Redoriv

The Republic of Redoriv is a nation in western Eldham which was founded on July 21st 2021, in the prior territory of Florandia. It exists currently on the western fringe of the world of Eldham. The people of Redoriv originally served under a feudal monarchy until the aftermath of The Short War. The state reformed into a more structured modern republic with a heavy focus on state autonomy soon after.

The Silent Revolution
Upon the arrival of Gorzealion and his followers, there was already a great deal of unrest in the land. With short manners of diplomacy, introductions, and vision to rally the unrest together, the Revolution was underway.

Azkraken and Virfortis were the lead territories of the revolution. One diplomat - known commonly as CdrPossum - reached out to foreign nations and internal states alike to give them time to meet with one of the revolution's leaders, Gorzealion. Without his actions, the Revolution wouldn't have been able to start so suddenly and so successfully. The "Bad Faith Counts" were formed - counts of Florandia who supported the revolution.

The High King of Florandia, Kyborg, named the "Mad King" by the revolutionaries, demanded hostilities against the young nation. However, Redoriv soon gained the popular support of foreign nations. The struggle of the revolution was not one of swords, but one of politics and diplomacy. The revolutionaries were swift in their public relations campaign, gaining support for the revolution and denouncements of the Mad King. It was the Mad King's own Regent, chosen by the counts left in Florandia to manage the nation prior to the Mad King's absence, who opted to give this power away. Supporters of Redoriv across Eldham began placing red banners on their gates with the words "I'm for The People, I am for Redoriv." This trend brought the revolutionaries to the international spotlight. On the 25th of July, 2021, the Mad King surrendered his throne to the revolutionaries and ceded power. Work began to create a government for the Republic of Redoriv.

The Short War
On July 28th, 2021, only days after the revolution and prior to the independence festival, the Empire of Aristios opened war with Redoriv. This act was fueled by a prior interest Aristios had in the Kingdom of Florandia, an interest delayed by the revolution. Holy relics found the night before was the asserted cause of the war. Redoriv demonstrated the trouble invasion would have, and the war was avoided. Peace was wanted and the two sides spoke of entering into mutual treaties, though many in Redoriv saw this as forced relations with a hostile empire. A photo to show good faith was taken by Aristios to ease those fears of the Emperor of Aristios walking into Redoriv land, signaling the cease of hostilities.

Treaties and deals broke down the next day as foreign nations such as Barbossa denounced the actions of Aristios. This gave Redoriv the opportunity to remain a free people without the need to enter into forced ties with a nation that openly declared war on them. Not all members of state were in support of the shift, yet the sentiment to be a free people was the majority's interest for Redoriv. Some members of state stepped down. Aristios continued to leave a sour taste in the mouth of the international community. The war was over, the conflict avoided, and the people of Redoriv focused on prior goals, hosting their first holiday and festival: Independence Day.

The First and Last Grand Marshal, Gorzealion
The early days of post-revolution Redoriv saw internal turbulence. Different factions within the new nation had differing views for Redoriv should become. Ultimately, a Constitution was drafted that turned the original bad faith counts in to “archons” of each state, created a Senate made up of one representative from each state, and created an executive government led by a “Grand Marshal,” with various other officials below them. The first and last Grand Marshal was Gorzealion.

Gorzealion's Vision
Gorzealion, under the rank of Grand Marshal, prioritized the creation of recruitment campaigns, encouraging the people of Eldham to join the new nation. Gorzealion, who thought the nation was unprepared to defend itself, branded Redoriv as a “Militant Cultural Republic.” Factions within the newly formed Senate of the Republic urged for Redoriv’s capitulation to and vassalization under Aristios. Others in the Republic instead pushed for defense of the newly found Republic’s independence and sovereignty. Gorzealion was in the latter camp, but also recognized that, in reality, Redoriv had too small a population to protect or truly hold such a vast amount of land. Gorzealion feared that, without serious change and reform, the nation would be lost as soon as it had been founded.

Gorzealion’s attempts at such change and reform saw some success, but also was met with setbacks. CdrPossum, originally a close ally of Gorzealion’s from the Republic, disagreed with the latter’s vision of the Republic. CdrPossum believed the overly militaristic view of the Republic would bring about a ruthless image of its government counterproductive to the values of the nation at large. Others in the Senate held this view. Gorzealion maintained that his militaristic society was the only thing that could protect the young Republic and continued pushing for his reforms both within the Senate and throughout the various towns of Redoriv.

