=== r/place ===
At July 20th 2023, [[LittleBigPlanet Union|LBP Union]] abstained from r/place due to ongoing API protests so Taiyang took the initiative instead.
 
They have performed mass recruitments on Reddit and Discord in hopes of getting enough manpower, reaching at least 38 people by the end of r/place. That's about half of Union Task Force at 2022.
[[File:Rukplaceapprovingsackboy.png|thumb|480x480px|The voting at r/ukplace (later r/ukonplace) concluded that they should include Sackboy onto the British flag. One of the accomplishments done by the Republic of Taiyang and it's volunteers.]]
Arcadius volunteered to create templates of Sackboy, and everyone agreed that Sackboy should be riding on the Corgi during the UK diplomatic talks on July 22nd, 2023, Day 2. Taiyang successfully initiated diplomatic talks and convinced the administration of r/ukplace to conduct the vote.
 
The vote was overwhelmingly approved with 363 approvals and only 77 opposed. Thus Sackboy would be allowed to be placed and becoming apart of the template.
[[File:CorgiSackboyupdate.png|left|thumb|110x110px|The updated template of Sackboy]]
Over the times when it was at the canvas, it did not face many major foes other than streamers, raids, and a very close attack on the Corgi by a few streamers who just finished invading neighboring Denmark while manipulating as Sweden.
 
The Sackboy template was updated a day after it got approved to include the new colors added by Reddit and to have it shaded.
 
Both the Corgi and Sackboy has been eventually entirely destroyed by the letter "U" on the end of r/place, That would make up the message. "FUCK SPEZ".
 
The aftermath of r/place, Taiyang gained some benefits as they offered to give citizenship to the outside participants. As of July 25th, about 8 has become a citizen of Taiyang.


At February 22th 2022, They finally created a sign-up level for their clan, at a private server "Project Lighthouse". Since there is not a single clan yet, This would make Republic of Taiyang the first clan at a private server since the shutdown of the official servers.

Latest revision as of 18:11, 21 September 2023

Taiyang is currently active!
Ask their leader SamuraiEzoiar on PlayStation Network if you are interested in joining and check out their levels on LittleBigPlanet!


The Republic of Taiyang (Chinese: 太阳民國, Pinyin: Taiyang Minguo, Literally: Sun Republic), Also known as Taiyang, Fourth Republic of Taiyang, or more, is an inter-game clan mainly lead by SamuraiEzoiar, former co-leader of Foxarmy.[1]

The founder of Taiyang, Ezoiar describes this clan as the "Monument of Clanning" for attempting to revive clanning but kept peaceful and focus on collaborations.

Republic of Taiyang is also known for being the first clan active on a custom LittleBigPlanet server, being operated on the LBP Union's official developer instance of Project Lighthouse. which later influenced other people to create their own clans or join other's clans at the custom server.

Etymology

The clan first went with the name "Peacemaker Union", however since their original plans were scrapped later on, The "Peacemaker Union" were scrapped too. Afterwards they went with "Oriental Union" which was quickly changed to "Taiyang Union" due to a controversy to the word "Oriental". "Taiyang Union" would eventually become "Republic of Taiyang".

They would not mind being called China, and Republic of China.

History

Formation

The Republic of Taiyang was first founded on September 5th of 2020 as the Peacemaker Union as the successor of Foxarmy and several other clans. Throughout the rest of the year the Peacemaker Union's government would shift many times, deciding on new political ideologies to guide the organization frequently.[1]

Claimed Annexations

SamuraiEzoiar claims that their clan annexed former clans, or more simply joined, This would be Birdarmy, and other related former clans.[1][2] On October 10th, the Peacemaker Union declared that Portaljude2's Army had been annexed as a state along with a few others.[3]

Hybrid Regime

On November 15th, the Peacemaker Union adopted a policy known as the hybrid regime, which operated on the Three Principles of the People. This also resulted in an update of the clan's flag.[4]

On December 10th, the Peacemaker Union's administration decided to change the name of the organization. It was briefly discussed that this new name would be the Oriental Union. However, ultimately the new name of the clan was decided to be the Taiyang Union due to the potentially derogatory nature of the word oriental. The purpose behind this change was to better align the Union's style with far east-Asian cultures and governments.[5]

Finalization of Government

On December 30th, the Republic of Taiyang underwent another major reform which resulted in SamuraiEzoiar holding joint leadership over the organization. The Taiyang administration also scrapped its prospective formal alliance organization project, Clans United Front. The Republic of Taiyang considered these changes to be the final changes necessary before officially declaring the clan complete. They announced that recruitment would open in early 2021.[6]

Later that same day, the Republic of Taiyang formed an alliance with Toppat Clan after m88youngling's proposal.[7]

On January 2th 2021, Republic of Taiyang accepted The Toxic Regime's alliance offer, Making them allies for a while.

Minor Name Change

On January 5th, Ezoiar once changed the clan's name for the final time from Taiyang Union to Republic of Taiyang by a poll, It is also been told that it has a shorten name "Taiyang".

Taiyang Expansionism

On April 2nd 2021, Ezoiar made a Roblox group for Taiyang, making it now from Inter-LBP clan to Inter-gaming clan.

Influence Struggle

Ever since the shutdown of the LBP servers, Taiyang is in a tough spot of recruiting members, Mostly because it could not make a recruitment level and the collapsing community of LBP clanning. Because of this, Taiyang has plans to reform themselves that fit themselves to the current state of rest of LBP community.

Ever since the establishment, They have been quiet too.

