Following the Pultria Crisis, the FCA was in dire need of reform. The military was out of control due to lack of military commanders, the nation's bank was often running low due to lack of taxes, and the other nations of Alathra began to fear the FCA's growing power. Furthermore, the Senators were concerned about entangling the FCA in foreign conflicts similar to the Pultria Crisis Thus, Chancellor Cody29797 held a council with the Senators over two days in order to draft a new government for the FCA. |

===The First Schism=== |

Despite the reforms brought forth by the Second Constitution, there was still discontent among some of the Senators of the FCA, namely Lord watchoftartarus of Romanus Silva, King Artemis III of Lathoringia, and Prime Minister spiceymonkey1349 of Uhovia. The new taxes from the Constitution along with fears of the Senate interfering with their towns made them distrustful of the rest of the Free Cities. In addition, all three leaders shared monarchist views, believing that a council of Senators was too cumbersome and slow to govern compared to an individual ruler. Eventually, the trio began to consider secession to create a Kingdom of Arith which would guarantee their rights as sovereigns. Chancellor Cody soon caught wind of their plans, but instead of lashing out against them, he met with them to negotiate their terms of exiting the FCA. |

Historians attribute the fall of the FCA to its massive size and large distance between towns, making communications difficult, as well as the FCA being more of an alliance between city states, each who felt little to no connection to the other. |

On August 7th 2021, the FCA was officially dissolved, with the secessionists forming the monarchist Kingdoms of Arith (KOA) and the loyalists forming the republican Federation of Arith (FOA). While the monarchists were pleased to have independence, their secession weakened the FOA, which emboldened the former FCA's overseas enemies. |
