Classical Republics

The Classical Republic of Discord was a mock government which existed from January 21st 2018 to May 25th 2019, following directly after the Pre-Classical Republic beginning at a unknown date, unknown if it really existed. The Classical Republic of Discord was founded as a Executive Republic, with strong emphasis on the Ownership and Presidency, but slowly evolved into a bastion of democracy and republican ideals, and was the Dominant force in the Community for a long period known as the Pax Discordia, which lasted from January 1st, 2019, to the fall of the Fourth Republic.
Classical Discordia continued to be a force in the community until it's eventual downfall and collapse, with many influential and memorable members in the community originating from or contributing in Discordia. The end of the old Discordian Republic lead to the rise of many successor and ROD-style mock governments, and it left a impact which would for far longer.
Discordia continued beyond the Classical Republics, until it's eventual reform into the stable and growing 15th Republic.
==The First Republic==
The First Republic of Discord was founded on January 21st 2018 by the Statesman Romulus, and stagnated until the April of 2018, when it's rapid expansion brought it into the community. The ROD quickly became a force in the community, with members such as Mcl5, Logan, and Botonian rising in influence during this time, in ROD or abroad. The First Republic co-existed with Governments such as the Amullian Empire, Trinity's Empire, and East Amullia.
Following this period of rapid growth was attempts at reform and liberalization by revolutionary members at the time, such as Botonian. Members of the First Republic organized into multiple rebellions against Romulus' ownership, but all were crushed by the Security Forces of the late Republic. These rebellions often took the name of the "Democratic Empire of Discord," and were poorly lead and allegedly supported by Trinity.
However, growing tensions with Trinity's Empire could not be ignored. With the support of Trinity Sympathizers such as Botonian, the First Sith-ROD conflicts lead to a rivalry which would only deepen in the early Republic. The First-ROD Trinity conflict took place, and lead to the end of the First Republic in the Republic's First Nuke.
==The Inter-Republic Period==
The Inter-Republic Period was a period of time without a strong central ROD-style government, with the State of Discordia (a ownership dictatorship) supplanting the functions of the ROD until the formation of the Second Republic. Several nukes were said to have happened during this time, but none of these reports have been confirmed. This is a dark period of ROD history, with little being known of it. However, during this period, problems in Amullia exacerbated and lead to the slow downfall of the superpower, while Trinity's Empire isolated themselves further from Micronational activities. It is believed that modern Osmania may have risen during this time, as well as WTP's Downfall.
==The Second Republic==
Following this period of internal strife and general disorganization in the community, the Second Republic formed as the Amullian Empire continued to wane. Figures such as Logan rose to higher prominence during this time, as Amullian and Mcl5 continued to desperately save the Amullian Empire from it's problems. Discontent with the lack of reform in Amullia, constant rebellions threatened the existence of Amullia into the Second Republic Period, and with a problem of mass discontent in Amullia, as well as discontent with Romulus' Trinity-Backed Rule in ROD, a rebellion overtook and overthrew Romulus' ownership, giving way for the Third Republic and the path to democracy. After the fall of the Second Republic, a exodus of Amullian members were introduced to the Republic.
==The Third Republic==
With Romulus' deposition, further democratic reforms came to ROD, satisfying many former Amullian Members and ROD members who came over to the New Republic. However, the Third Republic can be considered a "rebirth" for the Republic of Discord, with the new members far dwarfing the OG community and leading to a new Guard taking over the Republic.
The tradition of the President-Owner was done away with in the Third Republic, and a firm tradition that no owner shall ever sit as head of state was created and respected until Porsche's Ownership.
The Third Republic was one of internal strife and reform, with several reforms turning ROD into a more democratic Republic, with Logan being respected as a democratic and unbiased owner. During this time, the three Districts were given the names of Doulant, Balion, and Avalon, with every republic afterwards retaining these names with few execptions.
