OOC: The KE is not having a popular election this time around. It works more like Puerto Rico, where one year we can have a Caucus, and a Primary the next. So there will be no campaigning or donations, but endorsements and such are welcome.You can ask the candidates (One, all, or any of your choosing) about their positions or opinions on certain issues.

Tricentra, Province of Ventralia, Kirav, Kiravian Empire
At three days ago, the Clan Council of the Empire officially came into session at the Laran J. Tolmec Convention Centre in the Kartikan sattelite city of Tricentra.
In light of the abrupt death of Emperor Irasur Seawind, the Council ordered an immediate assembly to elect a replacement to lead the Empire in the face of current crises involving the Hegemony and a potential insurrection in Aurada.
The first act of the Council was to elect Ebur Tähnpin, Chief of Clan Entwel, as President of the convention.
The second was the nomination of candidates for the Imperacy, and debate to bring about a final set of ten potential Emperors. The Council has just realeased the names of those ten, which are as follows:
Lord John Blakfeld (Blackfield)
Place of Origin: Mountgreen, Kirav
Current Position: Imperial Executive Commissioner
Ideology: Traditionalism, Economic Centrism, Imperialistic Foriegn policy, supports humanitarian and peacekeeping efforts, as well as interventionism. Pro-Welfare.
Position on Militarism: "The Empire must stand ready to defend itself, first and formost. We must also see to it that our military is used to further the Empire and the causes it supports. One area in which we are failing to do that is in our marine military forces. As Emperor, I would begin taking actions to majorly upgrade the Imperial Navy, and secure our seaways, even if it involves purchasing foriegn ships."
Position on Environmentalism: "The Coscivian-speaking peoples have always had a reverence for the natural world. It is part of who we have made ourselves, and thus must be preserved. I intend to open a Boreal Wildlife Refuge in the Kiravian taiga, and to encourage the creation of parks and stricter environmental measures in the Empire."
Social Stance: Centre-Left
Internal Government Stance: "I stand with Cecil Rhodes when it comes to the manner in which we should govern our Provinces."
Position on Immigration: "I see the Kiravian Empire as the centrepiece of the new Coscivian civilisation. I plan on moving towards the position of the Scandinavian Empire on that issue, meaning barring foriegn immigration except from the Coscivian homeland and our allies."
Ethnicity: Vrytev-Ieurlev
Religion: Church of Kirav
Sèr Governor Ilvik Lysken
Place of Origin: Saar-Trinitat, Cascada Province, Kirav
Current Position: Governor of Inokarya
Ideology: Constitutionalist, Favours individual liberty, limited government, Expansionist, but not overly Imperialist, nor interventionist.
Position on Militarism: "The Imperial Statute upon which the Empire was founded provisioned for the creation of a military for the defence of the Empire. It should be used for no more than that."
Position on Enviromentalism: "It is important, but little change is needed. We already have a stunning environmental program."
Social Stance: Individual libertarian
Internal Government Stance: "I think the current Federacy we have in place is adequate"
Position on Immigration: "We should allow the same level of immigration that we do currently, but immigrants from Nonkiravis countries must assimilate."
Ethnicity: Insdev
Religion: Universalist Christian
Name: Kelvik Preston
Place of Origin: IceDiamond, New Harbour
Current Position: Senior Member, Colonisation Comission
Ideology: Kiroconservative
Position on Militarism: Necessary for the defence of our Empire.
Position on Enviromentalism: Very important. It's an unquestionable issue in Kiravian society. We value the environment, and take care of it well.
Social Stance: Centre-Right
Internal Government Stance: We should maintain our current federacy, but grant some more self-government to larger colonies like Kaviska and Xirya. I support the recognition Thenryan Indigienous Province of Karo'ta as a seperate soviereignty.
Position on Immigration: I am looser on immigration tham most of my counterparts. I believe that certain peoples, more than just the Echoese, Picts, and such, can assimilate well into Cosco-Kiravian culture, and contribute to it. THis would coincide well with Kiravic values if managed properly.
Ethnicity: Echoese-Kiravian
Religion: Protestant Christian
Name: Thenris Candlea

Position on Enviromentalism: "I was a park ranger in the Brakelands Provincial Forest. I know firsthand how important it is to take care of Nature."
Social Stance: Liberal
Internal Government Stance: "We must integrate the politial systems of the Provinces, and bring them closer to the Imperial authority. We must be closer together in order to fulfill our purpose."
Position on Immigration: "Immigration is an issue of the people, and should be decided by them. I defer this issue to the Senate."
Ethnicity: Kaskev
Religion: Coscivian Theist
Name Breil Greyforest
Place of Origin: Baysar, Marine Province, Kirav
Current Position: Oversecriatist of Domesticities
Ideology: Kirosocialism
Position on Militarism: Not necessary. We should return to our pre-Raincedarian station on the International stage where a reduced military could have sufficed.
Position on Enviromentalism: We can't trust the private sector with it. That's for sure.
Social Stance: Neoliberal
Internal Government Stance: "Power to the Imperial government. Particularly to the Senate."
Position on Immigration: "Our population is large enough. Continued immigration at this rate, even from Coscivia, is no longer neccessary. I will begin limiting all immigration to five million persons per year, and institute chronological milestones to shave it down to 100,000.

Position on Militarism: "We have a military at our disposal. But it should be used to protect our people, instead of in the way it was used by Praetor Candlea to fight over an uninhabited islet for oil. We need to exercise better judgement when it comes to military affairs."
Position on Enviromentalism: "We ought to bulldoze all of our forests, drain our swamps to build retirement communities, lift hunting laws on endangered species, and start burning oil again. Just joking. We already have taken very strict environmental measures. It's a moot issue at this point."
Social Stance: Centrist
Internal Government Stance: None
Position on Immigration: "I stand with Sèr Preston. We can open up to more immigratory peoples, granted that they assimilate and conribute more than cheap labour."
