Prolonged **efforts to democratise the Libirachi Empire** took place during the Presidency of Nathan Jackson between April 2010 and September 2019 as part of President Jackson's *mandate to the people* after winning the 2010 Libirachi Presidential Election. During his 9 year presidency, the Libirachi Empire underwent a period of restructuring but much of the proposed political reform packages would be blocked by the Libirachi Imperial Army, and following the introduction of the Patriot Act to the floor of the Libirachi National Congress in September 2019, the armed forces overthrew President Jackson in late September in the 2019 Libirachi Coup d'état, and transitioned the nation into a full fledged dictatorship again under the leadership of President Laura Fox, who would ultimately become Empress of the nation in November 2019.

Elected into office in April 2010, President Nathan Jackson ended the 40 year dictatorship of Jacob Zuma with his inauguration and immediately set about introducing the Mandate to the People Act of 2010 in the Libirachi National Congress, which passed by decree before the congress was re-opened following elections in August. As only the second democratically elected leader of the Libirachi Empire, Nathan Jackson's victory in the 2010 Libirachi Presidential Election proved that democracy could work within the nation, with the true aim of the Jackson administration being the eventual democratisation of the nation as specified in the unpublished Route To Freedom roadmap of 2019, which was ultimately due to be published after the completion of the Patriot Act of 2019, although as history knows this was never the case thanks to the Libirachi Civil War of 2019. Following the Xi Kanna and Jacob Zuma regimes, the government power pretty much stayed the same until the Jackson administration began to attempt to cause systematic change of the nation in the 2010s, attempting to rein in the power of the Libirachi Imperial Army and effectively bring democracy to the nation, with Jackson’s Revolutionary party storming the 2010 National Congress elections. Despite this urge to do good, the Jackson administration was continuously foiled by members of the LIA who eventually rose up in a coup in 2019, placing former education secretary Dame Laura Fox as the new President in what was largely viewed at the time to be a puppet regime.

Proving her nay-sayers wrong, President Fox managed to pull the army under her thumb and began to set about consolidating power, before passing the Assent Bill (2019) which granted the President's choice of regent the right to take the throne of the Libirachi Empire. Selecting herself, Fox was crowned as Empress Laura Fox on November 11th, 2019 and appointed fellow coup leader Xi Jimping as a replacement President, bringing the 167 years of the Imperial Republic to an end. Remembered as a staunch democrat fighting against all sides and often members of his own government for progress, Nathan Jackson is remembered as a martyr in the cause of Libirachi Democratisation internationally and by historians, whilst state propaganda paints a different picture of Jackson as a corrupt official who's poor handling of the nation left the armed forces no choice but to depose him and replace his regime with that of Laura Fox. Regarded as one of only a handful of the nation's leaders to properly attempt to bring about the introduction of free elections, even members of Jackson's own cabinet such as Alastar Brigman and Ashley Young actively worked against his campaign for freedom and ultimately continued to serve in the new order after its formation in 2019.
