As the community grew, a republic was founded, which was later abolished after the empire was instated, followed by a republic after 2 coups.

## Etymology

The Nutribun Republic derives its name from Nutribun-chan, the primary goddess and revered figure of the Nutribun Cult, later known as the Church of Nutribun. The naming of the republic holds deep religious and cultural significance within the community.

## History

### First Nutribun Republic

The First Nutribun Republic is a short-lived republic founded by members of the Cult of Nutribun, the cult of nutribun was renamed to the Church of Nutribun with NancyWheelerGaming as its first pope. The republic was headed by its founder, Dwyane6000 as its first prime minister/dictator. All of the members of the senate were appointed and no elections were held. The republic would then be abolished after the empire was instated.

### Nutribun Empire

On July 20, 2022, 4:00 p.m., Dwyane6000 proclaimed himself emperor with the support with the congress. Seniritio would then be appointed as the new prime minister. The first senatorial election would happen soon after, with JollibeeGaming winning a seat. Seniritio would then be impeached due to a corruption scandal that NinoyAquinoGaming started, the cock fighting scandal. After which a new prime ministerial election was held, and ManuelQuezonGaming was announced as winner.

Although the days of the empire were a time of prosperity, there were corruptions and scandals everywhere. There were also a handful of martial laws, the most serious of which was the Genshin Impact Martial Law wherein Emperor Dwyane ordered the Nutribun National Guard to arrest Genshin Impact players and anime fans. One of those arrested was Prime Minister ManuelQuezonGaming, which caused riots in the capital leading to the abdication of the emperor.

### Second Nutribun Republic

A transitional government was established, and Dwyane still held the title of Emperor Emeritus and was still nominally the head of state. Later on, a scandal erupted between AccomplishedTale, a former moderator of the subreddit 2philippines4u, and Cheez3cakezzz, part of the yesssssdd cronies. This scandal involved doxxing, and it was then revealed that AccomplishedTale was a minor when they dated. Mad\_Makz, the top moderator of 2philippines4u, decided to launch a coup to remove Yesssssssssdd, Dwyane, Chees3cakezzz, and the rest of the yesssdd cronies from the government and organized a trial to hold them accountable.

After which, NinoyAquinoGaming was proclaimed as the Stadtholder, making him the head of state of the new Second Nutribun Republic. The Second Nutribun Republic had to deal with the aftermath of the TaleGate scandal, which involved doxxing and revealed that one of the moderators of the subreddit was a minor when they dated a member of the Nutribun community. This led to fears that supporters of Chees3cakezzz, who was part of the yesssssdd cronies, would raid the server. There was also paranoia about Chees3cakezzz spies, which was exacerbated by an argument between Mad\_Makz, the top moderator of 2philippines4u, and Nyebe\_Juan, a member of the Voice of Truth group. Mad\_Makz requested backup from the Nutribun National Guard, which revealed that Chees3cakezzz was also part of the Voice of Truth and causing drama within the group.

Additionally, the Second Nutribun Republic faced an immigration crisis when members of the Eagles of Steppe (EOS) group, known for larping as Putin supporters, joined after being invited by LeniRobredoGaming. The attitude of the EOS members caused a diplomatic crisis and led to the withdrawal of the EOS embassy from the republic. This situation escalated into an undeclared war, with a battle between NATOGaming and Pouty, and threats of invasion by EOS, leading to a complete breakdown of diplomatic ties.

JollibeeGaming became president of the Second Nutribun Republic, putting an end to ManuelQuezonGaming's four-term stint, but his administration was criticized for its ineffectiveness, particularly in enforcing law and order. Scandals also emerged, leading to JollibeeGaming's retirement, imprisonment, and eventual exile.

Following this period of political instability, NinoyAquinoGaming, with the help of the Nutribun National Guard and Dwyane, launched a coup by taking over Congress, effectively making himself a dictator. He suspended the constitution and instituted martial law, promising to fix the mistakes of the previous administration.

### Third Nutribun Republic

The Third Republic, led by NinoyAquinoGaming, experienced a period of growth and prosperity, which can be attributed to the Christmas season. However, the republic faced several challenges during this period. One of the most notable was the war with the r/Philippines discord server, which started after Mad\_Makz was kicked out for using the word "croquer," which was used as a protest symbol connected to a r/Philippines mod sexual scandal. The Nutribun Republic retaliated by invading the server and spamming croquer, leading to the members being permanently banned from the server.

The government attempted to democratize and lift martial law, appointing JollibeeGaming as Prime Minister. However, JollibeeGaming was exiled indefinitely after exposing private information related to the government, and AlaniumWarians replaced him as Prime Minister. As part of the democratization process, the government attempted to become a federal form of government, but the controversial election caused a lot of members to leave. This, in turn, caused the Great Depression, during which activity stagnated.

Meanwhile, JollibeeGaming, now known as Jackel or Jakol, was exiled to Asia\_irl due to his previous crimes. The higher-ups in the republic kept an eye on him, while Gabcis, formerly known as ManuelQuezonGaming, interacted with the locals. One person in particular, sojukirin, was appointed by Mad\_Makz as moderator of the 2philippines4u subreddit. Relations between Asia\_irl and the Nutribun Republic were not good, and Jakol wanted all Nutribun members to leave Asia\_irl after he found his new home there.

The war with Asia\_irl started after Gabcis was doxxed by members of that server. Gabcis responded that she had military intelligence, such as discord logs and tokens, about Asia\_irl. This caused panic in the server and led to an exodus from Asia\_irl to another server. Sojukirin infiltrated the Nutribun server and began sabotaging its infrastructure, ultimately leading to the destruction of 1/4 of the server, including the capital Nutriburg. Reconstruction efforts began, but the war reached a halt without a conclusion.
