Spiteful Thaller Twins die in accidental Duel tie

May 5706 (backdated)



The Dual Republic of Narikaton and Darnussia is a nation of intense market and social liberalism, while the latter has been a continuous fight against hosian-conservative remnants within the right-wing parties of the nation (the VVP and the NU or other predecessor third parties further right than the VVP) one of the rights the citizens of the Dual Republic can still enjoy without much government regulation is the right to a consensual dual. According to the respective law, the so-called “Traditional Liberties of the Republican Citizen” states that “an adult person may challenge another adult person to a duel, if the other accepts the challenge, the duel may happen without criminal consequence.” Narik-Darnussian jurisprudence has developed this principle into being exclusively applicable in criminal-law, as such civil cases regarding duels still occasionally reach the Dual Republican Courts.

The newest case of dualism in the Dual Republic has caused public uproar as political consequences of this event are certain to shock the political landscape of the nation. Werner and Warner von Thaller, the notoriously spiteful twins, also both being leaders of their respective Thallerist parties, have decided to finally settle their age-old rivalry by fighting a duel with revolvers, to the death. On inquiry the Thaller family press office declined to respond to the events, the Thaller Industries Media Team only stated that “the corporation is not currently connected to either of the Thaller twins, instead their nephew Kemal von Thaller is currently the CEO of the company and represents the familiy’s trust-funds share in the shareholder meetings.” In any case, what some call a ridiculous case of real-life satire, both Werner and Warner died from their injuries caused by the Duel. According to insiders of the family, they both initially missed their vital organs but instead started bickering about each other instead of seeking medical attention. In any case, they’re both dead, and many centrists have cheered while Thallerists around the world have stated that it is a sad day for the dynasty.

Politically, the repercussions were felt instantly, both Thallerist parties, one of which is in government, have immediately decided to not stand for election in April of 5708, as they’re both dependent on the personalities of the diseased twins, some speculate about a potential merger of the two parties, but political analysts explain that most of the MP’s have already stated their intention of joining – the sometimes as crypo-thallerist described- VVP, so we can expect an additional strengthening of the VVP in addition to President Bergers high popularity.
