Early History of The Democratic Republic Book
Prologue
- The histories of The Democratic Republic and The Democratic Commonwealth are interconnected. In The Democratic Commonwealth, there was a nation known as America JB. This nation, America JB, won the Presidential election under his party, the Democratic-Republicans, in February of 2018. Shortly after the election was concluded, the court in The Democratic Commonwealth issued an order forcing all newly elected officials to resign and comply with the court order. President America JB refused to follow such an order as he saw it as an overreach and unconstitutional.
- As a result, he and a few other nations, including Capital AL, Federalist Unions, and Chewion were banned from The Democratic Commonwealth in early February 2018. From there, Chewion founded a region known as The Democratic Union. America JB and Capital AL joined Chewion in this endeavor. But, shortly after its founding, Chewion left the region. Seeing as The Democratic Union had no founder, America JB and Capital AL left the region and founded The Democratic Republic on March 28th in 2018. This history book is of the early and early modern periods of the region from 2018 to 2022. During this time, an establishment of the regional culture, community and laws took place.
Chapter 1: Founding of TDR (March 28, 2018 - August 16, 2018)
- The Democratic Republic was founded by America JB and Capital AL on March 28th in the year 2018. As the Constitution was being ratified, nations like Federalist Unions and Canton joined the region to help in the endeavor. The population of the region for the entire founding period was very stable at just around 30 nations, and this was a good sign on how the region was going. But, shortly after its founding the region was thrust into a period of political dismay with problems arising. To many in the region, the Constitution was plagued with contradictions and the laws were poorly written.
- So, following the election of Canton as Consul of The Democratic Republic, he purposely broke the law and sabotaged the functions of the Regional Government to show those flaws. These actions were seen as reckless and toxic by a portion of the region. As a result of these actions and the growing tension in the region, it was apparent that this would destroy The Democratic Republic if it’s left as is. So, the founders formed a chat with the other active members of the region and there was unanimous support for banning the nations of Federalist Unions and Canton to restart the region anew with a new Constitutional convention.
- Though, during the time of the political turmoil and before the multiple bans, talks of a Constitutional convention started in July of 2018, with drafts being proposed. One of the most prominent nations in those discussions, Landinium, assisted in the authoring of Article Seven, which is a foundation article. It was meant to assist in the making of a more wholeful Constitution by providing a foundation for the Legal system, styling and procedures for legislation and rights of Citizens in election. The Article was and still is very important in the enduring of the Constitution.
Chapter 2: Second Convention & Renewed Region (August 16, 2018 - January 31, 2019)
- After the passage of the Second Constitution of The Democratic Republic on August 2018, the region turned to electing its first Consul. In the Consulship election it was America JB versus Capital AL. America JB won that election and became the first Consul of The Democratic Republic on August 16, 2018. During his term in office (August 16, 2018 - August 31, 2018), America JB passed the first Constitutional Amendment, which edited the powers of Founders in the Constitution by giving them the ability to revoke Citizenship.
- Then came along the second Consul of The Democratic Republic, Saratoga (September 1, 2018 - September 30, 2018). Who won in a heated election that had to be decided in a Supreme Court ruling. In the ruling, “The Supreme Court has declared the votes of Oslowtown, Piranaalya and New Urals unconstitutional and void due to puppetry and electoral fraud. The Supreme Court hereby confirms Saratoga as the Second Consul of the Republic and winner of the September Consul election.” This court case was presided over by Chief Justice Dukna. Saratoga went on to sustain the region’s population.
- After the Saratoga Consulship, America JB won back his old job of Consul by an election victory against Fr0sia. In America JB's second tenure (October 1, 2018 - December 1, 2018) as Consul, he went on to be the first Consul to serve two consecutive terms, winning his re-election on November 1st. During his second tenure in office, America JB passed Amendments 2, 3, 4, and 5 to the Constitution. These amendments covered topics from Judicial structure, Cabinet composition and the Speakership. After his tenure, a new nation in the region rose to political posture.
