Imperial Election

Reichskamphen

The Imperial family of Greater Prussia, the Leipzig-Thompson family, gathered in Reichsburg, the Capitol. All over the city, UVF units were helping to rebuild the sections rubbled by the Catholic Pax Maria units that were fighting for the former Emperor, Andre-Allistaire Leipzig.

He had promised to be one of the greatest Emperor's in history until he went completely mad. Imperial Gendarmes were now examining the palace records to determine the actual events that transpired.

Now, however, a new head of state was needed. Each member of the Imperial family was allowed to cast one vote for the candidate they thought best to rule the Empire. This election process was being done because the rule of the former Emperor was considered illegitimate and there was no successor appointed.

Limousines paraded through the streets as the nobles of the Empire arrived from their various palaces and provinces and made their pilgrimage down the Via Victoria to the Imperial Palace.

For the first time in history, every member of the Empire was allowed to send one representative and cast a vote as well.

The candidates for Emperor were:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Napoleon Francois Charles de Sanglant
King of Allanea, Arch Duke of Sanglant and Southern Scotta

He is a relatively new face on the scene. Performed a flawless occupation and then restoration of Allanea. He is seen as the rising star in the Imperial Family. The only candidate to have any kind of blood related claim to the crown. Young, but a military, financial, and organizational genius.

Dietrich von Oberhausen
Arch Chancellor of Reichskamphen, Imperial Foreign Minister, Voice of the Crown, Arch Duke of Oberhausen and Northern Reichskamphen.

Oberhausen has been a lead figure in politics for the last 50 years and for the last 15 years has been arguably the most influential and effective man in the entire Empire. Has held essentially every postion that can be held. Great base of public support.

Guillaume Richarde Lefebvre de Centreville
Duke of Centreville and Western Scotta, Captain of the Imperial Guard

Also a newer face on the scene. He has commanded the Imperial Guard superbly, making himself a hero of the UVF revolution against the Roman Catholic former Emperor. Like von Oberhausen, the public know and love him.
