Breakup of Ultimaborea

The Breakup of Ultimaborea is a period from the secession of Laterano to the Callania Wars. It is often divided up into three stages, the first, second, and third collapses. The first collapse entails the initial secession of Laterano in 1571 shortly before the federal election of 1569. Very soon after, the leadership of the Republic of Ultimaborea declared war on the newly independent Laterano. Laterano, in the nick of time, found itself in a defensive pact with Occidentalis. Upon learning this, leadership in the Republic fractured, leading to the second collapse, also in 1571. Both Soga-Hackdirt and Ehrenfest seceded from Ultimaborea to avoid the war with Occidentalis. This left Ultimaborea, now only consisting of Aglartha to fight the war. This led to Ultimaborea formally merging into Ehrenfest to form the Diarchy of Ehrenfest-Ultimaborea, also known as the DEUB. In 1559, due to a motion proposed by Ehrenfest leadership to make the DEUB a vassal of Occidentalis, Gamer10161 seceded as Ultimaborea, bringing Soga, Hackdirt, and Helgia with it. Shortly after though, the former Soga-Hackdirt seceded from Ultimaborea as Callania. This marks the Third Collapse. Things remained stable for a while, with the main conflict being a border crisis between the rump state of Ultimaborea and Laterano, until the eventual invasion and annexation of Callania by Ultimaborea.
