Navidadian System: Difference between revisions

With the collapse of the Estado Social in 1994, the provisional governments of Delepasia entered into [[Negotiations for Loa emancipation|bilateral negotiations]] with the leadership of Loaland, who by that point were increasingly becoming more and more antigovernment, for Loa emancipation and representation. In 1995, prominent Loa politicians were released from prison, the "Loa laws" were repealed on 18 August that same year, and the Loa-majority states of Kalanatoa and Na'aturie were formed where Loaland used to be.

Loaland could control its own education, health and police systems. Loa were not allowed to buy {{wp|hard liquor}}. They were able to buy only state-produced poor quality beer (although this law was relaxed later). Public beaches, swimming pools, some {{wp|pedestrian bridges}}, {{qp|drive-in cinema}} parking spaces, {{wp|graveyards}}, parks, and {{wp|public toilets}} were segregated. Cinemas and theatres in Delepasian areas were not allowed to admit Loa people. There were practically no cinemas in Loaland. Most restaurants and hotels in Delepasian areas were not allowed to admit Loa except as staff. The Loa were prohibited from attending Delepasian churches, but this prohibition was never strictly enforced, thus making churches one of the few places races could mix without the interference of the law.

As the anti-Loa rhetoric within the government got worse and worse, so has resistance against the regime increased, resistance involving both Loa and Delepasians alike, the latter of which the result of exhaustion against an internationally-hated government that seemed to have no signs of changing its tune. In the military, a group of left-wing officers formed the clandestine [[Democratic Rebirth Society]] with the idea that, because of [[Nicolas Torres]]'s indecision upon being blocked by the Pascualist stronghold, revolution was the only way to bring forth the changes need for Delepasia to make it to the year 2000 without collapsing outright.

On 30 April 1994, members of the DR Society overthrew the Estado Social in a military coup. What was initially meant to be a military uprising aimed at reorganising the political structure and loosen much of the laws that had been the cornerstones of the Navidadian System soon became a popular revolution once tens of thousands of Delepasions spontaneously poured into the streets to celebrate the downfall of the regime and began to demand further change than what was initially hoped for. The transition to democracy and the end of the Navidadian System was an arduous process that nearly put Delepasia into a state of civil war. However, the provisional government soon got its act together and began to negotiate with the Loa leadership in 1995. After several weeks of negotiations, the provisional government agreed to completely dismantle the Navidadian System and to reintegrate Loaland, splitting the old protectorate into the two Loa-majority states of [[Kalanatoa]] and [[Na'aturie]] with equal status to the other states of Rumahoki, which now became a {{wp|federal state}} instead of a {{wp|unitary state}}. Other changes included the exoneration of any and all Loa who were arrested and detained for opposing the Navidadian System, the re-enfranchisement of Loa voters, and the reversal of the forced citizenship strippings. By 1996, the last remnants of the Navidadian System was removed when Navidadia became [[Junu'urinia Ba'andasi-Navidadia]], complete with a new flag to represent Delepasians and Loa living together.
