Introduction and background of the current regime:
After struggling for nearly a quarter century under a corrupt military dictatorship the people of Caselonia rose up, united by their dynamic leader Eamon 'Che' McGinnis.
Eamon McGinnis was long active in the Socialist Party of Caselonia before the military junta outlawed political parties and McGinnis was subsequently jailed. After making his daring escape with the aid of some prison guards who were taken in by McGinnis' glowing speeches about the glories of Socialism and how it could improve their lives, the guerrilla war was taken to the streets and forests of Caselonia.

After nearly three years of hard fighting, the Caselonia Liberation Front, of which McGinnis had become Commander, took the capital city of Gotha. In a fierce firefight lasting nearly 12 hours, the Presidential Palace was stormed and the Council of Generals that had once ruled Caselonia, along with their loyal bodyguards, were killed in the ensuing battle.

On 3 November 2003, Eamon 'Che' McGinnis (as he had come to be known during the war after someone remarked about the similarities between the struggles of Caselonians and Cubans) ascended to the office of President and renamed the nation The People's Republic of Caselonia.
Shortly after taking power, political parties and elections were outlawed. With the fledgling nation as vulnerable as it was, political dissent could not be allowed to divide the people and take their mind from the reason the war was fought: Social Justice and National Identity for the Caselonian people, reflected by the nation's current national motto ("Social Justice and National Identity!). Through McGinnis' efforts, the economy has recovered from 'Fragile' to 'Developing' according to UN economic experts. Once the nation is secure and the threats of imperialism, subjugation and manipulation of the people by Capitalists has passed, political freedoms will be restored and the people of Caselonia can govern themselves as they see fit.

President

President Eamon 'Che' McGinnis took the seat of Caselonian Supreme Authority at the age of 34 after a bloody three year guerrilla conflict with the previous military regime. An ardent Socialist, his personal motto is "Live and let live, but let all live comfortably!" Currently, President McGinnis is the sole Executive power in the nation, at least until things have become stable and the economy is thriving.

Minister of Defense
http://www.rebelradio.net/caselonia/hajo.jpg
Hans-Joachim Köhler was a General in the Caselonian Defense Force throughout most of the Military Dictatorship. After witnessing President McGinnis' speak as a young man in several Socialist Party rallies, he became swayed to the cause, eventually 'defecting' to the guerrillas. His military and organizational experience was absolutely invaluable in swinging the tides of war in the favor of the CLF and he was subsequently awarded the Ministry of Defense leadership. He currently manages Caselonia's rapidly growing regular army of 80,000 men, now known as the Caselonian Peoples' Army.

Minister of Economic Affairs
http://www.rebelradio.net/caselonia/hasso.jpg
Hasso von Keldermann, a long-standing Socialist and University economics professor, was instrumental in securing donations from nations and affluent individuals sympathetic to the CLF's cause during the guerrilla war. His genius in assuring a steady flow of international funds to the guerrillas' aid made him a natural candidate for the position and he has taken Caselonia's economy from being listed as 'Fragile' to 'Very Strong' by the UN Council in record time.

Minister of the Interior
http://www.rebelradio.net/caselonia/connery.jpg
Sean O'Brien, formerly a career police officer in the military regime, often aided CLF guerrillas during the war, smuggling them into urban areas, through government checkpoints and out of holding areas and remote prisons through his judicious use of his personal connections, the use of his subordinates (the sympathetic ones) to further the cause, and his ruthless suppression of elements that would've compromised the effort during the war. These natural skills made him a fine choice for Minister of the Interior and he and his office currently work to round up dissidents, expose treasonous and seditious cells operating to undermine the popular revolution, and generally suppress criminal behavior in the nation. The Ministry of the Interior is responsible for the National Police Force which handles both criminal and politically criminal acts, as well as Caselonia's court system.

Bump for viewing and critique/discussion.

Erik von Blätterschplitt, the Imperätor of Edolia has announced that the People's Republic of Caselonia is formally under the protection of the Impërium Socialistum Edoliä. Any attacks against our friends will be considered an attack upon the Impërium.

At the same time, Karlen von Shëhenburg, acting President of Marxist International, a charity and paramilitary organization based in Edolia has announced that with the permission of the Caselonian government, Marxist International will begin working on the construction of schools, libraries, museums and other educational program within Caselonia in an attempt to better the lives of the people.

The people of Caselonia welcome the gracious help of Marxist International and the extension of friendship from Edolia! Education was made the Number One priority in the budget sessions recently held in the PRC Politburo, and any help in construction, organization and administration of our new schools and institutes of higher learning is certainly welcomed.

The benevolent Eamon 'Che' McGinnis would also like to speak privately with Karlen von Shëhenburg about joining Marxist International and becoming a contributing member.

The call is out to all nations supporting the glory of Socialism: The People's Republic of Caselonia welcomes any and all aid in taking a firm footing in The East Pacific region and welcomes support in the form of military arms, vehicles and supplies, educational supplies, construction equipment, trade contracts (our potato gnomes are delicious) and diplomatic relations.

We will wire $2 billion towards reconstruction costs. It is a gift, we know it is small but we don't have much money right now what with all of our educational and health care programs.

A message from President McGinnis:

"Every dollar given toward improving the welfare of the people of Caselonia is a dollar graciously accepted. We only hope we are able to repay the gift some day. Thank you!"

Marxist International is not an alliance, just a charity organization. However, we do receive donations from a number of different soclialist (and even some non-socialist) nations.

<<OOC: I created Marxist International as a RP tool since Edolia is getting so big. If I go to war with a nation over economic/social ideology, it's far too easy for Edolia to just smash them. Thus, I created Marxist International and the International Army of Marx (the paramilitary organization connected to MI) and decided that Edolia will stop supporting Communist rebels. With all the donations, MI has a good $15 billion coming in each year with another $30 billion endowment.>>

"*KGGGK* Greetings comrades! We would donate something if our economy wasn't crappy! Oh by the way can we recieve a Marxist International membership card? *KGGGK*"

To: The Delegation from Kratzia

There are a number of organizations devoted to helping new, developing nations get onto their feet and reach stability. Besides Marxist International there is currently a Third World Solidarity Conference being held in Tana Burung. You may want to consider attendance.

Upon reaching economic stability, donations to Marxist International will most likely become part of the annual budget. Again, we thank you for your support, Edolia, both militarily and economically.

Third World Solidarity Conference Update:

Proceedings are, of course, being held up by objections to the CACE Economic Bridge Treaty by capitalist nations. Always thinking of money, never thinking of the furtherance of mankind.

More posted when things get pushed through.

We note with some satisfaction that the People's Republic of Caselonia meets the neccesary requirements of the Coalition of Anti-Capitalist Economies.

Therefore we extend an invitation to the People's Republic of Caselonia to visit the CACE HQ, and strongly encourage the People's Republic to consider applying to the Coalition.