Internal Struggle
Gorzealion’s leadership was accused of various shortcomings. Only two weeks following the Revolution, Gorzealion was confronted by three groups of migrants that had traveled to Redoriv. One of these groups was welcomed by Gorzealion and the Senate and formed the Eastern State of Ryveria (Modern day Argentum). Another group called themselves Kylesville. This group settled in the northern desert upon another State’s property. The citizens of Kylesville refused to be assimilated into Redoriv as citizens. Gorzealion recognized this as disrespect of the nation’s sovereignty and delivered an ultimatum to the leader of Kylesville, insisting they leave. Ultimately, Kylesville left Redoriv, but the actions of Gorzealion threatening war without the consent of the Senate left a sour taste in the mouths of many of its members. Gorzealion maintained that the Senate’s consent for war would only be necessary when fighting would be on foreign soil, not when the war was internal to the Republic. The Senate did not accept this view and, without a court that held the necessary interpretive power, the issue was never settled.

Gorzealion, troubled by the continuous tensions between his administration and the Senate, consulted with Hippymancer, the Archon of Azkraken. Gorzealion questioned whether he should create a platform for all in the Republic to express their disputes and disagreements and discuss them, or whether he should continue with the status quo of behind-closed-doors meetings. Hippymancer advised him to not create such a platform, suggesting that it would increase the power of Gorzealion’s dissidents. Ultimately, in an attempt to ease tensions, Gorzealion created this platform. Senators would have the chance to voice their concerns about the Gorzealion administration to the Republic. While Gorzealion may have created this platform with good leadership in mind, it was ultimately detrimental to his administration. The Senators began denouncing Gorzealion publicly. Gorzealion believed these denouncements were driven by a want for power, while the Senators, led by CdrPossum, argued that they were driven by the tyrannical nature of Gorzealion’s reign as Grand Marshal. Ultimately, Hippymancer, who Gorzealion had consulted earlier, also denounced Gorzealion.

Goonsville's Arrival
During this time, Gorzealion received word from a group led by InverseAtom. InverseAtom advised Gorzealion that they would create Goonsville, their own nation, on unused Redorivan land in the South, and that they had no intent of joining the Republic.

Gorzealion, again recognizing a threat to the Republic’s sovereignty, said in response that this was an act of invasion and would be treated as such. Gorzealion mobilized the nation’s military to prepare the defense of the land upon which Goonsville was being constructed. However, after meeting with the leaders of Goonsville, the Archon of the State insisted that they be allowed to buy and settle on the unused lands and become friends of Redoriv. Gorzealion, angered and disillusioned by this, argued that the failure to protect Redorivan land from a direct threat was tantamount to treason, and believed that the Archon’s insistence on selling the land for the financial gain of their State was tantamount to corruption. The Senate ultimately agreed with the archon of the State, approving the sale of land to the Goonsville settlers.

Gorzealion refused this acquiescence. During a meeting between Gorzealion and foreign military leaders, members of the Senate, led by CdrPossum, burst in to insist Gorzealion had no right to wage war on the Goonsville settlers. Gorzealion maintained that the war was truly declared with Goonsville’s insistence on taking Redorivan land, arguing that the war was not started by him, but that he simply refused to surrender. Gorzealion accused the Senators of ignorance, arguing that they had shown Redoriv’s internal struggle and disunity. The Senators maintained that Gorzealion was, in their view, once again exceeding his Constitutional bounds. Gorzealion apologized for the intrusion and attempted to move the meeting to a more private space. There were ultimately no developments in the war itself, though the actions of Gorzealion led the Senate to restrict his power by legislative fiat. They did not insist that Gorzealion step down, though he saw their proposed restriction of his power and the reduction of the office of Grand Marshal to a simple figurehead.

Departure
Ultimately, the Senate began impeachment proceedings against Gorzealion. He stepped down, believing that impeachment would lead to further disunity in the Republic, and fearing that such disunity would lead to civil war. Upon Gorzealion’s departure from the executive government, a new Constitution was drafted, primarily by CdrPossum and Renar Fireheart. The position of Grand Marshal was abolished and replaced with a President elected by the Senate.

Cdrpossum's Presidency
CdrPossum ultimately won the first Presidential election with 8 of 9 votes and became the first president of Redoriv. The Kingdom of Balistar, one of the former states of Redoriv, seceded peacefully not long after. The land that Goonsville had settled on was sold to them, and the Senate once again dealt with threats from the neighboring Aristios.

