CANDIDATES

IVER REITAN
[img]http://www.semarang.nl/mensen-jpg/9.jpg

"It is time for Prespolis to return to order."

Bio:
Former Dictator of Prespolis, deposed after a military coup following a military stand off with Rotovia and "The Allies" which was largely blamed upon Reitan. Reitan wishes to restore his political hold on the nation, which is still strong due to the fact that many of his top advisors still run key position in the government. Reitan believes in a small, but deadly military force, little if any social programs, and says he will slash taxes upon reassuming control of the nation. Reitan also suggests Prespolis join the AZN Alliance.


GENERAL PERVEZ TAGENT
[img]http://www.myimgs.com/data/Prespolis/9902161b.jpg

"We can make Prespolis strong, safe, and secure."

Bio:
Gen. Tagent gained wide notoriety for his nomination to head the Central Command Zone during the near war with Rotovia. After the conflict ended with a peace deal in Tra Li, Gen. Tagent used his fame to launch a coup while Prespolin Leader Iver Reitan was away. He gained support in his criticisms of Reitans regime from student groups, farmers, and a group of junior Army Officers. Gen. Tagent currently heads up the "Prespolin High Command", a group set up during the Rotovian Crisis, and currently leading the government. Tagent believes the group is best suited for the role of ruling the nation. He is a firm believer in democratic thinking, and hopes to begin local election of representatives throughout the nation. He pledges to give aide to poor farmers, increase the Education and Defense budgets, and set Prespolis on the way to having a ready defense against foreign aggression, which shall include alliances and weapons systems, though he promises to remain true to the Peace Accord with Rotovia.

CHARLES VERDI
[img]http://www.myimgs.com/data/Prespolis/dail2.jpg

"By creating international partnerships and alliances we can avoid war and defend freedom."

Bio:
Verdi was the first member of the old regime to join the opposition, and it is rumored he was in talks with Gen. Tagents faction long before he made his announced break-away from the Reitan Regime where he served as Minister of Foreign Relations. He is largely credited with crafting the peace at Tra Li, and steering the Reitan Government away from war. He hopes to create a network of alliances rather than a military defense in order to deal with future threats to Prespolis. He says that Education along with Scientific Research and Development Programs are most important for Prespolis today, and he envisions a future Prespolis as a major manufacturer of goods for the international Market.

ALICE RUBINSKI
[img]http://www.angelfire.com/rnb/mun2001pic/Communist.JPG

"Prespolis has the chance to break free and join with its Working Brothers!"

Bio:
Rubinski is some what of a strange candidate in that she is the only Communist and only candidate not in someway affiliated with the old regime. Under Reitan Communism was simply seen as joke, but due to further and further involvement with the international community a small but growing group of Communists, based mostly in the far northern border regions of Prespolis, have begun voicing their opinions. Many viewed allowing her to run as dangerous, but she played a critical role in securing support for Gen. Tagents Coup amongst the Frontiers People. She plans on moving Prespolis to a communist friendly region, and developing ties to other revolutionaries and the "globa" communist movement. Though her goal is the complete conversion of Prespolis to the ideal of a communist nation, she will be hard pressed to convince an overwhelmingly anti-Communist public, and strongly influential Private Sector.

We would like to pledge a futher $500 Million to Alice Rubinski's campaign

Prespolin News Services:

In a remarkable turn of events communist candidate Alice Rubinski hs been leading the polls in the Prespolin Election. Due to international support this out-of-nowhere candidate has managed to lead an effective campaign and has secured many international endorsments. Appearing today at a campaign stop she answered a few questions from reporters.

http://www.angelfire.com/rnb/mun2001pic/charlie.JPG

Ask why she feels Prespolis must move toward a communist economy, she said:

"The people of the northern regions have long lived with the ideals of communism closely at heart, with the Reitan Regime gone and an opportunity to express our unique views to the nation, I feel that a completely new direction would most benefit our country. The capitalists may worry for a while, but I am sure that our communist brothers and sisters will not let us down. Communism is on the way in, not out."

With the election still on going many claim Rubinski's early lead is merely due to chance and early voting within her region of the nation. We will bring you more on this as it develops.

***OOC***

Somehow the poll got deleted :x ... anyone know how to fix it? I'll try just restarting it, but I'll keep in mind the current totals:

Iver Reitan - 4
Gen. Tagent - 4
Charles Verdi - 2
Alice Rubinski - 11

The nation of Kaukolastan proposes that the democratic forces join together to oppose the Communist threat from overtaking another nation. Prespolis has just freed itself from a dictator, why submit to another one? We strongly urge Tagent and Verdi (already tied together) to ally, and offer our support to both, although we will focus on whichever shows more promise of victory closer to the election, all to oppose the Communist threat.

