Since the passing of the "open politics act" over a century ago, Aubainian people had more political parties to join, rather than the Aubainian Freedom Party(AFP), the Aubainian Hawk Party(AHP), and the Aubainian Imperial Party(AIP). But no worries came to the government. Those three parties had popular support of many people, and the richness of the Imperial party could buy out weaker parties.

However, one party could subdue these threats, the Aubainian Socialist Party(ASP). It didn't gain much support in elections, but it's underground funding kept it afloat. Finally, after the elections a week ago, huge change took place. The Congress, composed of a House and Senate both equally have 250 members.

By the end of the election, the results were shocking. A total of twenty AFP, thirty AHP, and Twenty AIP were voted into congress. The ASP gained one hundred and thirty members, the most it's ever had. This was not shocking, at first, until the first Congressional meeting after the election.

Aubainian Congressional meeting -

The Prime Minister, Alexander Micheal stood, standing in front of the House. He addressed them, and then asked if there was any business. A socialist member rose, bowing before the Prime Minister.

"Sir, the house wishes to propose this resolution." The man stated, getting out of his seat, and taking the large document to the minister. He was aghast. Aubainian politics worked as so:

The Senate or House proposed a bill. If the majority agreed to it in both, it went to the Prime minister. He would then either agree to it, or veto it. If it was agreed to, it would go to the king. The King would then approve it, or send it back to the congress to be edited. If vetoed or sent back once, the congress could overide these, and make it automatically a bill.

This bill would pass surely, with a majority of Socialists in both places of Congress. The bill read as so, toned down:

The Socialist rebirth:

Here by stated, this bill shall abolish the Aubainian monarchy and democracy, and instead replace it with a communist state, which would promote the welfare of the people, to better respect them.

After the meeting, Alexander was in sheer terror. The Socialist party would vote in two weeks, and Congress must be in session for a month after elections before it could be disolved. Aubain was doomed..unless of course Alexander could have some sort of outside force slowly pluck out every socialist member in Congress. He could not use the national army; the King commanded it, and he did not want to draw the king into it.

So he set out..to find any organisation, nation, or free state willing to bug the congress and stop this horrid bill from being passed. If Alexander could succeed in doing this, he could motion for congress to abolish the "open politics act".

Slowly walking down the corridor towards the throne of the kingdom of Aubain, the diplomat slowly stops and bows before the king and acknowledges the Prime Minister.

"Your highness and Mr. Prime Minister, I bring diplomatic greatings from the nation of Aimira. The President-temp has sent me because she has heard your plea for help to the global community. A threat to your leadership has occured from the socialist party of your nation. However, unless hostile actions are taken by the socialist party, Aimira will not become involved in your internal conflicts because of inefficient leadership the country has. We bring questions to better understand and possible help you to overcome this threat. Does your king not have the authority to dissolve the Congres, and if so, do it to purge the socialist informally. If he can not dissolve Congress, do you not have a constitution to gaurantee the safety of your nations government? Also, the other parties can attach riders to the bill to where it can not pass through the socialist party. If this has been awaste of your time, I appologize, if the need arises Aimira and her allies will come the aid of protecting lives."

Not knowing how the king and the Prime Minister took the response from Aimira, the diplomat slowly walked away feeling the burning of eyes in the back of his head.

" Your highness, Mr. Prime Minister, I want to greet you on the behalf of our nation of Adullam. When it comes to turbulent times, we know exactly how you feel. We are personally recovering from a dictatorship, and turning to democracy. Our newly elected President Ouincy Adams has expressed great support for presserving you democratic-monarchy. The President personally supports the actions expressed by our ally, Aimira, to dissolve your Congress to prevent a major disaster from happening to your country. However, we personally condon the intent of using arsonal against innocent victims of a rival political party. Our nation has laid out a plan in dissolving your Congress upon signing this document. [She lays out two sheets on the desk in front of the king and the P.M, stating 'By signing this document, the King of Aubain official decrees that the Congress of Aubain is unfit for representation. In acting on the behalf of the government and the citizens, the Congress becomes null and void upon the signing of both the King and the Prime Minister of Aubain.'] Sir, in signing this, the position of Prime Minister will be dissolved and you will possibly face terrorist actions against your government. However, if you do not sign it, the results could be worse. The choice is yours."

The prime minister looked over the document from Adullam, but shook his head sorrowfully.

"We cannot sign this. Congress must approve all documents from foreign powers, to make them valid. If we sign this, it would be considered a scandal and our present government would fall to pieces."

The Prime minister then turned to Aimira, shaking his head.

