New Mejlis passes first act; new system of government law enacts changes in government and new official name

The newly elected Consultative Mejlis has passed its first law, the "2nd System of Government Act 2020", which overrides the previous system of government act which was enacted earlier this year following the deposition of the Monarchy. The new act makes changes regarding the judicial system, provincial system, upper house and the millet system (now abolished), which were regarded as relics of the previous monarchist period, as well as changing the name of the state from the "Sublime State of Hasanistan" to the "Sublime and Peaceful Turanian Republic of Hasanistan".

The new judicial system establishes a system of examinations whereby local judges are appointed through examinations, a system based of the historic Chinese system of Imperial Examinations. The examinations themselves have not been established yet. Previously, regional judges were from the landed nobility appointed by the monarchy but following the end of the monarchy this system effectively dissolved.

In terms of the provincial system, the changes were relatively minor. Firstly, the title of mahalles (the lowest-level of locality) has been changed to karye to more accurately represent geographic reality. Also, Hasanistan also implemented a system of ceremonial local leaders which is mildly similar to a system of nobility or a national award where individuals who are considered to have conducted "exemplary actions in service of the Nation" will be granted these titles. The rank of ceremonial local heads are Atabeg (or Atabegum) for Eyalets, Beg (or Begum) for Sanjaks and Agha (or Hanımagha) and Karyes, with someone possessing such a title being addressed with honorifc Çelebi or Hanımçelebi. It should be noted ceremonial leaders possess no legal powers.

Additionally, the millet system which gave special autonomy to certain religious groups of the Abrahamic faiths has been abolished and removed from law. The millet system gave legality to religious law and allowed legal matters to be solved in respective religious courts rather than a secular Hasani court. As the millet system is no more, millets are no longer represented in the Knowledgable Peoples' Assembly upper house but the new law has. In addition, representatives of recognised minority languages have been added while the position representative of nobility in the body has been abolished (representatives of workers and peasantry have been maintained).

Finally, with the system of honorific ceremonial heads, newly-elected President Hasan Çakar has granted the first set of such titles. These are as follows:

• Hasan Çakar himself has been made Atabeg of Southern Hasanistan Eyalet.
• Chase Mahoning has been made Agha of Kınık.
• Shady Morsi has been made Atabeg of Northern Hasanistan Eyalet.
• Natsuki Hegro has been made Atabeg of Arapadalar Eyalet and Beg of Körfeziye Sanjak (additionally granted ceremonial titles of "Slayer of Nicholas J. Fuentes", "Shōgun of the Ryukyu and Northern Mariana Island", "Albanian of the Albanians [Arnavut-i-Arnavutlar]", "Holy Emanation and Viceroy-on-Earth of the Great Leader of the Khmer Revolution General-Secretary Pol Pot", "Grand Mufti of Delaware", "Chief Eunuch [Hadımbaşı] of the Personal Harem of Hasan Çakar", and "Conqueror of the Adammic Empire").
• Lüd İsveçoğlu has been made Agha of Jerit.
• Emiel Hardy has been made Agha of Outer Sırıtjine (despite being a non-citizen, he has been given special legal exception to posses such a title).