The Government of New Alameda strongly opposes the candidacy of Alice Rubinski, and also askes that Verdi and Tagent join forces to stop communism from infecting yet another nation.

Nigel Catalina

Appearing moments ago in a TV add for his campaign, Charles Verdi explained why he will not do as many have suggested and drop out of the election in order to help Gen. Tagent win.

"I have made a commitment to a vision of the nation which I will hold true with until the final vote is cast. Though I may share some of my views with other candidates, I am the only candidate who is comied to peace, and to the de-militarization of Prespolis. I believe in democracy, and believe the people shall make the right decision"

We give our full support to the candidate Iver Reitan who is the true leader of the nation and who had a exil gouverment in our grounds when the mid class made a simple revolt and later declered election (wich is a dumb thing to have, evrybody knows the masses isn't smart enought to lead a country, there for a democratical country will always fall in econmy!)
We also hope that all the three other candidates will understand that our troops in their country (stationed at only one base prepearing for departure, as one of the ships got larger problems wich must be soloved befor departure) and that they will give ous the time we need to get these soliders out of the land.
We offer 3.000.000 to the champain of IVer Reitan.

OOC: Prespolis, i'd like to talk to you about doing some kind of RP around the building of our embassies.

{OOC: i think that most of the former champaing aids has been unrealistic, i mean, okey Sovjet China and Edenstein is socilistic (i dont dare to say communist cause i haven't yet made a deep check in their nation wich means i cant be sure cause i have pretty good limits on communism) and they probaly lays of some millions for aid to diffrent countrys, but such aids usually put onto special things like the social welfare, areas hit by disasters and civillians damaged by war and not to champaings this means that most of the money shouldnt go to this champaing and the parts that do go to election champaings in diffrent countrys should still be kept low as they have weak economy and high taxes meaning that most of the money must go to the hospitals, buildings, work and other social welfare parts in the country itself, so i bet that Sovjet China don't actually have that much money to put away on this champaing.....}
IC: We will aid Iver Reitan with an other 13 million and a few already paid champaing workers who are making ready to departure by plane over to Prespolis capital city.

**OOC**

The problem was fixed and voting continues, the old totals will be counted and were posted above.

OOC: Not to start a fight or anything, but if you read my initial post on the matter, It was the workers party of Edenstein.... the post may of been under Edenstein but the donation (which if you have an entire national party donating too isn't all that much) came from the workers party of Edenstein, as long as Prespolis would have no laws limiting the amount that one party can donate to a candidate or to a campaign then their is no problem with the donation. Also, Edenstein banned elections a LONG time ago, its to messy and hectic of a process.... so unless Prespolis has a problem with the amount donated, I'll let it stand and continue the rp, if he/she does, then I will edit the post and lower the total amount...

OOC: I absolutley didn't want to start a fight i was just thinking that it was pretty high even if you have only one party, in Kelsh we have abonded elections long ago and dosen't have any real party but we have a large bureaucracy mush called "the gouverment" wich is said to be led by the Gouverment Admistration wich contains 20 persons (of wich 3 is war related) but it is actually more or less ruled by atleast a million desk workers.
Any way i hope you didnt take any offend of it i was just commenting that you had put in alot of money on it and Sovjet China has put in even more and is smaller then you. anyway lets see where this esculates. In the roleplay i dont know what i wanna see, it could be pretty fun to find a few houndred of my fascist troops located in a base in a country wich has just recived a communist leader :)

FROM THE NATION OF KELSH

Prespolian News Flash:

Moments ago former Leader of Prespolis, Iver Reitan, made a speech to supporters in Kelsh affirming his desire to return to power and ending speculation that his attempts were half-hearted.

http://web2.iadfw.net/scsr/speech.116.jpg

"I would like to make it clear that Prespolis is currently run by an un-lawful group, that has illegitimately taken power. And now that same group runs the risk of foolishly giving control of the nation to the hands of the communists, a fringe and radical group whose only hope chance at coming to power is to put forth a female candidate who's abilities are doubtful and whose credentials are none. This can not stand, and with your help, it will not stand."

