SRN News, McKagan City - With the end of President Tony Johnsons' third and last term coming closer and closer, McKagan prepared for an election that would be monumental in almost every aspect of the nations future development, and also be the proving ground for the economic reform that took place under the Johnson administration. With Johnson serving all three of the available 3 year terms, it gave the McKagan Liberal Party (MLP) time to implement several new policies.

The most popular and widespread was the Church Reform Act, which forced all religious organizations that gained income to pay income tax during the 4th year of Johnsons presidency. This caused a massive drop in church attendance in McKagan already declining spiritual state.

Christian activists have declared this the last straw in McKagan, which has seen a droping number of Christians and a growing number of atheists. With several High Priests declaring McKagan has 1 year to change its ways or be destroyed in judgement day, the cultural war has reached a boiling point.

This sets the stage for the election. The major contestants were Robyn Cavalt of the McKagan Liberal Party, Rebecca Donald of the Christian Coalition, and Bob Wayford of the Socialist Party.

Socialism had never taken roots in McKagan. The Johnson Administration worked to destroy the social shock over Socialism, which in some nations was its only fuel. This was never created in McKagan, and Socialism is considered to be as "normal" as any other system. Because of this, it's support is growing slowly as any other faction.

The Christian Coalition was the last remaining remnants of several of McKagan's large conservative parties. They had joined after the Johnson Administration took power, but continued to lose ground.

With election day closing in the Socialist Party showed more strength that suspected and was even a possibility to knock the liberals out of power, but it wasn't meant to be.

With Robyn Cavalt taking 52% of the combined vote in what was promoted as a landslide election, all hope for Conservative McKagan has been lost.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing, as Cavalt comes from Kurora City (where she was mayor,) she is expected to finish up a diplomatic and foreign relations "wishlist" left over by Johnson. This wishlist includes forming alliances with many nations McKagan has had past relations with. This includes a vast number of those nations surrounding the Torontian Reunification Process, but other details are highly unknown. It is expected that The Cavalt Administration will highly promote these alliances after they are made.

Until then, we can only follow her public sucess in the run-up to the State of the Imperium Address.

[OOC: I know this isn't as good as it could have been, but I needed to do it all in one post and didn't feel like following the unfolding of the political situation all through these stages. Considering that this thread is way behind the time I should have made it anyway, I think it works. It's supposed to be considered an article that covers the timeline of the incident, and not really breaking news. Anyone is welcomed to make IC posts, OOC suggestions, or whatever.]

OOC: It's good, most democracies don't RP the change of power that is expected of them.

[OOC: Thanks. I decided it was best that I finally did it, even though I'd wanted to do it closer to the time Halberdgardia did like a few months ago. I'm still sort of unpleased with the post though. I was aiming for something like The Macabees or Sarzonia would do: But I needed to be economical.]

From: The Fascist Republic of Kravania

To: The People of McKagan

Kravania watches these developments with great interest.

It is our sincere hope that the Christian Coalition will one day become the supreme authority of McKagan and it's government.

People of McKagan, the Christian Coalition is the only hope for you and your childeren, for they shall save your nation from the global communist conspiracy. McKagan will only grow weaker under the Liberal Party and under the Socialist Party, expect nothing less than slavery and mass genocide, for they are the front of the communist plot.

The Christian Coalition will allow McKagan to grow strong under the eye of our common Creator and to help your nation rid itself of the vile homosexuals who lurk inside your nation. Homosexuals and Communists are in league with each other to undo all nations for their plan of a global genocide and thus open the path for their global tyranny.

Let McKagan free itself of the yoke of communist gangsterism and homosexual perversion and join the utopian Corporatist system that Kravania is itself blessed with.

[OOC: Thanks. It might be worth more than i'm giving it credit for. I guess I just wanted to compare it to another sort of post. Upcoming IC post.]

OOC: Good work, I'll soon be hopping on the bandwagon with my Prime Minister resigning and a neocon getting into power.

SEA:

Good to see you putting a conservative in power, the NS world is getting to leftist.

However, a state of war exists between Kravania and SEA, though as of yet no combat has occured between our two nations. Is this new neocon leader going to be pro-Kravanian or at least neutral on the rise of Corporatism in the NS world?

If so, Kravania will come to a peace treaty with SEA in IC terms.

[International Message from the Desk of Robyn Cavalt]

A few months ago I was walking through a bookstore in Kurora and I noticed a political comedy titled "101 Ways to Be Like the President of Halberdgardia." It looked like a decent read, so I bought it. It contains every debate between idiotic, religious dictators like you and the various Presidents of the Democratic Imperium of Halberdgardia. I must add, it is a great read. I suggest it to anyone looking for a great political satire.

