Imelda Manalo-Ayala
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Christian Unity Caucus Rally

South America is a Christian-dominated region. Because of this, Manalo-Ayala aims to tap into the Christian values of the people living here. Setting up a stage in a wide plaza in Rio de Janeiro, Imelda Manalo-Ayala was flanked left and right by the region's most respected Christian leaders- from Protestant Pastors to Catholic Bishops. This was a perfect venue for her to deliver her speech. Imelda being skilled in scripture, the rally was more of a worship service rather than a campaign event.

'In proverbs, it is said that whoever is gives to the poor is rewarded by the Lord!" declared Imelda Manalo-Ayala as she roused up the crowd.

"People of South America! Heed my call, this election decides the future of our faith, the future of our values and morals. It will decide who we are as a society and as a people. We need to vote wisely! Connect yourselves with us, join the ranks of the Christian Unity Caucus!"

De Klair stands in the foreground, behind a Workers' League of Industrial Revolution flag.


"I have come to speak to you all today to announce an important event: The Workers' League of Industrial Revolution will now run in the elections! Why, you may ask, after all, many say that we have no chance of victory. For you see, Earth is at the precipice of history. The workers will soon struggle and rise, to fight against our tyrant slave masters which have kept us chained for centuries! Together, we must rise against those who have stolen the Earth from us; who have stolen our birthright to be free! We have been oppressed for century after century, toiling every single day of our lives, from the moment that we became able to do so until we were tossed to the side, as the capitalists spat in our eye and gave us nothing more than a mere handout, living our last years in nothing more than filth and squalor. After a life of hard work, is this what we deserve?! Is this what you deserve?! Just to be thrown to the side, with your soul ripped to shreds?! And yet, even in our working years, we are disrespected by those who enslave us, extort us and destroy our very being. And so, we must carry forward, with dagger and with sword, with gun and with pride, to fight against the thieves which stole our rightful soil! They put us in boxes, berate us and pit us against each other like angry cockerels. Well, I say no more! Enough is enough! Together, we shall reclaim our birthright: nothing less than the Earth itself! So let us conquer, and let us fight in the streets, in the ballot boxes, for wherever we go, we shall fight in the revolutionary struggle! We must put down all these distractions and focus on one goal: our salvation, our freedom, our solidarity and one word: revolution."

And that was all, as an instrumental version of the Internationale played afterwards.

Nike Schmidt being interviewed live at a rally in Austin, Texas
Host: So Ms. Schm-
Nike: Actually it's General
Host: Erm. Of course. Sorry. Anyway, Gen. Schmidt, I was going to ask what you think about the shooting in Shanghai. Mr. Capco and the Southpaws have already released a statement and you briefly mentioned it in reply to Mr. Malarkey's Tweet earlier. I was going to ask your opinion?
Nike: Well obviously we need to fight terrorism, not restrict guns even more. When there's a car accident, we blame the drunk driver. When there's a bombing, we blame the bomber. So, why should we blame the gun for the shooting? Instead, we need to crack down on terrorism!
Host: So you stand against the Southpaws on this issue.
Nike: Yes, I just said that.
Host: *getting annoyed* Ok. So, Gen. Schmidt, you support fighting terrorism. How do you think we should go about doing this?
Nike: Well obviously we need to increase security in airports and give more money to the military for fighting terrorist groups! We can't just sit around and wait for these scumbags to get bored of killing people! We need to actively hunt them down!
Host: Won't that mean increasing taxes?
Nike: Of course not! We can just divert funding from public healthcare! We live in a great world! Everyone could have a job and work hard to support themselves, but they don't! Why should we pay for their healthcare?
Host: Thank you for your time, General. What do you plan to do at this rally?
Nike: I want to meet as many of my amazing supporters as possible!

The crowd cheers as Nike walks offstage, waving and smiling

Beijing,
East Asian Region
Greens Campaign Event

It was a smoggy day out in Beijing, that, of course, was what the campaign was hoping for, hell they were even planning for. Ertan stood outside in the city square, wearing goggles and a mouth filter. With a megaphone in hand, his speech would continue.

