[8:11 PM]
• The Fourteenth Republic was created by veteran Kramerian John Hersey as a "tomb" to house Kramerian history, which he then considered to be dead. Upon announcing his intentions to archive the nation and to cease operations, veteran Kramerian Rockstar exclaimed that Krameria must continue and hinted at creating his own Fourteenth Republic. In an attempt to preserve Kramerian unity, Hersey allowed Rockstar to manage the server, which successfully continued political operations after some time. • Hersey was initially pessimistic about the future of Krameria, yet after altering his mentality toward managing the server, he reportedly began to experience success and satisfaction with its condition. On June 23, Hersey officially declared that the nation was in an “active” position. • In the Fourteenth Republic’s first General Election, Bakstansky was elected for his fifth Presidency. Upon becoming President, he proposed and successfully passed the Twelfth Republic’s Constitution, thus seeing it re-enacted. • The first major political event of the 14th Republic was the Pokemon Riots, also known as the Midnight Riots, which occured on June 19, 2022. • Initially, members Archie and Legion decided to have a pokemon battle using the bot "PokeTwo". The President at the time, Rockstar, who was also a member of the Triad, objected to the use of the bot in the Fortitude chat. • Despite objections, Archie and Legion continued to battle, having two battles before their attention was turned to Rockstar. • Rockstar then voiced his opinion that PokeTwo should be banned, which created an argument within the capital. This argument then spurred into a vote within the staff chat to ban the bot. Rockstar initially voted to ban the bot, but changed his vote to nay so long as the bot's use was relegated to a separate channel.
[8:11 PM]
• The public was notified about the decision, however despite the decision the movement was not over. • At 2:00 AM EST, Dr. Godzilla sent the message "I LOVE POKEMON. This message was soon sent repeatedly by Legion, and soon after multiple people started repeating it. Calls for President Rockstar to be resigned or impeached were also repeated. • Soon after, Fortitude was covered in the message "I LOVE POKEMON". President Rockstar was at first unaware of the situation, since he was working on Executive Order 002, which designated June 19th as "Kramerian Pokemon Revolution Day" and made Pokemon battling illegal in any channel except #pokemon-battle . • Once he was alerted of the situation, Rockstar tried to stop the protests, but was unable to due to his administrative powers being taken away for approximately one hour. The riot continued for around 9 minutes. They stopped when Rockstar appeared emotionally distraught over the whole situation and threatened to resign office. • The situation was resolved at approximately 2:12 AM when Hersey archived the original Fortitude chat and replaced it with a new capital. The Pokemon Riots later brought conversations about what qualifies as protest or a riot and what the powers of the President should be to resolve the situation. • The early Fourteenth Republic saw the return of various veteran Kramerians, such as Cosmical, Freland (albeit in a historian state retired from politics), Chief Justice Tejedor, Archie, Stunt (as a private citizen), Foxglove, Fu, Rambo, and Alexandria-Plotonia (as a private citizen). • Influential newcomers to the Fourteenth Republic included Resprune Ásatrú and Chloe Harris-Kite. • In late June-early July of 2022, Congress would demonstrate activity levels not seen since the summer of 2020, passing multiple pieces of major legislation including the ACAJ '22 and First Kramerian Economic Package.
[8:12 PM]
• Contrary to the sentiments of most Kramerians, Cosmical was happy about the re-establishment of Fortitude, and stated that the Court needed to go further and render the Constitution in effect during the Fourteenth Republic as illegitimate due to how it "never passed Congress" (the truth of this claim not being confirmed nor denied). Cosmical additionally claimed this about Fortitude's statehood status, despite the fact that the statehood in question was stripped via a Constitutional amendment in the Eleventh Republic. • Following a heated exchange between various Kramerians and Romulus in Fortitude's public square, Cosmical proceeded to leave Krameria out of anger and sympathy for Romulus. • In mid-August, just as numerous individuals were developing plans to reform Krameria, a myriad of individuals began to drift away from the server due to a combination of burnout and pessimism for its future. Most notably, Assistant KEB Director Stunt resigned from his position and claimed that he did not see Krameria improving any time soon. Additionally, Rambo would resign from all his government and staff positions be one of four individuals to form the "New Kramerian Republic" (alongside Marwick, Tom, and Aviator), which was composed of individuals tired of the Republic's state and of Hersey's ownership.
