Nohavland crisis is an ongoing 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 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, have appointed Leon Watson as temporary leader of Srbozemlje, promising to enforce constitution. Day later, on 16th December, the crisis was resolved by granting 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, referendum was cancelled just few days before it supposed to be, and the claiming reason was 'inactivity of Nohavlandic government'. This caused riots and demonstrations across the biggest cities in Nohavland, but they were shortly prevented by riot police.

Province

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