The Zverskograd Referendum
« on: 12 May, 2017, 04:22:49 am »
Citizens of the territory currently controlled by the Provisional Government of Zverskograd have come out the in the millions to cast their votes in the Referendum demanded by the Treaty of Zverskograd. Nearly 40% of the population has voted so far with large lines still remaining at many of the voting stations across the country. The referendum and its results are being monitored by officials from the Socialist Republic of Ryudinia to ensure that there is no voter fraud or any other attempts to influence votes at the booths. On the ballot, voters are given the choice between three options:

(I) Restore the Voronin Dynasty to Absolute Power, with Sofiya Voronina as the reigning monarch of Zverskograd.


(II) Establish a Parliamentary Monarchy, in which the people shall elect representatives to serve in a legislative body. The elected leader of the legislative body shall have full executive authority. The Voronin Dynasty shall remain in a ceremonial position, and shall act as the De jure head of state.


(III) Establish a Republic, in which the Voronin Dynasty shall retain no legal power, shall renounce their titles, and shall be granted no powers or rights above that of the ordinary citizen. Should this option succeed, a pension of one thousand credits per year shall be set aside for the Voronin Dynasty until the death of Princess Sofiya Voronina.


Early results seem to indicate that Option II holds a small lead, with Option I close behind and Option III in dead last. However, this is only reporting from about 40% of the voters and there are still significant numbers of votes left to be cast and counted, so these results could change at any time.

The day is over and all polling stations have closed. In the end over 80% of eligible voters cast their votes and in a surprise victory, Option I has come from behind to win with 62% of voters choosing to reinstate the Voronin Dynasty and place Princess Sofiya on the throne. Option II ended up receiving 31% of the vote, while Option III was chosen by only 6% of the people. The strong Semuyist beliefs held by many of the voters seems to have been a primary factor in the victory of Option I, as the Voronin family is still viewed by many on the Ryudinian continent as being descended from divinity and it seems that they believe more in their faith than the system of democracy. The Socialist Republic of Ryudinia seems to be respecting the results of the referendum and Sofiya has stated that she shall be making an official announcement after her enthronement and the state funeral of her family.

The will of the people is clear. We can confirm that there was no foul play in this election.

We are thrilled to see the Voronin Dynasty reinstated to its former divine authority, as without the late Serafim, The Holy Celestial Empire would not be a bastion for Conviction and Holiness that it is.