[8:12 PM]
• This would see Hersey form the group chat known as the "Committee for the restoration of Krameria", in which he would call on those distancing themselves from the server to state their problems so that the remaining dedicated members could work to solve them. After two weeks, the group chat would identify the fundamental issues and begin implementing them in the Plotonia Administration. In this administration, veteran Kramerian Freland would largely act as Acting President and unilaterally issue laws and executive orders under the Fourteenth Republic's first Legislative Emergency. • In early September of 2022, however, the short term activity generated by Acting President Freland would largely deteriorate, as elections would be late. This would cause prominent Latome politician William Horning to involve himself in federal affairs and lead a movement to open polls. Given that the KEB had failed in their duties, Freland would proceed to do so in his capacity as staff. • This period would see Naturegamer be the first President to assume office on the expiration of a term. As Father of Congress, he did so under a vacant Vice Presidency, vacant Congressional Speakership, and vacant Cabinet. • On August 14th, Hersey, deciding that he had down enough of a good job as owner to warrent retirement, decided to pass ownership along to Former Vice President Chloe Harris-Kite. This move was criticized across the mock government community as many distained the idea of a woman becoming owner. Ling Hades opposed the move because he felt it was an attempt by Hersey to hold onto power though a puppet and that the general public did not get to vote on the next owner. • In the subsequent election, Cosmical would be elected President and would promise to revitalize Krameria with lasting activity. Additionally, Cosmical would support a movement against the Kramerian staff team and owner Chloe Harris-Kite, who was given the position by Hersey in August.
[8:12 PM]
• In August, Freland successfully instituted the Judiciary Amendment, which imposed new methods to keep the Supreme Court in check following Cosmical V. The Republic." • Early into his Presidency, Cosmical aligned himself with those who opposed Chloe's ownership. Among these included Polky, Hades, Godzilla, and Ash Ricci. These individuals were all part of a nation known as "Kalvaria" and advertised their server frequently. Furthermore, they deemed Chloe to be inherently tyrannical without explaining why. Because of these two factors, various individuals (such as Fu and Chloe) concluded that this was some attempt to bolster Kalvaria by putting Krameria down. • Although President Cosmical opposed Chloe and largely distrusted her, he still compromised with her to further his own agenda. As President, he had the government negotiate with her to bring about staff reform. This would lead to a compromise which instituted moderator elections to experiment with elected staff. • In late September of 2022, President Cosmical discovered the true intent of the Kalvarians. Their intent was to stir opposition for Chloe and thus push Krameria to the brink of a new republic; following this, they would attempt to make this new republic socialist. Seeing this as foreign interference and manipulative, Freland and Cosmical resolved against them, as Cosmical would cut them off as advisors. Right after this happened, however, Godzilla would unseat Cosmical for the Presidency. • Cosmical's subsequent rhetoric would largely be antagonistic toward the Kalvarians. He would frequently verbally bash them, and would insult them constantly. For his fits of anger, Cosmical frequently apologized.
[8:12 PM]
• Once their plot was discovered, slowly yet surely the Kalvarians would pull out. They stopped demonizing Chloe and slowly stopped participating. By December of 2022, their involvement had ceased completely. • In late September of 2022, Fu passed his long-awaited new Constitution. In doing so, he brought about a new Congressional system (with seven Congressional seats being distributed in accordance with a state's voter turnout) and introduced the possibility for Krameria to use two-round voting. Fu's Constitution additionally made Fortitude a "federal district", which would be used as a talking point in early 2023's discourse. • In October of 2022, there were new calls on Chloe to resign. She had unilaterally attempted to institute a party system, which went against the government's policy on political parties at the time. Thus, Chloe agreed to an ownership election on the condition that Freland would be her opposition. In the resulting election, Freland would win with 75% of the vote to Chloe's 25%. • Once elected owner, Freland would begin pursuing ambitions to democratize the staff. He introduced an amendment to the staff compact which would make the owner and impartial overseer and see the head of staff elected. This was opposed by both active staff members, Chloe and Fu. Thus, most of Freland's reforms failed.
