South Tussenland: Difference between revisions

Throughout the 1890s, several intellectuals in South Tussenland began writing about political freedom, nationalism, and republicanism. However, unlike the former governments of New Netherland and Tussenland, the theocratic government of South Tussenland, now led by Otie II, did not stop these ideas from taking root in South Tussenland. In fact, Otie II had actively encouraged the discussion of these ideas in the spirit of three pursuits. Throughout 19101901 to 1909, there already had been multiple calls and petitions for a more republican structure of government, and at one point, in 1907, the Zoekerist Church held a referendum for a republican government, and was wildly popular among all the social classes in South Tussenland. However, the biggest benefactor of South Tussenland, the Mexican Empire, did not allow South Tussenland to shift to a republican government, as this would only inspire and agitate the ongoing republican movements in Mexico even more. Despite this, Otie II was still looking for ways to reform the structure of the theocracy, including the establishment of a parliament in 1909. When the Mexican Empire fell to a republican revolution in 1909, South Tussenland lost support from Mexico. Intellectuals began drafting up a new constitution for South Tussenland. In 1910, they presented the new proposed government to Otie II, and on 1911, the new constitution was ratified.
