Era of the Dictatorship (1780 - 1888)

For a complete list of Prime Ministers in Consigahria's history see List of Prime Ministers of Consigahria.

Confederation

On November 6th, 1780, the Vermillion Plantations (the Consigahrian mainland), including most of Wuufu, a vast, world-renowned area notorious for its increasingly fertile lands and sturdy ecosystems, was seized by multiple groups including the once-powerful but now extinct Queendom of Geneva and the Francod Republic! Warfare between the nations burnt down multiple forests and killed more than 20% of the animals and plant life, including the now-extinct Cherfauna rhododendron. War between seven countries total, each of them currently extinct themselves, destroyed one mountain and activated another. Two years passed before the warfare ceased and the wildfires were finally under control. One June 20th, 1782, the Vermillion Treaty was signed and ratified, and the Holy Dictatorship of Consigahria and the Vermillon Plantations was formed in the West Pacific.

Federation

The Davis Royal Family has been in power since the nation's federation, starting it off as a dictatorship. 37-year-old Dictator for Life Cornelius Davis I had a child in celebration of the nation's federation, founded a gold mine, instituted a currency called the golden coin, and ruled for 16 years before being assassinated by his bodyguards in January of 1808. After the bodyguards were killed for treason, shortly after his 17th birthday, the Dictator for Life's son Cornelius Davis II proclaimed himself in the death and absence of his father the First President of the official Monocratic Democracy.

Era of Democratization (1808-2135)

In his 86th year of life, year 1888, Davis II made a public announcement that it was he who had ordered his father's bodyguards to assassinate him, then committed a planned suicide in his home that night alongside his personal doctor, friends and family. Davis II had two sons, one of whom died in early infancy and one of whom grew, and one daughter who also grew. Cornelius Keenen Samuel (Davis IV), the 33-year-old youngest, would assume the throne on March 28th, 1888, after Davis II's death by natural causes, simply because Amelia declined. Davis II's other son, Vincent Cornelius Davis III, died at two months of age from a severe, unexplained chronic fever; and his daughter, Amelia, would grow and marry to die at age 49 from a rather severe case of untreated schizophrenic depression and suicide. In a nationwide address following Davis II's death, it was revealed that the President knew he would probably be forgiven, but would like to stress that he took a life, and no matter what the consequence he must give his own in order to be right with the Lord. His son was crowned the following day.

In life, Davis IV married four times, and with all four marriages had four sons who were legitimately his (Davis V and three others not named after him, Trevor Jonathan Cornelius, Caleb Raymond, and Veryl Howard Cornelius), but their birthdates are debated among historians. His other three wives had prior children. Davis IV ruled benevolently for 91 years until his own death by old age at 124 years. He passed away on December 25th, 1979, giving the throne to his eldest son of Royal blood, Keenen Cornelius Key Davis V. 40-year-old Davis V assumed the throne on Christmas Day of 1979, and would rule for exactly 20 years before his symbolic resignation to his own son. 21-year-old C. Keenen Timothy Davis VI assumed the throne on Christmas Day of 1999 from his 60-year-old father and would "usher in the new millennium, a new age". Davis VI would rule for 3 years, marry to Bailey Hobbes, then rule for another decade.

Davis VI and his wife gave birth to a healthy baby boy, Keenen Timothy Davis IX, in his ninth year of rule, and then three years later a set of twins, healthy baby boys, Howard Joel Hobbes Davis whom he decided would be the unique one in the family and Keenen Drummond Garret Hobbes Davis X.

Feudal Era (2007-2147)

West Consigahria and the Consigahrian-Gerenstran Civil War (2007 - 2011)

Following the regional move to 10000 Islands, the western territories of Buyou and Haruji seceded on October 21st, 2007, becoming the United Dictatorship Republic of West Consigahria. They retained their status of independence for over a year. On December 12th, 2008, a massive civil war broke out between Consigahria and the Queendom of Gerenstra. Gerenstra tried to establish embargoes on Consigahrian export ships, and Consigahria warned them to stand down. "For our Majesty," claimed the seamen, "we will never stand down." West Consigahrian (The United Dictatorship Republic of West Consigahria) navy, without Consigahria's leader asking them to, blew the Gerenstran ships up, sparking the civil war. The leader of Consigahria was furious and "looked like he wanted to slap the Prime Minister of West Consigahria in the face," said a paparazzi member to the succeeding meeting. Apologetically, on December 27th, 2008, Retrove proclaimed that West Consigahria would rejoin its homeland to fight the war together. Consigahria officially reannexed West Consigahria exactly a week later.

On January 1st, 2009, West Consigahria poised an ultimatum to Consigahria--they would remain rejoined under one condition, that they retain their independence as their own nation. Consigahria agreed, as long as West Consigahria applied for and was admitted to the World Assembly, serving as a representative for both countries.

In early November, 2010, a major terrorist group from the North Pacific attacked thousands upon thousands of major businesses in Vermillion. Prime Minister Cornelius Davis VI dispatched troops to the foreign country whose name was withheld from the media (Gerenstra) the terrorist agency was from. Consigahria was now officially in war. Citizens were baffled and furious at the sudden spike in taxes and the complete abolition of welfare and a few other public benefits instated previously by the government.

On May 27th, 2011, the Consigahrian-Gerenstran Civil War ended with Consigahria as a collective temporarily united as the victors. Gerenstra had been overtaken as Consigahrian soil. Shortly after, on June 3rd, 2011, West Consigahria seceded for a final time in fraternity with its homeland, retaining its independence.

