Premiership of Senninn
| |||||||||||||||||||||
This article provides a detailed account of the Premiership of Senninn.
Senninn's terms as the 8th, 9th, and 10th Prime Minister of the Aragon and the Kingdom of Spain began with his appointment as Prime Minister on 31 May 2025. Although the exact date on which his first administration effectively ended is unknown, by early July the government had become largely inactive, with Aragon being administered primarily by its senior officials. His term officially expired on 14 September. On 7 December of the same year, he was reappointed as the 9th Prime Minister. On 9 April 2026, he was appointed Prime Minister for a third time, becoming the 10th holder of the office. On 5 August of the same year, following a comprehensive reorganisation of the senior leadership under Fenriru1936, he automatically resigned from office. Following the unification of Spain on 9 August, he became the final Prime Minister of the Aragonese dynasty under the TA system.
Among the principal achievements of his first administration were the introduction of coats of arms for senior government officials and the commencement of free distribution of certain items to citizens. During his second term, his administration undertook major institutional reforms, including the promulgation of the Constitution of Aragon and the enactment of various laws.

Formation
First term
On 17 May 2025, applications opened for candidates seeking to participate in the upcoming prime ministerial election. The following day, Senninn founded the Restoration Party (Kōfukutō) and announced his candidacy under the slogan "Make Aragon prosperous again". As no other candidates had come forward by 31 May, his election unopposed was effectively assured. On the same day, he was appointed the 8th Prime Minister.
On 3 June, following this outcome, the prime ministerial election system was abolished and replaced with a system of appointment by the monarch.
Second term
The publication of A Study on Organizational Management prompted Senninn's return to office. On 7 December 2025, he was reappointed as the 9th Prime Minister.
Third term
Following discussions within the Cabinet, it was decided that Senninn would remain in office. His appointment as Prime Minister was formally announced at 17:50 on 9 April 2026.
Government
Cabinet
Following the beginning of his second term, the Senninn administration began working towards the establishment of a Cabinet Act. After day-long discussions and revisions with senior officials, the Act was promulgated and entered into force at 17:40 on 13 December 2025. This resulted in the establishment of the first formally codified Cabinet in Aragonese history. For the lists of ministers and other details, see First Senninn Cabinet and Second Senninn Cabinet.
Domestic affairs
Administrative reform
The principal challenges facing the Senninn administration, particularly from its second term onwards, were administrative reform and the recruitment of new players. As an increasing number of newcomers entered Aragonese politics during this period, a wide range of opinions emerged concerning the country's political and administrative structure.
The first major administrative reform was the drafting of a constitution. Based primarily on A Study on Organizational Management, the Constitution emphasised active players rather than registered population figures, the adaptation of political institutions to the number of active players, the establishment of clear succession procedures for ministerial positions, and the active appointment of newcomers to government offices. It marked the beginning of the Senninn administration's emphasis on the codification of institutions and procedures.
The subsequent enactment of the Cabinet Act led to the establishment of the Senninn Cabinet, the first Cabinet in Aragonese constitutional history. Government ministries were also reorganised, with several new ministerial positions being established in addition to the existing offices.
On 7 January 2026, discussions on the establishment of national objectives began, following a proposal by parliamentarian Itagaki Baraba, who argued that defining national objectives was essential to carrying out administrative reforms. However, no agreement was reached that day, and the discussions were temporarily suspended. On 10 January, Itagaki held a briefing on his proposed reform policies, followed by an overnight question-and-answer session. Discussions subsequently resumed, and on 20 January the objectives were formally announced as the Four Objectives.
On 12 January, the Constitution was amended to introduce Article 2, Paragraph 4.
On 15 January, discussions began concerning the division of the Ministry of the Interior.
On 19 January, the Era Name Act and the Decree Establishing the Era Name were promulgated, officially establishing Tenrei as the national era name.
On 25 January, the Expert Committee on Organisational Restructuring (commonly known as Shiwakeno) was formally established. The results of its first organisational review were announced on 30 January. On 21 January, the results of an additional consultation concerning the establishment of a Ministry of Publicity were announced. These developments prompted the resumption of discussions on the proposed division of the Ministry of the Interior, as well as the expansion and abolition of certain ministries.
On 3 February, discussions concerning citizenship were concluded, and Article 48 was added to the Constitution.
On 7 February, discussions on reforming the senior leadership system resumed, led primarily by Itagaki and Minister oisiimilk. The principal issue was the establishment of eligibility requirements, following an agreement that the senior leadership system should serve as an indicator of trustworthiness. On 15 February, it was decided that the system would function as an indicator of trust, and this principle was incorporated into Article 49 of the Constitution. A bill concerning the senior leadership system was submitted on the same day, but was temporarily withdrawn after discussions proved difficult.
