Moscow, Russian ISR, Union of International Socialist Republics

Elections to choose the UISR's inceptive First Secretary began this morning at nine sharp, as the 932 elektoriyy (upstanding citizens of the UISR chosen to represent equal divisions of land in the four UISR states) of the new communist Union convened at Moscow's Teatralskaya Bolshonaya under sealed, locked and guarded doors. Moscow's grandest and most historic theatre is the temporary location of the government until it is finalised; after that time it will move into the Government Complex along the Moscow River.

It is notable that none of the twenty-four candidates for First Secretary were non-Russians. The Russian ISR contributed more than half of the elektoriyy based on population.

After the first ballot, held at ten this morning, 11 of the 24 candidates for First Secretary were knocked off. The leader was the favourite to win the position, Bouri Andreyevich Nemerov, former Second Secretary of the old Soviet Union from 1988-91, with 391 votes, or 41.95% of the elektoriyy. 60% of the vote is needed to become First Secretary.

The second ballot, held at noon, saw lesser-possible frontrunners like the lone female candidate, Natalya Simionavich Derespanov, a 46-year-old schoolteacher from Nizhniy Novgorod, Yuriy Fursenkovich Medeshev, a 70-year-old Orthodox priest, and Boris Borsovnavich Dimitrov, a 65-year-old Communist Liberation Army organiser, knocked off with six other candidates. That left Nemerov with his toughest competition, CLA Generals Aleksandr Fyodorovich Rumevsky, Sergei Molnavich Ustinov and Mikhail Kuzhetovich Frolik left in the race, all four of them under the age of 65.

The elektoriyy broke for lunch at 1:00 p.m. and returned for a three-p.m. ballot, in which Ustinov threw in the towel and backed Nemerov. On the fourth ballot, at four in the afternoon today, we will see whether Nemerov, Rumevsky or Frolik take the position of First Secretary (the national leader) of the Union of International Socialist Republics.

All three men pledge to have strong relations with Hogsweat, Ottoman Khaif, the USSR and Euroslavia, four of the largest communist nations in the world.

We should find out soon who becomes leader. We'll keep you posted.

Fourth ballot results in

The nine hundred and thirty two elektoriyy were yet again indecisive on the fourth ballot, giving favourite Bouri Andreyevich Nemerov the lead yet again, but an insufficient one to earn the position of First Secretary.

The elektoriyy were forced into a fifth ballot on candidate Mikhail Kuzhetovich Frolik's surprise second-place finish in this writ. Nemerov took 460 of 932 votes, or 49.4%; while Frolik took 286 of 932 or 30.7%. Aleksandr Fyodorovich Rumevsky placed third with 186 votes or 19.9% of the vote. Rumevsky is reported to have resigned from the race and thrown his support, surprisingly, behind Frolik, which may cause the ballot process to go to ten ballots or beyond.

Fifth ballot in, Nemerov pulls off win

Bouri Andreyevich Nemerov has been elected as the primeval First Secretary of the UISR's history. The 60-year-old from Moscow captured 654 of the 932 elektoriyy votes, or 70.2% of the fifth ballot. Challenger Mikhail Frolik received the minority share.

The results were the second surprise in this elective process. The first was challenger Aleksandr Rumevsky throwing his support behind the second-place candidate instead of the favoured, first-place Nemerov after the fourth ballot. The results in this ballot were a surprise because it meant that many of Rumevsky's supporters separated themselves from his wishes for them to vote for Frolik.

Because of that, Nemerov is unlikely to name Rumevsky to any government positions, but that is yet to be determined, among all the other positions. Rumours are abound that Nemerov will choose Frolik for his Second Secretary.

We applaud this step towards a leadership in the UISR. However, we also hope for the speedy and ethical selection of the First Secretary. Once a Secretary is elected, the United Socialist Republic would like to open diplomatic relations with the UISR.

May peace and prosperity be upon the UISR...

The Untied Socialist Republic of Aztec National League

I personally extend my thanks to President Nochtli and accept his offer of diplomatic relations with the UISR. Communism must survive, and sticking together will ensure this.

Bouri Andreyevich Nemerov
First Secretary of the UISR

I am pleased to hear that the UISR has elected their First Secretary quickly and effectively. I have known Nemerov for several years - he truely is a good Communist and a devoted comrade. I hope our 'united coalition' will continue to have extensive ties with the UISR as the former Capitalist Republics enter a new era of freedom and prosperity. Good luck comrades.

Sincerely,
Premier Vladimir Troskin

Sanctioned Release, Prefecture of the First Secretary
Union of International Socialist Republics

I appreciate the warm comments of my dear friend, Comrade Troskin, a man whose comments could easily be fitting of himself just as he states them about myself. I am proud, overjoyed and humbled to have been selected as the Union of International Socialist Republics' first leader by such a confident, overwhelming majority of the elektoriyy here in the beautiful capital of Moscow.

I agree with your sentiments about the election process; I am equally pleased to see the process work so efficiently and quickly without any troubles or strifes, and on the first time. What an achievement of the Mezhadynars!

Immediately, I will set out on work to form the inaugural government of the U.I.S.R. and appoint the Premiers of the American ISR, Argentinian ISR, German ISR and Russian ISR, along with my executive branch and Second and Third Secretaries, and the other chief positions of the nation. I will also work hard in the immediate months to ensure the continuance of the social and economic fabric of our new union of nations, as one force of communism under the red banner.

I am proud to share this ideology with the UISR's new friends: the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the U.S.R. of the Aztec National League. May communism live forever and prosper among the free people of the world. I am eager to continue dialogue with fellow communist countries and establish permanent, mutual and warm relations between the UISR and those nations.

Above all, I pledge that I will not fail under communism and that the UISR will remain steadfast in its preaching of this ideology and its defence against counterinsurrection that the people of the nation have said they surely do not want. This union has proven its stability so early by electing me so early in the process of governmental change, and I am proud, as I said, to be in this position, and also to see such changes occur without issue.

Until the next time we speak, I wish all Comrades and brothers of communism around the world the best of luck, good health and prosperity. As the famous Soviet quote goes, "Proletarians of all countries, unite!"

Yours very sincerely,
Bouri Andreyevich Nemerov
First Secretary of the UISR

Bump

We denounce this undemocratic, socialist government. No system can be truely democratic unless there is proportional representation and it is for all people.

We have also attached a pamphlet on how preferential voting can be used to achieve the same result as the voting system used in the appointment, but more efficiently.

Thomas Goth
Chancellor for Foriegn Affairs

I would recommend to our new allies in the UISR to burn this facetious, fascist propaganda; Farmina will be democratic when all Roach-Busterians earn more than $1,000 a year - so never. I think Farmina has forgotten the communist coup was to implement a communist, undemocratic government. All neo-fascists are like that though, quicker with the acid than the olive branch.

Vasiliou Bandanaris
Agustinate of International Relations

And aren't all Roach-busterians paid more than a thousand dollars a year? I assure you that our system is truely democratic, even if you think not.

I would also like to point out that we shall never give friendship to an ideoleogy based on a government enslaving its own people. Communism is comparable to the Shooban slave trade.

Thomas Goth
Chancellor for Foriegn Affairs

Something your allies participate freely and happily in.
