On the 12th of May 1898, Haphvaard Prime Minister Camilla Galek'' met with several officials from both sides of the almost non-existent borders and put a proposal forward for a merge between the nations. A famous extract from this proposal is "We share a city, we share our goods. We share a goal, we share a spirit. We share a dream. A dream to thrive in our growing civilisation. So, why don't we share a nation? A nation that together, can be above all!"

That same evening, the officials called a referendum.

The results were counted from the 20th to the 25th of May, with the merge vote for.
