Tsarina Maria abdicates the throne and appoints Anastasia as her successor, Anastasia called to campaign in the upcoming elections to become Tsarina: a leap toward Kerisian unity

Zoetergraaf, Brakav. From the halls of the Floral Palace in Zoetergraaf, the most shocking news emerged today as the current incumbent Tsarina, Maria the First, has announced her abdication from the throne in favor of her niece Anastasia Alexanderova due to the Tsarina being in a married lesbian relationship with her wife Elizabeth and the fact that she has no children, specifically daughters, has meant that unless Maria directly chose her successor it would prevent a potential succession crisis from occurring as Chaewon Beak and her daughters are also in the scession line. As a result of the abdication, the Nadiyan throne has sent an official emergency letter urging princess Anastasia to come home alongside her husband and start a political campaign to get elected into the NGA in order to be officially recognized as a legitimate heir to Maria, this means that Anastasia and her husband, the crown prince of Egelion, will have to debate, convince, and persuade voters of being good politicians and thus worthy of being elected into the legislature. The 2 royals are expected to become members of the Princesses and Tsarina Association of Nadiya, which as seen its position in the polls collapse due to them carrying out their biggest promises and not bringing in any new ideas or goals other than representing the royals. Finally when Maria was asked to mention the reason why she abdicated, she simply replied with "I don't want to be an old hag who dies on a throne, instead I would rather want to see my successors grow and become successful, but also I especially don't want my transition of titles to be accompanied with mourning unlike the other monarchies who would want to rule until death itself is begging them to let go."
