Exilfrage (Event Chain)

the Exilfrage as icon

The Exilfrage was an event chain of multiple each intense, deep and also personal events that started on the 25 March. It is considered to be an intense and affecting event, that changed the Republic's path. The Exilfrage event chain consists out of multiple direct parts, as there are clearly visible phases. The Event is heavily connected to personal events and relations and due to that, much lore is not really lore or history in a roleplay-context.

## Beginning

When the Republic was founded, people already knew, that at some point in the history of the future, tension will break out from the construction of warships. Actually, the militaristic wing of the Republic is known for intense, fast and mass warship building, as its their hobby.

Since the Abstimmung A12 in the Senate of the Republic on the 18 March, doubts have spread in the Senate. More and more ships were built in the past, more ships than crew does exist. Vehicle Combat is a questioned part in Wars, its heavily restricted and will most likely not happen as much as PVP Combat. This led to a very one-sided discussion about that Ships are not necessary, on the 24 March between, and that the republic should focus itself more on the land combat, as the Republikanische Garde lacked equipment and training.

Before that, the Abstimmung A13, enacted on the 20. March, legitimated the construction of an airship, the first military airship of the Republic, with the goal to test the Airship mechanics. Its construction was heavily delayed as it was not necessary and there were more important things to do.

On the 25 March the Abstimmung A15 was opened, taking 2 days to be voted on. Its about the Construction of the E.S. Invisibel Hand, a Kampfzeppelin that is built for direct vehicle combat. It should use techniques that weren't tested yet and fight in a combat, which doctrines aren't formed yet. It was a very big test at all and the reason for its construction was mistrust on the allies of the Elarian Republic and boredom.

## Exilfrage I

### Date

25.Mar.2023 - 28.Mar.2023

Belligerents| * Elarian Republic (Pro Republic)
* Exilium

### Patient Null.

The Abstimmung was launched in the evening and already got 3 out of the 9 votes for yes. When on the next day, 2 more votes came in for yes, the absolute mass of yes was 5 of 9, making it over 50%. However, A15 was not yet over, as the vote only finishes, if all votes were hand in or if the time limit of 48 hours expires. The Time limit does lead to an enhancement of the political discussion and allows for Senators to also change their vote, before the vote gets finished. This happened in the past, that Senators have changed their vote, before time expired and overall that situation is mostly clear.

### Fahrlässigkeit und Unwissen.

The prelimary and not yet finished vote reached over 50%, reason enough for Kanzler Mat v. Falkenstein to begin the construction of the E.S. Invisibel Hand. This is indeed against the Constitution and strictly illegal. Technically the empress still got her Veto and Senators can still change their vote. After that negligent act was seen by the Empress, she immediatly informed the Kanzler about it, to pause the construction and wait until the vote was done. The Kanzler refused. Yet the vote was still having more than a day.

A heated discussion followed between the Empress with the anti-militarist people and the pro-ship people. The Sense of war, the legitimacy of the State, the reason behind shipbuilding.. all was questioned. Also because tension already existed due to an unsure compromise with the Mobilitätsgesetz.

### Wenn sich Meinungen ändern.

It is the late 26 March. The construction of the E.S. Invisibel Hand was finished, while the vote still had a whole day. The Mood is slowly questioning the ship. Stubborness is winning in the political discussion. But then, a statement goes in, as the Empress published to the nation, that Mat v. Falkenstein, Kanzler of the Republic, is commiting a crime against the constitution. 2 of the 9 Senators then changed their votes, loweing the approval of the A15 to overall 33%, the Ship that was built, without the senats's legitimation is now opposed by it. A straight Crime against the Republic's Democracy.

Chaos arised in the Republic, partisans hunted the Kanzler through the streets of Engenberg. It was difficult to notice stuff. Meanwhile, the Kanzler stole from the Zentrallager and Military reservoirs, stocked parts of the Republican Guard's armor stocks. Mat, by that, formed a "Militarist Wing" group idea, while the Empress and other Engenbergish people opposed this with a "Republican Wing" group idea. Those groups were never really formed, nor did a war really happen, but there were direct plans for a war on both sides.

The 26 March ends with the situation calmed down a bit. The ship is opposed, a war planned. Tension is still high. Herr Ole v. Arendsburg then indicted the Kanzler to the Generalgerichtshof - the General Court - for the breaking of the constitution.

Mat, the Kanzler, is a passionate shipbuilder. He likes it to build ships, as people like to build houses or castles. His hobby is heavily restricted due to the amount and size of ships. The Freedom-Paradox is limiting him - and it always will be limited if he lives in a society. His personal interest is to build unlimited amounts of ships and live in total freedom. Out of that fully personal and gameplay-wise reasons he decided to not make a civil war, instead he left to make Exilium, his own town, not part of the Republic. He left the republic, resigned as Kanzler and got the E.S. Verfassungsschutz *- ironic -* and the Ship Invisibel Hand with him. He went into exile, founding the "Exilists" wing in Exilium.

The Empress was outraged by that. In her eyes, it is an unnecessary act. The Elarian Republic is a place where all the Elarians, that are all knowing each other online, are having a place to spend time together and have fun in a good friendship. Elaris is the Friendship Nation if you want to say so. Mat's act to leave is causing a split. It is possible that not only the roleplay ties, but the actual friendship breaks due to that. Heavy insults flew around, most of them by the raged Empress.

