Throughout both Farmina and New Kingdom, great wheels with the final arrival of New Kingdom’s Election Day.
In Farmina, Emperor Justinian was covering the radio frequencies declaring Election Day’s final arrival, a complete vindication of his hard-line stance on the left.
“Kingdomites, myself and countless others, have worked towards this day for three months,” began Governor Jefferson over the New Kingdom radio frequencies, “Today the Kingdomites get to decide their own future, by a democratic process, as Emperor Justinian was greatly dedicated to. It has been only three months since the fall of Random Kingdom, but already a great nation can be seen emerging from the ashes. One of the ballots today will determine if New Kingdom will remain so, or yet another name will be chosen. I ask one thing, for the Kingdomites to validate the victory or democracy and capitalism, over tyranny and socialism, by voting today, in the name of their nation.”
New Kingdom was under complete lockdown, with two million Farminan troops alone, not including Kingdomite, Celtayoshi and Wolfish forces. Tanks patrolled the streets as polling stations looked like mini fortresses with guards, sensors and sniffer dogs.
The streets were quiet, but not empty as even the resistance called on the public to vote Liberal and Farminan forces praised the conservatives for their forward thinking.
The voting began at eight o’clock sharp. Soon Random Kingdom or New Kingdom would learn its future.
