Election 2015 - The Results



████████████████████████████████
The final results displayed no clear majority in either of the main parties.
After post-election negotiations, the Liberal Conservatives have formed a coalition government with the Union Independence Party.


Number of seats:
Unelected (░)
Liberal-Conservative () - 64
Labour Party () - 56
Union Independence Party () - 7
Workers Coalition Party () - 0
Union Communist Party () - 4
Alliance Verte () - 5
Franco Parti de l'Indépendance () - 0
Other () - 0



After 24 hours of last minute campaigning, all valid votes have been counted and produced a hang parliament.

Neither of the two main parties, Liberal-Conservations or the Labour, have been able to succeed in gaining a clear majority.

Whilst the Liberal Conservatives have four more seats than Labour, as it is below the 70 seat threshold needed, they cannot claim power.

Like the Labour Party, they must attempt to form a coalition, by getting a party to agree to form a majority government with them.

████████████████ Lib-Con - 64
██████████████ Labour - 56
██ U.I.P. - 7
█ A.V. - 5
█ U.C.P. - 4
I W.C.P. - 0
I F.P.I. - 0
I Other/Independent - 0
Final results in descending order.

██████████████████
Lib-Con/U.I.P. Coalition - 71 seats


"If the past six months have told us anything, we are likely to gain a Labour Government," - Miss Joanna Bolton, Political Editor of the Isenburg Times.

"Labour have maintained close ties with the Communist Parties and Alliance Verte, as they predicted that this would occur."

"They haven't always seen eye-to-eye with the U.I. Party, but Mr Barage never ruled out joining them in a coalition."

Isenburg is abuzz at the moment, with phones said to be "ringing non-stop" in party political headquarters up and down the country.

Update: 21:00 local time
After an hour of negotiations between the numerous party, the Liberal-Conservatives have announced the formation of a surprise coalition with the Union Independence Party.

Even though Labour is still in talks with the Workers and Verte parties, it still would not be enough to claim a majority.

Bhikkustan prepares for battle!

After the unprovoked attack on Bhikkustani ships in international waters by Eurania, Bhikkustan has called for a mobilization of men. The Bhikkustani military is on standby, and they are preparing to defend themselves. Bhikkustan has moved ships into the Kavju sea,
Eurania has provoked us by illegally shelling our ships that were located in international waters. We shall not tolerate this attack on our nation, and we have decided to mobilize the army. we have not attacked these lying toads, but our men stand ready for any provocation. we shall defend Bhikkustan to the best of our capabilities. Any further attacks by Eurania shall be regarded as an act of war. to the tyrants of Eurana, remember this. Bhikkustan shall stand firm against your inhumane regime. your war crimes may have been ignored so far, but we stand ready to stop the spread of your vile communist regime.

EPC declares annexations "an act of war"


The EPC expressed clear disgust and anger at Bhikkustani troops landing south of Eurania. Mikoyan Systen released a statement.

The act of sending armed troops to those islands are a violation of the rights of those living there and a serious threat to Eurania. Annex any closer and you will pay consequences.


The majority of the EPC has not voted on another decision to again increase funding for the military.

the Docket
the 6th of November


Peacekeeping Forces Sent Into Unclaimed Land.

After relations between Bhikkustan and Eurania imploded, the Defence and Military Peace Cabinet made a last minute to send in peacekeeping troops to keep peace between Eurania and Bhikkustan in any event there is any military engagements. For the last couple days, Coryna has also been attempting to shoot Communist troops, and has been agressing lately. Stoming Correspondent Jon Belushi and Politalks Now Editor Shawna Roschlof had preivioulsly talked, and here is a talk on the relations.

