The Dino Elders, an influential council of elder statesmen, has given its blessing to Ronald and MBH's plans to return the Dinos to a monarchy at the end of the year. A bill has already been passed by the Senate so even if the Elders had declined the change it would not have stopped the change necessarily though the loss of face would have been considerable.
One change the Elders did suggest was that Jimmy be made Head of the Senate for as long as he wants the role as a counter balance to the Emperor (who will be Ronald). After Jimmy stands down the position of Head of the Senate will be put to a Senate vote. Ronald has agreed the change, Jimmy who is not happy with the return of monarchy is said to be accepting of the role "grudgingly".