Reitan has gained amazing popularity from the Kelsh people, whose government granted Reitan a place of exile and allowed him to set up a government-in-exile. His campaign, run mostly from the nation of Kelsh, with an unofficial headquarters in the Prespolian city of Dolahra, was shaky at first, but after a jump in the polls, he has seen a surge of polularity due to the possiblity of communist rule.

Prespolian News Flash

Lastest poll numbers:

Iver Reitan: 7
Gen. Tagent: 6
Charles Verdi: 7
Alice Rubinski: 13

**OOC***

These are different from the current thread poll since it was accidently erased. Just in case you were wondering here were the original numbers:

Iver Reitan: 4
Gen. Tagent: 4
Charles Verdi: 2
Alice Rubinski: 11

Kelsh has about 100-250 agents in the land we can not give out exact figures even to you, the agents has diffrent missions but most is trying to convince your people to vote on you. The military squad we have posted in your country has been asigned as a large part of the operation "back to Order (in Prespolis)" and as was decided earlier they have totoall control of the millitary dock they are in, and is ready to hold this position even if trubbels esculate, we have with a submarine given them some help and the ships wich went there to get em back was actually bringing a few soliders in and some says that the damage in the ship was actually made by Kelsh self, this I can not tell cause it is classified. Well if we have to we will cheat in the polls but this is still pending if it is needed, we will probaly be abelto secure a victory without that. The Horns (a paramilitary organisation in kelsh) is making ready to send some demonstration defenders.

*in the city of Stephamachus campain workers from the Edenstein Workers Party who are endorsing Ms. Rubinski are going door to door to try and spread the message of her campaign*

Campaign Worker 1: Lets try this next one, it looks decent enough,
Campaign Worker 2: Ok, *she gets her pamphlets ready*

*they walk up the sidewalk to a small yellow house with roses and other small yard items in it, they knock on the door and a little lady about the age of 80 pokes her head out the door*

Worker 1: Goodafter noon Mam, I wanted to share some information with you,

Lady: Are you Mormons?

Worker 2: No, we are working in support of Alice Rubinski for her election bid, If we can share some...

Lady: You sound like Mormons, I don't take kindly to Mormons...

Worker 1: Look lady, we arn't mormons

Lady: You look like mormons, how can I be sure your not?

Worker 2: Because, *thinks* We are communist?

Lady: Why didn't you say so???? *she closes the door for a second then appears a moment later with a 12 gauge shotgun, she pumps it once* Get off my porch now you red bastards!!!!! Or else I'll really see if your red!!!!

*The two workers run off the porch and away from the house and go down the street a bit*

Worker 2: Next time I'M picking the house......

Worker 1: Ok, hold on a minute though... *sees the lady close the door and goes back inside, he runs up and puts a pamphlet in her mailbox* Ok, Now where too?

*The two continue down the street blanketing the area, All over the city, other workers are doing the same*

EDIT: OOC: Sorry if I offended any mormons, It was the first religious group that popped into my mind.

From his desk at 'Return to Order' Headquarters in the nation of Kelsh Iver Reitan looks over various messages and developments. After a few moments of silence he looks up at his aides and advisors:

"I'M NOT LOSING THIS ELECTION!"

**OOC**
nice post Edenstein, lol

OOC: Thanks

Advisor1: Ofcourse your not, and any way who cares if you do, we all know the people is dumb and easy lured, if you do lose we will take the power by any means needed

advisor2: I will personaly make sure we get a thousand new champaign workers over to Prespolis

Advisor3: I think we should send in the Horns instead [read alitle about em at http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=100599] im sure Sparkling may get a wholde demonstration ready in a very short period of time, and we could also do the natural of destroying Alice's public meetings and champaign posters.

a broad diskussion fell in

a broad diskussion fell in

In the meeting room within the nation of Kelsh.

Iver Reitan: "No, no, its not a question of more campaigning, its that girls image, its too clean, the Horns could dig up dirt, and start making the campaigners for her election 'disappear', we can't openly move against her yet, i don't want a commie martyr."

Reitan whispers to his advisor Nick Bell.

IR: "What news from Rotovia?"

NB: "Nothing else has happened sir, our agent Rudy reports that no new meetings have been set up, the staff are still settling in. There's been a power outage in the capital, so this might be a good time for our agent to strike."

IR: "Hmmm.. A power outage is in our favor, start the mission, get rid of Lim."

NB: "yes sir"

double post

In a meeting with campaign advisors Gen. Tagent looks over the incoming poll numbers.

