Ninth Republic of Egelion

The Ninth Republic of Egelion was created as the Partido Unido de los Trabajadores took over the power from the former Partido Nacionalista de la República. The first change happened in June 3362, when PUT gained a majority of the Senate. Later in June 3364 and November 3365 the party gained both a majority, the presidency and two thirds of the senate.

Previously there had been several republics but much of the knowledge from those past days are now gone.

The Ninth Republic of Egelion is generally considered to be the current epoch of the republic.

History
This is a recap of what has happened so far.

Social reforms and the reforming of a national defense
In the years around 3365 the Egelolian government lead by Partido Unido de los Trabajadores started changing laws. Early stricter rules regarding education were implemented, moving towards a more secular society. Also reforms regarding socialised industries and education were implemented.

In November 3365 the senate also voted through a proposal to change the Egelolian flag and national anthem, thus adopting a flag similar to the one adopted in 2429 and adopting the song A las Barricadas as the national anthem.



However the biggest change was still to be found in the Armed Forces of Egelion. During the early days of the Ninth Republic the government created the Egelolian Aeronautics and Space Organisation and designated Area 15 for military research and development. The senate voted also on laws meant to once again reaffirm Egelion's stand on nuclear and chemical weapons, saying that they were needed for the national defense.
