OOC: This thread is a follow up to the end of my revolution, here i decide what kind of government i will be run by.

IC:

Vladimir Ivanov, Director of ANZ was standing on top of a tall wooden podeum placed in front of Kremlin in Voronej. In front of him were hundreds of reporters, cameras were rolling, pictures were taken and correspondets from news channels all over the world were ready to listen with a notebook computer, and a microphone. Everybody awaited to hear Vladimir's voice with anticipation.

Vladimir: Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, citizens of this great nation and representatives of the global community today we begin a process that will bring this land back to the peak of its power. I do not come to you as someone who wishes to rule you, i come here as a medium, i will do everything that i physically can to help reflect your thoughts on how this nation is run. After my job is done and a leader is elected, i will retire to my other duties. Me and other Directors of Agenstvo Natsionalhoye Zashiti, have been working on ways of how to better organize this process we are about to begin. We believe that our method will be sufficient in allowing you, the people of this nation to let us know how this nation should be ran. Our plan is as follows:

Point 1: Before the election of a new government lands of Pushkan Federation and Cottish Republic will be under jurisdiction of the Directorate of ANZ.

Point 2: A representative from each district of Pushkan Federation and Cottish Republic will be elected by the permanent residents of that district.

Point 3: The representatives once elected will be transported to Voronej there he/she will be isolated from the public and attend a series of closed door meetings with the end results of:

I. Selecting the type of government this nation will be run by
II. Creating a constitution for this nation


Point 4: Once the Constitution has been created and the government type has been decided on the Directorate of ANZ will step down.

The elections for the district representative will begin a month from now, each district will have to have atleast two candidates and two media covered political debates between the candidates on various issues concerning the district in question and more global matters.

Good night, and good luck my fellow citizens, tomorrow you shall wake up to a brighter future.

"This is interesting....."

"My sentiments exactly, Comrade Premier. While they may not be The UCR anymore, they have not become the nationalistic threat that we were concerned about."

Kristan Zhao nodded as he poured over the Foreign Ministry report about the Pushkan Federation; apparently the civil war had been ended by the timely intervention of an organisation called Agenstvo Natsionalhoye Zashiti. Although the United Eastasian Republic had been hoping for an alliance with the Union of Communist Republics, that possibility now seemed gone forever. However, although the UER was now left as the world's only Communist state, they were not totally giving up on the idea of cooperation with the Pushkans.

"Observe the situation, and keep me informed."

Bjornoyan Patriarch Sedaht Rand had been watching his super-power of a neighbor nervously. The revolution left many dead, and he wondered what type of government would emerge from such a violent seed. But then again, in order to become better, in order to become more, a nation had to change, it was a natural prerogative.

The Patriarch had been trying to pull strings throughout the revolution, with no success. All he and his nation could do now was wait, watch, and cross their fingers. The government established in Pushka could either lead to a thousand years of fruitful prosperity between these two countries, or a decade of violence and decay.

Several months have passed. The representatives from each district were elected and sent to Voronej there they were working on completing the goals set up by Vladimir Ivanov. Finally they did, and once again Vladimir was standing on a podeum on the steps of Kremlin in Voronej, ready to tell the people about their future.

"Today, at 4 o'clock in the morning i received a phone call from the National Committee. It seems amazing to me that such a simple thing as a phone call can change history.

Right now in my hands i hold our future. This set of documets will give us hope and order. Without further interruptions, i give you ladies and gentlemen the National Committee draft # 41."

On the TV screens all over the globe the following text appeared.
