Line 103:
By October 2018, His Majesty, Grand Prince GetSkinny, had been out of the public eye for over two months. The duties that would normally be undertaken by the Grand Prince were being added to the daily tasks of The Lord High Chancellor and his councillors. This extra burdening workload began to cause the stagnation of Gabon which was felt throughout the country, with the council behind on their normal duties, food production and welfare handouts fell to an all-time low. Although republicanism was not unheard of prior to this point, it grew to unprecedented levels among the citizenry and members of the provincial assembly around this time. October would also see the peaceful '''Green Flag Protests''' which saw citizens take to the streets wearing green banners to express their discontent with the monarchy and the government of Gabon. Green banners were used as a meaning for a fresh start, with some radicals suggesting this did not end at reforms for a constitutional monarchy but should result in the ending of the monarchy altogether.
Around the same time in Varkonia, members of the Varkonian Senate were charged with numerous criminal offences in the courts of [[Mount Augusta]] leaving Gabon awash in shame, striking at the heart of the connection between the sister nations. The Lord High Chancellor BritishWanderer and
In early November, Grand Prince GetSkinny, returned to a nation seemingly divided. Disagreements had broke out within the Assembly of the Provincial Government of Gabon on how to respond to the dissatisfaction with the actions of Varkonia, alongside heated debates of government reform. The Prince's return was coldly received by her citizenry, including her own government who had seen the rising costs of funding the monarch's private lavish lifestyle without any visible benefit to the nation.
Line 296:
The Vice Chancellor has the ability to appoint ministers to the Cabinet to undertake duties relevant to their portfolio .
Legislative authority is vested in the unicameral Lord's Council, made up of typically 3 members elected whenever 5 or more citizens petition to hold an ordinary election as per article 3 of the constitution.
The Lord's Council elects from citizenry an Electoral Commissioner. The Electoral Commissioner is charged with performing functions of Council supervision and must undertake the duties required to hold referendums and general elections.

Line 770 ⟶ 768:
Whilst the XP infrastructure constructed was initially government-owned, the council would later privatise the industry, selling a majority of the assets to the newly founded [[Gabon Corporation]] for an undisclosed amount. The Gabon Corporation has played an important role in the economical development of Gabon from late 2020 into 2021, with the corporation being the largest employer in Gabon and funding multiple leisure projects throughout the capital.
In February 2021, it was decided by the Lord High Chancellor in correspondence with the Vice Chancellor that elections would be suspended for the foreseeable future.
'''September 2021 Council & Chancellor Elections'''
September bought with it the unanimous adoption of the third constitution of Gabon, 'Constitution of the Free Republic of Gabon' which amended the postions Chancellor and Vice Chancellor to be elected, granted new powers to the Lord's Council and set about concrete term limits within the nation state. With this new constitution, elections were declared for the first time in 10 months. This election period saw the creation of two new political parties, the NMP (New Monarchist Party) and LOG (Left Labour of Gabon), both parties were distinct in their political ideology and set apart from the ruling party of the GNP, which would help them both in securing seats away from incumbents.

The NMP and LOG party swept the Council election results, with huge public support for their proposals and promises. The GNP ran no candidates in the council election in order to focus entirely on the Chancellor elections. The turnout was considerably low in comparison to previous elections held, thought in party to the mass change in demographics between this election and the previous one. For the first time in Gabonese history, the GNP became a minority political party.

The GNP faced a harder fought election than was to be expected for two well-liked incumbents, the populace was both eager for change and a chance to commit a protest vote against the GNP, who had held power for nearly 3 years without public accountability.
