The Parliament in Hokoria has rejected a proposal by the Kora, Willow I which would have seen the nation be dissolved, with the two territories becoming part of the Kingdom of Vistaria.
Proposed by Willow I on September 27, 2026, the Hokorian State Dissolution and Transition Act, 2026 received the support of just two Hokorian MPs.

The end of Hokoria
The Bill would have seen Hokoria be dissolved with its territories becoming part of Vistaria. Dama and Serenia would have been split, with Christopher Slant MP continuing as Governor of Serenia.
The Hokorian Parliament and Government would have remained in place until the next scheduled election on November 26, 2026, with MPs deciding what the devolved governments of Dama and Serenia would look like.
A struggling nation
The Kora has been balancing the need to focus on Hokoria as a nation and Hokoria as a community for over a year. With responsibilities in Vistaria and Lorc’h too, much of Hokoria’s day-to-day governance has continued to fall on them.
Explaining the proposal, Willow I said Vistaria’s structure would make it easier to manage multiple nations while leaving more responsibility to elected governments. They said they hoped this could result in “more stuff happening”, while ensuring governance could continue if an elected government became inactive.
This has been a recurring problem for Hokoria, with several MPs resigning or becoming inactive and relatively little legislation coming from Parliament. In the last week, the first two Bills not written by Willow I were proposed by Viduna Galewelage MP.
The Kora argued that joining Vistaria could allow Dama and Serenia to retain elected governments without relying on them to keep the wider state functioning.
Why did MPs reject it?
There was actually very little opposition during the debate. Prime Minister Asa Ward supported the proposal, while Galewelage questioned why the change was needed and what would happen to the Government after the next election.
After abstaining, Galewelage explained privately that he did not believe he had properly understood the proposal or its significance enough to vote either way. Hopkinson, who voted against the Bill, simply said: “I don’t understand why we would need to dissolve Hokoria.”
The Kora has asked MPs who did not support the proposal for feedback and said they will “continue to work on it”, suggesting the idea may return in some form.
Hokoria lives on another day………..
