       Estovasian Referendum!
       By: Twinky827 Date: April 30, 2017, 5:04 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       For many years, Estovasian citizens have looked upon the
       republics and democracies of the world with longing eyes.
       Radical theorists, as they were once called, have become some of
       the largest and most powerful nations on the planet, one of
       which event managed to fend off the might of the Royal
       Estovasian Armed Forces. These citizens, for several years,
       especially since the end of the war and the declining of the
       king's sanity, have called for a reformation of the government.
       Eventually, after mass demonstrations were held in the Capital
       of Farbanti on New Year's Day, 1920, the king has given in, and
       allowed for the first referendum in the history of Estovasia.
       Some claim that this is unfair, as the king at this point is
       completely senile, however as society is today, the monarch's
       word is absolute. There are three options for the Estovasians to
       choose from..
       Option One, The Preservation of Absolutism:
       This option changes the government in no noticeable form, and
       would only cement the king's power as absolute and true ruler of
       the country, from now, and to forever. However, for the first
       time in history the prince will take control of the country
       before the king is dead, as a result of the king's apparent
       insanity.
       Option Two, The Compromise:
       This option will allow for the Monarchy to continue it's
       existence, however, it will be a limited constitutional
       monarchy, with a senate of representatives from each of the
       administrative regions currently existing truly holding the
       power, and a Head Senator to represent them.
       Option Three, The Abolishing:
       This option will completely remove the monarch from all his
       power aside from figurative. An entirely new representative
       republic will take the control of the nation, and a President
       will be elected based upon another referendum hosted after this
       one, assuming this option passses. This is the most radical
       change, and if chosen, would most likely lead to international
       concern about the security of monarchies...

       As the citizens eagerly looked at the newspaper in the morning,
       many hugged and cried tears of joy.. However, a larger amount of
       people were completely baffled. On the morning of February 17th,
       the newspaper read;
       "As it stands, 62% of the population in total had voted in the
       referendum. 79% voted to completely abolish the monarchy's
       government power, whereas 18% have voted to maintain a partial
       amount of power. The option to allow our monarch to rule
       absolutely only received 12% of the votes. This means that the
       monarchy's power will be absolutely abolished, and the monarch
       given a super superficial position."

       A man picks up a tattered newspaper laying on the ground, and
       begins reading;
       "After the monarch stepped down, fearing for his own life and
       his family's life after seeing the result of the vote, the
       country currently has no set in stone government. The nation has
       no centralized government anymore, and the only remaining
       authority that remains is the state-advisers (The king had a
       council of advisers that he put in moderate control of the 10
       administrative regions of Estovasia). This council of 10
       advisers has come up with a government system that will allow a
       democratic process to take place, as the people have requested.
       The people will vote for 50 new advisers, or Bellots (meaning
       counselor in Estovasian), and the 50 of them will vote for a
       Bellotprazidat, who will act as the commander-in-chief of the
       armed forces, as well as be able to veto any proposition that
       the Bellotcaunsat proposes. Propositions themselves can be
       proposed by any Bellot, and voted on by the rest of them. Each
       Bellot will serve a term of 2 years, and will only be allowed to
       be re-elected twice. The Bellotprazidat will serve for four
       years, and only be able to serve one term.
       This has lead the nations previous military generals and
       Advisers to begins forming rudimentary political parties and
       coalitions, in hopes of gaining a majority in the Bellotcaunsat
       in the coming election, and the position of Bellotprazidat."

       The Kingdom of Erkettun condemns the dissolution of the monarchy
       as an act of cowardice on the part of the former King of
       Estovasia and an act of betrayal on the former council members
       who, rather than properly abiding by the laws of succession,
       decided to usurp the throne that is rightfully of whichever
       further heir may be found. Despite this, the Kingdom of Erkettun
       wishes to express its hope that, whatever the case may be, the
       changes that lie in the future for the Estovasian people may be
       towards their prosperity, despite our concerns regarding the
       stability of their nation after these events.
       Should the people of Estovasia have the will for it, we would
       still wish to offer a suitable member of our Dynasty of proper
       genetic stock, unsusceptible to the mental illnesses that
       plagued your former King, willing to convert to the nation's
       religion and customs. Should this not be enough, we are certain
       the Royalist Society shall be capable of producing a capable man
       of royal blood.
       Hail Saduk.
