A servant at Provoçe's country villa knocked on the hard wooden door into Provoçe's office where retired earlier then usual last night. The servant knocked on the door again after the first which which she recieved no reply

"Hello? Comrade Presdient?" said the servant lady cautiously

She ran the fetched Provoçe's personel doctor and 2 of his body guards, The doctor then knocked on the door

"Comrade President? Comrade President are you alright?" the doctor knocked again. Their faces were pale, thier hearts sank and servant lady was trying to hold back the tears

one of the body guards cautiously opened the door. it was not locked.

Provoçe was slumped over his desk, arms outstretched over the surface of the desk. The servant lady was asked to wait in the lobby of the Villa and to tell all other house staff to remain out of the Area of the house where Provoçe's body resided currently

The woman walked off sobbing quietly to herself

The Doctor felt Provoçe's wrinkled neck for a pulse but none could be found.

The two body guards took large gulps, thier eyes were beginning to water

"The father of Bulgislavia has..... passed away" said the doctor in complete disbelief, his mouth quivered his hands were shaking uncontrolably

................................................................................

The Head Body guard was on the phone to Comrade General Secretary Alia Prekov, the head body guard was uncontrollably crying

"Th-The great father-er is de-dead!" screamed the body guard on the phone

"No! its not possible! I..... I will inform the party. Hell!" said Alia in total shock and disbelief.

The News spread quickly around the Hall of the Party. Loyal workers party members were hugging in large groups in the corridors sobbing and wailing

Alia wiped some tears from his face, though in the last months Alia was becoming dissolussioned with Provoçe he was attacthed to Provoçe in some emotional way.

Within an hour Provoçe's villa was in lockdown, no one was to leave incase they spread the news and caused a mass panic. The Party was in full session

Alia stood at the podium. The hall of party members were sobbing quietly

Alia began speaking to the hall

"Our Comrade President Provoçe has passed away, He was found this afternoon by a staff at his Villa. It is terrible news, Traumatising... He will leave behind a Traumatised nation at such terrible news"

Alia's speech was cut short by some party members fussing over a woman who had fainted at the announcement though she had heard ealier the official announcement came at such a shock to her.

"Comrades Please. This nation will see changes we have to hold together, the unity of the party and country will ensure prosperity. As Provoçe's designated successor and General Secretary of the party I will assume the title of head of state though I will not fill the position of President from the late Comrade President Provoçe"

The Hall filed out and later Alia took a helicopter to the Country Villa to be greeted by wailing house staff. Provoçe's body had been arranged on a bed lying peacefully in the entrance lobby

"Comrades this is shocking news for our nation, we are not sure how this news will be recieved, it will be censored but the official statement will come tomorrow morning in the papers and on the radio and TV. Work is to be called off for tomorrow and possibly the rest of the week. Until then the country is to believe Provoçe is still the comrade President who is alive and well"
said Alia to the house staff

...................................................................................................

It was a clear, crisp morning. People were waking up to what they thought was an ordinary day in Bulgislavia

Upon turning on the Radio and TV's the Image was of Provoçes face center in the screen with the dates

"1930 - 2008" with the Bulgislavian national anthem playing in the backround.

Provoçe square was filled shoulder to shoulder with at least 300,000 people as the mob of people stretched down the central Boulavard.

They were all wailing, crying, sobbing.
Provoçe statue which stood in the middle of the square was covered in bouquets of flowers

State Journalists reporting with live footage were interviewing the regular people.

The journalist was speaking infront of the camera but no matter how hard he tryed his face was puring tears, his voice was cracked and quivery
"Comrades, our President has passed away, Here on Provoçe square Bulgislavian's of all walks of life have gathered to mourn the passing of our Great father and national hero, I can not believe this news!"

He walked over to a man who was wailing uncontrolably

"HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN! HOW CAN BE GO! HOW CAN HE LEAVE US! AAH I can not believe this news! the entire world can collapse and I would still not believe this! All his life he worked for the people! how can this happed! NO!"
screamed the man.

The camera panned around the square in which the hundreds of thousands of people were crammed in shaking their arms, laying flowers at the base of the statue and screaming and crying with pained looks on thier faces

Just then the noise intensified as Alia and senior government ministers walked out on the balcony of the Hall of the Party looking over the hundreds of thousands of people.

"Fellow Comrades, The Beating heart of the workers party, the soul and father of Bulgislavia, his heart has ceased to beat...."

spoke Alia at that the thousands of people cryed even more

Hours passed and still the square was thronged with filled with people. by now at least 30% of the massive public square was layered with thousands of flowers

Voice of the People National News Paper

Comrade President Provoçe Passes Away

This Terrible day marks the day our Comrade President, our glorious Helms man has passed away.
It is shocking and unbelievable news that the great man who lead our country for almost 46 years is no longer with us.
A loyal, dedicated Communist and Patriot of Bulgislavia he did his country great services
He joined the communist resistance in 1944 at 14 years of age running messages for the resistance. In the 1950's became a loyal party members and proved his worth to the party that in 1962 elected him to lead the nation.
At only 32 years of age his youthful and talented mind led us into a golden age of presperity putting us firmly on the path of becoming a socialist paradise.
Though the 80's and 90's might not have been as successful if it werent for his sacrafices and his rule we would not exist as a communist state past 1990. We should all thank Comrade President Provoçe for our happy lives.
Comrade General Secretary Alia Prekov will now become the nations official leader. Provoçe saw in him great talents for we should see in him a great leader as Provoçe did. Place our trust in the party and the Comrade General Secretary and Provoçe life long work will continue even after his passing!

