RP: The Southern Federation

In response to the growing threat of the Schismian Empire, the leaderships of the Duchy of Season, Blessed Republic, and the Republic of Forty, entered close negotiations to devise a means of defense against a potential invasion from their northern neighbor. With the sentiment of the Solist Civil war still hot, initial negotiations were filled with fierce argument and disagreement. Following the Empire's order of integration of its governates, however, fear acted as a vehicle to push forward a proposal of unification. As a result of the unique histories of the nations involved, the proposal was accepted for a variety of reasons. The Blessed Republic and Season, both with a shared religious majority and history with the Ńocheańead Caliphate, agreed to the unification under the pretense of reuniting their Muslim populations following centuries of separation. The alliance once shared with Season, as well as a similar government system with the BR, proved instrumental in convincing the Republic of Forty to join as well.

Using the now-defunct Community charter as a guideline, the three states of the Desęrvt Desert have announced the creation of the Southern Schism Federation, unifying the southern territories wholly for the first time since the Ńocheańed Caliphate. Though celebrations rock the streets of the new nation's cities, the vast scale of the merger has wreaked havoc on the territories' political infrastructure. And although the SSF now stands as a major defense against the recent aggression of the Schismian Empire, there is still much need to coordinate the armies it now wields.

The SSF has not been the only deterrence to form from the chaos of the Atomic Schism. Under intense social pressure from major Panskismian activists, Trans-Schismia and the Orthodoxy Theocracy have officially formed a semi-united state not dissimilar to the 1900's Christian Alliance between Line, For Trees, and the Crossington Republic, from which Trans-Schismia proper was formed. With the so-called Second Christian Alliance, Ecumenical Matriarch Edłeaerdei has agreed to establish a more secular regime, relegating her political power to the formally ceremonial position, the Queen of Andbor to Ejeśei Eisenchouerei

In a stunning display of defiance, the Temple of Cheiń, having acted as a defender of the Acheinceolvist faith since the 1300s, has openly defied the orders of the Schismian Empire's integration program. Refusing to disband its ancient theocratic institutions, Cheiń Sonśvten, during what was to be the Temple's final prayer sigil before full integration, rejected the divinity of Emperor Śeręn X, naming him a tyrant, "filled only with Emptiness." Following the denouncement, the Temple's Shangralorian Guards began to assault Imperial troops stationed across the country. Emperor Śeręn along with many others of the Imperial government has viewed the attacks as a declaration of war, and as such ordered the Empire's military to begin a counter-assault of the Temple State. With violence inevitable, the Cheiń Sonśvten, wishing to make his intention clear to Acheinceolivsts in the Empire, stated,

"The war is not against the community, but the individual and their selfishness. . ."

With the full outbreak of war between the Temple of Cheiń and Schismian Empire, Acheinceolvists everywhere have been thrown into a confused state. Since antiquity, the Schismian Emperor and Cheiń have worked in tandem with the laymen, supporting and correcting the practices of those outside the clergy. But now, with the clergy and political entity directly in arms against each other, divides within the framework of the faith have risen anew. Though the Empire is far more secular than the Temple, the Cheiń's ideals of pacifism and understanding have resonated deeply with many of the Imperial youth and irreligious, the former of which have been instrumental in leading anti-war protests. However, a more patriotic and cynical generation of politicians has dominated the Empire of Śeręn X's ascension. In retaliation to the "brainwashing" of the Temple's teachings, the Empire has temporarily banned public protests, under penalty of high fines or imprisonment.

While the opinions of the younger generation have been criticized and suppressed in the Empire, they have flourished elsewhere in the Atomic Schism. As the movement grows, Panskismian politicians have found themselves in greater positions of power following the international election cycle, with Consul Ejochn of Trans-Schismia himself promising to encourage further unification in the Schism for his upcoming second term. The introduction of more youthful politicians has also seen the expansion of philosophical normalities in the nations where social stagnations have previously run rampant. In the SSF, seats filled in by the recent merger have brought forth interventionist policies under the pretense of "One People, One Nation" motives. The renaissance of ideas, while a blessing for those in the nations' they originated from, have worried high ranking individuals in the Schismian Empire during its temporary weakness; the word, "coalition" being whispered from the lips of radical Panskismianists.