"I can disolve Congress, but only after it has been in session one month after new elections. The constitution states nothing about preserving our current government, so a new government could easily take over. We could attach riders, but the Socialist party has the most seats in both the house and Senate."

Looking out the King's office windows across the capital city, the Secretary of State of Adullam look around to the diplomat from Aimira. Coming closer to the diplomat, she began to talk.

"If the Socialist Party enacts the bill, the legislative process would die here in Aubain. Not only would just would one party rule, but what kind of party would it be that ruled. Your royalness, I am sure Aimira feels the same way we do seeing how they expressed themselves earlier, we cannot take hostile actions on a government's political machine. If such actions were taken, the world community around would attack us both politically and aggressively. I regret, but we are to stand down from Aubain's plea for help. All I can say is veto it, and try your hardest to defeat this any way possible. But for this situation, our alliance is going to have to shut our door on this request. You may have to create a civil war to preserve your nation, and if that is the case then we will support you. If it comes down to it, raise an army and crush this threat to your government. If you do, at the first signs of defeat, our alliance will step in and help your country. Until then, good day your royalness, Mr. Prime Minister."

The Secretary of State of Adullam and the Diplomat from Aimira gathered their documents and coats and walked out the front door and was gathered into their car and transported to the airport. Seeing the protests from the other political parties outside of the Congressional building, they averted their eyes and drove on.

As they left, Prime Minister Alexander Micheal looked over at the king. They had little choices left. They understood where Adullam was coming from. It was slim that such a bill would die with such strong forces in Congress. War would have to be taken. The king looked at Alexander directly, with a strong serge of emotion in his eyes.

"Hand me some paper. I'm signing a war document!" The king shouted. The only politcal rally which the king could do anymore was declare war, and sign into any treaties with foreign nations, as long as they didn't touch up the Aubainian government.

"Sire, who can we declare war on?" The prime minister said.

"Ourselves. Civil war is the only way. Declare war against the Socialist scum! The only way we can start such a civil war is to declare war upon ourselves."

And the document was signed, and taken to the Socialist controled Congress the next day. The king declared war, yet Congress kept track of all legal documents. The congress was not happy.

"Hrm, so our petty king thinks he can oppress us, just because we've finally gained an upper hand? Well so be it! The Socialist party here-by secedes it's self from Aubain! And because we, the Socalists, ARE the government, we gain the capital, as well as four of the six providences. The royalist cause can keep the other two providences!" The Socialist head in the Congress screamed. War was on.

Aubainian nationalist forces control the two smallest providences, Outo and Aoto. They have 1/3 of the army, which is all the army which isn't in the ASP. The king is still entrapped in the capital, and needs to be saved.

Aubainian Socialist forces control the Providences of Haan, Geri, Frum, and Balst. They also have control of the Grand Duchy of Colone, and the Steppe peoples of Alois. Finally, they have control of the Holy Empire of Bermicia. It is independant, but so many laws pushed through by congress have left it always reliant on Aubain, and practically Aubainian lands. They have 1/2 of the army. Any of the army not taken by either side have fled to neutral territories.

The national government calls out to any nation wishing to keep the realm safe for Democracy, to save the king before death befalls him. Whilst the Socialist government ushers any Facist state to aid them in this cause for justice.

OCC: We're still in diplomatics. When high tensions are reached (The King is either saved or killed), a war topic will be posted.

OOC NOOOOOOOO! I just made a huge post and I was logged off when I posted, all GONE! Sorry, I will help get your king. But only if you post in the colony thread thingy.

The national capital was quickly moved from Aubainian City to the port city of Shyu. The city was large, and was situated near the Gulf of Tyrine(Taranto). The nationalists were weaker, but they rallied a stronger cause.

Scientists and writers from the foreign world poured into Shyu, to aid the nationalist cause. The Prime Minister acted as High Minister, with the powers of an absolute monarch. The Prime Minister was alone in the nationalist government. The Congress was part of the Socialist republic, leaving Alexander Micheal to wage war and politics.

The first few days of the Nationalist government were insane. Alexander Micheal decreed that the Socialist Mark(The new currency of the Socialist Republic, which is merely the Golden Mark with the Socialist insignia on it), were useless in national territory, and did not think twice about shipping people who were Socialist into the Republic. Spies were also shipped into the Socialist Republic, in order to attempt rescues upon the king. The High Minister awaits the Spies replies.

Aubainian City; Governmental Palace - Palacial Gardens:

The king, Drake Rlugia sat in the gardens, sipping a glass of tea. His life was not threatened by the Socialists, but he was confined to his palace. It was not a dreadful life however, for Drake's days were filled with what the communists called "celebration for communism". If Communism wanted people to be equal, why would they have daily balls and lavished festivals for the rich? He was granted some power however. He was judge for the rich communist aristocrats, and handled their petty feuds during parties.

