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. | 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 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. | 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. | ||

====Constitutional era==== | |||
Following the Treaty of Opa-Loka, the remainder of Emperor Balu's domestic enemies were largely ceded to Daxian and Kiravian control, allowing a further consolidation of power. Accordingly, with the country largely stabilized, Balu implemented the Constitution of 2031. The Constitution concentrated most powers in the office of Emperor, and most Occidental observers have criticized it as a "veneer of constitutional legitimacy" applied to the existing personal rule of Emperor Balu. The Constitution was adopted following a national plebiscite, with 98% of voters allegedly voting in favor. | |||
