ELUSIA (Reuters) - In a landmark referendum to define the future of the small continental nation Praetroia Novus, the people have voted overwhelmingly to approve reforms designed to 'bring Praetoria Novus into the 21st Century'.
The Sunday referendum marks an end to a system of government many hundreds of years old, and ushers in a new age. Over 87 percent, or 4.35 million, of Praetoria Novusian citizens supported the extensive changes to the executive, legislative and judicial structure of the nation, which will fundamentally alter the separation of powers and checks and balances that operate on the nation’s government.
REFORMS TO THE EXECUTIVE
By far the largest change to the political system of Praetoria Novus will be the changes to its executive branch of government. Previously, a Dictator or Imperator was the individual who could perhaps best be described as wielding executive power. Nominally, (and for the last 300 years practically) it has been the Senate and more importantly the senior members (the Consuls and Censors) of the Senate who have held the real power in the small Republic.
This will all change on the 1st of November when the new Constitution of Praetoria Novus will take affect, creating a far more conventional Government based partially on the Westminster system of responsible government and the Washington system of Constitutionalism. Titles and ranks (for example, those of Quaestor and Praetor) in the Senate will be abolished and a cabinet and ministries established.
PRAISE FOR THE MOVE
The reforms have been widely welcomed throughout Praetoria Novusian society. Prominent jurist and political commentator, Helvidus Domitius called it 'a move to make Praetoria Novus relevant in this modern world'.
The Institute for Political Review has likewise applauded the move, declaring that 'Praetoria Novusian citizens have finally rejected the overly complicated and obsolete system of our past, embracing a conventional democratic model for our system of government which will help to rejuvenate the public's faith in the political process'.
