After public thanks from Giuseppe Brosco, displayed on a news message on the official website, the State Captains added that his successor, with effect from 17 October 2016, will be Mr. Vittorio Fiore, a citizen of the Tower City State, born in Italy.

After about a quarter hour, the Corps of Gendarmerie announced that they arrested Deborah Liotti, Secretary of Employment and Citizenship, and Samantha Dollena, Secretary of Heritage and Tourism.
The State Captain Fabrizio I said that they have been removed, with immediate effect, from their governative positions and have withdrawn their citizenships.

Creation of the title "Eternal Captain of State"
On 22 October 2016 the Tower City State announced that the draft law prepared by the State Captain Fabrizio I was accepted by the Light Blue Commission in the same day.
The law establishes the title of Eternal Captain, to be assigned to the memory of Pasquale I, loved maternal uncle of Fabrizio I and also national patron, passed away last December.
He becomes de jure the head of State of the Tower City State, although in fact the State Captains remain joint heads of State de facto.
Basically the Tower City State becomes the only one Country in the world, together with North Korea, that is ruled de jure by a deceased person (this is called necrocracy).
Nevertheless, as mentioned above, the State remains an elective constitutional monarchy under diarchy between the two State Captains of opposite sex gender, that continue to perform their duties of heads of State as before.