On November 4th, 2012, the nation came to a standstill to allow incense and lanterns to be filled as is the tradition when something of this nature happens; at 5:36 AM, just at sunrise, the ever benevolent Prime Minister Cornelius Davis VI was declared dead by natural means. Having died prematurely at age 34 due to an aggressive cancer, he had lived a good life filled with responsibility, love for his family and friends, and an undying affinity for his country. He was buried in Majestic Manor Cemetery, where only Prime Ministers and family members of Prime Ministers may be buried after death. Halted in mourning, the nation continued to function with Davis' only legitimate son, Prime Minister Keenen Timothy Cornelius Davis VII, age 16, in power.

He had two identical boys by his third wife. Davis VII would be the youngest ruler to ever assume the throne.

In 2012, when Davis IX was just 10, his father was diagnosed with cancer and had to resign his position to his younger brother, Davis IX's uncle, Keenen Timothy Davis VII, who ruled ruthlessly for a short time and was assassinated by a bitter citizen.

Population Day

"December 03, 2012 - We Finally Hit 11 Billion! Flags, banners and posters line the nation as the record population continues to climb at 11.003 billion on the morning of December 3rd, 2012!" Population Day has been proclaimed as an annual holiday occurring five days before Hanukkah, on which day all citizens are exempt from taxation for 24 hours. The country has officially recovered from the Consigahrian-Gerenstran Civil War, and the previously abolished public benefits like welfare had been reinstated; but clothes had been outlawed except in cases of extreme cold (zero degrees celcius).

Following the 2013 passage of a well-supported bill that contained half a dozen riders, corruption watchdog groups lobbied the government to take action against the use of unrelated addenda in lawmaking. Prime Minister Cornelius Davis VII was quick to express his contempt at a fellow who suggested assigning legislature to the private sector, earning a few chuckles from his staff.

Davis VII banned automobiles which ran on gasoline on April 25, 2013.

On April 29, 2013, Population Day was officially assigned its name.

Widow of Emir for Life Jailed

On May 5, 2013, Madame Euphegenia Retrove, widow of recently-deceased West Consigahrian Emir for Life Daily Retrove II, pulled an unloaded gun on Prime Minister C. Davis VII. She spent a few nights in Schott River Correctional Institution. Three days later, a newspaper published the following in an article: "Madame Euphegenia Retrove, wife of recently-deceased West Consigahrian Emir for Life, was jailed March 5th, 2013, for pulling an unloaded firearm on Prime Minister Cornelius Davis VII during an private meeting with criminally lethal intent. The video was posted online just a few days ago on the fifth, but it was taken down last night. The video amassed over six billion views. Although the firearm wasn't loaded, Retrove was charged with attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon." After a month of waiting in a cold jail cell in Schott River Correctional Institution in Vermillion City, she appeared before a judge, pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to life in prison without chance for parole. Before she returned to her cell, she commented that she "gave her freedom for her husband's life and has (sic) no regrets." The Prime Minister was present during the trial and considered pardoning her of all crimes since the gun wasn't loaded and therefore wasn't a genuine threat. His advisors advised against it, so she was not pardoned. Shortly before she boarded the bus that would take her to the prison, she slipped out f her handcuffs and became very aggressive, rendering unconscious both of the police officers who were escorting her, one of which was Vermillion City Police Department Chief Benjamin Yevtushenko, and then fled. Half an hour later, she was apprehended by the Operatives' Division by psychic force and jailed promptly. There have been no further issues from the Retrove family, recently discovered to have a dark affiliation with the nation's most powerful international drug syndicate.

On July 17, 2013, while in an advisors' meeting, 33-year-old Prime Minister Cornelius Davis VII was shot in the head as his assailants, 29 of them, all armed with AK-47s, stormed the room, shoving the audience back. All 13 men died. Assailants David Rach, Henry Thibodeaux, and 27 others were arrested, charged with treason and murder in the third degree. Rach and Thibodeaux were sentenced to death, the main perpetrators of the crime, and the others were sentenced to a public beating and life in prison. They spent ten nights in Schott River Correctional Institution (Illicargo, Vermillion City, Capital Terr.), before being shipped to Gallagher Maximum Security Federal Penitentiary (Slaghelm Forest, Pincock Territory). They would both serve life sentences.

On August 7th, 2013, after Davis VII's Vice Prime Minister Ailord West's temporary rule, Consigahria was "back and beating, better than ever", according to Prime Minister Cornelius Davis VIII (the eighth), Esq., the deceased Prime Minister's younger brother, crowned that afternoon. The young 20-year-old, a very handsome prince by the girls of the city, sat in his office, well prepared by his father to take the position. He cut taxes by three percent as the government continued its hibernation to mourn over Davis VII, may he rest in peace.

On January 30th, 2014, six months after his taking the throne, Davis VIII was ousted and jailed for 10 years plus 10 years probation for conspiracy against the Consigahrian nation and treason! His offense? Trying to cover up the rape-murder of 20-year-old college student Vanessa Patraski.

Patraski attended Northwell Bailey University's Bertolli campus in nothern Soho territory. She was an English and Computer Technology major. Her rapist-murderer, name concealed for his protection, was jailed for life in Kho River Correctional Penitentiary in Kho River, Soho Terr., pending trial. His pending time is estimated to be 10-12 years, all of which will be hard jail time.

Davis VIII, jailed, had a brief sexual episode with Patraski in 2013. He attempted to cover the murder up because Patraski and he had "unfinished business, and if the public had found out, he would have lost all of his credibility [due to a] misunderstanding." Davis was replaced by his younger 17-year-old brother, Prime Minister C. Keenen Davis IX. As the ninth and youngest ruler in the 200-year dynasty, he promised to bring more sensible equality to the nation.

