The Ferguson secession attempt was an attempt by Logan Ferguson to overthrow the Commonwealth of Faltree following a vote of no confidence against his office as Provincial Governor of Breuckelen, beginning on 16 December 2023 and lasting till the next day as Ferguson ceased his attempt of secession.

Background

Logan Ferguson was elected Provincial Governor of Breuckelen on 4 December 2023 in an uncontested election, immediately drawing the chagrin of prominent Breuckelen citizenry as they did not vote for his administration. Throughout his tenure, Ferguson engaged in little activity besides changing the flag of Breuckelen to a design by Matthew Laptev. On 16 December 2023, Ferguson declared martial-law in the Province of Breuckelen following non-existent rioting allegedly caused by members of the Constitutional Democratic Party. Ferguson doubled down his attempts to control Breuckelen after Faltrian citizens criticized his tenure and made comments on his weight. Ferguson declared a "dictatorship of the proletariat" and threatened to suspend elections until the alleged riots ceased[1], wherein Lord-Secretary Jebediah Powell immediately called out Ferguson for his blatantly unconstitutional attempt to prevent elections.

Powell initiated a vote of no confidence in Ferguson's office, wherein citizens of Breuckelen unanimously voted him out of office. Before being officially removed from office, Ferguson resigned and renounced his Faltrian citizenship whilst transitioning the People's Republic of Niagara's discord server into the "Faltrian Revolutionary Socialist Republic." In response, the Commonwealth of Faltree illegalized the Communist Party of Faltree on grounds of "attempting to secede from the Commonwealth of Faltree" and "undermining the Faltrian Proletariat." After a seeming mental breakdown via Microwiki edit summaries, Ferguson ceased his attempts to undermine the Commonwealth of Faltree on 17 December 2023.