JB: I'm here with Shawna Roschlof on the Eurano-Bhikku relations. Miss Roschlof, what are your outlooks on this situation?
SR: With intensifying military action, I think military movement is very likely. Eurania has made it very clear that they don't want anyone to invade airspace or sea nearby.
JB: Has the "International Blockade" done anything to decrease morale, or anything of the sort?
SR: With left-wing governments, they will most likely use it as an attack on foreign nations and capitalism about their and the people's sovereign rights, which we see a lot with regimes like these.
JB: How about the annexation or "Anschluss' as we call it, on land near Eurania?
SR: [laugh], well, honestly, the whole part where Bhikkustan talks about "illegally shelling" their ships is a whole blatant lie. 20 kilometers are the maximum length of naval borders. Bhikkustan, as reported by our naval soldiers, recently arrived, were actually extremely close to a coast where many civilians are on vacations, like a resort.
JB: Coryna?
SR: They have also violated sovereign airspace. Any air above the nation is a direct violation of international borders. Any simple-minded Cadet knows that.
JB: Did you know that the Defence and Military Peace Cabinet is sending peace-keeping troops into Bhikkustan Annexed Territory?
SR: [Sits straight up]. What? [Relaxes]. Actually, these are relatively small nations we are talking about. They can't dent a influential nation's army. Anything will be in vain. But, all I'm saying is that we should send in Vanguard soldiers. They are good, at, ahem, removing persons.
JB: Well, that's all for today.

The votes are in, and a shocking number of voters have voted to repeal Defense Minister Spaulding Ergon for his inadequate handling of the Eurania crisis. HS Cerule is relieved. "I have advocated a neutrality stance in conflicts, and, frankly, am grateful for this removal," said the famously impolite Head. However, some have accused her of bowing to foreign accusations of hostility and international politics. Riots of warhawks are taking place in Jhuya Maris. Others are grateful, while the strong immigrant community has expressed distaste for the decision.
Cerule stated that "We will stay out of Euranian airspace, due to requests from our allies and the foreign community. Though we will continue to accept immigrants, our Air Force is currently under scrutiny. We will stay out of the conflict as long as the conflict stays away from us, and until a report of human rights abuses comes in."

Eurania unveils prototype vehicles at Victory Day


Euranians in Warsawyev and across Eurania were greeted by troops, planes, and surprisingly, prototype vehicles originally developed under the republican government. The security was extra tight, with soldiers everywhere, including those who were not performing. The majority of the EPC was at the parade, too.

In the parade the General President, Mikoyan Systen, gave a speech. Then the Euranian anthem, Ipva Yuka, was sung. After that the equipment rolled in, only a block away from the legislative building.

SMI-2 Team brings down Terrorist leader

Today an SMI-2 team infiltrated a large cargo ship that was being used by notrious terrorist leader, Ioakim Georgiy Adaksin, who has been a large international drug smuggler, and took part in raids on commericial shipping in the Mesder Sea area. Special Forces infiltrated by RHIB boats at 02:00 in the morning. They received no casualties and as far as we can tell captured Adaksin and killed everyone else on board the ship. The PSNS Ragnarok then towed the ship back to a Svalbardian Naval base.
A video was released. The video was leaked by unknown sources who titled it, why terrorists should be very afraid. We warn you it is highly graphic. It shows multiple people being shot, people getting... throats cut, and other deaths of these terrorists. Either way we are very glad and appreciative of our soldiers, who are making everyone safer. Good night.

President is Pregnant, Death in the Witney House, Scarlett Tour Dates & Locations Announced, Military Conflict

Earlier today President Antionette announced her pregnancy with her husband Mikl. The couple are very pleased and excited with the news and cannot wait to grow their family. President Antionette has stated that she hopes to have at least 3 children before the age of 30. However this news comes at a rather sad time as Vice President Laurent Dupont's husband Clovis was found dead last night at the Witney house, it is said he had a stroke. Neither Vice President Dupont or President Antionette have commented on the death of Clovis and so far the entire Le Domaine Jaune administration has been incredibly vague on his death. The last time Clovis and Laurent were seen together was at last weeks Hope for Children Gala.

