**The** **Adorian Situation**, or **PMA Uprising**, is a nationwide wave of extreme civil unrest and uprising in rebellion against the Federal Government.

Following long standing government policy primarily in foreign relations with Russia, China, and Saudi Arabia domestic life in Adoria would rapidly deteriorate until reaching a breaking point with the formation of the People's Movement for Action. In the destabilized political climate Fmr. PM SoleSol Gyldenløve would be assassinated by an unknown perpetrator. Amid the chaos 2 PMA members would also be killed; this event would be capitalized off of by the PMA who would exacerbate reactionary protests calling for a mobilisation on 4 June 2022 this would mark the beginning of the Adorian Situation Uprising.

The 77th National Assembly would vote to authorize military operation on the situation. Following this President King Adoria and the National Defence Council would execute Operation Foxtrot a special operation aiming at absolute quashing of insurgency throughout Adoria. Throughout the coming days government forces would make sweeping gains demoralizing the rebels.

## Background

In the early hours of February 24th 2022, President Putin would announce the start of a military operation to demilitarize Ukraine. Within Adoria, this would be met with much backlash beginning a complex Ukraine response. Such legislation had already been in progress due to Russia's longstanding temper and later that day the Adorian Foreign-Relation Initiative would be passed recognizing Crimea as Ukrainian territory under occupation, along with recognizing Taiwan as an independent sovereign country. China would take much offence to this and a week later would announce that after persistent rash behaviour from Adoria they would no longer be approving export permits from Adoria, effectively embargoing Adorian trade.

Adoria's harsh opposition to Russia's invasion would be crowned off with the General Sanctions Act. This bill drafted by Otto von Oldrich would call for large sweeping sanctions towards not only those involved with the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but also the US invasion of Iraq, international corporations destroying the environment, Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong, and other instances of international law violations. However this bill would narrowly fail primarily due to the US being a strong ally of Adoria. In the subsequent National Assembly, the 72nd NA would pass a revised version, the Sanctions Act II, which would be nearly identical except with sanctions against the US and international corporations removed. This law would be passed on March 23rd 2022.

On April 1st 2022, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia release an official statement perplexed that Adoria would restrict their access to Saudi oil during a fuel crisis and that sure enough would be bringing economic consequences upon themselves. China would reiterate their embargo due to Adoria attempting to interfere with their domestic affairs involving the Hong Kong SAR.

Though many had predicted Kyiv to fall within 96 hours of the invasion, Ukraine would surprise Adoria and the greater world with their unexpected unyielding morale. However Russia's prolonged blocking of Ukrainian ports would make a grain shortage inevitable.

Following the 75th general election and 32nd presidential election, the Social Democratic Party would triumph victorious winning the first leftist majority in Adorian history and a simultaneous presidential landslide. On May 1st 2022, re-elected President Reeves would appoint Bossman as Prime Minister of the newly formed 75th Government.

## Prelude

*Primary Source:* The Adorian Situation, Part One

On May 3rd 2022, Adoria would reach a breaking point and see spikes in vandalism, rampant prostitution and petty crime rates as life for the average Adorian had been in a continuous downturn. The cessation of cheap imports from China had driven up the prices of consumer goods, worsening relations with the Arab states had limited access to fuel and the conflict between Ukraine and Russia had doubled the cost of essential grain-based products such as bread and cereal. With economic mobility and opportunity stagnant, cynicism would sweep the Youth disillusioning them towards moral and mental vices. The National Assembly's countless initiatives and programs would prove useless with their historic blunders finally catching up with them.

With no end in sight many of the lower classes would begin to turn to radical ideologies bringing them into the mainstream. On the far right, the "Movement for Action" (MA) would rise to prominence after several provocative rallies in Mediterraneo's Arab neighbourhoods. On the far left, the "People's Movement" (PM) had experienced a steady increase in membership over the past several months in response to Basedification.

These circumstances, dubbed *The Adorian Situation*, would only be the beginning as the destabilization of Adorian society had only just begun.

