## Overview

The November 16th Coup (*Also known as the War of November 16th or the Glark War)* was a 48 minute long attempted Coup d'état by the fascist political party, the Security and Freedom Party. The coup was caused by mass protests and a widespread misbelief that there was greater support for Fascism on the server then there really was. The Coups failure lead to a rise in support for the governing Polynesian Liberals and Democrats prior to the upcoming 35th RoP federal election and Z5H2 was put on trial on the 24th of November 2021, Being found guilty on all charges.

## History

### **Beginning**

Prior to the foundation of the Security and Freedom Party fascism and the far right had been long dead on Polynesia since the fall of Dans Danisterium, This had continued well into 2021, Over a year and a half after Dans fall fascism was still of the table, However the Renew Polynesia Party had recently inducted a new member of parliament, Z5H2 had just arrived off of the back of the failure of the Liberal Progressive Party and within a few days quit the party to form the Security and Freedom Party due to this new position as a famous politician controversy began,

Sealand and Spaghettio two relatively well known players on the server both announced anti fascist protests against Z5H2s new party causing him to make repeated statements against them, Z5H2s responses to these anti fascist protests would tank any respect from other parties and Z5H2 began personal attacks on the leading pair rather than defend his movement, When asked why fascism Z5H2 would refuse to explain and get angry causing general dissatisfaction with him and his movement,

With such high tension, Z5H2 would threaten to declare war on the RoP multiple times threataning to take over the nation as a new dictaitor to "fix the country" Spaghettio pressured Z5H2 jokingly to otherthrow the government and 10 minutes later Z5H2 announced a decleration of war and assaulted the capital city of Port Royal.

### **End**

The war ended after Z5H2 had combat logged 4 times and had all his forces abandon the cause and retreat from the city. Z5H2 refused to surrender to RoP Forces so the RoP 1st Division blew up the Redstone Foundation Headquarters, Z5H2 stated that the foundation that he owned had nothing to do with him and it was a war crime, However Z5H2 would then accept the demands of the RoP Government and would officialy issue a unconditional surrenender to the RoP

### **Who Won?**

The November 16th Coup Attempt was a massive loss for the Freedom and Security Party who lost all their support and was their final nail in the coffin for the party and the openly fascist movement on the server. Z5H2 go into a period of regret leading up to his trial in a week later when he would be judged by the RoP Prime Minister and Millitary Commanders. Z5H2 would announce that his party may disband and later that day made a vote in parliament asking about permanetly banning the party, Before the law could actually pass though he would already disband the party announcing its dissolustion. He would stay as an independent MP until the November 20th Federal Election in which he would lose his seat.

## Factions in the War

### **Security and Freedom Party**

The Security and Freedom Party was one of the most controversial parties at the time on the server and came when there was a relative slow decline in political participation after many thought that a domination of the Polynesian Liberals and Democrats would last forever. The party sought to reverse this and establish themselves as a new party in which they would take over and establish Z5H2 as a dictaitor on the server and would change laws in order to "fix" the server. The party did not gain much popularity however and despite their messages thanking their followers for making them so popular on the server, (The original announcement saw a mispelling of popular to populator which lead to mass ridicule) they remained deeply hated by many players which lead to the Anti Fascist protests and then the coup attempt by the party.

### **Republic of Polynesia**

The Republic of Polynesia during this time were going through a period a instabiltiy due to a pattern of constant wars on the server, With only 2 weeks before the attempted coup the Halloween War broke out. This instability had made war a normalised event and many players on the server still had an idea that crimes could still be commited without big punishment as had been the case during the October 2021 Crime Wave that saw multiple companies commit mass criminal actions on the server and dominate the markets using them, The RoP Army had however been preparing for an attack like this for a while and were much better prepared, This would only increase over time making the coup attempt a real turning point for the rebuilding of the RoP Army.

Z5H2 was unable to lead a break out of forces from the old town and was constantly kept there despite his attempts to blow up various structures including Minister of Infastructure Amos private home and store alongside the old church in Port Royals old town, Z5H2 went on the run after being defeated in the church and combat logged multiple times before trying his look again when he was pushed into the river and forced to combat log for a 4th and final time to avoid being killd by a rain of arrows from the fighters.
