The new CPK government of Kalistan has introduced a bill to finally ban the use of paramilitaries and disband the irregular forces, establishing a new National Republican Army
December 18th, 4679

Paramilitary forces that were still left were already being disarmed by police and military forces, unwilling to fight for parties that have already disbanded themselves

Kaliburg: The new CPK government of former entrepeneur and now premier Brett Robinson has announced that one of their first proposed pieces of legislation will include a total ban on the creation and usage of paramilitary organizations. Following the dissolution of most political parties in the nation the paramilitary organizations belonging to those parties were left uncontrolled and in the dangerous possession of military equipment. The CPK, not having a paramilitary itself, decided that this situation could not persist and came upon the decision they made today.

Leaving armed groups without proper leadership in the possession of military grade weapons and giving them a status of protection in law is irresponsible and dangerous to our democracy. Therefor me and my cabinet have decided, together with the full confidence of the Assembly, to impose a total ban on the use of paramilitaries and to instead give the official national armed force of our nation the ultimate and sole authority to operate as our defense force. In addition to this we will reorganize the national armed forces to make it more effective and clear.

The new Armed Forces will be known as the National Republican Army. Consisting of 3 branches named the National Army, National Airforce and National Navy the NRA is said to replace both the current regular and irregular forces of Kalistan and serve as the sole armed force of the nation. Police units and current regular forces of the army have already started to disarm existing paramilitaries and no irregularities or gunfights have been reported as of yet, confirming earlier believes that the irregulars have no intention of fighting as they see no reason to following the disbanding of their own affiliated parties.

This law will mark an end to centuries of paramilitaries playing a major role in Kalistani politics and military policy and will likely mark a new era for the Kalistani people and government.

Presidential Powers
In addition to this historic decision the CPK also intends on reintroducing the former presidential responsibility of putting forward the national cabinet. This will still make the Premier the most important individual with executive privilige but will give the president a bit more control over the government and will make him more important for the entire political process in Kalistan. This power was taken away from the presidency in earlier decades but will now, with a CPK government, be reintroduced.