"Everyday, millions worldwide live in conditions like the one we're experiencing right now every day of the year. Millions no longer have access to clean air and are forced to breathe unsafe air. It's killing us, it's killing our parents and our children, and it's killing our planet! And we need to do something about! We need to stop polluting our air and our water! We need to switch to a 100% renewable energy grid now! We need to invest in carbon capture technology, so we can clean the air we breathe! We need to do every we can to stop climate change and the death of our home!

...

"It's a sad truth that in our current system an East Asian vote doesn't have the worth it should have. the only region where a vote matters less is the Indian Subcontinent. If we want to live in a democracy we need to change this now! A vote in China should matter just as much as a vote in the Nordic Region, or a vote in Ethiopia, or a vote in Central Europe, every vote should matter the same! Every vote should be equal! This is why the Greens want one world-wide electoral district, so that every vote around the world can matter just as much as a vote cast on the other side of the world!"

Dhaka, Indian Subcontinent Region, Guðni Jóhannesson Campaign Stop #8

Guðni’s last stop on the conservative subcontinent was in the city of Dhaka. The densely populated city was home to millions. Guðni would be holding a town hall at the Sarkari building in Dhaka, where he would speak to a large crowd. He started with some opening remarks.

“It is my pleasure to be here in Dhaka. I thank the city and the people of the city for welcoming me here. This is an area of the world with beautiful culture and tradition that need to be preserved, this is an area of the world where many different religions, from Christianity to Hindus to Muslims live together in peace. This is the embodiment of United Earth. I want to make sure how important a free market is to the economy, I’ve stressed this point out more than anything throughout my campaign, and I will continue to do so in the ugly face of authoritarian communism and fascism. A free market, with limited, not none, but limited government interference is for the benefit of humanity. There are a handful of socialists and a communist party out there, they simply want to take control of the economy and impose heavy taxes on you the people. They want the economy to be in control of corrupt bureaucrats and politicians over the people. We encourage enterprise, we encourage innovation, and we encourage entrepreneurship. A communist society will only result in a brain drain, the lack of innovation, and the lack of any innovative measures. We will not tolerate the self proclaimed “worker’s revolution”, because we all saw that it’s a lie. We saw its true form in the hell that was known as the USSR, and we will not turn United Earth into a massive gulag. Now we can start our town hall, thank you.”

A Muslim man walked up to the mic.

“Hello Mr. Jóhannesson, I am a local Imam here in Dhaka. I want to know what your stance is on Islam and religion as a whole, you’ve been very clear that you want to preserve religion, could you elaborate more?”

“Yes, religion is a core pillar of society. Religion teaches people to follow our basic human morals, and religion must be preserved. No religion is superior or inferior to another, but religion is very important to a society. The Southpaws, from what they’ve said so far, completely oppose religion and individual cultures. We want religion to be a core part of society, because it is a core part of society. You as an Imam are responsible for teaching people how to be a good person, and your job is important in maintaining the moral standards that we as humans strive to achieve. With that being said, I staunchly oppose any form of religious supremacy or terrorism.”

Another man walks up.

“Hello, I want to ask you about your stance on pollution. Dhaka is a city on the Ganges delta, and therefore, all of our water supply comes from the Ganges river, one of the most polluted ones on the planet. I want to know what you can do to combat this.”

“Indeed, pollution is a serious problem. There are many companies out there that are hard at researching alternatives for plastic and other materials that don’t decompose well. As we stand for enterprise and innovation, we are more than willing to assist these entities in their researches to help the environment.”

“Once again, thank you for having me” Guðni said as he finished the town hall.

Yangon, South East Asian Region, Guðni Jóhannesson Campaign Stop #9

Guðni would be making two stops in the South East Asian region before moving on to the heavily contested East Asia. Much like the Indian Subcontinent, Southeast Asia was a heavily conservative region where everyday life was rooted in Buddhist practices. Guðni held a rally in Yangon and spoke to his supporters.