Gen. Tagent: "I can't believe this, the commie is leading, I'm all for deomocracy, but not red trash, what are our options"

Pearl Encinal: "I have Charles Verdi on the phone, he says he's not backing out, but isn't willing to see Alice win either."

GT: "Tell him I'll call him later. Ted, what are we looking at?"

Ted Groesbeck: "Well there are Kelsh troops in Socratia, but the nation of Kelsh has pledged loyalty to Reitan, ummm and with Alice ahead in the polls it doesn't look like they'll just be sitting around ideal."

GT: "I can't believe this... Give me something positive"

PE: "Sir, we've lost all contact with the diplomats in Rotovia."

GT: "That's not what I wanted to hear."

ooc: just cause i accidently made 2 posts you didnt have to answear two times :D just joking ;)

IC:
Advisor 2: Oh thats a great idea! lets send a message to the Horns management right away!
the advisors spoke between each other maybe not noticing or just simply ignoring that Iver Reitan and NB (hehehe couldn't remeber his name) diskussed about an other issue

*Later*

Tom Sparkling had settled in the days second meeting with the Horns management admistration, he had merly settled at a café when he got a message true his cellphone that he must hold a new meeting to speak of the bussnise in the Return to Order (in Prespolis) champaign, he drank some of his tea and thoughter with his near hand body gaurds (two men of a hight of 2 meter wich looked to be nearly as wide at their shoulders).
When he settled in the meeting room angry that he had been interuptly and the other ones in the adminstrations droped in one by one till the table where filled he finished reading a message from the Return to Order admistration.
Tom: Well we have been told to start a more active campaign in Kelsh, our campaing should be hiden and mainly be to destroy the commies champaign, we have got a example where it says we should make some champaign workers "disipear", I think that we should send it alot more specilized men here then we did in the mater earlier today and civil clothed instead of just rought soliders.

the discussion began and ended with a order to fast prepear 1500 normal Horns for the work and 10 demonstration workers wich where to start up demonstrations against communism in several towns and there where also sent in a few special equiped and trained soliders, and 3 sniper rifels with em.

when that had been settled the men started to speak about an other issue [wich can be read in the forum "Commie treat (RP)" in a short while]

*In Stephamachus, the campaign workers from the Edenstein workers part continue to sweep the entire city, trying to gain support for Rubinski, two are standing on a street corner handing out buttons and bumper stickers to random people as they come by, in other parts of the City, the workers are are handing out Red cotton candy, a small child walks up to the stand with her mother*

Child: MOMMY MOMMY! I WANT SOME COTTON CANDY!!!!
Mother: Why? Thats communist Cotton candy....
Child: BUT MOMMY!!! I WANT SOME COTTON CANDY!!!
Worker: Here Mam, Here is some cotton candy for the child.
Mother: But won't this turn her into a communist?
Worker: *looks at the mother stunned* First Mam, this is just powdered surgar that has been heated up..... second whats wrong with being a communist? There are many redeeming qualities!!!
Mother: Communists kill Kittens and sheep!!!!
Worker: *Puzzled* Where did you here that?
Mother: *Shrugs* I don't remember...
Child: Mommy this is good Cotton Candy
Mother: Well thank you for giving me this cotton candy, who are you endorsing?
Worker: Alice Rubinski, and Mam, I assure you that we do not kill kittens....
Mother: *takes a pamphlet* alright thank you...

*all over the city the Edenstein workers spread out to try and gain more support and spread awareness that the communist party dosn't kill kittens*

*bump*

The Horns (and some agents) avaible in Prespolis started to begin the work with making commie workers "disapear" and some of the Horns started working on a huge demonstration in Socratia [some thought that the choise of city was strategicaly chosen because of the millitary base outside the town wich was held by Kelsh troops]
*at the same time in the millitary base*
Kelsh troops stormed into the defense towers and the radio center, and the one barrack with Prespolis troops and soon Kelshs general Gustaf Scheider spoke out in the base's speaker "All Prespolis troops located in the base please report to the closest Kelsh squad and accept that you will be taken unharmed to the base jail, we do not want to fire any bullet and we are not doing anything that should be seen as a decleration of war, we must just make sure that the base wont be attacked if it will be a change of gouverment! All kelsh soliders in part of the new defence force, report to your positions and the searching squads, please make sure all prespolian men is in the jail."
as soon as the orders where dealt out, there where large movement in the place and only 3 shoots was fired during the whole over take, one of em was fired by a radio man with his hand gun the other two where fired in his arm respective leg and he where brought to the sickbed, the Prespolis leader and Gustaf Scheider set down at a table and discussed this issue. The Prespolis leader and Gustaf had spoke alot the last mounth and the Prespolis leader was understanding with Gustaf and his gouverments concern and accepted the overtake in a deal that no more shoots would be fired against his men and the one in the sick bed should be treated by the best medic avaible, this was accepted by Gustaf the long the Perspolis didnt fire back.
[ooc: sorry for deciding what your man did prespolis, if you want to change anything i will not be against that]

