Confederal Diet

The **Confederation Agreement**, officially the **Eastern Agreement for the Confederation of Sovereign States** was a separatist governmental organization treaty signed between Stapton, Braston, and Heyleswest in late 95;2E to work together against the government of the Southambian United Republic. Originally, the goal of the Agreement was peaceful autonomy and then independence from Southambia, but following the 96;2E Southambian Magistracy Election, and the takeover of the Agreement's government by the Sovereignty Movement, the goal has become violent, and it has resulted in the kickoff the Second Southambian Civil War.

## Government

### Chair of the Confederation Agreement

The **chair of the Confederation Agreement** served as the highest executive, legislative, and judicial officer of the Confederation Agreement. Throughout the Confederation's history, only two individuals have served as chair of the Confederation Agreement: Grimolf Bjorgulfsson and Audun Holmgavtsson. An individual could only serve as chair of the Confederation Agreement if they were elected by the confederal diet and maintained the confidence of the confederal diet. The powers of the chair were often described as being overtly tyrannical and authoritarian in nature.

### Confederal Diet

The confederal diet was the legislative and consultative assembly of the Confederation Agreement. First elected in 95;2E, the confederal diet would continuously exist until mid-98;2E when the Confederation Agreement collapsed. There were only two diets, with a single interim diet, that existed throughout this three-year period.

#### 1st Confederal Diet

The **1st confederal diet** was elected from the 23 to the 26 of Endings 95;2E. The National Democratic Party was the sole party to participate, although unofficially, in the election, winning all 12 of the seats up for election. Grimolf Bjorgulfsson was the PND's leader in this election, and when the 1st diet convened on the 10 of Beginnings 96;2E, he was elected as the first chair of the Confederation Agreement.

During this period, the Confederation Agreement slowly began to consolidate more power throughout the eastern provinces as local leaders began to support the Confederation. Stapton's governor at the time, Sigguatr Selkollrsson, began to support the Confederation, allowing it to openly operate in the Burg of Stapton. However, leadership change in the PND resulting the expulsion of all members of the confederal diet for supposed Loyalist affiliations, led to Bjorgulfsson's decline in popularity. Bjorgulfsson would resign on 11 Ending Earth 96;2E, with Audun Holmgavtsson, leader of the newly formed Sovereignty Movement, becoming chair of the Confederation the following day.

Holmgavtsson would immediately dissolve the 1st diet not long after taking office claiming it to be too-Southambian and not patriotic of the Eastern Provinces. In its place, Holmgavtsson would form the interim confederal diet, alongside banning the Resolution Movement. The interim diet consisted of individuals supportive of eastern independence and had little variation in opinion.

#### Interim Confederal Diet

The **interim confederal diet** was formed immediately after the dissolution of the 1st confederal diet. Unlike the previous diet, this one was not elected and was entirely appointed by Holmgavtsson, and had half of the seats of the 1st diet. The interim confederal diet lasted from Endings 96;2E to New Star 97;2E.

During the interim diet's tenure, the Confederation would declare insurrection against the federal government of Southambia following the reelection of Leonard Godsforth in the 96;2E Southambian Magistracy Election. The interim confederal diet would dissolve on the 3 New Star 97;2E and would be succeeded by the 2nd confederal diet.

#### 2nd Confederal Diet

The **2nd confederal diet** was structured similarly to the interim confederal diet but was meant to serve a more long-term purpose as opposed to its short-term counterpart. Members of the 2nd diet were appointed by Holmgavtsson, and only members of the sovereignty movement were appointed. The 2nd diet would serve as the final legislative assembly for the Confederation Agreement, as in 98;2E, both the diet and the Confederation would be dissolved.

### Battles and wars

Second Southambian Civil War

The **National Separation Movement** (Norse: *Nasjonal separasjonsbevegelse*) serves as the successor to the Central Confederal Committee. It took on all the roles of the CCC following its dissolution on New Star 3, 97;2E. It serves as the sole Government, Political, and Military organ of the Confederation Agreement. The legitimacy of the NSM was questioned much more than the CCC as it came from the dissolution of an incumbent government. The NSM has been described as a self-coup by Audun to instate himself as the sole leader of the Confederation Agreement. Despite this, infighting within the Agreement was sparse, and significant infighting was rarer, and was cracked down on significantly by The Answer, who are employed by the Agreement to maintain order within the Agreement. Nearing the end of the Civil War, The Answer broke all communications and ties with the Agreement following disputes on whether to continue fighting, or not. In Old Star 98;2E, several members of the Confederation's government met with Southambian officials to discuss the Confederation's surrender. On Old Star 7, 98;2E, the Confederation Agreement surrendered with Audun Holmgavtsson nowhere to be found.

## Confederal Diet

The Confederal Diet was the legisative-branch of the Agreement. It convened in Stapton.

### 1st Diet election

The Confederal Diet held a quick election from Endings 23 to 26, 95;2E. The National Democratic Party was the sole party to participate and win seats. The PND won all 12 of the seats up for election.

### 1st Confederal Diet

The 1st Confederal Diet convened in Stapton on Beginnings 10, 96;2E. It chose moderate Grimolf Bjorgulfsson as its leader. Following a change in leadership in the National Democratic Party, the party expelled and censured all members of the Confederal Diet. Following the expulsions, the diet splits into two distinctive factions. The Sovereignty Movement, which advocates for total independence from Southambia, and the Resolution Movement, which advocates for autonomy similar to that of Stotford. The Diet was dissolved in Endings 96;2E following the 96;2E Southambian Magistracy Election by Audun Holmgavtsson, following his appointment as Leader.

### Interim Confederal Diet

The Interim Confederal Diet was convened by Audun Holmgavtsson after the dissolution of the 1st Diet in Endings 96;2E. Holmgavtsson banned the Resolution Movement, and only appointed members of the Sovereignty Movement into the diet. It was dissolved in New Star 3, 97;2E, alongside the Central Confederal Committee.

### 2nd Confederal Diet

The 2nd Confederal Diet was convened by Audun in New Star 3, 97;2E, hours following the dissolution of the Interim Diet. The 2nd Confederal Diet consists of the same members from the Interim Diet, but with significantly less power. This Diet was described to have been convened as a result of a self-coup by Audun in order to instate himself as the Autocrat of the Agreement.
