The '''Pachoy Rebellion''' is an ongoing armed uprising in [[Pachaug]], an [[International charter city|international charter city]] in [[Crona]]. The conflict originated out of a series of monthlong protests against the continuation of Pachaug's charter city agreement with [[Urcea]] which escalated dramatically on the morning of 17 April [[2032]] with a mutiny of Pachaug's [[Nysdra Sea Guard]] garrison. The domestic government of Pachaug soon split along radical and moderate lines, with both factions forming (or re-forming) a government for the territory. The more radically inclined Provisional Republic held most of the territory until the intervention of the [[Chenango Confederacy]] in May 2032, which deployed its military to subdue the rebellion. By the end of the month, Chenango forces had besieged Pachaug's inner city and naval base in order to avoid major bloodshed. | The '''Pachoy Rebellion''' is an ongoing armed uprising in [[Pachaug]], an [[International charter city|international charter city]] in [[Crona]].

The Rebellion was seen in Urcea as the general conclusion to the decades-long political reorganization that occurred as a result of [[The Deluge|the Deluge]]. It revealed that the political arrangements made during that period - arrangements that were largely pragmatic and defensive in nature - were no longer appropriate. The rebellion and its aftermath were the culmination of several years of post-Deluge reorganization, beginning with the transition of [[Housatonic]] towards independence and the annexation of the [[Unnuaq Mission State]] by [[New Harren]]. | The Rebellion was seen in Urcea as the general conclusion to the decades-long political reorganization that occurred as a result of [[The Deluge|the Deluge]].

It also caused a reevaluation of Urcea's role in the [[Nysdra Sea]] region in both Urcean politics and society, leading to a greater recognition of NSTA members as peers rather than clients. | ||

Pachaug was a member of the [[Northern Confederation]] for centuries prior to the events of the [[War of the Northern Confederation]] and [[Algosh Coup]], after which time it fell under the political dominion of [[Algoquona]]. It, along with sister-city [[Housatonic]] chafed under ethnic Algosh domination, and sought ways to regain political autonomy. The end of the [[Treaty of Narasseta]] between Algoquona and [[Urcea]] provided this opportunity. Urcea's Levantine allies launched [[Operation Western Blizzard]], which allowed Pachaug to declare de facto independence and sign an [[International charter city|international charter city]] agreement with Urcea in [[2017]], giving Urcea some economic control over the city in exchange for a high degree of political autonomy and military protection. The agreement greatly benefitted nearby Housatonic, but Pachaug's economic position declined relative to it and generally throughout the 2020s. Additionally, the [[Final War of the Deluge]] brought about Algoquona's destruction, meaning the threat to Pachaug had largely receded by the late 2020s. Many Pachoy also began to feel that the Urceans exhibited favoritism towards Housatonic. In [[2029]], Housatonic was given full permission by Urcea to abrogate its charter and convene a constitutional convention, and Housatonic became a republic in February of [[2030]], even receiving the Unnuaq Chain territories from Urcea following their full independence. Perceptions of anti-Pachoy bias, the negative results of 13 years of the charter agreement coupled with the decreasing need for military protection led to a major political change in the [[2030]] elections, as 14 members who were partly or completely anti-charter were elected to the Pachaug Communal Council, an increase of 6, which gave them the majority. Taking office in 2031, the new anti-charter majority worked slowly and deliberately at first, especially considering that the charter agreement itself required a unanimous vote of the Communal Council to abrogate. Negotiations with Urcea were slow, and many Pachoy perceived that Urcea was intentionally blocking efforts to reform. As a largely symbolic gesture, the Communal Council voted on 15 February 2032 to unilaterally abrogate the treaty. The vote failed, with 14 voting for and 6 against, failing to meet the unanimous threshold. | Pachaug was a member of the [[Northern Confederation]] for centuries prior to the events of the [[War of the Northern Confederation]] and [[Algosh Coup]], after which time it fell under the political dominion of [[Algoquona]].
