OOC Source: Metro NewsNiederung: The Military Junta has, after a month of crackdowns, arrests and consolidation of martial law, announced a return to what they themselves describe as civilian governance. In a shocking turn of events, they announced the creation of a monarchy, creating the Kingdom of Suyu Llaqta if a reality. The proposed constitution, revealed by Junta leader Demiksa, reveals the creation of this kingdom which the military states will be a return to civilian rule. International observers have stated it is far from that however and have broken down the proposed constitution announced by the military. In this new constitution, the King would become Yadeta Daraara, to be known as Daraara I. Daraara himself was a army officer just months ago, leaving the country after the democratic government fired him. He has been described as a staunch militarist and authoritarian leader and, with Suyu Llaqta having no monarchist past, has been approached to create his own royal house and become King upon the adoption of the constitution. The king, in this constitution, will be the head of state and is described as the "soul, symbol and consciousness of the nation." The king will have the power to appoint a Prime Minister, with no conditions attached. Furthermore the King heads international visits, is the head of the armed forces, can disband parliament without conditions, has to sign bills into law (and may thus veto bills with no possibility of overruling). The King will thus have the power to oversee and partialy dictate government. Under the proposed constitution however observers see a pattern. Besides the king being from the military himself, the new constitution also features a provision which allows the military to form their own political party, makes it so the Supreme General Staff of the Armed Forces may appoint the Supreme Court and gives the right for the military to intervene in politics. The electoral rules for the new parliament are also highly dubious, once appointed by the King the Prime Minister may redraw constituencies without justification, furthermore campaigning time for parties is cut short to only 2 days of campaigning each election cycle, meaning that the military can circumvent this rule due to their pool of resources. The unicameral parliament, to be called the Legislative Council (Gesetzgebender Rat), will also be elected using the FPTP system, making it easier for a well resourced party to win.
All these restrictions and changes combined make international observers agree that this new constitution will likely mean a continuation of Junta rule, under the guise of civilian governance. General Irbuu Demiksa, leader of the current Junta, has already announced the creation of the Nationale Partei (NP) of which he is to become the leader and which will be financed by the military, confirming suspicions that the military will conspire to win the first elections and have Demiksa appointed Prime Minister. Under this constitution, the Prime Minister heads the government on a day to day basis and controls its security agencies, the military together with the monarch, directs and dtermines domestic and foreign policy and leads the government and all its ministries (with work delegated to ministers). As mentioned earlier, he or she may also redraw constituencies and create new or disband current ministries upon taking office. Meaning that the monarch and Prime Minister together control nearly all aspects of government.
The Junta is expected to ratify the new constitution in 3 months time, automatically putting Daraara on the throne and holding the first Legislative Council elections. The nation will work under a unitary system, with new to be created "region" to be granted only limited authority, largely meant to oversee the implementation of national law.
