After 74 years of authoritarian rule by five emperors, The Confederate Imperium of Okielahoma is braced for its first elections in more than seven decades. The root of the change comes from the Danteri conflict, which spanned from 1974-1986 and again from 1993-2002. In the latter conflict the last emperor, Adam West, brutally executed hundreds of Danteri civilians and Okiean dissenters. Likewise when he was found murdered by his own son, the people cried out for change. Five candidates have emerged and filed the required paperwork to participate in these elections. Their profiles and platforms, along with miscellaneous statistics, are below for your required reading to vote as an international nation.

RE: Election Support

Greetings,

It would seem that Okielahoma has taken the first of many steps in the right direction by choosing democracy against dictatorship. Now, we hope that the Okiean people will make one more good choice and elect you as it seems you are a good man with good ideas.

If the law in Okielahoma permits it, we would like to make a monetary donation to your campaign.

Regards,
Elijah Ingraham, Secretary of State, United States of Luslyvania

OOC: Bah, I don't like any of these candidates... where's the nice, not crazy liberal?

OOC: Bah, I don't like any of these candidates... where's the nice, not crazy liberal?

OOC:

Nowhere...just like in real life....j/k. I'm pretty sure there's enough crazy to go around in that candidate list already.

"Democracy.... what a... quaint idea. Although (to be fair) not worse than a dictatorship. In practice, however, I see little difference between giving the reins of power to a single unpredictable individual and an equally unpredictable mob."