**OOC**

To Kelsh:
Nothing wrong with that at all, in fact, it makes it more interesting when someone else says what happens with my oen forces, it throughs in some random chance, but only if its reasonable(that's to all you other nations, don't get any ideas :wink: )

TO: General Pervez Tagent and Charles Verdi
From: The Gouverment

This is an outrage! And it is your fault Pervez, your the one who started the riot and then called out for a election, well done is done.
We say that as it is your fault that this communist has goten a chance to get the power you should pay by get out of the election and tell your voters to vote on Iver Reitan instead, remeber your the fault to this thing.
Or maybe you two and Iver Reitan could sit down and work out a plan on creating a gouverment thougeter wich would give you alot beter control and if this gouverment recived all the votes that you three have recived in splited on yourself this would meen that you would win the election.

From: General Pervez Tagent
To: Diplomats of Kelsh

I can't believe you're saying we should back away from this process, even with a combination of all Reitan, Verdi, and votes for myself, we would only have 21 to Alice's 20. We need more voters voting. There must be a massive 'get out the vote' drive.

As the current leader of the Prespolian High Command, I would remind you that Prespolian territory isn't your own. Although we've allowed your troops to take the Socratia base, this is only temporary while our nation gets through this election. As for Reitan, you folks can keep him.

From somewhere in the mush of burueacracy a small piece of coded papper has benn sent to a assasinator somewhere in the countryside outside the prespolis capital on the papper the agent reads:

Miss Verinda, your mission has been set into motion and your target is target 2.

A message from Iver Reitan:

"No assasinations until the elections are over and I have won."

A new piece of papper is sent.

Miss Verinda hold your position, and await future order, ignore the last message

Tra Li pledges its full support behind the canditacy(OOC. not sure how to spell that) of Charles Verdi for hes efforts in the peace deal.
He would be a fine premier.

*With the Edenstein Propoganda Machine pumping all night long, workers put up these posters all of Prespolis's major cities. On Telephone poles, peoples yards, water towers, billboard, and workers wearing sandwich board signs*

*Sadly one Election worker was shot and killed by a shotgun blast to the head and abdomen when he attempted to place a sign in an elderly ladies front yard, she was quoted as saying, "HE LOOKED LIKE A MORMON! OR A COMMUNIST!!! OR WORSE!!! A MORMON COMMUNIST!!!" No word yet on legal proceedings against the elderly women*

OOC: Sorry not my best work but it gets the point across, :-)

***OOC***
ummm... wow... looks nice :shock:

The Dominion of Eredron supports Charles Verdi in this election; however, we pledge to work with whomever wins this election, and continue our support of Prespolis.

***OOC***

Just a heads up, voting shall end in about 36 RL hours, sorry its gonna last that log, but I probably won't be available enough to RP the aftermath until sunday, it being a weekend and all :wink:

ummm... wow... looks nice :shock:

thank you.

Incase you're wondering, there's another thread going kinda related to this. So below is an update as to what has been happening...

Iver Reitan has gotten a part of the Prespolian Military to switch over to his side, and has ordered them to go the Rotovia.

Charles Verdi, after hearing about the situation and the fact that a friend of his, Lara Lim(a diplomat) was injured is rushing to Rotovia.

Kelsh troops have taken over a base and dock in Northern Prespolis, and have placed all te soldiers there under arrest.

General Tagent is leading the Prespolian Government, but it looks like it wont be for very long, Alice Rubinski is far ahead of her competitors in the election to be the next leader of Prespolis.

well... ok its getting complicated, but thats the basic run down, any questions just telegram me, turns out I'll be around awhile tonight, but since I'll be gone tomorrow voting will continue until sunday at midnight(That's Greenwich time). e

Today a massive demonstration where held in Sacrito this demonstration was held against communism and for Iver Reitan as president.
The demonstration gatherd around 2500 people:
http://www.geocities.com/mjateznik/1.jpg
"Out with communism, down with Alice!"
"Reitan as president!"
"Edenstein out of the east pacific!"
"We want order not communistic chaos!"
was just a few of the things that the protestors chanted.