On March 11th, 2014, after eight months of psychic interrogation, assassin David Rach was found guilty of criminal misconduct. It was found that Rach had changed his name in February 2013 from Ryan Petruzzi, and had planned to change it back once the assassination and getaway were complete. It was also found that Henry Thibodeaux, his accomplice, was extremely violent in preadolescence, but not in pubescence or early adulthood. Rach was found to have manipulated a psychic thought-manipulator into manipulating Thibodeaux to kill again. Thibodeaux was found guilty for seventeen more murders, most of them gruesome, and Rach was found guilty for the same number of manslaughters; both men were accused of the crime. The psychic was smart enough to erase his image from both men's memories, and has not been identified nor caught. Thibodeaux was found to have belonged to a powerful international drug syndicate in Vermillion City and had belonged to it for three years before his incarceration, the same that the Retrove family, responsible for an attempted assassination of a Prime Minister in early May 2013. For security purposes, the name of the gang has been withheld. Rach was found not to have belonged to the same gang, but was found to have had experience as a lawyer under the name Ryan Petruzzi, which he stole from his long-deceased many-greats-grandfather. His real name was revealed as Vincent Ocello Brice, but because his name was legally changed, Rach is forced to retain his name to death. Meanwhile, in response to an increasing number of people without adequate health care in Consigahria, neighboring nation the Sultanate of The Kanekaeri Islands, today a conquered nation, publicly sought permission to establish free health clinics within the country. Immediately following, three beings suddenly burst into the Prime Minister's office this evening, screaming their heads off, interrupting him as he was signing the final piece of legislature that would completely re-annex West Consigahria. Reportedly, Prime Minister Davis IX had to silence their argument. Minutes later, they were kicked out, feeling very happy that the nation would from then on have free national healthcare for every citizen.

Assertion and Assassination (2012-2127)

Davis VII's 14-year-old nephew, Keenen Drummond Davis X, asserted himself before his other uncles and tried to take the throne shortly after his assassination, but was shut down. For almost four years, Davis VII's Vice Prime Minister Ailord West ruled in his place, but shortly before Davis X's 18th birthday, he asserted himself once again. West was coerced to step down. Although Davis IX initially brought peace to the nation, he was seen as a young pushover, and once the citizens began to push hard, the Prime Minister pushed back even harder with a harsh tax backlash. Throughout his reign from 2012 to 2127, his citizens would attempt to assassinate him five times.

Another assassin, this one female and hired by his wife, attempted his life in November 2127, but failed, prompting the Prime Minister to resign to his 21-year-old younger nephew, a move that probably saved his own life. Davis X assumed the throne in late November 2127 and issued a new law in a public television address to the nation: "...any attempted and failed murder will be treated as treason and not attempted murder, meaning if caught or turned in, any Consigahrian alive who has tried to assassinate a Prime Minister will go to jail and stay there until they die; and any attempted and successful assassination will be treated far worse - the assassin will die that very day."

Keenen Drummond Garret Hobbes Davis X ruled for almost nine years with a benevolent yet iron fist, having greatly advanced his security and the security teams of his cabinet and their associates and introducing programs that have made life much easier for his citizens.

On November 22, 2129, 32-year-old Prime Minister C. K. Davis IX died of natural means in his home in Vermillion City, and his younger brother, 22-year-old K. Drummond Garret Hobbes Davis X, assumed his position as Prime Minister. As an indirect result, the entire nation was sent into a recession.

In a public statement in early December, 2134, Prime Minister Davis X proclaimed to have found a husband who always remained unidentified, and would become the very first openly gay Prime Minister in the nation's history.

In February, 2135, the government axed the federal mail system, lowering the income tax rate by 57.8% from 80.3%. In March of the same year, the government temporarily repealed its two-week-old ban on hunting ravens under the condition that they would only be hunted with weapons which would cause instantaneous and painless death; and after droves of tanks were seen stalking ravens through the forest near suburban towns, and after a 59% tax hike, the ban was reinstated. Two days later, it dropped back down to its original value.

As of March 10, 2135, airport security was provided by private companies; religious education was a new government priority; and businesses that prove successful were immediately broken up. However, hospitals became a rival amongst the best-funded in the region.

In April, 2135, the government began to direct funding to defense. Currently, most information is highly classified.

In December, 2135, the government declared the recession over. For the first time in months, the GDP increased.

Consigahrian-Brasilistani War

Militarily reticent Consigahria and a nation called Brasilistan were at war in April 2135. Brasilistan had also had war declared on them by several other nations. Several Consigahrian families, among thousands and thousands of other families from around the world who were touring in the nation, were abducted by the corrupt government and forced to work as slaves. On April 1st, 2135, Consigahria attacked the nation; and following their attack, other nations attacked as well. Brasilistan's landscape and population would be forever altered by the hundreds of thousands of mortars dropped onto the island nation. Prime Minister Davis X commented harshly in a public address on April 2nd, 2135, and his fiercely patriotic sixteen billion roared and jeered behind him either in person or watching a television: "Jewish people have already been enslaved once as a whole; and now Brasilistan wants to spit in Jewish faces, and not only ours, but to those of the world? There are Native Consigahrians among these people struggling to live in this foreign shithole known as Brasilistan, and I won't rest until I have remuneration. You other nations wanna come at me because I'm defending them? Our jets are the fastest in Spiritus; our bombs and their detonative blast waves travel extremely far in very short amounts of time; our navy is up to the navel in weaponry; our air force are armed up to the chin; our army are trained, many, and specialized; our anti-aircraft and anti-missile arsenals are computerized, protected, and automatic; and we will eviscerate every single one of you. I made noise: that was the point of the air raid. So now we'll relax on the civilian casualties and assault the arms factories, military airfields, and key bases of the nation." His red-faced threat continued for five minutes.