“Thank you, Yangon, for receiving me well. South East Asia is a very unique region, one rooted in the teachings of the great Buddha. This is the exact culture that we strive for United Earth to be. While much of my opposition wants to eradicate cultural identity, we will embrace it. This is exactly what the Buddha would have wanted, he taught of peace between all people, and we have achieved that. I personally fought the evil fascist government that the Earth suffered through, and now you all live in a free democratic society. Many parties, Southpaws, Communists, and more want to get rid of the cultures that we have lived in for most of our existence. The ideology is childish and pseudo-utopian to say the least, the Southpaws and Communists live in their own world, not the real world.

The Buddhist religion is one that I respect greatly, and we must do everything we can to preserve cultural and religious traditions that have been passed down for centuries, generation to generation. Religion is a core pillar of society, like I said in Dhaka. Religion is very important for our morals as humans to be passed down. Would you, the people of Yangon vote for a party that cares more about their childish views and eradication of religion?

We want to give everyone the opportunity to move up in society, this is why we need a free market, where people have the opportunity to open and run successful businesses. The childish visions of the far left are laughable to see, and I know people have enough common sense to see through the sham. Entrepreneurship, enterprise, and economic freedom is what we work towards. We will make sure that the economy is controlled by the people, not by politicians. We will make sure the economy is controlled by you the people, not the corrupt bureaucrats. Thank you.”

Kinshasa Campaign Rally For The Workers' League of Industrial Revolution

"Good afternoon to all of you. I have come here to talk about the African continent that we all share. In the past, Africa was pillaged and ravaged by barbaric Europeans who trod upon African soil and enslaved us, sending us over to America in large, crowded slave ships. But that was not all: the Europeans came back several centuries later, bringing upon a second wave of fury in the form of the Rape of Africa. This time, it was not slavery, but rather full-on genocide. They killed millions in a matter of decades, wiping out most native Africans in one of the worst genocides ever committed, worse than the Holocaust. Over here, in the Congo, over 15 million people died as a result of Belgian occupation. These crimes against Africa, against humanity itself, will never be forgiven, and let us hope it will never be forgotten."

The crowd waved candles to remember the Rape of Africa, and the Belgian crimes in the Congo Free State.

"But that is merely the past. It is not better today. The Red Rubber system is still in place in practice, in the hands of private companies who exploit children for profit. De Beers and other diamond companies put young children into the ground, several thousand kilometres deep, to get diamonds stained with their own blood. And who does this profit?! The first world! The first world, made of Europe and North America, which live in absurd wealth, whilst here, people can barely afford food and die of starvation. Over 20 million die a year due to the atrocities of capitalism and the greed borne of first world demons! Let us end capitalism and finally live in a world where we can eat as much food as we like, as many times as we want! A time where we no longer have to bear the clutches of misery and only work 20 hours a week! Let us go forth to freedom! The future must be taken by the horns, and we must be ready to look it in the eye! Death to capitalism!"

The crowd then cheered and applauded, as many had taken note of Frederij's speech, for various reasons.

Seoul
East Asian Region
Greens Campaign Event

"One of the reason I support splitting up the East Asia Region is simple, if the region is given greater powers and abilities to fix its problems, the issues that affect the Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, Tibetian, Cantonese, and Ugyher populations would be ignored in favor of issues that affect the Han Chinese population. It doesn't take a statistician to figure out that the Han Chinese absolutely dominate the region population-wise and it doesn't take a historian to figure out that these populations have rarely gotten along.

If the issues affecting non-Han populations are never addressed we can expect to see more of what we've seen in the last few decades, while the Han Chinese get riche and get better access to education and healthcare, the Korean, Japanese, Mongolian, Cantonese, and Ugyher peoples will get poorer and have less access to education and healthcare. That's simply not right, every person on the planet deserves access to proper education and healthcare, every person on the planet should have the ability to get what they see as the best life for themselves.

