WJZR dissolved, referendum on monarchy to be held

People enter the streets of Wiel as it becomes clear the WJZR has fallen and democracy and the king will return.

5 March 5668

Today at noon a historic document was signed in the former seat of government of the Jelbic People's Soviet Republic of Wrnuke. Secretary-General Bozujigumo met with the leaders of the opposition, senior party members, the Politburo, and representatives of the royal family to sign the official dissolution of the WJZR and declaration of the new constitutional monarchy. There were still be a referendum on the restoration of the monarchy, with it not yet being clear which claimant will stand as the candidate for the position of monarch. Rumours circulate pointing at the Archduke living in Narikaton and Darnussia. Polling numbers for the monarchy are high, fuelled by extensive marketing campaigns and a strong sense of nostalgia. Many regular Wrnukaékai remember their grandparents talking about the opulent times of the Kingdom and Empire, which will certainly help the case for the Banmek-Sntazed's.

The dissolution of the WJZR was supported by all Regional Chairs of the regions of Wrnuke and all mayors of the major cities of the nation. The ambition of the Secretary-General to reform and modernise the WJZR died a quiet death the last few months, as protests increased across the nation. With the opposition growing in power as liberalisation efforts were pushed through, the end was inevitable. Political experts have argued that the November Coup was the final nail in the coffin for the Worldburnerist state apparatus. The new constitution of Wrnuke will protect democratic efforts, marking a sharp turn from the previous more autocratic monarchy. The entire draft contains no mention of the famed royal veto, a tool used by the monarch during some political crises in the past. It seems that, as soon as the referendum passes, Wrnuke will for the first time in a long time have a full constitutional monarchy where the new King will only be a symbolic head of the nation. For now, people are yearning for stability as the gold and green banners line the streets once more.

The Grak Sháhazi (Black Lion) is a periodic news magazine that was once founded by leftist Wrnukaék journalists in exile, it attracts mostly centre-left readers with academic backgrounds.
