Sarkyzian Interim Government Established
ZOKESIAN NEWS NETWORK - August 24th, 2214 -
The long process of nation building in Sarkyzia came to a summit today as the Federation of Sarkyzia and Rovolya turned over power to the Sarkyzian Interim Government, a Zokesian-backed council of eight members who will run the nation on its path to rebuilding.
The constitution of the Federation of Sarkyzia and Rovolya has been drafted by Zokesian and Sarkyzian leaders to reflect similar principles to the Confederacy, including right to self-determination, free trade between Sarkyzia and Rovolya, and stricter trade policies designed to protect and grow the shattered economy. Official elections will be held by 2220, to commence every 5 years and to allow a representative democracy to take place.
Michael Windslow, Zokesian MP from Cortuga, was at the official signing party to render the deal legal.
"What was done here today will sow the seeds for a representative democracy for all in Sarkyzia and Rovolya, creating a better, stronger nation and a unified direction forward."
Critics of the deal say while on paper the nation is self-led, many Zokesian troops remain stationed around the nation, and there is a worry a conflict of interest may be created between the new government and its Zokesian custodians. Only time will tell what will come of this historic moment.
