On May 10th, 2023 the government proposed the first constitutional amendment in almost a year. With unanimous government approval it would be sent to a public vote and on May 12th, 2023, the 1 year anniversary of the constitutions last amendment the vote would fail with only 58.7% approval instead of the needed 75%. | On May 10th, 2023 the government proposed the first constitutional amendment in almost a year.

The | On November 27th, 2023 integration periods were officially abolished. Integrations periods were an arbitrary amount of time given to a nation that wanted to join the NSR, it was to act as a state between not being associated with NSR and also being completely apart of it. Nations in an integration period had full perms to the discord but they were unable to run for office and vote in elections. integration periods were made so that there would be a time period where either the NSR or the integrating nation could step out with no strings attached if one, or both, of the parties did not like where it was headed. The main problem with the integration periods was the fact that there were no set criteria for what nations get integration periods and for how long. In most instances most nations would become fully integrated by the time an election come around so they would be able to vote. | ||
The month of November would see unprecedented use of the voice chat for the latter half of 2023. Despite the semi-inactivity of some government members the voice chats would see 15-20 people in them every day. The renaissance of activity in the discord would see the election for December break/meet the records for candidacy and election turnout. The December 2023 election would have the most votes since May 2023. | |||
Nations that would join the NSR in November 2023 were: Illinois (Nov. 24th, 2023), Quebec (Nov. 26th, 2023), Crawford (Nov. 26th, 2023), Malta (Nov. 27th, 2023), James_Bay (Nov. 28th, 2023), Faroe_Islands (Nov. 28th, 2023), and Ecuador (Nov. 28th, 2023) | |||
=== December 2023 === | |||
[[File:ProsersInauguration.png|300px|right|thumb|Picture from Proser's Inauguration]] | |||
Proser would win inconsecutive re-election as Hoyenah and the Chiefs would be wishful_, Carrot_Cake2002, and Blitey. | |||
Proser's inauguration would occur on December 3rd in Cork Castle, Proser's home town. The inauguration would see over 20 people in attendance. Proser would give a speech and afterward, as is tradition, would tour the republic with the Hoyenah Llama. | |||
The government would vote to withdraw from the Treaty of Bermuda, Treaty of Montpellier, and Treaty of Limoges on December 4th. All with unanimous government approval. | |||
Since February 2023 there have been discussions on changing the name of the North Sea Republic. The idea would waver in popularity throughout the months but the biggest reason that some people support a name change is due to the NSR's range exceeding that of the North Sea and some people believing that the name is restrictive. During the month of November 2023 the government said they would discuss the logistics of a name change but nothing would come of it. During the December campaigns candidate Proser said he would legitimately look into name changing suggestions. On December 4th, 2023 Hoyenah Proser along with the rest of the government would vote to open up suggestions in a name change. Overall reception of the name change was negative and the channel was closed a few days later. | |||
The government would unanimously vote to amend the constitution on December 22nd, 2023. Amending the constitution requires 3 branch approval so a public vote was necessary. This was the first time the constitution has been attempted at being edited since May 2023, that vote failed. There were 3 amendments proposed all which were voted on separately. The first proposed amendment was to remove the line, "No loopholes, technicalities or workarounds allowed for this document." The reason that the government cited for wanting to remove this is, "This line just makes the constitution more restrictive and forces a more literal view of it. The current constitution is renowned for being ‘background’ and this line just diminishes that." says Hoyenah Proser. The second proposed amendment was to lower the threshold from the public needed to change the election holder position. The constitution required 90% public approval to change the election holder the gov proposed to lower it to 70%. The third and final proposed amendment was to Article 2 Sections 1.2, 1.4 and 1.8. It changed various lines that amounted to the gov being able to remove citizenship from problematic individuals and to make lines more concise where they were misinterpreted. Hoyenah Proser said about the third amendment, "Basically enforcing the idea of ‘discord is a privilege not a right’, which has always been the case. The current constitution is self-contradicting and should be changed to remove confusion." | |||
The ballot to change the constitution would receive 35 votes. Out of the three proposals only the second won would reach the 75% threshold to pass. The first proposal would only receive 51.4% and the third proposal would receive 74.3% missing the threshold by only 1 vote. With the constitution being officially amended to change the threshold of appointing a new election holder this would mark the first time since May 12th, 2022 that the constitution was edited, the longest between two amendments in the republic's history. | |||
Nations that would join the NSR in December 2023 were: Tennessee (Dec. 2nd, 2023), Eritrea (Dec. 3rd, 2023), GB (Dec. 3rd, 2023), Britannia (Dec. 17th, 2023), British_Empire (Dec. 26th, 2023), and United_Kingdom (Dec. 28th, 2023). | |||

On the first of January overclaim would be introduced to the server. The old British community would return to the isles in the towns of Cardiff and Norfolk. The NSR government was able to make a border agreement with the town of Norfolk, but Cardiff failed to comply. The towns of London, Norfolk, Anglia, France, Manchester, Derby, Britain, and Cardiff would all participate in overclaiming the town of New_York. The town of New_York had been owned by an NPC since December of 2022 when player AtlasOpus (Argues) sold it to Fix. | |||
On January 17th, 2024 Chief wishful_ would resign from office and unown006 would take his spot as chief. | |||
The government would create a public vote to amend the constitution in order to uphold the idea that discord is a privilege not a right, both of the votes would pass reaching the >75% majority. | |||
On January 28th, 2024 Chief Star_Flare would resign as chief and EmilyBlunt would take their position as chief. Shortly after stepping down Star_Flare would be banned from EarthMC due to duping gold. Their nation, Tennessee, would be suspended from the North Sea Republic. | |||