### 75th National Assembly

The King Adoria Bloc would spearhead a national response to the situation via the National Assembly. KAB Leader King Adoria would pass the *Child Sex Work Act* establishing rehabilitation services and mandatory sex education for children 12-17 who had fallen into prostitution. KAB's Sinpar would soon follow up with his *National Assembly Security Measures*, expanding security in the NA with tear gas, metal detectors, cameras, and creating a nearby police station. KAB's Slim Pickens would attempt to amend the Sanctions Act II to drop sanctions on China and Saudi Arabia while keeping Russian sanctions, which had all raised consumer prices in Adoria. President Reeves would endorse Pickens' proposal, regardless it would fail.

Sinpar, who had since switched parties to LIM, would propose his Expanded Mediterranean relations and prosperity ACT. The bill would aim to apply to the USAID, a US foreign aid program that would provide agricultural relief and lower food prices in Adoria, the idea had originally been conceived by the KAB who would instead co-sponsor Sinpar's proposed application. However this bill would fail due to opposition to an included provision that would recognize Somaliland independence.

### Increasing Centralism

*Main Article:* 75th Government

The Bossman Cabinet would flock their colours as a hardline leftist government unequivocally pursuing a goal of a Sixth Republic. The SDP's Declaration of the Republic would propose abolishing democratic elections for Governors in favor of indirect elections held within the NA. A united opposition of all other parties would be able to hold off the proposal from reaching the required 2/3rds and on May 6th 2022, it would fail. The SDP would make no secret having opposed the Federation from the very start. Such a proposition would be unpopular among many Adorians who still supported the Federation or even a Confederation.

### Lavandi Independence

*Main Article:* Bleeding Lavanda

In the opposite direction of the Federal Government's centralist ambitions, many in the Lavanda Islands would even support full independence. Lavanda had previously passed a law in the previous term establishing a National Guard of 8,000 personnel; every state is required to maintain at least 1,000. On May 8th 2022, the Lavanda Independence Movement would officially be founded as a political party conveying the sentiment within the state. On May 11th 2022, Lavanda Governor Bot.org would officially hold an independence referendum within the state. The SDP would be in extreme opposition to this and even encourage party members to migrate into Lavanda in-mass to swing the results of the referendum in favour of Remain.

The Federal Government would take the occasion to crack down on separatist rhetoric including banning militias. The Lavanda National Restoration Front (sig) would be forcibly dissolved by the Feds for failing to comply. The Central Bank would suspend its Lavandi branch for the remainder of the term. Tapes of the National Defence Council would be leaked exposing half-hearted discussions on the possibility of a NATO intervention into Lavanda; President Reeves would later address this controversy revealing the NDC was merely considering options. On May 12th 2022, the referendum would conclude with **60.94%** in favor. PM Bossman however would not be open to opening negotiations or any dialogue with the Lavanda government and would ignore the referendum. After failing to reach any compromise, Lavanda Governor Bot.org would resign.

### People's Movement for Action

*Main Article:* People's Movement for Action

By now both the PM and MA had picked up steam holding protests and rallies in all manner of places such as Ador University and Ador City park. On May 13th 2022, the leaders of the PM and MA would announce at a rally their official merging to form the People's Movement for Action. PMA would be unprecedently announced as being the 2nd NPC party to ever exist in Adoria and would be participating in the upcoming 76th general election.

### 76th National Assembly

*Main Article:* 76th National Assembly

Following the 76th general election, the SDP would be re-elected into power, this time needing to coalition with the LD to achieve a majority under the agreement to not pursue centralist policy for the term. The SDP's pro-EU agenda would include reforming oil policy to pave way for future EU membership. Having now legalized gas extraction the SDP would propose the *Opening Up Adoria for Oil Act* that would authorize oil extraction in the oil-rich Outer Islands (not to be confused with the Lavanda Islands). The LIM would take much offence to this as the Outer Islands are located within Lavandi jurisdiction and had not been consulted; Lavanda Governor Shennogo would hold a referendum on the bill to tally the support for it in Lavanda in which **64.71%** of the state would vote against the SDP's initiative. Despite this the *Opening Up Adoria for Oil Act* would narrowly pass. President Reeves would sponsor a compromise by the LIM but the SDP would not be amused and would see to it the compromise failed.

