First Gexan Government Crisis

Attack on the View Apartments

The **First Gexan Government Crisis** is a series of major events that occurred on the SexMP within the Republic of Gex.

## Events

### Alice's Filibuster

On June 15, 2021, Jade attempted to pass a bill granting rights to furries and to prevent the government from discriminating against furries. Alice, who opposed furry rights, proceeded to filibuster against the bill, causing tension within the Gex Council and the Technocratic Party itself.

### Attempted Impeachment

Following the filibuster, Alice had made some cryptic statements to Alt and Jade, leading them to become paranoid. Aleph introduced articles of impeachment against Alice on June 21, 2021, citing abuse of power and high crimes. Most Technocrats saw the impeachment as a power grab by the Socialist Party. The impeachment attempts later fell apart once Nick had leaked that Jade only wanted to impeach Alice to take and use the land in Gravel Post for herself. Luke who made the allegations public, accused Jade of her hypocrisy, since she had previously stated that his administration was corrupt. The articles of impeachment were later revoked by Aleph on July 6, 2021.

### Founding of Democrats 69

Throughout the impeachment proceedings, Luke had actively defended Alice since he believed impeachment against her was unfair. This led to Alt and Jade leaving the Technocratic Party to form Democrats 69, a centrist party with a clear stance on anti-authoritarianism.

### Anti-Authoritarian Protests and Capitol Bombing

On June 21, 2021, the Democratic Bloc held a protest outside of the Capitol Building to protest against Luke's policy. Some time during the protest, the Capitol building was blown up. Investigations were made against those who participated in the protest, along with those in the bloc who had a previous history of violence. ON June 27, 2021 the investigations came out as inconclusive.

### View Apartments Bombing

The Democratic Bloc had recruited Nick, who to them was a Technocrat that hated Luke's ideals, into their bloc. Unbeknownst to them, Nick was working as a spy for the Technocratic party, and told the bloc that he didn't switch parties because he would lose his seat in heavily Technocratic Kamaro. After the bloc asked nick to vote yes on the impeachment of Alice, Luke decided to make threats against Nick's properties to prevent him from voting yes. Nick was aware of the threats, and only ordered them so he had a reason to vote no. On June 23, 2021, the View Apartments in Spawn were blown up, with an unsigned book being left in a minecart chest in front of the building saying that more information would be delivered at Cox Tower. The next day, a note was discovered at Cox Tower, stating that Nick needed to vote "no" or else Cox Tower would be destroyed.

### New Alaskan Independence Movement

As Alt began to control more and more of New Alaska, Luke began to meddle in New Alaska's politics and city planning, believing that Alt's plans were bad. This began to annoy Aleph and other New Alaskans, who sought independence from the Republic of Gex. In the situation of New Alaskan independence, Luke built tunnels and rails underneath New Alaska to make attacks easier if invasion was necessary. On July 15, 2021 all issues had been resolved for the time being.

### Bounty on Alt

On August 4, 2021, Luke issued a bounty against Alt after it was uncovered that she had made a threat to Nick to vote a certain way on a council bill. This lead Alt to run away from Gex, leading to her death, thus ending the crisis.

## Aftermath

The death of Alt lead to stability in the Gexan government. This lasted until the second government crisis that lead to the fall of the Gex Republic and the First Gexan War.