----

Drake's daily schedule was so:

5:00 AM - Wake up. "Honored Attendants(People who won something the day before)" help him Dress.

6:30 AM - Breakfast with Chairman

8:00 AM - Go out to balcony, and announce to the people how he was wrong to lead them, then reciting the Socialist poem five times.

10:00 AM - Attend Communist Ball.

12:00 PM - Eat Lunch with "Honored Attendants".

1:00 PM - Judge Communist Shoot-Off.

2:00 PM - Short Nap

2:30 PM - Tea in the garden; alone time.

3:00 PM - Attend Communist lecture in throne room.

5:00 PM - Go out to balcony, address the people about how wrong he was as a monarch, toss 4000 Golden Marks into the crowd.

6:00 PM - Attend Banquet in honor of Socialism.

7:00 PM - Attend Festival of Heros in Palacial square.

11:00 PM - Visit chairman, prepare him for bed.

12:00 AM - Visit Royal Chapel.

12:10 AM - Attend Night of Champions.

3:50 AM - Attend Banquet formally ending Communist activities for the day.

4:30 AM - Do Paper work, then go to bed.

(Keep note, attendees of these festivals usually go to bed ar 3:50 AM, wake up at 8:00ish, but can take naps during intervals, unlike Drake.)

----

Drake sipped his tea once more. It was all that kept him awake really. Thirty minutes of sleep, for the past week were starting to show. Drake's reaction was slow, and his feet hurt from constant dancing, his head rattled from memorizing poems.

"Oh Alexander..please, save me soon. . ." Drake muttered, as he layed his head down. He had five minutes before his lecture.

Road on the way to Aubainian City -

The spies who were hired for saving the king were smart, but lacked the technology to set up cameras and such. They would have to rely on wit and stealth, so in theory, these spies were more like Ninja. The spies had stopped on a backroad for rest, after traveling all night.

----

Back in Shyu, Alexander Micheal planned to appear on TV. He had witfully set up another broadcast at the same time as his, on the same channel. Alexander would prepare to say something, but it would quickly cut to another broadcast, atleast in the Socialist realm. So while Socialists were in awe of another show, other nations would hear Alexander's plea.

----

TV Station - Nationalist News

"Greetings, I am Alexander-"

----

A Socialist TV Set:

"We cut this program to instead show how bread made by Aubainians in the 1500s. First, they took water. . ."

----

Elsewhere -

"-Micheal, and I am High Minister of the Aubainian nationalist government. I urge any nation which can aid the nationalist cause of Aubain to do so. We are in need of military, and technical help. Anyone who can send spies to help save our king and relocate him to Shyu city would be helpful as well. Please, if foreign power hears this message, please aid us!"

OCC: Alright, I'll post. Sorry about you being logged off. x_X

In the Socialist republic, Greg Tichov was elected Chairman. The Congress passed a series of resolutions, to strengthen their grip. Any national sympathsiser was executed in public, and all other political parties were outlawed. The army was nationalized, and all production in factories were changed to produce more military items. The Chairman was witful, and more intelligent than the High Minister of the National Aubain. Yet the National Aubain had more support of the people. As more inhumane acts pilled up against the Socialist Republic, the more people became discontent. It had gotten so worse one day, that women armed with frying pans tried to seize the Congressional building!

----

Socialist Congressional Building -

"Well, what do you propose we do? We lack support of the international community, while National Aubain has gained a little support. Our cities grow discontent by the day, and many international organizations refuse to recognize our sovreignity!" A dashing young man asked, with deep brown hair and green eyes. He wore a brown suit, the Socialist insignia. This man was Greg Tichov, the Socialist Chairman.

"We should try to gain support of foreign nations. Give aid, create embassies, allow the Socialist culture to spread!" A Congressional member harked out, before sitting down. Both the national and socialist governments had a choice. Duke it out until the end, or peck and peck at other nations to gain allies, then duke it out. It was a weary time in the Aubain realm.

----

OCC: Okay..tension rising amongst both nations, despite the fact they've had no conflict/contact since the seperation of powers. Any nation may give aid, or offer diplomatics with either the Socialist or National governments. The National government is the old government, while the Socialist government is the former congress of the old government.

"Mr. President." spoke Gen. Dains

"Yes, what is it." spoke President Adams, looking up from his desk.

"The Socialist have seperated from the nation of Aubain. However, as of now there has been no conflict, but the king remains intrenched in the royal palace because the Socialist control the city." stated the General while laying down papers and pictures.

"Since the change of government, how is our military?"

