Oslea elects a new leader - but maybe for the worst.

Oslea
06-04-2007, 07:12
In light of the recent government scandal that faced former PM Joseph Hartnall and destroyed his political career, Oslea has had to elect a new leader to Parliament. Little did Oslea's citizens know, however, they would usher Oslea into a new era, from its capitalist government to a... Fascist Dictatorial Empire.

Charles Zeitrer, leader of the Oslea People's Christian Party (OPCP), had 63% of Oslea's vote. Since Oslea was predominantly Christian, and Oslea's citizens were angered at the scandal over cigarette companies starting the Honako-Oslea conflict with the objective being cigarette companies' profits will rise, electing Zeitrer was easy.

As soon as he was elected, though, he did what Oslea did not expect. He kept freedom of the press, (to a certain level) actually allowed criticism of his government, and various other people's rights, but he wanted people to strictly follow the Lord. Therefore, he put homosexuals in "rehabilitation camps" and rounded up atheists and non-Christians in rehab camps was well. Rumors are abound that these citizens are actually manufacturing ammunition for the Oslean military, until they agree to being converted into Christians. There are also stories of people who resisted Oslean military, were cruelly run down by Oslean M1A1 Abrams tanks. Apache gunships and F-26 Hydras also destroyed the many other religious buildings such as Mosques and Temples, to erase their influence on Oslea. Many non-Christian religious leaders were found and executed by Oslean Corporals. An era of religious genocide had begun.

No one was exempt from this horror. Government officials and army personnel were also sent to the rehab camps, expected to return as Christians.

Zeitrer immediately dissolved the Senate and instead appointed advisors to help plan his decisions. He then officially proclaimed himself "Emperor Charles Zeitrer the 1st, of the Oslean Empire," and took away the right to vote for the national leader. The dark days of the Oslean Empire were back.

Zeitrer knew that his actions would make him unpopular, unless he did something. He immediately announced that the newly christened Oslean Royal Military ("Royals") would crack down on organized crime and gangs, and would jail anyone who was involved with them. He didn't specify the consequences, but the thought of what he might do was terrifying.

He also declared that all forms of Christianity would be endorsed by the Empire, whether Catholic or Protestant, and that he would increase funding for those respecive areas. He also forced companies to start sharing profits, erasing the base of capitalism of the former regime. Zeitrer would also welcome Christian homeless into newly built government-run shelters, and provide food and shelter for them, and even help them find a job while they stay there. He often posed with children, giving them candy, for newspapers to print.

Emperor Zeitrer's contributions to society were highly heralded in the media, but his atrocious acts, less so. People knew of them, but they did not care, as they thought Oslea was heading into a new, better direction of less crime and a more moral and peaceful society, with less greed. Little did they know that was not true. Emperor Zeitrer had already won the hearts and minds of many Osleans. It may be too late.

Greetings,

The Errikan Empire, while supportive of fellow Christian nations and your devotion to stopping crime, can not defend your oppression of the economic rights of your citizenry and removal of basic political rights that form the foundation of free society. We, while recognizing your nation's rights to do as it will, advise you to temper your actions in this regard.

This response is directed at Errikland's comment.

The Dictatorship of Bomble has a similar governmental structure to that of Oslea - minus the religious fanaticism. The people of Bomble have little say in the running of the country, and definately no say in who is elected to power. Most real estate is owned by the government, providing a healthy income. We advise you not to intervene in Oslea's national affairs - it is obvious that whatever you do, short of war, will not affect the management of Oslea itself.

Regards,

Zachary Plumbob,
Acting Foreign Affairs Minister

We appriciate your concern, but we must tell you that we were in no way attempting to interfere with their affairs, but merely giving them advice. Already we have established our position of opposition to intervention because of domestic issues, believing that the rights of sovereignty are sacrosanct.

OOC: What would you be planning? Just toppling their government, or setting up a new one as well? Or perhaps conquest? Or perhaps you just plan to fight them 'til your economy gives out?

OOC: South Lizasauria has a similar government.

IC:

South Lizasuria's government is glad to see that Oslea is going in the right direction by taking Godly courses of action and is glad that it has seen the goodness of fascism. We are also glad that you are waging war on crime or all sort. South Lizasauria would like to sell you weapons for defense and to crack down on crime with.

Additional: The current South Lizasaurian chancellor would like to suggest a alliance between all the fascist nations with governments similar to Oslea's new one.

I agree. Us fascists should create an alliance. We are always under attack by everyone, as both commies and capitalists hate us. If we band together, we can survive.

IC:

South Lizasauria proposes that all fascist nations with governments similar to our own and Oslea's form an alliance called the Fascist dominion. Here we shall defend ourselves from those who want to destroy fascism, it is only through fascism that a caring government can limit the rights of its people in ways necessary to make sure they don't hurt themselves or others.

OOC: Let's make a thread about the founding of the Fascist Dominion. The fascists here and on the II forum can join.

OOC: Its hard to describe my government, essentially its a military dictatorship but we do care for the needs of our people. Military service is mandatory for the first 3 years out of highschool and the highest paying jobs not in the military are usually with defense contractors and the like. We are a very military and defense oriented society.

OOC: Oslea and I have been enemies since the Honako conflict when he killed thousands of innocents with an anthrax attack. I then had his delegate to the peace conference brutally murdered. But thats not enough to compensate for the loss of so many. His people will learn what its liek to lose so many innocents. The remaining will form the new government I have already proposed.

Official Statement of the Empire of Oslea

To Errikland:

While we take Errikland's concerns to heart, we believe we must stand our ground. We must show the world the greatness of our Lord, but you must understand, some people are not willing to listen. That is why we are directing them towards the Gates of Heaven with our military. They will thank us when the meet our Lord in his Kingdom.

--
To all nations that have requested an alliance with other fascist nations, along with Oslea:

We appreciate your support, and it is good to see that other nation's leaders are intelligent enough to use fascism as their government type. We support the idea of creating an alliance between one another, while we cannot arrange that right now due to the huge burden it would place on our already busy government.

--
To Droskianishk:

We spit on your so-called economic sanctions. The people of the Oslean Empire do not need your trade. Our people placed in rehabilitation camps will be released as soon as they declare they will follow God.

--
To South Lizasauria:

Our weapons production facilities coupled with our adequate imports give us enough weapons to defend and protect the Oslean populace with. We appreciate the offer, though, and may call on you in a time of need.

As a token of goodwill we will allow your soldiers and police officers to train alongside Oslean personnel.

Mrs. Bourla Parkins sighed rather dramatically as she was informed of the news in Oslea by the Commission. There were two things that she ranked as major causes for war, disharmony in nations, and terrible genocides of the populous that Oslea had now adopted; fascism and becoming obsessively religious. Upon hearing of the news that Oslea were electing a new leader she was happy, she thought they could put the whole conflict behind them and develop relations with a stable friendly leadership. It looked like a conflict of interests between her and their newly appointed religion crazed leader would make peace between the two nations a little more difficult.

But, she would try and at least sound content with what was going on in Oslea, even if inside her feelings were far more sinister.

TO: Charles Zeitrer

The Honako Commission is pleased that the corrupt government of the past Oslea has been removed and replaced, though we can see that maybe our governments share different views - religion is not a big thing in Honako - we hope we can continue peaceful relations after the terrible war that has recently ended.

Mrs. Bourla Parkins,
High Commissioner of Honako