The First Darian Rebellion
Upon Possum's election, the young nation was met with its most difficult challenge to date. Daria, a state inside of Redoriv, had declared unlawful independence and claimed they were going to take half of the country with them. The state had already gained international support from Aristios, Redoriv's neighbor. Solving this was Possum's first priority.

Possum moved quickly behind the scenes to change the winds of the conflict. He identified individuals to assist Redoriv and, upon negotiations with the rogue state, managed to bring Daria back into the Redorivian fold. House, the leader of the Darian rebellion, was removed. Possum had succeeded in preserving the Republic.

oBerry as Acting President
oBerry, having previously been appointed as Vice President by Cdrpossum, rose as the de facto President as Cdrpossum relieved himself from duty due to health issues. His reign as acting President of Redoriv is remembered because of its general peace. New legislation was passed during his presidency, and Redoriv was able to become a country anybody would be able to join. Vice President oBerry worked with Senators such as Zukaus Tidebringer and Alasdair Moray to pass the Common Law of Redoriv, defining national laws and state powers, and together the group also began work on an amended Constitution of Redoriv. While oBerry enjoyed relative peace, two key conflicts plagued the nation during his Presidency. It was also during oBerry's reign as acting President that the Kingdom of Balistar rejoined Redoriv.

The Second Darian Rebellion
The first conflict oBerry had to deal with was another Darian Rebellion. Split and Nikhsane were two Darian politicians who had remained in power following the removal of House. Split was the appointed archon and senator. Nikhsane, however, felt he still held power and attempted to remove Daria from Redoriv again.

However, Nikhsane did not have the support of his citizens, and they rebelled against him. The rebellion was ultimately quelled under oBerry's leadership, and Split and Nikhsane were removed.

The Gambitgrad Insurrection
The State of Tuhrifel, under the leadership of the Dragonguard, had recruited a group new to Eldham to join the state. At first, it seemed the group would fit in perfectly and was enjoying Redoriv. However, the group soon decided they wanted more, and left the State of Tuhrifel, declaring they were to be independent. A manhunt ensued.

oBerry and his administration, with the help of some key individuals in Redoriv, found the new settlement the group had made called Gambitgrad. The settlement was located in the state of Derufolyo. oBerry, along with Moriikrill Hammercrest, Mac Värosja-Fielinya, Zukaus Tidebringer, and all of Tuhrifel, traveled to Gambitgrad to deliver an ultimatum: leave within 72 hours or be removed. The group, unarmed, was attacked by the inhabitants of Gambitgrad. Upon this, oBerry mobilized the GEAR alliance against the insurrectionists. In the end, Gambitgrad left, leaving Redorivian lands, and were not seen again.

Brandamir's Presidency
On October 15th, 2021, oBerry decided not to run for the Presidency. Instead, he vouched for Brandamir, who would make oBerry his Vice President.

Brandamir was elected President by the Senate, running unopposed after passage of a proposition from Senator Zukaus Tidebringer barring candidates with dual citizenship from serving as President.

While Brandamir initially named oBerry as his Vice President, oBerry had to step down from this position. Brandamir named Mac Värosja-Fielinya of Tuhrifel is Vice President. Brandamir and Mac continued work with Alistair Moray and Zukaus Tidebringer on the amended Constitution, which was unanimously adopted by the Senate on October 23rd, 2021. This new Constitution defined the powers of the President and created the Supreme Court of Redoriv to hear cases and controversies under Redorivan Law. Brandamir filled the first court with Chief Justice Zukaus Tidebringer, Justice YoshiPossumRocks, and Justice Hammond.

Under Brandamir's presidency, Redoriv withdrew from the defunct GEAR alliance and focused on forging Mutual Defense Pacts with its neighbors. Redoriv was also instrumental in the creation of the League of the Setting Sun, an alliance of Western Eldham nations for mutual defense.

Under Brandamir's presidency, the Senate created the Cultural Committee, with the goal of identifying key cultural development opportunities in Redoriv. Brandamir filled the Cultural Committee, and it began work. Song of the Western Skies, composed by Moriikrill Hammercrest, was adopted as the National Anthem, and the nation's first holiday was celebrated: Constitution Day.

