===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, with most supporting the Secretary. The Final Horseman decided to step down as a founder after more than two years in the role, with Kavagrad being nominated and unanimously approved by citizens as their replacement on 31 May.
 
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, and incumbent Minister of Community Affairs Wascoitan. Former Chief Justice Illyrian States, citing both "general disinterest in NS" as well as recent events, announced their intention to let their nation cease to exist in the region, thoughwhich theyoccurred remainedabout ina month after the regionincident. ThisThese sawevents resulted in a slew of by-elections and confirmation votes follow, with Argentigrad and Podria being confirmed as Ministers of Information and Community Affairs respectively, while Soviet Catgirls and Talao were elected to the General Assembly. Wascoitan would later return to the region with the joke nation "Official delete England party", coming second in the [[June 2021 general election]].
