Constitutional Convention created and ordered to start drafting articles of the Nadiyan constitution as 84% approve of it through a referendum: the final and decisive step

Zarvosopol, Kozaki. Today the first day of the constitutional convention has finally started after a referendum regarding its creation was held with 72% turnout and 84% of  voters saying yes to launching the constitutional convention immediately. The convention composed of 200 seats with 50 seats allocated to the indegnous population and 20 seats to the Nova Beagukiyan minority while 30 other seats were divided with the remaining ethnic minorities, however what makes this convention stand out from any other one in Terra is that its members are all teachers, experts, and lawyers in the domain of constitutional law and rights. This requirement put forth by the Unification Protocol aimed at making sure the constitution of a future unified Nadiyan state would be based on the interests of the people and the human rights by separating political parties from the constitutional convention, the experts can easily and calmly work on writing the articles of the constitution that citizens themselves can suggest through the newly created government page named MySuggestionForNadiya.gov.ny. Currently according to the commission's preliminary feedback, its servers have received 50,478 requests which has forced them to install a requirement that any proposal must at least have 100 thousand online signatures, this specific requirement coincidently came after a famous suggestion of making the right to walk naked in the streets while wearing diapers was submitted which resumes in online virality and thousands signing the proposal as part of a joke. Fortunately, the CC aborted that suggestion and banned any suggestions deemed as "too absurd for the healthy functioning of the future state." The convention is expected to firstly clear through the requests made by citizens while voting and drafting constitutional amendments on a 2/3 majority basis as all 5 republics have 20 seats each to compliment the 100 seats that ethnic minorities are controlling, the decision to allocate 50 seats to the indegnous and 20 seats to the Nova Beagukiyans caused a wave of controversy as many considered the seat numbers as unfair and over the top especially with the Nova Beagukiyans who barely make 4 million of the population yet have as much power as one of the 5 republics. However, SG Dovhan defended the decision by reminding that the convention is composed only of constitutional law experts who will base their propositions and amendments on previous constitutions of Nadiyan & Trigunia alongside constitutions of foreign regimes to create a constitution among the best ones in Terra.
