ARCADIE, GEISENFRIED--
Recently after several public outcries demanding more political freedoms within Geisenfried, His Royal Majesty, King Alexander I has announced that the political system within Geisenfried will be reorganized, in a move to bring democratic reforms to the people. So far, general public outlook has been positive concerning the move.

The most noticable reform is the creation of provinces and the spread of power into local governments. Beforehand, Geisenfried, had a great majority of its power stored within the central government. Another significant reform will be the introduction of a new Parliament. This Parliament is in two branches, dubbed the Senate and Congress. Each of the new provinces will have three senators, and a number of Congressional Representatives, depending on the population of each province, much based on other democratic governments. However, most political analysts agree that power will mostly remain in the hands of the King, and the Supreme Court.

With a Parliament now being created, political parties are now making solid foundations. The current frontrunner is the Liberal Party, but the Conservative and Social Democratic Parties also look to gain large portions of seats.

Lastly, in accordance to the new political system, King Alexander I has changed the nation's name from the "Kingdom of Geisenfried" to the "Royal Federation of Geisenfried."
