WHAT IF?

[Sebastianalandia]

If our Vozhd was felled, the Council of People's Commissars (with the Premier at its head) would assume his powers in the interim. A state of emergency would be declared, including martial law.

A massive public funeral to match those of the ancient kings would be held, to be followed by a s;pecial session of the All-Party Congress to elect a new leader.

Regarding this particular leader, Vladicoff, however, the picture becomes gloomier. Whilst many commissars and Politburo members would remain in power due to their acumen, a serious shaking of governing institutions would be in order. Vladicoff's right-hand sociopath, Vladimir Dzerzhinsky (head of espionage, de facto head of all the security forces, and the second most powerful man in Sebastianalandia) would face demotion and possible expulsion from the Party and State apparatus, or even execution.

Vladicoff's successors would fight each other over power, and the victor would be weak, most likely unable to maintain the loyalty of the military, the security forces, the higher civil service, the scientific establishment, and the rank-and-file citizenry - all factions that pledged support to Vladicoff.

International relations would also be hurt, as Vladicoff - though a paranoid and often reclusive leader - is typically well-liked, not only by fellow socialist nations, but also by very progressive democratic states and even ideological nemeses.

[Libetarian Republics]

What if your nations leader was assassinated?
Regardless of the security measures in place what would happen if it DID happen?
New person steps up and replaces him/her.

what would happen if you just received intell that an assassination attempt was about to transpire?
Prevent the assassination.

what security measures do you already have in place?
Guards. Camera. Surveillance. The works..

[Meridiani Planum]

What if your nations leader was assassinated?

His replacement clone would be woken.

what would happen if you just received intell that an assassination attempt was about to transpire?

We'd take him to a place of safety, of course.

what security measures do you already have in place?

I'm afraid that's classified.

[Central Lothian]

It depends which leader was assassinated:

If it was the Head of State, their oldest child would immediately become King/Queen.
If it was the Head of Government, then the Deputy PM would become Acting Prime Minister and an Extraordinary General Election would be organised.

As for the other two bits - I'm afraid that information is classified.

[Helghast empire]

What if your nations leader was assassinated?
Regardless of the security measures in place what would happen if it DID happen? We'd replace him with a clone

what would happen if you just received intell that an assassination attempt was about to transpire? we'd move our leader to a secure hideout

what security measures do you already have in place? classified, but get within 2 miles of him without authorization and you will be killed ( seriously, all citizens within an actual 2 miles of him will have to be checked, if living permanently near him, a simple house call will be in order )

[Deszonia]

What if your nations leader was assassinated? Regardless of the security measures in place what would happen if it DID happen?
If the entirety of the Executive Council was assassinated, say, with a bomb blast while they all happened to be within the same building, each city-state's local Vice-Councillor would be immediately raised to Acting Councillor, until such a point as the city-state conducted elections or shuffled their local totem-poles to elect new Councillors or consolidate the Acting Councillor as their new Councillor. There is something of an urgency to this, as an Acting Councillor does not have the full authority of a proper Councillor.
If a Representative of the Executive Council is assassinated, a new one is selected.
Should the Polling Network be taken down, there would be no Deszonia, legally.

What would happen if you just received intel that an assassination attempt was about to transpire?
The security of individual Councillors is their own responsibility, though most city-states have an official apparatus to provide officials with personal close protection. Doubtless, many undercover investigations would be instigated to determine the source of the threat and deal with it in an expedient manner.

What security measures do you already have in place?
Again, the security of individual Councillors is their own responsibility; scaling from simple hired bodyguards to chem-boosted, religiously-indoctrinated servitors.
Specific security arrangements are [Classified].

[Apostledom of chaos]

The Emperor is a God among human's he cannot die.

[Makaar]

If the King were assassinated, his immediate heir would become monarch in the same way as if the King died naturally.

If the Prime Minister were assassinated, the Deputy Prime Minister would become Prime Minister and would select a new Deputy. He would be entitled to serve the rest of the former Prime Minister's term; however, it is more likely that fresh elections would be called.

If intelligence were received that anybody in the country, not just an important government official, was in serious and immediate danger of being killed, they would be offered the chance to go to a secure location while those responsible for the threat were arrested.

[Beinai]

Well, the President=Head of State= Head of Gov't= First Lord of Treasury= Constituency Representative...
There would be a mourning period would be in action with 24 hours. It would last at least 72 hours. The deputy leader of the dominant party would fulfill these roles and become leader too.
For the constituency of the President, councillors will be able run for Constituency Representative (MP). This would mean a local election. In the period of prep and counting results, the longest- serving councillor for the party would be default CR if willing.
Investigation units would check surveillance in all of the transport for a culprit. This means life in an isolated maximum security prison-Depthfort Town (formerly a large town of 102,950 with a wide, deep moat around) with no rehabilitation.

[Umbra Ac Silentium]

What if your nations leader was assassinated?
Regardless of the security measures in place what would happen if it DID happen?

what would happen if you just received intell that an assassination attempt was about to transpire?

what security measures do you already have in place?

If one of them was assassinated? An emergency election.
If all of them were assassinated? A public forum debate among the public to reelect the Administrative Council, who would organize an emergency election.

