Much to the relief of the Ceylonian government, the Takosenic Wars would come to an end in 1823, before any advance from Qabór could be made against Ceylonia, allowing the country’s government to begin allocating its resources towards domestic troubles, such as the aforementioned New Yapokee Movement. Due to his declining health, Antonio Vargas would retire from his position as Ceylonia’s first president in 1833. He would be replaced by [[Victor Rodriguez]], who was regarded by his peers as a much weaker leader. Despite said opinions of him, Rodriguez would bring true democracy to the country by implementing quinquennial free presidential elections starting in 1835. Despite this, only ethnic Sarpedonians were allowed to vote in these elections, angering all of the indigenous communities. Rodriguez’s term as president would end by 1845, when he was replaced by Daniél Chavez in the 1845 election. By the 1850s, under Chavez, the NYM would spread to all of western Ceylonia, and the approval ratings for the already unpopular new president had dropped significantly. Chavez blamed the people’s discontent on the coercion from the NYM, claiming their intent was to reform Ceylonia back to a Qabóri puppet state, with the interest of only a few select groups taken into account, rather than the entire population. Despite this, the majority-indigenous communities still held a large grudge against the Lusophonic regime, and sought to take it down.

=== Ceylon Civil War ===
=== Late 19th century to 20th century ===


The increased tensions between the New Yapokee Movement and the Ceylon government would escalate to full on skirmishes in Ceylonian cities. The Tierradorian government, now more stable after the House of Woqelee took power, became more sympathetic towards the NYM rather than the Ceylon government, which dealt a massive blow to the government.
The increased tensions between the New Yapokee Movement and the Ceylon government would escalate to full on skirmishes in Ceylonian cities. The Tierradorian government, now more stable after the House of Woqelee took power, became more sympathetic towards the NYM rather than the Ceylon government, which dealt a massive blow to the government. While Ceylonia was being supplied arms from the Cartadanian government, it was almost nothing compared to the support from the Qabóri Woqalate to the NYM, especially after the former’s conquest of the [[Western Republic (Crona)|Western Republic]] in the previous decade. On March 6, 1881, three tribes in northwest Ceylonia (Atofee, Chauakee, and Bausiji), declared their independence. This move, supported by Qabór and Istrenya, shocked the government in Santa Maria, and in response, immediately declared war on the tribes, beginning the Ceylon Civil War. Eventually, as the independence movements became stronger, more tribes would declare their independence from Ceylonia. In 1887, newly-elected Ceylon president [[Cesar Tathas]], being of Bausiji descent, sympathized with the movements and even promised to give the tribes partial autonomy if they agreed to end the war. However, the goal of the tribes independence was non-negotiable by their standards, and the war would rage on for another six years.


=== Late 19th century to 20th century ===
On February 5, 1892, President Tathas would meet with the tribal leaders in Antakee, along with Qabóri [[Woqala of Tierrador|Woqala]] [[Tataía III]], in an agreement which would eventually end the Ceylon Civil War. The terms of the agreement included the establishment of 27 Tribal Nations, in which the borders of these nations would be established with sole consideration to the makeup of the country’s indigenous tribes, along with the addition of the Chamber of Tribal Emissaries to the country’s already bicameral legislature, which would become one of the two most powerful chamber in the Ceylon National Assembly, the other being the Popular National Assembly.
