Felix D'laminet as Prime Minister didn't have much direct experience running the country, so he wanted to get as much talent as he could to run the government. Furthermore, he was aware that the country needed stability as well as the Populist movement. He needed to include all branches of the populist ideology to appease everybody - including the violent [[Alarkist movement|Alarkist]] movement. One of D'laminet's key objectives was to modernise the state and finally finish the industrialisation process. But, he was still worried about the new faction of [[Frankist movement|Frankists]] which had congregated and wished to restore the monarchy to power under the previous monarch, James VII. Many nobles and monarchists ''had'' fled to neighbouring countries though and D'laminet wished to put the violent Alarkists into a department that could handle any insurgency attempt. Therefore, one of the first departments that the Prime Minister created was the [[Department of War and Civil Obedience (Empherias)|Department of War and Civil Obedience]]. He then appointed Henry Alark as it's [[Minister of War and Civil Obedience (Empherias)|Minister]], and appointed many of his allies to key posts as parliamentary undersecretaries to the department, heads of the civil service, or into the [[Armed Forces of Empherias]].

The Election Procedure Act 2402 set the rules of elections. Parliament would be set at a stable 600 MPs to be elected proportionally to population nationwide. It would also expand the ability to vote to a universal franchise of any person of any background over 18 years of age with Empheri citizenship. However, this did exclude skaven peoples (a very tiny minority) who had their own distinct communities and were not eligible for Empheri citizenship. The Immigration Citizenship Act 2402 did make it easier for immigrants to get a type of Empheri citizenship by only requiring a permanent habitation visa for at least two years and spending all but six weeks a year in Empherias. It also required at least eighty percent of assets to be held in Empherias although this was rarely policed as many lacked documentation to prove it. It would also require having a job in Empherias although this was also rarely policed and some immigration officers didn't even include the question. The Parliament Term Act 2402 would make sure elections must take place a maximum of 2000 days (5 and a half years approximately) after a previous general election. The Prime Minister, or a simple majority of parliament, could trigger a general election early at any date giving a mandatory 6 week campaign period.

This president was the Empheri Chief Adviser to the Prime Minister Harry Redworks. Despite being Empheri, he had studied in the country and was a pseudo-celebrity before his time in politics and became popular with the Norsairi elite. In June 2415, Leaked documents from March 2415 show Redworks and Watford communicating on the time to annex Norsair into Empherias, were released. Redworks discredited these leaks and doubled back stating that Norsair would not unite with Empherias for the foreseeable future. In an act that was maybe orchestrated by the Empheri government, an assassination attempt was made against Redworks in July 2415, amputating his right arm and scarring his whole body. He thus resigned, seeking treatment on 8 July 2415. The new president installed was also Empheri, a Populist MP Peter Tevelwas, who agreed to the annexation. The annexation law passed in the Empheri government on 16 October 2415.
