It has come to my attention that Constantine Ksanthopoulos (Cecil XIX) is not in fact a rebel. He is simply subverting Imperial authority and proclaiming himself to be the ruler of all of us in the traditional, legal, fashion. As such, a proper vote is in order to determine whether the Empire wishes to be governed by a man who led us into bankruptcy, or whether it wants to be governed by a false Basileus who had nothing to do with the current financial crisis.
