The 2019-20 Gran Aligonian crisis, also referred to internally as the Abdication Crisis (Aligonian: Crise de Abdicación), is an ongoing political upheaval on the island-nation of Gran Aligonia. Catalyzed by a labor protest held by the Aligonian Migrant Worker’s League in October 2019, the protest soon became far larger and more diverse, drawing on common criticisms of Gran Aligonia’s then-monarchical system of government that had been building over the past several decades.
