Victoria now a Republic

After elections and re-elections, Victoria has finally a legitimate senate consisting of 2 members of the communist party, and 1 member each of the liberal LVP, the nationalist RNP and the centrum-left democrats (CLGD). As had to be expected, the first action of the new senate was to amend the constitution in such a way that Victoria is no longer a principality but a republic. Former prins Willem has accepted the will of the people and stepped down, after a reign of 12 days (27th of August until teh 7th of September). The new head of stead will be a chancellor, elected by the people of Victoria. Until the end of the first chancellor elections on the 16th of september, Willem will stay head of state as interim-chancellor. He has indicated that he will not run for the position. The new official name of Victoria is the Democratic Republic of Victoria.
