The **Bakshi Ministry** was formed on January 20, 2025 with the inauguration of President Sunil Bakshi, and lasted until the formation of the Republic of Morra on February 20, 2029. The Bakshi ministry was the last presidential administration before the adoption of a parliamentary system in 2029.

Following the 2025 presidential election, Sunil Bakshi was inaugurated as president of Morra in a handover ceremony from President Werner Reinheart. As part of a wide range of political reforms, President Bakshi sought to transform the Corporate Republic of Dunsteen to a semi-democratic state in order to improve the legitimacy of the corporate regime. In September 2025, Bakshi formed the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) to become the ruling party of the state, whilst the creation of political parties was followed by the creation of the National Assembly of Morra in October 2025 as a legislative assembly. The Bakshi administration also introduced numerous economic reforms to privatise vast swathes of the Morranian economy, including healthcare and public services. In August 2027, the global financial system suffered a collapse as the Lemurian Star Bank fell into insolvency, causing an economic crisis in the Corporate Republic as thousands found themselves unemployed and unable to afford privatised healthcare. In an attempt to gain financial aid, President Bakshi formally opened communications with the government of Dunsteen, with Bakshi and Dunsteenian president Katharina Müller meeting for the first time at a mediated summit in the Avalonian city of Malmo on November 18, 2027, with Avalonian väldeminister Ada Nilsen heading negotiations between the two states. At the same time, the Morranian government underwent a total restructuring of it's economic ministry, and the government saw the resignations of finance ministers Alexander De Croo and Wopke Hoekstra in short succession, before the appointment of Eris Assecla re-stabilised the finance ministry. The need for further economic aid encouraged the Bakshi administration to participate in further talks with the Republic of Dunsteen, with the two states repeatedly meeting in 2028.

On December 20, 2028, the National Assembly passed a new constitution set to come into effect on February 20, 2029, dissolving the Corporate Republic of Dunsteen and replacing it with the Republic of Morra. On January 1, 2029, Sunil Bakshi was succeeded as the head of the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) by Peter Illich. On February 2, 2029, the National Assembly was dismissed and dissolved after passing a law to allow members to continue their terms for an interim session of the new legislature. In the city of Amsterdam on February 20, 2029, President Sunil Bakshi formally proclaimed the creation of the Republic of Morra ; with the implementation of the new constitution, Bakshi's formal title changed to that of President of Morra, with new restrictions and powers granted to the office. Similarly, the National Assembly of Morra was established as a successor to the former C.R. Dunsteen Assembly and retained the same members until the completion of the 2025-2030 congressional term. As part of the wide reaching constitutional reform, new elections for the National Assembly and presidency were scheduled to be held on January 2, 2030, whilst congressional leader Peter Illich was elected as the first ever Speaker of the National Assembly of Morra, becoming the de-facto prime minister.

Having won the 2025 presidential election, Sunil Bakshi was formally inaugurated as president of Morra on January 20, 2025 during a handover ceremony from Werner Reinheart in the city of Amsterdam. As one of his first acts of government, President Bakshi formed an economic advisory commission under the leadership of Vice President Werner Reinheart with the aim to further and deepen the shrinking of the economic responsibilities of the state through the delegation of key social services to private firms. On May 1, 2025, President Sunil Bakshi announced a transition plan to reform the political system of the Corporate Republic of Dunsteen to become more akin to a democratic state; beginning on August 14, 2025, regions from across Morra were invited to select delegates to represent them in a National Assembly, whilst 50% of the seats were reserved for corporations and representatives of different sectors of the economy. On September 4, 2025 the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) was founded from the EuroCorp affiliated independent caucus to become the majority government political party, with President Bakshi and Vice President Reinheart joining the organisation as general secretary and deputy secretary respectively. On October 1, 2025 the National Assembly began it's first parliamentary session, replacing the presidential council as the main legislature of the nation; as the first act of the National Assembly, the session passed an amendment codifying the existence of the National Assembly into the constitution of the C.R. Dunsteen.

With a new national assembly set in place, in January 2026 President Sunil Bakshi passed a series of legislation introducing a contracting system for public services centralised under the newly established Ministry for Public Services Management, bringing government services such as policing, healthcare, transport and emergency services into the organisations with the intention of entirely subcontracting the industries. On March 15, 2026, President Bakshi and Vice President Werner Reinheart formally launched the EuroCorp private security firm Bestrafer as the formal police force of the nation at a ceremony in The Hague alongside EuroCorp CEO Alisher Usmanov. Further privatisations of services continued throughout 2026 and early 2027, with the contracting of healthcare to Gezondheidszorg Morra (GM), another EuroCorp subsidy, taking place in May 2027. As part of the government's economic policy, an economic commission led by Vice President Reinheart and Finance Secretary Alexander de Croo was in existence between January 2025 and June 2027 with the purpose of sustainably cutting levels of taxation against private companies in such a manner to retain a sufficient level of public money to operating contract license fees and to function.

