2018 Malichkan civil conflict

On May 12th, 2018 a conflict arose between the Royal Family, led by King Antun IV of Malichka, in cooperation with the Ministry of Defense and the Malichkan Royal Federal Police, and Prime Minister Marko Dugandžić and his cabinet, the 2nd since the 1990-91 conflict, following 2 months of political crisis.

After dissolving the corrupt regime, the Royal Family vested executive and legislative powers in its leader and ordered the judicial branch to operate under its directives. In addition, it partially repealed the 2011 constitution, save the second chapter which concerns the king, arrested and detained Dugandžić supporters, lifted Internet censorship laws and freed the media.
