However, a secessionist movement that gained prominence during the protests against Queen Diana within the state of Luciano, known as the Republic of Cambria, emerged to declare independence. Its de-facto leader, [[Jacque Boudreaux]], declared that the entirety of the state was under Cambrian sovereignty, to which the Alecburghian government responded by denying their secession. In reaction to the government's refusal, multiple insurgents aligned with Cambria conducted violent attacks against civilian targets, specifically on April 21st in the [[Aires train bombing]] which killed 23 people, and the April 27th [[Mandalay bus massacre]] which resulted in the deaths of over 60 people, mainly international tourists. | |||
On May 6th, Prime Minister Creed stated that an agreement had been reached in which the Cambrian Republic would be granted autonomy within their declared state in Luciano.

The crisis largely subsided for the following month, with the exception of a lone-wolf bombing in [[Dawea]], neighboring [[Cyruda]], in response to their government's deployment of 2,000 troops in support of Alecburgh. Nevertheless, violence within Alecburgh became rare and infrequent until June 8th when Boudreaux unexpectedly demanded the annexation of another state with secessionist leanings; Mandalay.

2021 crisis and Cambrian War
On January 22nd, 2021, following a tense military buildup of Alecburgian forces on the border of Saint Croix and Bens and hostile diplomatic interactions at the 2021 Tregueux Leaders Summit, Queen Diana I removed Prime Minister Benjamin Warren from power and instituted absolute rule.

Member states in the SEIAA also condemned the developing crisis, and ultimately on March 10th, Queen Diana revoked her absolute rule and instituted national elections for a new government. Despite this, protests and independence movements in several parts of the nation continued.
Cambrian War
On April 4th, 2021, Sparrow Creed was elected Prime Minister to much generous reception from a majority of the Alecburghian public and the international community. However, a secessionist movement that gained prominence during the protests against Queen Diana within the state of Luciano, known as the Republic of Cambria, emerged to declare independence.

Effectively, Cambria was a sovereign nation with the stipulation that they would not be hostile to the Alecburghian people or government, to which Boudreaux and his representatives accepted. The crisis largely subsided for the following month, with the exception of a lone-wolf bombing in Dawea, neighboring Cyruda, in response to their government's deployment of 2,000 troops in support of Alecburgh. Nevertheless, violence within Alecburgh became rare and infrequent until June 8th when Boudreaux unexpectedly demanded the annexation of another state with secessionist leanings; Mandalay. The government refused, and terror attacks once again escalated. A mass stabbing at Saint Aliester Church in Venice resulted in five people being killed and sparked international condemnation, with the governments of Zamastan, Emmiria, Elbresia, and Siniapore for the first time endorsing the Alecburghian government.
