New Eliland was the nation encompassing all of OBW for a period of time from April 22 to July 17, 2022. It succeeded the Republic of Eliland when then-King BrokenHerobrine overthrew supposed dictator Elijah920 at the start of OBW 5 4.0 and abolished the repressive Constitution. The nation's legitimacy was debated, but ultimately accepted as de facto by most. It preceded the Eliland Caliphate in the OBW timeline.

## Founding

In the early days of OBW 5 4.0, Elijah920, the President of the Republic of Eliland, rarely appeared. With the Federal Reserve not operating and the City Council permanently beneath quorum, it appeared as though the Republic's government had died. This was not immediately an issue due to the small player count, but eventually, BrokenHerobrine decided to form a new government.

Then, on April 22, 2022, he threw a coup overnight against the Republic, using his power as server operator to justify and legitimize his rule. He ensured the cooperation of business and plutocratic individuals by promising to offer hands-off governance, tax breaks, and economic investment. Thus, New Eliland was born.

## Government

The former government of New Eliland was headed by King BrokenHerobrine who, according to state sources, ruled graciously and with care for each and every citizen and their families. He had absolute power to legislate, enforce, and adjudge. The official residence of the King was the Palace in downtown Silver Valley, which was also the capital of the nation. The old City Council was disbanded when the King abolished the old Constitution.

Quality of life and living standards generally remained the same as before the coup, with the government sponsoring developments in industry, infrastructure, and business. Notable advancements that emerged during the New Eliland era included road repaving, bridge rebuilding, and significant expansion of business in downtown Silver Valley.

### June 1 Reforms

On June 1, 2022, BrokenHerobrine stepped down as King vowing to reform the government after complaints about dictator-like rule. He returned the City Council to its position as a legislative body, though the new government maintained the same executive agencies as the old one. BrokenHerobrine later assumed the role of General Secretary with essentially the same powers as King.

## Fall of New Eliland

On June 17, 2022, while the General Secretary went on a foreign visit with most of the upper cabinet and entire military force for protection, TipsyKermit lead a coup, and declared himself Crown Prince of the Eliland Caliphate. With most high officials and the entire army abroad, there was no effective resistance to the takeover. General Secretary BrokenHerobrine took refuge at numerous New Eliland embassies in the Middle East before negotiating a deal to return from exile.