That all friends are together in the nation is not a question of efficiency, it is that everyone is good with everyone, that everyone is pulling on one string and so that no competition or weird hierarchy inside the Friendship develops. Even the Empress herself is, on personal level, equal to everyone else. Mat may damage this personal system with his by personal reasons motivated action. He refuses the Nation, due to the Constitution, but with that he is also refusing the Friendship based system, out of said roleplay reasons, limiting the personal freedom of all other elarians while securing his own ones, on roleplay but also personal level. It is where the roleplay slowly ends.

## Exilfrage II - Globale Reaktion

### Anfangs..

Elaris is allied with a lot of the major nations and empires, such as Empire of Narda and the Necro-Arcturus Empire. Out of both Nations, people, local lords or actual high ranked politicians stated to hold to the Elarian Republic. In fact, as the Exilists had their own town, allies could have been called into a war. The Security given by Narda and Nae had a destressing effect in the Republic.

As there was still a lot of personal and roleplay chaos in the republic, a lot of people lost the interest. Actions went quiet. When on the 29 March, the Player ".ExtremeHolyCow" created the town of Cowistan and asked the Empress who was just online on the server at that point, if she could help with building, the Empress simply sayed yes, even though its not a usual move. However, the Empress wanted to take a little break, she got a little spot in Cowistan and made some holidays there.

### Was kann schon schiefgehen?

Well what could go wrong, thought the Empress on the 30 march, having fun, normal fun, in cowistan. A light friendship built up between Cow and the Empress, being there just for fun on vacation. Meanwhile Cowistan got threatened internationally by the Nation of Riddenheim and was accused to do squatting. Little did Cow knew, he was playing since a day, he didnt even knew what Riddenheim was when he got confronted on the early 31 March. The Riddenheim leader ".BorisJohnsom" forced Cow to join Riddenheim, otherwise he would die. Cow accepted and joined Riddenheim.

## Kuhkrieg

### Result

NAE Victory

Belligerents| * Riddenheim
* Empire of Narda (Allies)
* Tetlitan (Allies)

Commanders| * .BorisJohnsom
* OLATEE
* PenguinOnConsole
* The\_Pope69

Casualties| * .BorisJohnsom: around 10-20
* Goldi\_Gold\_3: 1

About 20 minutes after Cowistan joined Riddenheim and got suppressed heavily, a lot of people from NAE and Narda joined the Server. A war was planned against Riddenheim, as so often. The War was declared and panic broke out for the Empress, She was civilian in Cowistan that now is getting attacked as part of Riddenheim by NAE and Narda. Cow wasnt able to leave the Nation, and already resisted heavily against Riddenheim due to high taxes, so he stated to not fight in the upcoming war. The Empress did so aswell.

A war happened and the Empress is actually enemy of NAE and Narda. ".BorisJohnsom" was not always there, so the war was running relatively chilled as the Empress and Cow didnt fought at all. The Empress, as representative of the Elarian Republic is allied with Narda and NAE. No one would attack her, she thought, and went to a diplomatic mission to Riddenheim's sieged capital, New Squidia, where she got shot once by The\_Pope69, which led to light chaos inside the NAE-Nardan lines.

The War at all started with terrorist attacks by .BorisJohnsom. After he was found and killed, he died many more times in the sieged capital New Squidia. Riddenheim then gave up after some time, and around 20 minutes before the war would have ended time-wise, they surrendered. In the Peacetalks there were multiple tries of assasinations by .BorisJohnsom.

Due to the War, Cowistan got their independence and got guaranteed by the Empire of Narda with the Osmeus Doctrine of the 31 March 2023. With that, the Empress now has a secured vacation spot, completely out of nothing. A war that happened completely without the Empress' knowing, accidently forcing her in, taking place in a problem that originally was a diffrent.

### Währenddessen: Kompromissfindung

Meanwhile, talks with Mat were held. Mat' Exilium grew, which led to panic on side of the Empress, *also out of personal reasons*. With the talks, it was agreed on full neutrality. No one should start a popential conflict. Exilium is and stays not existant in the World Politics, they are an isolationist anarchist commune.

During the Talks it was also stated, that under any circumstances, Exilium is not willing to join the Republic again, as the constitution, limits in shipbuilding and the current voting system is against *their* intentions. Its confused.. Overall, Mat got his place for his people. Everything is aimed to stay on a neutral-friendly base and Exilium and the Republic are neutral. Maybe, a.. happy end? - Well, the Republic lost more than it gained but was able to keep *a kind of* friendship, although personal touch damaged the friendship. Overall a bad deal for the republic, a bad deal for the friendship.

## Exilfrage III -

The friendship was decreasing. With increasing time, the Exilists saw the republic less as home, more as a competitor, maybe even an enemy. On the 3 April, a negotiation- and compromise-basis was found. Exilium would join the Republic as a province like every other province. Mat would become leader of the "Rep. Marine" - the Navy - and some Laws would have been written, in order to give the provinces more power, depower the state, government and boost the *democracy* - in order for the provinces, getting more power.

A graphic was made, that explains the situation overall, the "Systematic Relation". The Systematic Relation, or "Systematischer Zusammenhang" in german, is the organigram that shows the Relation of State (the System), Roleplay, Gameplay, Server and Personality. The Exilfrage escalated already into a much larger internal conflict, when the graphic was made on 13-14 April.

Due to the intense Exam-Phase in mid-April, the so called April-Reforms, or "Aprilreformen" in german, were delayed. A Status quo was agreed on until the time was right. On the 19 April, a short break in the Exam-Phase allowed time for those reforms, which were applied on the 20 April, without agreement of the senate, as the conflict, escalating into a friendship internal crisis, was aimed to be solved inside the friendship - Solving the Exilfrage but starting the Staatsfrage one day after, on the 21 April.