Prime Minister C. Davis X yelling over the phone

On April 3rd, Brasilistan's industrial base was quickly decimated by the Consigahrian NatArms as they stormed key points by air and water. As of April 4th, elite teams of assassins were sent into Brasilistan on foot to remove the leadership from power. 130 people would be killed, freeing the country from its oppressive leaders and allowing kidnapped citizens to return to their homelands. Consigahria sought total governmental reform and colonization, along with a couple other nations. In part to calm the furor, Consigahria is currently seeking electoral reform in its own jurisdiction.

Having decimated the native Brasilistani army, the western half of the island nation belonged to Consigahria following the war. The land was sold to the nation of Lordaguard for R$2.5 million.

Prime Minister Davis X has been charged in three international courts with genocide, and has been charged with withholding spending information from the public in his own nation. Davis X pleaded guilty on April 6th, but was acquitted of all charges. Shortly after, he increased military spending, fearing more warfare. Mid- and late-April average income tax was 80%.

Acquisition of Brasilistan

On January 30th, 2136, the federal government officially recognized a portion of western Brasilistan as one of its own states. The remaining population of the devastated, mostly uninhabited land have all the rights of Consigahrian citizens and may visit or move to the mainland; and likewise, Consigahrian natives and others who live on the mainland may visit or move to the Brasilistani Islands, which has been officially annexed as Brasilistani Islands Territory. The same invitation has been extended to all Brasilistanis and to all other peoples. Locally, the territory is called Brasili Territory; but abroad, the area is still widely understood as a sovereign terrorist country.

On February 4th, the government completed a national survey and concluded that the government acquired 1,241 islands with 140 million people who have survived the war, along with around 320,300 square miles of land and water.

Much of the territory is without plumbing; their source of water is evaporated, condensed, and purified ocean water, whereas the rest of the nation gets their source of water from mountain glaciers and rivers. The populace utilize outhouses a distance from their domiciles, and the excrement is used agriculturally. 170 years before its annexation, Brasilistan was world-renowned for the size of the potatoes it produced and exported. As of 2105, the nation was officially in a state of drought and severe famine, and their exports shut down entirely, forcing the country to mine "precious minerals" and export that. The nation failed to revitalize until 2132.

In 2135, Consigahria began to step in when its leadership noticed a fraction of their population AWOL, and noticed that other nations around the world reported the same thing. The trade secret was then leaked that Brasilistan's government had literally kidnapped hundreds of thousands of people and forced them to work in mines as slaves. When Consigahria and another world superpower declared war, Brasilistan began to kill the slaves off, and the government was soon destroyed and hundreds of thousands of survivors of war spared.

As elections become more and more popular, a TV celebrity dominates the nation's newest democratic political party as anti-governmental websites begin to spring up following the ban of non-Native-owned casinos and minor gambling. Back-alley bris clinics are popping up all over the nation as a result of the recent criminalization of the practice of circumcision, and some doctors and some parents face felony charges.

A portion of the island nation of Brasilistan was acquired by the nation as of February 1st, 2136. On February 4th, the government assigned the islands it had acquired status as a territory, and assigned it a name: Brasilistani Islands Territory, nicknamed locally Brasili Territory. Its population was found to be 400 million. More studies are currently taking place; but it has been discovered that the Territory's population disagree with the rest of the nation on how the previous warfare should be represented in school textbooks.

Two 8.7-9.6 earthquakes damaged buildings, killed 135 million people, and caused a massive coastal tsunami and a subsequent large-scale oil spill. This contaminated the majority of the nation's municipal drinking water, so a very expensive campaign has been started to import piped water from abroad.

In September, 2136, the prohibition on fracking was abolished. Also, all technology must now be personally blessed by religious officials before they are sold.

The Battle of Brasili Territory

After a month of being buttered up by the government, the populace there has come to terms with their annexation; but a small but heavily-armed nation named Wezeltonia has the islands under siege, claiming sovereignty over the islands and the people, a heavily illegal act, federally and internationally. As citizens of Brasili Territory become accustomed to their newer, and apparently inherently better, Consigahrian lives, a nation invades the islands on February 28th and claim sovereignty for their nation. Consigahrian Prime Minister Davis X phoned the leader of Wezeltonia and requested that his troops and police be removed from the islands at once, as it was Consigahrian soil, only to be cursed out and the call suddenly ended. The following morning, the Prime Minister's family spent upwards of R$150 billion of their own money to finance an impending battle over the islands; they refuse to be stolen from. All of the citizens in the territory at stake and more than half of the mainland's citizens endorse the government as it prepares to declare war.

Two hours from midnight, February 28th, 2136, the Consigahrian government declared war on the small island nation of Wezeltonia. Three Consigahrian soldiers died in battle, and 1,320 Wezeltonian soldiers also lost their lives. Ultimately, Wezeltonia surrendered over the telephone and withdrew its remaining 500 living troops from the Brasilistani Islands. The battle lasted only 14 hours. Consigahria retains possession as ordered troops and their families move to the islands permanently, and given estates and titles.

