Crisis of the Second Republic

The **crisis of the Second Republic** is the term used to describe the events leading up to and of the collapse of the second Johanian Republic, and the following establishment of the Vaushist State and its struggle to establish a third republic. It began when the cohesion of the Johanian government started to deteriorate, and it was later ended by the Menshev Compromise and the formation of the Myjohanian Union.

### Lead up to the dissolution

*Further reading: Ninja-UN war*
With the fall of the Absolute Monarch of Ninjago, the Johanian and Orochian army occupied the Ninjagoan territories, roughly spittin two, with the purpose of rebuilding a democratic nation. This was made possible due to the secret pact between Myohani and Arenchao. At first, the Johanian public were overall supportive of the foreign intervention since it would liberate the victims of the Kurenjingu. However, the capture of Emperor Kareastikuru complicated matters further. The Emperor was first captured by the Myohanian Autonomous Army and held prisoner at the Myohanian Antarctican Colony. Calleastic was eventually transfered to the Johanian Federal Army due to Johanian Laws sorrounding prisoners of war and then sent to St. John, Crimea. The true conflict began when Calleastic was taken into custody by the Johanian Special Forces in the capital and then sent to an unknown location. This began tensions between the Myohanians and the Vaushists, which resulted in an agressive propaganda campaign which painted President Gallus as an imperialist, who collaborated with the capitalists behind the People's backs. This sentiment grew especially stong in Brazillya, Rojava and Eastcoastistan. The campaign was eventually taken over by the youth wing, the Vaushist Pioneers, which worsened the public image of the federal government even more. Johanian Politican Martin Cortés held an infamous speech where he called for the dissolution of the federal government since it was being abused by the "Imperialist Statist" Gallus.

### Dissolution of the second Johanian Republic

The dissolution of the second Johanian Republic was the process of internal disintegration within the country, which began in late October 2020 with growing unrest in the various constituent autonomous republics and states, and ended on November 26, 2020, when the newly formed Supreme People's Council granted the right for Johanian states to legally secede from the republic against the wishes of then President Gallus and his allies.

The dissolution began with the 2020 October Coup, when Johanian Deputy President Myohani ordered the Myohanian Autonomous Army to occupy St. John and to overthrow President Gallus and stop the recent “Imperalist and anti-revolutionary" actions. The announcement of Calleastic’s death is said to have been the "straw that broke the camel's back", since it directly motivated Myohani to overthrow the government. Gallus was captured on October 25 2020 and was forced to resign as President. Which made Myohani the successor due to his position as Deputy President. Myohani's first presidential action was to form the Supreme People’s Council. This effectively transformed the country into a confederation of states, which resulted in 32 out of the 37 Johanian states leaving the republic. This left Johania as a rump state. On December 25, Myohani resigned, declared his office extinct, and also the second republic to have been formally dissolved.

### Establishment of the third republic

After the dissolution of the second republic, the Vaushist Party formed a pseudo-state known as the Vaushist State in Eastern Europe and Siberia. This state was condemned by the UN who labeled them as "far-left extremists". After a long struggle, the Vaushist State managed to seize St. John and hold the May 2021 Election, which resulted in the Myohanian Communist Party gaining power and founding the Myjohanian Union.
