Protests and chaos have ensued throughout the nation as the scandal unfolds. Law enforcement officials have refrained from sharing details with the public in an attempt to soothe protestors, but the lack of transparency has prompted more civilians to take to the streets. Internationally, Axla's large waistline has come under criticism, and the openly corrupt government has brought various analysts to speculate that Axla was better off during its time as a monarchy.Bonn At Dawn's morning report::... He was found in little more than his undergarments in his car with Pizza Shack CEO Paula Dettweiler, both of which were clearly intoxicated. According to law enforcement, "both adults were buried in their own rolls of fat, surrounded by empty bottles, clothes, and pizza boxes." I mean, it's been known for some time that Governor Bergmann is both obese, like the majority of the Axlan populace, and infamous, socially speaking. Last night's scandal brings up a truckload of questions, however - Is he engaging in a serious affair with Paula? Is the First Lady aware? Should drugs and alcohol be more regulated? Should politicians be held to a higher standard? Hell, some have even taken to turn this event into an anti-obesity campaign - Bergmann weighs at least 175 kilograms, and Paula is at least 180. Needless to say, Bergmann's public figure, as well as Paula's and her business's, are both in danger.
At the moment, the Executive Council and the Federal Assembly have taken charge, but they have done nothing to stop the chaos. The possibility of Axla becoming a monarchy once more has prompted many imposters to claim that they, in fact, are Queen Yvonne II's daughters/relatives. The Executive Council has hired various genetic scientists to verify these claims - all claims have been blatantly disproven.Embla Brunner on the state of the government::Honestly, I don't see an issue with going back to the days of the monarchy. After all, Axla is now more stable and we have seen that allowing the people to choose their leader can backfire greatly. Although most monarchs did not live to see fifty, we had many great leaders among them - King Alexander I, Queen Diana, and Queen Yvonne I. Democracy just does not work in Axla.