Brandamir's six-month presidency was largely peaceful. Squatter claims either left on their own accord or were integrated into Redoriv, and MDPs were signed with multiple nations, including Aristios, which had become Redoriv's unlikely friend.

Brandamir and Mac oversaw the creation of an interstate highway network in Redoriv, a fair tax system for all states, and the development of our national image through the adoption of official insignias and flags.

The Lome Insurrection
Early in Brandamir's Presidency, Carter, the Archon of Lome, advised Vice-President MacNuclear that two of his citizens were in active rebellion, assaulting Lome Government officials over an unknown dispute. MacNuclear called all available soldiers. Vice President MacNuclear, Minister of War Courier, Captain Zuko, and soldiers Ferdiadh, Moriik, Maso, Enthusiastic, and Krash were dispatched to Lome to support Carter, the Archon and legitimate ruler of the state.Upon the force's arrival, one of the citizens had already left Lome. The other member of the Rebellion, BlockOutGamer, and barricaded himself atop the Tower of Lome, firing upon the troops. Courier sent a group from the detachment to pillar up. Before they could reach the top of the tower, Captain Zuko fired upon BlockOutGamer through a hole in the barricade he had constructed, killing the rebel.

Court Cases
Brandamir, as President, was brought to Court by several citizens of the Republic for failure to comply with the Senate Transparency Act, which required the President to make bills and propositions visible to citizens before they passed. The Court ultimately ruled against President Brandamir.

In Pizza et al. v the Government of Redoriv, Chief Justice Tidebringer wrote: "Because the President failed to comply with the STA, and because this failure to comply resulted in the very injury to citizens that the Senate Transparency Act sought to prevent, the plaintiffs in this case may seek damages from the government." Brandamir was ordered to pay each citizen involved in the suit $1,000 from the Federal Treasury.

Territorial Disputes with the Kingdom of ErrorL (KOEL)
Brandamir's biggest challenge came towards the end of his presidency. ErrorL, an inhabitant of neighboring Goonguard, had repeatedly built into Redoriv territory, ignoring requests to stop. Repeatedly, InverseAtom, then Emperor of Goonguard, would have Error remove the invasive claims.

This caused internal conflict in Redoriv, when the state of Tavia attempted to force war with Goonguard. The inhabitants of the state were banished and troops were dispatched to prepare to remove them. Tavia ultimately left peacefully.

Eventually, ErrorL constructed the ErrorL games, built almost entirely on Redorivian land. When asked to remove the structure, he offered to donate it to Redoriv. The Senate declined. Ultimately, a group of Senators, led by Zero25 and Jeremydw, allowed Error to plead his case to the Senate. An arrangement was worked to allow the games to stay under a rental agreement between Redoriv and Error.

Tavian Rebellion
The Archon of the State of Tavia, angered by the Republic's acquiescence to the Kingdom of ErrorL, began talks with the government of K.O.E.L. himself, demanding the absolute removal of the games and threatening war should his demands not be met. Brandamir intervened, advising the Kingdom of ErrorL that the Archon of Tavia had no right to make these demands on behalf of Redoriv. Angered, the State of Tavia announced that they would not continue their partnership with Redoriv should the Republic not institute their policy towards K.O.E.L. Brandamir, pursuant to his Constitutional Powers, declared the State of Tavia an active rebellion, removing their Archon, revoking their Representation in Government, and declaring them fugitives. Troops from the Redorivan Army, led by Minister of War Courier, were dispatched to the city of Tavia.

The citizens of Tavia had barricaded themselves in the buildings and fired upon the troops. Zukaus Tidebringer, Captain in the Army and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, advised the Rebels that they were entitled under the Constitution to a trial, but that such a trial could only be held should they agree to come to Oreclad, then the Capital, peacefully. After some time, the Rebels agreed to do so.

The detachment of Redorivan Soldiers, including Vice President Mac, Minister of War Courier, Captains Zuko and Bedchamp, and Soldiers Yoshi, Moriik, Zero25, and Tepiggo received the surrendering rebels at the gates of the city. They led the rebels north to Oreclad, where they would be imprisoned to await trial. Along the way, the rebels drew concealed weapons and turned on the detachment. A skirmish ensued in the Forest between Oreclad and Tavia. Ultimately, the Rebels were slain. Their remnants left Redoriv to an Island, where they founded a new nation. The detachment that arrested the Rebels returned to Tavia and occupied it.

