Fritz Wentzel declared himself the first President of the Hveden Federation on 13 November 2339 and would maintain control until the first elections under the new constitution implemented could take place on 30 May 2341. This first general election would elect a National Assembly, a chamber with 681 seats, roughly proportional to population. Whereas, the upper chamber, the State Assembly, would elect 1 senator per province. The president would be elected via STV. Fritz Wentzel ran for re-election, while just four parties would run. The Federalists, a new party based on republican ideals, would rival the incumbent Unitarians and National parties. The Libertarian Party would also run.
