Lytpatri then declared independence from the United States of America.
Constitution Crisis of Lytpatri
Head of the Council and Pope of Lytism Iris began having doubts about their creation of a democratic constitution, and formed the militant Light of God Group in an attempt to secure full theocratic and dictatorial power. The Light of God Group took temporary control of the government, until the Pope decided democracy was in fact the best system, and reestablished the Democratic State.
An hour after that decision, the Pope turned away from democracy again, and as the sole member of the Council abolished the Constitution and Government, forming the Holy Sovereignty of Lytpatri.
