The Menshev Compromise

The Menshev Compromise was a compromise of power between Myohani, who represented the Myohanists and authoritarian socialists, and Gallus, who represented the Menshev socialists. The Menshevs held the May 2021 election, where the winning party would be given the task to write the new country's constitution. The Menshevs' goal was to establish a libertarian socialist state, whilst the other parties had other ideas. The Myohanian Communist Party ended up winning the vote, which sparked anger and disappointment in the Menshev side. To compromise for this, and for the fact that the two sides had different views on the definition of socialism, the Menshev Compromise was proposed by Myohani, who eventually ratified it together with Gallus.
This agreement ended the primacy of Johania within the union and enforced equal treatment and rights for all of the member states. It also reinforced the autonomy of the constituent republics. There were reports of Myohani literally whistling Dixie when this part of the compromise was read at the Peace Tribunal, but these were never confirmed.
This led to the institution of a new federal governing system where each member state sends two representatives to what is known as the Myjohanian Central Council.
It unified the formerly de-facto independent republics (created by the collapse of the Second Johanian Republic) into the Myjohanian Union.
