== The Doulantese Schism and Civil War ==
=== The Doulantese Schism ===
Following several tumultuous weeks within the Republic of Discord for Doulant. Doulant held a referendum to split from the republic on 8/13/2022. This was followed closely by several organizations springing up, notably the DFA and DUF, both headed by Smile Not, Loyalist Doulant, headed by Resprune, and Unitary Doulant headed by Joseph V. Stalin. Though no war was officially declared the DFA took several actions to attempt to fix the foreign affairs within RoD given that Joseph V. Stalin was seen by the DFA as a tyrant who was using his position as President of the Republic of Discord to suppress the voice of the people. The tensions were somewhat exacerbated by the evident hacking of Resprune's account and subsequent nuking of the old Doulant state server. At the time the hack wasn't able to be conclusively confirmed and Reprune took most of the blame for the incident personally despite later being exonerated. At this time Smile Not and Mcl5 both had wanted posters commissioned of them within Unitary Doulant which resulted in more distrust which continued to grow throughout the remainder of Stalin's presidency. Upon Hersey taking office from Stalin, the DFA and DUF both disbanded and reintegrated peacefully into the republic. Following this the midterm elections presented suspicious circumstances of votes and resulted in a DIA investigation that ended in the detaining of 11 Unitary Doulantese nationals. Which then culminated into a settlement by then Director Smile Not and the 11 members arrested, this settlement was turned into a sore spot of contention for the coming weeks as specifically Itsybee would use it to try and get out of charges committed after the settlement. Following Hersey's presidency and part of Broski_Biden's presidency, Smile Not resigned from the DIA (now the RIA) and took power in the Loyalist Doulant server, attempting to restore it to peace so that the state may go out peacefully, eventually it was recognized as a territory of RoD for a short period.
=== Road to War ===
On October 5th, a member named Wendhou began attempting to mass ping spam the Loyalist Doulant (Now Tsardom of Doulant). This resulted in him being arrested and later leaving the server, Smile Not, being annoyed that a member of Unitary Doulant was attempting to raid his server, went to the Unitary Doulantese server to request that the user was arrested for violating ToS and the sovereignty of the Tsardom of Doulant. At first the Unitary Doulantese complied and Wendhou was arrested, however he was later released without charges by ItsyBee for unclear reasons, this resulted in Smile Not giving the Unitary Doulantese 10 hours to rearrest and charge him, this request was not followed through on and on October 6th, 2022, The Tsardom of Doulant officially declared independence from RoD and Declared war on Unitary Doulant.
