Yesterday, Princess Krissal Idhnarnakots officially claimed ownership of the throne of Eikangaard amid increasing protests by Isolationist groups within the country. Upon assuming power, Krissal declined to assume a royal name which, while rare, is not unheard of within Eikangaardi royalty. During her her Royal Speech, Krissal stated that she intended to "bring Eikangaard into the world by the merits of its people" and that she would "work with the people of Eikangaard moving forward."
Today, Krissal took the first steps to realizing these promises as she called on Parliament to temporarily retract the current Trade Laws pertaining to International Corporations until a new agreement could be negotiated with Eikangaardi businesses. This announcement was met with split sentiments, with many calling the move a "return to Eikangaard's isolationism" and the "weakening will of the Monarchy."
Other announcements included the allocation of financial resources to open government sanctioned political forums to provide the people of Eikangaard an official avenue to voice their political beliefs to the Government. This would allow the Government to more accurately gauge people's reactions to new resolutions made by Parliament and the Monarchy without relying on the comparatively inflexible National Census. Officially the government plans to open these forums in the coming weeks.
