For those not familiar with the system, a new republic just means a rewriting of the constitution. Which isn't considered to be a sacred text, just a set of laws that have to be updated every now and then.

Right now, there is some ongoing debate regarding the fifth constitution (and therefore republic), with a number of people thinking that it might be a good idea to start a new one from scratch as the current one puts too much focus on the role of the president.
