The Laqi Free Republic was a short-lived state in southern Shireroth which declared independence simultaneously with Elwynn on August 4th 2010, under the reign of Kaiser B'Caw I. The Laqi seccession itself can be attributed to two factors- the feelings of the former Count of Modan-Lach and developer of the Laqi culture and ConLang, Maksim Hadjimehmetov that his cultural works had been disregarded and the Laqi mistreated due to the unpopular House System of subdivisions in Shireroth at the time, and the high levels of inactivity in the sector in the summer of 2010 and a somewhat less noble desire to 'stir things up a bit'. The Republic's seccession was not without controversy, as it led to a short and thankfully cold war between Ashkenatza and Shireroth. Ashkenatza's recognition of the fledgling state led to accusations that the Laqi Republic was an Ashkenatzi vassal state; the Laqi seccession would also damage relations between Ashkenatza and Antica. Ironically, however, the seccession of the Laqi and Elwynnese led to one of Shireroth's most active periods throughout the summer of 2010. The seccession was in part responsible for the overthrow of Kaiser B'Caw I and rise of Kaiser Ometeotl I in his place.
The Seccession
Upon the return of Maksym Hadjimehmetov to Shireroth, he found the Imperial Republic suffered low activity and an unpopular system of Imperial Houses instead of Baronies and Duchies. Appointed Count of Lywind instead of his ancestral lands of Modan-Lach, Hadjimehmetov felt angered at not being able to develop Modan-Lach and, finding a famine in Laqi lands, declared independence from Shireroth as the Laqi Free Republic. Whether or not Hadjimehmetov had malicious intent towards Shirereithan unity is a matter for debate- the Kaiser of the time argued he did not, whereas important Shirereithan citizens such as Erik Mortis argued he did. Nevertheless, the declaration of Laqi independence on August 4th outlined the exact limits of Laqi sovereignty, citing an ethnolinguistic map of the former Barony of K'Tzuni as its guide for borders to be drawn only around areas where ethnic Laqi were in a clear majority. The Provisional Government with Hadjimehmetov as its leader vouchsafed the safety of Shirereithan nationals in the region but also declared that Laqi no longer swore obedience to the Kaiser of Shireroth. The independence declaration was met with hostility, with Steward van der Sluijs giving Hadjimehmetov and his government just twenty-four hours to vacate Modan-Lach. Van der Sluijs also rejected talks with the Laqi Provisional Government. Despite the protestations of the Laqi Government that the young state wanted to live as a good neighbour to Shireroth, it was now clear that there could be no compromise on either side and war was declared.
The Laqi government took over the old Brookshirereithan Kehl in Brookshire Hamlet as its legislative assembly and, after a Jirga of Laqi Elders from across Modan-Lach was held, suspended democratic privileges to Laqi citizens, stating that 'every Laqi man, woman, and child supports this brave struggle', and that it 'would be an insult to their intelligence were the Emergency Provisional Government to descend into petty squabbling and division as a result of implementing parliamentary democracy so hastily'. The new Emergency Provisional Government geared up for war, renaming the Executive Head of State the 'Ulsә-Ҳan', meaning 'Khan of the People' in the Laqi Language. The old Brookshirereithan capital of Brookshire Hamlet was renamed 'Maksim-Ҳala' (in a homage to a macronational war to which the Laqi seccession was compared). Roadblocks and anti-aircraft batteries were installed in and around the capital city and sensitive border areas were mined by the Laqi irregulars who at this time were the Republic's armed forces.
