Meckelnburgh Partition
By the late 1710s AN, sectarian division escalated between mainland Meckelnburgh, inhabited principally by the Meckelnish, and the arctic peoples of the Britannics and Froyalaners, who lived in Hergilsey. These conflicts centered on the limited recognition that the regional minority peoples enjoyed under Meckelnburghish law, including limited access to speak the language of their peoples. Protests erupted in Hellani on 10 Mae/VI, 1720 AN followed by riots at the Stadium of Fire in Fríða.
Acknowledging the traditional rift between the mainland and northern Meckelnish peoples, Queen Ĉielero III decreed a referendum for Hergilsey autonomy under the Meckelnburgh constitution for the third week of Quintile/IX, 1721 AN. Residents of Hergilsey as well as all ethnic Britannics and Froyalaners in Meckelnburgh were eligible voters. On 15 Quintile/IX, 71.2% of voters agreed to the Meckelnburgh Partition and to create an autonomous community. The Palatinate of Hergilsey was enacted on 1 Sextile/X.
