Narikaton and Darnussia

[Mbites]

Senate passes „Dual Republican Constitution of November 5704” and signs MATO treaty

November 5704 (backdated)


Berger arguing in the Senate.

After finalizing its post-independence relations with the City State of Himmelshtern almost two months of squabbeling in the Senate, President Bigman Berger has managed to finally pressure the GRP into approving the new constitution reinstating the Dual Republic of Narikaton & Darnussia.

The conservatives have made several concessions to the GRP mostly consisting of a constitutional guarantee for allowing Unions to exist, which seems as a minor reform but for Narik-Darnussian standards, this is huge, before this concession Unions where only allowed in very limited circumstances and only for workers in specific sectors, these days are gone now. Other issues have more or less reinstated pre-Triad democratic institutions; Federalization has been abolished and Bannerhafen now again holds all power, the President has been strengthened and can now only be sacked by a constitutional majority in the Senate. In a compromise with the smaller parties, the VVP agreed to learn from the lection that was Schuhbeck and has limited terms for Presidents to three, which means at most a President can serve for fifteen years. Elections are now no longer held by the general executive but by an independent branch which only is overseen by the constitutional committee of the Senate. Lastly, proportional elections have been introduced completely and majoritarian systems in all ways have been abolished which has been well received by the general public.

Berger not only succeeded in passing the new Constitution and forming a steadfest fundament for the Dual Republic, he also immediately gained the support of the Senate for signing the MATO-treaty which means that the Dual Republic is now officially part of this organization. Market forces have reacted positively as rumors and announcements regarding big arms contracts and ease of trade hindrances are expected, Bigman has spoken about “unleashing the economy” and teased economic schemes planned for his second term.
