In 2020, a Pre-Tavari burial site known as a necropolis was unearthed at Joint Defense Facility Two, the most secure military base in the country. An international agreement signed in 1894 between [[Acronis]] and [[Tavaris]] called the Joint Executive Agreement on the Repatriation of Cultural Heritage mandated that upon the discovery of Tavari remains in Acronis, the Acronian government was to notify Tavaris and make arrangements for the Tavari to come to Acronis to inspect and return the remains to their country. However, the civil government announced that it would not give formal notification until an "independent investigation" could be conducted to confirm that the remains were Tavari. This would have taken several months, where the Agreement called for notification in three days.

This would have taken several months, where the Agreement called for notification in three days.


In response to this decision, the Elders issued an Edict that directed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to give notification to Tavaris within seven days. This was the first time in history where the Elders had mandated a particular action in foreign affairs, and it is believed that it was primarily by the Matron's urging that the Elders issued the Edict, and is understood to have taken the civil government by surprise. It was speculated that, if the civil governmenmt had refused to follow the Edict, the Matron herself would have to deliver notification herself, perhaps by ordering the commander of a military aircraft to fly her to Tavaris without formal permission from the civil government.

However, before the seven day deadline could be reached, the King exercised the rarely-used power to overrule the Matron, declaring the Edict unconstitutional and null and void. The King's declaration, in part, stated that the Matron's office "is a domestic authority, not an international one" and that "the authority of the Matron has always been understood, and most continue to be understood, as to allow for the principle of 'morality' to be used to overrule the civil government only in circumstances in which the moral character of the civil government is in mortal jeopardy." It was the first time King Mital II had ever overruled the Matron, and only the tenth time any monarch had done so since the turn of the 20th century.
