'''The Communist Rebellion''' was the first rebellion in State history. Instigated by the Minister of Justice, Xinke Han, it encompassed nearly half of representatives from Parliament and the majority of the government sector. The group demanded a communist government after the Constitution was ratified, which made for a constitutional republic. Since it had been ratified by a narrow majority in Parliament, the Constitution passed but opposition culminated in the Communist Rebellion.
==The Rebellion==
The majority of the members of the Communist Rebellion were members of Imperia who had previously rebelled against then Emperor Auel, and now King Auel. Still harboring feelings of resentment for disbanding The Knights of the Round, as well as feeling that the formation of the State had left many of them screwed over, despite the long lasting loyalty of some of the members, Xinke Han and other representatives did not want Auel as the leader of The State.
The Big Three wanted a controlled government where the general population would be able to suggest legislation, but would be unable to pass any. The communists proposed a form of government without a King or Prime Minister where every person had equal voting rights.
Auel and [[Viral]] rapidly expanded the military while Prime Minister James tried to subdue Parliament. With the communists declaring a Communist government, King Auel initated the Martial Law clause within the Constitution, giving him absolute power over The State for three days. All communists are purged, and representatives of all member guilds either pledge their absolute loyalty to The State or are dismissed. Representatives are stripped of voting rights and are replaced with military personell loyal to General Viral and King Aue, effectively erasing democracy from The State.
Communist rebels joined the Bacseyian Confederation and skirmishes errupted between The State Military and Confederation forces within days.
