The Romordian Provisional Council has been replaced with a more permanent system of governance for the country. The new government has some devolved powers. However, these powers can be taken away and decisions made by this government can be overruled by the Nicholas and Great British government. The Assembly of West Romordia has been created. The assembly will consist of elected representatives who each represent a region in West Romordia. Anyone running to become a member of the assembly must be in the Socialist Nationalist Party (The ruling party of Nicholas and Great Britain). The assembly will then elect one of the members to be the First Minister of West Romordia who will create a cabinet of ministers to help run West Romordia.

Efladian Foreign minister has confirmed that Mitalldukian and Krauanagaz representatives are coming to Eflad for diplomatic talks soon. The minister has expressed that Eflad is now rightfully taking its place as a neutral moderator on the world stage and is hoping to bring both sides to an acceptable deal.
A think-tank has published an online catalogue of polls in Eflad since March 2023. It shows the means from different polling agencies and weighs them with a bias-index. The polling data can be seen here. The polls are done on every 1st and 15th of a month and called “bi-weekly” polls. The government has very low approval ratings, mainly due to “inner politics regarding costs of life” as many people noted.

Early results in the Tepertopian Assembly election from smaller constituencies indicate a close race between the Moderates and the Welfare Party, both hovering slightly above 20% of first- preference votes. They are followed by the Merchants’ Guild at 14%, Canon at 12% and The Future is Ours! at 9%. Other parties and independents currently stand at a combined 25%, meaning that the splintering of the first-preference vote observed over the last elections appears to continue, this year additionally spurred on by the record number of candidates on the ballot.
Full preliminary results from all constituencies are expected by tomorrow.