If East Asia isn't split up I can't help but see a future where the non-Han Chinese population won't have that ability. Without that ability, all we'll see in East Asia is more of the past, ethnic violence between the people that inhabit this area of the planet. And that's not the future we deserve!"

[Aureumterra]

Hanoi, South East Asian Region, Guðni Jóhannesson Campaign Stop #10

Guðni made his way to the final stop in the South East Asian region, where he spoke to a large crowd of supporters in Hanoi. Like Yangon, Hanoi was also a center of Buddhism and a very conservative area.

“Thank you. For years, the people of the South East Asian region have suffered under the cruel rule of the French. They came and tried to wipe out your culture, traditions, and religion. Today, we have a new colonizer, the Southpaw Party. They seek to eradicate the world of generations of culture and religion. Under the rule of the Republicans, we will not let such a thing ever happen. All cultures, including the cultures of Southeast Asia will be protected under us. While the Southpaws may want to destroy the economy and tradition, the Republicans will do everything possible to make sure that it does not happen.

More recently, a new threat to the Earth has arrived, the WLIR party, They use their fear mongering tactics to simply have a repeat of the USSR. Don’t you remember the cruelty that our fellow humans in Eastern Europe went through under the rule of the communists? It was the most horrific genocide in the history of the Earth, and they want to repeat it. Their childish dreams are destroyed with a single question: who’s going to pay for it? Who will pay for everything? They don’t have answers for that, they will only crush you under the weight of heavy taxation.

The Republicans will do everything in our power to empower free enterprise, entrepreneurship, and innovation. In a socialist society, there will be no incentive to innovate. It will make humanity backwards. Every human deserved the chance to progress forth, every human deserves the chance to make his life work. Every human deserves economic freedom. Communism and socialism will do nothing but make politicians take control of the economy, we will make sure that only, and only the people control the economy. Thank you.

---

The election is nearing and campaigns from the parties have only been getting more intense. When results are released, it is expected to be extremely close between the major parties who have campaigned extensively in the world.

The Republican Party continues through their campaign strategy, soon moving up to one of the most significant seats, East Asia. We also see the Greens with their campaign strategy in East Asia, with a notable focus on the air pollution in Beijing and terrorist policies. What we can expect is that East Asian votes is quite divided between the right and the left.


Beijing People flock to see the Greens rally

The Worker's League of Industrial Revolution, an anarcho-syndicalist party has also taken a rise notably with a speech in Kinshasa, one of the more impoverished regions of the world. The left side of the political spectrum is more divided than ever in these elections, so coalitions are to be expected.

The campaign seems to be moving away from the first world, as attention grows to the significant regions with the most seats. The pre-election polls will detail some of these regions and their perceptions

Frederij De Klair at a Steel Factory in Johannesburg

Frederij arrived in Johannesburg to large cheers and claps due to the fact he was former mayor of the city. The steel factory was a place he had visited often in his time as mayor, as it was one of many cooperatives his fund had set up during his time as mayor. The workers applauded him as he entered, chanting his praises, as his policies had given them work.

"Good morning! I am Frederij De Klair!" The factory workers cheered from the very mention of his name, raising their fists in the air.

"You see, I see a bright future in Africa. In the past, we have been wracked with nothing but disease, death and hard toil. There was once an area where we had to hide away, away from our houses and homeland, as the invaders hunted us down. But in the end, we won! And so, we will win against the modern invader: capitalism, which threatens to take away our freedom, our rights! If it wasn't for these cooperatives in Johannesburg - which make up a significant proportion of the economy - imagine what horror you'd be suffering under now? 84, no, 105 hours a week of long, painful toil. But look now, at the glory of socialism! This is what socialism means: the idea that you should control your own work and gain its fruits! You now earn more than twenty times the wage now! Socialism doesn't mean gulags or any of that - it means economic democracy. And if any person wishes to call themselves a democrat, they ought to support socialism! Death to capitalism and vote for the Workers' League of Industrial Revolution! Thank you!" Frederij finished his speech, to the cheering of the crowd, which was much larger than normal thanks to his former experience there.

