In 1699, the largest popular uprising in the city's history overthrew the Lord-Mayor and seized the city's central keep, which the rebels renamed "the Palace of Vaar." The revolt was known initially as the Vaar Uprising. Unlike previous rebellions, the sheer number of people who were willing to take up arms against the Asendavian authorities was beyond what the local military garrisons could handle themselves. By the spring of 1700, the city was de facto independent, with no surviving Asendavian governing officials present in the city and the Asendavian garrisons almost entirely depleted. Many of the Asendavian soldiers chose to lay down arms and join the Vaar Uprising themselves. However, a major reinforcement of Asendavian troops arrived in the fall of 1701 and led to a brutal, grueling military campaign over that winter and into the spring of 1702 in which at least 10,000 people were killed. Over the course of what became known as the Bloody Winter, delegates from the city of New

Members of Vaarliament are elected in regular elections every 4 years. The members elect one of their own to serve as First Minister, who assists in the administration of the principality and who serves independently of the princess or prince of the day. While the Vaar monarchy is expected to remain politically neutral and unaffiliated with any particular faction or party, the First Minister is invariably the leader of the largest party in Vaarliament. The job of First Minister is often derided as being "irrelevant" or even "useless" considering the monarch's executive authority, but the First Minister's consent is always required for any Constitutional changes, and law requires that the First Minister not only be kept aware but "be present for the making of all major decisions of state" and be allowed access to the monarch at all times. The First Minister is generally considered to be the ''political'' leader of
A monarch is elected only upon the death or resignation of the previous monarch. In cases of temporary absence for any reason, the First Minister assumes executive control of the principality. Since Constitutional reforms undertaken in 2009, upon the death or resignation of the monarch, Vaarliament must appoint exactly five candidates, who will then appear on the ballot in an election placed before the entire citizenry of
