Line 11:
The final stages of the preparations were hindered when on 18 January the government of Mekedesh shut down road links to the capital on account of a supposed terrorist threat. It later went to court in an effort to halt a Ministry of Transport order to end the blockade, thus prolonging the situation. On 19 January, the Furmeed Coal Power Station in Mekedesh reported a breakdown, and officials from the Energy Inspectorate were turned back by the Mekedesh Energy Corporation, which claimed that it had not been presented with proper credentials. An order from the Ministry of Energy to allow the officials entry resulted in the Mekedesh Energy Corporation similarly taking the case to court. However, both applications were dismissed by the courts, and on 20 January Prince Elam, the governor of Mekedesh, refused to meet with the Sultan. On 21 January the Executive of the Mekedesh Electricity Corporation was fired by the Ministry for Public Enterprises, while Prince Elam was dismissed, arrested, and charged with treason on account of his obstruction, thus bringing the brief crisis to a close.
The leadup to the wedding saw sweeping restrictions placed across the capital. The usage of vehicles was limited, leading to record air quality improvements and clear skies in Bingol. Extensive security preparations took place across the city, the full scale of which remains classified but was likely built upon the existing Packilvanian surveillance state and thousands of mobilized security forces from around the country. A ban on non-military flights was enforced over much of the city's airspace by the armed forces, and local military installations were filled with the tens of thousands of servicemembers who would take part in the Imperial procession. State media established a presence at key locations to operate authorized broadcasts and livestreams of the event both nationally and internationally.