From July 19th 2021 to September 10th 2021, They are going more quiet and hidden due to possible pressure from the Chinese Communist Party.[2]

Since September 10th 2021, They are de facto mostly in a standstill, However their leader(s) still remain de jure active. They will remain standstill until they can properly recruit.

2021-2022 period

Taiyang reached it's first anniversary on the 5th of September.

Following September 10th 2021, They have plans to abandon laws and everything government related except for its government, cities and political parties, to hopefully recruit easier.

They also have plans to revamp their clan to make it simpler.

Then they went under reformation at September 12th-13th 2021, It was declared closed clan until they were fully finished.

Following the same day, The LBP servers is officially back but did not bring back PS3 versions. Luckily for Taiyang that they did not do too much work on these versions.

Sometime late 2021 and early 2022, They had some unfinished proposals to create a federation. with a council representing every clans, one democratically selected premier from the council for each month and an eternal president. It was later forgotten as it wasn't necessary.

On February 22th 2022, The Republic of Taiyang created a sign-up level for their clan on the LBP Union's private beta custom LittleBigPlanet server, known as Project Lighthouse. The Republic of Taiyang is the first clan to operate on a custom LittleBigPlanet server. and at Mid-august, Taiyang has formed alliances with smaller clans at the custom server.

At September 17th 2022, The Republic of Taiyang elected their first president NEWVIXONLINE who was won unopposed since the opponent LoganTGT withdrawn their candidacy. However at November 3rd, SamuraiEzoiar replaced NEWVIXONLINE with himself as the acting president until the next election. which Er_BiyanoXD became a president.

r/place

At July 20th 2023, LBP Union abstained from r/place due to ongoing API protests so Taiyang took the initiative instead.

They have performed mass recruitments on Reddit and Discord in hopes of getting enough manpower, reaching at least 38 people by the end of r/place. That's about half of Union Task Force at 2022.

The voting at r/ukplace (later r/ukonplace) concluded that they should include Sackboy onto the British flag. One of the accomplishments done by the Republic of Taiyang and it's volunteers.

Arcadius volunteered to create templates of Sackboy, and everyone agreed that Sackboy should be riding on the Corgi during the UK diplomatic talks on July 22nd, 2023, Day 2. Taiyang successfully initiated diplomatic talks and convinced the administration of r/ukplace to conduct the vote.

The vote was overwhelmingly approved with 363 approvals and only 77 opposed. Thus Sackboy would be allowed to be placed and becoming apart of the template.

The updated template of Sackboy

Over the times when it was at the canvas, it did not face many major foes other than streamers, raids, and a very close attack on the Corgi by a few streamers who just finished invading neighboring Denmark while manipulating as Sweden.

The Sackboy template was updated a day after it got approved to include the new colors added by Reddit and to have it shaded.

Both the Corgi and Sackboy has been eventually entirely destroyed by the letter "U" on the end of r/place, That would make up the message. "FUCK SPEZ".

The aftermath of r/place, Taiyang gained some benefits as they offered to give citizenship to the outside participants. As of July 25th, about 8 has become a citizen of Taiyang.

Government

Historical governments

Former flag for Republic of Taiyang

First Government

The original government structure adopted by the Peacemaker Union on September 5th was partially democratic. The core government was necrocratic. Though the leader is alive, It was a poor word choice.[1]

Although a system of elections existed during this time, SamuraiEzoiar enacted a permanent policy which gives him full control regardless of who is in power. This system was replaced by the Second Government on November 15th, 2020.[1]

Second Government (Nov 15th 2020 - Dec 30th 2020)

On November 15 2020, SamuraiEzoiar reformed the Peacemaker Union, adopting a Dictatorship Hybrid Regime, with Tridemism few other adjustments.[1]

On December 10th, Peacemaker Union changed its name to the Taiyang Union.[1]

On December 20th, the Republic of Taiyang administration reconsidered their government structure and replaced the Hybrid Regime system with Socialism. The Second Government was eventually replaced by the Third government on December 30th.[1]

Third Government (Dec 30th 2020 - Sep 12th 2021)

On December 30th, 2020, the Republic of Taiyang further refined the clan's government by replacing socialism with democratic socialism. The Taiyang administration also instated temporary dual-leadership. If the Republic of Taiyang chooses to, dual leadership may become a permanent policy.[1]

Following that day, SamuraiEzoiar established a political party system.[1]

At September 12th 2021, A week after it's first year anniversary, Taiyang reformed itself to be more newbie-friendly therefore ending the third government. It means it is the current long-lasted government (257 days) in the entire Taiyang's history.

Fourth Government "更新政府/Refreshed Government" (Sep 13th 2021 - Feb 22th 2022)

Due to severe growth statistics, Taiyang planned to reform itself to be more fitting as a small clan, such as abolishment of laws, temporary military-free, abandoning the idea of early constitution.

They have also established autonomous regions or local governments.

The proposal also affects leadership to be more secure control to prevent leadership go to the wrong hands, despite being a democracy. Which means Ezoiar is a "permanent leader", or rather eternal chairman until he decides to resign completely.

Most of these effects last until they reach enough members to securely reestablish.

The fourth government de-facto ended when the sign-up level was established.

Fifth Government "國民政府/National Government" (Mar 3rd 2022 - present)

SamuraiEzoiar standing in the press conference room.

Taiyang started to reform itself completely, Firstly they will no longer be neutral but they will be mostly defensive if they were to be attacked. Secondly, they are planning to create a ranking system with a profile card.
