Operation Albion

Operation Albion is an infamous civil war that led to the establishment of The Second Monarchy and the Fall of The Second Republic. It was spearheaded by Dr_Kookoo and his associates. Through the combined efforts of Eton Governor Ethan, Greater Tempora Governor Arno, and Soulth Governor Fran es, the coup effort was able to invade much of the republic. With Miosma, Montana, and Libertalia remaining neutral for much of the war, the republic was too weak to defend itself. The Republic eventually surrendered and met with The Imperial High Command at the Ohianta conference where they drafted a new constitution and The Adorian Empire was formally established.
== Chronology ==
=== Planning ===
The name Albion is derived from The British Empire, an alternative name used to refer to The British Isles. The coup intended to turn an island into an empire, adoria. This name was picked. On March 13th 2020, The coup formally met to start their assault on the republic. A very sophisticated effort was made with a propaganda department, war room, and royal security forces all established and operated in secret. The Spearheader of this operation was Dr_Kookoo who at this point was not the most well-known politician previously he had created The Legislative process (LRA) used by The Republic's parliament. They recruited several monarchists and attempted to get all governors on their side. The Governors of Soulth, Eton, and Greater Tempora became members. 
=== Day 0 ===
24 hours before Civil War started large rumours of fighting began. It became public that Dr_Kookoo intended to crown himself Emperor and establish a monarchy this created much outrage. It also became leaked that Defence Minister JimmyMahfety and many other politicians had sworn loyalty to The Emperor.
=== Day 1 ===
On March 17th 2020, with ideological tensions increasing the Provinces of Eton, Soulth, and Tempora mobilized their National Guards. Ashton also mobilized but unlike the others for the republic and not the empire. Eton invaded Baraston and in just a little under an hour they take half of Baraston. Demoralized, Baraston only managed to get a third of their National Guard mobilized. Ador also mobilized, a Republican province. The Adorian Armed Forces were currently unavailable as they were doing training exercises for Operation Sandcreek. The Revolutionary Army which was a militia operated by Former President NineTails fought with the republic and attempted to take Safin, Eton but failed. The Monarchists took The Notsha district of Ashton which is home to the historic location of the royal adorian estate. Large strikes broke out across The Monarchist-held territory, there was also striking in Libertalia. Miosma, Montana, and Libertalia all remained neutral this allowed them to go unscathed but weakened The Republicans' war effort. The Monarchists attempted to invade Northern Ashton but failed and The Republicans started reinforcing Southern Ashton.
With a majority of the nation either under monarchist or neutral control The Republic which had survived many civil wars was at what many thought the end of its life. It found itself unable to exert control in less than a third of the island and with The armed forces overseas The nation rested with an uncertain future.
=== Day 2 ===
Prime Minister Ponderix appointed Duje as the new Minister of Defence replacing Jesus Rommel. Deputy Prime Minister Ruben suggested strapping nuclear devices to unmanned drones in order to combat the Monarchists. Defence Minister Duje appointed Matthew V as Chief of The Navy replacing Hussar. With a weak and new leadership, the Republicans lacked good tactics and there was also confusion on who led the Armies. President Reeves claimed that he did as he was Commander in Chief while others thought It was Chief of The Army alexauditoreda. 
The republicans started digging in at Northern Ashton. Ador which remained in firm republican hands mobilized 42,298 men. The Republican Government and Imperial High Command gathered at the Imithia Conference to discuss the fate of Adoria's nukes. The National Revival also joined in with 43,248 men mobilized. On March 18th, The Adorian Republic recognized the provinces of Eton, Tempora, and Soulth as The Adorian Empire as a sovereign state. This being said, that meant that the Empire was illegally occupying Baraston and parts of Ashton. With this new recognition, The Emperor attempted a radio address though it failed to inspire the people shortly afterward The Empire launched a blitzkrieg which expanded their territory and split Ashton in three and The Republic as a whole in two. Ashton Governor Sheev ordered Ashton's infrastructure to be destroyed. 
However, Ador acquired 600k of equipment and 25% of the army was stationed in Ador. Albanian Supremacy group also offered shelter to all displaced peoples. The republicans push in and reclaimed a tad of territory. Large protests started breaking out in favor of Republican control. The Republicans pushed further and reunified the republic splitting The Empire in two. 75% of the available army went through neutral Miosma and positioned themselves on the Eton border. The republicans had regained half of Notsha, Ashton but the Empire now controlled Half of Pancaro and a bit of Horad.