Tyr's New Album and his Regional Tour

Album Cover Art for Never Sleep
Image


Earlier this week, Tyr released his new album, titled Never Sleep, signed to 4PRecords. It's lead single, which is what the album is named after, has already risen to the top 5 on the Isles Hot 100 and is still rising. The album placed at #4 at it's release and has sold over 1.3 million copies sold already, making it the most rapidly selling album of the decade. The platinum singer-songwriter's album had been highly anticipated, and on Tuesday during his appearance on the Night Show, announced a regional tour.

Tickets will go on sale starting on November 22, with the first tour dates to be scheduled between early January and early February. Over 15 million copies of his first album, named Pillars, have sold within the Isles, with over 10 million copies sold within the Four Passages. Tour dates will be posted as they arrive, as they are being finalized.

Along with the album, one of the songs in it is a co-write between Tyr and platinum singer-songwriter Scarlett, of the PPU. The couple has been together for the past year, and this is their first co-release, titled Amour Rouge. It debuted at #3 when released as a single in late October, and has held the number 1 spot in the Isles Hot 100 for the past week. A joint part of both of their tours is expected, but has yet to be verified.

After a morning signing, the Eurania Cosmos Administration (ECA) was established as the government-operated space agency. A statement by Mikoyan Systen was released.

Eurania is proud to have a space agency and will do its best under its power to unlock the secrets of the universe.


A launch complex, the Eurai Cosmodrome (Euranian: Kosmodrom Eurai) is nearing its finishing date. Five launch sites have been established, with a goal of more variating types of launch pads. The complex's railroad network and hangars and command centers are already finished, however.

First President Of Maiperbia Elected

One era gave way to another era in Maiperbia today. The nation officially waved a fond farewell to its Monarchy and a warm welcome to the new democratic republic. About a month ago, King Joseph announced he was to stand down and would not be succeeded by another King, or even a Queen for that matter, but rather a democratically voted in President. The candidates' election campaigns got underway rapidly and the votes were placed and the ballots counted. The new President of the new Democratic Republic of Maiperbia is Joy McLeod of Democratic Socialist Party. She vowed to; free the Maiperbian borders, decrease the size of the military and lower tuition fees for students. There is an sense of optimism around Maiperbia as she looks forward to the future.

OSA Announces New Space Station

After the announcement of Journey I, OSA also announced the launch of a second satellite station expected by the end of the year. They have been working on launching a new space station since Gateway I went down, they dubbed it Stargate-A. Said to be the most advanced of its time, Stargate-A has a greater lifespan and more technology than Gateway I ever did. Stargate-A is the first of multiple stations and the first stages of contruction on the station have already begun. Only five Stargate stations are planned, though there have been others that were scrapped due to time. The cost of this advancement is immense, greater than Journey I's cost of about 16 Billion. Stargate-A alone is said to cost more than 20 billion. Expected launch of Stargate-A is mid-2016 to early-2017.

A few minutes ago from Launch Complex M (manned)10, the Euranian Cosmos Administration (ECA) launched one of its K7 Launch Vehicles (LV), although the vehicle used was a variant of the main model. The main purposes was to test the rocket's functionality, on how it can go into a proper orbit, and testing vital components needed before development of the main model modules. The rocket was unmanned, with on a flight vehicle as a dummy vehicle to test the effects and technologies. The ECA is planning to keep the vehicle in orbit until tomorrow afternoon.

The Serious Divide Between Jagellonian Sports Teams


The divide between sports teams and their fan bases have always been strong, but recently it has gotten more serious. With the beginning of The Jagellonian Football League, (JFL) things have heated up higher than usual. In a game in Penunsk, a fan from New Theveste was beaten up by Jewish Orthodox Penunsk Fans.

This caused protests and riots in New Theveste, the small Jewish Orthodox section in New Theveste was raided by Christian New Theveste fans and some buildings were set on fire, including a synagogue. Six people were killed, 21 injured, 14 severly, and two women reported to the police that they were raped.

