Fourth Republic of Bardonia

The Fourth Republic of Bardonia, also known as the Fourth Republic or simply Bardonia, was a nation in Syltör. It was the seventh government of the nation of Bardonia. After the Treaty of New Dorasterrock brought the Allium-Coalition War to a close, the Third Coalition installed a new government headed by a Yazov, a Viodoxan national, alongside a collection of individuals from the lower government of the Third Empire. The Fourth Republic is seen as a low point in Bardonian history, where the nation went through many attempted unions and government concepts in an effort to recover the nation as fast as possible.
==Etymology==
Bardonia is named after the pre-existing discord server of its founder members, The First Republic of Bardonia, which is called "Dank Bard". The community largely theorized that the name of Bardonia was actually inspired by a hamlet in the real-world United States, that uses the same name, located in the State of New York within the city of Clarkstown in Rockland County, which is the same state that BackToTheHub is confirmed to have admitted in a Discord conversation. However, this may of just have been a coincidence, as this has been denied by Unic0rnb0i.
In Aurlûnoren, it is called "Orchendor", which literally means Dandelion Land.
== History ==
=== Governmental reform ===
With the dissolution of the Third Bardonian Empire, the Third Rathnir Coalition wished to withdraw from Bardonia as soon as possible, rather than to hold out and reconstruct Bardonia by themselves, especially as they all had different goals for the nation. In order to fix the issue as soon as possible, they meshed together a collection of Viodoxan & Bardonian officials into a new government and proclaimed the Fourth Republic of Bardonia, withdrawing the same day & the Coalition going defunct and later dissolving. The withdrawal was extremely messy and left much to be desired, and the new government was not left with much to work with. A mere week into the Fourth Republic's existence, the democratic system would be abolished. As it became apparent that the Senatorial Government could not work the senators decided to hold a vote. With a 5-1 Vote the Senate had decided to give all of their power to Yazov (The Chancellor). 
After the election all senators had resigned from their Positions except for Andrew, Ceibi, and Crinky. The senator role would be changed back into the Grand Council role again, and the nation would run similar to the The Third Empire although there were changes. The Chancellor would hold sole power over the Government with an Empress as the figurehead of the state.
=== Great Northern Confederacy ===
Shortly after democracy was abolished, the Fourth Republic would enter a loose union with the Fourth Tsardom of Ryzan, for mutual cooperation & assistance. The GNC was turbulent from the very start, with the conflicting government systems of the Fourth Tsardom & Fourth Republic, undergoing frequent name changes & diplomatic incidents with foreign countries. This all culminated with the Fourth Republic making a deal with Yimmu-Audal that would have allowed them to divide Ryzan between each other. This was uncovered by the Ryzani government, which subsequently confronted the Bardonian government on the matter and got Yimmu-Audal & Barbossa to end hostilities towards the GNC. The damage had already been done, however, and shortly afterwards it would dissolve due to ineffectiveness. Because of this ineffectiveness Yazov (The Chancellor) and the Grand Council decided to join the Soleàn Irastre de et Escharii as a Grand Duchy with Yazov as the Duke.

The government of the Fourth Republic of Bardonia initially acted as a senatorial republic, however, following the abolition of the Senate, the government was ran much more like the Third Empire, with an Empress, Chancellor, a Grand Council comprised of 3 members & an extra official slot, as the Treaty of New Dorasterrock barred any relatives of Uni from entering the Bardonian government.
