Brief history of the Early Fourth Republic (4218-4254)

The following is a summary of RP posts made between May 2017 and August 2017, many of which were undated. Thus, working off my memory, later RP historiography, and these sources, I decided to produce this summary rather than replicate in full these posts.

The Yingdalan Fourth Republic (4220-4300) was established by Shi Yawen and her New Progressive Party government (OOC: played by hujie83) shortly after the death of Emperor Wu Ren (OOC: played by Liu Che). Emperor Wu Ren was deemed as having no suitable heir to the throne, as all his children were minors, though this was widely understood to be merely an excuse made by the republican faction. Similarly, other political figures refused to support a monarch who was raised in Dankuk, as some of the Emperor's children had been sent to Dankuk for their education.

After the throne was claimed by Dankuk's House of Hwangje, the NPP resolved to abolish the vacant throne and transition to a presidential republic. Shi was subsequently elected the first president of the Fourth Republic in 4220 after the ratification of the republican constitution. Rifts within the NPP eventually led to that party's collapse, and the subsequent rise of an authoritarian regime under the leadership of Tony Pua and the Republic's Conservatives (RC) political party.
