22h 6min, jun 18, 1883 y - The Oipientian Constitution is Burned

Description:

At 11:06 PM on June 18, 1881, Tsĩvgalè Javik Tothek burned the Oipientian Constitution formed a new committee specifically made to create a new constitution that allowed Tothek to be able to seize absolute power in the republic. He blamed political rivals and specifically accused Senator Vaňèk Vorèkaš of the Vulxeš State who was later taken into custody and executed. Tothek constructed a fake plot to kill Rextèxec as well as Tothek with Vorèkaš leading it as an anti-Socialist conspiracy. This convinced the majority of Oipientians, but Tothek knew that he wanted to secure his power and with suspicions brewing in the Senate, he decided to write in the new Constitution, the ability to dissolve the Senate.

It was later written that same night at 12:24 AM and Tothek signed it into law. He later dissolved the Oipientian Senate on June 26, 1881 and officially declared himself as the Absolute Leader of the Oipientian Republic. He deposed many heads of the gov't and placed his supporters in positions of power. This helped him completely seize power and keep control of the gov't completely. He kept elections going but instead of guaranteeing free elections, each one under his administration was rigged to allow him to win. The name "Tothek's Republic" was used to refer to the Oipientian state during this time by foreigners. Tothek began to build secret camps in the barren territories of the nation specifically for his political rivals. Later, these same camps were repurposed by Tsĩvgalè Rekĩ Tasak during his reign of terror in the late 1940s.
