GBN- The Sjöberg Referendum passed a national vote 2 days ago, creating the 2084 constitutional amendment. This amendment officially changed the name of the country, now formerly named The Desmatrovian Social Republic of the Garlendan People, to the now current The Socialist Republic of Gavastek. This is a huge leap forward for our country as it attempts to remove the last influences from the russian empire and the second republic. This includes the named garlendan, given to the country by colonisers based off of mispronunciations. The name also comes as our country drives farther and farther away from the revolutionary desmatrovian principles of the 1940s and '50s. As the country settles more and more into the peace, prosperity, and national pride we have come to acquire, the country has decided to put back into place the last missing remnants of our culture into society. Here is an excerpt from Councilman Sergei Nevalninsky on the matter:
"The results of the referendum reflect our country's thrive to show our final show of independence, strength, and culture. The great people of our great nation wish to be known for their culture and own names, and not that of a tyrannical empire that crumbled before all of our eyes during the second republic. This just adds to the fact to show that we are stronger than any coloniser, and that we are a force to be reckoned with. This final change reflects [our] own national identity, and only our national identity.
After his re-election by a very healthy margin, Nevalninsky is seemingly a very likely contender for head councilman.
