Election of Colonial Governors of Upper and Lower Bigtopia

22-11-2003, 00:45
As part of the step of ensuring safety and democracy to both Upper and Lower Bigtopia, we will be holding elections with the foreign community for their colonial governor. Remember, if the countries prosper and have peace, Nanakaland will leave them and get colonies elsewhere. (Names alphabetized by last name.)

Robert Billion
He wishes to establish corporation-run nations out of both Upper and Lower Bigtopia. He would focus most attention on the economy.

Yuri Blastov
He would increase military, make the nations communist, and create a space progam. He would also unite them. Seen as a well-rounded choice, but democracy would not be his concern.

King (former) Gregory IV
He was once king of Lower Bigtopia. He would take back his Lower Bigtopian throne, restablish the Lower Bigtopian constitution, and help his northern neighbors establish a democracy. Seen as a good choice.

Bob Smith
A random guy off the street, he would probably lead the nations into chaos and n00bish warmongering. That would probably lead the nations into a revolution. The former United Bigtopian Freedom Fighters, who are opportunists, would then take over and establish democracies in both Upper and Lower Bigtopia. Bob Smith is seen as a poor choice.

Elections will end in one week realtime in which the governor will be established.

The government of the Protectorate of the Planetian Empire endorses Gregory IV. Constitutional monarchy is a solid government structure, and the choice will allow both Lower and Upper Bigtopia to gain a sense of national identity by providing it with a convenient focal point, while maintaining the peoples' freedoms.

The Resurrected Lands of Nanakaland has 811 million people. I guess you haven taken into account that a mod resurrected me and my nation was originally created on March 26. I have a far advanced nuclear program and would nuke you, but you are just a n00b so:

I IGNORE JIMI JO BOB!

ALSO, MODALERT!

YOU CAN'T CONTROL THE OPPONENT (by saying you take control without any roleplaying).

YOU ARE A WARMONGERING N00B!

Great. Now I'm out of breath.

Also, if you persist, my 20 destroyers, 10 battleships, 50 helicopters, 75 bombers, and 63 fighters will destroy your puny fleet. I'll also launch 4 ICBMs on your major cities.
22-11-2003, 01:12
Nevermind. I overreacted. I'll just prove to you that I was once a GDODAD friendly nation and that I have been resurrected.

Hmm... interesting choices. We favor a capitalist structure of the economy, though we too are a consititutional monarchy too. Thus, we cannot endorse any candidate.

Good day.

He said "will", not that he did. It's just rhetoric.


Anyway, The Society of Shildonian Students has had a quick whip round, and has decided to donate the money to Bob Smiths campaign, just for the laughs and giggles that would ensue if he wins.
The grand total raised came to £20,000. A small group of 20 students have set off to Bigtopia to deliver a cheque to Mr Smiths campaign offices, and to assist in Mr Smiths campaign.

We will support King Gregory...for a price.

In exchange for a vote as well as force to back him up in any further conflict, we want the river valley we had seized as well as the harbor, port and city of Port St. William in Lower Bigtopia.

Port St. William is a wreck, between Holy Mercenaires fleeing, Falcon Brigade Attacks and my blasting anything still standing as I fled the country the place is a shambles.

We will cheerfully back King Gregory for this minor concession (we only got 10 miles of river valley, Berv's Island a half mile offshore and a 2 mile perimeter around Port St. William, and that is all we want).

Surely a return to stability and peace in this troubled region is worth the price.

Under the surrender conditions, every nation that attacked the Bitopians, including you and me, get to remotely manage Upper and Lower Bigtopia. This is just elections for their leaders done by me, an exercise of my power. You also get to govern Upper and Lower Bigtopia jointly with me until I release them (I'll release them if they are fit to self-govern). You have just as much right to enforce these governor elections as me. You may have those lands until the nations are fit for self-government and eventual independance.

[ENCRYPED MESSAGE]P.S. I say I will release them when they are stable, but if Bob Smith gets elected, the colonies will fall into ruin and they will never be freed. If Bob Smith gets elected, I will say that the colonies are not fit for self government and you get 50% of Lower Bigtopia. Think of the wealth the colonies could bring. [/ENCRIPTED MESSAGE]

The USSL has surprisingly decided to support the former King as a choice. As a general rule, the USSL has not supported monarchies, but in this case, the King is the only candidate who can offer solid reform whilst keeping the two regions stable. He is also seen as the only one that is interested in the wealth of both Upper and Lower Bigtopia.

I, President Adrian Weston, hereby do vote for his royal Highness, King Gregory IV, in order to establish a more stable Bigtopia, to ensure the perseverance of Bigtopia, and finally to ensure a sane leader that cares is in place.

The immaturity of the international community is clearly appaling. Crown Prince Gregory IV is clearly the best candidate, and can provide for a stable, somewhat democratic, Bigtopia. He can offer security and strength to the Bigtopian community, and it is an utmost dishonor to the people of Bigtopia that the international community wishes to plague them with a maniac.

We are truly insulted at the lack of comprehension that all nations have, and the blatant idiocy of some that clearly want bloodshed.

The Turanic Empire has voted for Yuri Blastov. we see him as the only true choice. he seems in our eye's to be the only true capable leader in your entire country. also he will clearly eliminate all others running for office and rule himself. so we see voting here pointless. but we thought we would at lest show his enemys that Yuri has much support from his comrades.

We would have voted for good ol' Yuri Blastov, but we instead voted for Bob Smith, the random guy off the street, just for laughs. After all, there is only two more days for this poll and it is nearly neck and neck between Gregory IV and Bob Smith.
26-11-2003, 16:51
Bob Smith and Gregory IV are neck and neck. They are tied for the lead. If the poll ends with this same tie, Bob Smith will rule Upper Bigtopia and Gregory IV gets Lower Bigtopia. Just two more real-time days.

we swing our support for Gregory IV , We would like to see him win in a few days time.

The Shildonian Government congratulates Bob Smith on his election victory, and hopes that he will be able to succesfully unify his divided country. We hope that all parties involved in the election will accept the will of the people and allow Mr Smith to carry out his job.
06-12-2003, 20:22
Bob Smith ran from the firing of the bullets and resigned from his job. It is almost certain that Upper and Lower Bigtopia are in a state of anarchy.
