Aristii Civil War

The Aristii civil war was a civil war between the Commonwealth of Aristios (CoA) and the Grand Empire of Aristios. The Commonwealth of Aristios was led by Emperor Inverse, on the other hand, the Grand Empire of Aristios was led by Emperor Otto.

Prelude
On October twenty-eighth Otto the current Emperor at the time had made democracy even stronger and created an electoral college type system, that had four parties Liberal, Social Dem, Nationalist, and Monarchist. (just for the first election) This method of democracy was frowned upon by a few senators and province governors for being too complicated.

Inverse held a vote to be given full power to oversee votes through google forms but it didnt pass, in addition his friends party was loosing the elections, he believed Aristios had to be changed. On October thirtieth Inverse, Echo Regis, Azrielz, Chadifex, **Z, Michael Valore, Dot, Bea Ruuk, and Sirlad had a meeting about Aristii's "Failing Democracy". During that meeting a coup was proposed by Azrielz and Chadifex, Inverse took charge. (Chadifex turned out to just be a troll playing with the commonwealth and making up lies to both sides to have fun so both sides agreed to ban him)

The Commonwealth being formed
Inverse announced the founding of the Commonwealth of Aristios on October thirty-first. This news brought panic to the capital of Aristios, Oleapolis. For the first time the world power of Aristios was weak. Many people fled and Wize_nifty, an ancient member ended up having to take a break from the server because of the stress build-up with the toxicity of the Commonwealth.

Tensions
During the middle of the civil war every province had to decide what to do. Either join the Commonwealth, declare independence and neutrality or join Otto's temporary coalition of states. Most declared neutrality, but eventually all rejoined Otto's coalition forming a majority. Certain cases like Castellum and Sylvania being definitively Commonwealth or the weird case of Astillia where it was split in half. Astrya declared independence as Azad but sided fully with the Imperials.

Pre Negotiations/Referendum
Ultimately if the crisis would come down to a real war, the Empire was destined to lose since the Commonwealth Emperor Inverse A Olea was a leader of the big PvP Group/Nation Goons which was where Inverse lived. During the war, all the Goons joined the Commonwealth as "citizens" which gave them the upper hand in the negotiations. Right after the Civil War all the Goons renounced their citizenship. So for those 4-5 transition hours, Aristios had a stronger military than half of Eldham combined.

There was a vote held right after the declaration of the coup, which turned as 70 % pro Imperial. However a few Commonwealth Imperials where banned so if they could also vote it would be about 67% pro Imperial. The majority of the commonwealth voters where from Sylvania, the vassal of Aristios. However this vote was ignored by the Commonwealth.

Negotiations
Thankfully, after the Imperial Coalition formed Inverse sat down with Otto and managed to negotiate, they ended up deciding a new government together. Both where temporary Chancellors for a few days and watched the transition to power. Otto then left Stoneworks and left Aristios at the hands of the Republic The Commonwealth constitution was put into place but the Aristii way of life remained the same.

Provinces/Towns Aftermath
On November second negotiations were finished and Aristios became (almost) whole again. The most notable changes were the secession of Astrya, Abaddon, and New Arebor. When the towns of Abaddon and New Arebor seceded, they took a bit of Olemeronia's and Preyella's southern and northern land. The province of Astrya now known as Azad declared independence and took their province with them, this was the most drastic change to the Aristios map.

Leadership Aftermath
On November fourth there were emperor elections. Otto worked with Inverse to create a new government and senate since Otto's knowladge of statistics like population for cities/provinces was crucial for a fair senate. Inverse was elected Emperor. Otto said goodbye and left Stoneworks. After 1 month he was banished from the nation he built after criticizing the Republic for decreased the Aristii population by 50% and not recovering at all even after 1 month.
