Despite these changes, Rothgerus inherited a declining economy, with inflation at a thirty year high. His economic strategies to deal with inflation, the cost of living, and wages saw much mismanagement at a local level and ultimately overlooked the improvement of working and living conditions. Union strikes only worsened the situation. The declaration of independence by way of a successful coup d'etat of the provinces of Horkalo and Redrugus, which housed the headquarters of the [[Imperial Navy]], resulted in [[Great Morstaybishlia#State of Morstaybishlia|Morstaybishlia's biggest ever constitutional crisis]]. Rothgerus successfully oversaw an [[Auroran Continental Assembly|ACA]] and [[International Forum|IF]] condemnation of the [[Great Morstaybishlia#State of Morstaybishlia|State of Morstaybishlia]]. In 2004, Rothgerus authorised an invasionary force into the breakaway provinces in what would be known as the [[Great Morstaybishlia#Morstaybishlian Secession War|Morstaybishlian Secession War]]. Despite making territorial and materiel gains near the end of his term (including the mutiny and recapture of the [[Wikipedia:INS Vikrant (2013)|''Baltassar''-class]] aircraft carrier MBS ''Baltassar'' which drastically swung the war effort), the constitutional crisis greatly damaged his political reputation and led to a Conservative landslide victory under [[Walter Johannes]] in the [[2005 Great Morstaybishlia General Election|2005 general election]].
 
Rothgerus, despite his very divided popularity, would continue to defend his seat as a MP for Banaslow, Fort Jubrayn. Rothgerus rejected an invitation to be elevated to the House of Peers in the 2019 Honours List. Rothgerus celebrated his 100th birthday on 26 November 2020 and is the oldest ever living Prime Minister of Great Morstaybishlia, as well as being decorated as the longest continually serving Member of Parliament in the nations history for a period of {{age|1956|08|12}} years.
