Nova:Accordo Crisis

The Accordo Crisis (or British Secession or English Civil War) is a diplomatic conflict / schism that occured in the Accordo-based British administration, leading to the split of the British Isles and the death of the Commonwealth. It began on 18 February 2022 as the British king MineHero43 was banned along with other officials and mayors.

Background

After much of the British leadership was banned (Minehero43, AngloistVK, and Wither255) on February 18, 2022, leadership was temporarily given to RoseBrugs, and the position of Prime Minister (held by Gabeee) was dissolved. RoseBrugs later proclaimed herself as permanent Queen-Empress, and changed the government from Accordo to secular.

The administration became unpopular, as Accordo went against the new British government, and when Norfolk (a major town in England) fell in 12 March 2022, it was the last straw for many citizens. After this event there was a battle in the ruins of the city, while Spain and Austria claimed almost the entirety of its lands.

Early War

After internal conflicts intensified and instability grew, RoseBrugs proclaimed independence from Britain as Wales. This angered much of the British leadership, who did not want the creation of a Wales nation. Following this, the nations of Denmark and Ireland were created by former British mayors MapleVK and Jooey83, respectively.

Subsequently, The Second North Sea Empire was formed by Norway, Scotland, Sweden, Ireland, and Denmark. Unlike its predecessor, it is decentralized, with no single nation presiding over the rest. The Commonwealth also essentially ended, as all North Sea Empire nations, Quebec, and Indochina left, leaving only Wales and inactive nations.

Conflict

In the early days, Spain has already planned a foothold over Britain with its occupation of Little St James and parts of Norfolk. The German Confederation has established their presence with an existing town claiming from the south, and a new josephinist diocese. Later on, Sussex seceded and joined Italia.

However, on the 4th of April 2022, Cripto became the new mayor of London. This caused Yorkshire and Edinburgh to secede from Britain, weakening the nation even further, cementing the Petty Kingdom Era over the British Isles. Dublin also fell into ruin, which led to the plundering of some of the oldest buildings in Europe. Groningen (an old Angevin Empire aggressive front against the Europa Pact) also finally fell and was claimed by Friesland. In retaliation, Britain started dissolving all towny alliances en masse.
