History
During the Octoberprotests, many bears demanded more power to be handed to Beertje Maple, whereas others demanded it stay with the monocrat, Beertje Bacon, who had been in charge of the Beardom for 11 years. As the protests got out of hand, Tigrish, brother of the Tigerium queen, Tijgertje, met up with Beertje Maple and Beertje Bacon and arranged peace. Beertje Maple would become the constitutional monarch whereas Beertje Bacon would remain as monocrat, with full control.
However, soon after more protests started which led to Beertje Bacon surrendering his power and allowing a democracy to be formed. On the 24th of October, 2025, Beertje Bacon formed the first political party, the Constitutional Bearparty. That same day and the next few days, 19 other parties were formed.
The first elections happened on the 25th-26th of October and Beertje Bacon won the elections. He formed a coalition and reformed the democracy, increasing the amount of seats in the House of Representatives from 75 to 150. The coalition, primarily ASC, planned a change in the constitution of banning parties that are suspected of sabotage or promoting violence. Most parties agreed to this law, which caused the banning List Biff Beardom (LB), FuriousBearRoarers (WBB) and Bearsufferingen (BL).
