From the Chamber of Professions
Several members of the Chamber of Professions have voiced opposition to the motion of the Chamber of State effectively nullifying the recall of Anja Mauer. The decision is thus reversed, temporarily. Gertrude Echteran remains the representative of Istkalen in the European Council.

From the Government of Istkalen
Exercising powers under the Provisions against the Northern Hordes, the Government of Istkalen schedules elections to a Constituent Assembly, per the Constitution of 1975, on 31 May 2021. The Assembly will convene on 10 June 2021, at which point this government will be dissolved entirely. The Assembly will have, in addition to the creation of a new constitution, the responsibility of carrying out its statutes in due time.

On Sanctions
I'm sure, of course, that you, people of Europe, would not want your energy to be more expensive. Your lamps; your computers; all of your electronics.
Of course you wouldn't. But it would certainly be terribly unfortunate if it were; if say, almost a third of Europe's uranium were suddenly inaccessible, would it? If a fourth of Europe's tungsten were? And even a sixth of its rare-earth metals?
It certainly would. Everything would be more expensive; your energy, your lightbulbs, and even your smartphones and your computers, all of which, we all know, are almost inseparable from us. And that would certainly be a disaster, wouldn't it?
Ilest Kerel
Head of State of Istkalen -
Secession
The territory of Istkalen secedes from Istkalen. The government of the newly founded Republic of Istkalen, which is independent and unlinked with Istkalen, is that which I have made clear in the previous decrees I have made out. I am proclaimed head of state of the new Republic of Istkalen, and will be until a constitution can be written.
The Republic of Istkalen, as a new entity, applies for membership in the European Union, which it cannot be denied.

From the Head of State of the Republic of Istkalen
Iras Tilkanas is appointed as Interim Councillor to the European Union for the Republic of Istkalen, which is unrelated to the former "Istkalen," by nature of being a secessionist state encompassing all of the territory of Istkalen and thus one made from nothing, until elections on the 5th of May.

From the Head of State of the Republic of Istkalen
Due to the present political chaos, elections to the presently appointed state occupational chambers, although not the state chambers, which must continue to play a stable role until stabilization of the country, will occur on a "single-list" basis - that is, a single list will be presented to citizens, to approve or to reject. I have invited the following groups, divided into two categories, to attend a political consultative congress that will create the list:
Political Parties
- the Union Party, representing the intelligentsia
- the Communist Party, representing workers
- the Patriotic League, representing the youth
- the National Republican Party, representing artisans
- the Center Party, representing agricultural workers
Mass Organizations
- the Trade Federation of Istkalen, representing the workers
- the Free Istkalener Youth, representing the youth
- the Istkalener Cultural Organization, representing the cultural interests of Istkalen
- the Women's Liberation Association, representing the women of Istkalen
This will not be a permanent measure. Full democracy will return upon the stabilization of the political association, which the state is presently trying to effect.

From the Head of State of the Republic of Istkalen
Regarding the State of Total Participation
Citizens, we must remember, the Republic of Istkalen is not the vulgar republic of the West, nor one that is false - one that endeavors to cover up the abuses of its leaders as a great performance for the whole of the world. The Republic of Istkalen is a state of total participation, based on the union, the great ulsikes, and the town, the great ulsien. It is not one where you can shirk off one's duties to its maintenance, as in the West, where most of the population is allowed to remain complacent as to maintain the power of the ruling class. No. It is one where duty is expected of everyone - the duty to create and participate in the political, economic, and cultural life of the nation.
To not create, to not participate is thus a crime, for to not do these things is to remove an essential part of our Republic - you, citizens, for you form it - and thus weaken it. The Republic is the expression of the emotion and energy of every single citizen of our Istkalen; it is the sole true expression, in fact, of the nation as a whole. Surely, surely, we cannot weaken our voice.
Nor can participation occur outside of the Republic. The Republic is the instrument of national expression, a single beautiful melody; for any part of that expression, made up of all our citizens, to stray and to play in a cacophonous way would ruin the melody, would render it horrid. This cannot be tolerated. We all, through the mechanisms of the Republic, the state occupational unions, the cultural organizations, the chambers - shape its melody to perfection. Anyone who goes outside of these ruins it, ruins everything, for everyone.
Do we want such people to remain and to ruin everything? No, certainly not. They must be helped back into the Republic; and if they continue to refuse, then they simply must be excluded.
We must all, as such, strive - strive, in remembrance of the principles of our state - of unity, work, and nation - through the organs of state in the construction of the nation and the maintenance of its flowing life, so that we may keep it the beautiful and singular expression of our people, of the citizens, that it is and absolutely must be.

