Hindustani and English Declared Offical Languages of Pakistan

Parliament has decided (327 for, 301 against, 22 abstaining) to make Hindustani and English the official languages of Pakistan. Hindustani is basically Urdu and Hindi, which are so similar they can be regarded as a single language (the second or third most widely spoken language in the world, after Mandarin Chinese and possibly English). Under the new legislation, all documents must be in Hindustani (in both the Urdu Nasta'liq script and the Hindi Devangari script), and all school children must be taught each language. The two languages were chosen for National Language positions for their own reasons. Hindustani because it is the linga franca of all of Pakistan (and because it is the natural language of the majority of people in Northwest Pakistan), and English because of Historical reasons, Pakistan's membership in the commonwealth, and the fact that it is also a lingua franca of the country as well.

OOC: It represents the religions in Pakistan. The orange represents the Hindus, the green the muslims, and the white all the other stuff.

Wasn't sure if it was supposed to show proportion or if it was just hastily made.

March 24 1953

The Asian Space Programme's first launch was a certified succes as the Gio Dong module contaning various Hi tech electronic sensors was launched from the Asian Space Agency's launch facility at Hat Yai in Thailand via a Korean Sejong IRBM.

The launch went off without a hitch and the module, which contained a radio transmitter and reciever and several sensors for studying conditions in near earth orbit, achived sub orbital altitudes over mianland China before and landing in the middle of the sea of Japan.

Whilst in flight communication between the module and a series of purpose built ASA tacking stations, built in member countries, was achieved.

The next launch is scheduled for April 3

Wasn't sure if it was supposed to show proportion or if it was just hastily made.

Are you trying to say that you don't think I put thought into my flags?

Effort isnt critical if the government changes every few days.

1954 Elections

Due to the formation of a new country, with a different government system in place, it was decided to hold early elections in 1954. Some changes from the previous elections:


Parliament has been renamed the Majlis-e-Shoora (Council of Advisers), although it will probably still just be referred to as Parliament by most.
Parliament has been split into two chambers, the Senate (Upper House), and the National Assembly (Lower House).
The amount of seats in the Senate shall be 100.
The amount of seats in the National Assembly shall be 400.


So, without further ado, the results of the 1954 Nationwide Elections. 235,023,651 people turned out for the elections, out of 301,604,526 able to vote, putting the turn-out at a healthy 77.92%.

Senate
Indian Imperialist Party: 32 seats (32%)
Satyagraha Party:29 seats (29%)
Muslim League: 23 seats (23%)
Socialist Congress of India:13 seats (13%)
Zoroastrian League: 3 seats (3%)
Independent: 0 seats (0%)

National Assembly
Indian Imperialist Party: 137 seats (34.25%)
Satyagraha Party: 96 seats (24%)
Muslim League: 76 (19%)
Socialist Congress of India: 54 (13.5%)
Zoroastrian League: 37 (9.25)
Independent: 1 seat (.25%)

President:
Ayub Khan (Indian Imperialist Party): 36.61%
Jawaharlal Nehru (Satyagraha Party): 30.32%
Bhagat Singh (Socialist Congress of India): 13.48%
Liaquat Ali Khan (Muslim League): 13.07%
Homi J. Bhabha (Zoroastrian League): 6.52%

As you can see, the right-wing coalition has lost some of it's support amongst the people of Pakistan. This is mostly due to even though Pakistans economy has been growing at break-neck speeds, few social benefits are trickling down to the people. The center-left Satyagraha Party made surprising gains, some of which can be attributed to its merger with the New Congress Party. The surprise victory of this election, though, belongs to the Zoroastrian League, which for a party this new and targeting such a small group made surprising gains. While the right still has a majority in Parliament, it seems that the center-left is rapidly gaining support.

Pakistan Announces Sale of AK-47's

During the FAS civil war, over 3,000,000 AK-47's were produced. In the aftermath of said war, there are over 2 million Surplus AK's. Therefore, the Pakistani government has decided to sell these surplus AK's at very low prices (500,000 for 1 point). The Pakistani government markets the AK's as a reliable alternative to European-made assault rifles, which can be bulky, expensive, and difficult for novices to use. The AK, on the other hand, is light, cheap, and simple to use and maintain.

The results of the 1956 Nationwide Elections. 215,124,165 people turned out for the elections, out of 312,134,543 able to vote, putting the turn-out at a moderately good 68.92%.

As you can see, the right-wing coalition has lost much of it's support amongst the people of Pakistan. This is mostly due to even though Pakistans economy has been growing at break-neck speeds, few social benefits are trickling down to the people. The center-left Satyagraha Party came in first in both houses and the Presidential election, showing much will amongst the people of India for the government to spend more on social spending. The surprise victory of this election, though, belongs to the CPP(T), which seems to be the most sucessful Communist party in the world at the moment. The right has lost it's control of Parliament, and now the Majlis-e-Shoora is in the control of the Leftists.

