Today following the coronation of the High Queen, the elected delegates of the Uskorian Landtag or National Assembly attended the State Opening of the Landtag and it's very first session.
Her Majesty the High Queen opened the session, the first in Uskorian history with a speech that highlighted Uskor's history and how proud she was to be opening the Landtag with its delegates sitting before her.
Her Majesty's Speech was followed up by speeches from the Delegates including General Sir Cinnamon Toastcrunch (Prog. Citzens) who was Uskor's first Prime Minister who appeared to be close to tears in a heartfelt speech to the Landtag about Uskor's founding and Her Majesty the High Queen.
The Prime Minister and her proposed cabinet won a motion of confidence, with the Leader of the Progressive Citizens Party Jordan van Neiuw Holland becoming the Leader of the Opposition and Lord Commissioner for Human Rights and Anti-corruption and Sir Cinnamon Toastcrunch becoming the Deputy Speaker of the Landtag.
The Nymoria Cabinet consists of: * Claire Nymoria, Prime Minister, Minister for General Government Affairs and Finance (Labour)
*Brittany Danger, Deputy Prime Minister, Advocate General (People's Party)
*HM the High Queen, Minister for State Security, Minister for Foreign Affairs and Culture (People's Party)
* Rob Banks, Minister for the Environment and Negotiating a treaty with Aboriginal Communities, Minister for National Wellbeing and the State Revival (Independent List)
The Landtag then moved onto the business of the day which included amending various historical acts, protecting witches, pardoning people and passing various acts and motions
including the contentious Sanctions motion and Eurovision Act which for the first time in Uskor's 8 year history sees Uskor not screen the Eurovision Song Contest in Tyrshavn People's Hall.
The Landtag controversially chose after some debate to vote down the Army or Navy bill which sees Uskor for the first time without a defence force.
The Landtag also gave Her Majesty the title Field Marshal.
The Landtag also voted to leave the Grand Unifed Micronational and Change the National Flag both votes triggering referendums to occur in January 2019.