Here are a bunch of Provoçe Era posts which show the type of leader he was and what he did for the country

(The 1990 Crisis where Provoçe was almost toppled)

Provoçe's death was now known all around the world.

Exiled Bulgislavian's and Bulgislavian's who fled Provoçe's regime were rejoicing. A mob of Bulgislavian refugees were parading in a park
2 Bulgislavian refugees were interviewed Both fleed in 2002

"Provoçe was nothing but a stalin era relic i'm glad he is dead. I still have family in Bulgislavia I hope things will change and maybe I could see them sometime"

another Bulgislavian Refugee was also interviewed

"Provoçe was a tyrant also and I only wished he was able to stand trial for all his crimes and shot like Ceausescu was!"

In the neighbouring Popular Republic, public outpourings of grief -both spontaneous and some allegedly organised by the Bulgian Communist Party- accompany wordy expressions of solidarity and support from PM Kronyatensko and President Istok, whose description of Provoçe as a model leader further fuel concerns that the Bulgian chief of state is indeed a Communist sympathiser who plans to reshape the nation along orthodox Marxist-Leninist lines.

Besk promises to continue the friendship initiatives begun during the late days of comrade Provoçe's leadership in Bulgislavia, Kronyatensko saying that she and Prekov have much in common as they become leaders for the first time.

Concurrent with rallies glorifying the legacy of the late Stalinist, several smaller gatherings run into trouble with the Milicja as they demonstrate against the Bulgislavian Workers Party and the BCP's friendship with it. Including many Bulgislavian refugees, the demonstrations are often arranged by opposition parties, and the authorities' quick use of water cannon and in some cases batons and tear-gas to break-up the protests has caused not insignificant alarm. Besk says that these demonstrations lacked the proper permits, but fallen Prime Minister Costel Nechita insists that many of the pro-Provoçe gatherings had no official status and points out that the security forces failed even to attempt their dispersal.

"Though I never had the honor or pleasure of making President Provoçe's acquaintance, I mourn his passing nonetheless. I wish to offer my sincerest condolences to his friends and family. The people of Bulgislavia are in my thoughts and prayers."

Generalissimo J.L.

Comrade Alia was shut up in his office. The state was completely frozen. Provoçe's death had shocked and traumatised the nation.

Alia was worried for the future but he also wanted change. not radical but he wanted the countries economy to move and possible allow greater freedom but still keep the Workers Party in complete control.

He was eager to establish closer relations with Bulgia and sent an official message to the Bulgian Government
...................................................................................
I General Secretary of the Bulgislavian Workers Party and leader of Bulgislavia, Alia Prekov, would like to greatly improve relations between our two parties and would like to arrange plans for a state visit on either side of the border. It will be my first state visit to a country and we could discuss trade, alliances, co-operation, family visits to Bulgislavian refugees and possible allow work and travel permits for Bulgislavians to enter Bulgia. We trust that the BCP is on the right course and confrim our friendship to the people's of both countries. However we have a state funeral to arrange so possible we could arrange a visit after the State Funeral which the Bulgian
leadership is welcom to attend

Your sincerely Alia Prekov
...............................................................................................

The government was planning the state funeral. Unlike most communist dictators Provoçe failed to have any plans of a grand mausoleum to rest in state.
Already cheif architects were planning to add another floor to the Provoçe Museum which will hold Provoçe's body which will lay in state.

They also planned the route in which his body would be transported in a herse around the city. Beginning at the Hall of the people it would travel down the main streets eventually ending at the Museum of Provoçe.

...................................................................................................

To the rest of the world of national leaders who join in Bulgislavia's grieving and are on friendly terms you are welcome to attend the state funeral. You will be housed in the lavish Grand Terrevesti International Hotel for 3 days or however long you want.

"If permitted, I would like to attend the state funeral."

Generalissimo J.L.

We accept your application to atend the state funeral and with personal messages from General Secretary Prekov he hopes relations can expand between our two nations

"I am honored to be permitted to attend. Please tell General Secretary Prekov that I, too, hope for expanded ties between our nations."

Generalissimo J.L.

The people of the Orwellian Meritocracy is greatly saddened to hear of the passing of one of the finest leaders a country has ever seen. Although I cannot attend the funeral, I wish to send one bottle of finest Faxanavian Brandy, and my condolences to the friends and family.

Respectfully yours,

Prime Minister Lubmila Kronyatensko will attend the funeral of comrade Provoçe, leaving President Istok in daily control of the nation owing to an on-going and unexplained lack of a Deputy Prime Minister in the Popular Republic. Following the funeral's conclusion it is expected that Besk will issue a formal invitation to Prekov for a state visit to Bulgia.