A big mass of pins where it says
"Reitan - My choice"
"100% taxes? no thanks! - vote Reitan"
"Alice Rubinskys :twisted: true face"
"no corporations - no nation, vote Reitan"

(ooc: i cant see the picture but i dont know what is wrong...)

The Stonie Social Forum offers 30 million $ to Alice Rubinsky and 20 million $ to Charles Verdi under condition that they work together for a true progressist coalition for Prespolis. A common platform for social justice, international peace, nationalization of common goods (education, healthcare, water, electricity, public transports) should satisfy both parts and provide sustainable future for Prespolis.

SBC (Stone Broacasting Company) denounces the beginning of a chilean scenario in Prespolis. The old militaro-industrial faction largely finances Tagent and Reitan counting on their warmongering ambitions to boost their business. Foreign interventions in the prespolian democratic process will provoke immediate reaction from the Free land of the Stonies.

2,000 independant electoral watchers from "Free your mind" will stay in Prespolis during the elections to avoid frauds, threats to electors... "Free your mind" ask all neutral parts to participate.
http://www.nycelectionwatch.org/images/watchwords.gif

Feline endorses both Charles Verdi and Pervez Tagent. We are offering 5,000,000 Paw Marks (10,000,000 United States Dollars) to both of their campaigns.

Also, we offer to send election inspectors as well.

Prespolian Election Commitee:

All international contributions have been acknowledged and sent to the respective campaign headquarters, candidates will be appearing to make statements soon.

** Kelsh Gouverment states what they think about this **
Dam this its just geting worse and worse, election workers?! Prespolis dont need that! I say that The Free Your Mind champaign should be abolished, and support to two candidates? Hey is that even legal???
Don't even think to come over to Kelsh!

We just picked one of them on the poll. They both have good ideas.

http://www.jerriblank.com/tvnoblet.gif

Friends and supporters, I'm sorry to announce that I wil not be with you in the next few days of the campaign. In order to provide a critical service to our nation I have left on an important diplomatic mission to Rotovia. Though my campaign will go on, I will not be here to oversee it, I trust in the actions of my friends and advisors and trust ultimately in the will of the Prespolian voters.

From the Rubinski Campaign:

Many lies have been told about the communist agenda, first and foremost we'd like to say we are pro-kitten.

http://www.drsegal.com/images/boots_kitten.jpg

My oppenents would have you believe that communists murder kittens, but nothing could be further from the truth, the only thing we murder is the lies of corporate fat cats.

http://www.landescostumes.com/photos/mto/fatcat_small.jpg

Please vote your heart and join me in freeing Prespolis.

Charles Verdi and Alice Rubinsky undoubtely share common points of view and have a common ideal: Social Progress. Together they gather 72% of the popular voices but none of them has a majority alone, they need to build up a coalition to bring Prespolis to peace, social justice and democracy.
Stigmatizing Alice Rubinsky as a stalinist destroy any possibility of serene political debate in Prespolis and shows the democratic immaturity of some candidates with as eveident consequence the murder of a militant from the "Edenstein Workers Party".

"I would like to make it clear that Prespolis is currently run by an un-lawful group, that has illegitimately taken power. And now that same group runs the risk of foolishly giving control of the nation to the hands of the communists, a fringe and radical group whose only hope chance at coming to power is to put forth a female candidate who's abilities are doubtful and whose credentials are none. This can not stand, and with your help, it will not stand."

Thanks, but thanks to everyone for all their contributions too.

bump...

and now time to sleep

Voting ends in 20 hours. Here's the latest total(with votes from the previous erased poll)

Iver Reitan - 7
Gen. Tagent - 11
Charles Verdi - 19
Alice Rubinski - 28

**OOC** I gotta point out that the same people who voted for someone in the last poll can just as easily have voted again and thus people might have 2 votes.Or those the voteing system work differently.

Somepeople seams to think that Verdi Charles and Alice Rubinski has something in coment, but this is not very true.... Verdi is mostly like Reitan but he wants to cut the taxes even more and take away as much as possible and only have private sector left, he will also work for peace, when Alice on the other hand wants to work for 100% taxes! communism, massmurder and make private enterprises illegal!

**OOC** I gotta point out that the same people who voted for someone in the last poll can just as easily have voted again and thus people might have 2 votes.Or those the voteing system work differently.

