Currency referendum held; full results revealed

Yesterday, Hasanistanis voted in a five-question referendum on the nature of a future currency. A long-debated issue in Hasanistan, the country has never had a formal currency while independent and has been a issue that has been pushed for by politicians like Shady Morsi for a while. The referendum had 9 out of 14 eligible voters turnout, meaning that a referendum had a turnout of 64.29%.

The questions of the referendum were on whether Hasanistan would adopt its own national or foreign currency, what the name of a hypothetical national currency would be, what its value would be tied to, whether it would be physical or virtual and if autonomous regions should have the right to their own national currency.

The final results shown a majority for Hasanistan having its own currency, known as the Hasani, which would be virtual and the sole legal tender in the country. However, opinions were split on how the currency would be valued (such as whether it would be pegged to another currency, a commodity or labour value).

President Hasan Çakar stated following the results: "The results set a clear guideline for how a national currency should be established and we will follow through with what the people of Hasanistan want as promised during the last election and legally required. We are working with the Government of Brennonia and the Micronational Blockchain Foundation on developing our national currency. This debate has finally been settled".