Regarding the Absence of Our Head of State
Our Head of State Ilest Kerel decided to resign last night, amid pressure from the National Assembly and Council of Ministers. The Council of Ministers thus assumes his powers as a single body.
On the behalf of the Council of Ministers, and of the people,
Liros Ikomar
Premier of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Istkalen -
From the Council of Ministers
The National Assembly, the Council of Ministers, and the elders of the state occupational unions, cultural organizations, and the political organizations, have relocated to the state redoubt, fearing for their own safety.

From the Council of Ministers
Head of State Ilest Kerel of Istkalen has handed his power to the Republic of Istkalen. It thus is now truly the sole legal government in Istkalen, deriving its legitimacy not simply from the old Istkalen but as far back as the first Empire, and the first Emperor, to rule in a united Istkalen, a lineage lasting over two millenia.

From the Head of State
Regarding the Nofoagan Sanctions
We are disappointed in the decision of the Republic of Nofoaga to adopt sanctions against our Republic, arguing that we have eroded the democratic values of the Union. Presently, the Republic of Istkalen is in a state of transition, away from autocracy and towards what is likely to be its first true democracy. Our predecessors made a number of terrible mistakes, terrible actions; but we have sworn not to follow in their steps, and rather to take a new path towards a bright and stable future.
We do however, understand why the Republic of Nofoaga has made this decision, and will make every attempt to reverse what our predecessors have done and to rectify the general behavior of our nation.

From the Head of State
I confirm that despite the present situation, I, the members of the National Assembly, the Council of Ministers, and the various elders of the state occupational unions, cultural organizations, and political associations will be attending the "Parade of Democracy" today in Tartu.
Liros Ikomar
Head of State of the Republic of Istkalen -
From the Council of Ministers
The Republic of Istkalen has the strong desire to renegotiate the terms of surrender, which it allegedly was not allowed to view at the time of signing and which it believes to be unnecessarily harsh and not at all conducive to peace. Specifically:
- the Republic wishes to renegotiate those terms ensuring the total and permanent dissolution of its armed forces, preferring instead to demilitarize its own borders
- the Republic wishes to renegotiate those terms placing limits on its industrial capacity
- the Republic wishes to renegotiate those terms guaranteeing the members of the coalition a quota of its industrial output
- the Republic wishes to clarify the method through which reparations will be paid, preferring to do so financially
- the Republic wishes to renegotiate those terms limiting it from engaging in trade with other states
- the Republic wishes to renegotiate those terms giving certain controls over all its natural resources to the Joint Transitional Authority
- the Republic wishes to clarify terms regarding its existence
- the Republic wishes to restructure the Joint Transitional Authority
We believe that many of the problems that have arisen in the meantime will be resolved through this renegotiation.
On the behalf of the Council of Ministers:

- upon the initiation of recall, a vote is held again
This law as well, and this law only, is repealable only by initiative of two million citizens, subject to a referendum if said initiative passes.

Joint Statement, by His Excellency, the Helejtek, the Council of State, and the Head of State
Present tensions in Istkalen are terrifying. Hysteria is beyond control; a general strike threatens not simply our economy but now, quite possibly, our very lives. No longer is there electricity or any of the conveniences of modern life, whether it is the collection of trash or sewage treatment. With elections having been held today to National Assembly and the sixteen occupational committees that compose it, it seems as though the country might burst, suddenly, in rage.
We have conferred as to establish a single and unified political system, described in what has become the Interim Constitutional Act No. 1. But we, alongside the Federation of Labor, or the Trade Federation, depending on how one refers to it, believe and understand that we cannot install a government by ourselves in these times. We have thus penned the following document, the Interim Constitutional Act No. 3, as to establish a system of power-sharing between the Joint Transitional Authority in Istkalen and the present government.
If the Joint Transitional Authority agrees to the present draft act, the strike will end, and life will resume as normal, with the added benefit of hysteria being reduced greatly.

From the National Assembly
For entirely legal purposes, we redefine Istkalen as a nation and a territory which existed until 19:42 on the 2nd of June. Istkalen has thus ceased to exist.
We declare a new nation, without connection to any others, the nation of Istkalen, represented by the Republic of Istkalen. As the representative body of these people, ordained by them and by Heaven, we have the right to do this.
We are also applying for membership in the European Union, which cannot be denied us, as it is illegal. Dr. Koline is made a citizen of the Republic of Istkalen, along with all others in its territory as well as those on a list defined by law. Dr. Koline especially would like to announce that her campaign will continue, but that she will from now on be from the Republic of Istkalen rather than the defunct Republic of Istkalen.
