Wrnuke to be a Worldburnerist state
10 December 5594, Wiel, Jelbic People's Soviet Republic of Wrnuke


Leader of the Republic Altán Hukrskez'lkjo signing the draft of the amendment before it was proposed to the People's Council.

Some have called him the 'father of Wrnukaék socialism' and the 'founder of the Soviet Republic'. Altán Hukrskez'lkjo, the current elected Leader of the Soviet Republic, is both the head of state and an influential thinker on socialism in Wrnuke. Many years ago a young Hukrskez'lkjo moved to Zardugal to avoid persecution from the monarchist regime, the safest place for a young socialist from Wrnuke to be. He did not become a devout socialist like his Augustan hosts, but instead became very interested in the written work of the Worldburner. The Worldburner was a pan-Jelbic philosopher and writer from Jelbe who lived during and after the World War when Jelbe was humiliated by Wrnuke during a counter-offensive that showed the technological gap between the two states, as Wrnuke had always been the more 'settled' of the two biggest Jelbic brothers. Most of his writings have been lost, only a few published ones still remain, the majority of his teachings having been passed, ironically, in the oral tradition. While the Worldburner himself would have hated it, his ideas remained alive through this Jelbic custom. Written oral stories and the last existing copies found their way to Altán Hukrskez'lkjo who, together with other exiled socialists, founded the Beshbrjrzi Onsmifrndé Zemosrne or Underground Socialist Workers Council. The BOZ for years did everything it could to 'sabotage' the Kingdom of Wrnuke. It had little success in the public eye as the RSB under the crown repressed republican and socialist movements, yet it managed to infiltrate most levels of the Kingdom. Young progressives heeded the words of the BOZ 'infiltrators' and when the Bloodless Revolution happened many of the left-wing elements of the BOZ were able to enter the committees on reforming the Kingdom into a Republic. Altán Hukrskez'lkjo became the first among equals, as the Chairman of the Committee for the Reformation of the State.

Since its first open election Altán Hukrskez'lkjo has filled the role of the ceremonial head of state, as Zemosrné Rekvaknsék Wrntuhiko, or Leader of the Soviet Republic, he has been a symbol of stability and unity for the nation. Whenever a process of reform gets stuck the Wrntuhiko travels to it and helps resolve any issues. He speaks to people of every class, brings discussions to the floor of parliament, and in a way has become a 'people's monarch'. In the meantime his idea for a progressive left-leaning republic has taken root far stronger than he ever expected. The three parties currently registered in Wrnuke are all of the Worldburnerist ideology, the same ideology Hukrskez'lkjo so adores. On the initiative of the party he is associated with, the Heirs of the Worldburner or Seikfrojkaiék Mazrk, a new constitutional amendment has been drafted to essentially demand that every party aligns with some of the ideals of Worldburnerism. The constitutional amendment is controversial as it would block many ideologies, though some argue that Worldburnerism is so broad and necessary for Wrnuke that a healthy democracy can be achieved with only Worldburnerist parties. Leader Hukrskez'lkjo has now come forward to agree with this sentiment, as he has signed the draft of the amendment. It is currently being voted on in the People's Council, but with the Heirs of the Worldburner having 98% of the seats it is expected to pass without much issue. Hukrskez'lkjo defended his endorsement to the press: "I firmly believe that the more I read, think, ponder, and experience Worldburnerism the more I have come to believe that this is the only way forward for Wrnuke. Right now we have the Heirs, a pan-Jelbic and revolutionary socialist modernisation movement, the Green Scourge who are more in the line of modernisation through ecological measures and nuclear energy and the hyper-progressive eco-feminists of Humanity. The variety there alone should prove to you that through Worldburnerism there can be a true people's democracy."