[8:13 PM]
• In late October of 2022, a person known as "Caesarian" began participating in Krameria. Staff would be suspicious when he was offended at someone asking who he was, yet ultimately took no action. On being elected President, he would reveal himself to be former President Alexander, a controversial canvasser in August of 2020. Suspiciously, President Alexander introduced a bill to legalize canvassing while he was President (which failed Congress) Thus, many Kramerians would be suspicious of his second Presidency. Congress, however, would not move forth Articles of Impeachment as they did during his first Presidency. Regardless, Alexander resigned six days into office.
[8:13 PM]
• Following Alexander's resignation, President Blossom Moonlight pardoned him on all potential canvassing charges. This would spark controversy and disapproval for the Moonlight Administration. • In the Election of November 4, 2022, a historic controversy would arise. James Hersey noticed on November 5 that KEB Director Rockstar deleted the votes of Wakefield and Romulus illegitimately. Re-calculating the results with William Horning and Freland, they discovered that the election which saw Broski Biden initially win the Presidency actually resulted in a tie between Biden and newcomer Frederick North. Thus, the KEB backtracked. Given that there were no tie-breaking laws at the time, the KEB held a runoff between the two candidates, which North won by a single vote (obtaining 16 votes to Biden's 15). The Biden Administration was thus deemed illegitimate, and the North Administration commenced. • For his mistake in the November 4 General Election, Rockstar would face harsh criticism from the Kramerian people. Because of this, he would resign as KEB Director. Hersey would then take office as KEB Director for a single day. • In December of 2022, Italian surpassed Rockstar as the longest consecutive-serving President. He served from November 19 through the entire month of December, up until the first day of 2023. • In early Janaury, 2023, Freland and William Horning proposed the "New Electoral Deal", which encompassed a bill reorganizing the KEB and a Constitutional amendment formalizing recall elections and tie-breaking procedures. Both documents would be ratified.
[8:13 PM]
• Early January would also see the election of Chloe Harris-Kite to the Presidency. On becoming President, Chloe introduced numerous reforms, including the abolition of the Departments of Activity and Defense, a new economic bill, and the abolition of the embassies category. All reforms would pass Congress and be enacted. • In late January, Freland proposed two amendments to flesh out the judiciary. One formalized that the Supreme Court would thereafter preside over all impeachment trials, and the second fleshed out the position of Chief Justice and the judicial rules and procedures.
[8:13 PM]
• On February 12, 2023, influential Congressional Deputy Speaker Starton would file a Constitutional case to the Supreme Court on the basis that the KEB illegitimately removed 2 votes from an election. He alleged that they could still vote even while lacking a state, since voting was a fundamental right. The KEB countered this, alleging that Krameria's power derived from the people of its states, and that the Constitution only granted states the right to vote. They additionally stated that the "right to vote" article was too inexplicit to mean what Starton alleged it means. The Supreme Court mainly ruled with Starton, yet stated that the two votes could be removed from Congressional elections. Since the Presidency is a national vote, however, the Supreme Court ruled that voting is a fundamental right, and even implied that non-citizens may have the right to vote in the future. • In response to this ruling, Freland proposed a Constitutional amendment which mandated all citizens to reside in a state, stated that all voting was for citizens, and clarified that no citizen could be stripped of their right to vote. Starton opposed this amendment, mainly because he alleged it "undermined Starton V. KEB." With this allegation, Starton successfully convinced Congress to oppose Freland's amendment. In response to this, Freland offered to remove the state section of the amendment. Starton would be unresponsive to his negotiation efforts. • Freland additionally proposed a Constitutional amendment granting Congress the ability to investigate government officials for eventual impeachments. Most Congressmen opposed this amendment, as they thought investigations should remain with the Department of Justice. Freland proceeded to clarify his intentions, being weary of Attorney Generals that were just cronies of corrupt Presidents, yet Congress did little to respond to him.