KAB Leader King Adoria would propose his *USAID Application Act* but downvoting from the PMA would make it the 1st bill to ever fail due to PMA downvoting. Sinpar, who had since switched parties to ARP, would reintroduce his *Expanded Mediterranean Relations and Prosperity Act* this term. It would pass officially applying to USAID, however this revised EMRPA did not recognize Somaliland independence.

### 77th National Assembly

Following the 77th general election, the SDP would regain a majority of the NA but would lose the Presidency in the coinciding 33rd presidential election. Newly elected President King Adoria would appoint Bossman as PM of the 77th Government, Bossman's 3rd cabinet of his current premiership. On May 31st 2022, Leni would propose the *Adorian Values and Studies* requiring history and geography classes; this would be the first bill to pass due to PMA upvotes. On June 1st 2022, Lux Jefferson Jr. would propose the *Pride Month Act* federally recognizing June as LGBT pride month. The proposal would pass with a majority but CSM Leader Montiel would propose the *Investigation of Child Abuse in the Pride Movement in Adoria* in response to the recognition of Pride Month. Carlos' bill would call for molestation investigations into pride movement organizers and police surveillance of all pride parades. Carlos' bill would be based on the Fmr. SDP Leader Dekks' investigations into the foster care system and would call for all to upvote in bipartisanship especially as yesterday had been International Day for the Protection of Children. Nevertheless the bill would seem to fail but thanks to the PMA it would become the 2nd failed bill to pass.

### Assassination of SoleSol Gyldenløve

Following the 77th general election, many party leaders would appear on national TV giving post-election speeches. Of these speeches Fmr. LD Leader SoleSol who had resigned just 2 days ago would give one himself on June 2nd 2022. By now PMA hecklers had become a common fixture to these types of events and SoleSol would be no less a victim to their heckling. Once finishing his speech SoleSol would depart to his car which would unexpectedly be pelted with various trash and other harmless items. Once inside 2 gunshots would be shot into his car bringing the crowd into a frenzy of screams.

On June 3rd 2022, SoleSol, a private security guard, and 2 PMA hecklers would be confirmed dead. Amongst the chaos, the shooter would escape as the nation descended into protests nationwide. These protests would be exacerbated by the PMA who would reject calls for unity in favour of action, calling upon their supporters to partake in a "mobilisation" the next day which would certainly be more than just protesting. Police overextension and underfunding would leave the federal police unable to properly deal with the protests seen across the night.

## Day One

*Primary Source:* The Adorian Situation, Part Eleven

### June 4th 2022

On June 4th 2022, PMA's planned largescale protests would begin centered highly around Winleydon, Libeccio among other regions. With many feeling voiceless and as if there were no reasonable option left the protests would quickly turn violent escalating into riots, and then into small-scale insurrectionary uprisings. Reports of copycat uprisings of communists on the Synaro peninsula, and fringe uprisings in Ador City and the Lavanda Islands would soon follow. Being absolutely deprived of the necessary manpower and resources, the police union would declare a general strike as they would not dare to put their officers in futile danger by even attempting to deal with the uprisings in their current state except for isolated life-threatening incidents.

The nation would be confronted with possible ways to respond to such a development:

* **A:** Fund the police to safely deal with it. Such a course would take a long period of time to complete but low deaths, low injuries, high arrests, and high property damage
* **B:** Order the army to deal with it. Such a course would take a short period of time to complete but moderate deaths, high injuries, low arrests, and low property damage
* **C:** Try to negotiate with the leaders of the uprisings to disperse. Such a course would take a moderate period of time to complete but low deaths, medium injuries, low arrests, and low property damage