Yeah, and I could have logged in and voted for the candidate I liked with my puppet nations too. But I didn't. Just gotta trust people, I think.

SBC hasn't noticed that Verdi announced he would cut taxes nor that he would have only private sector left. He wants to get Prespolis a major good manufacturer, perfectly compatible with large public enterprises for goods that everybody NEED (education, water, electricity, healthcare, public transport...)
Your accusations over Rubinsky is totally absurd, massmurder? Rubinsky doesn't even kill kittens...

I'm trusting people will just vote once, but I'm also basically expecting ppl to vote several times.. since i know that's what some will do. So far its been an interesting turn of events. I never thought "Alice" would get so much attention, but I'm glad I was able to spark some ppls interest.

Voting ends in about 6-8 hours, and there will be major reprocussions no matter who wins, this should get fun :wink:

I never thought "Alice" would get so much attention, but I'm glad I was able to spark some ppls interest.

I was suprised too. Usually people vote for the military guy, like in the Hutuian Election (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=98688). Then again, James Roach (the guy who wanted to increase military spending in that election) was for Communist/Socialist rule. Perhaps most people will vote communist no matter what the politicition's viewpoint is.

The elections are basically over, but I won't officially ned them yet, I've been busy in the RL world so I'm gonna need a little time to work on the next post.

BREAKING NEWS: PRESPOLIAN ELECTIONS

http://cavyspirit.com/videos/ktvu0805.jpg

Breaking news this morning from Prespolis where elections have ended and the official results seem to indicate a landslide victory for political newcomer Alice Rubinski, and the 'Prespolian Revolutionaires Party".

http://home.earthlink.net/~banerjek/images/russia/tushina.jpg

People in Rubinski's hometown of Voldka flooded the streets to show their support for their hometown hero. With her victory she makes history as not only the first truly elected official in modern Prespolian history, but the first communist to be part of the mainstream governmental leadership. She is also only the second woman to have played a leadership role in Prespolian politics, the first being Pearl Encinal, who is currently a member of Prespolian High Command.

The Prespolian High Command recognizes the official results are as follows:
Iver Reitan: 9
Gen. Tagent: 12
Charles Verdi: 21
Alice Rubinski: 29

Rubinski made a statement earlier today promising that she hopes to work with Charles Verdi, whose strong showing both the South and the port city of Dolarhra have convinced many that any government would need his support to be effective and legitimate.

Late last night General Pervez Tagent conceded defeat, calling Rubinski's offices to express congradulations. Charles Verdi is expected to do the same, though any announcement from his camp has been delayed due to his emergency trip to Rotovia. The "Return to Order" campaign of Iver Reitan has not yet released any comments. Both insiders and political analysts warn that stability might be threatened if Reitan refuses to acknowledge the defeat.

http://www.niagara.com/~freedom/anticom/pcp.gif

"The People's Communist Prespolis"

Meanwhile the 'Revolutionaires Party' unvieled the flag they hope to make the official state flag of Prespolis, they also hope to change the nations official name to the People's Communist Prespolis.

"I would like be the first to congradulate the people of Prespolis on a smooth and free election and to welcome in the first democratically elected leader, Alice Rubsinski. Whom I trust will help to manetain the relationship with Rotovia. On this happy note I thank the High Command for it's efforts in securing our capital after the breif terrorist seige. Once again my congradulations to Ms Rubinski and the people of Prespolis."

President: "Not the point, Julia! Can you do me a favour?"

VicePresident: "If it involves your stupid coffee mug..."

President: "No, I want you to meet with the new leader of Prespolis."

VicePresident: "Me?! Talk to a communist?"

President: "Do it me... please. I'll owe you one"

VicePresident: "Darn right you will, I'm not shaking her hand..."

President: "Play nice"

In protest over the communist take over in Prespolis, the Nation of New Alameda hereby cuts all diplomatic and economic ties. We offer refugee status to any citizens of Prespolis that wish to seek exile.

Nigel Catalina
President of New Alameda

Despite Eredron's long-standing animosity towards communism, Consul Supreme Drakes is prepared to meet personally with Alice Rubinski, if possible before his term ends, and before the Eredron Consul Elections (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=101751&highlight=/) end.

On that note, candidates for Consul Supreme have voiced overall support of the new Prespolis leader; the exception is George McAllister, who has always historically taken a heavily anti-Communist stance.

