Two new Provisional Council members appointed, Northern League created

Today, Chairman of the Provisional Council Hasan Çakar has announced that two more members have been appointed by him to become members of the Provisional Council, both of whom have some previous political experience within Hasanistan.
The first new member is Shady Morsi, one of the biggest figures in Hasanistani history. The former leader of Independence Party, former governor of North Hasanistan/Ardajan and former Premier under Hasan Çakar's 2016 term was one of the biggest critics of Tanju Çakar's three year presidency and a stanch anti-communist. He also served as a minister in Pavlov. The other member is former Pavlovian Sovereign Prince and alleged mastermind of the 2014 coup d'etat attempt Iskender.
While Iskender will serve as an independent candidate, Shady Morsi will establish the spiritual successor of his Independence Party known as the "Northern League". Mr Morsi says his party supports local autonomy, regionalism, federalism and anti-communism.

Hasanistan establishes first diplomatic treaty since independence with Ashukovo

This morning, Chairman of the Provisional Council Hasan Çakar and Ashukov Minister of Foreign Affairs Manu Tsompangolou ratified a treaty which established an official diplomatic relationship between Hasanistan and the re-established Ashukov Federation. Ashukovo is the first nation to recognize Hasanistan's independence since the dissolution of the Principality of Pavlov.
Negotiations for the signing the treaty began on the day that Pavlov dissolved and Hasanistan unilaterally seceded. Ashukovo and its province hold a historic relationship with Hasanistan that dates back to the single-party period. Hasanistan most famously had an up-down relationship with the Ashukov province of Mouzilo during its independence prior to joining Ashukovo. The two were strong allies during some occasions and fierce rivals at others. The two nations were even in a federation together during 2013, although it did not last long.
Ashukovo is not the only nation that Hasanistan has discussed establishing a formal diplomatic relationship with as Mahuset and Karno-Ruthenia have also shown interest in becoming friends of the Hasani nation.
In other news, Asghar Reza has been appointed as the first member of the Provisional Council by the Chairman. Reza has also established Hasanistan's first party since independence from Pavlov, the Bogdanoff Orbital Government.

BREAKING: Pavlov dissolved

In a shock announcement made this morning by His Serene Highness Sovereign Prince Iskender IV to the members of the Crown Council, His Serene Highness has declared that the Principality of Pavlov will be dissolved and that all its provinces shall be able to decide their own future. The reaction from Crown Council members was absolute shock and sadness and Minister of State Hasan Çakar had to hold a private conversation with His Serene Highness following the announcement. The move to dissolve Pavlov comes two weeks after a "transitional period" was declared and a new constitution was adopted, however the dissolution has nothing to do with any other the changes or inactivity.
Now that Pavlov will be dissolved, questions have been raised over the future of its territories and especially Hasanistan and Nazir. The local government of Hasanistan has said that it will continue to exist as a independent state and that it will work with and help any other province which wishes to continue as an independent state. The local Hasani government has also said that His Serene Highness will be granted citizenship and will serve in a major position. His Serene Highness will also work with the Lostislandic government, a nation that had good relations with the former Pavlovian government.
Work will begin today to establish a new government structure for Hasanistan and hopefully will be complete by the end of the weak. Hasan Çakar, Pavlovian Minister of State and the President of Hasanistan prior to integration within Pavlov, will become the temporary head of state and has said Hasanistan will not use a previous constitution although a new constitution may use elements of it. Finally, Hasanistan may integrate territories of the former Pavlov if allowed to continue some of Pavlov's legacy.

Statement from new Pavlovian head of government Hasan Çakar regarding new constitution!

For the last three days, the most important figures in the Pavlovian government (including myself and, His Imperial Majesty, MTAGBHR) have been discussing major changes within the nation. As some of you may know, on April 28th (in the Gregorian calendar) we declared the beginning of a “transitional period”. The reason why we declared a transitional period is that Pavlov is to adopt a new Constitution and the transitional period shall be the process in which we begin to follow the government structure. This new Constitution has been created to rejuvenate Pavlov and prevent it collapsing into inactivity.

I know many people may be worried that this Constitution will have a similar fate to our previous three, failing to deliver on its goals and making the situation worse, but this will not be the case this time. Confidence is high this time and the right precautions have taken place to ensure it works. This is why we enacted a new citizenship law yesterday. One of the biggest failures of our previous attempts was lack of commitment and lack of citizen participation and some of our citizens prioritizing commitment. We have also realized why this lack of commitment have happened so we have implemented changes in the Constitution to accommodate for more activity and citizen participation.

Now regarding the changes established in the Consitution, I will give a rundown on the major changes but you can read the full Constitution here. The first thing I must establish is that Pavlov will transition from an Empire to a Principality. His Imperial Majesty the Tsar and Grand Prince’s title shall be changed to His Serene Highness The Sovereign Prince of Pavlov. We are also changing our government’s structure to one based off Monaco. We are going to stay a mostly unitary, parliamentary semi-constitutional monarchy as before but we have improved on the weakness of our previous constitutions’ government structure. Judiciary power shall be vested within a Supreme Court acting in name of the Monarch, legislative jointly within the His Serene Highness the  Prince and an elected legislature and executive within His Serene Highness the Prince. Although I must mention that some of these changes will only be implemented once the transitional period is declared finished.

Pavlov will sadly lose some of our provinces due to territorial reform. The territories of Akebar, Montrouge and the Carpathia have been granted independence from Pavlov and may move on their own path now. Our Antarctic territories will no longer be the seat of our government but turned to a colony while our new capital shall be based in the territory of Psatura. A new province has also been formed from the former territory of the Principality of the Qërimoğulları, the Province of Rzagorod. The changes we face will not only be political. We will face a mass cultural reform to help rejuvenate Pavlov. We will go into further detail on these changes in the coming weeks.

God bless Pavlov and god bless the reign of His Serene Highness the Prince of Pavlov.

— Hasan Çakar, Minister of State
