The Great Exodus

== Overview ==
The Great Exodus is the name for one of the largest demographic changes in the servers history, It concluded the Third Polynesian Golden Era which had seen a huge build up of the servers player base to heights not achieved since years prior and also included major technological developments that included cars and planes and brought in the Post-Exodus Era that was characterised by Government sponsored terror attacks similar to the Post-AFAB Era.
== Reasons for the Exodus ==
=== Fourth Civil War ===
The Fourth Civil war had dragged on as multiple factions carried the war on beyond its original purpose which lead to the war being regarded as practically untrackable with many innocent players being attacked and their localities burned, Noteably when the Republic of Polynesia lead a campaign against the town of Ronesia that had surrendered since the wars second day and scorched the nearby land preventing farming in the community which was already isolated from supplies due to it being off of the National road network and also bombing the towns shops and the large apartment block there.
Events like this coupled with the previously mentioned multiple new sides that had been able to drag the conflict on lead to major player burnout from the war as seen when Belgium who had acted as a nationally popular community figurehead since October 2021 with him being regarded as the servers most popular player announced to the community that he would be taking a break due to the constant griefing and combat on the server due to the war which barely had any sides. Belgs leave inspired others to take similar actions, Noteably the influential buisnessman and at the time Speaker of the Polynesian Parliament, Tom who would make suggestions about him leaving all the way until his actual leave at the height of the exodus.
=== Milan ===
Milan was the main reason for the Exodus taking place, Milan had slowly become regarded as in general a disliked member of the Polynesian community equivelant to many of the servers other hated figures such as Hazerd and Cpyro due to their claimed "Toxicity". Milan had however been able to make powerful friends on the server with them being backed by Sealand and Spaghettio and as the war grew into a position of Anti-Milan vs Pro-Milan due to the dissoloution of the different sides overtime these powerful friends gave Milan constant boosts of power as they consistently gained the upper hand in fighting.
However the actual reason many would give for them partaking in the Exodus, these players including Ex-PMs and Long time players Jeffrey and Jordin was that Milan had been given admin status by Sealand after Belgium leaving. Their status was apart of Sealands reorganisation of the admin team and did not go down well with the community at large, Especially when Milan abused their admin with Sealand refusing to stop them. Sealands actions were massively critised and hew as threatened with real life physical violence, 3 Days later Sealand would publicly apoligise and ban Milan from the server.
== Aftermath ==
=== Immediate Effects ===
Following the Great Exodus the conclusion of the Fourth Civil War was imminent and it would end following the now Milan controlled RoP destroying cities such as Wicklow in major revenge attacks after Castlebrugh and Anti-Milan resistance fighters would defeat Milan at a fight in the city of Malinshire, Milans personal hometown and temporarily occupied it. However despite the wars conclusion, Anti-Milan forces plotted a return to power and succeeded in the April Coup. After the coup was succesful Milan would stay in Malinshire and would seclude themselves until they would finally leave the server. Allen would be elected to power in the Republic of Polynesia and he went onto continue the Republic, Albiet a much smaller one.
=== Lasting Effects ===
Major players would never return to the server following the Great Exodus, Noteably the first Prime Minister of the Server Nethy alongside other previously prominent players on the server such as ex Prime Minister Phantombread.