[8:13 PM]
• In March, William Horning was distasteful of Fortitude's status and thus proposed an amendment that would grant it full statehood. This amendment was rejected by Congress. During this time, he would additionally propose an amendment allowing for the use of Single Transferable Vote. This amendment would be ratified. • In Congress, meanwhile, Deputy Speaker Starton would encourage and attempt the practice of tabling, which was certified by Vice President Cosmical. Speaker Luna Moulton, however, would put a halt to this, stating that it was not permitted in the Congressional rules and procedures (as no part of the procedures mentioned tabling). While this issue never went to court, Moulton proposed the "Anti-Tabling Amendment", which would make tabling bills unconstitutional. This amendment failed Congress. • In April, Moulton proposed an amendment allowing for new states to be created under certain conditions and with Congressional approval. While passing Congress, this amendment would fail the national referendum. • In late April, many formerly influential Kramerians would flock back to the nation, those of whom included Rambo, Legion, Ahzek Ahriman, Rockstar, and Matt. This would spark a new wave of positive activity. Additionally, various newcomers were becoming involved, such as Semisol. • On March 20th, a discord user named Stephe joined Krameria and on the 21st began attempting to destigmatize pedophilia. His attempt was faced with mass outrage and even more outrage was caused at the staff teams slowness to ban him. This even caused Hersey to come out of retirement to attempt to force the staff team to ban him. Freland would finally become aware of the situation and himself threaten to take action if Stephe was not banned, he eventually would be.
[8:14 PM]
• On April 2nd, Hersey would be banished for the first time from Krameria. This would happen following his comments towards Resprune. The banishment was carried out by Owner Horning without a vote. Hersey would ask Freland to unban him and on the 6th, Hersey returned, this would cause Aviator to leave the server out of anger. • Upon becoming involved, Rambo would quickly win the Presidency. On becoming President, Rambo proposed the "Government Supremacy Amendment", which would see the government denounce the staff-government separation and demand control over the staff team. Seeing this as problematic, William Horning and Chloe Harris-Kite announced that not only would the staff team reject this amendment, but that the government would no longer have the ability to pass anything similar. Horning and Chloe attempted to impose their own control over the government by taking away their ability to acknowledge reality and imposing a "meta/rp divide". This would be met with outrage, as instability took hold for the first time in 11 months. This would mark the start of the Roleplay Riots. After several failed attempts to defend the decision Federated, Starton and several others threatened to succeed if the decision was not reversed, seeing this, both Horning and Chloe fled the nation, and ownership was passed to Kramerian veteran Legion. • As owner Legion would quickly reinstate Hersey as a Triad and the two would rebuild the now gutted staff team as by the end of the riots Puffy Hersey was the sole remaining staff member from before Legion took over. Owner Horning and Triad Chloe had fled, Aviator resigned and left, Hersey demoted and banned prior. • Although a majority would favor Rambo's Government Supremacy Amendment, it would not receive the 2/3 needed to be ratified and failed by one vote, the deciding vote, cast by Rui, would doom the amendment as he misclicked. Thus, the staff and government were kept separate and free to each pursue their own respective ambitions. This would also mark the end of Rockstar from the nation, as a testament for this service for the nation, he was banned for life by the owners for trying to ask for his recognition of his work.
