History

Founded recently, unfication of the area now designated Stopmenow100 ocurred after a period of disunity known as the Jotley Period Warring Period. The name comes from the man under whom most of the area was unified for about twenty years, John Jotley.

Jotley was able to win an election to president Presidency of what was then The Official Union of the Southwest States. Within three years, President Jotley order the seizure of a large amount of residential and commercial area in the Northeast region of the country to construct the largest military complex in the history of the country.

The locals objected on moral grounds and later questioned the legality of the Exective Order (officially titled Executive Order JJ 10). The resistant to the action, fragmented at first, eventually united under Randolph Williams, a local mayor. Upon seeing the resistance mounting, Jotley order the Union Special Forces to commence an attack on the area in question. After military leaders refused, Jotley fired them. Questions quickly arose about the legality were made, and the Union Supreme Court ruled that the order was a crime against the Union Supreme Constitution.

To counter this threat, Jotley secured the support of a General Jeremy Treadal. Jotley and Treadal were able to gain an unprecendented amount of support among the military. Jotley then declared the constitution to no longer hold power, and that the government now consisted of two branches. This placed the whole area under a feudal system with local regions under the leadership of local strongmen who reported a council of advisors who then reported Jotley. This branch was the Official Legislative Branch. This branch, essentially Jotley, was able to pass any law deemed necessary to naitonal security.
