The Downfall of the Breckland Republic is the official name for the coup d'etat which occurred in Breckland. Several members loyal to the then President, overruled the senate and granted the President emergency powers, the President then gave a speech to the nation and senate declaring a new order was upon Breckland with the creation of a grand Empire, to be called the Breckland Empire, ruled over by the Supreme Emperor.
