In 2023, Sisubiso began to use his strengthened position to replace most senior Confederate and military leaders with individuals loyal to him. As the [[Final War of the Deluge]] reached its conclusion, the administration began to signal its belief that the Occident would once again thrn its attention to the Alpachnees. A major media and propaganda campaign drove a public narrative by 2025 that the country needed a "strong leader" willing to dispense with the traditional construction of the Confederation.
In 2023, Sisubiso began to use his strengthened position to replace most senior Confederate and military leaders with individuals loyal to him. As the [[Final War of the Deluge]] reached its conclusion, the administration began to signal its belief that the Occident would once again thrn its attention to the Alpachnees. A major media and propaganda campaign drove a public narrative by 2025 that the country needed a "strong leader" willing to dispense with the traditional construction of the Confederation.
On 8 May 2025, a major demonstration began in Opa-Loka demanding government reform, and these demonstrations were suppressed by forces loyal to traditional Council leadership. The Sisubiso administration and its military allies seized this incident as pretext to arrest the members of the Confederate Council for “crimes against the people” on 11 May 2025. On 12 May 2025, a counter-coup was defeated and martial law was established in Opa-Loka. On the morning of 13 May, President  Sisubiso cited the arrested Council as evidence of the failure of the traditional system, and proclaimed himself Emperor of the Alpachnees, dispensing with the centuries-old Confederation government. These events, known as the “May Days”, were largely enabled by the loss of domestic opponents to Daxia and Kiravia.
The newly-styled Emperor Balu I, recognized by most Deluge participants, spent most of 2025 consolidating control and pledging a new, Occidental-style constitution at a future point once national stability was reestablished.
