Second Ryzani Republic

The Second Ryzani Republic was declared on June 15, 2021 following the passing of a new constitution which removed the Toss family from all seats, transforming the country into a democratic state. It was the 11th government of the Ryzani States. Regardless of the government change, combined with the Ryzani-Carthyan Republic, the First Ryzani Republic, and the Third Tsardom of Ryzan, it would remain the most stable government in Ryzan's history, until it's final moments on June 29, 2021, in which it saw itself capitulate and surrender to the Empire of Bardonia after the Second Bardonian-Ryzani War, thus, ending over nine months of independence for the entire nation. They would become apart of Bardonia, with Ryzan being divided into two provinces, the Fiterèi Province and Ostrehèmme Province. Deutzan and Nebskoslavia would declare independence from Ryzan on it's final hours, but were not recognized by anyone.

=== Zefirov Era ===
Although the first part of President Zefirov's term took place in the Tsardom of Ryzan, the Republic was essentially reinstated as the Republic of Ryzan on June 15th, 2021. On the same day, the long-time Toss family monarchy finally came to an end. As a result of this, relations with the rest of the world began to deteriorate. On June 24th, Chancellor Uni of Bardonia arrived in Volkoregrod, and after being redirected to Carthya by JurassicParkRex, announced to FallenAasimar that Bardonia would invade Ryzan to follow the 'Path of Prosperity'. After the War of Bardonian Aggression or 'The Brother's War' as it is called in Bardonia, President Zefirov went missing on June 29th, leaving Vice President Mocoslav Kovalsky as the leader of the people. He left the following statement:
To whoever should find this letter,
My time here is done for now. I wished to give back to this country for what it had given me. Now I cannot give anything anymore. I used to be a traveler, born somewhere on Haven's frontier. After years on my feet, I reached Syltor... and arriving at the gates of Volkoregrod, was given an opportunity to take the long rest I needed. In Ryzan, I found friends, family, and a true home. It is high praise from a nomad to call something "home." It is not necessarily a term people of vagrant lifestyles use very often, for obvious reasons. So, let it speak for how much Ryzan meant (and still does) mean to me. To bend my knee was the best way to spare the innocent from the fires of war. I regret nothing except that I had to make that choice, and that I was not able to lead Ryzan to victory. I feel that I have failed you all, and that I have failed this nation. So whether I fall on my own blade or waste away my years searching for form and land once again, I know that I must find some way to atone.
Nikolai Zefirov
=== Bardonian-Ryzani War ===
On the 25th June 2021, Bardonian and fellow Allium forces (Escharia, Huitca, Skjoldbrodir, The Isles) invaded Ryzan via boat and by land through Aurlunor, arriving in Tossograd after 35 minutes of waiting. The initial protection force was easily overrun, requesting for backup from Task Force Volkoregrod and Task Force Carthya. Despite Bardonia remaining silent about any strategy before the battle, Ryzan suspected that they would try to get 1 kill and then leave. This was the initial plan, however after Ryzan got 2 kills, Allium forces decided to engage in a gory battle. The Ryzani forces were wiped out by the end of the battle, with many people raising the white flag and spectating the end of the battle as Allium forces cleared up and killed survivors.
=== The End of Ryzani Sovereignty ===
After the battle of Tossograd, President Zefirov sued for peace, wishing for no more Ryzanis to be sacrificed in what was seen as a pointless war. On June 26th, Zefirov began peace talks with Bardonia. Soon after, Ryzani sovereignty was brought to an end once again.
== Government ==
The highest executive power was vested in the President, who was jointly elected to a 1 month term with their appointed Vice President.
The President would often delegate most executive action to the Ministries, which currently include the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Public Works, the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Trade & Commerce, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Each Ministry had a Minister to run it and oversee its constituent departments. For example, the Ministry of Public Works included the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Fortification.
Legislative power was held by the Duma, whose election coincided with the President's. Instead of directly electing representatives, citizens would vote for parties, and all parties which received at least three votes would receive votes in the Duma equal to the number of votes they received in the national elections. The parties would then give their votes to delegates, typically loyal members of the party, who would then officially cast them when decisions were being made.
The lands of the Republic were divided into seven Freeholds, each run by a non-elected Freehold leader. The Second Republic made Freehold leaders solely local, running their Freeholds within the bounds of the Constitution, although many retained advisory positions in the central government.
Each settlement has a Mayor to manage local affairs like civil disputes and city development. Although Mayors are the ranking officials in the town, Freehold leaders still have a say in town politics, and things like inter-city infrastructure, defenses, and law enforcement were handled at least in part by the federal government.