EDIT: Slow server. :oops:

Members of the Supreme Executive Council rejoiced at the announcement of the election of Alice Rubinski. The Socialist Union of Kerla hopes to work with the new government of Prespolis. We hope that we can have great relationship and proper though a peaceful era. Also The Socialist Union of Kerla announces that it will send aid in the amount of 5 billion to Prespolis to help with the new government and the needs of the country. We are glad that Prespolis has free elections and a Communist won.

Eric Manoni
President of the Supreme Executive Council

Hattia congratulates Prespolis on their electing a Communist leader. Hattia would also like to strengthen diplomatic and economic ties with Prespolis if possible.

Stonieland welcomes a new country in the community of democracy.

However we wish to remember Alice Rubinsky that political rights are equally important as ecomic rights. Democracy is a precious gift and accepting victories and defeats the greatest quality of mature politicians.

Stonieland wishes to help Prespolis to develop alternative energies (wind, solar, water,...) in which we have a large experience. We can also provide you free training for 10,000 of your soldiers to guerilla warfare at the Sinsemilia Training Ground.
specifications about the training (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1987033)
We can also build a strategic nuclear bunker for Prespolis at reduced price (construction fees only:650 million $).

We look forward for further cooperation between our countries.

The troops in that port is not gona have the second ship ready till atleast 2 days and we can not risk to only take half the men out cause that may make the ones left in a risky position."

I've been gone for a while, and I don't know how many ppl saw the following post, as it was in another thread, but it has great relevancy to the end of the elections that have just taken place. I've also gone through this thread and cut down the number of pics so it'll go faster. Forgive me on adding a bunch right now.

***In the Temporary Headquarters of the Prespolian Expeditionary Force***

http://www.afrc.af.mil/910aw/Public_Affairs/Airstream%20Online/February%202002/comm%20post%20land%20left.jpg

Officer Bellock: "Sir, one of our 'cats has just spotted a convoy retreating west from the capital."

General Parka: "Do the Rotovian know anything about it?"

Officer Bellock: "No sir. The sighting has been confirmed by our scouts. Should I call up a strike."

General Parka: "Let's see, this report says they're near a group of our boys. Might as well get them on the group, they're as good as ours. I don't want to have any of our pilots hitting Rotovian civilians. Don't do it."

Officer Bellock: "Yes sir, I just got word Mr. Verdi's plane has touched down at an airfield outside the capital without incident."

General Parka: "Good, more reason to keep from hitting random targets, there's a lot of important people on the ground today, I'd hate to see anything happen."

Parka leaves the room, taking with him the report on the convoy. As soon as he leaves Bellock picks up the phone and calls Air Command.

http://www.losangeles.af.mil/ABG/CPOST.JPG

Officer Bellock: "This is Bellock with Command, get the Apaches ready, we've got a suspicious target on the road between "Interlaken Airfield", and Rotovian Capital. Looks like some stragglers from the Imperial Forces."

Air Command: "Ummm you're who? We've only got permission to strike if its from General Parka, besides we're not cleared for that area, its not even our defense zone."

Officer Bellock: "Its special order, we believe a terrorist leader is amongst the members of the convoy."

Air Command: "Sir I'm sorry, but all our pilots are currently on mission."

Officer Bellock: "Get me through to one then."

Air Command: "We'll I've only got one that I can get you to, its Commander Sjidon"

Officer Bellock: "Good, get me through to him."

Sjidon: "This had better be important.

Officer Bellock: "Are you ready to do your service for Dear Leader?"

http://military-graphics.net/apache.jpg

***On the freeway between Interlaken and Capital City***

Charles Verdi and aides rush to the capital to meet with the Rotovian President and surviving members of the Diplomatic Corps.

Charles Verdi: "Hellen, can you get me on the phone with Dionysus, I need to know where Lara's been taken."

Hellen Trugger: "I'll try to get him for you, but remember we've been trying since we've landed."

Charles Verdi: "All the more reason to get to the capital and get things straightened out in person."

Hellen: "Charles are you sure you're ok?"

Verdi: "I'll be fine, after we talk to Dionysus I've got to call Rubinski."

Hellen: "I'm sorry about the election, I-

Verdi: "Its ok, these things happen."

After a momentary silence.

Hellen: "Driver, why aren't we there yet, the trips supposed to be less than an hour?"

Driver: "I don't know ma'am, these directions are what I'm following."

Hellen: "Lets see those"

He hands them back to Hellen.

Hellen: "Hmmm... Signed by C.J. Bellock of Ex. Command, Command boys never get anything right."

Suddenly the sound of rotors fills the car.