[8:14 PM]
• The following month would see Kramerian activity plummet but stabilize as President Puffy Hersey lead the ship of state. His administration though would be seen as inactive and accomplishing little and thus would lead to the electoral return of Fu! SunGlisten to the Presidency on June 4th. Fu had not been President since the 8th Republic in 2021 and his last position held was Kramerian Emperor during the Empire the year before. As President Fu and Speaker John Smith brought activity to the server and reinvigorated the Federal Government. • This activity would continue on unimpeded until on June 7th, when Fu took a hard switch into Ultra-Christian nationalism. This saw him, with the help of Attorney General and Speaker John Smith rapidly pass several laws concerning theology and it's relationship to the government. The most controversial being the Ethical Elections Act also known as the Divine Elections Act. This heavily restricted who was allowed to serve in the government and blacklisted women, trans people and members of the LGBTQ community. After failing to halt the law in the Supreme Court, the admins violated the staff government separation and forcibly removed President Fu and Speaker Smith from office under the pretense of ToS violations, banning them. Fu would not return to Krameria until October 9th, four entire months since he was banned. John Smith was never unbanned. • After his banning, Vice President Hersey would become President briefly before resigning. The Presidency would then illegally pass to now Speaker Calvin, who was in actuality a Fu alt. When it was learned that Secretary of Defense Bautista was actually to inherit the Presidency through being Secretary of Defense -> Attorney General -> Vice President, Calvin fled Krameria.

[8:14 PM]
• Bautista's term as President would be generally uneventful and he would lose re-election by a single vote to Hersey. • Hersey ran for President with Lofi Radio as his running mate, a music bot, and managed to win. The most controversy of his two week term arose from Vice President Radio's non-human status. Congress and membership rallied around the Vice President and called for her removal, however Congress would be notoriously slow in actually taking such action with an impeachment resolution only coming a week into the term. The impeachment itself was rushed and Hersey tried to nullify it by declaring it was written and passed incorrectly. The attempt failed and Lofi was successfully impeached, however the trial would not actually begin until Hersey left office by resigning an hour before the end of his term, giving the Presidency to Lofi. The trial would end up convicting her and Former Owner Horning's lawsuit seeking to disqualify her from holding office would succeed. Both after she left office. • The most significant event during Hersey's term on a legislative side was the creation of a lower chamber of Congress, the House of Commons. Hersey rallied against this and tried to stop it's creation to no avail. It would be a drain on activity for the first month before picking up during the Romulus Revival. • On June 11th, the 14th Republic turned one year old, something no other Republic had ever achieved, with the runner ups being the 11th Republic at 256 days, and the 6th Republic at 165. • On June 17, Romulus returned to Krameria. Soon after on the 23rd he was nominated and became a Supreme Court Justice. He'd soon make a run for President with Hersey as his running mate and win on July 2nd, officially marking the beginning of the Romulus revival that lasted 90 days and ended on September 30th.

[8:15 PM]
• Romulus' term as President saw an enormous upward flight of activity and saw a massive uptick of newcomer Kramerians and old veterans. Many of whom were accused of being close or alts of Romulus himself. He'd easily win re-election on July 14th. Hersey by this time had resigned as Vice President and Attorney General Overlord had slipped into the role. • Overlord would prove to be the single most unpopular Vice President of all time for his irritating manner of speaking, taking advantage of Discord's bold text feature using "#" before every single sentence, his sycophantism to Romulus, and general inactivity and lack of knowledge. The sycophantism and inactivity in particular lead many to believe he was an alt of Romulus. Despite all these things Overlord would be kept on as Vice President for the second and third terms as an "insurance policy" as Romulus would state. • During this era Romulus would attempt to revive RoD 1 under his leadership beginning on June 4th and ending on July 14th when he lost interest and saw that RoD 15 had not yet fully ended • On August 6th, there was a recall attempt against Romulus for numerus reasons, the recall would ultimately fail and Romulus would gloat about having won a "fourth term". • Romulus would leave office on August 12th and would be replaced by SDLP nominee Tuck Frump, also known as Roosie. His term would be relatively inactive and Romulus, feeling injured by the prior recall attempt would run and win an actual fourth term right after Frump's. This term saw Romulus take a more hands off approach and the most notable aspect was Rhenic being nominated and confirmed as Vice President as Rom had not chosen a running mate. • After Romulus "retired", Paramount Republic politician Napland Hersey would try for the office and win in an upset. He would hold mediocre activity and shockingly win a second term against National Republican Party nominee Redd and Social Democratic Labour Party nominee and Former President Ernie Korben.