Continued Developments
All seemed well, until some Senators complained that Error had broken the agreement, expanding the games further into Redorivian land. Brandamir took the evidence of breach of contract to InverseAtom, requesting the Error be removed from Goonguard. Error learned of this and, infuriated, informed Brandamir of his intent to go to war with Redoriv.

Zuko's Presidency
Brandamir's presidency ended on April 15th. The Senate elected Zukaus Tidebringer of Tuhrifel as president with a 9-4 vote margin.

Zukaus Tidebringer, or Zuko for short, became President at 12:00 a.m. April 15th, 2021, stepping down as Chief Justice to take the new role. He named Zero25 of Oreclad as his Vice President. Immediately, Zuko was informed by ex-President Brandamir of Error's intent to invade Redoriv. Zuko engaged in talks with Error, who he had known for a while, in an attempt to talk him down from the invasion. Error was not receptive of Zuko's suggestions, and insisted on war.

KOEL War
A group of Goons, including Bedchamp, met with Error to broker a peace deal. Error's deal involved the removal of two Redorivian states and giving him control of the land in them. The deal was given to Zuko, who referred it to the Senate. After discussion, the Senate quickly rejected the deal.

However, Zuko needed time. So, he told Error and the Goons that the deal was still being worked through the Senate, and would take multiple days to pass. During this time, he had his generals and ministers prepare for war. During this time, ErrorL set up multiple invasive claims in Redoriv, killing citizens of the Republic. Outraged, Redorivians further rallied, giving millions of dollars to the war effort. At the end of the few days he had bought the Republic, he announced to the world the grievances of ErrorL, the rejection of the deal, and the coming war in Redoriv.

Multiple nations from all over the world rallied around Redoriv. Allies of the nation and friends of Zuko's came to the Republic's aid, giving equipment and soldiers for the fight ahead. The conflict made international headlines, dominating the conversation across Eldham. Zuko, along with Foreign Relations Minister Feridadh of Earrach, activated all MDPs, and identified other nations to come to the Republic's aid.

However, before the first battle of the war, ErrorL disappeared from Eldham. His followers abandoned the war, and a peace treaty was worked between Zuko and the new leader of the Kingdom of ErrorL.

Post-KOEL War
The new found peace gave Zuko the opportunity to focus on internal development. He created new ministries in the executive government of Redoriv for finance and law. Zuko with his Finance Minister, ex-Vice President Mac Värosja-Fielinya, grew the federal treasury three-fold. Zuko turned to culture in Redoriv, having the Senate pass the Culturally Significant Act which gave artisans in Redoriv an avenue through which they could have their pieces of art recognized by the Senate. He reorganized the inactive Cultural Committee, filling it with driven individuals, and focused on hosting regular events in Redoriv. Not long after the ErrorL conflict, Zero25 stepped down, and Mac Värosja-Fielinya rose to the Vice Presidency, with Jeremy taking Mac's position as Finance Minister and Carter of Lome becoming Minister of Law.

The Furry War
Zuko was approached by Blitz, the leader of Anglunia, an elven Kingdom near Redoriv who had declared a mutual friendship with the Republic during Brandamir's Presidency. Redoriv was invited to the Silver League, an alliance of Anglunia, the Vulperium, and The Pale. The Senate approved Redoriv's entrance into the League. The Silver League saw few issues during it's time. However, under Zuko's Presidency and due to Redoriv's membership in the Silver League, the Republic saw its first military deployment in a foreign nation. Zuko sent a force of Redorivan soldiers to support the defense of Manzig in the Furry War. Ultimately, the Vulperium ceded the city to the U.S.S.E., ending the conflict.

Darius' Rebellion
Redoriv enjoyed a peaceful, quiet time. People mostly kept to themselves. Zuko was able to focus some on Tuhrifel's development. This changed when Kole, Archon of Manandorff, approached Zuko with troubling news. Rebellion was brewing in Wistula and Lugnica, two territories of Redoriv, led by Darius. Zuko, using his constitutional authority, banished the rebels and named them Kill-on-Site pending a trial in the Supreme Court. Thanks to Kole's help, Zuko and his administration were able to do this before the rebels were ready to go public. Ultimately, Desaster, who President Zuko had banished under his rebellion powers, went to trial in the Supreme Court. Trial was heard by Chief Justice Yoshi, Justice Hammond, and Justice Lone. Desaster represented himself. President Zuko sent Minister of Law Carter to represent the Government's Position. The Court ultimately overturned Desaster's banishment.

