| Message | http://forum.particracy.net/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=81&start=80 In the early morning hours of October 3015, a military coup has taken place in Sekowo. This happens just a month after the Kokuminto party won an outstanding election victory giving them complete de facto control over the country. The coup was led by Marshal Tokonami Takejiro and several other high ranking military officers. They walked into the Celestial Palace while Emperor Kenji was having a routine meeting with his cabinet and demanded that the cabinet leave the palace immediately. Approximately 15 minutes later, the Emperor Kenji and his wife were escorted by members of the military police out of the palace to an unknown location. The constitution of 2996, was literally burned by members of the coup. They announced the following in a nation wide broadcast: "Citizens of Sekowo, the military is now in control of the country. We can no longer stand back and watch Sekowo be devoured by the barbarians who currently occupy parts of our nation. We do not recognize their authority and we will no longer allow them to roam free in our nation. The barbarian sympathizer Kenji Ishida and his family have been asked to leave Sekowo immediately as they are no longer recognized as the rulers of this Great Nation. Thank you." In a quick and painless ceremony, Emperor Kōgon who was seen as a pretender to the Sekowan throne was declared the new Emperor of Great Sekowo. Shirō Hirobumi of the Kokuminto party was awarded the title of "Kokumudaijin" or Minister of State and is officially considered the new Head of Government in Sekowo but all real power lies with Marshal Takejiro, the current Minister of Defence and War. |