Television/Radio Advertisement by the Workers' League of Industrial Revolution - Played Africawide - Presented by Frederij De Klair

In the background is an African flag with a hammer and sickle.

"Hello, people of Africa! I have come to speak to you about an important topic: more specifically, the future of Africa. To examine the future we must examine the present. What is the current situation of Africa? It is one of misery. Many of us still live in wooden huts, getting our water merely out of wells which were phased out in richer continents centuries ago. Most of us live short, brutish and arduous lives with little to enjoy but human company. Most of our jobs involve risking our lives on a daily basis, in a manner which is unacceptable of a civilised land. So what needs to be done and what is the future of Africa? Our number one priority is to end capitalism, in order to redistribute power and freedom to the working class, and finally give us living standards equal that of the first world. But what else is needed and what else do we have planned? We plan to, unlike the Western charities which give us scraps only as temporary aid to make people feel better about themselves, build schools and hospitals, along with large infrastructure networks across the continent. Extra mining operations, automation and the proliferation of nuclear power will be our next step, once we have an educated and healthy populace. This will allow us to expand our economy significantly without reducing living standards. Once this is in place, Africa shall outshine the Western world, as we will become the shrine of freedom and an economic miracle. We will export minerals and oil, harvested in an ethical and sustainable manner. We will begin giving African land once again to nature, rather than to poachers. Right now, we are suffering, but once we, the Workers' League of Industrial Revolution, are in power and we have socialism, we will turn Africa into a beautiful land, one in which people no longer suffer to pestilence such as malaria, or to mass famine and drought. We will make Africa great and secure a future for our children!"

Osaka, Japan
Osaka castle
James Leonardo Kommenous

James Leonardo Kommenous stud calmly in front of the back drop of Osaka castle. The lights on the castle turning blue to represent the colour of the party as he fiddle with some paper before looking out into the crowd of people that had gathered. A few hundred people had all came out wanting to to support Kommenous but more importantly hear what he had to say about the terrorist attack in Shanghi to which he was in close proximity to. As he cleared his throat he pulled the microphone close to his face and spoke. "A few days ago, I was in Shanghi going about my business as honest citizen of the United Earth. As were 19 other citizen in Shanghi. They were going about their own business, some were going home to see their families. But unfortunately those 19 were cut down by a senseless act of violence directed towards the wrong people. I do not know if the target was aimed at me or it was just chance but what I can say is this. If any Terrorist wants to get to me, to kill me. Have the decency to only strike after me and not the innocent people of the world. I now speak to those of you wish to commit acts violence against the people of this planet. I mean it when I say that when we elected to government we will come after you with fire and fury, and we will do everything in power to defend the great citizens of this Earth. Believe me when I say that violence will never succeed over democracy." The crowd began to slowly clap.

"Even if the Deltaist party is unable to achieve a majority in the Parliament, we would still commit ourselves to a full funded armed forces and security services in order to defend the peace of the world. Terrorists be warned and hear my words that those responsible for any attacks against the public will be dealt with and you will be tried and you will be judged according to laws of this world. Finally I wish to state that we will never forget the 19 that died, they are in a sense martyrs to cause of peace and for that they have my deepest sorrows. As such I wish to announce that Deltaist party will be dipping into its own fund to pay compensation to the families of those that were lost and all to pay for the funerals of the 19 that died." Another applause began although like the first was solemn clap not like the resounding cheers James had been getting throughout the campaign trail. "Anyway let us continue to our business for that is what we should do. People of Japan you are a proud and strong people, your need to constantly strive for your own self benefit as well as a communal benefit is something I respect greatly. However for many of you here know of the struggle after the war, one in which poverty was rampant and for many it was struggle to keep food on the table for their family. Well that will never happen again, under a Deltaist Parliament the poverty that you suffered will be a thing of the past. We will make sure that everyone in the world is able to put food on the table, that children go to school with a full stomach and that the workers of the world do not have to worry about working themselves to death in order to keep themselves and their family from suffering in poverty. Japan I can say this that under us you will not be left behind. Japan will be an area that we wish to develop with more Jobs and better wages for all with state run ventures and schemes to encourage business to develop industry in Japan. The shadow on Japan will be lifted under us and we will replace it with the rising sun on a new japan. Thank you very much". James walked away from the podium and waved to a few people before picking up a party flag from the crowd placing it in front of him for a photo.

