Official Diplomatic Communiqué
The Imperial Republic of New Pictavia
ENCRYPTION: Open Communiqué
TO: All parties and candidates of the Beatus.
SUBJECT: AU Stance.
DATE: 26 MARCH MMVIII

MESSAGE: New Picatvia wished to enquire on the various parties' stance on the Atlantican Union, and indeed of New Pictavia. We also wish to enquire how a political party competing to govern over millions of people in a modern state can have no stance on basic policy such as "democracy", "Labour Reform" et cetera. Would they simply not act on certain issues whatsoever when in power?

Regards,

OOC: From the syndicalist perspective of New Pictavia, I actually would have voted for the Labour Party because of their reforms. Also, would the environmentalist party not want to improve cooperative relations with one of the more fiercly pro-environmental states in the region and possibly NS?

NP, the environmaniac of II...

(OOC: the Labor Party, is Communist/Socialist, and doesn't like your persecution of they're communist/socialist brethren. Also, the Environmental party, really has no stance past that of improving the environment.)

(OOC: Moving on up, to the east side)

(OOC: To a deluxe apartment, in the sky.)

The election is now over,

The Nationalist Party has one, but as Jeffery Normal has died from an unknown ailment, Gen. Hannibal Smith (RET.) will take his position, and an appointment for VP will be made when time is available.