For now most in the top levels of the Bulgian Communist Party are unsure how to take Prekov's description of Bulgislavians in Bulgia as refugees. Of course most of them are exactly that, but few had expected Prekov to admit it. Just what Alia has in store for his country remains an interesting question for the fledgling Communist restoration in Bulgia.

Alia was sitting in the presidential office. For the first time he was recieving reports from the ministries on the progress of the country.

Alia knew they were all rubbish reporting a 48% growth rate in agricutlural output and that quota's were being passed and the country was marhcing rapidly to prosperity.

Alia was not going to fall into the trap Provoçe did which was surrounding himself with "Yes men".

A minister was called by Alia to address him on the latest figures released about the state of the Industrial Infrustructure in Terrevesti.
a small bettle like man walked into the office, he was bald and had a alrge hook nose and was quite over wieght

"Yes Comrade General Secretary, what is it you wished to discuss?" he said cautiously

"I want to discuss your report of the Industrial infrustructure of Terrevesti" said Alia sternly

"Well our country is making rapid progress, the workers are putting in mass effort, after the week of mourning is over they will come back and put in more effor then ever before" he said trying to sound like an enthusiastic party member

"Paper is patient comrade Manesçi. This report is far from the truth though! I've looked at your previous reports for the last 5 years you have been saying the same thing about passing quota's yet state department stores have empty shelves, we still have queues the problems of shortages is never solved and our products are of the poorest quality in Europe. Bulgislavian car tires burst within weeks of installing them on cars, get your act together, I will give you one more chance to give a fair and honest report that will report the truth..... I would also watch your weight, rationing is in place in the nation and we have party members looking like you!"

The beetle man retreated from the room. Alia was thinking of a new economic strategy, He considered hireing economic advisors from more successful countries.......

...................................................................................

Construction was already beginning on the top floor of the museum of Provoçe where his body would lie in state. It was the countreis top priority.
Alia had released a leaflet to all party members calling for them to hand reports of thier material wealth and personal possesions and what properties they owned. Under Provoçe a kind of cast system emerged where his most loyal followers gained lavish perks, holiday homes, multiple vehicles, international trips and funds stashed in some foriegn bank accounts.

Already Alia had declared it to be a goal of the party to eliminate corruption.
Provoçe's old estates and villa's were already seized and placed under the governments control thought everything was kept in tact though no one but the house staff were allowed to remain in it.
Alia was now in charge of all the books. He descovered Provoçe's bank account in a foriegn country which held over 30 million Urmi. Alia was in total shock though not completely suprised at such corruption. Immediatly the state seized the funds and closed the bank account and donated it all to some of the countreis most delipidated hospitals

In the meantime the funeral still being planned. Party leaders will speak before the people before Provoçe's funeral herse would pass where it would travel around the large and wide boulavards and end at the museum.

.................................................................................................... ...

The Talemetran Empire sends its condelences and regrets to the death of a great leader, we hereby send a gift of 12,000,000 argus to Bulgislavia as a token of our regrets, we hope to send ambassador jakunis to the funeral

(OOC: A country in shock from losing a long-time leader. So asking for invasion. Possible tag :-))

(OOC: haha no not after an invasion. not yet anyway I have plans for the new leader and for the country. If you wnat an idea of how Traumatized the people are of losing thier leader search Kim Il Sung's death or funeral in North Korea then you can get an idea of the Hysteria of the people. Provoçe's death is based on this haha)

The funeral is about to begin. This is a message to all the world leaders who are to attend the funeral and this is the program.

You will arrive at the Terrevesti international airport in her jet's, planes or however you wish to travel as long as you end up in the Capital City. You will be greeted by party officials and escorted in a motorcade to the Grand Terrevesti International Hotel near the center. The next morning dress smartly. You will again be escorted and to arrive at the Hall of the Party, you will be able to stand on the balcony and look over Provoçe square.

Provoçe's herse will then proceed through the square, when it passes the square All the leadership will be taken to the Provoçe Museum. His body will be placed in a glass chamber surrounded by rows and rows of flower in the entrace hall of the Museum. all people wishing to pass his body in state will walk behind the red velvet rope, you will see perfect view of the Comrade President then after you may do as you wish, you can leave, tour the city or remain in the hotel for one more night But there will be a function in the Hall of the Party later that night

And that is the Funeral plan, thank you

.................................................................................................... .


The workers had spent an entire night emptying the Entrace Hall of the Provoçe Museum, moving them to one of the back rooms and leaving the Entrace Hall entirly empty except for a large, oblong glass container where his body was to lie in state. In a couple of hours the $2,000 worth of expensive flowers would arrive to surround the glass container. Everything was prepared.

People were still not quite over the trauma of losing a leader who had ruled over most of their lives for as long as they lived. If you were under 46 years old then no one would of known any other leader.

In some flats the most fanatical were curling up on the ground still in tears or clawed at the TV screens of the Tellevision when it showed Footage of Provoçe
