At the age of 56, the first president turned dictator of Adullam dies from a heart attack. In light of President Salon's death, a power struggle has risen between three faction leaders. Quincy Adams of the Democratic Party, Wilson Bone of the Socialist Party, and the John George of the Imperial Party.

Adams states " We need to return to the way Adullam was supposed to be set up, a democratic nation. Where people live free and protected, not oppressed, by the government. Elect me and I will gaurantee that for each and every citizen of Adullam

Wilson stated "Dictatorial rule and democratic rule is inefficiant for the good of the common person. Once elected, I will bring harmony to the common person and I will bring more wealth to the poverty stricken person. One man, one government, one party, one nation. If we are united in the government by getting rid of political parties, we will be a united nation."

George quotes "Why do you need parties, a government spread out over different areas. What the country of Adullam needs is an Emperor that will protect his subjects from threats both internally and abroad. Everyone will be their own representative, then there will be no need for corrupt politicans getting there way in the governent.

As of now the polling results after those speeches were made

Adams: 33%
Wilson: 36%
George: 31%

Over the next few days, they will be giving speeches around the nation to win support and votes for Monday's election.

Given at a capital press conference on the death of President Salon...

"In light of President Salon, we will support Ouincy Adams of the Democratic Party. Over 30 years ago, our great nation was founded. Over 25 years ago, we we're attacked by Adullam and President Salon. Now, we have a chance to rid the world of another terror regime. We will take all measures to ensure a peaceful election for the country of Adullam on Monday. Once being allies, now being enemies, we have a chance to become partners again. As of now, the government of Aimira supports this election in favor of Mr. Quincy Adams. Being President, with open elections, for 28 years; you learn a lot about people and where they stand. Now I hope that the citizens of Aimira will support me and my administration in the next election in three years and Adullams election Monday."

President Bostian's Approval Rating First Taking Office: 94 %

President Bostians's Approval Rating As of Today: 86%

Adams "The country has been under the iron fist of one man. That man put a restraint on who says what, where people go, what the government does, and caused our strongest allies to leave our side. No longer will there be any more oppression. No longer will there be threats on our human rights. No longer will we be quite. If I was doing this while President Salon was still alive, I would never be heard of again by tomorrow. If I am elected, I will re-establish our great constitution, re-establish our regional states and let you elect your governors, and I will reopen up relations with the world as a whole.
I promise that the citizens of Adullam will get education, health care, and more jobs. This process will take longer than just four years, but if the citizens are willing I will stay in as long as you want to see my plans through. The Imperial Party, isn't that what we are getting away from. The Socialist party, isn't that also what we have over come. Let democracy reign, or forever be in bondage."

Approval Ratings:
Adams: 67%
Wilson: 63%
George: 56%

"Many days have been too long and too cold for this great nation to go back too. Not only shall we strive for greatness, we shall strive for dignity and respect. The world looks down on this country ever since the Aimiran-Adullam War. Not any more. We will cut ties with Aimira and all her allies. The hardships of the poverty stricken people will be eradicated when I am elected. The un-employment rate of Adullam is at 56%. That will change, if the people want a job, they can join some part of our armed forces. If they join, the government will pay for their schooling and families. This will be the greatest nation the world has ever seen. We will achieve scientific break throughs. We will expand the economy ten times over. I will not restore our constitution, instead, we will create a new and better one. Elect me as your President. I will serve this country 24/7.

Approval Ratings:

Wilson: 66%
Adams: 66%
George: 13% (Dropping out of the race)

Imperator Valteen slammed his fist during his video phone conversation with George. "Get back in the race fool. The Imperial Republic will endorse you with all your needed funds. We will even bring troops in for your support if need be. Just get back in that damn race and let Imperialist reign accross the world!"

OOC: 66%, 66%, adn 13% dont add up. If your doing an all over pole I suggest you change it. DO it to see who wants who. Have it add to 100% percent.

IC:After having had to rip Adullam off Aimira we have never quite forgotten them. TO see that the evil tyrant rulign their country has died is a deligth to all of man. We back George. We also back Adams, but onyl 2nd to George. If Wilson comes to power we may go to war with Adullam to remove the unstable back-stabbing country.

IC: The numbers such as 66%, 66%, 13% where just approval ratings. Not polls. Sorry for the mix up.

As the Capital City was up in activity because today marks the last day of the run for office. With only two candidates left, Adams and Wilson, that share two totally different views.

Adams: "For many years, none has come close to the greatness that democracy shows. For many years we have waged a silent war against the recently deceased dictator. We have finally reached that point to where we can win. I promise that with all that is in me, I will change this nation to better democracy and to better you. This in an outrage to even think to put some one like Wilson back in office since we are trying to recover from such a travesty. Make the right choice tomorrow at the polls and elect someone that is for you."

Wilson: "Already, people of the world see how powerful this party is. They have already threatened to use military action. If that is the case then I drop out of the race for President. I will not bring war and suffering on my people to promote the idea of one man. However, in the future when you see that democracy is thrashing at your rights and health, you just remember that it was you who voted, not me."

[As the audience in the studio was stunned, they just looked at each other to see if they had heard right.]

The anchor of the show spoke..."Well, umm, I am shocked just as well as you are. If there is no more people to run except Adams, then I quess he automatically becomes the next President of Adullam. Mr. Adams, how do you feel about this."

"Well, democracy and goodness always triumphs over socialists and evil. I will still let people vote tomorrow for the three and we will see where the people stand. Because if I automatically accpeted the position, I would be denying the people the right to choose. So vote tomorrow, for any of the three candidates, even George who is not wanting to run any more."

-Voting Day-

"Good afternoon, I am Walter Cronkite, today is election day here in Adullam and we are now waiting for the results of who will be our second leader.

"Folks, there you have it. Mr. Ouincy Adams will be our next President of Adullam. Democracy has prevailed in this country, which gives us all hope."
