Within Gabon, the monarchy continued to use a variety of styles, titles and symbols specific to the pre-union Principality of Gabon which would remain in use up until the civil war in November 2018, the result of which would change Gabon's Government to a Republic whilst remaining inside of the Union. The legal system within Gabon remained separate from those of Varkonia and other provinces. The continued existence of legal, educational, religious and other institutions distinct from those in the remainder of the Varkonian Union contributed to the continuation of Gabonese culture and national identity and would eventually play a crucial role in the independence referendum of October 2020. |

This was the first council session following the Gabonese civil war in November 2018, and was responsible for a large swath of reforms which would help shape the future of Gabon.

The first session would be instrumental in the creation of the Sovereign Fund, funded by the government's acquisition and nationalisation of all natural minerals within Gabon. |
