Glorious Revolution

The Glorious Revolution was a period of political upheaval in Taijitu in the late summer of 2014 that discarded the seven-year-old Republic of Taijitu in favor of a direct democracy where all citizens could vote.

As the population of Taijitu drastically fell between 2012 and early 2014, and activity declined with it, widespread resentment against a Senate perceived as powerless and a Constitution perceived as a barrier lead to various attempts to increase activity, including two separate short-lived monarchies.

In June of 2014, Sovereign Dixie returned from a years-long hiatus and seized the region's delegacy. Sovereign Dixie's government suspended the Senate and Constitution and instituted acts intended to boost activity; however, by the end of July he was unreachable and the effort seemed to have stalled. In August, demands for change became more pronounced and by August 20 a poll was undertaken to decide the future of the region. The voters narrowly chose to organize a new government over abolishing it altogether and on August 28 Myroria, the organizer of the August poll, declared a revolution, replacing the Senate and Delegate with a directly democratic body called the Ecclesia.

Regional growth closely shaped the course of the Glorious Revolution. Myroria's "three-month plan" to encourage recruitment among Taijituans met its goal after one month, and in response to this growth a convention was held to draft a new constitution. The new Constitution of Taijitu guaranteed a list of rights to the region's inhabitants and reaffirmed the supremacy of the Ecclesia.