Army Commander Carpaccio would announce that the Adorian Land forces would not hesitate to fulfill any orders. Defence Minister Reeves would encourage all governors to cooperate with the federal government and allude to the President's ability to nationalize National Guards if necessary. Lavanda Bank Governor Havee would announce the district bank would be temporarily closing and the building would serve as a refuge for protesters, offering first aid and water in the meantime. Bank Chairman Soy would soon announce the central bank would take over operations of the Lavanda bank in the meantime. Justice Minister Lux Jefferson Jr. would enact a national firearms re-registration

The Finance Ministry, Infrastructure Ministry

The Adorian Revival Front would denounce the fascist uprisings and call for all parties to unite against the uprisings along with also removing mention of fascism from their manifesto. The Liberal Democrats would be aghast to the violence and would allude to Option A, LD Leader DANIEL!'s preferred choice. The Christian Solidarity Movement would take a similar stance refusing to consider using the military on their fellow countrymen. The LD, SDP, and KAB would all offer their party branches and HQs as places of shelter and refuge. The SDP would make clear they would be willing to resort to the usage of the military if necessary.

It must not be mistaken that these were not simply large-scale protests but violent uprisings. Despite calls for unity against the insurgents, a few would hold sympathies toward them, specifically the Lavanda Independence Movement. LIM Leader Shennogo would blame the ador city elites for what their incompetence had brought and as Governor he would welcome the rioters (dismissing them as protesters) and join the protests himself. Lavanda Bank Governor Havee would announce he would be joining the libertarian protesters as well. Lavanda Governor Shennogo would also mobilize 500 members of the Lavandi National Guard to protect the protesters, encouraging them to remain peaceful. He would also invite protest leaders to his office to talk with them.

Libeccio Governor Yannick and Synaro Governor von Bismarck would staunchly oppose such decisions by Shennogo and would describe the rebels as terrorists.

MNA Sinpar and SC Justice Cameron would announce they would be retreating from Ador City to secure themselves away from the anarchist insurgents. President King Adoria would announce that he and the National Defence Council would be remaining in Ador City prepared to carry out any potential response decided by the National Assembly.

### June 5th 2022

On June 5th 2022, Otto von Oldrich would announce he would be joining the anarchist protests against the SDP tyranny; he would quickly be expelled from the LD. By now it had become clear that the SDP with their majority would easily be able to pass the Military option into force. Vice President POGfish would defend such a view as there would be no other way to prevent adorian cities from falling into violent control by extremists. As the Federation's foremost military expert he would be criticized as being trigger-happy. Lavanda Governor Shennogo would threaten to mobilize the National Guard to defend his state against genocide if the Federal Government were to mobilize the Armed Forces. MNA Kurt Niederman would call for President King Adoria to depose Shennogo as Governor. Shennogo and Havee would take much offence to this as and call for the President to depose Kurt as MNA. Von Oldrich would call for citizens to join the protests to free Adoria from its fascist rulers. President KA would not depose either but with the support of the NDC would declare a State of national emergency on 27 different categories, effectively creating martial law. Libeccio Governor Yannick though opposing the terrorists would make it clear using the Libeccio Home Guard against their own citizens would be out of the question.

PM Bossman would play a largely quiet role besides passing his 77th federal budget which would include massive police funding increases. Lux Jefferson Jr. would propose the *Protect Adorian Integrity Act*, which would declare the People's Movement for Action a terrorist group along with expelling all of their 49 MNAs. The bill would pass nearly unanimously the next day.

### June 6th 2022

On June 6th 2022, Head Judge Arjona would issue a warrant for arrest for Governor Shennogo for treason. Arjona would be quoted as to saying, *“I totally wasn’t forced to do this”*. Governor Shennogo would be repulsed and declare he would be collaborating with the Government's political trial. Synaro Governor von Bismarck would demand the feds retract the warrant viewing it as deep moral and political corruption within the SDP. Arjona would clarify he was not coerced into issuing the warrant. Chief Justice Zedong would announce he had written the warrant and simply had Arjona issue it as the High Court was more appropriate for criminal cases.

In the meantime, Shennogo would describe the nation as befalling into the blackest pages of adorian history as the President had made a power grab by declaring a national emergency. He would also clarify that he only participated in peaceful protests, acknowledging that non-peaceful riots were occurring. Shen would by now be detained as *Adoria v. Shennogo* pended.