In August 2027, the global financial system suffered a collapse as the Lemurian Star Bank fell into insolvency, bringing down much of the globalised economy with it; in the Corporate Republic of Dunsteen, the crisis manifested itself in the form of an intense recession as thousands found themselves unemployed and unable to afford privatised healthcare. On September 4, 2027, President Sunil Bakshi dismissed his economic commission, along with finance secretary Alexander de Croo, and installed the economist Wopke Hoekstra as the head of a new Ministry of Economics and Finance with the task of resuscitating the Morranian economy. In an attempt to gain additional financial aid, President Bakshi formally opened communications with the government of Dunsteen, with Bakshi and Dunsteenian president Katharina Müller meeting for the first time at a mediated summit in the Avalonian city of Malmo on November 18, 2027, with Avalonian väldeminister Ada Nilsen heading negotiations between the two states. On February 3, 2028, finance minister Wopke Hoekstra resigned from the government following policy differences with senior administration officials, leading Eris Assecla to be appointed to the finance ministry the same evening. As part of communications with the Republic of Dunsteen, on February 28, 2028 President Sunil Bakshi established the Commission on Morranian Identity under the leadership of vice president Werner Reinheart with the intention of rebranding the republic to a more internationally acceptable form of government in exchange for receiving international aid and economic support. As gas and oil prices started to spiral upwards in April 2028 following the attack on the Bolshoy oil fields in the Russian Federation, President Bakshi opened a commission for energy independence with finance secretary Eris Assecla at it's head with the sole goal of finding ways to create local energy self-sufficiency.

On August 17, 2028, President Sunil Bakshi formally announced the government's intention to dissolve the Corporate Republic of Dunsteen and replace it with a new government "better reflecting Morranian identity"; within the ruling VVD party, the move to abandon the corporate republic was deeply contentious and indeed several key senators within the National Assembly threatened to resign in protest. Despite some internal VVD opposition, EuroCorp CEO Alisher Usmanov publicly supported the move and pledged to respect the drafting of a new constitution. On September 3, 2028, vice president Werner Reinheart presented a draft constitution to the National Assembly, beginning a several month long process of amendments and modifications to the draft document. With finance secretary Eris Assecla heading a new treasury commission, the Morranian economy began to significantly recover as the government injected billions of dollars worth of subsidies into businesses to keep them afloat; by October 2028, the deep recession in the Corporate Republic of Dunsteen had ended and confidence in the economy rose, boosted by the announcement of a new regime in the nation. On November 6, 2028, President Bakshi and Dunsteenian president Katharina Müller held a second public meeting in the city of Madrid, with both sides agreeing to an aid package for the C.R. Dunsteen, as well as the establishment of a framework for establishing formal diplomatic ties between the two states; Müller and Bakshi met again on December 11, 2028 in London as part of a peace conference hosted by UK prime minister Rishi Sunak.

Following the National Assembly's adoption of the revised constitution on December 20, 2028, President Sunil Bakshi formally passed an executive order to institutionalise and codify a host of new symbols, logos, flags and seals into law for the proclamation of the new regime to replace those of the Corporate Republic of Dunsteen. On January 1, 2029, Sunil Bakshi was succeeded as the head of the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) by Peter Illich. On February 2, 2029, the National Assembly was dismissed and dissolved after passing a law to allow members to continue their terms for an interim session of the new legislature. In the city of Amsterdam on February 20, 2029, President Sunil Bakshi formally proclaimed the creation of the Republic of Morra as a successor state to the Corporate Republic of Dunsteen by enacting the 2029 Moranian Constitution; with the implementation of the new constitution, Bakshi's formal title changed to that of President of Morra, with new restrictions and powers granted to the office. Similarly, the National Assembly of Morra was established as a successor to the former C.R. Dunsteen Assembly and retained the same members until the completion of the 2025-2030 congressional term. As part of the wide reaching constitutional reform, new elections for the National Assembly and presidency were scheduled to be held on January 2, 2030, whilst congressional leader Peter Illich was elected as the first ever Speaker of the National Assembly of Morra, becoming the de-facto prime minister.
