Line 281:
Fifteen of the officers, including Clodagh Lean were executed by firing squad on 15 July, 1964 at a military prison on Sentinel Island. The execution of two of her righthands, Major Ceri Ziris, and Aidan Kodagh was delayed so that they could testify at the trials of other officers. Ceri, Aidan, the remainder of the rebels found guilty were executed by firing squad at the same location on 14 August 1964

Despite having resulted in a disastrous failure, the Coup of Draal had long-lasting and widely-felt political results. It had the effect of severely diminishing the prestige, and popularity of conservative factions within the Ansan Coalition, and allowed liberal, pro-reformist movements to grow in power and influence. As a direct result of the coup, support for the Carwal Administration both in the Saekari and the population were destroyed overnight. Many key members within Paragon Carwal's cabinet were arrested in an investigation launched by the General Directorate for Internal Security (GDIS) on charges of colluding with treasonous elements. Though all were eventually found not guilty, and released from custody following the conclusion of the investigation, public appoval forf the Administration was at an all-time low.
Line 292:
''I am leaving my post with apprehension, but also with hope, and faith in you, your wisdom and force of spirit. We are the heirs of a great civilization, and its rebirth into a new modern and dignified life now depends on one and all. I wish to thank with all my heart all those who have stood together with me all these years for the fair and good cause. Though some mistakes could have surely been avoided, many things could have been done better but I am convinced that this democratic institution for which we have shed our blood to defend, and construct will persevere even through the darkest of days. I wish all the best to all of you.''</blockquote>The speech received relatively mixed reception by public commentators many of whom refused to vocally provide their opinions on the matter. Most notably, Carwal did not devote any portion of the speech to recite the accomplishments of her administration; a decision reputedly caused by humiliation, and shame. Early the following morning, Carwal and her family said farewell to the staff of the Eryas Palace in the Main Hall before being escorted by a motorcade to their personal residence in District Elwyn, Loren'ka SAR.
Two weeks later, Carwal's family reported to the local police department of her sudden disappearance. She was soon found deceased by police; she had hung herself using a rope slung over the branch of a tree in the nearby Kadral Forest, her personal belongings, and last words neatly packed using her beige-coloured trench coat. In the 6-page long suicide note which was declassified in 2009 by the Department of Justice, she expressed her love for her family - reciting the memories they had made together - as well as devoting a portion to express her "immeasurable shame and humiliation" of the failures of her administration to prevent the Coup of Draal from occurring. In said portion, she dedicated several paragraphs
With the resignation, and death of the former Paragon, the Carwal administration was slowly dismantled as Premier Broin assumed the position of Paragon till the Saekari could organize a nationwide vote to elect a new individual to assume the office. An emergency election was announced in April by the both chambers of the Saekar, and was set to conclude on September of the same year.
The political fallout of the coup tarnished the reputation of candidates previously affiliated with the Carwal Administration, and allowed pro-reformation liberal groups headed by Jalo R. SIinkar nar Pankow'ka, the former Mayor of the city of Pankow, to skyrocket in popularity. Subsequently, on April 5, 1964, SIinkar announced his candidacy for the paragonship nomination. Though some questioned Siinkar's age and political experience, his charisma, eloquence and familial history as the a descendant of Hera Siinkar earned him numerous supporters even amongst conservative circles. Despite this, however, Siinkar faced several potential challengers, including Senate Majority Leader Anrah Niamh Zarsan, the former Governor of Ytak'ga Aran Ythar Garsan, and Senator Cadwyn Fanar. But regardless, Siinkar remained a popular choice amongst citizens who were set to cast their votes in mid June.
In an attempt to challenge Siinkar's upper-hand in public perception, Saenad Majority Leader Aran Zarsan invited him to a televised debate. Siinkar accepted. The series of debates between the two candidates became the first extensive use of what would thereafter become a staple medium of Mirhaimian political campaigns—television. Broadcast live on national television all throughout April, and May, the give debates ultimately provided Siinkar's campaign with a huge boost.
Estimates suggest 93% of all eligible voters watched the first debate. The Majority Leader Aran Zarsan voters seen on their monochrome television screens seemed pale, anxious, and uneasy. He was fresh out of the hospital after being treated for an infected cut, so he donned a light-colored suit that faded into the gray background; combined with the bright studio lighting that left Zarsan perspiring, he provided a less-than-commanding presence. Siinkar, in sharp contrast, appeared calm, tanned, and telegenic.
On Following the conclusion of the vote on September 1, 1964, Siinkar won the popular vote in a landslide victory with 81.3% of the votes out of a record number of ballots cast. No oppositions both in the Saedikar, and the Saenad were given to Siinkar's victory.
On the cold morning of Federation Day, September 2, 1964, Jalo R. SIinkar took the oath of office. After the tumultuous events of previous year, and the tense political situation in both chambers of the Saekari, Siinkar realized the importance of ensuring that his inaugural address would reach out to both his supporters and opponents. In the days and weeks before it was to be delivered, he carefully studied famous speeches, such as the Declaration of Federalization, and copied their terse, vivid style. In the speech, he focused almost exclusively on domestic problems such as rapid inflation, unemployment. In addition, he claimed that his election signaled a fundamental generational shift in Mirhaime:

