as the Nation is still paralyzed from the attack that happened almost 24 hours ago , South Africa is doubting whether that Prime Minister Dick Cheney might lead South Africa into a new golden age or not , however polls show that he has a 90% approval rate and many people want him to win a first term in the upcoming elections against Charlton Heston of the Jamesian First Party as a tribute to Prime Minister Ian Smith , one of the slain victims of the 2029 DominionVision Shooting

One thing is certain , the Fabulous Twenties and Camelot are gone , the Swinging Thrities and the Cheney Era is here to stay
OOC: Only South Africa (and Alts ) and TJR (and Alts) can post

[The Jamesian Republic]

It is 2029 and The Jamesian Republic and Gaia has come a long way. Philip Miller is the 39th president serving his second and final term. Puerto Marte The J.R. Saint Islands Bula Nautilus Islands and Jamesian Tamoa have become states of the republic. Gaia also made contact with extraterrestrials in their own universe. Starting next year they will come to Gaia after vaccines were developed to fight extraterrestrial diseases for human use. Robots are demanding their emancipation and their equity. Fossil fuels and other polluting fuels and energy sources are becoming obsolete with the creation of the Universal Drive. A clean and infinitely renewable energy and fuel source. The 2030s are shaping to become a turning port in Gaia’s history.

Promise you'll stay with us in Twenty Thirty

It's strictly up to you.

But it's Ramaphosa Ramaphosa

It's strictly up to you

And it's Ramaphosa , Ramaphosa ,Ramaphosa ,Ramaphosa

As a response to the Favorable Polls that show Prime Minister Cheney is likely to win ( due to growing nostalgia for Camelot during this month after a period of Tragic Self Doubt) the Ramaphosa Campaign decided to release its own song


[Intro]
Elspeth for Prime Minister
Elspeth for Prime Minister
Elspeth for Prime Minister
Elspeth for Prime Minister

[Chorus]
You like Elspeth, I like Elspeth everybody likes Elspeth (for Prime Minister)
Hang out the banner and beat the drum

Let's do that big job right
Let's get in step with the gal thats hep
Get in step with Elspeth

[Chorus]
You like Elspeth, I like Elspeth , everybody likes Elspeth (for Prime Minister)
Hang out the banner and beat the drum
We'll take Elspeth to Pretoria

[Verse 2]
We've got to get where we are going
Travel day and night (for Prime Minister )
Let Charlton go the other way
We'll all go with Elspeth (for Prime Minister)

You like Elspeth , I like Elspeth, everybody likes Elspeth (for Prime Minister)
Hang out the banner and beat the drum
We'll take Elspeth to Pretoria

OOC: in 2037 , it will go full on psychedelic and hippies will become popular , however unlike the real life hippies , they wont be able to change the fashion of the decade due to most people still wanting to dress like the 1950s (even the mid and late 1960s , 1970s , 1980s , 1990s , 2000s , and 2010s have been dressing like the 1950s for a while however sukebans , punk and metalheads exist)

Also The "cultural decade" of the 2030s is more loosely defined than the actual decade. It begins around 2029 - 2037 with the 2029 DominionVision Shootings , the Beach Boys arrival in South Africa and their meeting with Bob Dylan, and will probably end around 2039 or 2045