More to the point, I enjoyed how the Halberdgardian's debated against people like you. So I have chosen to incorporate parts of their style into my own.

And it begins.


People of McKagan, the Christian Coalition is the only hope for you and your childeren, for they shall save your nation from the global communist conspiracy.

In my last statement, I established that I purchased a book. That is, I bought it with my own money. I didn't go to a universal library.

To that point, McKagan is a capitalist nation. Our Corporations buy and sell assets like any other capitalist nation. Citizens of this nation earn their own paycheck based on their own efforts.

I'd expect someone who earned the title "President for Life" to understand the difference between communism and capitalism. Did you earn that title, sir? Or was it given to you like a true communist would have?


McKagan will only grow weaker under the Liberal Party and under the Socialist Party, expect nothing less than slavery and mass genocide, for they are the front of the communist plot.

Futhermore, I'd expect someone who earned the title "President for Life" to be able to look at charts. The MLP has been in power for the last 9 years. During the time the value of the Makfia has risen by almost half it's value. To touch on the other accusations you make; how is giving homosexuals the right to marry the same as selling them into slavery? That is a freedom your nation lacks. In Kravania homosexuals are executed. Not only is that slavery, it is mass genocide.

The Christian Coalition will allow McKagan to grow strong under the eye of our common Creator and to help your nation rid itself of the vile homosexuals who lurk inside your nation. Homosexuals and Communists are in league with each other to undo all nations for their plan of a global genocide and thus open the path for their global tyranny.

Nations who allow homosexuality rarely try to force it upon other nations. That can hardly be said for those nations who worship their imaginary best friend when it comes to pushing their own views of "morality" upon everyone else.

[OOC: Kravania, I feel the RP'ing between our nations has gotten off to the wrong beat. I don't want to have it become some major dogpile between everyone who DOES support you and everyone who DOESN'T. Because of this, I'm going to retcon my support for TLA in that war. We'll go through whatever we do through various media lines and have it escalate into whatever happens; but I don't want it to be generic like every other time.]

(OOC)

McKagan:

I did NOT label your nation's government communist, Kravania made the point that the Socialist Party was a REAL threat of that occuring.

Pavelic was hinting at you banning that party and becoming a 'limited democracy', one that only tolerates different right wing parties but banning the leftist ones.

And you know I always RP homophobia, with everyone being so PC in NS.

Because of this, I'm going to retcon my support for TLA in that war.

OOC: Mckagan, I don’t think you should retrocon your secret involvement in the Kravania conflict. I would take this opportunity to RP your President IC deciding not to get involved any further and pull away (gives a chance to flesh out how she views the use of military force). That way the story stays intact and you can expand on your new character (and establish how she is different from the former President).

(OOC)

SEA:

Good to see you putting a conservative in power, the NS world is getting to leftist.

However, a state of war exists between Kravania and SEA, though as of yet no combat has occured between our two nations. Is this new neocon leader going to be pro-Kravanian or at least neutral on the rise of Corporatism in the NS world?

If so, Kravania will come to a peace treaty with SEA in IC terms.
[OOC: He will come into charge after my conflict I have gets resolved. He's going to be neutral on corporatism, but extremely militant, and he's going to alienate a lot of people, including his nation's closest allies, and I'm planning on getting my ass handed over to Automagfreek on a golden platter as to improve my military prose.]

(OOC)

McKagan:

I did NOT label your nation's government communist, Kravania made the point that the Socialist Party was a REAL threat of that occuring.


OOC: You made comments that McKagan was a front for communism; do you expect a capitalist nation to support communism? Also, the Socialist Party and the Liberal Party aren't the same thing; they compete with each other on a broad variety of things. They hardly "work together."

(OOC)

McKagan:

I was refering to the Socialist Party being a front for Communism.

Kravania views the Liberal Party as weak and not the best option for McKagan, but NOT communist.

Your nation is capitalist, but the Socialist Party, being 2nd place, have a very good chance at putting that at risk.

Re: Election Victory

On behalf of Halberdgardia and its people, allow me to congratulate you on your ascension to the noble office of the President of the Democratic Imperium of McKagan. Long have our nations cooperated on a wide variety of international and internal affairs, and I believe it is safe to say both our nations are much the better for it. I, for one, greatly look forward to working with you during your term as President and further strengthening Halberdgardian-McKagan relations, if such a thing is even possible. May God bless you and the people you serve.