=== Day 3 ===
In preparations for the third day of fighting Ador expelled members of Red Cross Adoria, since they doubled as a militia that was loyal to The Emperor. Libertalia also expelled militias that weren't loyal to the Governor. During his pilgrimage, Kailick found the dead corpse of Lobster and used Albanian witchcraft to resurect him. Libertalia mobilized 8,056 people to their border with the intention of joining in as their own faction, half of which were men provided by a private militia under the command of OhJunge, whilst the other half were national guard loyal to Linus Tech Tips. Miosma which could change the course of the war if it picked a side, declared itself independent until the civil war was over as its neutrality was not respected. Following mass recruitment campaigns, the National Revival managed to recruit 14.5k, at this point they were still representing their own faction and side.
The National Revival mobilized another ship, now with a total of 5 ships on active duty. The Republicans invade Imperial Pancaro but fail. The Republic running low on food received some from South Africa though it took a while to arrive. In The second wave, The imperial controlled parts of Pancaro and Horad The Pancaro Pocket were taken back by the Republicans. With this reclaimed territory, 1,988 trucks were found but the republic lacked the fuel to use them. Additional food from The South Africans was used to feed the 20,000 prisoners that were captured throughout the war. The National Revival which was the third side of this war used their status to distribute food rations to both sides however they soon ran out of food. Spaceman Boris, The Secretary of Trade at the time temporarily banned exports from Adoria as the nation was facing a severe food shortage. Miosma announced that they would negotiate with both sides to see which would be best in Miosma's best interests. Confederação Nacional do Trabalho and Federação Anarquista Libertalia began mobilizing this gave The Libertalia war effort some attention. The Monarchist Forces captured the city of Kusti. With rumours of a rebellion in the Adorian Empire, the monarchists transported former pretender monarch Sealand to an undisclosed location, he had been captured since Day 1 of the civil war. As they had believed The Monarchists against Kookoo attempted to take back Greater Tempora however they failed and Greater Tempora stayed in firm Imperial hands. This event would later be dramatized as the Battle of Ashenwood. With Miosma's Governor, Ruben taking a diplomatic visit to Somalia, The Republic remained in low morale.
Out of respect for Miosma's neutrality, The Empire recognized Miosma as an independent nation and claimed that they would defend them if the republicans attacked Miosma. Tensions with The National Revival and The Anarchists increased after the NR were banned from Libertalia. The Republicans managed to make new gains taking a quarter of Safin which up this point had remained in firm Imperial Eton control. They also took back Kusti. With 25k new prisoners, the republic sent them into farming labor to help solve the food crisis.
The National Revival officially made some action and attacked an imperial farm in eton and a Republican Military base in Ashton. These attacks did not go over well with the Monarchists and the Empire seized assets and property owned by Hussar many individuals and organizations condemned the NR.
A Revolt broke out in Miosma and 60% of the province sided with The Monarchists. However Solvent and Southeast Miosma in their weakened position sided with The Republicans.
=== Day 4 ===
On March 20th 2020, with the populace growing tired of war, Republicans and Monarchists The Imithia Conference and agreed on a ceasefire. The National Revival also complied with this ceasefire despite being absent at the conference. At this point the vigor of the war and pace of the war slowed down and combat ended officially on this day.
With Operation Sandcreek finally over The Adorian Navy Returned to Adoria and most of it sided with the republicans while some ships defected over to the Monarchists. After much discussion the province of Libertalia joined the republicans this did not sit well with a portion of the province and a third of it revolted and remained neutral.
On this day The Military Intelligence Agency under the direction of The Imperial High Command launched a mass-propaganda effort spreading lies of a nuclear detonation in Solvent. Miosma which had acquired two nuclear devices from North Korea in Mid-February did indeed have intentions of using them however Governor Ruben never detonated them. The populace was deceived into thinking that 340k casualties had occurred, 35k of which were republican forces. This however lead to rumours of ammo and bottlecaps becoming the new currency of Adoria and Ruben became condemned and The Diplomatic Committee ordered Somalia to arrest Ruben.
