The Fifth Republic

The Fifth Republic of Discord was one of the largest versions of the Republic of Discord and successor to the First Discordian Remnant and the Fourth Republic. The server housing the Fifth Republic was initially used by Mcl5#8246 as a game server/events hub for the Fourth Republic, until the unfortunate events of the Discordian Catastrophe forcing it's temporary, then permanent conversion as a primary Discordian Server.
== Origins ==
The Fifth Republic of Discord was created in the chaotic aftermath of the Discordian Catastrophe and dissolution of the Discordian Remnant. After a short crisis known as the "May Crisis" between ROD Administrators and ROD Military Command, the Military, represented by Mcl5, agreed to hand over ownership of the Fifth Republic in the interest of a continued Discordia. 
== Rommel Ownership ==
The Rommel Ownership immediately began with the removal of Mcl5 from most high administrative positions and the creation of the Rommel/Ion Administration. The activity of the Fifth Republic almost immediately began to wane under Rommel, as due to IRL and other concerns he was in no position to continue his custodianship of the Republic.
Regardless, his ownership continued without incident. Eventually, Rommel recognized the state of the server and announced that he would be hosting elections for a new owner to replace him.
== The Ownership Election ==
The Ownership Election began with candidates such as Ion, Logan, and Mcl5 sending in written arguments as to why they should be made owner to Rommel. Instead of a popular vote as was anticipated by the candidates, random delegates were selected to vote on a new owner. In a upset decision, spearheaded mostly by Delegate Vito's fanatical support for a Mcl5 Ownership, Mcl5 won in a landslide vote against challengers Logan and Ion. 
Almost immediately Logan attempted to have Mcl5 disqualified for electoral fraud, but as this failed, Mcl5 was inaugurated as Owner of the Fifth Republic.
== Mcl5 Ownership ==
Mcl5, now owner of the Fifth Republic, was in a more powerful position than he had been in months. Sidelined at the end of the Fourth Republic, his era begun now. Despite energetic beginnings, the creation of a spited Rin and Logan's Nation RP caused a split in the three former administrators and re built bridges between Rin and Logan.
The Mcl5 Ownership was one rife with riots, revolutions, and drama, as well as the occasional activity drought. The inexperienced owner blundered his way through mistake after crisis until the end of it all with the "Taurus Revolution." Mcl5's inept decision to make 9 individuals admin as a joke and leave the server for 2 hours led to the total collapse of the Republic of Discord's confidence in their ownership, and with no support other than Romulus, he entered into negotiations with a staff team in rebellion.
Eventually, a settlement was reached where Mcl5 would be allowed to retire as Deputy Owner, and Logan would be made Owner of the Server.
== Logan Ownership ==
The Logan Ownership capitalized off of the activity built by Mcl5 and his Ownership and immediately begun the restoration of the Republic. A new constitutional convention was called, and the creation of the Sixth Republic was made official by a number of officials with the creation of new positions and a new team of administrators.
With the peaceful end of the Fifth Republic, a new era had begun for the ROD.