From: The Fascist Republic of Kravania

To: McKagan

The Fascist Republic of Kravania does not consider your government or society to be communist, but rather a democratic capitalist one.

However, Kravania was making the point that the second largest party in McKagan, the Socialist Party, is a real threat and is a front for the global communist gangster conspiracy.

Kravania stands by the view that all homosexuals are evil and need to be dealt with in the most severe manner that one can execute.

Kravania urges the government of McKagan to wipe out the communists who reside from your nation and ban the Socialist Party.

It is Kravania's only wish to see that McKagan join forces with Kravania, Roach Busters, Parthia, Banduria and other esteemed members of the global anti-communist crusade in our soon to be won struggle against the global communist gangster conspiracy.

I'm glad you agree.

Kravania urges the government of McKagan to wipe out the communists who reside from your nation and ban the Socialist Party.

I don't agree with communism and feel it isn't a very good economic design. However, what makes McKagan a truly great country is that we don't discriminate or try to destroy anything. We don't ban political parties. If we did, we would probably ban the one that kills people in the name of someone who is, at best, overhyped and overrated and at worst never existed in the first place.

Kravania stands by the view that all homosexuals are evil and need to be dealt with in the most severe manner that one can execute.

Homosexuals simply have a different sexual preferance. It is beyond me why some nations and their leaders feel they need to legislate the bedroom. Futhermore, I do not recall a homosexual army trying to destroy anyone based on what they declare (in a biased manner) moral and/or immoral.

It is Kravania's only wish to see that McKagan join forces with Kravania, Roach Busters, Parthia, Banduria and other esteemed members of the global anti-communist crusade in our soon to be won struggle against the global communist gangster conspiracy.

Sorry. McKagan has deployed too many resources in fighting the global war on extreme religious terrorism to fight the 'evils of communism.' Maybe next year.

Robyn Cavalt, President of the Democratic Imperium of McKagan

Greetings Mrs. President,

While the United Sovereign Nations of Southeast Asia and the Democratic Imperium of McKagan have had little-to-no contact with each other, I nevertheless would like to send my most sincere congratulations and compliments to you, President Cavalt.

As my fellow ministers and countrymen have heard many good things about the Democratic Imperium of McKagan from their (and also our) friends in Halberdgardia, I wish to inform you that have had meetings discussing whether or not we should form Southeast Asian-McKagan ties....and at the rate your nation is going, I say that an embassy exchange is not too far off.

Yao Yang Nelson Neo

It is with great pride and pleasure that I thank you for your kind words. I have always recognized the importance of building international relations at a nearly constant rate. Some of the great and powerful nations of the world make an attempt at domination militarily only to be crushed by a coalition of nations that formed against them. I, although not planning world domination at this time, have an agenda of boosting McKagan foreign relations. While it is true that we have had no past relations, it is also true that you have had contact with McKagan's closest ally in Halberdgardia. Because of this, you'll be shocked to learn, you were placed on a list of nations I looked to pursue relations with. The fact that you mentioned this by yourself is a dream for me. If you have no objections, I believe we should set a time for a meeting between ourselves or our representatives.

Robyn Cavalt, President of the Democratic Imperium of McKagan

RE: Relations

Dear Mrs. President,

So a relationship is indeed forming - and much to both my surprise and pleasure, faster than expected. Do you mind coming over to Singapore in a confidential visit? Because I can't go over in an international visit - I have several things to attend to. Plus, even if I could and wanted to, I have to be on hiatus as a result of the anarchaic situation in the Glorious Confederacy of Leafanistan - my nation's consulate there is trapped. Would you accept a meeting in the capitol of the United Sovereign Nations?

Yours Truly,

A diplomatic visit is indeed a very good idea and the logical next step in a good relationship between our nations forming. Because of the war with Kravania, however, I have been forced to move to the McKagan Governmental Survival Facility. I suppose, however, that if you are going to be busy in the near future and immediately is the most opportune time for a meeting to occur I could have the MISA work on something. It's your call. Do you have a packed schedule upcoming or is anytime good?

Although We, The United Socialist States of Mirhuell, are essencially a socialist government, we also have a few Liberal Parties. Therefore we extend our congratulations for your election.

We would also like to offer an embassy exchange, in hopes that we could mutually help each other, for example: easier trade, exchange of production rights and, may this never happen, Military aid.

The prospect of forming an alliance with smaller nations is one that McKagan politicians love. It forms bonds with nations that will eventually grow into superpowers, and makes McKagan's economy grow. I am willing to authorize an embassy exchange and place Mirhuell on "Warm Neutral" relations.
