Robert Plant was tired, he had been facing too much war. He decided to make an announcment

On nearly every station that night...

We interupt your current program for this broadcast of Prime Minister Robert Plant

"Good Evening people of Palixia:

As you know, I have been very unwell for some time now and as a consequence, feel that I am unable to work for Palixia any longer.

This was not an easy decision and took a lot of consideration. However, please be assured that I will do all I can to assist in the smooth transfer of my responsibilities before leaving.

I wish both you and Palixia every good fortune and I would like to thank you for having me as your Prime Minister for these 5 years, I would like to call, as my final act, a presidential election.

Thank you and Good Night"

The people of Palixia were in shock. Though almost as soon as the broadcast ended, canidates were lining up for the next Prime Minister, the canidates and their parties are as followed.

Leon Mikhail - Socialist Party of Palixia
Ben Cutler - Floydian Theocratic Party
Rich Boynton - Republican Party
Steve Slusher - Democratic Party
Charles Rock - Liberal Conservative Party
Cindy Malek - Centrists' Party
-----------
The Results are in, the next Prime Minister of Palixia will be Leon Mikhail of the Socialist Party, making him the first Socilaist Prime Minister of Palixia ever.
----------
His first act was to create a more Socialistic National Anthem and a new flag

Hail Palixia!
The people's flag is deepest red,
It shrouded oft our martyr'd dead
And ere their limbs grew stiff and cold,
Their hearts' blood dyed its ev'ry fold.
Then raise the scarlet standard high,
Within its shade we'll live and die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the red flag flying here.
Look round, the Palixian loves its blaze,
The sturdy Palixian chants its praise,
In Moscow's vaults its hymns are sung,
the West swells the surging throng.
It waved above our infant might
When all ahead seemed dark as night;
It witnessed many a deed and vow,
We must not change its colour now.
It well recalls the triumphs past;
It gives the hope of peace at last:
The banner bright, the symbol plain,
Of human right and human gain.
It suits today the meek and base,
Whose minds are fixed on pelf and place,
To cringe before the rich man's frown
And haul the sacred emblem down.
With heads uncovered swear we all
To bear it onward till we fall.
Come dungeon dark or gallows grim,
This song shall be our parting hymn.
---------

To: Government of Palixia

Clearly you are another example as to why the common man is unfit to decide his form of government. Once again the communist beast claws power to itself, unheeding of the cries of all right-thinking people around the world, uncaring of its own internal rot that destroys all nations where it is allowed to fester unchecked.

Hear this, Marxist scum. You are unfit to rule any nation, and we can only hope that your government collapses from its own weakness as quickly as possible. From this day forward, until a government that can truly be said to serve its nation is elected or otherwise installed, Helfaer refuses to recognise as sovereign the foolish nation of Palixia. Your pewling cries are no longer those of a nation, merely those of a sick, disturbed, childish man, undeserving of power, whining in self-inflicted agony.

Meanwhile, we urge those still possessing independent thought to rise up, take to the streets, cast the first stone against the tyrant before his iron grip becomes to strong, for it will, squeezing the life out of your nation. Such is the way of all communist leaders: Stalin, Lenin, Mao: tyrants all, and the ones who drove once-great nations to destruction. It will be the new anthem and flag first, indoctrinating the people into a conspiracy they cannot fathom, and then slowly all rights will be removed, draining away like sand from an hourglass. Rise up now, before it is too late!

K. Almarxa, Foreign Affairs Minister, Helfaer