A revised version of the Senior Leadership Bill was resubmitted on 8 March. Following further deliberations, its passage was confirmed on 15 March. During its enactment, Prime Minister Senninn stated:
I believe that EarthMC is merely one component of the Aragonese community. The Aragonese community consists of people with diverse interests, knowledge, and personalities. I will take responsibility for preventing a situation in which one component, EarthMC, threatens the survival and harmony of this wonderful community.
He further stated that his administration would respond flexibly to any adverse consequences arising from the Senior Leadership Act.
On 25 March, a simultaneous promotion of officials was carried out in accordance with the Act.
In April, concerns were raised that the provisions of the Senior Leadership Act were difficult to understand. The Cabinet was therefore convened, and on 12 April 2026 the Act was amended under the leadership of Minister of the Interior oisiimilk. The revision abolished the excessively detailed conditions while retaining clear and effective eligibility requirements.
On 3 May, the achievement of the administration's medium-term objectives was announced. On the same day, plans for the main street were also unveiled. On 12 May, a more detailed road design, including smaller streets and pathways, was published.
Recruitment and education of new players
From its second term onwards, the Senninn administration pursued recruitment policies based on A Study on Organizational Management. These efforts resulted in the recruitment of numerous new players. Within the Senninn Cabinet, responsibility for recruiting newcomers was assigned to the Ministry of the Interior.
On 15 December 2025, the Law on the Order of Merit for Population Recruitment was enacted. Under the law, the Order of Merit for Population Recruitment was to be awarded to individuals who made significant contributions to recruiting new players. However, as of January 2026, no one had received the distinction, and the system had effectively become nominal.
The administration had also advocated the establishment of a university as part of its efforts to educate new players. On 11 January, a survey was conducted to determine interest in attending or teaching at the proposed institution. On 23 January, a further survey was held to decide its name, with the Royal University of Zaragoza receiving 67 per cent of the votes.
On 25 January, parliamentarian Mikanmen argued that newcomers should first be welcomed through informal gatherings, casual conversations, and playing other games together, rather than immediately being subjected to formal education.
On the same day, Minister of the Interior anpansote- (oisiimilk) prepared and distributed an invitation manual for recruiting new players. However, following changes to the invitation system for Nostra, alternative recruitment methods were subsequently explored.
Construction campaign
On 17 May 2026, the administration announced the Construction Campaign, an initiative intended to encourage the construction of modern Spanish-style architecture. Under the programme, land claims were to be made available to applicants, with the aim of expanding tourist attractions, particularly in Madrid.
Sudaniki incident
Sudaniki was a player who joined Spain (during the Aragon period) on 1 January 2025. After spending time on other servers, he became active within Spain again in early June 2026. He particularly advocated a series of reforms known as the "Suda Reforms", which followed the Itagaki Reforms, and, while serving as a prospective senior official, considered measures to address the Kingdom's institutional problems. King UltraKosei recognised his initiative and granted him administrative permissions on Discord.
On 25 June 2026, Suda reportedly contacted Kosei, stating that he wished to reorganise the senior officials' channels. However, this account remains speculative, and the precise circumstances are unknown. Subsequently, several channels, including the senior officials' general discussion channel, were deleted.
The channel had been used for a considerable period and contained important historical information, including discussions involving former members and records that reflected the personalities of various members of the country. The deletion was particularly controversial because it had been carried out unilaterally, without prior consultation with officials of equivalent rank.
Following widespread demands from senior officials for accountability, Suda was placed under disciplinary suspension. The King subsequently revoked all of his rights relating to the administration of the server.
Abdication of the King
On 26 July 2026, King Kosei announced his abdication in a post to the general announcements channel entitled "Farewell 🖕 — Kosei Retires from the Throne — Next Episode: The New King Mochi. Our Journey Is Not Over Yet!!". He initially stated that he would transfer the throne to Mochi.
Following subsequent discussions, Fenriru1936, who had previously led Japan as Emperor, was selected as the new monarch. He acceded to the throne on 27 July, and his accession was officially announced to the public on 30 July.
King Fenriru subsequently announced the "New Madrid Plan" in a domestic announcement. The plan aimed to make Madrid the capital with the largest number of claimed chunks and the greatest population in the world (see below).
The Senninn Cabinet proceeded with discussions on a change of era name. The new era name, Eihō, which had been favoured by former King Kosei, was announced on 31 July. The new era began at midnight on 1 August.
