Breaking News - Yesterday the Communist Party of Prevostiana (CPP) won the federal election by a majority with 76% of the vote. Their first action was a vote in parliament to.. dissolve its self. This vote passed 143 - 83. CPP leader Ralph Goodman had this to say...

"We've been through some hard times lately, one where important decisions aren't made in time because parliament spends months arguing about it before doing anything about it. We need a system where these decisions can be made now. So the people can benefit from them now. The parliament will be replaced with the Congress of the Communist Party. Here, the party will vote on issues much more efficiently then the old parliament did."

The reactions of the people of Prevostiana have been positive. This is one persons opinion...

"I think this new government will improve our country. If they can make decisions with speed, and put them into effect fast. We might have a chance at rebuilding our crippled economy."

Another thing Ralph Goodman promised was to dissolve the Prevostian Empire, and replace it with something that treats all the nations equally.

"The Prevostian Empire was formed with the idea that all countries within it would have total control over their own affairs. But in past years Prevostiana has dictated these countries." is what he had to say when addressing the issue before the election.

He also had to deal with accusations from the UN that the CPP has turned Prevostiana into a dictatorship. Which he responded with...

"The CPP has not turned Prevostiana into a dictatorship. No one person can dictate our country, all decisions are made by the CPP as an organ. We urge that other countries not take the same stance that the United Nations has."

Article by Sarah Heart of the Prevostian Times.

"We denounce these elections as blatantly fraudulent and demand that new ones be held. There is no way Marxist-Leninist gangsters could freely and fairly win an election. Undoubtedly, terrorism and electoral fraud are what ensured the victory. We demand that you hold new elections, this time with international observers present. Failure to comply will result in a total embargo on all Prevostian goods, and possibly a blockade. You have been warned."

--Minister of Foreign Affairs Chong Moua--

Letter to the Prevostian Times by an International reader

What is so bad about a dictator? Can not a dictator, if he is good, be a far better ruler of a nation than say a hundred corrupt politicians? I live in a nation with a dictator and my fellow citizens and I are allowed great freedoms, our economy is strong, the air is clean, the environment is intact, all is well. And not only does our dictator make decisions that are good for the nation but his long reign has brought great stability that nations that change leaders every few years lack.

To the The Holy Empire of Magdha

The Communist Party has always had strong support. But after recent economic problems and other affairs support for the previous government led by the Workers Socialist Party gave way. The people saw the CPP as a new choice. As for your demands, we will not waste our peoples money on another election when it could be spent on bettering our social services. Our elections are not an international affair. We assure you they were conducted fairly.

Official Message of the Sultanate

We believe in the right of every nation to hold it's own government, whether that be democratic, autocratic, monarchial, or otherwise.

We do, however, caution the Communist party of Prevostiana against supressing civilians like communist states of old, because we know how they ended up.

The people of Prevostiana have chosen a Communist government, so why should they not have one?

Official Communique From The Roman Government

"If the Communist Party of Prevostiana claims itself as a democratic party, we find it 'intriguing' that it feels the need to dissolve the basic organ of democratic society, namely, the Parliament. If Prevostiana's Parliamentary system is not working to the benefit of the people then it should be reformed, not dissolved. A Parliament is necessary for every side of the nation to be heard so that the best possible decision can be made for the country. Thus, we are afraid that the people of Prevostiana are being woefully underserved.

"We therefore implore that the CPP rethink its actions and restore the Parliament, and that it makes assurances that elections will be held in the future."

good for you! the imperial crown collapsed and was replaced only 5 days ago and people have already gained the right to vote (for approved canidates), a tax cut and better safety testing for products.

Dear Sarah Heart

I am very pleased to hear that you will be publishing my letter. I enjoy my long time reading of the Prevostian Times and am happy to hear that my input is appreciated. I have always found your paper to be very impartial and just report the facts and views of the people. I hope that the CPP leads Prevostiana and its people to a better future. Hopefully the errors of previous nations will allow them the greatest success.

Reply from the CPP

We achieved what we have through democracy, we don't claim to be democratic. The party made it clear throughout campaigning that our goal was to create a one party system. Where members of our party represent the people, and to have enough members of the party in congress to represent all people to their best interests. However, if the people eventually show that they've lost faith in our government an emergency parliament will be established to decide if there should be an election. To determine if our government should be replaced or not. However, we will look into ways that other groups or parties voices can still be heard.

Also if these matters escilate, you have our military support as well:sniper: :mp5: :gundge:

Message from the People's Republic of Kilani

Although we are glad to see another nation turning to International Socialism, we are somewhat displeased to see that it is being ruled by a dictator . True communism is rule by the people, not being ruled over by one man. You may as well be back in the days when kings and queens ruled through 'divine right'. Although the Communist Party of Kilani is in the majority in Kilani, we do have other parties including capitalist ones.

As such we are hesitant to give our support to you.

Personally, I am a staunch supporter of communism. I was in the military in Russia for a good few years. The great majority of Russians are communist and want a communist government back.
I have studied up on this subject, and if it works like it should... Communism is overall the best. It just be comes corrupt when outside nations interfere with its' operation.
So, yea for communism!

[Press Release from the Department of Foreign Affairs]

"The Militant Imperium of Tyrandis denounces the high-handed actions of the Prevostian communist government in the strongest possible terms. This atrocious violation of the principle of popular sovereignity is completely unacceptable in the eyes of our country, and indeed the world. As such, Tyrandis hereby declares its refusal to recognize the de facto government in power. Furthermore, economic sanctions will be erected against the Prevostian state as a whole until the Parliament is restored to its previous legislative capacity.

Finally, Tyrandis encourages all domestic opponents of the criminal regime in power to actively seek its overthrow through any means necessary."

Message from the CPP

The Congress of the CPP functions off representatives of individual ridings. Prevostiana has 453 ridings, the Congress has 453 seats. Each representative is elected by the people of the riding they're running for. Thus the representatives are the voices of the people, which are heard in Congress.

Addressing economic threats. Prevostiana only trades with members of its empire. We do this in order to avoid dependencies with other nations. The only thing our economy is dependent on is our people.

--Minister of Foreign Affairs Karen Smith

New Socialist Province Minister of Foreign Affairs

Having had a long time alliance with Prevostiana. We know they genuinely care about their people. Being a democratic nation ourself, we approve of their new system and we think there is a great chance it will work. If it doesn't, we trust them to fall back to democracy. We just hope other nations will respect their sovereignty. They are a peaceful nation, and are no threat to others. Although they will not take an attack lightly, and neither will we.

Bob Clark