P.M. Davis X has his cabinet summarily executed

9:09pm, February 29th, 2136. Prime Minister K. Cornelius Davis finds himself presented with an ultimatum: a viral disease of the autoimmune system called VODAIS (viral overactive disorder of the auto-immune system), which causes people to exhibit severe diarrhea among other flu-like symptoms chronically, is being spread throughout his nation. It's happened before, and supplying drugs to the public hasn't been successful previously. His cabinet has given him an ultimatum: because they have no healthcare funding, and because a tax hike to suddenly fund a huge federal medical campaign would cause public anarchy: either funding from the military must be cut to subsidize drugging and possibly curing the infected, some of whom will refuse the medicine and procreate anyway; or segregate all infected for the remainder of their lives, and the males of whom must undergo vasectomies. Davis chose the latter; and for doing so, he was arrested hours later for a hate crime and charged in court formally, behind closed doors.

Prime Minister Cornelius Keenen Drummond Garret Hobbes Davis X was accused of mass segregation based on disability. A District Attorney of Capitol Territory presented evidence against him why he should be impeached and imprisoned. "A," he said, name withheld, "Davis has been very kind to us in the past, but that doesn't excuse his crimes past and present. B, the law clearly states all men in the country's borders or surrounding seas up to foreign borders are accountable to the law categorically. C, he previously sent us to war over small things, such as seizing just a few remote islands on the edge of our borders and Wezeltonia, and just a few hundred thousand people enslaved who were probably doomed anyway - well you can't run from God." He continued for 10 minutes, before Davis stopped him. He pleaded guilty, as he's done in court twice now publicly. After a short address by the presiding Supreme Court Justice, name also withheld, Davis could be sentenced to 10 years in prison.

The court decided that, if he were sentenced to prison, he would be ordered to have a child, and 18 years after the child's birthdate, Davis would be imprisoned for his crime against the Consigahrian people. Indeed, to separate the Consigahrian people based on a contagious illness is not in [the judge's] legal opinion "a good reason to legally segregate the people." She was contested by three of the five other judges--the court agreed, whether or not segregation based on contagious fatal illness is constitutional and legal is inconclusive.

1:22pm, March 1st, 2136. After 17 long hours of arguing back and forth, defensive opposition in the Prime Minister's favor agreed made it clear that they unanimously assign blame and subsequent punishment to the members of his cabinet. The members of his cabinet suggested mandatory mass testing by blood, and recommended the passing of laws that required people who were infected by the virus to be isolated from mainstream society in internment camps they nicknamed "temples." The Prime Minister, who merely wanted to do something different than what hadn't worked in the past, merely followed their suggestions. Small- and large-scale riots broke out as a result, civilians versus police task forces, and many of both sides lost their lives in armed combat. Some villages were decimated because they attacked the residential properties of their mayors (legally, federal property) with explosives such as molotov cocktails and pipe bombs, an act of treason and of war. While riotous behavior isn't specifically illegal, those who engaged in such behavior were shot and killed by the Corporal Service for militantly causing more than R$14 trillion in damage to federal property, and for acts of civil war. Civil war is prohibited by regional law.

Later that Wednesday afternoon, the Prime Minister chose to restrict control of this situation to the current people in the meeting, the six Supreme Court Justices (names withheld), the Prime Minister, and his fiancee Uzoma Meital Riese, who joined the meeting shortly after 1:00pm. Having her Doctorate in Criminal Justice, Davis appointed her as the seventh Supreme Court Justice; and subsequently, she sided with the defense, offsetting the scale, and then promptly dismissed the District Attorney.

A unanimous vote between the Justices having been reached, Prime Minister Cornelius Keenen Hobbes Davis X has been deemed innocent of all charges against him; and the following people were deemed guilty of treason and "hence sentenced to summary execution by firing squad":

• Minister of Defense Rollo Kader
• Minister of Education Sharlene Kobayashi
• Minister of Welfare Nosson Benton
• Minister of Law and Order Adir Stamatios Kleid
• Minister of National Security Willard Xiao Law
• Minister of National Healthcare Nkechi Morse
• Minister of Public Transportation Yoram Ottokar Acker
• Assistant Prime Minister Onyekachukwu Amnon Kurosawa

In addition, it has been deemed illegal at the federal level, an unforgivable offense, to segregate the public based on an illness. At the maximum extent to the law, the ill may be quarantined either within their own room, or a federally-licensed and state-recognized hospital. The Prime Minister's previous rulings are sustained, but slightly amended: A) every individual infected with VODAIS, a sexually-transmittable and congenital disease of the immune system, will be segregated by sex in internment camps as far away from society as possible; B) each internment camp will be cut off from running water so as to protect the mainstream population; C) all civilians, as well as state and federal personnel, must be tested for VODAIS; D) persons who refuse will be jailed immediately and forcibly tested; E) civilians who test negative for VODAIS after a forced evaluation will be released from prison after 30 days, whereas state and federal personnel who test negative after a forced evaluation will be released immediately; F) this event places the entire country under martial law, removing every non-federal jurisdiction and law; G) after the death of every individual with VODAIS, the law will be abolished, implementation of martial law will cease; H) and finally, in the event of future VODAIS outbreak, the same laws will be put into effect.

At 2:00pm, Davis' cabinet was telephoned and informed that they must appear in court as ordered.

