Nohavland crisis was a political crisis in Nohavland caused by second Nohavlandic referendum of independence.

Background

Srbozemlje Crisis

In the late hours of 14th December 2017, Srbozemlje declared independence from the Florian Republic. This declaration was unconstitutional, violating article which states that Florian region must hold approved referendum beforehand. The Florian government discovered creation of sports leagues and currency linked to independent Srbozemlje. After further investigation, it was discovered that leader of Srbozemlje, Dimitrije Golubović, declared independence without official consent of any legislative bodies such as Srbozemljan or Florian parliament. On 15th December, president of Florian Republic, Jessica Smith, has appointed Leon Watson as temporary leader of Srbozemlje, promising to enforce the constitution. Day later, on 16th December, the crisis was resolved by granting a referendum of independence.

First referendum of independence

The first referendum of independence was granted on 16th December 2017 by Florian government. It was arranged that the referendum will be on February 1st, however, it was canceled just a few days before it was supposed to be, and the claiming reason was 'inactivity of Nohavlandic government'. This caused riots and demonstrations across cities in Nohavland, people were protesting on the streets and outside the government building. The demonstrations were stopped by the police, of course with casualties happening across the country.

Province

Nohavland was an autonomous province until 10th May 2018, when the Florian government changed the constitution and abolished autonomy. This led to disestablishing many organizations and institutions which were beneficial to Nohavland. Major civil disobedience happened among the Serb community, who accepted this act as a reduction of rights of Nohavlandic citizens.
