Last night forces loyal to Leo III have staged a coup against President Kaitlyn Gauvin, disgruntled troops of the 54th Division launched a Coup d'état against the Republic at midnight local time, arresting officials such as Senators, Justices, Cabinet Ministers and notable figures such as President Gauvin and Attorney General Valeri. General Sebastián Bienvenida has declared the Republic of the United Provinces dissolved and the reinstatement of the Kingdom of the Royally United Provinces.
In addition to this he has declared himself intern-Chancellor of the Royally United Provinces (Canciller de las Provincias Unidas por Realez), along with declaring President Gauvin and the entire Ministry of Justice under Attorney General Valeri guilty of high treason for depriving the sovereign of the crown, levying war against the sovereign, hindering the succession to the throne, and lastly the death and regicide of King Leo III. Chancellor Sebastián Bienvenida has stated that all those who took part in the eventual death of Leo III will be arrested for High treason and executed.
With the reinstatement of the Kingdom of the Royally United Provinces, begins the reign of Queen Aleksandra (formerly Crown Princess Kira), Aleksandra has chosen this as her regnal name in homage to her maternal Great-Grandmother High Queen Alexandra the Great and her paternal Great-Grandfather King Aleksandr.
However in light of Bienvenida's overthrow of the Republic the Provinces of East and South Saxony have in a plebiscite succeeded from the United Provinces and are requesting annexation from the Dominion of Westphalia.