Well, they'd probably keep their hands on their gun.

Besides everyone in the building being armed? Security camera and Security units.

[Arumdaum]

Then the vice president would become president. If they died, then the prime minister. If the prime minister died too, then the speaker of the house.

[Studibartfast]

If our Dear Leader were assassinated,

1: there would undoubtedly be a celebration on a massive scale, like a combination Phish concert/street fair. He is not popular but he is very much in control.
2: the culprit would be hunted down and killed, his immediate and extended family killed, and the town or district in which he lived would be leveled with a nuclear bomb. Just to send a message.
3: The Dear Leader's relatives would continue their existing power struggle until a replacement/victor emerged.

If we received intel about an attempt, then we'd just go with #2.

The Dear Leader's security measures are not open to discussion. Anyone inquiring about them will be found, flogged, skinned alive and eaten.

[ArghNeedAName]

What if your nations leader was assassinated?
Regardless of the security measures in place what would happen if it DID happen?
If the President dies or is rendered unable to do his duties for more than 20 days, the Chancellor of the Senate would assume the President's powers and become Acting President. A election for a new President would then be scheduled to happen within the next three months. If there is currently no Chancellor, next would be the Speaker of the National Assembly, and after that the 24 State Governors, in order of the population of their state. Once a new President has been elected, the Acting President returns to their previous duties.

If the same thing happens to the Prime Minister, the Deputy Prime Minister becomes Acting Prime Minister until the President appoints a new one. If there is no Deputy Prime Minister, the National Assembly elect the Acting Prime Minister. If the President fails to appoint a Prime Minister within 30 days, the Acting Prime Minister loses the 'Acting' bit.

what would happen if you just received intell that an assassination attempt was about to transpire?
Take appropriate action to avoid it.

what security measures do you already have in place?
Confidential, although some of our more obvious ones include the President's armoured limo, the Private Plane, police, a good supply of medicine and careful planning.

[Magna Bavaria]

If chairman Von Falkenhausen had been assassinated, nation-wide martial law will be declared, the borders closed, connections to the outside world cut and curfew put in place (despite economic and political effects). The assailant will either be shot to dead on the scene or interrogated and disposed of by the secret police, together with all civilian witnesses (assuming the assassination wasn't on live television).

The Legislative Union will then have to choose a new chairman post haste. If the Union is unable to bring forward a suitable candidate, a male relative of the late ruler will assume his position and try to fulfill his remaining term(s). In case of an impending assassination attempt, we can do little more than increase security, cancel risky public events and attempt to track down the would-be killers.

[Sagatagan]

We'd treat it as a murder case, same as any other, and the next person in the rotation schedule would become acting Chair of the Congress for the rest of the session, while the seat of the slain delegate in question would be filled with a replacement elected by their canton.

[Hresejnen]

Should Hönir the Fair be assassinated, his son would immediately take over. He's young, but probably old enough. Meanwhile, the nation would be in an uproar, not just about the succession, but about Sifsson himself: he's quite a popular fellow, the first elected monarch, and people would be very upset to see him go so abruptly. They'd be out for blood, and they'd more than likely get it.

If there were the real threat of assassination, it would be requested that the regin remain in his home. He doesn't technically need to do anything outside of it; he basically just exists. However, he'd probably fight those requests, until society spoke out against his putting himself in danger. He loves traveling, whether through his own country or others.

The security measures in place for him are quite small, even by Hresejnsk standards: eight "bodyguards" accompany him outside the country, by request of the federal þing. They don't follow him everywhere he goes, though, to avoid looking conspicuous; they just sort of stick around within eye- and earshot. Which is tough, due to the wandering nature of our relatively young monarch. They are well-trained, though, take their job very seriously, and would never betray their charge.

Other than these folks, not too much. Hresejnen is not a very large country, and not very volatile. Politicians wander about all the time. If they didn't, they probably wouldn't stay politicians very long, due to the very personal nature of politics in our nation. There's yet to be an assassination or assassination attempt of any individual.

[Tjarra]

What if your nations leader was assassinated?
Regardless of the security measures in place what would happen if it DID happen?

There is no successor and there are no rules for appointing a leader, so there would be a big problem. On the other hand, our leader regularly vanishes for days or even weeks. During this, the country is still governed.

what would happen if you just received intell that an assassination attempt was about to transpire?

Depending on the situation: tighter security, using stand-ins, vanishing for a few days

what security measures do you already have in place?

That's a secret

[Kalaspia-Shimarata]

What if I had the power to change anything about anyone

[Yasashii]

What would happen if your nation's leader was assassinated?
Why, the Deputy National Director would take over until a successor was elected by the National Board. In the mean time, security would be strengthened after weaknesses were identified, public engagements temporarily suspended for the acting ND, and investigations to track down the guilty parties involved.

Regardless of the security measures in place what would happen if it DID happen?
...Read above.

What would happen if you just received intell that an assassination attempt was about to transpire?
In what time frame? At the next public event/very shortly or at some point in the future? Arrests nonetheless, perhaps a cancellation/change of plans.

What security measures do you already have in place?
Yasashii is incredibly peaceful, paranoia is not rampant. Body guards and protection provided by the Internal Security Services, though the ND is approachable in public.