Image

In Penunsk, which was two football teams, fans set up borders between neighborhoods. The divides between fans can be seen here.

Image

The divides has spray paint, mini fences made up all different materials, and flags of each team's logos. Fans have guards and checkpoints with all sorts of guns and knives. There has been 13 reported deaths Penunsk. Six of which coming from a shootout. Luckily the madness in Penunsk is only in the Southwestern Districts. The Catholic area in Penunsk and Jewish Area in New Theveste is heavily guarded by The Jagellonian Military and local police forces. The JFL is threatening to shut down the league for the rest of the year.

In Nyewarszawa, the situation isn't very good either. The city is 47% Jewish, and 45% Catholic. The Catholics are mostly in the north, and The Jews are mostly in the south. Five deaths have been reported in Nyewarszawa, and the government has now issued a law that Jews are not allowed in the north, and Catholics are not allowed in the south. The jews living in the north and catholics living in the south have been placed in hotels. This is for the safety of the Jagellonian People.

The Worst case is in Wawelsk, a crime ridden city on Morigauger Island, in Northeast Jagellion. There are three main gangs that own Wawelsk. Dawid el- Garuch and St. Mary's Angels are currently in an all out war. Dawid el- Garuch is Jewish, and St. Mary's Angels in Catholic. There has been 64 deaths in Wawelsk since October 28. The city is in full lockdown, and there are currently 1,000 sodiers guarding the city. The city has a huge cloud of smoke hovering over it from all the fires and riots in the city.

This has turned from a small sports issue into a nationwide religious issue. Fortunately outside of these cities the situation is okay.The King has spoken on this issue and said this madness must be stopped.

Final Hawkins-Class Frigate Completed For Miklanian Navy

The final Hawkins class frigate, the Norris was launched today amid much fanfare here in Aubreyston. Wilder Shipbuilding, the designer and manufacturer of most of the Navy's vessels has delivered eight to the Miklanian Navy and seven to the Navy of Alantania. The modern frigate boasts a massive VLS deck, extremely powerful radars capable of targeting satellites and ballistic missiles in space, and missiles to take them out. The frigate is not all high end capability, however, the design is based off the smaller National Security Cutter, procured for the Coast Guard. The frigate version retains the multi-mission capabilities, including a flight deck and hangar for two helicopters, a boat ramp for embarking smaller interceptor craft, and sonars for anti-submarine warfare.
Image

The Hawkins class are all named for former Secretaries of the Treasury and Interior. Secretary Arnold Norris was Secretary of the Interior from 1901-1910, and founded some of the most famous national parks in Miklania. This is the second ship in Miklanian history to bear his name.

On Government: Checks and balances and ways of stopping things from happening are the only things that provide a stable government and a stable society.

On Democracy: It is a very neutral thing. It can be the best way of ensuring a reasonable government, or it can lead to genocide in the name of 'the people'.

On NSG: I believe the technical term for you people is "malformed conscience".

On society: Until reason and science become cool again, the "enlightened" who profess both but practice neither will continue to gleefully chip away at the bedrock of human society.

Bhikkustan/Eurania


Spy plane shot down

Today hopes that tensions between Bhikkustan and Eurania would calm down were shattered when a Euranian spy plane was shot down over Bhikkustan. The plane was flying at 21000 meters before it accidentally lost altitude, which alerted Bhikkustan's peacetime radar network. Fighter planes were dispatched and the plane was shot down. The plane was completely destroyed, and the pilot was killed when it crashed. Bhikkustan has activated its more powerful radar network to protect against such invasions of our nation.

Khan Surevi released this statement:
"My fellow Bhikkus. Today Eurania has overstepped themselves, and undertaken spying procedures that are suited to wartime. They ignore our soveriegnty, believing us to be a weak opponent. If they want a war, they shall get one. If they do, they shall find no easy targets. The blood of Genghis flows in our veins. We shall destroy them like the vermin they are.

