The rise of Natalia Ivanova, first as Prime Minister of the Union of Yuktobanian Republics, and later when she announced a new constitution and a Constitutional Monarch, was surprisingly quiet. In the new constitution, Natalia would be effectively crowned as Grand Duchess of the new Grand Duchy of Yuktobania. Despite the name change, the federal government of the former Yuktobanian Republics mostly remained, the Executive Power was now in the hands of Natalia I of Yuktobania, and while the Legislative Powers have been reduced slightly, still had retained the same powers as before.
The people however, seemed to enjoy the fact that Yuktobania, one of the last of the Russian Democracies, has finally adopted a constitutional Monarchy. All that is left to do is the final coronation.
And so, with the grace of God, the rise of the Grand Duchy of Yuktobania has finally begun.