Zuko, along with Vice President Mac and ministers Carter, Jeremy, and Ferdiadh, once again rallied the troops and activated alliances. A war would happen in Lugnica. Zuko kept the troop number secret from the rebels, instructing all those involved in diplomatic talks to downplay the Redorivian response, and having mercenaries not go public with their support. The rebels, however, felt the pressure of the Republic's strong force, and talks began between Minister Jeremy and the rebels. An agreement was reached wherein the states of Lugnica and Wistula (now Florandia) would remain in Redoriv, but would lose involvement in the federal government and function as autonomous zones.

Zuko and his administration heard the complaints of the rebels and examined the governmental order, meeting with CdrPossum, first President of Redoriv, Firesword, one of the Redorivian founders, and Chief Justice Yoshi to get their thoughts. Zuko drafted his amendments to the Redorivian Constitution, which were adopted by the Senate on August 21st, 2022.

Establishment of the People's House
This saw the further development of the powers of the President, as well as the creation of the People's House, Redoriv's first democratically elected government body. The People's House would govern how the Federal Government treats citizens, while the Senate would govern the relationship between the Federal Government and the States. Redoriv held its first election for the People's House on August 31st, 2022. The House was seated on September 1st, 2022.

Zuko's presidency ended on October 15th, 2022. This marked the end of his six-month presidency, the maximum allowed for a Redorivian president after adoption of Zuko's presidential term limit act. The Republic continued to focus on cultural development with the hosting of regular events and the creation of the University of Redoriv system.

Hammond's Presidency
On October 15th, 2022, the Senate elected Justice Hammond of the Supreme Court as President of Redoriv. Hammond had ran against Jeremydw, Zuko's Minister of Finance. Hammond retained much of Zuko's cabinet, including Vice President Mac, Finance Minister Jeremy, Foreign Relations Minister Ferdiadh, and Cultural Minister Moriik. Hammond created a Ministry in charge of agriculture and food, and named Senator Lone, Archon of Avalon as its minister. Hammond nominated Zuko to take his role on the Supreme Court, and the Senate confirmed that nomination.

Hammond has continued work on cultural development throughout Redoriv, including art contests and events. Additionally, he and his generals have overseen an overhaul of the Redorivan army with the help of generals from Anglunia, one of Redoriv's closest allies.

Establishment of the Celestial Accords Treaty Organization
On November 19th, 2022, the Celestial Accords Treaty Organization (C.A.T.O.) was announced. President Hammond, Minister Ferdiadh, and former President Zuko acted as founding members alongside representatives from Anglunia, A.W.E., Sylvania, and Ashai (the union between Varn Torum and Raiyuna). The alliance is the strongest in Redoriv's history and is dedicated to preserving the nations' common interests.

Jeremy's Presidency
Jeremy, the Archon of Argentum, was elected as President by the Senate on December 16, 2022. Jeremy, with Zuko as his Vice-President pick, had run against Swifter of the Bedchamp Foundation.

In addition to the previously established cabinet, Jeremy created two new ministries in charge of Infrastructure and Internal Affairs. Each position was filled by Hammond van de Bergen, the former President of Redoriv, and Diamond van Hoeven, the Minister-President of Statenland, respectively.

The Militiagate Controversy
His presidency saw a political controversy around the Redorivian Democratic Socialist Party (RDSP), now dubbed the Militiagate. This controversy stemmed from the RDSP continuing their militia program, well after the People's House voted to ban the activity through the "Armed Political Militia Dissolution Act" in the middle of September 2022. After an investigation by Minister of Justice StableGenius123, most members of the party pleaded guilty except for Jimjam and Archon Jakob Vyndrar Kole of Manandorff, who plead innocence.

Ferdiadh's Presidency
Ferdiadh, the recently elected Archon of Earrach, was elected president by the Senate on February 16, 2023, defeating Archon of Avalon, Lone, by 8-1. Ferdiadh's presidency saw the largest number of executive governmentals officials in the history of Redoriv by appointing, among the already existing ministerial positions, a Minister of Education, Finance and the Interior, a position filled by Alexios Roussakis, Emi Varosja-Fielinya, and Jeremy of Argentum, respectively.

