Victory for Septembrists: Provisional Government establishedThomas Michels, Provisional Governor-General since todayMiyako/Rothingren, Hilgar - The 15th of September Movement has been the big winner of the elections, but as per previously agreed policy, they refused to take their seats. Instead, emboldened by the news, people have stormed the Crownland Diet buildings in Hilgar, Mitrania, Budenlar, Ostland and Kuratha, taking control of the governing apparatus as the security services stood idly by. In Miyako, the Septembrists proclaimed the restoration of the Crownlands of Hulstria and Gao-Soto, establishing a Provisional Government under National Council Chairman Thomas Michels and a Provisional National Diet.
In a dramatic turn of events, both Hulstrian and Gao-Showan citizens of Miyako, with Crown Prince Okatori Kurosawa at their head, moved across the city from their victory celebrations with the Septembrist candidates, shouting "we are the people!" and "we are one people!" as the police and the army refused to fire upon them. On the way, they stormed the Imperial Palace, where they sadly found that Okatori Takahiro, the former Mikado, had died in captivity. Not deterred by the sad news, they kept moving towards the Crownland Diet buildings, and upon reaching there, stormed the building while singing "Golden Empire" and, more significantly, "Land of our Forefathers".
Fifteen minutes later, the Union Flag of the Dual Monarchy was flying over the Diet buildings, and Emperor Kurosawa and national chairman, Thomas Michels, appeared on the balcony where they proclaimed the restoration of the democracy and monarchy, swore they would set the Rothingren-Traugotts free and swore in the victorious Septembrist candidates one by one into the Provisional Diet, swearing Dr Michels in as Provisional Governor-General. In addition, His Imperial Majesty declared all freedom taken from the people restored and called upon them to seize Crownland Hulstria, which remains under the control of the regime.
In his address to the crowd, Thomas Michels said: "Today we proclaim a great sadness and a great joy. With sadness we commemorate the death of His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Takahiro, and the continuing captivity of the Rothingren-Traugotts. With joy we - Emperor Kurosawa and I - together with you, today proclaim that our democracy, our freedoms and our constitution have been restored. But the battle is not over yet: we shall have to keep supporting our fellow citizens in Crownland Hulstria, so that ultimately, we may make this provisional government we've reached the start of something new for our country."
