Towards the waning days of the Archducal Period, there was rising political disillusionment within Nyasaland from the established authorities; des[ote their rising prominence, Marhsal BennyZ and two-time First Minister cat_alunya were denied any formal ability to influence policy, especially foreign policy. There was also a discontent that the title of the First Minister was in effect powerless; allegedly ruling over 'internal affairs', the island of Nyasaland and the city of Palgrave was considered Syurii Palgrave's personal estate, while the various colonies had their own governors, leaving them with little to do.
 
This discontent was raised to the monarchy, and together a new Constitution was developed, ushering in the Nyasan Commonwealth

Integrated into the Noble Circle were also former Marshal BennyZ, former First Minister cat_alunya, and prominent citizen and also former First Minister vriskalicious.

To take the place of the First Minister there would instead be a Popular Circle, a de-facto parliament which served as the country's legislature and judiciary. Popular Circle elections would take place on the 23rd of every other month, harkening back to the First Minister elections of old.
