The Englean Republic became a ''de-facto'' republic when the Emperor was forced into exile from the nation by elements of the [[Kaiserliche Heer|Englean Imperial Army]] which were sympathetic to the republican cause led by Reichstag member [[Ferdinand Pfitzner]] in 1918. Although the nation would create the office of [[Federal President (Englean Republic)|president]] soon after, the nation never gained the status of being a republic ''de jure'' due to the Emperor having never abdicated. A new constitution was written and adopted after the nation signed an armistice with [[Rezua]] in 1918, which solidified the nation as a parliamentary democracy with all citizens having the right to vote. The president would be granted the ability to serve three terms in office, with 4 years each. In addition, the chancellor would be appointed by Reichstag majority. | The Englean Republic became a ''de-facto'' republic when the Emperor was forced into exile from the nation by elements of the [[Kaiserliche Heer|Englean Imperial Army]] which were sympathetic to the republican cause led by Reichstag member [[Ferdinand Pfitzner]] in 1918.

The Taufor Republic (Tauforer Republik), officially the Englean Republic (Engleanisches Republik) was a short-lived nation founded after a coup d'etat which forced the exile of Emperor Wilhelm III from the nation. The name "Taufor Republic" is an unofficial designation for the state, due to its offical capital from 1918 to 1922 being the city of Taufor.
The Englean Republic became a de-facto republic when the Emperor was forced into exile from the nation by elements of the Englean Imperial Army which were sympathetic to the republican cause led by Reichstag member Ferdinand Pfitzner in 1918. Although the nation would create the office of president soon after, the nation never gained the status of being a republic de jure due to the Emperor having never abdicated. A new constitution was written and adopted after the nation signed an armistice with Rezua in 1918, which solidified the nation as a parliamentary democracy with all citizens having the right to vote. The president would be granted the ability to serve three terms in office, with 4 years each. In addition, the chancellor would be appointed by Reichstag majority.
While having extreme elements exist in the nation as a result of actions deemed "treason" by loyalist factions, the nation operated as a republic and claimed itself to be the legitimate representative of the Englean state until 1922. October of 1921 would see the beginning of the end for the Republic, as Emperor Wilhelm III had returned from exile and found great support from the populace. Many generals who had sworn alliegance to the new republic had joined the forces of the Emperor, with much of the Republican Defense Army joining the cause. Upon entering the city of Engelberg in November of 1921, security forces of the republic had been deployed to halt his movement further into the nation. It has been reported that the young monarch stepped out in front of the soldiers and his supporters, ripped open his coat and shirt and stated "If any of you will shoot his Emperor, then here I stand before you." In November of 1922, the Emperor had amassed a large mass of supporters and marched with an army under the command of General Heinrich von Straißler on the republican capital.
The republic would come to an end soon after, with the resignation of the government and restoration of Wilhelm III as monarch. Those responsible for the coup in 1918 were arrested and tried for treason, with each being sentenced to execution for "high treason" and "conspiracy with the enemy during a time of war." There is a rumour that the Emperor himself had performed the execution of former president Pfitzner, but it has not been confirmed.
