A few days ago, The Western Commonwealth and a few other regions got raided.
The raiders carried out the raids because they alleged that TWC was a safehaven for bigotry. When asked for evidence of this claim, they produced this photo folder containing Discord messages written by TWC citizens that they claimed were discriminatory.
Numerous regions of the Free Bloc then left the alliance in protest after learning of the messages, saying that they did not like the fact that TFB tolerated this behaviour.
After this, The Free Bloc was on the brink of collapse, which resulted in even more regions leaving.
So far, the list of regions that have cut ties with TFB include: Odrya, Wintercrest, The European Commonwealth of Nations, The Finntopian Region of DOOM, Unidos Brasilieros, Saint Osmund and Merciam.
The official withdrawal notices of Merciam, ECN and Wintercrest can be found here.
The Free Bloc has now called a snap election to elect a new chairman of the alliance.

Following the raid on The Western Commonwealth, the former government of TWC has fled to TWC Temporary Home.
They mostly consisted of police reports concerning minor criminal offences committed by Prime Minister Solvein Morchands when he was a teenager, such as speeding, disobeying red lights and littering.
There were also some plans for lowering taxes that were never approved by the Sjevrean parliament.
Morchands' approval rating is now back at where it was before the controversy.
In other news, although Sjevre and The Armenians and the Kurds are now currently at war with each other, no actual fighting has taken place.
Current reports suggest they are attempting to spy on each other instead.
In addition to spying, both sides are also attempting to use cyberattacks to stop the other.
This was the case at the Kaliningrad nuclear power plant in Sjevre, which was shut down by a cyberattack by a German cyberterror group called "The Wolven League"- this left thousands living around the plant without much energy for several days.
Political analysts and experts have compared this ongoing period of non-violence to the Phoney War - the eight month period at the beginning of World War II where almost no military action took place.
There are also now reports that some Armenokurd generals are attempting to procure mustard gas, which is prohibited by the 1899 Hague Convention, as well as the 1925 Geneva Protocol.
However, these reports are yet to be verified.
All people of this great nation, be you Sula, Aplažan, Oruzian, or any other of the countless components of that alloy that recent events have forged ever stronger, you have all been through so very much. Through the ease with which you accept and adapt to our shaken world, the service you ordinary citizens have rendered unto those fighting to keep our ideals alive has been crucial to our survival. It's time we give you a stronger showcase of our appreciation. Today, the armies of the Nine Kingdoms and our allies will begin a full-scale offensive against the Oruzian horde that has so brutally enveloped the east of our ancient lands!
They will answer for their crimes. For Tseljonäja-Los, for Erfeäldir, for Luïf, for Ghüel. And for Vel Armënje. The city of sea and stone, heaven upon the earth for centuries past, will be ours once again.

She was surrounded by HM King Christopher II and HRH Prince Joseph at the time of her death.
Her body will lie in the Hall of Virtue of Suitstik Palace for two days.
After this, a state funeral will be held for her in the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception. The funeral process will adhere to Catholic traditions.
Messages of condolences have flooded in from around the world.
For example, Sjevrean King Josev Aszrymop III sent a letter to Azharian King Christopher II.
In it, Aszrymop wrote ""We have to stay strong in moments of grief, surround yourself with loved ones, bring out the memories of the good life. Life can't always revolve around happiness, sometimes we have to suffer, these moments are the best for that, also these are the best times to see the family again."
Potenzia, meanwhile, declared a day of mourning and ordered all flags to be flown at half mast.
Members of the Azharian public have been permitted to lay wraiths and flowers outside Suitstik palace.
There are now hundreds of flowers adorning the gate of the Suitstik Palace, and this number is likely going to keep increasing.
Apart from an incident at the beginning of the performance where the drummer dropped his drumsticks, the performance went mostly well and was met with applause.
Then, the first song ranking took place.
Currently, Vantier's song "As Jy Hier Is" has two votes, while the Kingdom of the Indus's song "Adiyae Kolluthay" also has two votes.
The two songs are tied.
For the past week, apart from a few skirmishes, the FIR halted most fighting.
The GBF forces sent a camera-equipped drone over FIR controlled territory.
They discovered buildings that were suspected to be holding ammunition and training camps.
Soon after this, the GBF Air Force launched a major air offensive, during which they bombed these buildings.
The FIR was unable to prevent this due to their relative lack of anti-aircraft capabilities.
Then, the GBF Land Force (Army) made several large advances, during which they cleared numerous villages and towns of FIR presence.
In a speech, the Defense Secretary promised a swift end to the insurgency with a decisive victory for Glory Be Ferret.
The North African Democratic Coalition (which controlls Libya and Tunisia) refused to send troops to help the Global Defence Pact (GDP), so Greater Rutan invaded them to "bring them into compliance".
Vantier offered to help Greater Rutan's invasion of the NADC - an offer which the Rutanians accepted.
So far, the Rutanians are attempting to sever Tunisia from Libya.
However, the NADC is putting some heavy resistance, and this has delayed the Rutanians' plans significantly.
After several years of not being involved in global affairs, Campalia has elected a new Prime Minister who wants to change this.
New Prime Minister Cien Fall has declared that the isolationist policy of her predecessors is over.
