Fourth Republic

## The Founding of the Fourth Republic

The end of the Third Republic, largely considered the Golden Age of Calluris, would come with the resignation of NatureGamer from the Ownership of the server, and the relinquishment of ownership to long-time head admin Copley. Although Copley was largely supported as Head Admin, many did not trust her as Owner, and this trust was further diminished when she almost immediately split ownership with Deegan. Many also felt that Calluris was not the same without Nature, who had left the server by this point, and many long-time members would emigrate from the Republic. This would allow President Kramer to consolidate enough power to form a dictatorship, and this dictatorship would be what killed the Third Republic.

The Fourth Republic would be founded when Big Blake successfully brought Nature back to the server after 3 months of his absence. Nature would return to the server during a period of the complete death of the server, which was getting less than 100 messages daily, and did not even have a President following the removal of Kramer from office. Nature would immediately coup the government without much opposition, resetting the entirety of the government, and holding emergency elections to decide a new composition of the government in a desperate bid to bring back the server to greatness. The emergency elections were a success in achieving this goal, with Alex Jones being elected as the First President of the Fourth Republic, and the Sixteenth President of Calluris overall. The Alex Jones Presidency of the Fourth Republic would bring much needed stability to the volatile political situation at the beginning of the Fourth Republic, and would help the nation to build a strong and stable government, some of which would remain in place for months after Alex left office.

## History of the Fourth Republic of Calluris

Here is recorded the history of the Fourth Republic of Calluris, from the very beginnings of the new Republic up until the present. The Presidencies of each President are recorded, and all the major events that took place during each of their tenures.

### The Alex Jones Presidency:

Alex Jones would be elected as the Sixteenth President of the Republic of Calluris in a highly competitive election against then President of the Republic of Discord, James Hersey. Alex would end up winning this election by three votes, and his election would be crucial to establishing a widely supported and stable first government of the server. The Alex Presidency would largely be marked by the passage of numerous laws by the Senate crucial for the building of the first government.

Under the Alex Jones Presidency, the first Supreme Court of the Fourth Republic would be nominated, consisting of the Fourth Chief Justice of Calluris, Chief Justice Gvizdod, the Fourth Associate Justice of Calluris, Justice Joestar, and the Fifth Associate Justice of Calluris, Justice Fabian. Two of these Justices, Chief Justice Gvizdod and Justice Fabian, would remain on the bench for up to 5 months after their appointment, bringing stability to the Supreme Court, and carrying the legacy of President Alex Jones long after he had left office.

The Senate of Calluris would also enact many crucial laws during the course of the Alex Jones Presidency, including the Penal Code of Calluris which is still used to this day, the first Tax Code of the Fourth Republic, providing the government with means of obtaining revenue, The Bar Act, which established the Bar Association and Exam of the Fourth Republic, the Judicial Organization Act, which set rules and procedures for the courts of Calluris, and the Protecting Children Act.

President Alex Jones would additionally sign the highly controversial NSFW Ban Act into law, after being enacted by the Senate after Prime Minister Blumenthal voted in the affirmative on the law in order to break a 4-4-1-0 tie in the Senate, bringing the bill to the desk of President Alex Jones, who would sign the controversial bill into law. This law would be the subject of much political turmoil in the future, being repealed and re-enacted by the Senate numerous times during the course of Callurian history.

President Alex Jones would also build up a rivalry with Prime Minister Blumenthal during his term, and the Prime Minister would also alienate the Senate during the course of his term, leading to Blumenthal's resignation from the office after an attempt by the Senate to forcibly remove him from that office due to his increasingly rogue actions against President Alex Jones. President Alex Jones would then appoint Happy Joshua to be the new Prime Minister following Blumenthal's resignation, who would largely cooperate with the President during the remainder of his term.

Notable Achievements of the Alex Jones Presidency include:

* Nominated all 3 Justices of the Supreme Court, two of which would remain on the bench for 5 months or longer after their appointment.
* Signed the Penal Code of the 4th Republic into law.
* Signed the first Tax Code of the 4th Republic into law.
* Signed the Judicial Organization Act into law.
* Signed the Bar Act into law.
* Signed the controversial NSFW Ban Act into law, which tied in the Senate.
* Signed the Protecting Children Act into law.
* Vetoed the popular Server Expansion Act.
* Created the first Army of Calluris due to increasing tensions with the Republic of Discord.
* Reset the economy of Calluris through the enactment of an Executive Order.
* Made the death penalty illegal through the enactment of an Executive Order.
* Signed the Properties Act into law, which established private property.
* Signed the Economic Fairness Act and Aero Day Act into law.
* Reinstated the medals from the Third Republic via an Executive Order.
* Served a full term in office.

