The Empire

Late 2012

On December 10, 2012 King Emmanuel I decided to ban the Niitic language (Ref 1), on the basis that it was associated to the older, "foreign" Pangratian state. Major reactions erupted by those citizens of Mouzilo who had been involved with the project of Pangratia. Baring in mind that Mouzilo was the historical successor of Pangratia, and that Niitic had become part of the Mouzeliot culture by that time, they could not agree with this new development, leading to very vocal protests. In reality, those protests had less to do with the banishment of Niitic, and more with Emmanuel I's rule, who had been ruling Mouzilo with a strict, egoist and authoritarian policy seen as aggressive by the rest.

Great Prince Emmanuel played a major role in those protests which greatly determined Mouzilo's future. Being personally against the King's authoritariam policies and seeing that he was being given the chance to transform the state into a more open regime, he joined the team of protesters and managed to replace King Emmanuel from the throne, who left Mouzilo and did never return.

Emmanuel established a provisional government, mostly known by its initials in Greek ΠΑΔΜ (Προσωρινή Αυτοκρατορική Διοίκηση Μουζήλου, Prosoriní Autokratorikí Diíkisi Mouzílou, "Temporary Imperial Administration of Mouzilo"). This provisional government lasted about 2 days, when, on December 12, he self-declared and was crowned the Emperor, writing a new chapter in Mouzilo's history books.

Ref. 1: Niitic was the official language of Pangratia, a micronation extant between 2010 and 2011, with with both Triantafyllou and Afentoulis were invoved
