Plan for Modernist crisis

~Inspiration for this goes out to Dormill and Stituria . Thanks
Background:
The Equality Council is led by Rachel Alpin, the very benevolent dictator of Enchanta. The Council is only an accessory to her rule, and only exists to give a sense of democracy. To not raise suspicion, the politicians in the Council are removed from office every six years, and citizens can vote for new members. Although the official government work is performed by the Chief Executive, it is not acknowledged often. Even political rivals of Alpin tend to work as messengers for the Council. Rachel has a short temper, and has a secret blacklist of nations who anger her. However, this list is hidden from the public, to give an illusion of peacefulness in Enchanta. Rachel’s main purpose is to spread Enchanti beliefs and Equilsm throughout the Isles.
Note: ICly no one talks about the dictatorship openly. Enchanta must be referred to as a democracy.

Equilism is the principle faith in Enchanta, being practiced by 85% of the population, almost everyone is a member of the Church of Equilism or a related sect. Everyone in the Equality Council is expected to be openly Equilist and public policy is based on Equilism. The Council is in charge of the Church, since Rachel is a member. There is also an inquisition to ensure Church stability.
Actual Crisis:
As for the Modernists , they are an armed resistance that seeks to dismantle Rachel Alpin’s rule. The Modernists consist of anarchists, atheists and other people that Alpin opposes. Most of these people work silently and the ones who work openly have a distinctive marking on their body. Modernists, up until recently, have only slightly disrupted the work of the government or the Inquisition. However, since Rachel fell ill, many Modernists have stepped up their acts from minor acts of disruption to domestic terrorism. They have been organized by a charismatic leader named Analita Romanov who is currently in hiding. Now the Modernists have directly challenged the Equality Council and the news claims that the Modernists are promoting acts of violence against the nation.

Currently, Rachel is recovering from her disease and will be angry to find out what has happened. When she is able to go back into politics, threaten war. She will request League Peacekeepers to help but they will not come. She will declare a civil war against the Modernists (after an assasination attempt) and gather all Equilists and Enchanta’s allies to fight on behalf of the government. Refugees will be drafted to fight on behalf of Enchanta as well. There will be many battles and it will be a long war, then the Modernists shall stop fighting and the war will be over. However, no side truly one the war and the Modernists still have a strong presence in Enchanta. Enchanta will try to rebuild itself but it will still be politically shaken.