- Cutroajan won the December Consulship election (December 2, 2018 - January 31, 2019). During his time in office, The Democratic Republic invaded The Democratic Commonwealth in a preemptive strike due to fears of a take over. The Democratic Commonwealth previously were spying and threatening the region. From that point on, a long war between the two region’s took shape. During Cutroajans term, he passed legislation such as the War Powers Act, Embassy Act, and the World Assembly Act. His most famous quote was, “This is going to be a long war”. Which was his response to the developing war.
Chapter 3: Progressive Era (FEBRUARY 1, 2019 - August 31, 2019)
- With the Consulship election of Porto Verde in February of 2019 against America JB and Burgundyland, the region entered a new Progressive era. In this era, many reforms took hold and the war with The Democratic Commonwealth fell silent with a brief cease fire agreement. Porto Verde’s administration in fact signed a treaty with the Commonwealth Federation. America JB then wins back the Consulship in March of 2019. After America JB’s term, he decides not to run for re-election. Leaving a race between Timjoa and Celestials in the April 2019 Consulship election. Celestials ends up winning that race and serving as Consul for the April term. Celestials decides to run for re-election in the May 2019 Consulship election but is defeated by Azadliq. Azadliq goes on to pass a couple reforms to the region.
- With the Progressive era looking to come to an end, the Progressive party under Porto Verde defeated America JB in a landslide with Omnise as the candidate to do so in the June 2019 Consulship election. In the July election, Timjoa wins against Fr0sia and keeps Democratic-Republicans relevant. The Progressive era is about to come to an end and bring the region into the modern era with the reforms by Azadliq after he wins the August election against Timjoa’s re-election bid. During his term in office, Azadliq passed reforms, amending the Constitution to revise the Consul’s term. Azadliq then goes on to nominate himself for Justice and is confirmed on August 25, 2019.
Chapter 4: Sustained Growth Era (September 1, 2019 - July 16, 2020)
- With that, a new nation in the region is thrown into the spotlight, United Trev is made Consul, serving for the rest of the August term. United Trev’s term as Consul was short lived though as Porto Verde beat United Trev in the September 2019 election. America JB goes on to beat United Trev and Porto Verde on October 20, 2019. Right after the Consulship election, Azadliq proposes and passes a Constitutional amendment on October 27, 2019 to require a nation be in the World Assembly to become a Citizen. During America JB’s term in office, he brought an end to the war with The Democratic Commonwealth after days of negotiations on a peace agreement. The agreement doesn’t go as planned though once things begin to turn toxic in the region.
- With the turmoil that ensued, United Trev won the Consulship election on November 24, 2019, after the Senate voted on a recall against America JB. During Trev's term, he successfully pulled out of the treaty and banned The Democratic Commonwealth members that the treaty under America JB let in. In the Consulship election on January 4, 2020 United Trev lost to Porto Verde, giving the Progressive era a final month. With that, Porto Verde served the longest tenure in The Democratic Republic history. His tenure in office stretched from January 4, 2020 - March 31, 2020. During that period, there was much debate on the term of the Consul and a Constitutional Amendment was passed to make the term back to one month. Porto Verde also expanded The Democratic Republic’s diplomatic outreach during this term in office.
- United Trev then regained the Consulship by defeating Vulshine in the April 2020 Consulship election. During that term, United Trev rebuilt the regional military and won multiple short wars. This seemed to give him a chance at re-election, but America OG beat Trev in the May 2020 election and won re-election on June 1, 2020. America OG went onto resign in middle of his term in which Amacoly become the Consul to finish the month of June. With that, America JB won his way back to the Office of Consul in the July 2020 election, in which he helped to negotiate the passage of a reform to the regional Constitution, leading to a new age in The Democratic Republic politics.
