Egalitarian Commonwealth of Palaris

Overview
The Egalitarian Commonwealth of Palaris, simply known as Palaris, is a socialist, decentralized continuation of the UBSR. The UBSR was reformed into the Egalitarian Commonwealth of Palaris on December 24th, 2020. It was created in order to expand the autonomy of the former UBSR member states in order to foster more democratic processes within the nation, as well as expand to include more member states from outside the former UBSR.

ECP is currently part of the Crescent Concordant and the Sparwood Defense Bloc.

Territory
The ECP is located in the eastern continent of Sparwood. It is located south of Vraelea and west of Nýr Tlörn. The capital of the ECP is Duragrad.

Government
The government of the ECP consists of the General Assembly, the legislative body and soon-to-be main government of the nation. The Politburo (formerly part of the UBSR) will now solely act as an advisory body to the General Secretary.

Marleybone Dispute
The Marleybone Dispute is debated by historians to be the event that sparked the discussion of decentralization in the UBSR, ultimately leading to the creation of the ECP. On the days leading up to Christmas Eve, a new member of the UBSR, Gamersgaming, disagreed with the UBSR's policy on economy and prepared to secede from the nation.

Hours before the ECP was founded, Gamersgaming announced his secession. Not long after, "Great Leader" Travis of the UBSR said if Marleybone was to secede that it would cause a great secession crisis within the UBSR. Travis tallied a vote on Marleybone's independence and it was voted that it should not secede, but Gamersgaming refused, so Travis made a deal:

The UBSR will allow Marleybone to become a protectorate of the UBSR, but anything further will result in local militias declaring war on the region of Marleybone.

Gamersgaming thought about it and signed the deal. Marleybone now runs its own government, economy, and military.