"Under martial law," the Prime Minister declared, "from this day forward, if the cause of the implementation of martial law results in segregation of the people, ...the cause will be monitored 24/7 by the Operatives' Division. In this case, since the cause was a VODAIS outbreak because some infected idiot didn't cover up before his flu-like symptoms started, he created a family over generations. This cannot be allowed; therefore, the infected public must be monitored so that the chance of escape from these facilities is impossible, like a prison. However, these are internment camps, not prisons; it must not appear to the public eye that these people are being forcibly restrained, because that's simply not the case. The aim of armed supervision is to keep them contained within these facilities, yes, but you won't find armed guards in tactical assault gear patrolling the interiors. Just around the perimeters. Within the interiors, every other floor will be a security level, in which the Operatives' Division will supervise the floor below them. Stairs accessible by card or key only will provide easy access if and when preventative or deadly force becomes necessary. The infected have already had their weapons confiscated, cleaned thoroughly, and resold in the mainstream population; and their homes are currently being decontaminated at the government's expense, hence the recent small rise in income and sale taxes of less than 1%. Unfortunately, all other options are either unconstitutional, or involve either a humongous tax hike ergo anarchy, and/or civil war which regional law prohibits." His declaration continued. Prime Minister Cornelius Davis X said will have to appoint a new assistant as well as seven qualified Ministers at some point in the future. If he failed to do so in a timely manner, whether every infected individual is deceased or not, martial law could not come to end safely.

At 2:30pm, an operation was silently staged to gather the Prime Minister's cabinet (the condemned) and their families. Around 5:30pm, as ordered by the Prime Minister, the condemned would be summarily executed for their crimes against the Commonwealth of Consigahria.

At 2:50pm, Minister of Law and Order Adir Stamatios Kleid was reportedly in a plane heading from Vermillion City Regional Airport in Taxahamie, Capitol Territory, in flight. The Prime Minister called him from his personal cellphone and urged him to command the plane to land immediately so he can be arrested. Kleid screamed he knew he'd lost his job, but he refused to lose his life, and then ended the call; so the Prime Minister ordered the plane to be shot down. The Consigahrian Royal Air Force dispatched four fighter jets in pursuit of the airliner with orders to shoot it down and eliminate any survivors.

At 3:20pm, Minister of Defense Rollo Kader and 50 armed staff members committed murder of five Operatives' Division agents and two Corporal Service agents. At 3:23pm, the Prime Minister ordered the property to be carpet bombed. At 3:25pm, Dixie Police Department evacuated a one-mile perimeter around the property; and at 3:54pm, the property suffered extensive damages including collapsed buildings and fire damage due to five bombs dropped in specific places. At 4:00pm, the property was surrounded by 200 men total, who, after much gunfire, brought Kader and his staff to their knees. Kader and all 50 armed men and women, as well as 73 federal agents and 17 police officers, lost their lives. There were 12 civilian casualties that took place during the incident, 10 of whom died of fatal wounds later at Vermillion Metropolitan Interregional Hospital.

At 3:30pm, Minister of Public Transportation Yoram Ottokar Acker was sighted by a security camera as he was attempting to leave Capitol Territory by car. He was stopped at the border by the Corporal Service and Montague Police Department, but the car drove through the toll barrier and quickly sped away. Police and Corporal Service gave chase, and after 20 miles of firing at a bulletproof car, Acker and his driver lost their lives in a fatal vehicular collision.

At approximately 4:27pm, the private jet containing Minister of Law and Order Adir Stamatios Kleid was shot down over rural Pincock Territory after nearly two hours of hot pursuit, slamming into Denali National Forest at speeds exceeding 400mph. No civilians were injured or killed in the incident; however, Kleid and wife, alongside six children and a staff of 14 of 50, lost their lives in the incident. 36 employees, who were fired when they refused to flee with them, were spared.

At 4:30pm, escorted by the Corporal Service, the remaining four Ministers arrived in handcuffs with their families and staffs, most of whom were in tears throughout the event. At this time, the Prime Minister's cellphone rang, he answered, and then proclaimed that Kleid and Acker were dead. The Prime Minister's assistant, Onyekachukwu Amnon Kurosawa, was the last to arrive at 4:41pm, and did not bring family with her.

At 5:00pm, a Corporal Service assault team of three marched into the room in a triangle formation, holding tactical AK-47s at their chests. Corporal Service Director Saburo Rosenberger; Corporal Service Deputy Director Martin Salucci; and Operatives' Division Director Jamaal Goddard. Prime Minister Davis X ordered the presiding Supreme Court Justices to follow the orders of the Head Justice, which would either be the Prime Minister himself or his spouse (if qualified). He also decreed that all legal executions would take place according to protocol, no matter where it takes place. They confirmed, writing it to law, introducing to the nation's legal system a Head Supreme Court Justice.

Supreme Court Head Justice Uzoma Meital Riese was sworn into office at 5:10pm. Subsequently, the Prime Minister allowed 20 minutes for the families present to say their final goodbyes.

At 5:30pm, the Prime Minister ordered the Head Justice to carry out the execution. She ordered all five people to stand in line alphabetically against a pure white wall opposite of the Justice's desks, and said an earnest prayer to God to forgive the offenders, and forgive "us who put them to death before You" (sic), before she ordered three bullets per executioner to each offender. (Normally, the maximum number of bullets allowed to legally kill somebody is one, or two if they survive the first.) Goddard affirmed and stepped up first, cocking his weapon, before the Prime Minister announced: "For the crime of treason, I hereby dishonor and disavow you all. You are relieved of duty, title, nobility, and estate. Execute them."

The three executioners set their weapons to fire three-shot bursts, and alternated between kills as each cadaver was placed on a stretcher, covered with a white linen, and carried away to waiting ambulances outside the building. Division Director Goddard shot and killed Benton; CS Director Rosenberger shot and killed Xiao Law; CS Deputy Director Salucci shot and killed Morse; Goddard shot and killed Kobayashi; and Rosenberger shot and killed Kurosawa.

