March Schism

The March Schism was a large diplomatic event that occured during mid-March, 2019. The Eggmay Times, which had quickly become the most prevalent news source for unofficial Tradelands, had brought together many nations for it's newspaper. What originally intended to be just a weekly summary turned into a diplomatic hotspot. The Eggmay Times Discord Server, however, had numerous arguments as many opposing figures were in the chat.

The start of the schism is debatable, however the first signs of a true rift forming was when large scale rioting within the server forced Eggmay Times senior personnel to step in. The rioters refused to listen to the Eggmay Times officers, and soon began insulting them as well. Verbal fighting broke out between all sides, and many figures were banned, kicked, or muted. This would see the alliance between the German Central Tradelands Squadron and Kingdom of Karmon broken, as King TNT railed against the squadron, calling them "tyrants" among other words. It became clear that the Eggmay Times was collapsing, and Chief Executive Officer RaedXD deleted the Eggmay Times server.

Following this, diplomacy ceased between many of the major nations. Where communication had once been quick and direct, suddenly all the former Eggmay Times League nations were left in the dark. This would lead to the squadron initiating the Reconstruction Protocol, which essentially left the squadron is isolation for it to sort it's problems out on its own.