### The Big Blake Presidency:

Big Blake would be elected the 17th President of the Republic of Calluris in one of the ugliest elections in Callurian history. Big Blake would compete against popular Callurian politician and Former President Joseph Joestar in this election, resulting in a highly fierce and competitive election between the two candidates. Screenshots would surface during the election depicting Joestar proposing a merging of Calluris with the Republic of Discord, and although many believed the screenshots to have been faked by L0GAN, who was causing many problems in the server at the time, Joestar would end up dropping out of the election as a result of these accusations, making Big Blake the winner.

Joestar would not forget this event however, and would later be appointed to the Senate of Calluris, and as a Senator would immediately work to remove President Blake from office. This would result in much drama in Congress, as President Blake desperately attempted to defend himself against allegations of treason being raised by Senator Joestar against the President. After an intense impeachment hearing in Congress however, the efforts of President Blake to defend himself were in vain, and the Senate would successfully impeach President Blake in a 7-2 vote, making Prime Minister succeed the office as the 18th President of Calluris only 5 days after Blake's election. President Blake would be the first President of Calluris to be impeached by the Senate.

Despite being impeached by the Senate after only 5 days in office, President Blake would have numerous achievements during his Presidency, including:

* Signed the Efficiency of the Media Act into law.
* Began the tradition of holding daily press briefings.
* Recognized the Commonwealth of Discord as an independent nation, which had recently seceded from RoD.
* Created a category for events.
* Had one of the most active Cabinets in Callurian history.
* Was the first President to be impeached by the Senate.

### The Joshua Jones Presidency:

Joshua Jones, who served as President Blake's Prime Minister, would assume the office of President following Blake's impeachment by the Senate. Many people viewed President Joshua to be an illegitimate President, believing Blake's impeachment to be politically motivated by the Senate, with Senator Joestar leading the efforts in the Senate to impeach Blake, which many saw as revenge for Blake beating Joestar in the previous presidential election. During his time in office, President Joshua would become extremely anti-Blake following his impeachment. However, this would backfire against the President, resulting in a very pro-Blake Senate being elected during the midterm elections. Overall, Joshua's Presidency was largely inconsequential apart from reversing many Executive Orders issued by the Blake Administration.

### The Farquaad Presidency:

Prime Minister Lord Farquaad would inherit the Callurian Presidency following the assassination of President Joshua by a political extremist. Farquaad served as President for a mere two days, and was thus only known as being the first female President of the Fourth Republic.

### The Copley Presidency:

Copley would be elected as the 5th President of the 4th Republic, beating opposing candidate Big Blake for the Presidency with a slim majority of votes in the presidential election. Copley would become the second female President of the 4th Republic, and would establish the office of Chief of Staff during her tenure as President. She would also sign the AIDS Act into law, created a ticketing system for law enforcement, and vetoed the Ban on Furries Act, but would resign soon into her Presidency to focus on her personal life.

### The Cap Presidency:

Following the resignation of President Copley, Cap would inherit the office of the Presidency, and would serve for a brief 8 days following this inheritance. During his brief time as President activity within the Republic of Calluris would sharply decline, resulting in massive protests from the population against his government and demands for his resignation. This initial unpopularity would be worsened when the Senate approved Deegan to be Prime Minister, a controversial selection by President Cap, who would be removed from office by a vote of no confidence in the Senate to be replaced by then Speaker of the Senate Boz. Cap would then resign from the Presidency, officially allowing Prime Minister Boz to inherit the office.

### Fall of the Fourth Republic:

After a series of less than ideal leadership, many of the members, would become interested in a restart of the Server, with a new set of laws, and new political figures entering the fray. Thats Cap would not be taken as seriously, but the major figures, including Nature and Steve, would actively campaign to restart. The new age of Calluris would rise.
