This delicate internal balance of power was not upset until 1845 with the coronation of Clement Alexanders as king. The new king overestimated the degree to which time's passage had dampened hostility towards Pembroke-Havelock rule and began violating the unwritten rules of the division of powers between the royal and ducal governments, sparking outrage. This was especially true of the southernmost duchies. Even under previous kings their interests had often been neglected as a result of their geographical distance from Wolchegrade and Floresque and their underrepresentation on the Ducal Council. | This delicate internal balance of power was not upset until 1845 with the coronation of Clement Alexanders as king.

Kingdom of Novmir
[Pembroke-Havelock Union]
[Unification Wars]
The union formed from these wars was a precarious one. While the king officially held absolute power, the resources of Macovy and Floresque were limited and the throne was thus heavily reliant on the cooperation of its vassals. Recognizing this, Martin Anatoles used his royal powers sparingly as well as established a Ducal Council whose opinions, while not formally binding, were respected. This system of de facto federalism was observed and held the kingdom together for just over a century.
This delicate internal balance of power was not upset until 1845 with the coronation of Clement Alexanders as king. The new king overestimated the degree to which time's passage had dampened hostility towards Pembroke-Havelock rule and began violating the unwritten rules of the division of powers between the royal and ducal governments, sparking outrage. This was especially true of the southernmost duchies. Even under previous kings their interests had often been neglected as a result of their geographical distance from Wolchegrade and Floresque and their underrepresentation on the Ducal Council.
Tensions finally came to a head when on April 2, 1851 Clement Alexanders issued the Decree on the Opium trade to combat the spread of opium dens in northern cities. The new law imposed crushing taxes on the sale and production of opium, an important source of income for the southern duchies. The duchy of Pelargir seceded two days later and following a botched attempt to reestablish royal control others followed, beginning the Novic Civil War.
The war raged for four years with neither side making significant advances on land. The Royal Navy, however, successfully imposed a blockade of the southern duchies. The economic pain this created finally prompted an uprising in Pelargir which lead the duchy to sue for peace. Pelargir's attempt to end the war prompted its allies to follow suit and on August 19, 1855 a general peace was agreed to under the Treaty of Serebursk. As part of the treaty the Kingdom of Novmir was ended and replaced with its successor state, the United Empire of Novmir.
