The Free Elwynnese Republic, officially known as the Elwynnese Republic, is an independent and sovereign state which, while it claims all of the Elwynnese territory as it was prior to the Second Elwynnese Civil War, exercises jurisdiction only over the archipelagos of Cimmeria and Raikoth. It considers itself the legal successor of the Elwynnese Republic that was founded in 1671.

For a while, it was known as the Republic of Elwynn and Amokolia in an effort to rouse support from the Amokolians. The legal succession to the Elwynnese Republic was by the legislatures of Amokolia and Upper Elwynn on 12.II.1692, and ratified by their respective legislatures the same day, in a unified congress.

The ideology of the Republic could initially be summarised as the "two-Elwynn doctrine", whereby the Republic reluctantly accepted that there would be two governments of Elwynn, each ruling according to its own ideology, one nationalist-humanist and one democratic. However, towards the end of 1695, it became increasingly evident that the world would not accept a two-Elwynn doctrine. The REA government thus claimed the entirety of the Elwynnese territory, called the government by Princess Kamilla Winther illegitimate, and claimed further that the move from the Elwynnese Republic to the so called Great Elwynnese State was a nationalist-humanist ploy to de-emphasise the democratic and republican nature of the Elwynnese politic. As such, on 13.XIV.1695, the REA government declared itself to have been a transitionary safeguarding government for the Elwynnese Republic. It passed a "constitutional amendment" to the original 1671 Elwynnese Republic constitution, where the autonomous republics were abolished, and the Congress of the Elwynnese Republic reinstated to cover the entire nation. The REA leadership would remain in place until regular elections could be held. At the same time, the capital of the REA was de facto moved to Wolfraven, in Cimmeria. Simultaneously, the REA rebranded the legal name of its polity as the Elwynnese Republic, while using the Free Elwynnese Republic to highlight its independence and freedom for the humanist-ridden south. It therefore sees itself as the legal successor to the Elwynnese state that came to be during the Kalirion Fracture.

Background

The Republic of Elwynn and Amokolia was formed as a response to the Elwynnese government's continued attacks on democracy and the freedoms and liberties of the people. The executives of Upper Elwynn and Amokolia began secretly planning the secession following the 1689 Normark coup d'état. With covert meetings with their parliamentary parties, the planning was done without the knowledge of the Elwynnese central government. The Upper Elwynnese and Amokolian delegates to the Council of Eliria continued to meet there, changing their overt rhetoric to a more patriotic and supportive statement of the reign of Princess Kamilla Winther.

The declaration of martial law in Vijayanagara, following a radiological incident in the city on 19.XIII.1691 AN, upset the careful timetable of preparations that the autonomous republics had agreed upon. The heavy handed intervention of the Court of the Prince in mandating an immediate evacuation of the city as well as its efforts to censor coverage of the role of the naval dockyards in the catastrophe, resulted in a groundswell of anger towards the central government that had to be acknowledged by the government of Upper Elwynn. Whilst this incident would legitimate the intended end state of secession it would necessarily incur the ire of the Court of the Prince and attract the hostile attentions of the Court of Star Chamber upon those politicians who would take up the call to hold the UDF and government to account.

Finally, on 12.II.1692, a Unified Congress was called in Glenfiddich (to be as far as possible from any retaliation from the Court of the Prince or the UDF) whereby members of the majorities in both legislatures were invited to attend. The opposition parties were left out from the invitation, and were taken by surprise by this act.

The Unified Congress adopted its first resolution minutes after electing its Chair, Benjamin Sluyjs, and Secretary, Pedyr Mekaarveq. The resolution began: We, elected members the Congress of Upper Elwynn and the Diet of the Union of Amokolia, constituting the majority in both legislatures, have resolved, as follows..... Thereafter, the resolution delimited the crimes of the government of Kamilla Winther, denounced the ideologies of national humanism and Babkhi supremacy, and then the resolution established the Republic of Elwynn and Amokolia, with a temporary constitution and flag. It called upon all bailiwicks to adhere to the resolution, as it reflected the democratic will of both Upper Elwynn and Amokolia.

The Union Defence Forces present in the new Republic were to be reorganized into the "Self-Defence Forces of the People and Republic of Elwynn and Amokolia" (SDF).

Government

The local authorities in Cimmeria and Raikoth have established a provisional government of the Free Area of the Elwynnese Republic (i.e. the territory under the jurisdiction of Free Elwynn). This provisional government is planning to elect a new congress and prince. The government has banned the Democratic Party of Elwynn and Nationalist and Humanist Party has terrorist organizations, and thus, the legal parties expected to participate in the elections are the Ayreonist Alliance, the Verionist Union, the Union of Truth and Beauty, the Elwynnese Workers' Party, and the Holy Party of the Divine Icebear.

Prior to the Scouring, the government (known as the "government of Elwynn and Amokolia") was as follows:

International relations of Free Elwynn

See Foreign relations of Free Elwynn

The international relations of the Free Elwynnese Republic are complicated and hindered greatly by the one-Elwynn policy that has been adopted by both claimants to Elwynnese sovereignty. As of 1696, only three internationally recognised countries have established relations with Free Elwynn: Calbion, Kalgachia, and Zeed.

Economy

From the outset of the secessionist rebellion the new republic repudiated the Elwynnese Mark and attempted to default back to the Natopian natopo (₦), as a stable and internationally recognised currency. However, as the rebellion and civil war broadened into a fight against the Raspur Pact the territories of Amokolia and Upper Elwynn found themselves progressively isolated from the Pact's Natopio-centric fiscal and trading network. As an interim work around, in view of the rapidly depleting reserves of Natopian currency available to the separatists, the Ministry of Finance on 8.XV.1692 AN introduced the New Unity Script (₰), a fiat digital currency with exchangeable QR code tokens, that would enter general circulation on 1.V.1693 AN at a fixed mandatory exchange rate of ten New Unity Script to one Natopian natopo.