Libeccio Governor Yannick would reiterate that the Libeccio Home Guard would not act against civilians. Acting Lavanda Governor Bjorn would join with this stance. Airforce Chief Sim V would make public his sympathies toward the PMA, calling the rioters, *''people who want to stand up and finally put politicians (who are criminals in all but name) in their place''*, he would however make it clear he was loyal to the NDC and would fight them if necessary. DPM Dekks would call for Sim V's removal but Defence Minister Reeves and President KA would oppose such a move. Bank Chairman Soy would announce banks would no longer be used as refuge and threaten actions against loiters.

As it had now been 48 hours, an NA vote on the 3 response options would finally begin. It would uncharacteristically be presided by Server Owner Matthew V instead of the Vice President. The SDP would easily sweep the Military option into a firm majority. Though they did not have any seats, the Adorian Revival Front would also endorse the military option. SC Justice Cameron would criticize the SDP for attacking federalism instead of addressing the situation from the very start but would caution governors to not commit any illegal acts.

### June 7th 2022

The SDP would maintain a hardline stance against the terrorists. PMA sympathizers would blame the SDP while MNA Kurt Niederman would shift away responsibility instead blaming the failures of federalism. SDP MNA Tim Petrovic would be expelled from the SDP for sympathizing with the protesters. On this day Chief Justice Zedong would propose the Sedition Act of Adoria to the 77th National Assembly. This bill would propose harsh punishment for treason and sedition, even forbidding those convicted from holding political office while also strictly codifying the President's ability to federalize National guards in times of crisis, though this ability was already more or less given. Opposition to the Sedition Act would argue that advocating for a Sixth Republic would be banned by this proposal, the bill's author, Meow Zedong would dismiss this claim as a purposeful misinterpretation.

Lavanda Bank Governor Havee would announce the district bank would not be complying with the Central Bank's order to disperse refugees, in response Chairman Soy would suspend the Lavanda bank. Synaro Governor von Bismarck and Mediterraneo Governor Nepo would announce they would resist any attempts of their national guards being used against civilians. VP POGfish would rebut Governor Nepo who had previously incorrectly called Mediterraneo guard as being unequipped when in reality it was equipped he would argue it was in the civilians' best interest to utilize the National guard. Following this, Governor Nepo would announce the Mediterraneo guard would be willing to assist the federal government while foremost pledging to maintain as little death as possible. On this day the Supreme Court would issue Verdict 44 clarifying a constitutional dispute that governors cannot do EOs or have emergency powers as states operate under direct democracy.

**Uprising Response Vote 06.06.2022**
 B
 C

With the NA vote that had started the previous day finally concluding, **62.79%** would be tallied voting for the Military response, 32.56% for negotiations, and only 4.65% for the police response. With the response decided the nation would settle in for tomorrow.

## Day Two

*Primary Source:* The Adorian Situation, Part Twelve

### June 8th 2022

By now it had been become publicly known and announced by the Government that the National Assembly had voted for military intervention but it would still take time for the forces to mobilize. In the meantime reports would circulate of guns being present at uprising gatherings with an assault rifle even being spotted by one observer. It would also come to light rioters of all 4 ideologies were working together in their gatherings.

Acting Lavanda Governor Bjorn would announce the Adorian Armed Forces would only be allowed into Lavanda simply for non-lethal peacekeeping. Mediterraneo Governor Nepo would call for unity so that the citizens of Adoria could be safe at the end of the day. Havee would call for Lavandans to fight back against federal tyranny. On this day the Sedition Act would pass with over 2/3rds in favor. In response to this. Von Oldrich would reiterate his support for the protesters and call for the destruction of the oppressive state known as the Adorian Federation.

