March, 2000 - Warsaw, Poland - Royal Palace
"Prime Minster Burzek, I understand your hesitation about the decision but you have to realize that the people must feel like they have a say in the formation of their government. Our power comes from them. They are the ones who allowed us to reform the monarchy. This has allowed Poland to prosper since. Allow them to have the chance to vote for the Prime Minister position. The people love you as much as they love the Royal Family. You will likely be reelected."
Stanislaus Grabowski had been elected as king by the people. He holds absolute power over the other forms of government but he did not wish to force that power over his ministers or his people. He was chosen to run this nation because he was giving the people a voice and he would continue to do so. The king gazed out of the window as his Ministers who sat at the table argued amongst themselves over the new plan. A small snow flurry blew outside the window blanketing the grass, concrete, and asphalt in the powdery whiteness. The cacophony of the voices were growing heated. Several of the Ministers were not willing to give up their seats that gave them power. Grabowski felt the heat of anger rise up in his chest as insults were hurled from one side of the table to another. Hardliners from both sides were not pleased with what the others were saying. Those in favor were appalled at those who wished to stay in power and those who were against were angry at the chance of losing their positions of power.
The curled fist of the king slammed onto the table with a loud bang, to silence the voices in the room.
"Enough. I have spoken and what I have said will happen. I did not expect to have you go at each other's throats for something as simple as an election but I feel I was wrong. I will be making the announcement later today. Dismissed."
With their heads held like small children who had been chastised, the Ministers rose from the seats and left the sparsely furnished room, leaving the King to sit in silence for the first time in hours since the who debacle started.

"Thank you all for coming to this press conference at such short notice. I have just one announcement to issue tonight. Since the formation of the Monarchy we have relied on the Ministerial cabinet appointed by myself but now I feel as if the people of Poland need to have a say in who runs their country. It is with this belief that I am happy to announce the Prime Minister Election and a reformation of the Council of Ministers. Everything from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Administration to the Ministry of Media and Digital Affairs will be restructured to better help the Polish People. Questions?"
