Topic is kind of dead. Time to pull out something I've been planning for a while.
Foreigner's note: the Hyontese government is composed of 48 delegates, one from each autonomous province. Most decisions are made at the provincial level, barring those related to foreign policy, the nationwide economy and the military. Delegates can be dismissed at whim by the local provinces, which set their own rules for government, and whoever can command a majority of delegates is designated the Chancellor of Hyontou, acting as both head of state and head of government.
Breaking News From Hyontou
Despite 4 years as Chancellor, Sora Hatsu recently lost his majority in the Confederate Assembly. His left-leaning Prosperity Party has commanded 28 of the 48 seats for several years, but recent dismissals of delegates by the swing provinces have allowed Riku Kingudamu's Nationalist Party, with 27 seats, to take power.
The shift is attributed to waning support for liberal initiatives and the concern that the "human rights" platform is increasingly straining Hyontou's economic power.
At his inauguration, Kingudamu brought with him a copy of Hyontou's constitution, ever enduring over several decades. Reading some of its select passages, he paraphrased and made the following statements:
"Hyontou's noblest confederacy was not established so that the whims of the few could rule the many, or that the numbers of the simplest of majorities could rule the few. Hyontou was formed due to the realities of a dangerous world... our sovereign components could not hope to stand alone and survive against aggressive nations like Marius' Tibet, or Negan's Aden.
So the founders of our great nation surrendered some of their sovereign functions, such as the defense forces, foreign policy, minting of currency, and control over weights and measures, to a central body. Our confederacy has endured not because of a single, unitary government controlling our policies towards some agenda, but because of a collective central government that passes measures good for the benefit of all the constituent provinces, as it should be in our great nation.
Our trade fleet remains the world's largest, despite some of the downfalls of my friend Delegate Hatsu's administration. Of these downfalls, the most serious is the loss of sixteen percent of our annual trade revenues due to restrictive, strangling international treaties that have been imposed upon us. Trade accounts for nearly two-thirds of our income; it allows us to survive in a world with increasingly limited resources. That sixteen percent cut equates to over a hundred billion Yon. With that money, we could be building better roads and infrastructure, increasing the efficiency of our merchant marine, sending more of our children to school. The jobs from all that trade would increase prosperity for all of us, the supposed goal of the outgoing party.
Clearly, we need a review of policies. We must retake control of our national policy, and not let foreign bureaucrats run it for us, to the detriment of our citizens. In my first few weeks in office, I promise you, delegates and citizens of Hyontou, Hyontou's economy shall roar like the most fierce of tigers, while Hyontou remains as calm and peaceful as the seas which our ships sail every day.
May fate help our nation in its pursuit of Nirvana."
The Kingudamu administration, feeling it to no longer be in its interests, has helped Hyontou leave the HITSGDP. Hyontou throws open its ports and declares neutrality.
Kingudamu announces that the defensive pact with the Papacy shall of course remain in force should Russia become belligerent.
