	Beginning in June 2025, after nearly a year of inactivity from the reigning Emperor, Prime Minister Andrew Musgrave led an attempt to overthrow the entire government of Austenasia by seizing control of the official government website and declaring the "Commonwealth of Austenasia," headed by himself, to be the legitimate representative of the Austenasian people.		Beginning in June 2025, after nearly a year of inactivity from the reigning Emperor, Prime Minister Andrew Musgrave led an attempt to overthrow the entire government of Austenasia by seizing control of the official government website and declaring the "Commonwealth of Austenasia," headed by himself, to be the legitimate representative of the Austenasian people.

			Aggelos abdicated the throne on 30 September 2025.

			==Emperor Alexander VI==
			The official declaration of abdication by Emperor Aggelos, legislation was presented to Parliament to confirm the ascension to the Throne of the Heir, Crown Prince Shiro. The new Emperor first joined the Austenasian Armed Forces in 2017, and the following year was made Minister of Defence, becoming a non-residential subject of the Empire at a time when said status was rather uncommon.

			As head of state of Zenrax, Shiro oversaw increasingly close diplomatic relations with the Empire, also co-operating with Austenasia in the Grand Unified Micronational and via the Holy Roman Empire. In November 2023, the throne of Zenrax was recognised to hold the rank of Caesar. He has since served in various Cabinet roles (currently holding the office of Treasurer), and for two months last year was unofficially in place as Acting Deputy Prime Minister. Upon the ascension to the Throne of Aggelos I, the Senate named Shiro the next Heir.

			During June’s coup attempt, Crown Prince Shiro called for calm, urging all involved to abide by the law, and refused to claim the Throne by force when invited to do so by the former prime minister Musgrave, effectively defusing the coup attempt.

	In early September 2011, Act 155 was placed before Parliament to organise a referendum in which the population of the Empire would vote on whether to keep the original Constitution or to adopt one of two proposed replacement constitutions. The Austenasian Constitutional Referendum took place on 18 September, with the "Wrythian Constitution" recieving 86% of the votes and entering into force two days later. One consequence of the new Constitution was that Esmond III was removed completely from the office of Monarch, leaving Declan I as sole Emperor. In November, a General and a Local Election were called, which took place on 23 December 2011 and resulted in Crown Prince Jonathan being re-elected Prime Minister but losing his position as Representative of Wrythe to Princess Caroline.
