Hasan Çakar decrees electoral law and Supreme Electoral Council

Today, Provisional President Hasan Çakar has written the first decree since the adoption of the new Constitution, establishing the electoral laws for Hasanistan ahead of the upcoming planned presidential election, establishing the Supreme Electoral Council and having dismissed almost all legislation, executive orders and treaties before the date of the adoption of the current Constiution.
The Presidential Decree establishes that presidential elections will use an instant runoff voting system, with candidates requiring 45% or more of vote to win the election. This decision has been made to ensure an element of proportionality. The Supreme Electoral Council has been established, being a new organ of government under the influence of the judiciary.
Now that electoral law has been established, an election can finally be organized. Hasan Çakar says that the election will be declared before the end of next week.
The full Presidential Decree can be read at the Hasani Archives...

2017 Census completed

The Hasani government has completed the 2017 National Census, which records various data regarding the population of Hasanistan. The census has shown that currently, Hasanistan has a population of 8 registered citizens. This is a minor decrease but the government states that the numbers are successful.
While the results will be private and not available to the public, the Hasani government has declassified certain information from the census. According to the census data, Köktughluk has the largest amount of registered citizens with a total of 3, followed by the capital Batyr which has 2 and then Çobanistan, Körfez-i Bahreyn and Ardajan which all only have a single registered citizen. The province of Srigina has no registered citizens, although this is due to its only previous registered citizen having had his citizenship stripped due to organising a coup attempt earlier this year. The census also shows that the Hasani people have a slim majority of nearly 38%, followed by "Turks" (non-Hasani Turks) who are 25% of the population and Arabs, Šlovedks (an ethnic group originating from Nedland) and Slovaks who all respectively make up almost 13% of the population. As expected, Islam is the dominate religion within Hasanistan by 75%. No differentiation between sects of either Islam or Christianity was recorded within the census.
The provisional head of state Hasan Çakar has issued the following statement following the announcement of the completion of the census:

"The census has been completed and the first stage of the six-month plan is complete. Next, I shall write an electoral law for this country so we can finally hold elections and return to activity. I plan for a presidential election in January 2018 and we may hold local elections in some provinces such as Köktughluk and Ardajan before or after the election."

"Six month plan" established for Hasanistan

The Hasani government, under the temporary leadership of the provisional head of state Hasan Çakar, has announced a "six month plan" to stabilize Hasanistan following its recent secession from Nedlando-Khorashan and the other destabilizing events of this year. The plan has been created to set a structured calendar and guide for the temporary Hasani government to follow until all possible elections for the first electoral season are finished.
For this month, the main priority is organizing and conducting a new census. The last census within Hasanistan was held earlier this year when Hasanistan was still part of Pavlov. The census itself shall not be published to protect the privacy of Hasanistan's citizens.
Following the completion of the census, the next priorities are the establishment of the necessary institutions to help organize fair and free elections. The temporary government shall only establish organizations relating to electoral matters and will leave the establishment of other institutions to the elected government.
Elections in themselves shall be held in a time-frame between December and February, with the possibility of being held earlier in late November. A presidential election shall not be held until December, although holding them in 2018 is preferred as Hasanistan has already held an election for its president earlier this year during Hasanistan's temporary independence before joining Khorashan. The date of other elections, legislative and local, is undecided as their are discussions over whether they should be held before or after the presidential election. The new Constitution requires that the selection of a Prime Minister by the President, thus requiring the legislative elections to be held after presidential elections.
The registration of political parties is also going to be permitted from this moment. All parties that have previously existed before Hasanistan joined either Khorashan or Pavlov are permitted to be re-established, although there have been talks of interest in the establishment of new parties.
It should be noted that the elections depend on the results of the census and if Hasanistan does not have enough citizens for suitable legislative and local elections to occur, as happened earlier this year, than elections for the legislature and the government of the Federal Subjects' shall be postponed.
The updating of the Hasani government website, HasanistanPedia and any data is also required to be updated. Hasanistan shall also recontact nations it had signed treaties with following the collapse of Pavlov and even before it joined Pavlov and shall also contact the successor states of Pavlov and Nedlando-Khorashan in regards to re-establishing diplomatic relations.
Finally, there are plans in 2018 to hold an "independence referendum". Although Hasanistan declared its independence in 2011, the secession from Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan was rather quite and could be possibly considered "unprofessional". Thus, if this vote is held and a potential pro-independence campaign succeeds, Hasanistan will officially send a declaration of independence to the respective embassies of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Bahrain and Algeria. It should be noted that this referendum is highly speculative and there are still doubts about it.

Hasani Government statement regarding the referendum in Iraqi Kurdish Regional Government

"The Hasani Government is concerned about the recent developments within Iraq. We believe that tomorrow's independence referendum in Iraqi Kurdistan must be postponed. The priority for all parties within Iraq and its neighbours in this moment must be the fight against Daesh terrorists and to re-establish stability in Iraq following the three-year war in country against Daesh terrorist organization.
This referendum in Iraqi Kurdistan is being held unilaterally and has the potential to escalate to an armed conflict between the central Iraqi government and the Iraqi Kurds and continue the death and destruction that Iraq has faced for the past three years. We ask all involved parties to postpone this referendum until the fight against Daesh is finished and to enter negotiations rather than acting unilaterally.
We are especially concerned about the status of the Kirkuk and Nineveh plains in regards to the situation, both being the biggest potential flashpoints in the region, and the treatment of minorities such as Turkmens, Assyrians and Arabs in the two regions by the Iraqi Kurdish Regional Government.
Thus, Hasanistan calls upon all involved parties to de-escalate the situation by postponing the referendum and entering negotiations while concentrating on completing the fight against Daesh."

-Hasan Çakar, Provisional Head of State of Hasanistan

Hasanistan secedes from Nedlando-Khorashan; adopts new Constitution on its sixth anniversary

Hasanistan has unilaterally seceded from Nedlando-Khorashan and has adopted a new Constitution on the sixth anniversary of the nation's establishment.

Hasanistan secession from Nedlando-Khorashan has been because of the state's instability and inactivity. Many Hasanis felt dissatisfied with the union, which has been unstable since its establishment, and Vali Hasan Çakar himself opposed the union of Nedland and Khorashan. Hasanistan joined Nedlando-Khorashan on the day of its establishment, 23 August, as part of Khorashan.

Vali Hasan Çakar has said that Hasanistan wishes to maintain a good relationship with Nedland and Khorashan regardless of the secession, but has also said that the future of the united state is dim.

As Hasanistan has seceded, a new Constitution has been written for this new incarnation of Hasanistan. The Constitution, which is Hasanistan's fourth, has took the "best elements" of all three previous Constitutions but Vali Hasan Çakar has also said that the Constitution will return Hasanistan to its founding ideals. The Constitution shall be published tomorrow.

An acting government shall be established to govern Hasanistan until an elected government is established. Elections are expected to be held between November 2017 and January 2018.
