Chancellor Müller and Crown Prince Wilhelm III were seen in parts of eastern Waldland, namely in areas around Mitterdenz, Ermhau, Neuwitz, and Lichtfurt an der Wald, visiting the local Waldravan minorities.
Waldravans are an Indavral people group, mostly concentrated west of Past, in a region known as the Waldland. The Waldravans were once part of the Triangular Empire proper before splitting off to create their own kingdom. They were later annexed during the Gianlucian expansion into Weisserstein and their lands merged with that of the Electoral Grand Duchy of Wiebnen-Lichtenburg, Duchy of Hannover, and the Principality of Wuppertal.
During the Weissersteiner War of Unification, the Waldravans sided with the Weissersteiners in fighting against the Elbonians and Triangulars, with many Waldravans serving in high position during the period. Waldravans were given equal citizenship status to both Almans and Arabs, and the Waldravan dialect of Indavral was made a recognized regional language in 1895.

Frederick Razago and Henry Traesore, founders of the not-for-profit advocacy group Parliament for Evinea, have released a document called “The Case for Parliament”. The document reads as goes:
Hello fellow Evineans.
We, Frederick and Henry, and the rest of the associates of the Parliament of Evinea write this document in accordance with the views, beliefs, and voices of individuals across this wonderful nation, unifying them and exemplifying them to the current politicians across the nation. This is especially important to the current members of the Assembly and the Presidency.
As has been seen before, during, and after the Evinean presidential election, it is quite clear that there has been a growing urge to change the aging presidential system. Since independence from the Australs, Evinea has been a presidential republic, one of which was a great change for the nation. However, as time goes on, it is necessary to change a system which no longer fits the needs of our people.
Therefore, the Parliament of Evinea asks for a national referendum on the issue of “Should our nation transition from a presidential republic to a parliamentary republic?” for these reasons:
- From current polling and surveying, around 66%, but growing to around 70% of Evineans believe the country should transition to a parliamentary republic, recognizing that most Evineans are ready for a change in the nation. However, the people who do disagree with the parliamentary system will not be excluded and will be listened to as much as possible to be inclusive.
- Too much power is consolidated in the executive, often being free to do as they please with very few checks and balances. With the president being both the head of state and government, there is not much the Assembly, let alone the Supreme Court, could do to stop unfavorable, harmful, or constitutional laws from being passed. An elected president and a stronger Supreme Court would better limit the executive power, but not too far to a mute level where the government is largely inconsistent and inefficient.
- More political cooperation and representation is encouraged in a parliamentary system. Many Evinean’s voices have been overshadowed by an all too powerful executive and not seen in a mediocre legislative body. Increasing the strength of the legislature, allowing for more political parties to be represented and instilling a virtue of more cooperation to create legislation that more closely encompasses the views of Evineans.
- Harmful manipulation and illegal consolidation of power is less likely to happen under a newly created parliamentary system as the legislature and the president have a stronger format to keep the prime minister, or the parliamentary leader, in check. We desperately do not want to see our nation fall into the hands of authoritarianism again, as was seen with the dictatorship of Jerry Eyadama who managed to abuse the executive powers of our highest office. This new system would largely reduce corruption and other criminal activity as more checks and balances are in place to prevent such actions.
- The presidential system has largely grown stagnant and no longer accommodative of the Evinean voter in recent times. This is already noted by the above four points, but again largely regarding the fact that most Evineans desire a change in how they are seen and represented on the national level. We have often gone through lacklustre and weak presidencies, and it is about time action and excitement was brought back to the highest office and our people
If these five points can be regarded and be brought up as a national issue where we can make this nation for the better. This nation needs a more represented Evinea, and a successful referendum would do just that. We hope President Aziz Traore and his office will regard this message and respond accordingly.
~ Frederick Razago and Henry Traesore
