Scandal In Senate! Government of VikingLand Collapses.
Recently it was discovered that Prime Minister Canute Ezikiel was the grandson of Queen Gunnhild mother of King Cunobelin Azarik. Making him the nephew of the now dead and deposed King of VikingLand.
The Republican party is shocked to learn that their leader is of noble blood, and do not wish it to appear as though the nation has exchanged leadership from one royal to another.
Consequently they remove Prime Minister Canute from office and move to appoint a new temporary Prime Minister.
Their move is thwarted by the newly formed "Constitutionalist" party, who were created by the merging of the Reformists and Monarchists, the Constitutionalists are given a large amount of seat due to the merging and are able to successfully block the Republican party and force elections.
The Electoral Process
In the resulting elections across the newly unified Viking Empire, the constitutionalists sweep into power on a landslide victory.
The people supporting their wish to convert the complete Republican nation back into a monarchy.
The King would of course be ruler in name only, the constitutionalists opting for the creation of a Parliamentary Monarchy, or a "Constitutional" Monarchy as it comes to be called.
Prime Minister Henri Laarsson leader of the new Government declares that Canute Ezikiel is the last surviving member of the Royal family however distant he is, and it was only correct that he be placed on the throne in Oslo.
Canute Becomes King Of VikingLand
In a move which is sure to shock and surprise the world, former Prime Minster of VikingLand and staunch enemy of dictatorial monarchies, Canute was inaugurated in as King of VikingLand.
Canute was quoted as saying that it was safer with him, a supporter of the people and avid republican sit on the throne to ensure that the Republic could and would survive, instead of someone who could try to destroy the Republic from the seat of power.

To: Prime Minister Hans Gerbert of Germany
From: Prime Minister Henri Laarsson of VikingLand
Friend. Due to the recent and dissapointing messages sent to us by your King Frederick we have no choice but to recognise your government as the rightful and sole leaders of all Germany.
We also hope that you would agree to join the TransAtlantic Pact in the near future.
To: Frederick former King of Germany
From: Prime Minister Henri Laarsson of VikingLand
You should have listened to us, and followed our lead.
Now you will be deposed because of your dictatorial and tyrannical ways of rulership.
As the Japanese say, one must be as flexible as a reed swaying in the wind for a rigididity will be broken and be swept away, forgotten.
As you will be forgotten.
