Jaran's legislation was defeated on May 6 with 68% of Representatives voting not in favor of the resolution. The Representatives voted on new legislation that established the Constitutional Reform Committee on May 12, proposed by Chief Starr. This committee was formed of sixteen Representatives, four from each party, and was headed by the second Speaker of the People, Cristofer Benyne. Chief Starr was the eighteenth member of the committee, representing the current executive administration. This committee met over 100 times over the course of two years before finalizing the new Constitution on May 24, 1936. The modern Constitution was read aloud multiple times in public speeches and over radio stations to Equaa's residents before the Representative elections later that year, with many campaigners focusing on their approval or rejection of the new Constitution. Elections on December 1, 1936 cemented Equaa's citizens belief in the new Constitution, and The People's Assembly convened on December 5 to ratify the new framework.

During the two years of committee sessions, Chief Starr's administrative government focused on increasing Equatannian exports with the advancement of refrigeration and transportation. This increase in GDP lead to a flourishing economy during the late 1930s.


The passing of the Constitution changed The Sovereign of Equaa into The Federal Republic of Equatannia, "''The Land of Equals,"'' as well as expanded the regional governments into having a separate congressional assembly, The Regional. The framework listed in the Constitution calls for Representative, Regional, and Presidential elections every four years, with direct representation from percentage of voters approving a political party or independent candidate. There are no term limits, as direct representation and separation of government branches disallows for the evolving of a dictator. It instates Olympia Starr as the nation's first President, with the first Presidential election planned to be held along with the regularly scheduled elections on December 4, 1940.