His presidency saw Manandorff and Virfortis losing their statehood status for their lack of response in the Redorivan Census, Virfortis being turned into the territory of Crowhaven, which houses Goonists who no longer supported the Kingdom of ErrorL, and the incorporation of the Azad-Aquaris Union into the Republic of Redoriv

Acquisition of Azad-Aquaris
Azad-Aquaris, an archipelagic nation located southwest of Earrach, joined The Republic of Redoriv at the behest of its leader, MikeCoffee on February 24, 2023. They are incorporated as the territory of Redoriv for at least 21 days before they can attain statehood within the republic.

Mac Varosja-Fielinya's Presidency
MacNuclear, former Vice-President under Brandamir and Zuko, was elected President by the Senate on June 15th, 2023. MacNuclear's Presidency was initially focused on internal development. However, soon the focus of the Republic shifted.

Return of the Kingdom of ErrorL
Early in Mac Varosja-Fielinya's first term, ErrorL returned to Eldham. Initially, the Republic of Redoriv and the Kingdom of ErrorL coexisted peacefully on the continent. However, soon after the reformation of the Kingdom of ErrorL, the states that had participated in Darius's Rebellion under President Zukaus Tidebringer announced their secession from Redoriv to form a new nation known as Edenia. This secession was supported by the Kingdom of ErrorL. Redoriv soon became a nation of wartime production.

Mac, along with Jeremy, Zuko, and Ferdiadh, met with ErrorL and his government to discuss a peaceful end to hostilities. Both sides agreed that war would be overly cumbersome for little return. Redoriv, who had offered independence to the State of Florandia in the past, agreed to allow that state and the unused lands of Manandorff to join the Kingdom of ErrorL. In return, the nothern state of Lugnica, which housed the historic Redorivan city of Respite, was returned to the Republic of Redoriv's control. The Senate, having been presented with the option to join Sylvania to avoid the need for absolute conversion of the national economy to wartime production in such times, decided to join the Republic's oldest friend and ally as a Province. The terms of the treaty were negotiated by Mac and Zukaus Tidebringer, then the Chief Justice of the Redorivan Supreme Court. The treaty required that Sylvania recognize and enforce Redoriv's internal Constitution, which remained unchanged but for the removal of foreign policy elements. Redoriv continues the Government it has had since the Presidency of Zuko, with the Senate, House, President, and Court still directing law and policy within the Province.

Assimilation into Sylvania
President Mac Varosja-Fielinya oversaw the Republic of Redoriv's assimilation into Sylvania. As the elected President of Redoriv, Mac became the Province's first Duke in Sylvanian Government. Mac oversaw the adoption of the official Provincial Flag, designed by Sir Lad. Mac, with his aides, drafted a plan with Val, Supreme Judge of Sylvania, for the apportionment of Government Representatives for Redoriv within Sylvania's Government.

Post-Assimilation
After the assimilation of Redoriv into the Imperial Archonate of Sylvania, Mac Varosja-Fielinya oversaw regular events, including the celebration of Founder's Day. The Republic saw various cultural advancements, including the creation of the Redoriv Red Devils, the Republic's team in the Eldham Hockey League. The new state of Warwickstan was inducted into the Republic on August 14th, 2023, after a proposal by President Mac to the Senate.

Government
Redoriv, since its founding, has been composed of multiple states, each with an Archon. The Archon of a state is the owner of the state and is almost totally autonomous in governing that state.

The modern Federal Government of Redoriv has seen more democratization compared to the first constitutional order. The Federal Government now comprises the Assembly, the Supreme Court, and the Executive.

Executive Branch
The President is the head of the executive branch of the Redorivian Federal Government. They are responsible for the enforcement and execution of the Republic's laws. They are elected by the Senate to serve two-month terms and may not serve more than three-consecutive-terms. Since the Assimilation of Redoriv into Sylvania, the President also serves at the Province's Duke in Sylvanian Government.

Legislative Branch
The Federal Assembly is the legislative body of Redoriv. It is split into two houses: the Senate as the upper house and the People's House as the lower house.

The Senate is composed of one senator from each state, selected in a way the Archon of that state chooses. Archons may serve as their state's senator and often do. The Senate does not have terms or limits. They have the exclusive right to elect the President, confirm federal government appointees, may remove people from office upon impeachment by the People's House, create new states, give Archonship, revoke Archonship, define state powers, and to override Presidential vetoes.

The People's House is elected by the citizens of Redoriv. They govern the relationship between the federal government and the citizens. They serve one-month terms and do not have term limits.
