The United Empire of Colerica has set up the second (and hopefully, last) election for the first Executor of the Island Republic of Isla De Plata. As you may recall, the last elections ended in tragedy when Brig. General Santos Briggs was assassinated shortly after being declared the winner. Under Isla De Plata's Constitution, the election results had to be scrapped and new election had to be set up.

Imperial Royalist Party of Isla De Plata
The Imperial Royalist Party is considered the most powerful party currently in the Isla De Plata political scene. Their leaders have close ties to the Colerican Imperial family and they advocate a strong friendship with the United Empire. Critics say that they advocate too much of a friendship with the UEC and that they aren’t looking out for the best of Isla De Plata.

-- Strongly for close ties to the United Empire of Colerica
-- Strongly for the Military Conscription Act
-- Strongly for the death penalty

Freedom Party of Isla De Plata
The Freedom Party is considered an upstart group that appeals to the youth of Isla De Plata. Running a very young candidate, they have been criticized that they are immature, inexperienced, and naïve.

Socialist Mend’Ravo Party of Isla De Plata
The Socialist Mend’Ravo Party is a mixed-bag of open socialists and communists in Isla De Plata. The Ma’dah regime brutally oppressed political freedoms when they had control and they were especially harsh on the nation’s socialists/communists. This party is not considered to be a strong choice among the highly-capitalistic society.

‘Comrade’ Kara Quelaan
Sex: Female
Age: 29
Former Position: Political activist that was jailed for the bombing of a Ma’dah government building two months prior to the Colerican-led liberation of the island nation. A staunch socialist, she is considered to be far too extreme for the mainstream Plataeese people. Nonetheless, she has decided to run. Party considered responsible for the assassination of Santos Briggs.

-- Strongly against more military funding
-- Strongly against personal firearm ownership
-- Strongly for a more centralized government

Ma’dah Reborn Party of Isla De Plata
The Ma’dah Reborn Party is made up of the many remaining members of the former oppressive regime. Not considered to be well-liked. Openly advocates the rebirth of the Ma’dah regime.

Lt. Colonel Dominic ShenTaun(ret)
Sex: Male
Age: 44
Former Position: Lietenant Colonel in the former Ma’dah army. Calls for the rebirth of the Ma’dah. Believed to know where Mage Uraine is hiding at. Not considered to be the most popular of candidates, but has a slight edge over both the Socialist Mend'Ravo and Nazi Unification parties. Party has some sympathy among voters after the murder of Santos Briggs, its former candidate.
Major Issues:

-- Against abortion
-- Strongly for more military funding
-- Strongly against personal firearm ownership

-- Doesn’t care about the markets, so long as the gov’t gets their “fair share” of the profits
-- Strongly against Free Speech Act



Nazi Unification Party of Isla De Plata
The National Socialist Unification Party is, alarmingly, the biggest third party in the election. Hated by many, they advocate a political agenda that would make Adolf Hitler proud.

Kal Montross

While not yet official, it appears that Maj. General DeClar Ramos has won in a narrow election. Roughly sixty-one percent of the precincts are reporting in as of now, so there could be a swift in the results.

One last good bump......

Maj. General DeClar Ramos -- following a complete count of the votes -- has been declared the winner in a close election. Already some people are criticizing the results as "fixed" and "rigged."
