The Plurinational State of Richensland (PSR), also known as the First Republic, was a transitional government which governed Richensland from 3 November 2020 to 2 May 2021, after the Declaration of Establishment of the Plurinational State of Richensland was signed by former prime minister M. Ryan, future vice president Nyck Bradaten and Nayli Aleesya. It succeeded the Kingdom of Richensland, which it overthrew and preceded the Second Republic (May - October 2021).

History

Immediately after the overthrow of the monarchy, M. Ryan, was practically left in charge of the nation. Knowing that it was not likely possible to govern the nation without the help of the Guardian Leader, he appointed himself the president and Nyck Bradaten, who he overthrew as the vice president.

M. Ryan resigned on 18 November 2020 and as a consequence Nyck Bradaten became the president. The office of prime minister which was vacant as the time, needed to be occupied as it was the head of government. For that reason, he appointed his cousin Rifqi Hanif as the prime minister on 5 December 2020.

To replace himself as the vice president, he appointed Nayli Aleesya but she resigned on 11 December. Rifqi was then appointed as the subsequent vice president.

Activities

The PSR had several goals in mind to achieve.

The PSR changed Richensland's government from an monarchy to a republic. It planed to write an interim constitution for the nation which was achieved on January 8, 2021. Part of that change included changing the head of state, moving such status from the King of Richensland to the President of Richensland, with M. Ryan as its inaugural holder. However, the title of Guardian Leader and the office of prime minister, ministries and overall system of governance was retained.

Richensland was only aware of the wider micronational community from this point of time onwards and so it became the duty of the PSR to desolate the nation and present Richensland as a reputable micronation to other micronations. Instead of that happening, the plan of advertising the nation backfired (see controversies).

Controversies

The PSR intended a friendly presence on the wider micronational community. Instead, the PSR started the Richenslandic Diplomatic Crisis, after an unsuccessful attempt on joining the Grand Unified Micronational. This tarnished the reputation of the PSR effective immediately, though the aforementioned crisis' effect is not felt as much today as compared to when it initially started.