Political concerns in Mirhaime include the growing gap between rich and poor and government corruption. Nonetheless, the level of public support for the government and its management of the nation is high, with 85–95% of Mirhaimian citizens expressing satisfaction with the central government, according to a 2011 survey.
Direct democracy and federalism are hallmarks of the Mirhaimian political system. Mirhaimian citizens are subject to three legal jurisdictions: the municipality (Ha), state (Ga) and federal (Sa) levels. The 1650 Constitution
By calling a federal referendum, a group of citizens may challenge a law passed by the Saedikar if they gather 5,000,000 (previously 3,000,000) signatures against the law within 100 days. If so, a national vote is scheduled where voters decide by a simple majority whether to accept or reject the law. Any state (Ga) can also call a constitutional referendum on federal law.

With gun ownership explicitly stated in the ''1650 Constitution''
Firearms regulation in Mirhaime allows the acquisition of semi-automatic, and – with a may-issue permit – fully automatic firearms, by Mirhaimian citizens who had served at least 24 months in any federal uniformed services. The possession of firearms by civilians who had not completed their mandatory military service or foreigners is strictly prohibited and could face up to 15 years in federal prison with deadly assaults with firearms typically resulting in death sentences.

'''The Mirhaime Realm Guards (MRG)''' is the command responsible for the operational readiness of the conventional ground forces of the '''Mirhaime Realm Defence Forces (MRDF)'''. It maintains regular forces units at bases across Mirhaime, Sarvimaa, and Taiyo, and is also responsible for the Army Reserve, the largest component of the Primary Reserve. The Mirhaime Realm Guards has approximately 2,600 tanks in operation, including the TG-67K and TG-90NKs, which form the backbone of their mechanized armor and infantry forces. This also includes a sizable arsenal of many artillery systems, including approximately 1,700 self-propelled TH-75NK howitzers and 720 helicopters and UAVs of numerous types, are assembled to provide additional fire, reconnaissance, and logistics support. The Realm Guards trace its lineage from the Trinterian Banner Army which was established following the establishment of the Trinterian Commonwealth. Following the collapse of the Commonwealth, the Banner Army splintered into different warring factions that either came to swear allegiance to their native Ga or come to form mercenary companies. Amongst these remnants emerged the Army of the Republic of Lestek'ha which later evolved into the Trinterian Confederacy following its establishment in 1625. The subordinate Trinterian Confederate Army went on to play a key role in establishing the Mirhaime Federation in 1650, and later the protection its independence. From a number of decisive victories, the Mirhaime Realm Guards helped forged a national identity, and a great sense of national pride.
