On February 11, 2022 under the leadership of the Domain Expansion Party and its regional military, launched a coup d'etat against the conservative-hold and majority government, stating the reasons of: Abusive usage of position, corruption within the position, and unlikeliness to ever step down from their respective positions under the provisions of the IAE Wiki Constitution. In fear of escalating to a civil war, Raymond Flynn and Kenneth Carson, the President and Prime Minister respectively, resigned their posts to make way for the leaders of the coup to seize control over the server.

Shaun Palma, known to be the "minds" behind the Coup under the careful supervision towards Coup leader Nicholas Castro, was named Prime Minister on the same hour as the coup escalated. However, on the 7th hour of the same day, Castro abdicated as President and made way for Palma to succeed him as the sole legal leader of the IAE Wiki, making Palma the first President and Prime Minister of the server to hold both positions and have sole power over all legislative agendas and control over the Wiki. Castro winded up on replacing Palma as the Governor of the Domain Expansion Region.

## Background

Following the defeat of Palma in the 2021 December Presidential and Assembly Elections that rejected his bid for a second term, speculations arose when the sudden announcement of a coup d'etat would take place at some point in 2022. Suggesting that the Government was once again under the Conservative Party's control, the first time that both the Presidency and Assembly leadership was under the same political party.

In the meantime, Palma returned as Governor of the Domain Expansion Region, replacing Nicholas Castro to begin building up the so-called "Cunny Military" that the Flynn-administration estimated of around ~250,000 men, but only had 75,000-100,000 military troops. The Military however, is feared because of their skilled ability to fight in battle regardless of the terrain and temperature.

#### Conservative Party

Raymond Flynn announced that he will be meeting with the leaders of the Domain Expansion Region to discuss further tension dismantling and easing of tension between both sides as the Domain Expansion Region is a "crucial" region under the IAE Wiki's control. After a threat made of a possible independence movement of the Domain Expansion Region was established, it was denounced as a self-act of "irresponsibility" and "selfless shame" towards the leaders of the Region under the leadership of President Eman Clavio. Tougher stances were put in place under the administration of Mark Castro however, but both leaders would eventually defect to the Domain Expansion alliance in fear of a possible civil war.

#### Domain Expansion Party

Now renamed to as the Cunny Party, they have expressed their distrust to the Conservatives for dismantling their trust towards their party's base and leadership, stating that their leaders are "irresponsible" and "corrupt" as continuous power-sharing struggles continue to this very day. Through Shaun Palma's words, he plans to replace the Conservatives if elected to a snap-election challenge that was faced and backed by the entirety of the Domain Expansion region.

### Electoral Challenge (18 January 2022)

In fear of secession of the Domain Expansion Region, then-President Raymond Flynn announced that he will be accepting the Parliament's vote of no-confidence to his Conservative Government. With a vote of 327-298, the Government won by one of the slimmest margins of no-confidentiality votes in the IAE Wiki's history. However, Palma was no satisfied with the results, suggesting that many of the members of the Domain Expansion Party, including Conservative MPs, have been given bribes and were initially corrupt cronies of the Conservative Government. Flynn called out Palma of his suggested rumors, stating that he was too much of a "control-freak" and is not accepting the defeat that his party has obtained.

### Coup (February 11, 2022)

With the upcoming February 15th Elections occuring in a matter of days, on 11:03 am of February 11, 2022, the Commanding General of the Domain Expansion Region Nicholas Castro announced the launching and the full-scale coup that the Region's military will be observing for the entirety of the day.
