At the start of the new year a centuries old institution came to an end. Its just over 800 years since the great Ecto I unified the different city states on Dino-Land's continent's eastern coast to form the Dino Empire. Soon afterwards the whole planet was under control of the Empire. Now however the empire is no more as it has been abolished by Ronald and a republic put in it's place.
Ronald and G-B-H will serve as the first 2 Consuls though G-B-H will step down at the end of the year early (usually the period of office will be 2 years) to allow for the first elected Consul to take office. The 2 Consuls will rule the Republic along with an expanded senate. Ronald said that he was excited about the new direction for the Dinos which would see true democracy for the first time at all levels of government.
Ronald admitted he had some sadness about no longer being Emperor but said that everything had to end one day. Adding his 2 reigns together Ronald has been Emperor for nearly 53 years. Surprisingly his reign is only the 5th longest. Juliawaki's record of 222 years will remain unbroken though of course his reign was ended by Ronald!
