Collapse of Cand Youkeons

The Collapse of Cand Youkeons was a geopolitical disaster involving the complete disintegration of the Cand Youkeons central government and the formation of many small youkeonian states.

Government downsize
On 13 January 2114, the Cand Youkeons Central government underwent an internal reform, which saw the downsizing of many government agencies, including the military. This downsize was popular among the Youkeonian public, but angered many politicians and military generals.

Early independence movements
With the government downsizing, law enforcement and the military was significantly reduced. Minority groups in the southwest and east started a series of protests for independence from the federation. The Youkeonian colony of Tarraziel declared its independence on 29 January 2114.

Collapse
On 12 September 2114, various military factions declared their independence from the central government, drawing manpower from the large number of unemployed ex-military personnel.

Civil War
The small Youkeonian states started fighting with each other, all seeking to take over all of Youkeonia. During this time, Vallgrund, Standhem (predecessor of the Norderon Socialist Union) and Moravia emerged as the main powers in Youkeonia.

CSLYMY invaded parts of Cand Youkeons on 13 September 2114, leading to a coalition between numerous small Youkeonian states, with the Lanthal Union being declared on 21 September 2114.
