Okhoa Braces for Pivotal Referendum Amid Uncertainty and Unease
Ka’atria, Okhoa Protectorate— With just over two weeks until the Okhoa Protectorate casts its vote on a defining referendum, the coastal Keylic territory finds itself suspended between hope and apprehension. The referendum, scheduled for May 26, will allow Okhoans to choose from six distinct governance pathways, ranging from full integration into the Holy Dominion of Zuhlgan to a roadmap for eventual independence.
While Dominion officials have hailed the referendum as a testament to democratic plurality, independent observers and civil society organizations warn that the process is unfolding under a cloud of coercion, limited transparency, and structural imbalance.
