Bhutch

Bhutch Fienlinya-Akataste Regulus Bhutch, (IGN: Brianhutch) arrived in Eldham at 09/07/21 and had joined the small Pheonian city of Portavel, neighboring other cities like Klatch and Rapture. now a senator in Aristios-Zamotz

=Pheonian Collapse= The Pheonian Collapse was a series of events and failures within the Pheonian Government which began with the government happening to neighbor two large nations, who very much wanted a piece of the pie- and they happened to have an opportunity with the succession crisis when the chancellor of Pheonia stepped down without warning and left in their wake a very unstable government, with vice-chancellor Abbejohn assuming power in the meantime (he was not that good at it) many interests were at play- each of the mayors (other than RageO'Fire) had the interests of their own towns at heart and were thus split into three factions... but before that, a certain event happened, leading Bhutch to gain a position in the mayorship- that event being the Rapturian Secession, in which Astapf (civil) attempted to create his own republic in pheonia, the secession was brutally put down with the help of a merc group who executed the traitor at the spot; and this left open a space for a new mayor of Rapture- Bhutch. anyways, as that is told; the three factions were as such- the Solianans (Including Rai), the Portavellians (Including Bhutch and Slimicee) and the Republicans (RageO'Fire, other government people). this comes into play when the crisis, well officially happened- a disputed vote amongst the senate that led to half the country (the republicans) preparing to join the Zamotz Union- this led the other two fourths of us to scramble to gain autonomy during the transition- which was mainly found in us allying with different powers (who actually were both just the Zamotz union) or declaring independence and becoming their own thing (see: Vespera) and the Portavellians joining Zamotz as a seperate province- leading to two seperate provinces from the Pheonian region in the Zamotz government. this was also when the government ceased to function. I believe this marks the end of the Pheonian collapse.

Further details:

when the Province of Portavel joined the Zamotz union, we had two Ministers, Slimicee and Bhutch. this is relevant as it led to me being more experienced in governance.

The Pheonian Cities looked like this on a map of the old country- (Credit to Lo'Many... sorry for stealing your city :P)



My experience in government started with the mayorship of rapture being conferred onto me because I was, well, the first one on the scene. I will be the first to admit, I wasn't that good at governing it, but I still tried. this ended upon the formal retirement of Slimicee- ending up with me at the helm- and more of managing the city of Portavel. Sadly, I am not two men at once and ended up barely staying afloat in managing both of the cities for a while, while being an active minister in the Zamotzi government. I ended up running for Prime Minister as I thought I might have a chance, which I did- I largely campaigned for infrastructure expansion, getting people to work together and some various other issues. I did not win because a more qualified man than I came along, Bjorjan. great guy. it was a very close election with 22 votes for me and 23 votes for Bjorjan, and after a runoff election to confirm the results, Bjorjan won the election of October 10th, 2021.. anyways. I took a slight break from electoral politics and joined his cabinet to become minister of infrastructure and roads. Which, according to popular consensus two elections from that one, I was pretty good at :^P. another election passed, and a new prime minister came into power, CrispyBacon, another great guy who can attest that I was pretty good at building roads. next election was finally the start of my career of Major Politician, where I campaigned on the ideas of "firing a guy, getting people paid and building roads"- and won in a landslide election. "In a vote where 41 people participated, the final count came out to be 23-18 in favor of Bhutch!"- Bjorjan

ARISTII EXPERIENCES
"A letter arrives From the office of the Chancellor of Aristios

I've returned to come look at my past, and revise it... and now i have to say unfortunately, Zarissia was simply not meant to be, and due to the rise of monarchy in Aristios, I dont think it will be long either. this, is, well. unfortunate. I really liked Aristios, the people, the culture and most of all, the fact that it was one of the few genuine republics out there, existing amongst a sea of monarchists and autocrats and fake democracy- but now i have to say that has changed. Aristios is becoming alike to COG, and Portavel will have to become something outside of Aristios. Truly, my father was right;

Aristios crumbled without his support; and without mine it shall be naught but a distant memory of its former self. I can say with true certainty that Aristios held a special place in my heart, but it has lost that right through the traitorous actions of the former chancellor of 3 terms and the governors... I can say nothing. other than I am disappointed.

I have held many positions in Aristios- Chancellor, Governor, Mayor, Minister- and all of them lacked the support I intended to create in my term- the incompetence of one of the previous chancellors had left me and my Secretary of State in a rather miserable position, monarchists of the east due to a faulty bill, ignorance of the constitution and the gall to think that a monarchy would be allowed under a state that had just banished an emperor- i have no words. This is the same pride we witnessed during the merger of Zamotz-Aristios, where any criticism of the system was more or less ignored due to an unspoken pride about the greatness of the Aristii republic and how we thought it had no flaws other than the ones we ourselves could point out and fix- ones that were never truly issues until it was too late.

The laziness and overall incompetence of the senate, our bureaucracy being filled to the brim with people who wanted nothing more than to get out; overworked, unpaid but remained anyways because they loved Aristios- today was merely the breaking point. when you put the responsibilities of the country on so few people, eventually something will break. and when it did, you took it as a total flaw of the federal government rather than ignorance of the senate and certain high officials of what was truly going on on the ground floor. when one of our chancellors simply avoided doing their job for their entire term and still took that as their successful term; that was when the cracks started showing.

it is hard to overstate the significance these last six months have had to me. I will say it. I loved Aristios. with all the flaws and cracks that needed to be dealt with, Aristios was my home. somewhere where i felt accepted and where i could truly step into who i am today. a different man, that's for sure. but i cannot overstate the anger i feel at the governors of Aristios, the greed of wanting to keep all the benefits through a crisis as if their eyes were covered with rose-tinted glasses. not wanting to let go when we truly needed to and compromising with the east, created by the very person who intends to join them? Truly, the new ideas of what to make cannot be truly considered Aristios- Did you ever truly think monarchy and republican ideas could coalesce into one real state? if you said yes i would call you a liar and a fraud- THAT THING CANNOT TRULY BE CONSIDERED A REPUBLIC! i will not let the beast take our skin and wear it like a coat- clothed in the deceit they are speaking to themselves...

I'm done. Aristios is done. I announce my formal resignation from the position of Chancellor and the foundation of a new Republic, in Portavel if you want to come along for the ride, i will welcome any who join it, a Republic for the people, by the people.

one last time,

Ave Aristios

Ave the Republic"

Past Prime Minister of Zamotz Stuff

"So, basically, a lot of stuff happened in my term, but the Important Bits were the Second Sand War with Merkonis, (it was a slog, thank [] theyre gone) doing diplomacy with various nations, and just overall having a decent time. There is Also a merger with Aristios on the horizon, if you decided to read this far. a couple more big events was the Razuni's leaving and Irisnia taking their chunk out of that; I built a lot of roads, founded a guild, have a couple of government roles in various places, and have toured a large chunk of Zamotz, making maps, doing stuff. I also founded a guild; the Pan-Eldhamite Roadmakers, a group dedicated to making more roads. here is a map of my current progress, depending on how updated the wiki is- (base map is Westeros's)" -Bhutch

Past Merger Experiences

"So, Basically- when I was elected for a second term as PM, my whole goal was to do this merger- and also build more roads. but mainly the merger with Aristios. so, to do that, I had to run through lots of hoops, a 75% majority. etc." -Bhutch