"Sir, the military is at its weakest point. However, our strong point is our air force."

"What are you purposing we do General." President stated while taking off his classes.

"We air lift the King out of there, transport him to the Port Shyu, and let him and the Prime Minister regain the control of their government."

"General, do it."

"Sir, what about Congressional approval?"

"Only if we declare war, or we committ troops to battle. This is just a rescue operation."

"Yes sir."

-Operation: God Save The King-

As the new stealth T-23 choppers lifted off from the air base at Grendan, they set their destion for the Capital City of Jonzaisha. With six choppers and 33 men, they flew over the coast of Jonzaisha and approached the capital.

"P-23 do you copy."
"Yes, P-23, I copy"
"Set the choppers in the back of the palace."
"Yes sir"

As they sat the choppers down, the troops slowly jumped out and secured the area. As the main chopper doors opened, the General Dains jumped out and was followed by three troops. As they made their way through the dark hours of the morning, the General looked at his watched and said "Right On Time."

"Sir, what time is it."
"It is, 4:30. Long before the king gets up."

As they made their way to the chamber, they we're encountered by a socialist supporter.

"You can't go in there. This is not your war." stated a rotund man.

"We appologize for the inconvience we have put on your new nation. However, the King is wanted by the President of Adullam for promoting terrorist acts. We figured that we get the man that is causing dispare and you get rid of you monarchy that you are fighting hard against." stated the general.

"Oh, umm, I have to talk to my superiors about this." the man begins to walk off.

"Shoot him." [A young troop pulls out the weapon and shoots him.]

"How long before that man wakes up from the tranquilizers?"

"30 minutes."

As the General bursts in to the King's sleeping chambers. The king is startled.

"You highness, we have come for you. However, we are sorry in advance for doing this. But it is for the good of your nation." General Bains.

The trooper pulled out the tranquilizer gun and shot the king. The king looked in disgust and then smiled himself right into sleep. As the six troops carried him to the chopper, the General looked around the chamber to see if he could use anything to help the democratic side win. Nothing. They boarded the chopper and we're off to the Port of Shyu.

As the choppers sat down in Port Shyu, they were greated warmly by the resistance. They unloaded the King and took him to the nearest housing complex.

"Give this to your Prime Minister. He may find this very usefull in the days to come." [The General hands the soldier a folder] We must go."

The T-23's took off from the air field from Port Shyu and made their way back home.

"Mrs. President, Adullam has succeeded in retriving the King. The have secured him in Port Shyu. No word yet has come from the Socialist Party Leader."

[Turning around in her chair, she carefully looks at the reports in front of her]

"As of now, you know that we are in a difficult time. We are recovering from a major coastline earthquake that has left 10's of millions dead. The President, my husband, is in the hosiptal in critical condition, the Vice-President is dead, and I am acting President-temp. We can not commit humanitarian aid because we need it. I can not commit troops because they are also helping. Our country has united like it has never before. I would like to express my deepest sympathies with the King and Mr. Prime Minister, but right now, I we are going to have to withdraw all support from this campaign until the Senate comes into session again in three weeks. Tell them that we will support Adullam's involvement but we can not get involved until Congress comes into session." [Looks disapointed, but turns around in her chair]

"I feel that I am making a big mistake, but I pray that they acheive their goal." [said behind the chair]

"Thank you, Mrs. President."

In a world-wide TV broadcast, the National Government of Aubain thanked all who had aided them up until this point. Prime Minister Alexander Micheal, and King Drake Rlugia both thank Adullam for their tremedous support, and also thank Aimira for it's help as well.

"It's a turning point for the nationalists," The king began. "there have been parades all day, in my honor. I thank Adullam for saving me, so that I could be reunited with my people. Due to internal problems, I am afraid we cannot have National Congressional elections. So until Aubain is reunited, I shall relinquish my title as king. There is no way I could be a monarch with power; I was no taught for it. Instead I'll leave ruling to my Prime Minister, Alexander Micheals. He is hereby proclaimed head of the nationalist state!"

The Prime Minister was quite surprised with the king's choice, but he agreed to it. He was happy the king put so much faith into him, not fearing that he could create a dictatorship.

"As the head of state, I Alexander Micheal, shall formally declare war against the scum known as the Socialists. Soon the realm of Aubain will be united once more, under their king and congress."

----

The Socialists were quick to declare war, almost afterwards upon Aubain. It publicly condemned Adullam for saving the king, but it did not attempt to declare war upon them. The Socialist government was slowly falling to corruption and ill-fate, due to the king's rescue. They had nothing to ensure they could remain independant. Their only trump card was..gone.

OCC: Expect a war topic soon!
