In an address televised live on Southern News, President Jose Djordjevic shocked the nation and the region when he announced the culmination of secret negotiations with the breakaway island of Kyralia.
He delivered a pleasant surprise. After being technically at war for almost fifty years, the governments of Karakas and Kyralia had agreed on a formula for reunification.
Kyralia's government accepted a proposal which would allow the island to keep certain of its socialist / communist policies. President Djordjevic has reportedly introduced a bill to the Assembly which, if approved, will change the relationship of the states and territories to the capital, granting them more freedom to make laws and decide trade policies.
The bill is currently expected to be approved, and if it does, Kyralia will reunify with Karakas. The island has had no diplomatic relations with the mainland or most nations of Apolyton since separation in 1958.
The prospect of reuniting the territories of medieval Karakas, after 46 years of ideological division, will excite many people in both countries. Opinion polls suggest that around 60% of Kyralians and almost four-fifths of Karakasians favor reunification.
