And so it ends. The Morawski regime is officially over. Despite surviving only in technicalities, today marks the end of its existence by all means, after Valruzian citizens have gone en masse to vote whether to approve or reject the new Valruzian Constitution drafted by the constitutional Sejm after almost four years of work. 

Although some citizens started to fear that the day would never come, today that fear is gone. With a turnout of 91%, no one can claim that this new Valruzian Constitution has only decided by a few. Almost 81 million valid votes, of which 84.6% (68 million) have decided to vote in favor of the Constitution, with 15% of citizens voting against it (nearly 12.5 million citizens). Valusia and Chynberg are the Voivodeships with the highest percentage of support for the Constitution, whereas Gryfit is both the Voivodeship with the lowest support and the lowest participation. You can see the full results HERE.

The new Constitution, which you can take a look HERE, turns Valruzia into a parliamentary Republic, with a Head of State (President) and a Head of Government (Chancellor), a Parliament (Sejm) and a clear separation of powers between them all. Valruzia becomes a unitary but heavily decentralized republic, where each Voivodeship shall celebrate their own regional elections to elect their regional governments and parliaments, with the following preliminary title: 

Valruzia is hereby established as a social and democratic State, subject to the rule of law, which advocates freedom, justice, equality and political pluralism as highest values of its legal system. National sovereignty belongs to the Valruzian people, from whom all state powers emanate. The political form of the Valruzian State is the Parliamentary Republic.
Section 2. The Constitution is based on the indissoluble unity of the Valruzian Nation, the common and indivisible homeland of all Valruzians; it recognizes and guarantees the right to self-government of the nationalities and regions of which it is composed and the solidarity among them all.

Surprisingly for some, not so surprising for others since she was elected as President not a year ago, thanks to the political influence of the Communist Party of Valruzia and its leader Karolina Pietrzyk, and with the consensus of the other "fathers of the constitution", the right to State intervention in private companies in the public interest and the facilitation of access by workers to ownership of the means of production have been also enshrined in the Constitution.

Valruzia is back on the international stage, and we invite everyone from Seleya and from the whole Terra to come, visit and develop a friendly relationship with our new flourishing country.

has said Karolina Pietrzyk before a cheering crowd that was starting to meet in the newly named Constitution Square, in the heart of Nowogard.

A concert by various famous Valruzian artists followed to celebrate the approval of the Constitution, and younger and older generations danced together to welcome the new era in front of Valruzia.

Now, legislative elections are due to be celebrated to elect a new Sejm in charge of appointing this time the first Valruzian democratic government, but they are due to happen next year according to the temporary provisions included in the Constitution. The leader of the Military Junta, Marcel Szumski, who did not manage to become President of the nation he helped coming back from authoritarianism, also made a surprise appearance next to President Pietrzyk, and both of them shared an emotional hug that also represents the feelings of many, many Valruzian families.