### SDP Schism

The government which had so far enjoyed the luxury of being a one-party majority would see this end when admins of the SDP server would coup SDP Leader Dekks due to a party expulsion vote of Dekks that had been mistakenly unenforced from December 2021. On the main server, staff would quickly comply with sdp bylaws. Dekks would be outraged that SDP admins would enforce an expulsion half a year late and would denounce them as even more autistic than Matthew V. Acting SDP Leader Bossman would quickly move to restore Dekks as both member and leader but it would prove futile as Dekks would announce he would not be rejoining the SDP.

### Lux V. Shennogo

The State of Adoria (represented by NA Speaker Lux Jefferson Jr.) would sue Lavanda Governor Shennogo (represented by SC Justice Cameron) for treason and incitation. On this day the trial would be held. The High Court would quickly come to the conclusion Shennogo's repeated statements on protests, genocide, tyranny, and Lavanda did indeed amount to both treason and incitation. The Defense would explore a strict constructionist view of the definitions of treason and incitation claiming his client as innocent especially as he claims to only have been in peaceful protests. With the court dismissing an officialized verdict would be expected the next day.

### Operation Foxtrot

With the Assembly having voted in favour of the military, President King Adoria would decree Operation Foxtrot, a complex military mobilization of the Adorian Armed Forces created by military strategist VP POGfish. VP POGfish would soon brief the nation on the commencement of the special operation stating that the federal government would be proceeding with their plans regardless of any interference by the states who could address their concerns to the NDC. Rioters would simply be detained and would only be shot if they aim a weapon at a member of the Armed Forces.

## Day Three

*Primary Source:* The Adorian Situation, Part Thirteen

### June 9th 2022

In the early hours, the HC would officially issue their verdict finding Shennogo guilty on both treason and incitation sentencing him to 4 years in prison barred from all government positions.

With the military mobilized it would take time for them to make their way into the cities, in the meantime uprising occupations would take the opportunity fortifying themselves such a major protester barricade in Ador City. PMA protesters would attempt to fortify this barricade with heavier materials from a Montiel Construction site, but would be warded off private security hired by the company.

In the meantime estimates of rebellions of national guards would be released. Additionally Royal Libeccian Arms' new assortment of assault rifles for sale would be estimated at causing ₺110,000 in property damage. Mediterraneo would mostly comply with the military while Libeccio, Synaro, and Lavanda would partially comply. No state would fully comply.

In response to these new developments, Premier Solutions would encourage other companies to hire private security such as themselves; SynCom Unlimited., a telecommunications company would take them up on this offer and signed a security contract while also announcing they would be cooperating with the Synaro Government in order to identify uprising leaders. Libeccio would pass the Home Guard Powers Expansion and Organization Act, enacting general expansion and organization of the Home Guard.

### June 10th 2022

Despite being responsible for increases in property damages, Defence Minister Reeves and President King Adoria would authorize Royal Libeccian Arms' request to be able to sell and transfer Gravis Transport Trucks. The National Defence Council's plans would focus on effectively executed Operation Foxtrot, focusing on Andel Anatolikos and attempts to isolate Porta la Renno from Ador City.

After repeated dissent, Havee would be removed as Lavanda bank governor by Bank Chairman Soy Trap. While in Synaro, Governor Curry von Bismarck would announce the state had voted in adopting the Third Constitution of Synaro, which would grant him a veto ability and reorganized the governorship to be the Lord-protector. Synaro had also passed a law formally recruiting the Adorian Oathkeepers (sig) to assist the Synaro guard promising they would not hurt civilians.

Shennogo would appeal his treason trial to the Supreme Court on the grounds of procedural error. Justices LastCelebration and James Greene would support an overturn of the verdict citing procedural error and also a violation of free speech. CJ Zedong would support a simple remanding of the case back to the HC due to procedural error, while Cameron would excuse himself due a conflict of interest in being Shennogo's defense. While the case would continue on into the next day it had already become apparent Shennogo's verdict would indeed be overturned to some capacity.

Dekks and many SDP defectors would found the 5th United Workers Front, while the Adorian Federalist Party would remain pending for the meantime. Other parties would begin campaigning for the upcoming 77th general election. The last bill for the term would be the SDP's *Reduction of Work Hours Act* which would enact a 4-day work week however it would inevitably fail due to the PMA.