Guangzhou, East Asian Region, Guðni Jóhannesson Campaign Stop #11

Guðni had finally made his way to probably the most heavily contested region in this election so far: East Asia. The party hadn’t dipped into this region, as it was busy campaigning and firing up their bases in the more conservative regions that were likely to vote Republican. Now was the time to step into the battleground. So far, two left wing parties have been rallying in the region. Guðni’s arrival meant the right wing voters finally got their own politician represented in the current “vote-war” of the region. Guðni gave his speech to a large crowd in Guangzhou.

“For centuries, East Asia has been a hub of culture and trade in the world. Many dynasties rose and fell, the silk road prospered, the Qing prospered, and now, the Southpaws want to take your history away. They want to eradicate your culture, your identity, what makes you special. Like I’ve stressed out over my campaign, we will preserve all of your culture, your history, and everything you’ve stood for.

East Asia has also been a place of innovation. Silk, fireworks, hell, you even have the largest engineering project invented by mankind. Now tell me, the socialism that the Southpaws and to some extent, the Deltaists propose, would it have lead to this? If everything was divided equally, there would be no need to innovate. We always fight for innovation. We fight for enterprise. East Asia, continue your legacy as one of the world’s hubs of innovation.

Another thing that has disturbed me is the recent terrorist attacks on Shanghai. 19 people have died, yes, 19 people. I am thoroughly relieved that nobody in this race is simply using it as a statistic to get more votes. Terrorism is a horrible, horrible thing, and we must do everything possible to eradicate terrorism in all forms. I know I have been very critical of the Deltaists, but I sincerely applaud Mr. Kommenous’s donation to the victims of the families. We as humans must put all of our political differences aside and unite, to fight the global threat of terrorism. Thank you Guangzhouh.

New Delhi, India
Connaught Place
James Leonardo Kommenous

The platform for the rally in New Delhi was quite small compared to others that he had spoken at previously, with it being in the middle of the central park it had to be small in order to get enough people into the actually rally. James was escorted through a large crowd which had gathered to hear the party leader speak as although India was still social conservative there was a really under belly of poverty in the region as a whole with many working near slave labour level jobs. Many had gathered to hear James speak wanting to hear the dream of the Deltaist party. As James made to the stage a huge roar erupted from the crowd as James calmly smiled showing off his boyish charm. "Thank you New Delhi for the warm welcome." He said into the microphone. "It is a pleasure to be here before you today." He spoke trying to silence the crowd or at the very least get them to be a little quieter. "Thank you again. The Indian region is nothing short of a completely remarkable place where different religion, cultures and ethnicities all live together. The architecture and societies and for me personally the food are amazing. It shows what can be achieved when a common respect is achieved between many different groups. That is the core of the Deltaist party a mutual and common respect for everyone in which we can all succeed and prosper. The Republican party throughout their campaign have repeated the same incorrect rhetoric of that the free market without government interference is the best economic form. I will tell you hear and now that is a sham. The economic form that the Republicans promise does nothing but improve the lives of a select few individuals in this world to which many are party members of the Republican party. Without government interference in order to protect the rights of workers and small businesses we will see the rampant exploitation of the mass public. How does the honourable Mr Jóhannesson seek to avoid this issue. How does he expect right to form trade unions and strike against unfair conditions to be defend if not by the government who can punish companies for their exploitation of their workers. I do believe the honourable Mr Jóhannesson is correct a free market is good but a free market with out government regulation will lead to more unemployment and lower wages for all." James took a step back as he turned to his left facing members of the crowd that had jumped up onto a van.