Rollo Kader was 38 years old. Sharlene Kobayashi was 42 years old. Nosson Benton was 38 years old. Adir Stamatios Kleid was 42 years old. Willard Xiao Law was 35 years old. Nkechi Morse was 52 years old. Yoram Ottokar Acker was 49 years old. Onyekachukwu Amnon Kurosawa was 27 years old.

As of March 1st, 12:01am, the nation is under martial law.

On March 11th, 2136, Prime Minister Davis X proclaimed that he'd successfully hired a new assistant. Democracy rules: the Prime Minister has been urged by both his assistant and his fiancee to allow the people to elect his cabinet. For generations, the Prime Minister has always selected his own cabinet; so the sentiment was somewhat unwelcome, but nevertheless considered. Meanwhile, over the past eleven days, due to recent legislation in Consigahria, there have been over 18,000 military-related deaths, over R$4 million in property damage, and more than 5,000 arrests. As per regional law, CS and riot police patrol all major streets by foot and all minor streets by helicopter; the number of thefts, murders, and arrests for public indecency have skyrocketed; and due to cemetery overpopulation, cremation for the recently deceased has become legally compulsory.

Lilliputian Freedom Fighters 2136 Attack

A multinational terrorist organization called the Lilliputian Freedom Fighters, originating from Lilliputia, set off 60 suicide bombers in an apparent terrorist attack in Vermillion City on March 28th, 2136, killing 380 people and injuring hundreds more. Instead of declaring war, Prime Minister Davis X sought out a peaceful meeting with the leaders of the organization. On the 30th, they met within the Prime Minister's private office, a meeting guarded heavily, and Consigahria would learn their alleged offenses against the Lilliputian Republic. The Prime Minister dismissed the group after more bloodshed was threatened, and the men were arrested. A firefight ensued for about five minutes, resulting in the death of three Lilliputian Freedom Fighters generals and the injury of 35 Corporal Service agents and of the Prime Minister himself. The Prime Minister suffered two shots to the shoulder and one near the liver, and is expected to survive. Seven remaining generals of the terrorist organization, found to be official Consigahrian citizens, were sentenced to death by firing squad for treason, destruction of government property, unlawfully handling firearms, 35 counts of attempted murder, and attempted murder of a government official. After the execution, the Prime Minister commented that they were "extremely skilled gunmen and assassins." Lilliputia's government did not release a statement.

2136 Earthquake and Tsunami

On June 22nd, 2136, 125 miles south-southeast off the coast of Vermillion City's southernmost boroughs, two powerful megathrust earthquakes jolted Capitol Territory and the entire western coast of the nation. The first earthquake was measured at 8.7 on the Richter scale, and the second at 9.6. The first earthquake struck at 8:37 am and lasted for 12 minutes, killing over 14 million people, injuring 120 million others, and causing an estimated R$250 trillion in damages. The second earthquake struck shortly afterwards, at 9:26 am, and lasted for 21 minutes, injuring another 300 million, killing another 20 million, and causing another estimated R$380 trillion in damages. More than 60% of buildings in Vermillion City, and more than 80% in Tanahog, were damaged or destroyed in the earthquakes, causing fires and mass flash flooding in low-lying areas. Total damages exceeded R$630 trillion; total number of civilian deaths, either from complications of injuries or as a direct consequence, exceeded 46 million people.

After the first earthquake, those near the coasts who survived were urged to escape to higher grounds, but most found the effort futile.

At 9:32 am, a 12-meter tsunami inundated the western coastline, causing another R$120 billion in damages, as well as injuring and killing another 3 billion people. The tsunami didn't recede until late that night, and the waters which carried debris, houses, cars, and materials from countless buildings took its stolen lives and treasures, including three massive oil refineries, out to deep sea.

1.9 billion people are currently unaccounted for, either having been buried under buildings, drowned, otherwise killed, or carried out to sea. 3.34 billion people lost their lives in the incident and their bodies recovered, and over 420 million people were injured. The public sector suffered a financial loss of more than R$750 billion, less than half of estimated damages to the entire nation.

Even three days after the indicent, many hospitals along the western coast are damaged beyond the capacity to treat their patients, and the emergency services of most cities are still struggling to restore order as entire hospitals take to the skies in helicopters. The Operatives' Division, CIA, FIB, COWTA, and National Police Agency have dispatched helicopters to rescue stranded people from rooftops and to deliver food and water. According to reports, extractions could finish in about three weeks.

The federal government convened on June 23rd, and the Prime Minister ordered all buildings in the nation to be upgraded in order to withstand 9.0 earthquakes. He also wrote a check of R$800 billion to the Federal Bank of Consigahria to help pay for reparations, a move that would ultimately put him R$300 billion in debt. Other federal governments sent financial aid.

As of June 25th, families light incense and candles in mourning, as construction crews work tirelessly in the background, to commemorate their fallen loved ones.

Prime Minister Davis X gives the throne to his younger brother

On the date of November 30th, 2136, Prime Minister Cornelius Davis X resigned from office due to illness, giving his control of the nation to his 21-year-old younger brother. Exactly what sickness has befallen him has thus far remained a family secret.

As of December 1st, C. Keenen Timothy G. H. Davis XI had ascended to the throne, where he would rule solemnly and beloved for over 11 years.