### June 11th 2022

Bank Chairman Soy Trap would appoint Big Ben to be the new Lavanda bank governor, filling the vacany left by Havee. Synaro Governor von Bismarck would announce the Adorian Oathkeepers (sig) would be dismissed due to being an illegal organization. The Supreme Court would reach a majority in favor of Shennogo, LC would be tasked to write the verdict to officialize the opinion of the court. Many would criticize the court as being vastly biased by this decision blatantly siding with Shennogo. The day would be capped off with the 78th general election starting; an SDP majority or plurality would be anyone's guess with the Uprisings in full swing.

### June 12th 2022

SC Justice LastCelebration would confirm to the court he would indeed be writing the Shennogo overturn verdict and would begin to do so. For a second day in a row political parties would be more focused on the election cycle than on the uprisings. After 24 hours, GE78 would conclude.

### June 14th 2022

Shennogo wouldn't be the only one who had been sued by Lux Jefferson Jr. for treason, Havee would also receive the same treatment but due to Havee repeatedly failing to comply with the trial, Head Judge Arjona would issue a court summons for Havee to appear at trial tomorrow. The Supreme Court would finally deliver the Shennogo overturn verdict as Verdict 45 freeing Shennogo from his imprisonment. The verdict would be highly criticized for describing news reports of violence as being overblown, and that Shennogo's actions were protected by free speech; many would compare it to the United States' Supreme Court.

### June 15th 2022

ARP Leader Big Ben would leak an NDC document on plans to spy on peaceful PMA members who were not rioting and included provisions on the usage of attack helicopters. Synaro Governor von Bismarck would criticize Operation Foxtrot's helicopters as being an incoming slaughterhouse.

Defence Minister Reeves would respond within the hour quickly wiping the doc blank and transferring the contents to a classified location; he would also remove Carpaccio, Soy Trap, and Sim V from the NDC as they were inactive and only liabilities, he would also take the occasion to add Liimur to the NDC who had returned from a 3.5 month hiatus just 2 days ago. President King Adoria would issue a statement that the helicopters would simply be used for surveillance.

After failing to appear before court, HJ Arjona would issue a *Warrant of Arrest* for Havee arresting him. All governors would announce intention to run for re-election.

### June 16th 2022

With the 78th National Assembly opening business would resume. Following the 78th general election, the SDP would be reduced to a plurality and as government submissions open they would plan on pursuing an SDP minority government once the minority grace period finished.

The removals of Army Commander Carpaccio and Grand Admiral Soy Trap yesterday would mean vacancies which would today be filled by Defence Minister Reeves with Liimur as Army Commander and Soy Trap as Grand Admiral again. Though Soy would soon resign from this post due to indifferences with the NDC on what role the Navy would be playing in Operation Foxtrot.

The Sedition Act of Adoria, which had been passed by Meow Zedong to prohibit advocating for succession or destruction of the country had since been sued by Von Oldrich under claims it went too far in restricting free speech and was politically motivated. This case would prove peculiar as both the plaintiff and the defense were SC justices. Prosecution would argue the ability of the NA to regulate free speech did not imply the ability to ban any speech they disagreed with; the logic of banning separatist movements could be used to ban any political movement. Defense would argue the law was simply aimed at non-democratic advocations and was within reason. The Supreme Court would unanimously agree (Zedong and Von Oldrich would excuse themselves from voting) to strike down the Sedition Act with Verdict 46. Politically the verdict would be a major drawback to the federal government.

SC Justice Greene had yesterday invoked Article 61 calling for CJ Zedong to reopen Lux v. Shennogo (Verdict 45) on the grounds of the case being impeded by political bias. Zedong would accept and re-deliberate the case. Today the SC would find in a majority that V45 was simply a remand and not an appeal/retrial, meaning the case would be re-tried in High Court putting Shennogo on trial for treason again. SC Justice LC would take the dissent in the case regarding it as politically motivated as no new evidence was present. Nevertheless Verdict 47 would be issued.

