Alteniqui Federation

== Formation ==
The Alteniqui Federation, also known as the Alteniquian Federation, Alteniquia, and others, was a revolutionary organization formed in late January to early February of 2023, with the lofty goal of expelling the Inhuman Horde or Hordien from Alteniquia. Over time it would mold into a more liberal, federalist focused organization to in the end overthrow the Audaladae, but its main goal was to populate and expand the County of Eldal-Adadi in which it was based. The Federation was made up of a triumvirate of Baronies, Viorikh, Sethyonia, and Eldal-Adadi.
== History ==
The Alteniqui Federation kicked into high gear when Woitiech, the former First Consul and avowed Socialist, stepped down from his post, and left the reigns of power to his Second Consul, Wilhelm VanderSchnieder, who was also Baron of Viorikh. He began to implement an ad hoc version of what would become known as Wilhelmine Liberalism.
Now, a brief discussion of what exactly Wilhelmine Liberalism is. Wilhelmine Liberalism is hard to define because of how fluid it can be, but for the most part it can be defined as Authoritarian-Democratic political practices, namely a near-dictatorial head of state, who uses their power sparingly, and has checks put on them by a reasonably powerful Legislature. with Moderate Socialist economic tendencies and Federalist principles. It has evolved somewhat over time, but it is still a sect of Liberalism held by some today as gospel.
Back to the History. Wilhelm established an Advisory Board and appointed many people to it to gain their loyalty, but also because they were skilled in that position, and the Legislature that his predecessor established, the Council, fell out of use. He held an election between a Voidshiba, and Void, who would go on to become King of Audal. While Wilhelm wanted Void to win due to him being very helpful in day-to-day administration, Voidshiba won, and proceeded to do nothing besides writing a declaration of independence when the time came. Despite being a revolutionary organization, the Federation had no army, and it was assumed that everyone in the nation would join the fight when it came. This was compounded by a lack of experience amongst the leadership, with them all having joined the server just one or two months prior. 
The Federation planned several uprisings, but eventually, the Mayor of Sethyonia, Davian, who had a large percent of the membership of the Federation, launched what could only be described as a coup. He overthrew the Republican government and formed a Monarchical Commonwealth. Most of the leadership of the Federation stayed in some kind of leadership position during the Commonwealth period, but many still active members of the Federation dislike Davian because of this.
There was an inexplicable plan tossed around to invade Haven and reform Uldarash. This plan of course went nowhere, because nobody wanted to leave Alteniquia, but after this, the Republican and Monarchical governments merged in a weird way. (Writer's note: This happened over a year ago, and I have a bad memory and still have contact with just three of the members of the Federation, and the discord server got deleted by me. So, that's why this might seem disjointed around here.) 
See, eventually, what would become known as the Carn war would occur, in which the Federation/Commonwealth would decide to finally rise up. Voidshiba of the Republican government wrote up a declaration of independence, but it was not to be. With the lack of a standing army, the Federation/Commonwealth would be crushed at the battle of Eldal-Adadi, and that's all she wrote.
== Lasting Impacts of the Alteniqui Federation ==
Today, only a few people still active on Abexilas took part in this organization, and few know of it, but it heavily influenced modern Audalad notions of what Democracy and Republicanism is, tying it up with Federalism and a Market Socialist economy. The later Audalad collapse state, the Federation of Lesser Alteniquia, also took much of the Alteniqui Federation's myth and used it for themselves.