The Adorian Empire and National Revival formally made a treaty in which Hussar and The NR were formally returned any assets or property that were taken during the war and The NR would accept a Monarchist Victory. These negotiations were made under The New NR General, Lobster as Hussar had stepped down. With the myth of The Solvent nuking, morale was at its lowest in the republic. On March 20th, Ashton surrendered. They released their conscripts and withdrew their troops from the battlefields. Adorian Revolutionary Army General Ninetails was assassinated this weakened The Republicans' leadership as they already lacked good generals. The Adorian Republican Group surrendered further weakening the Republicans' War Effort. Army Chief alexauditoreda stated that he would be willing to live under Imperial rule. As it becomes clear that Nato would not be coming to help them the republic with such low morale officially changed its course of action from suppressing the monarchists to negotiating their surrender. With the coronavirus outbreak still ongoing the death toll hit 600,000. Dr_Kookoo stated his intentions to make Port Royale the new capitol of the empire.
Fighting had officially come to an end and negotiations began to discuss the transfer of power from The Republic to The Empire. Empire never conquered Libertalia, Montana, Ador, and parts of Miosma and these locations were all that remained of The Republican Government after the fighting had ended. Ashton also attempted to call itself Neutral after its surrender but as it was under Monarchist control these appeals lead to nothing, however Republican Sheev was allowed to continue his Governorship.
== Reconstruction ==
Following four days of combat the Imperial Government, the Republican Government, and a handful of Neutral Arbiters met in The Famous Ohianta Conference where they drafted a new constitution that constitutionalized the emperor and monarchy.
=== Ohianta Conference ===
On March 21st 2020, renowned officials gathered to draft a new Monarchist constitution. They voted on different matters and subjects to include in the new constitution, representatives of the monarchy, republic and neutral arbiters were all allowed to vote. Republicans attempted to ban free speech which failed. It was decided that The Emperor would be the head of state. The premiership would be renamed to the Chancellory. There would also be an Emergency Powers clause where dukes would gain control of a province during national emergencies. Parliament was also divided into two chambers. Parliament would be renamed to The Popular Assembly and would have 85 seats decided by elections, while the upper chamber would be The Noble Assembly for all 9 Dukes and 6 barons. 3 of these barons would be appointed by The Chancellor while the other 3 by the Emperor. The Anarchists attempted to abolish Libertalia's governorship but failed. Negotiations started to turn toxic but eventually, The proposed Imperial Constitution was put to a 24-hour vote and on March 25th The Imperial Constitution was officially adopted by a 13-12 vote. The Emperor was coronated immediately.
===Implementation===
As The Ohianta conference still raged on The Dukes were officially sworn in on March 23rd 2020. The Emperor's Coronation took place on March 25th the same day that the imperial constitution was adopted. Emperor Kookoo immediately called for snap elections but due to election fraud the 20th election was reheld 6 days later on the 31st. Many began to realize just how powerful the monarchy was and did not like it. On April 2nd 2020, the First Imperial Diet convened.
== Factions ==
The Two main sides of the war were The Republicans and Monarchists. However there were The Anarchists which formed their own minor faction. There were also those that avoided the destruction of infrastructure by choosing to remain neutral. National Revival with their resources managed to make their own small war effort.

=== Operation Sand Creek ===
https://docs.google.com/document/d/15XGtjKzO3t-B24xLxOdxok_Amh9SjKnLD8f4h2G4dk0/edit?usp=sharing
The name Sand Creek is derived from The Sand Creek massacre in which The United States Army waited until the Cheyenne warriors had gone hunting before they attacked and burned down native american settlements. Drafted By Dr_Kookoo the operation details the armed forces leaving on ships to approximately 1.2 kilometers from Adoria. Once they reach the locations they would cut off any communications to simulate a blackout and would do training exercises. They had 3 weeks of supplies. Proposed to Parliament on March 15th 2020, the bill gained heavy support from both the left and right with 87.7% of voting MPs voting in favor with no abstentions. During the voting, it was said that the bill was made to also act as a quarantine to prevent the armed forces from catching the coronavirus. It was passed as Law 709.
After Operation Albion was initiated it became clear that it was a distraction to weaken any opposition to the Monarchist Forces. Though the Armed Forces returned on March 19th 2020 the Monarchists had already gained a solid landholding of the nation by that point.