Peacemaker incident
Following the abdication, Mochi, who had previously served as mayor of Cáceres, became the new King and was elected mayor of Madrid. Consequently, JP_PeaceMaker (MCID; commonly known as Peacemaker, although he used several usernames and was known as Wingman at the time of the incident) was selected as the new mayor of Cáceres.
Initially, Peacemaker demonstrated an active attitude towards the position, expressing an interest in construction and other projects. However, on 30 July, he suddenly stated that he had "contributed enough to this country" and wanted access to the sea, announcing his intention to move to Japan.
The unexpected announcement prompted former King Kosei and others to question him. Peacemaker subsequently made clear his intention to leave Spain. King Fenriru also indicated that he would not pursue the matter further. On 31 July, despite the continued strained relationship between Kosei and Peacemaker, the latter left the Spanish Discord server, bringing the immediate controversy to an end.
Foreign affairs
Japan
On 2 January 2026, Japan proposed that Aragon participate in the Nostra period as part of Japan. Aragon was consequently required to reach a decision before the beginning of the Nostra period. Initially, the administration postponed a final decision in order to prioritise discussions on national objectives and other domestic matters. On 7 January, the first discussion of the Four Objectives identified the resolution of diplomatic issues with Japan as a medium-term objective.
Discussions subsequently entered another period of suspension. However, following recommendations from Shiwakeno committee member Harumegu III and others, negotiations resumed in early February, and members of parliament gradually reached a consensus.
On 22 February, a Japan–Aragon summit was held. Japan was represented by Marshal Big Mac, while Aragon was represented by the King, the Prime Minister, Minister of the Interior oisiimilk, and Minister of Foreign Affairs katamuturi. At the request of Prime Minister Senninn, the meeting was brought forward by one hour and began at 21:00. Following a question-and-answer session, it concluded at 22:46.
After further consultations among senior officials, the King publicly announced at 21:02 on 1 March that Aragon would participate in the Nostra period as part of Japan.
On 12 April, the Prime Minister intended to participate, alongside the King and Minister of Foreign Affairs, in the final group photograph of the TA period in Japan. However, the King was unable to attend due to lag, the Foreign Minister departed early due to other commitments, and the Prime Minister left the gathering, expressing dissatisfaction with the security situation.
On 17 April, Japan recognised the Aragonese dynasty as the legitimate Spanish monarchy. The two parties also concluded a military alliance, further strengthening their bilateral relations.
New East Asian Federation
Ahead of the beginning of the Nostra period, Aragonese representatives participated in a meeting of senior officials of the New East Asian Federation on 25 March 2026, during which information concerning initial strategic plans was exchanged.
Spain
Relations with Spain remained hostile, as they had under previous Aragonese administrations. During the Senninn administration, Spain carried out two attacks against Aragon.
The first incident occurred on 11 March 2026, when Spain announced that the Spanish King and his retainers had taken away and killed a dog that had been inside Aragonese territory. However, several aspects of the allegation remained unclear, including whether such a dog had actually existed.
The second incident involved the Spanish King personally killing Japan's Grand Marshal Big Mac, an ally of Aragon. The Spanish side claimed to have obtained three enchanted diamond armour pieces, one pickaxe, and 26 gold ingots.
The Senninn administration adopted a policy of not responding to either incident. It also continued to regard Aragon as the sole legitimate Spanish monarchy.
When Senninn was selected as the 10th Prime Minister and began his third term, the Spanish King sent the internet meme image "Obama Awards Obama a Medal", depicting Barack Obama awarding a medal to himself.
On 19 April 2026, the TA Spanish dynasty, having raised the necessary funds ahead of Aragon, established its state and acquired the country name "Spain" on TNs. There were also suspicions that France had provided financial assistance behind the scenes.
The Senninn administration subsequently sought to raise funds of its own. During this process, the TA Spanish dynasty declared war on the TA Aragonese dynasty. Japan and the TA Aragonese dynasty subsequently declared war in response, marking the beginning of the Spanish Civil War.
The TA Aragonese dynasty also worked to secure funding and successfully established its state with financial assistance and loans from Ethiopia and Japanese players. Consequently, two rival Spanish dynasties existed simultaneously on the second day of Early Access.
The Spanish side subsequently proposed holding the "Aracnedix Summit" and unilaterally declared victory. The TA Aragonese dynasty, however, refused to recognise this declaration.
At 18:16 on 19 April, Prime Minister Senninn issued the Prime Minister's Statement on the War in Spain. In the statement, he criticised the Aracnedix side for resorting to a declaration of war without first offering a path towards a peaceful settlement. Quoting Winston Churchill, he declared that, however long and difficult the road ahead might be, his administration would not retreat and that victory remained its objective.
