Independent Nation of Campestrem

The very next day, the first day of Dolo, 228, Ren assigned the Colonel of the 5^th Resisting Division, John Fel Osborne – who was the father of Michael Osborne – to draft a constitution for their new nation, which he set about doing. Osborne Senior and his son had very differing views on the NRR at that point; whereas Osborne Junior had spent years in government in the NRR, and had spent years of his life fighting to keep it alive, his father felt that he owed the NRR nothing, and had returned to his homeland in the CR to help his family, friends, and countrymen years before the Rebellions. The Independent Nation of Campestrem (INC) still had no official government or government structure. It was unofficially led by Ren, as he was the leader of the Rebellion. Worrying that a power vacuum would be created, the remaining members of the IFC felt that they needed to make a mark on the Campestrem, and cement their position as the leaders of the INC. In response to the thousands of Civilian Deaths sustained during the Battle of the Balka, Ren ordered the execution of the 80^th Avenging Unit’s Centurion, Liassem Horatian. By now, Ren was immensely popular with the citizens of the INC, which benefitted him greatly, and this execution served as a signal to much of the INC that the IFC were the leaders of the bourgeoning nation.

Legoian Prison Break

On the 11^th of Dolo, 228, Ren received a communique from the imprisoned General Krennic that requested an audience with the INC’s de-facto leader. Ren, unsure of what the purpose of this discussion could be, agreed to meet the defeated General, who told Ren that he believed there was nothing for him in New Rome, except perhaps a firing squad (the unofficial but expected consequence for a commander losing Roman Territory to opposing forces). He offered his Loyalty to the INC in exchange for a pardon and INC citizenship, citing the treaty Ren signed with the NRR, which stated that “The INC declares that all former citizens of the NRR living within the INC shall be granted INC citizenship.” Ren told the General to give him a week to decide. In the meantime, he offered the 38 Roman Soldiers (but not the Centurions or Band Tribunes) who hadn’t yet surrendered a second chance at a pardon and transport. 27 of them accepted, leaving just 11 Roman Soldiers and officers still refusing to surrender, despite being imprisoned. Among these were still the two Osbornes. Despite all of his Father’s effort’s, Michael refused to see his father’s revolutionary ways. After a third opportunity to surrender that none accepted, Ren signed the execution order for all 11, scheduled for the 18^th of Dolo. Early in the morning of the 16^th, Ren was awakened by an explosion at the Legoian National Prison, where a group of self-proclaimed “Loyalists” who continued to be loyal to the NRR had blown a hole in the wall of the prison. They helped the Roman Soldiers imprisoned there out of prison, and managed to get them to a small private aircraft at the Legoian Airstrip. Of the estimated 50 Loyalists, 3 died during the escape attempt, along with one Prisoner. The Osbornes escaped during this confrontation. However, of the three Loyalists who died, one was Perseus Osborne, Michael’s third-born child, who had been believed dead for just over 4 years, but had secretly been working as an NRR Spy in the colonies during that period. The one prisoner who didn’t make it off the tarmac was Maria Osborne, Leo’s wife, and a fellow NRR Military Engineer. Although she was a traitor to the EotLP cause, it was never clear whether she had been shot by an INC soldier or accidentally shot by one of the Sympathisers, and Emperor Ren posthumously pardoned her of any “perceived” crimes. Because of Ren’s expressed respect for Michael Osborne, many assumed that he may have allowed the escape to happen, to avoid having to execute Osborne. Some people also believed the whole affair was staged by the INC Military, to try and keep resentment towards the NRR peaked. However, the most notable event wasn’t the escape, it was the list of who did not escape. General James Krennic, of the New Roman Counter-Expeditionary force in Campestrem, remained in his cell despite its door being opened by Loyalists. Just one cell away, Stefan Sidareta, the Centurion of the 60^th Avenging Unit, which had conquered Spar & Brutuville, also remained in the Prison, along with his 1st Band Centurion (and rumoured lover), Colin Quintus Rotuso. However, Yan Segira, who’s forces had decimated the 2^nd Resisting Division, along with 5 of the 6 Band Tribunes, had escaped back to the NRR. When asked why he remained, Krennic repeated his request to Ren: he would give his loyalty to the INC in exchange for a Pardon. Sidareta echoed this request. Ren once again deferred his decision by a week. However, he didn’t need to wait that long. When they arrived in Nova Italia, a National Court found Segira & all 4 Band Tribunes guilty of loss of NRR Territory & Treason, and sentenced them to execution. They were executed the next day, without even a chance to appeal the ruling. On hearing of their sentencing, Ren understood why Sidareta, Rotuso, and Krennic would choose to stay. After he was officially made Emperor of the EotLP on the 28th of Dolo, he granted their pardon as his first Imperial Decree, but declined their offer for immediate military service. They were given modest positions within the in the newly formed EotLP Bureau of Statistics.

The EotLP's Constitution and Birth

On the 26th of Dolo, 228, John Osborne returned from a long session of deliberation with several other advisors, and offered his Constitutional proposal to Ren and the other Rebellion Leaders. It retroactively designated Ren as the Emperor of the "Empire of the Lego Plains (EotLP)", a position which was to be held by Ren for as long as he saw fit, until he considered the EotLP in a stable enough position to support a large bureaucracy, when he would pass leadership of the nation to a freely elected Body of Representatives. Ren and the other members of the IFC agreed to this, and signed the Constitution Draft the next day, the 28^th of Dolo, 228, dissolving the short-lived INC, and retroactively creating the Empire of the Lego Plains (effective from the 38^th of Actaber, 227), with Sergio Ren it's first Emperor.