Spencer54 would win election as Hoyenah for the month of February, their chiefs would be Joigrama, Carrot_Cake2002, and unown006. | |||

The terms of the agreement was mutual defense, recognition of borders, refrain from overclaiming, and aiding each other in future endeavors. The agreement would pass unanimously in the NSR government. | |||
The majority of the month was dealt working through a scandal that was made public in late January. The scandal caused the expulsion of many community members for the better of the republic. | |||
=== March 2024 === | |||
Hambellux would win Hoyenah for March 2024, defeating incumbent Spencer54. The chiefs would be Joigrama, Owry, and 32XenoKing | |||
Despite February being over the scandal still plagues the beginning of the month. Inactivity from government members could be attributed to fatigue caused by this. | |||
On March 12th, 2024 a non aggression pact was signed between the North Sea Republic and the USA led by Ghostyuu. It would pass unanimously in the government of the NSR. | |||
An initiative titled Project IKEA was put into effect on March 25th. The goal of this plan was to create a government sponsored and operated shopping center as a way to bring in funds for the republic. The shop would be in Ossory as well as part of eastern Limerick. | |||
Nations that would join the NSR in March 2024 were: Tennessee (Mar. 3rd, 2024), Norcallia (Mar. 12th, 2024) | |||

=== May 2024 === | |||
EchoOcelot would win election for Hoyenah for the month of May. The chiefs would be Carrot_Cake2002, Oce_78, and Hambellux | |||
The month of May would continue the downward trend of activity for the North Sea Republic. Voice channels on the discord would be at an all time low and recruitment was slow and Hoyenah EchoOcelot was almost entirely absent for the latter half of the month. | |||
During the final weeks of the month a surprise resurgence of activity would begin spearheaded by non-government community members. With campaigning for the following month opening up Owry would be seen as the main front runner promising a return of activity to the stagnating nation. | |||
Nations that would join the NSR in May 2024 were: Saint-Domingue (May. 17th, 2024). | |||
=== June 2024 === | |||
Owry would win election for Hoyenah in June after going through all the rounds of runoff in the election. The five chiefs would be wishful_, Spencer54, what__ok, LordWulf7947 and Oce_78 | |||
Despite the minimal activity from the month prior the anger towards the inactive Hoyenah would express in high turnout for the election. With the June 2024 election having 22 more votes than the May 2024 election. | |||
The month of June would show promise to a new age of activity for the nation, with the government being very active both in game and on the discord. | |||
During the month of June relations with Cascadia would sour due to nations in California, Norcal and Southern_California, joining the NSR. On June 27th, 2024 the North Sea Republic and Cascadia would pass the Treaty of Los Angeles, which established a Cascadian area and a grey area where both nations could claim. The treaty would pass unanimously by the NSR's government. | |||
=== July 2024 === | |||
Owry would win re-election as Hoyenah. The five chiefs would be, wishful_, whatok, Proser, Carrot_Cake2002, and Lucas2011 | |||
June and July in combination would bring activity back to North Sea Republic. Owry would be the first Hoyenah since March to move to the capital of Ossory after the nation of Ireland reached 100 nation bonus again. | |||
Despite Owry being seen as a good Hoyenah by the people, cracks would begin to show. Owry and his friends owned several large towns across the Isles, specifically the towns of Ireland (previously known as Peebles), Galloway, Bebbanberg, Noxus (previously known as Cardiff), Aletta, and Wales. All of these towns were gifted to Owry by members of the community. The town of Galloway was Owry's original town, but after Owry acquired Cardiff and became Hoyenah the town fell into inactivity, the town of Bebbanberg needed a mayor because the owner didn't not wish to keep it, so Owry took it over as to keep the town south of it, Manchester, in check. During the months of June and July the town of Edinburgh, owned by bubisen, would explode in population. They would merge with the town of Scotland north of them, and ask to take over the land that was Bebbanberg. Owry would offer to sell it to them for 1k gold, which the owner of Edinburgh thought was outrageous for the town. In reaction they overclaimed the town. This made Hoyenah Owry incredibly angry and he petitioned the government to have the town removed from the nation. The chiefs disagreed and said that because Owry didn't upkeep the town and let it be overclaimed that it was his fault. | |||
On July 31st, 2024, two days before the end of his term, Owry attempted to purge the discord and steal the nation of Ireland. Owry's attempted purge of the discord was thwarted by former Hoyenahs Joigrama and Hambellux. Owry was successfully able to take the nation of Ireland as well as the town of Ireland, but due to Owry's main town, Noxus, being held by someone the North Sea Republic government was able to take it from him, as well as most items looted from the capital. | |||
The discord was swiftly recovered and elections would be held like normal. | |||
=== August 2024 === | |||
=== September 2024 === | |||
Cubz_ would win election for Hoyenah, with the 3 chiefs being 4whatok, Proser, and Oce_78. 4whatok would resign after winning Chief and the position would fall to EmpressChloe. | |||

The Hoyenah is the name used by the elected leader of the nation. It comes from the Haudenosaunee word Hoyaneh which means "caretaker of the peace" and a title given to Haudenosaunee chiefs. The word was adopted for the republic in 2017, when leader Dayzle used the title. When the first leader was elected, the title was passed down. | The Hoyenah is the name used by the elected leader of the nation.
