Line 44:
A month of turmoil and political tension ensued, beginning on 7 April with the announcement of the new Leftist Defence Force to replace the United Armed Forces as the regional military. This was criticised as a non-solution to the military's problems of inactivity and led to Minister of Defence New Tuva SSR revealing that they weren’t aware of the plans in advance, unsuccessfully attempting to overturn the move.

Line 81:
In the [[June 2018 general election]], Kavagrad ran unopposed for Secretary with Halfblakistan as their running mate, being strongly confirmed in their confidence vote. The term was marked by the introduction of various new Minister positions, while the [[10th General Assembly]] passed various amendments, including court trial reforms that were quickly put to the test in the first-ever Supreme Court case, ''[[10th Supreme Court#Tobostan v. Llorens (2018)|Tobostan v. Llorens (2018)]]''.
In the [[September 2018 general election]], Kavagrad ran again with New Arkados as their new running mate, while Morvan launched a counter-ticket with Hecknamistan. While there were no strong policy divisions, the challengers argued that there was lacking community involvement that needed to be remedied, though the debate period came to be dominated by a comment made by Hecknamistan equating hostility to religion with homophobia, which sparked some criticism. On 8 September, their ticket withdrew from the race due to real-life difficulties for Hecknamistan, allowing the Kavagrad to unanimously secure a second term in office. The new term was marked by a reduction in the number of Ministers and a simplified rewriting of the Constitution and Code of Laws by Llorens.▼
New Arkados was the sole nominee for Secretary in the [[December 2018 general election]], being sweepingly confirmed in a confidence vote with Nottinhaps as their running mate. The [[12th General Assembly]] passed important legislation on citizen-initiated votes of no confidence and Military Voting citizens, but the term's most notable legacy would come from the second, more sustained population boom under Minister of Recruitment The Final Horseman, more than doubling the regional population once again by the end of 2019.

===Community developments===
Minister of Foreign Affairs Llorens established the ambassador program on 26 June and the region joined the Interregional Legislative Coalition on 5 September. The 2018 IAFF World Cup, an interregional sports roleplay, was also held, with the Secretary organising a regional qualification stage that saw four nations enter the main draw; Woflines and Kavagrad eventually made it to the semifinals, while Llorens finished as runner-up.

===Legislative reforms===
In the [[17th General Assembly]] under Speaker Podria, legislation extending dual citizenship and abolishing the nomination poll in general elections in favour of RMB nominations have been passed. On 25 April, a drama in relation to Llorens contacting the final MGA yet to vote on the nomination poll legislation was revealed by the Secretary himself in response to a private conversation with Speaker Podria, which divided some commentators over whether it was questionable conduct
Speaker Kavagrad led an active [[18th General Assembly]], which legislated a vast slate of mostly small clarifying changes. Notable amendments included making the Speaker the interim Secretary when the office is immediately vacated, limiting states of emergency to a maximum of two weeks, and making it a criminal offence to withhold knowledge of a crime.
Line 149:
Nottinhaps, a long-term member of the region, departed the region on 15 January months after originally warning of the move, attributing it primarily to a lack of time in real-life and to a smaller degree the culture of the region. Prompted in part by this and their personal experiences, Llorens - the head admin of the social Discord server since April 2017 - unexpectedly resigned from their post with a strongly-worded dispatch statement criticising a minority of Marxist-Leninists for promoting a culture of sectarianism, handing control to admin Kavagrad. This dispatch received a mixed response, with some applauding it for its honesty, while others criticised it for being sectarian in itself. This event and those that followed as a direct result have since been coined The Great Departure.
Kavagrad dismissed Hecknamistan as an admin of the social Discord server, while VegemiteIsGross voluntarily stepped down due to a lack of time, leaving three admin vacancies that would later be filled by Antinios, Dyl, and Nangka. Libertasnia, a former Minister of Community and Foreign Affairs, departed the region due to feelings of stress evoked by the incident, which was the first in a slate of departures that were more protest-focused - former Minister of Foreign Affairs Hecknamistan, incumbent Deputy Speaker and Minister of Information Vandensia,