Era of the Oligarchy (2148 to present)

After years and years of bloodshed against various terrorist groups around the world and the acquisition of some of the Brasilistan Islands, Davis XI decided to go to war himself to see what his soldiers were seeing, so that accurate countermeasures could be considered. The Prime Minister was killed in battle. On the date of February 2, 2148, his mourning wife, Uzoma Meital Riese Davis, shuttered herself in an upstairs bedroom to hide her tears as, downstairs, her brave eldest daughter took the crown and the throne.

February 2148 riots

The succession of a woman to the throne is a remarkable historic achievement, in the words of other world leaders. However, as reported by many regional news networks across Consigahria, "over 200 million people took to the streets from the morning of Wednesday throughout Friday evening" (reported around sunset, Feb. 6 2148) in loud, boisterous, and violent protest. 21-year-old Prime Minister Chrysanthos Isabella Moshe Davis XIV is the first female Prime Minister in the nation's history, and some didn't take the news too well.

On the evening of Friday, February 2nd, 2148, a riot in Vermillion City became violent. Fires were started, and in an ensuing inferno, hundreds were burned and thousands were killed. Fire departments from twelve cities within the Vermillion City Metropolitan Area struggled for six hours to put the fire out.

Prime Minister Davis XIV ordered "anybody who trespassed on federal property" (an allusion to her home, her late father's place of rest, and her newfound place of work) "to be executed immediately, including anybody who launches an attack from off-site." So far, twelve citizens have been shot and killed by CS snipers in helicopters which had been constantly swarming the area, surveying damage.

According to the Federal Body, public protest is legal in most forms. In a nation of more than 22 billion people, suppressing protests could lead to either anarchy or militaristic secession. Where it crosses the line is when property damage and bodily harm come into play.

As of February 18th, the riots were contained, and over 800 people were arrested. No more people were shot, however the rioters killed twelve policemen. 54 people were sentenced for their murders.

Consigahrian Civil War

Almost immediately after their sentencing, mass riots broke out across the nation. Because civil war is illegal at the federal level, and because the nation had been under martial law for * years, the Corporal Service opened fire. A fraction of the civilian population erupted with gunfire, killing 50 CS agents. The National Armada was dispatched. During the two-year internal conflict, more than 1.49 million civilians were shot, killed, and cremated - women, men, and children - and 1.8 million soldiers of the National Armada were honorably discharged following serious injury or being killed in action.

Ships filled with large metal boxes containing cremated remains of the belligerent civilian army were dumped into deep ocean 200 miles off the coasts.

Those of the Consigahrian NatArms killed in action were also cremated, but in specific predetermined crematoria which had not be cremated a body from the illegal civilian army.

Economic Crash of 2150

As a direct result of the riots, many people who survived the civil war were incarcerated for life for treason and mass murder, and subsequently lost their jobs. This led to an economic surge, and then a crash: at first, those who couldn't normally get jobs were employed immediately, but multiple tragedies took place as some companies hired unqualified personnel in order to supplement their lost income. Total meltdown of four east-coast nuclear power stations plunged the entire eastern coast into darkness, excluding islands who by law had their own power source and piping systems. Prime Minister Davis XIV launched a nationwide project to repair any signs of the civil war, to promote a sense of community, and to replace the failed nuclear buildings with solar and geothermal power stations; in addition, she also outlawed slavery, however this was economically disastrous.

The nuclear fallout was contained by the Operatives' Division by unknown, undisclosed means. According to journalist Cedric Meyer of Vermillion City Journal, "It seemed that some of them could sense where nuclear contaminants where, and it seemed that others could, at a distance, suck the nuclear fallout off like a vacuum without ever touching it and without any harm."

From 2150 to 2189, the entire nation and surrounding waters underwent a psychic nuclear cleansing, and the mechanics of it were classified.

Prime Minister Davis XIV was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2180 and passed away in 2191 at 64 years of age, two years before her project was finished. It took 40 years to completely fix. Her son took the crown, taken by tears, 24 hours later.

The date of Davis XIV's death was March 26, 2191; and the coronation of 29-year-old Chrysanthos Moshe Davis XV took place March 27.

Consigahrian Population Festival of Summer, 2195 AD

Prime Minister Chrysanthos Moshe Davis XV succeeded in what his mother could not: he returned peace and financial stability to the nation in the first two years of his rule. His attempts to convince the population that his mother was a good Prime Minister are continually ignored, possibly because he only alludes to her being a good ruler.

As of the beginning of May 2195, approximately a month before the summer would begin, Consigahria's restored financial strength had spurred a population boom. With a total of 23 billion 27 million official citizens of Consigahria living with her borders as of March 20th, Consigahria reaffirmed herself as Spiritus's most populous nation with a national festival.

Foods of all kinds were cooked for the festival, deemed the Population Festival of Summer. As the temperature began to climb, an entire month was dedicated to cooking and eating food with friends, neighbors, and family. People of all kinds came together to play, laugh, cook, eat, sing, dance, and party. During the festival, school attendance was not mandatory, and tests were canceled; and the working class and upper class were given immediate paid vacations. For once, it would seem that Davis XIV's plan came to fruition.

In June, 2196, Prime Minister Davis XV reinstated slavery, greatly boosting the nation's economy.

The Chrysanthos Islands founded

On the date of June 22nd, 2196, Consigahria became somewhat imperialistic, taking another colony about 270 miles east-northeast of the nation by force, because the population density within the nation was nearing dangerous levels. The island was formerly known as a colony of Brasilistan, however after its dissolution and annexation by Consigahria, the island chain was named the Chrysanthos Islands.

The Chrysanthos Islands are a crescent shaped volcanic island chain. The total land area of the new Consigahrian territory is 20,610,614 square miles.