The following day, the Aracnedix side also issued a statement. It denied that the TA Spanish dynasty had initiated the declaration of war, arguing instead that Japan's declaration was motivated by economic interests and a conspiracy to eliminate sovereign European states, which it claimed had been repeatedly pursued in the past. It also rejected allegations that widespread racist remarks had been made within the TA Spanish dynasty, while claiming that Japan "despised Catholicism".
On 27 April, an armistice agreement was concluded, establishing a "United Spain" and providing a forum for discussions concerning the future relationship between the two states.
On 2 June, the Treaty of Guadalajara was signed, defining the territorial boundaries of the two parties.
Madrid Comunidad
The Madrid Comunidad (Madrid_Comunidad), constructed by kikabin, emerged as a territorial dispute around 22 May 2026. Although the settlement featured high-quality architecture, its proximity to Madrid and its name made a dispute increasingly likely. During the ensuing conflict, the Spanish side repeatedly mentioned kikabin on Discord.
On 21 June, following repeated negotiations with kikabin, Madrid Comunidad was peacefully incorporated into Madrid. The Spanish side also issued an official apology for its conduct during the dispute and expressed gratitude for kikabin's previous contributions.
Ethiopia
On 4 May, Ethiopian Emperor SlipperySalmon14 visited Spain, where a summit was held at Hakubuntei. Subsequently, the Spain-Ethiopia Treaty of Peace and Amity was concluded, establishing diplomatic relations between the two states. The agreement also provided for the development of peaceful relations, mutual respect for sovereignty, and the future establishment of embassies and cultural exchanges.
Sicily
On 14 May, the Spain–Sicily Treaty of Friendship and Non-Aggression was concluded with Sicily.
Sakha Republic
On 17 May, the Spain–Sakha Treaty of Friendship was concluded with the Sakha Republic.
United Kingdom
On 19 May, the Spain–United Kingdom Treaty of Friendship was concluded with the United Kingdom.
Mauritania
On 22 May, the Treaty of Madrid was concluded with Mauritania.
The treaty was renewed on 1 August.
Brazil
On 26 May, the Spain–Brazil Alliance was concluded with Brazil.
Ukraine
On 31 July, the Spain–Ukraine Treaty of Friendship was concluded with Ukraine.
Hungary
On 31 July, the Spain–Hungary Treaty of Friendship was concluded with Hungary.
Yugoslavia
On 1 August, the Spain–Yugoslavia Treaty of Alliance was concluded with the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.
Sweden
On 1 August, the Sweden–Spain Alliance was concluded with Sweden.
ROC
On 11 June, the Senninn administration issued a statement condemning the ROC for its continued attacks against Taiwan, an ally of Spain.
Yamato
On 11 June, the administration issued a statement condemning Yamato for its continued attacks against Taiwan, an ally of Spain.
PRC
On 11 June, the administration issued a statement condemning the PRC, accusing it of supporting the actions of the ROC and Yamato.
European Union
On 29 April, Aragon joined the European Union (EU) during the Nostra period.
Religion
Buddhism
Buddhism experienced significant growth during the Senninn administration. The administration recognised Jikō Daishi of the Kashō sect as a spiritual authority. King Mikel II became an ajari and adopted the Buddhist name Jiun, subsequently founding the Mitsugon sect.
On 11 April 2026, Mikel II declared:
"King Mikel II of Aragon hereby declares his devotion to and protection of the Buddhist Dharma. We shall transmit these sacred teachings, establish a Great Buddha and a branch temple of Kinrin-ji within the country, and lay the foundations for the peace of all sentient beings and the protection of the state."
On the same day, Prime Minister Senninn celebrated the completion of the Great Buddha and its principal Buddhist image, and visited Mitsugon-in to pay his respects.
Honours
Orders and decorations
On 15 December 2025, the Law on the Order of Merit for Population Recruitment was enacted, establishing the Order of Merit for Population Recruitment, which was intended to recognise individuals who had made significant contributions to recruiting new players. However, as of January 2026, no recipients had been recorded, and the system had effectively become nominal.
On 30 April 2026, the honours system was reorganised, and several new orders were established:
- Order of Charles III – awarded for inviting 80 players or donating 800 G.
- Order of Isabella the Catholic – awarded for significant contributions to Spain's international friendships and cooperative relations.
- Order of the Military Order of Alcántara – awarded for capturing two or more towns during wartime.

On 22 May 2026, the Royal Military Order of Saint Ferdinand was established to honour individuals who had fulfilled their duties with exceptional courage and loyalty in thought and action.