### June 17th 2022

UWF's MarcZucc would propose the *High Court Trial Procedure Amendment* a bill simply codifying HC procedures for the future, it would go on to pass unanimously. The long delayed merger of the 2nd Adorian Reform Party, Lavanda Independence Movement, and Adorian Revival Front would finally be officialized forming the Adorian Federalist Party. With gubernatorial elections concluding, all 4 incumbent governors would be re-elected.

## Day Four

*Primary Source:* The Adorian Situation, Part Fourteen

### June 18th 2022

By now the mobilization of the Adorian Armed Forces, with assistance from the Mediterraneo Guard, was in action with troops arriving into major population centers officially beginning military conflict. Rebels had fortified themselves in their positions ready for violence; Verdict 45 had emboldened them now knowing that their violence would fall under free speech (the news of V47 had not yet reached them), massive activity on twitter and facebook would encourage many to join in.

President King Adoria would quickly announce that the military's next actions would be taken with the advice and consul of the NDC just like all have so far. He would later announce that the 78th Government had mistakenly been fluked as the SDP waited until the deadline ended instead of before it this would trigger the 77th Government remaining as caretaker for the term.

### June 19th 2022

On this day the Police Powers Limitations Act would be proposed by the AFP requiring the Federal Police to use body cameras along with codifying de-escalation into the Police guidelines. PM Bossman would choose to resolve the government crisis by VONCing the 77thGov and simply implementing his planned SDP Minority Gov via the new submissions. MarcZucc who had sued Operation Foxtrot for violating the free speech of rioters would have his case dismissed for failing to submit arguments.

## Day Five

*Primary Source:* The Adorian Situation, Operation Foxtrot Continues

### June 20th 2022

Operation Foxtrot would continue in thrilling success; the Adorian Navy would patrol the waters while the Air Forces provided surveillance over rebel-held cities. The Land forces would make victory after victory easily making large gains on all their objectives. National Guards would pursue their own agendas achieving positive results. Facebook and Twitter would both decide to suspend accounts of rebel leaders and the PMA. Rebels would make minor movements but overall had made substantive losses. Libeccio Governor Yannick would announce he had authorized the Home Guard to now be able to utilize force against the rebels.

Fmr. Emperor Ethan would sue CJ Zedong for abuse of authority since the original Verdict 46 had been drafted by David Cameron but Meow had denied the verdict due to bias in it and instead LastCelebration would draft Verdict 46, a case in which Meow was the defense and thus had personal interest in.

As the Supreme Court had issued Verdict 47, Lux v. Shennogo would officially be remanded back to the High Court. In this do-over it seemed as if Shennogo would easily be sentenced to 4 weeks in prison.

CJ Zedong would issue a cease and desist ordering the Synaro Government to suspend its *Home Raids Act* until its constitutionality could be determined. This Synaro law made it legal for the provincial government to raid houses on the suspicion of being a rebel. Governor von Bismarck would announce the province would be complying. A VONC against him would be initiated in Synaro however it would fail to reach the required 2/3rds.

The Assembly would see a spike in pro-government legislation with the Official Secrets and National Security Act of 2022, Insurrection and Riot Act of 2022, and Adorian Security Service Act all being proposed and would go on to all pass.

The Lavanda Government would receive military advisors from Libeccio along with attempting to purchase weapons from the Royal Libeccian Arms but due to the uprisings diplomatic networks would be down making the Federal government unable to purchase weapons and thus could not authorize the request. After the Shennogo trial was thrown out, Lux Jefferson Jr. would defect to the rebels and would call Adoria a corrupt system.

Lux's political suicide would be made complete when the High Court would bar him from holding any legislative or executive position for 2 weeks due to violating the NLPA when he was NA Speaker by refusing to let Shennogo speak on June 18th 2022 despite Shen was yet to be convicted of any crime.

SDP's plans to form a Minority government would be brought to an end when being informed by Server Owner Matthew V that VONC'd governments need to be replaced by a majority government and not a minority gov, as this had failed to happen a snap election would now be held but would be ignored by the Election Commission due to how soon the next election was.