The Third Republic also saw the rise of Legislative and Judicial significance, and the definition of Executive Powers, as the Executive was significantly weakened without the additional backing of the Ownership.
The early Third Republic was dominated by a two/three party system, with the UDP, Federalists, and Right-Wingers dominating ROD Politics. Due to the nature of the Right-Winger's party name, we cannot state it on the wikia. However, with the rise and subsequent purge of the so-called Right-Wingers, the UDP (later renamed to the UDEP) became the dominant party for the majority of the Third Republic. The First President of the Third ROD, Arminius, was deposed, leading to the election of the Second President, Jiki Scott, which was later revealed to be a Trinity Agent. Jiki Scott's election leads the Republic into another conflict with Trinity, with the National Guard being formed to counter Trinity. The Conflict lead to Jiki Scott being exposed, and the Vice President BigDealRahil being inaugurated as the Third President following Jiki Scott's flight from the Capital.
The Third Republic ended as First, with Trinity nuking the server and getting engaged in further conflict with Amullia, still the dominant power in the micronational community, leading to a large-scale war in which ROD participated and failed to complete.
==The Fourth Republic==
Yet, sometimes the death of something great can lead to something greater. With the fall of the Third Republic came further reforms, making ROD the first major truly-democratic nation in the Community. With Trinity's Empire falling back into isolation following the Amullian Wars, the road was paved for ROD to become a greater power than any other mock government in the community. It is during this time when Osmania began falling into chaos and civil war, with the stable regimes which preceded the Fourth Republic beginning to fall apart. ROD began it's rise, and Cosmical's nuke did little to slow it. Now as a fully fledged democracy, ROD faced the future.
The White Presidency laid the groundwork for the Republic, but a one-party state is no Republic. The Rise of the Discordian First Party, a big tent party lead to mass defections from the UDEP and it's eventual downfall, and the election of President Bush (now known as jqof) solidified the new status-quo in Discordia. Yet not all was quiet on the Western Front, and the National Guard crisis threatened to tear jqof's Presidency apart. With the attempted disbandment of the National Guard and the attempted dismissal of it's leader, Mcl5, the National Guard mutinied against it's lawful Commander in Chief, and proclaimed Mcl5 as Supreme Commander of all Military forces. Following this and further incidents threatening to tear jqof apart from the DFP, he resigned and President Tojo took his place - he later became a Justice. President Tojo and Congress now had to face a increasingly powerful National Guard and Military Apparatus, with the security forces of the Republic no longer answering to lawful authorities. Tojo's Presidency saw further delegation of powers to the National Guard, with Mcl5 being appointed as the powerful "Chief of Staff," with authority to be President in all but name. Yet one night in December, the crisis came to a head with corrupt courts enraging the general populace, and driving the National Guard to full mutiny. Captain of the Guard Mcl5 gave the order to have all Justice's arrested, and any opponents of the Guard's new regime deposed and arrested. The National Guard proceeded to join the riots in the Capital against the Supreme Court, and called for the heads of many competent Justices, leading to the Chief Justice Windu fleeing the Republic. The National Guard began a campaign of terror which lasted more than a day, and came to a head with the so-called "National Guard Mutiny," where Marshal Law was declared and the NG was empowered to stop the riots, which only increased their authority. Eventually, with the support of the woensership, and with insistence from the courts, Mcl5 was exiled from the Republic and National Guard forces were defeated by Pro-Republic Loyalists within the Guard, and with the assistance of the Administration and Civilian Militias. The National Guard was then swiftly disbanded and abolished, leading to a second round of riots carried out by Executive Commander Delta, and the formation of the Pro-NG Amullian Party. The NotMyCongress movement was formed underground by many former NG members, exiled from the Republic, to influence ROD's Politics in the future, leading up to the Suda-Romulus election. The Suda-Romulus election turned out to be the second most decisive election to date, with the situation progressing to a point where Mcl5 was called back with his Guardsmen to "out-riot" the rioters. With Mcl5 returning to the Republic, his influence lead to the election of none other than Romulus as President, greatly alienating many so-called "Constitutionalists" within the Republic. With the rapid downfall of the UDEP, defections were common to the Colenian Party, and a merger with the NUP formed the Colenian Union Party (CUP), which would begin to dominate ROD politics from then onwards, backing Romulus and changing ROD into a executive-central state. In response, anti-NG sympathizers, anti-colenians, and other individuals all entered into a alliance, the Constitution Party, to defend against the so-called Colenian Party, filled with newcomers from the server Colenia and ex-members of the National Guard. Romulus was eventually removed from office for corruption, but the spark had been set, and the influence of the CUP would only grow. With the defection of Florez to the CUP, 2019 came to a close as the lines were drawn, and the congressional elections of January approached.
