1965 New Aurentia insurgency

The 1965 Pacifican consitutional crisis was an incident that occurred following an extremely narrow victory for incumbent Prime Minister Reynold Davis and his deputy, Aaron MacDonald.

Prelude
The electoral districts of the Eastern Islands, Douglas Valley, Eastern Mackenzie, and New Quebec were the four districts that came extremely close in the election. While the former two were considered to be won by the Socialists, the third one was won by the Conservatives. The main problem was that the latter had to be recounted multiple times until it was considered that Davis won the area by 318 votes. Meanwhile, the Progressive Conservatives (formed from the historic Conservatives and the Liberty Party that opposed Davis) and even the New Tæóich Party disputed the legitimacy of the conclusion.

Tension in Southern Pacifica
Meanwhile, in the New Tæóich region, many were discontent with the lack of attention they were given in many positions. The region did somewhat have a number of things in common with Quebec back east as the southern districts were predominately non-English speakers who were slightly incompentent with the capital's command.

Assassination of Aaron MacDonald
During one of Reynold Davis' visits across the country, disaster struck for him while he was with MacDonald in Auchtermuchty. Allegedly, the latter had been shot in the foot due to a miscalculation made by his assassin. He later ate some food that was tainted with paraquat, and died about an hour after.

Truth and Unity Party
With many seeking protection from inside threats within Pacifica, they turned to a man by the name of Ronald Middleton. Having created his own party in 1963 after calling out the Conservative Party as a "loyalist group full of yes-men," his group saw a large amount of support from the general public either because they themselves disagreed with Pacifica's relations to the United Kingdom or they were tired of both them and the Socialists.

New Tæóich Insurrection
Soon after, conflicts between Ektæó- and Anglo-Pacificans spurred up until the late 60s. A controversial paramilitary force known as the Organisation for the Liberation of the New Tæóich Homeland came into power thorugh use of many methods from peaceful rallies to acts of terrorism. Overall, they would claim up to 2,700 lives until its forced disbandment in mid 1967. Additional terrorist groups were able to kill somewhere between 10-45% of that amount when combined together.
