Amir Sharab stood and pounded on the fence post with his metal sledgehammer driving the fence post deeper and deeper into the dusty arabic soil. Amir was one of a good four thousand workers for the different political parties that were contesting the first ever elections for the national government and muncipal governments of the newly created state of Palestia Republic. After several more smacks of his metalic sledge hammer Amir wipped the back of his neck with a cool, wet cloth and closed his eyes as two women in Burgah's passed by and looked at the sign for the Palestia Islamist candidate in this region for the national assembly, Abil Mihid Sheik. Amir nodded to the two women before he walked down the street with three more fence posts that had Abil face and party on them.

In Ramallah, the capital, there was already several dozen fence signs and nearly four hundred posters in windows and on the side of buildings that proclaimed the three main political parties and about a good four smaller parties and independents that were running for seats. The campaign for the first ever elections would be extremely fierce as the different parties wanted to appeal to their select groups of people.

The political parties that are competeing for Palestia Republic national and municipal elections are;

Fariri Mahir Nationalist Party (FMNP);

The Fairi Mahir Nationalist Party is a national Palestia Republic political party that goes between all three communities in the Palestia Republic ethnic background, Christian, Jewish, and Islamists, and finds a nationalist ground for all Palestia citizens to be proud off. The FMNP also supports good outside relations with nations that would have 'good' relations with the Palestia national government as well as good trade relations based on respect.

Palestia Islamist;

The Palestia Islamist party believes that the correct religion is Islam and believes that all Palestia citizens should believe in Islam or leave the country willingly.

Al-Ahabarou Sunni Brotherhood;

The Al-Ahabarou Sunni Brotherhood is a political organization that courts the vote of Sunni Muslims in the Palestia Republic as well as other religious groups that are supportive of the Sunni Muslim majority in Palestia Republic. They are semi-Islamic, but they also support the existance of Christianity and Judaism in the territory of Palestia Republic as long as they have no churches or synagoges.

Smaller Political Parties:

Islamic Congress of Palestia Republic: (ICPR)

The Islamic Congress of Palestia Republic is a socialist, Islamist party that believes that through the use of socialism and the end of barbaric islamic practices like some forms of Sharia law, then the other religious communities of Palestia Republic would become muslim. They are also very isolationist and do not want to deal with other foreign nations.

Three Religions Party: (TRP)

The three religions party is a political and social organization that supports the communal and shared traditions of Christianity, Islam and Judaism as well as supports that all three work side by side to achieve a greater Palestia Republic.

Palestia National Republican Party: (PNRP)

Not much is known about the PNRP except they are extremely nationalist and isolationist.

Palestian Republic Fascist Party: (PRFP)

A middle-class fascist right-wing party.

Omar Khadr Falar stood at the podium for the Fariri Mahir Nationalist Party as their Presidential candidate as he spoke;

"Today the people of Palestia and the Palestia Republic will have to choose what kind of government they want to live with. Do they want a government that will assest the rights of the majority that is so well deserved, but will it also assist and allow flourish the rights of the minorities who should be allowed to live, work and play within the borders of the Palestia Republic. Do not vote for people who will bring fear, close our flourishing economy and scare away significant parts of our population because they do not believe their religion. So vote to be progressive, be fruitful and more importantly vote to have success for yourself and for the nation of the Palestia Republic."

Dinar Miarn stood and began to speak for the Al-Ahabarou Sunni Brotherhood;

"Listen my brother's and sisters. Islam is the main component of the makeup of our nation. However, Christians and Jewish members make up a significant portion of our nation as well and they should have their rights respected where they can freely practice their religion in their home and maintain good economic and job relations with the nation of Palestia Republic as well. The Al-Ahabarou Sunni Brotherhood believes that this way will maintain good economic, political and religious relations."

Omar Fa Hilan stood and spoke for the Palestia Islamist;

"We should not let the infidelic Christians and Jews run our lifes. Since we have achieved independence from the agressors and achieved the nationstate of Palestia Republic we do not need to pandle to minorities. The nation of Palestia Republic is formed on god will and our political and economic success is based on Allah and his true believers Islamic followers and has nothing to do with Palestia Christians and Jews. Therefore, they should either convert to the true religion or leave our great state."

To Commonwealth of Tolvan;
From Palestia Republic Foreign Affairs Office

The election of a minority for the FMNP means that it needs to find members to get a majority of 34. However, since some of the other smaller parties gained seats and the Al-Ahabarou Sunni Brotherhood are potential partners I do not believe we need to have any Palestia Islamist representation in the national government however, in the municipal that cannot be the same for municipal elections.

In the capital of Ramallah there was celebrations as men, women and boys danced in the street lighting off fire crackers in the northern end of town. However, in the southern end of the capital city a family of four driving down with the FMNP flag tied to the top of the car were stopped at a check point by two heavily armed police officers (not police).

"Why do you have the flag of the zealots and traitors?"

"Because this allows for the people of Palestia Republic to live in freedom."

"Oh really!"

With that statement the two armed men pulled out pistols and began shooting at the vehicle as it drove through the checkpoint. Nearby police units ran to the scene where they were engaged with five men instead of two. After a quick ten minute shoot out the gun battle was over with;

1 police officer (Asnatilarn (Jewish) Rosinberg, 28) dead in the street with two of the gunmen wounded and three out of five arrested, including both wounded gunmen, along with one other police officer and three of four vehicle occupants wounded.

To the Commonwealth of Tolvan
From Palestia Republic Foreign Affairs Office

The nation of Palestia Republic would like to thank the kind words of the commonwealth for the election that occured in our nation and we believe that the FMNP only needs 34 seats to have a slim minority and we are glad that smaller political parties and the Al-Ahabarou Sunni Brotherhood are potential political party partners to ensure the running of this government. Therefore, it is probably likely that we will not need the Palestia Islamist to take part in the national governing of the nation of Palestia Republic as they did not gain enough seats to win and their presidential candidate lost as well in the Presidential elections. Finally, however, the Palestia Islamist did well in the municipal governments and we cannot trammple on democracy and therefore their majority in municipal elections should be respected. So we again would like to thank your support and hope to have good relations with Tolvan.
