History

Auzance democratised rapidly in the 1970s, seeing the ratification of its Constitution at the end of 1971. Ritchåd Cougnî sought his election to the new head of state position afforded by it, which became known as the Premier; he had previously served as Prime Minister. Initially serving what would be a five-year term, Cougnî set a precedent to serve for six years per term, while a constitutional amendment in 1991 set a term limit of twelve years, or two full terms, for the role.
