Nadiya

Ever since the Winter Palace scandal, the relationship between the royalty and the people has been suffering a collapse in trust which can be seen in the horrible performances of the Princesses and Tsarina Association of Nadiya with them only securing 0,4% of the votes and losing their 5 senatorial seats. Yet the monarchy was tolerated by most of the population who didn't want to challenge the current status quo.

However, this tense relationship was put to the test today as a federal initiative asking for a second monarchy referendum managed to secure the required 10 million signatures and the approval of the NGA to hold a national referendum, Tsarina Carolina was notably absent during the vote which has been put on blast by the other representatives.

"The royalists whine everytime we ask for a second referendum to be held, but when it's time to vote on it they're absent." A communist representative says, "These Egelian royals, totally detached from the reality of the ordinary Nadiyan. At least Tsarina Anastasia and Tsarina Maria knee hardships, they fought for their titles instead of them being handed to them!"

After the referendum was held and the last polls closed in Radin, need outlets began making predictions about the outcome of the elections. Most of the outlets already declared the no votes to crush the yes votes in a +7 lead as they relied on post-vote polls that had the republicans as clear favorite across the 6 republics with Kozacchyna and Haivan even having them at 94% of voting records while Radin and Brakav saw the monarchists victorious.

Ultimately at 12:30 am, the NCEFT called the referendum for the monarchists as the yes votes managed to secure 53,2% of the votes, republicans won 46,5% of the votes, and the remaining 0,3% were white or soiled ballots that are automatically ignored during referendums. Even tho the monarchy survived the initial test, the second referendum held alongside the initial one saw the first option being the organization of Tsarina elections win by 73%. 

Already, Baek Chaewon has announced her candidacy to be the next Tsarina while two other local figured also declared their candidacy for the royal position. Carolina, on the hand, hasn't commented on these recent developments yet, but the results of the two referendums has sent a clear message to her that she must focus on Nadiya if she doesn't want to lose her position as Tsarina of Nadiya.