The Congressional Elections of January saw the election of the first CUP Congressmen, and then a CUP Majority after that. Balion was quickly transformed by riots and shifting demographics, turning it from a solid UDEP stronghold to the headquarters of the CUP, with Doulant and Balion both becoming strong CUP states, and with Avalon being the only state leaning constitutionalist. The Populist and reformist actions of the CUP attracted many to it's banners, leading to it becoming the single largest party in ROD by far. Soon after, a supermajority in Congress by the CUP, and then a fully controlled Congress by the CUP lead to a no-opposition republic. But by then, the Right Wingers had abandoned the constitutionalists cause and formed the DNP, a successor to the DFP, and just as it had wrecked havoc on the UDEP State, the DNP rose to counter the CUP. Yet this was not before Mcl5 was appointed President by Congress, and lead the Republic as President-Speaker, heads of both the Legislature and Executive Branch. After the creation of the bi-cameral congress, however, the DFP had grown enough to take the unprepared CUP by surprise and storm, causing mass defections to the DFP and a brief period of control by the DFP. Yet the socialists were not satisfied, and the new SDP tore at the heels of the DFP, leading to reform and resurgence within the CUP. The NAP was rebranded and renamed into the NAP, and became much more accepting of non-colenians. With the resurgence of the NAP and threat by the SDP, the DFP and NAP entered into a Grand Coalition to counter the SDP, leading to the NAP truly returning to the forefront of ROD politics, and a golden age of the NAP. Many new ROD members were introduced into the ROD by the NAP, including Adam Taurus, which entered the House as a first-term ROD House Member.
With the slow fall and integration of the DFP into the now leaning right NAP, Sophie grew in relevance in what was perhaps the biggest mistake of Mcl5's entire ROD Career. ROD continued on, with Presidents such as Viame, Cicero, and Donovan marking the Golden Age of the Republic of Discord, and it's true Pax Discordia. Although there were some bumps along the way, the era became known as the Pax Discordia, as unparalleled democracy and stability lead to the ROD being able to influence the community around it, colonizing servers such as the Cook Islands, and leading to stagnation and complacency.
The ROD continued on, with parties such as TFS rising and the SDP reforming to counter the NAP. Mcl5's failed election bid for President lead to the slow downfall of the NAP, with Edi Rama defeating him in a landslide election due to the abandonment of old tactics. Attempts at reforming the NAP failed, although much of the SDP was still controlled by the so-called "Deep State," with many triumvirates and alliances maintaining NAP control in some way over the Republic.
Yet Sophie continued to grow in influence in the Republic, as Mcl5 was demoted in the administration and increasingly sidelined. The Peak of NAP control was gone, and Sophie and Rin continued their bid to seize control of the ROD.
Near the end of the Republic, Logan became known as a tyrannical and inactive owner, and by the Rommel presidency, Rin had been expelled, leaving Sophie alone to unleash chaos on the Republic. When many were asleep, Sophie and Rin preformed their greatest crime against the Republic, and nuked the Fourth Republic, ending the Pax Discordia, and ending the glory days of the Republic. ROD's 1-4 are thereby known as the "Classical Republics."
