| Major [[Ah.com_politics|political]] crisis that currently has AH.com [[cabinet|government]] and [[ahcom_parliament|parliament]] in shambles. | Major [[Ah.com_politics|political]] crisis from 2008 that brought the AH.com [[cabinet|government]] and [[ahcom_parliament|parliament]] into shambles. |

| It started when on September 7, Prime Minister [[Demosthenes]] ([[Evil_party|EVIL]]) announced that he Imperial Government would run out of money on September 13, at 2PM eastern US Time, and that already $300b were missing. Appalled by this, Members of Parliament [[Susano]] ([[federalist_federation_of_federalists|FFF]]) and [[LightInfa]] ([[Evil_party|EVIL]]) demanded an investigation, and Susano even threatened a vote of no confidence. Demosthenes promised a report, which he presented September 8 - but the report merely said that the money had "vanished", and recommended no action to be taken. | It started when on September 7th, Prime Minister [[Demosthenes]] ([[Evil_party|EVIL]]) announced that he Imperial Government would run out of money on September 13, at 2PM eastern US Time, and that already $300m were missing.

| Seeing this as an insult of Parliament, Susano and LightInfa decided to start a vote of no confidence, which LightInfa tabled at the evening of September 8. In reaction to that, the Minister of Vengeance, [[maverick]], staged a support rally for government, where Demosthenes threatened that parliament wouldn't work again if the vote of no confidence passed. However, by September 9 rumours circulated of an outright coup d'etat planned by Demosthenes, something which EVIL MP [[TheDarkServant]] confirmed: He told that Demosthenes had requested military aid from the appropriate AH.com ministers, and went as far as to suggest that MPs should leave Parliament lest troops loyal to Demosthenes could capture them. | Seeing this as an insult of Parliament, Susano and LightInfa decided to start a vote of no confidence, which LightInfa tabled at the evening of September 8.

| After Don_Giorgio, a Lieutenant in the AH.com Armed Forces, pledged his loyalty to Midgard, the Acting President also made him the Acting Supreme Strategos of all AH.com Forces, bypassing the now suspect military cabinet level. Nevertheless, Susano had doubts about the loyalty of the forces, and hence whether trusting them to crackdown on the situation would be sufficient. His fears were that if he was in custody and the forces were still loyal to Demosthenes and the military conspirators, there would be no resistance against the coup. Midgard however managed to diffuse these fears, and hence Susano was first to follow the order to turn himself into custody, an order that was then also extended to Evilmittens, High Strategos of the Ground Forces, who at this time seemed likely to have supported Demosthenes. | After Don_Giorgio, a Lieutenant in the AH.com Armed Forces, pledged his loyalty to Midgard, the Acting President also made him the Acting Supreme Strategos of all AH.com Forces, bypassing the now suspect military cabinet level.

| At the late evening of this troubled day (European time) both Evilmittens and Demosthenes appeared. Evilmittens claimed to have received absolutely no communication from Demosthenes, and eventually turned himself in. Demosthenes appeared later and did likewise after personally having been promised a fair trial by the Acting President. With that, the crisis ended, though the political systems remained in ruins. Currently, martial law remains in force, and preparations have been made for a Constitutional Convention to prevent these kinds of thing from happening again. | At the late evening of this troubled day (European time) both Evilmittens and Demosthenes appeared.
