The Belgian Civil War (BCW) is a political fight that was mainly held on the eBelgian forum between the beggining of august and the end of october 2011.
It opposed two parties that were called "The elites" and "The opposition" by the second group that fought for the political hegemony on eBelgium. During this war, the political eBelgian landscape has drastically changed.

Before March 2011
The BCW is a latent tension that comes from the process that lead to the destruction of the United Netherlands and the creation of eBelgium between January and February 2010. At this time, the two major alliances PEACE GC and EDEN sent thousands of soldiers in eBelgium to make it independant from the other group. [1]
When the soldiers left, two parties counting members of each side remained, that later became Belgium for Belgians and Res Belgica. The BfB dominated the belgian political landscape up to April 2011 (with 9 presidents elected).
Here is the evolution of the number of congressmen of BfB between April 2010 and August 2011:
As major party of eBelgium, the Belgium for Belgian party, with ThomasRed usually considered as their leader, has taken the habit to lead the country, with some members that has always been active.
During these times some voices began to rise against the control exerced by the BfB over the country.
The BfB Political Takeover attempt
A group called "The Opposition" has been created in opposition of the BfB hegemony[2]. They reproached the BfB to base his power on his very high amount of 2 clickers, whom were not participating in the active life and should not be deciding of the political landscape.
Critically ran in BfB as party president candidate of "The Opposition" against Jamster737 the legitimate BfB candidate that eventually won the elections.
This act was condemned by most party leaders of this period and Res Belgica who was the leader party of the opposition crumbled fastly, being renamed later Bro's B4 Ho's by Shadowukcs and becoming the smallest belgian party.
However, even if the PTO attempt failed, it opened a breach in the BfB and one week after the elections, some eminent members of the BfB like Pieter and Mittekemuis decided to create their own independant left party United Left Alliance on the ashes of the Belgian Communist Party lead by Theneka at this time. Other BfB members followed them which weakened the party.z
Political landscape redrawal
During the following months, the strength of the BfB continued to decline when most remaining active members left the party in the beggining of may to create the pro-merger party All TOgethers with the notable exceptions of xironn and Jamster737.
Later in may, ThomasRed abandoned the Belgian citizenship to provide a production boost for the Belgian Army Forces communes. This will have a strong psychological effect on BfB members as his activity will loose his visibility and that he will be more focused on military affairs than before.
In July, Wolfenn, a 2 clicker gained the PP elections of BfB, showing that there was a major organizational problem within the party (even if he resigned during the month).
While the BfB, was loosing his leading ability and slightly changing his political orientation, the 4 other main parties were involved in a fight for the country domination:
File:Congress Belgium June-August.jpg
The Belgian Communist Party was founded in June 2011 by Monsieur Guillontine and fastly gained a lot of strength, related to the high amount of non RL belgian joining his ranks. Despite having a communist project, their ideology for the belgian state is liberal and this is the reason why they sided along with Res Belgica.
The fast rise of BCP and RB lead to a new power equilibrium. While those two parties used to be in the opposition, they gained enough strength to pretend to be the leading force and overthrow the historical power.
Events around the war beggining
Here are listed the events that happened just before and at the beggining of the Civil War but not related directly to the BCW.
On the 28th of july, Critically propose to reinstate the Supreme Court. It is accepted 3 days later and Boklevski, Goopypants and Jofroi are nominated as judge on the 8th of August.
A training war with the United Kingdoms is launched on the 1st of August.
After the departure of the king and queen of eBelgium (Mittekemuis and Pieter557) of eBelgium, the monarchy is voted down by the congress on the 3rd of August.
On the 5th of August, a proposal to change the constitution is made. It fails due to the lack of votes.
On the 5th of August, Fhaemita Malodorous propose to overhaul the admin team due to the high amount of rank 1 director. It is rejected by 7 votes against 6. On the 10th of August, shadowukcs propose to remove Innos and Manong from the admin team of the forum, due to inactivity. This is rejected with a tie vote.
On the 6th of August, Critically (as All TOgethers candidate)is elected as eBelgian Country President , and Jofroi is nominated Vice President.
Belgian Civil War
The No Pain No Gain Act
A Resistance Hero taxation proposal has been made by Jofroi 2 days after the beggining of the training war. The problem of the law enforceability is submitted.
Goopypants proposed a first draft of the “Belgium Defense Accountability Law” that propose to tax CP,CM,RH,CH and BH medals. “Failure to donate the required funds means that that person cannot participate in the BTA, the BAF, or any loan or grant programs funded by eBelgium for the current election cycle / month.”[3]
Following discussions will involve discussions about BAF funding, a topic that is traditionally loved by the opposition as only a restricted amount of people has access to that funding.
NLSP split on the 4th of August the proposal of Goopypants into a “No Pain No Gain” part that concerns the punition of a citizen in case of law breach and a Medal Tax Act that will be quickly abandoned. After that split, the ATO-ULA alliance will consider two different debates (medal donation and NPNG) while RB-BCP group will consider that both debates are linked as the NPNG could be a first step that would be followed by a medal donation proposal.
On the 5th of August, NLSP propose the No Pain No Gain act which allows to exclude a citizen from state donation if it is proven that he has breach a law. It is rejected. While the debates heat up, Xgentis L’empereur evoke the creation of a new forum for the first time of the war.
On the 6th of August, Shadowukcs brings on the table the argument of “you buy tons of gold with VISA every month. You don't mind if you lose 5G a month or not” . This argument will be used a lot of time later in the war as most members of RB-BCP are not gold buyers while some members of ATO-ULA are. The monetary changes (like gold donation etc) are less affecting the gold buyers as they have other sources of gold income which might affect their decisions, according to the opposition. Moreover they stated that, as the BAF is the main user of the state treasury and that most members are from ATO-ULA-BfB, gold donation are expected to come back in their pocket, which is not true for the other people.
On the 7th of August, Jofroi proposed an illegal import tax change lowering on weapons raw material. Some members of the government claims that the proposal is supported by the government which make troubles as the government is not supposed to give any orders to the congress (which lead to a scandal and the demission of a minister in a previous government a few months before). It is accepted and followed a couple of days later by another import tax change on Food Raw Material. As a protest, the State Secretary of Defence, Xironn, propose an impeachment against Critically. It will be heavily repealed but Xironn will be shifted to Ministry of Fun (that is considered as a firing) and be replaced by Prophexy.
New proposals with 15% import taxes will be voted a couple of days later, due the high amount of complains.
On the 7th of August also, last debates about the NPNG law occurs. 3 days later, NLSP propose a new draft of the NPNG that is accepted with 12 votes against 8.
The No Pain No Gain Repeal
Has to be written.