The results of the 1960 Nationwide Elections. 245,232,493 people turned out for the elections, out of 352,404,340 able to vote, putting the turn-out at a moderately good 69.58%.

The balance of power has shifted further to the left, as the Satyagraha Party and the Communists have solidified their control of Parliament. This is mostly attributed towards the increased Social Spending of the new government, which helped them gain seats (especially the Communists, whose support in the southern, eastern, and the baluch areas of Pakistan have helped them gain seats, as well as their rising support in the other provinces).

OOC: Good to see the old Rebellion gaining foothold :)

I wonder if the parlament would eventually lift the ban on the leaders of the Socialist movement.

OOC: They're all too old for politics now :p. Or they're dead.

Also, the difference between these leaders and those is that these started a war with the main government; these are coming to power through peaceful means.

*Gulp* Communizm (doesn't quite sound as nice as capitalizm)

IC: Seeing the upswing in Communist power, the following occurs in Russia:
-The PRU (Party for the Restoration of the Union, the only signifigant Communist party left in Russia) takes on a pro-SCT stance, gaining limited support in the new Tuva Autonomous Republic, where many SCT (USEA) funded rebels have retreated.
-Rightist and Centrist groups take this as even more concerning news. The SCT tries to fund rebellions in Siberia, then a member nation has Communist groups controlling over thirty percent of their legislature. Most groups calling for reconciliation with the SCT are quieter in their calls, though far from silent.

(OOC: Many Russians view the enitre SCT of guilty for Siberia's "incidents" even if only one nation participated.)

But still worthy porpaganda...

This election, the balance of power has shifted, but instead of being between the right and the left, its within the left. The radical communist party is beginning to loose steam, and the Satyagraha Party has begun to gain more support. It appears with the upsurge in violence in nearby regions, the Pakistani people wish to elect a more moderate government, in an attempt to try and keep Pakistan out of any war in the nearby future.

Ban Toi Heavy Manufacturing armanments division request meeting with senior Kalashnikov officials concerning the possibility of licenseing the AK-47 and AKM for domestic manufacture in Indochina.

the Kim Government comes forward to the Kalashnikov Group and makes a similar offer to license the gu for production by government armories and by private makers (i.e. Daewoo, Established a little earlier in this time).

The Kalashnikov Group is willing to liscense the AK-47 1952, 7.62 × 39 mm and the RPK Light Machine Guns to the Ban Toi Heavy Manufacturing Armaments Division and to the Government of Korea. However, there are some small restrictions; these are the only Kalashnikov weapon you can produce, and although you are allowed to create modified versions (OOC: Like the Chinese Type 56 Assault Rifle), the liscenses for these weapons are instantly liscened to our company (seeing how they are based off of our designs). If you are willing to follow these restrictions, the liscenses are yours.

(OOC: Re-posted from NPC thread)

The government of Pakistan contacts the government of Portugal concerning the status of Goa. Pakistan offers a plan whereby Goa shall be handed over to the Republic of Pakistan in 10 years. When Goa is handed over, it shall be a Special Administrative Region; it responsible for all issues except acts of state like diplomatic relations and national defence: consequently, it will have it's own judiciaries and courts of final appeal, it's own legislature, immigration policies, currencies and extradition processes. The pre-existing legal systems, namely Portuguese law, will be preserved except consequential to establishment of courts of final appeal.

It will empowered to contract a wide range of agreements with other countries and territories such as mutual abolition of visa requirement, mutual legal aid, air services, extradition, handling of double taxation and others. In diplomatic talks involving it, the SAR concerned may send officials to be part of the Pakistani delegation.

The Pakistani Army shall be garrisoned in the SAR. The garrison and its members must obey all SAR laws as well as national laws applicable to them. They will not participate in the governance of the SAR but the SAR may send for them in times of emergency such as natural disasters. According to the basic laws, defence is the responsibility of the Central Government. There shall be no law providing for enrollment Goa residents in the forces during ordinary times.

The SAR shall issue passports on its own, only to its permanent residents who are concurrently nationals of the Republic, that is, Pakistani nationals satisfying one of the following conditions:


born in the SAR;
born anywhere while either parent was a permanent resident of the SAR;
resided continuously for seven or more years in the SAR.


Apart from affording the holder consular protection by the Republic of Pakistan, these passports shall also specify that the holder has right of abode in the issuing SAR.

ooc
my view is that Portugal would go for that as it certainly can't defend it anyway

The Ban Toi Heavy Manufacturing Armaments Division agrees to these terms and thanks The Kalashnikov group for it's generosity.
