Time of Troubles

== Overview ==
The Time of Troubles was a time period in Polynesian history which happened right after The Little Crisis. It marked the continued stagnation of the Republic of Polynesia (RoP) which started after the end of the AFAB Riots. The Time of Troubles saw a growth in extremism, separatism, high corruption and crime, political polarization, and a continued decay in government institutions. Starting from the moment that the Circhester Imperium declared its independence from the RoP and concluded with the failure of the February Revolution it was he longest-spanning era in history up to this point.
This Era was succeeded by the: The Third Polynesian Golden Era
This Era was preceded by the: Little Crisis