"I ask you this, what happens when a select few run the major resources in this world. For example what if a company monopolises the water in a town and there is no other way to get safe clean drinking expect paying a huge amount. Mr Jóhannesson would say well in the free market a person would go and build a new pipe, however if you have just came back from working a 20 hour shift in the local factory for a few pound I do not think that anyone would be committed to build a new pipe in between their second job." The crowd let out a laugh. "The free market that Jóhannesson speaks of is a lot like Communism, perfect in theory but terrible in execution. Under our system something like that will never happen because we will encourage innovation, because the people will not be afraid to take a risk because they know there will always be a safety net that they and those close to them will not be left in poverty and thus encouraging that person to leave his job and build that pipeline of water to help his fellow human. Not just that it avoids situations were people have to work long hours for small wages because they are afraid of being fired because they do not have the right to a union nor to strike against the unfair conditions. The flaws in a completely free market are many another example is no control of product standards which will lead to shady business practices. Under a Deltaist system we do not want to control the economy or strangle it under government control but we wish to strike a balance in the economy which will allow companies to expand while keeping the workers out of this world from modern slavery. For many here you know what that is like and that will end with us. For what we will do is reward the hard workers and people who wish to drive the world forward while punishing those that seek to exploit and scam the people of this world."

Tokyo,
South Asian Region
Greens Campaign Event

"Thank you, thank you," Ertan said out to the cheering crowd. He was a popular man in the city given what he was advocating for, "I want to thank all you for giving me such a warm welcome to the future capital of the Japanese Region!"

...

"Japan is one of the most geologically active areas on this planet, so much so that this city, one of the largest urban areas on the planet, is built right next to a volcano, so much so that when an earthquake happens here, people can just wait it out and laugh at the overreacting tourists. Imagine the amount of energy we could use to power the world with what happens every day here!"

...

"Tokyo is truly an inspiration for the rest of the world. The metro system is an inspiration to be followed so we may finally have a truly interconnected world! The environmental regulations that have allowed Tokyo to become one of the cleanest megacities around the world is an inspiration to be followed around the world so that the world's mega-urban population have access to clean, non-toxic, breathable air!

...

What the Government did to the former nations that now make up the East Asian Region, the Eastern Advance and the Invasion of the Japanese Empire, they were just as bad as what they did to Ethiopia! They should pay, and they will pay! They'll pay for the war crimes they've committed around the world, for the war crimes against the Japanese People, for the war crimes against the Chinese People, for the war crimes against the Korean people, and for all the war crimes they committed across this planet during their reign of terror!

Moscow, Russia
Neo-Fascist Campaign Speech

"Hello and good morning!" Leroy said, looking out over the crowd. "Thank you for inviting me here to speak to you."

He fumbled over his notecards, attempting to read from them. "The Neo-Fascist Party would like to, once again, offer condolences to those affected by the Shanghai shooting. Further, it would like to reaffirm that all campaign funds for East Asia will be granted to the region for counter-terrorism purposes."

Leroy paused, moving to the next notecard. "We, as a party, would like to make a move against such terrorism by increasing surveillance and law enforcement power."

Flipping to the next notecard, he allowed it to slip and fall to the floor. He began to move to pick it up, then halted. He set the notecards on a table next to him, peaking without them.

"My apologies. Let me start over."

"What happened in China was horrible, and we hope that the shooter endures all the punishment that should be given for it. This could have been prevented so easily with proper counter-terrorism measures. But what's even more horrible than what happened in China? The fact that shootings and terrorist acts like this happen every fucking day. And what do these politicians do about it? Nothing!"

"I will say a lot of things. You may bot always like them. But I can assure you that I will not lie or speak half-truths to get myself elected. I dont care about politics. I care about fixing things like that."

"Some of you take refuge in the left-wing, which seeks to restrict weaponry. For what? If you have no weaponry, you cannot defend yourself from such horrible events."

"Worse, some of you seek refuge in the Republican Party. The Republican Party will not help you. Continuous speeches, efforts at getting elected? That will not help you."

"Politicians like to bring up minor and unimportant issues. Space exploration. Technology. Environment. Religion. Economy. Representation."

