(6 (7)-6-6 (5))	It took the Senate 2 months to wrangle through internal negotiations and private negotiations with the incoming Raudsepp administration, to finally put the matter to a vote. With there being a 6-6-6 (not an auspicious number for the incoming socialist government) vote for the nomination, there being thus a tie, it befell the Chancellor, a United Ayreonist herself, to break it. Following the party line, she voted in favour of accepting the nomination. As such, Annika Raudsepp was declared Prime Minister elect, and she would be inaugurated the following day.
1719	11	20	Founding of the city of Haratşarbatır: Motion that Hurmu establishes a city in Lontinien bearing the name Haratşarbatır, to honor a deceased individual who has done much for this country, Mukhaliin Kharachar (Haratşar Muhalin), Khan of the Blue Band of the Silver Yak Horde.	(12-0-1–4)	Mukhaliin Kharachar, also known as Haratşar Muhalin, was Khan of the Blue Band of the Silver Yak Horde. He died in 1717 to much grief of the Hurmu community. In OOC consideration, Mukhaliin Kharachar was the Hurmu character of the late Alperen, and the erection of a city in his honour is in this way one of our ways to mark our memory of him.

The ambassador to Sanama discretely informed the Sanaman government of this, and Sanama promptly left WANC.

Moreover, that the assets of the Hurmu Credit Union, SDP/CWP/Umraist parties and the Trade Unions Congress be confiscated for the reconstruction of the Palace of the Elenaran. Further that an immediate 20% wealth tax be levied upon all members and contributors of the aforementioned, so as to establish a General Fund available to support the Order of the Holy Lakes.