[8:15 PM]
• Just days after his re-election, on the 25th the staff came out and declared large parts of the citizenry who had been pivotal in the revival to potentially be alts of Romulus. Instead of fighting the claims all declared outrage at even being accused and outright refused to co-operate in any way to prove their innocents. President Napland himself was accused and left his final message as President declaring his concern at the accusations on the 26th of September. He would never come online again. • After deliborations by the Triad the following were convicted of being alts and were removed; Overlord, Dale Gribble, Orville R. Cellar, Burtq, Amplified, John Locke. Overlord's conviction would be undone a month later on October 20th. • As a product of his inactivity the first ever successful recall of a President was initiated and successfully removed Napland as President on the 30th. James Hersey once again became President at that time. • Hersey would resign on the 5th of October sparking a worrying trend in politics that would last until the 24th where there was rapid resignation, removal, recall or banishment of Presidents. The month of October 2023 saw the single most Presidencies of any in history with Hersey, Noridskiy, Mac, Biden, AOL, Bautista, Ludwig, XP, Sanders, Sigma, Fu, Ahriman and IffyUr all serving as President. • On October 7th Broski Biden would return to the Presidency to massive fanfare and would prove himself to be one of the most active Presidents of the year, however his Presidency would come crashing down as Speaker Sanders would go after him for seizing inactive news networks and canvassing during the election. On October 10, Biden attempted to nullify the impeachment charged by resigning as President and having now President AOL declare martial law and put him back in office. This process was done incorrectly and would lead to Secretary of Defense Bautista to become President again in an almost word for word repeat of his ascension in June.

[8:15 PM]
• Bautista would resign as President on the 18th leaving the Presidency to longtime Second Republican Ludwig who used the office to troll before himself resigning. Vice President Vee XP briefly assumed the Presidency before it was leaned that he was actually illegitimately Vice President and the line of succession was meant to pass to Speaker Sanders who had served in cabinet a few days longer. • Sanders as President had to face the rapid rise of fascism in Krameria as secret fascist and Former Internal Affairs Secretary Theta Sigma returned to Krameria to launch a bid for the Presidency with Fu as his running mate. Sanders would fail to halt it's rise and Sigma was easily elected. His day long term as President saw the 14th Republic unify more than ever before in history as Sigma's rapid descent into authoritarian fascism and unhinged instability left him with absolutely zero support past the first hour of his Presidency. • Sigma's administration despite being less than a day long permanently changed the 14th Republic forever. His open fascism and attempts to overthrow, take control and keep control of the government were met with unified resistance as impeachment charges, a recall and eventual banishment ensured his "Kramerian Reich" died one day in. • Following Sigma's banishment Fu would become President during the recall attempt and would himself be recalled a day later as he was Sigma's Vice President. This would see KEB Director Ahzek Ahriman Hersey become President as Speaker Starton became the first Kramerian in history to refuse the Presidency. Ahriman became President as there was a gap between when the recall results were posted and when the new President was elected, creating a void that Ahriman filled through the LoS. Ahriman's term brought to further light a disturbing trend of recent Presidents attempting to forcibly dissolve the 14th Republic. Sanders, Sigma and Ahriman all attempted to do so, with Sanders and Ahriman doing so "jokingly".

[8:15 PM]
• After being evicted as President Fu would sue to reclaim his office, arguing that the recall did not effect the Vice President and he should have remained as President until the election was over. The results of the case are yet undecided. • Former Vice President IffyUr who had not been active since the 11th Republic in 2021 and who rejoined Krameria on July 23, won the Presidency in a massive upset as most of the night saw Former President Cosmical hold the lead. • President IffyUr promised to stabilize the government and finish the Presidential term. he was the direct opposite of Sigma who was a brash, angry, vicious fascist as IffyUr was a calm, quiet and kind social democrat. • On October 24th, 2023, the 14th Republic became 500 days old, An achievement never before seen in Kramarian history. One day later on the 25th, Krameria grew to it's largest size in history at 400 members. • On October 27th, a recall against President IffyUr would begin for his alleged inactivity, bringing in the 14th President in a single month.