"What matters most is strong, direct, and powerful action against the atrocities of our society. The Republican Party will seek to uphold democracy and representation of the citizenry. The left is so fearful of a powerful government that it has tried to ban members of the former government from running."

"Petty parties and debates and elections will only create division and inaction. While a democracy or ineffective dictatorship is allowed to persist, things like Shanghai will keep happening."

"Please, I beg you, support the party of unity." He froze, as if in deep thought. "Yes, that's it. The new party motto. 'Victory through strength. Strength through unity!'"

The crowd cheered and Leroy walked off stage.

Kolkata, Indian Subcontinental Region, Guðni Jóhannesson Campaign Stop #12

After his stop in East Asia, Guðni returned to one of the Republican party’s strongholds, the Indian Subcontinent, for another stop before he moved on to other parts of the United Earth. He gave his speech at the city’s cricket stadium, where a large crowd of supporters had gathered.

“This election is an extremely decisive one, and you, the people of the Indian Subcontinent, know more than ever how important democracy is. After suffering under the colonialism of the British Raj and the fascist government before this, you have the opportunity to vote. I urge you to vote for the Republican party, and not fall for the fear mongering from the Deltaists.

The Deltaists have intentionally taken my remarks on the free market and its protection to the extreme, when did I ever say there should be no government intervention? Apparently, Mr. Kommenous needs to buy a dictionary, because he thinks ‘none’ and ‘limited’ mean the same thing. I trust you the people to not give in to the fear mongering of the left, the way they twist remarks and use sleazy tactics to paint the opposition.

With that being said, it IS important to have a free market economy with limited government intervention. I will never stand down on that statement, the economy should be controlled by the people, not the politicians. The Communists and Southpaw’s economic plan is nothing but a power grab, they want money, and they will crush you with taxes just to get that money. I ask now, where does that money go? They say it goes to the workers, but we all know that it ends up in the hands of the bureaucracy. We saw it during Stalin’s tyrannical regime in the USSR, and we do not want a repeat of that genocide. The economy will not be controlled by corrupt bureaucrats, the economy will only be controlled by the people, run by the people, and only the people.

Another thing that needs to be preserved is religion. A core pillar of society, religion helps people know their morals. Without religion, there is no strive to be morally correct. There aren’t even morals. A society with a complete and utter lack of religion is a nihilist society, one where human life has no value. This is the dream of the Southpaws, the ones that want to eradicate the cultures and religion that has been passed down for centuries.

We also need to focus on combating radical terrorism. Under Republican leadership, we will make sure the military hunts down and bring terrorist cells to justice. We will make sure that all of these cowardly attacks, like the one that happened in Shanghai, are stopped. We will set up a special military division that’s sole purpose is to hunt down and counter terrorism. It will make sure that there is no actions against the innocent people of the world. We will stand strong against terrorism.

I want to end off my time here by calling you all to action, for our democracy to work, I want you, on April 25th, to go out there and VOTE. Vote, it is the most important thing a citizen could possibly do. You the people choose your leaders, we no longer live in the fascist world that we used to.”

Leroy watched the news channel, stunned at the news.

This was what he wanted to stop. This was what he was fighting. This was what happened when you let freedom go to people's heads.

He opened his laptop, quickly loading up an email, addressed to the leadership of every party in the election.

He muttered the words to himself as he wrote. "My opponents, I have chosen to speak to you at this most dire time in response to the horrors of this separatist movement."

"These rebellious terrorists have threatened to end even more innocent lives. They celebrate the shooter in Shanghai as a hero. Further, the people of China claim that we have done nothing to aid them."

"I ask you, not as an opponent, or even as a member of the Neo-Fascist Party, but simply as a person who wishes to see such horrible acts as the Shanghai shooting end, to meet with me in Beijing tomorrow."

"I hope we can put together some sort of united response. Show China we care."

He paused. "Signed, Marcel Leroy. Victory through strength. Strength through unity."

I am mildly confused, then. Wasnt the shooter working for a group of separatists? This is what I was referring to.
