Fellow Mordusians.
I come before you today because our Republic is in a peculiar state – we are devoid of a government. While a cabinet proposal is in the works, we are currently not able to execute any functions of the state.
Now, while I personally am an anarcho-capitalist, I understand that the people of Mordusia are not yet psychologically prepared for a truly free society, and the government must be maintained as an unfortunately necessary evil.
Therefore, I must unfortunately declare a state of emergency now exists in Mordusia. Rest assured, you will not have your rights violated, nor your liberties removed, the government is in good hands. However, there are several temporary changes that will take place.
First, the offices of the Financial Ministry will be directly controlled by the Austrian Financial Corp.
Second, the Defence Ministry will be temporarily run by Commander Militant William Frederickson.
Third, William Putnam, head of the Union Party, will be appointed to the temporary position as Chief Consul, and will help maintain stability.
The State of Emergency will be revoked immediately upon the successful establishment of a new cabinet.
I have ordered the Justice Ministry to ensure no looting or other chaotic events occur during this unfortunate time, and have granted the DISS full authority to maintain order.
Worry not, this will all be over soon.Signed,
the Government of the Mordusian Federal Republic