But we are also wiser than them. Buddha himself spoke of peace, and we shall follow his wisdom. We do not wish for combat, but will fight if needed. We shall not go willingly into combat, but we will not baulk if it is the only option. The world feared the Mongols of old, and if provoked we shall give them cause to fear the new Mongols.

We issue this declaration to Eurania. Stop all acts of war towards us. Step down from your hateful ways. We demand a cease to all aggression fom you, and an apology for this. If you do not stop your actions, we shall be at war."

After this address Surevi went down to the Samadhi military barracks and gave another speech there. Bhikkustan has increased military spending, and has begun training its armed forces.

SBSN (Shri Bhumidol Seythi Network)


Historic Social and Military Restructuring Plan Enacted by the National Cabinet
Kanchenjunga, K.C.R., Bhumidol - Following the close of the second mandated plenary session of the National Parliament, the National Cabinet has enacted sweeping reforms which it has described as a, "long-term posturing", in response to increasing regional tensions with regional nations. Although tensions with the Polar Svalbardian regime have been described as the most direct issue at hand, concerns raised over rising tensions in the local regional sphere have additionally prompted the Bhumhalese Nationalist Party Politburo to urge the National Parliament to consider reforms to the current system.

After close to a month of deliberation with various social, economic, and international experts, earlier today, the National Cabinet inaugurated the existence of the Bhumhalese Globalization Restructurization Act. Key, sweeping social provisions of the act have given English the same priority as Bhumhalese in the educational curriculum, initiated nationwide privatization of public education, and reformed national secularization policy including limitations of the administrative abilities of the Ministry of Social Harmony.

The BGR Act has also given the green light for the expansion of Bhumhalese military capabilities over the next few years. The act slims the number of people serving in the military, while simultaneously placing greater emphasis on naval and air power and defense, allocating for a 3.2% military budget expansion for the next fiscal year.

Several key socio-economic provisions in the act have also ended the nation's no-immigration policy. Part of the provisions of BGRA sets up a Ministry of Immigration & Naturalization, which has been filed underneath the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and between the MFA and Ministry of Economy. Being an industrialized nation, Bhumidol's birthrates have, for the past twelve years, been lower than replacement levels, worrying government and economic officials that a potential economic slowdown may occur if nothing is done soon. At current, the act places an immigration quota of 200, a balance that the government acknowledges will not fill the birth-death rate imbalance anytime soon, but has stated is necessary in order to evaluate the social impacts of immigration on the nation's well-being.

The government has also instituted the creation of Sumadhya's (Children Day Centers) around the nation's capital for children from ages 4-18, hoping that greater availability of children care services would incentivize Bhumhalese couples to have more children around the capital region. The idea of paid maternity leave had been floated by the government as well, but for reasons currently unknown, has failed to make it's way into the newly enacted BGRA.

Social analysts have estimated that the Bhumhalese government would need to accept roughly 53,000 immigrants a year in order to prevent long-term population decline. This would result in an estimated 620,000 immigrants residing in Bhumidol by the time the first naturalization period arrives, making foreign internationals comprise 2.1% of Bhumidol's population, a prospect than many Bhumhalese, old and young, are unnerved by.

Many liberal groups within Bhumidol, including the several Communist parties and the Mandapan Worker's Party, have expressed their reservations on this resolution. They have described, and regarded the BGRA as a, "backwards, theocratic piece of legislation", noting that privatization of schools effectively hands control of public schools to local Buddhist orders, and could potentially foster theocratic, non-progressive sentiments in the future.

Words do not mean, they act...

Nothing -- When one is for nothing, all the troubles of the mind inherited from the world fall away, and a concise consciousness will give you everything you wish for...

Nothing -- For if one is against nothing, there exist no enemy to subjugate, but only an infinite number of friends which right logic must sublimate...
