Elarian Republic, Hommburg#1

The "Hommburgfrage" or Hommburg-Question - directly translated - was an event chain of important internal events in the Elarian Republic that started between the 11 February 2023 and was solved on 21 February 2023. It is considered to be a consequence of the Stalingradfrage and was essentially involved in the process of creating the legal composition of the Elarian Republic.

*"Zur falschen Zeit, am falschen Ort, die Falsche Tat begangen, ein Problem befeuert, welches eigentlich garnicht das deine ist." - Goldi\_Gold, after realising "the" mistake she made*

## Beginning

When the Stalingradfrage ceased to be relevant for the Elarians, the paused internal political conflicts soon rised up again, as the patience slowly vanished. When on the late 10 February the Battles have ceased and the united goal, to defend against Stalingrad was achieved, people slowly began to question, with right, the, for war prepared, very centralised, socialist system.

### *The Powder Keg*

Democracy and Property was promised to the people. They demanded more and more decentralisation and more individual freedom, mostly consisting of own property and private ressources. As the System more and more was unable to establish wealth for the society, more and more distrust spread in the pupulation, leading to Weapons and Armor, being hidden from the government. *More and more powder filled a keg that threatened to explode.*

## Events

### *The Spark*

Distrust to the state and the system, people declaring eachother as "sus" and then, out of nothing, Stone Bricks, around 9 Stacks, are missing. Those were mined for the construction of the Parliament Building on the 11 February 2023 and been stored over night. At the 12 February, those stone bricks were missing, and people questioned why. Although, new stone bricks were mined and the Parliament was built as intended, people were now very unsafe. They searched for the stone, as somewhere it has to be and they found it. It was in a storage in Hommburg, which wasn't directly illegal, as everything was owned by everyone.

### *Ignition*

However, Tamonator (Player) claimed the ressources to be allocated for his Land's projects instead of the Parliament, for that the stone was originally mined for. This raged the Engenberger population, a fourius discussion on the 13 February lead to a split up in the Engenberger population. As everyone was really angry at this point, a representative majority of the Elarian Republic voted in a No-Confidence-Vote that Hommburg gets kicked out of the Nation. On that day, the Elarian Community lost a close friend, due to the furious discussion, that went way to personal. Also because of a Sickness that hindered a rational thinking.

### *Cascade*

The Empress (Char.), that had to bring the news to Tamonator (Player). And so she did. Tamonator accepted the reasons of him, disturbing the community inner peace due to his egoistic behavior and was told to move with his group to a diffrent location. Overall that decision was trying the solve the problem by a wrong way. And it didn't worked. Tamonator (Player) felt betryed and the rest of Elaris felt betrayed aswell, one good man was lost and still some kind of Problem existed. Tamonator (Player) moved very peacefully without making problems, he got with him some friends, that were are also friends with the people of Elaris, effectively splitting the whole group of people.

### *A quiet Explosion?*

The Group was split, people were mad on eachother and no one really knew what the future would look like. Plans were entirely destroyed and Distrust was yet not solved, as people continued to bunker their stuff, which was indirectly forbidden. The Empress then got some ideas on how to improve the situation for everyone, she had to write laws that will define it once and for all. On the 14 February, Hommburg left. Due to that and due to the furious discussion, people lost motivation and overall, the Exam-Phase had set in Germany, leading to less playtime overall.

The Republic went into a full Depression, almost already dying a day after being founded, on the 13 February, running into a dark phase of Friendship.

### Hope

After some days, Tamonator (Player) asked the Empress (Goldi\_Gold) to join the Republic again. Empress Elena I. stated the legitimacy of the No-Confidence-Vote and told that it would be only possible in a compromise - however, she stated, that she would be fine with a compromise. After some Days, both sides stated their positivity for a possible entry of Hommburg, back into the republic.

A draft of 2 potential laws was made. That legalised private property in a certain way and decentralised the nation, effectively being able to solve the actual problem behind the Hommburgfrage. One of it being a prototype of the Ressourcen- und Warenverteilungsgesetz.

### Fire Extinguished, Problem solved.

Talks were held with Hommburg #2, mostly with the People, that were aswell for a re-entry into the nation. Overall a proposal was sent by the Elarians, being in an intense favor for Hommburg. After some very friendship-risking "negotiations" by Hommburg, being not motivated to move into the Republic again, Everyone was very annoyed by Tamonator (Player) that delayed the process. After group-pressure Tamonator gave in. The Solution was final, which was the biggest point for negotiations and the Lands got a lot of autonomy. The State was secured once again and the Power of friendship was united again on 21 February 2023.

## Results

The Republic was reunited again, everyone was now friends again and a conflict simply deceased to exist. A great Economic Boom resulted, establishing a great flow of gameplay, resulting in a heavy focus on grinding, leading to an intense Food shortage on 25 February 2023.

Hommburg was renamed into Neu-Hommburg.

The 2 drafted laws, the Ressourcen- und Warenverteilungsgesetz and the Provinzialordnungsgesetz were enacted on February 23, stabilising the Republic and leading to overall prosperity.

On the 21 February, right before the Hommburgfrage was solved, some newly joined player settled with the town "Northstar" in Hommburg #1, which was still republican territory, leading to considerable political pressure in the Northstarfrage, that was solved the same day. Only leading to an incident for the Hommburgfrage as it got annoyingly delayed into the evening.