Chapter 5: Reform Era (July 17, 2020 - January 31, 2021)
- With a massive Amendment ratified on July 17, 2020, the Constitution has a different look to it. The Constitutional structure of the government is a compromise between the ideal parliamentary regime and the previous system The Democratic Republic had. This type of reform came about after negotiations by the Progressive and Democratic-Republican Parties in the region. On August 1st, 2020, United Trev won election for the office of Consul. Under his term, the regional population boomed with his recruitment program. The population reached to around 175 nations, breaking records for population in The Democratic Republic. Consul United Trev went on to pass massive economic legislation to set up a economic system in the region.
- In the month of September 2020, The Democratic Republic and The Democratic Commonwealth signed a peace accord which passed the Senate of both regions and was successfully ratified into law. This accords ended any hostilities between the two regions and allowed nations to move from region to region with consent of the governments. Though, the treaty collapsed shortly afterward once The Democratic Commonwealth pulled out.
- With the Progressive party vying to get the Consulship back, they nominate a new rising star nation named N0sm4. N0sm4 went on to defeat Amacoly in the October 2020 election to become the next Consul of The Democratic Republic. This though did not mean that the battle between the pro and anti Praetor system ended. In fact, on November 3, 2020, the region ratified the amendment that unified the executive and the region returned to a Consul, Senate and Supreme Court system. N0sm4 went on to serve from October 1, 2020 to January 31, 2021, putting the region on track for a second progressive era.
Chapter 6: Second Progressive Era (February 1, 2021 - May 30, 2021)
- With the record breaking tenure by Progressive Consul N0sm4, the region entered a new era known as the second Progressive Era. The Democratic-Republican Party tried preventing losing another Consulship, so Capital AL ran on the Democratic-Republican ticket against Basel on the Radical Centre Alliance ticket. Basel turned out to ultimately win that February 2021 Consulship election through a landslide and become the next Consul of The Democratic Republic. With the Senate strongly in Progressives favor after United Trev (DR) being impeached and Progressives winning that seat, the Democratic-Republican party was eager to rejuvenate their party and platform to compete in the March 2021 elections. Through April and May, the region has faced problems with recruitment and inactivity. Leading to many discussions on the future of the region.
Conclusion: Regional Renewal (May 31, 2021 - October 2022)
- The Democratic Republic passed constitutional amendment and movement to change aspects of the region's government and culture on May 31st, 2021, conclusion of Checratia's term as Consul. These changes included new flag, new electoral system for Consulship and new motto. The region continued trying to revive the regional culture throughout the summer months. Then, the region passed the Third Constitution of The Democratic Republic on November 9th in the year 2021. This is where they established a new government system. The first Consul under this system was Helvatica who served from November 10, 2021 - December 2, 2021. Then, Akbar Union took over and served from December 3, 2021 - December 6, 2021. After Akbar Unions resignation, United Trev won a special Consul election in December 13, 2021. In regards to the Premiership, BradK served as Premier from November 11, 2021 to November 26, 2021. BradK became the first Premier in The Democratic Republic's history and became the first Premier from the Democratic-Republican Party.
- Timjoa took over, being voted in on November 26, 2021. After Timjoa's time as Premier, Porto Verde was inaugurated on January 13, 2022 serving until April 3, 2022. Porto Verde's term was one of the longest Premier terms in the region's history and he became the first Progressive Premier. From there, the Federalists took over with the Premier Jaaver Gabonso on April 3, 2022, serving only for a couple days, ending up being replaced by fellow Federalist Valator on April 13, 2022. With a progressive Premier in Vulshine in May 2022 to June 2022, a DR Premier in America JB from June 2022 to August 2022 and back to a Progressive premier in Myriadiak from August 2022 to October 2022 the region was fairly split. Then, Cutroajan took over the job as Premier, seeing a resurgence in the regional population and saw a large reform package that saw the region's name change to 'The Democratic Republic of Valeria'.
