Overview
The United States of Silverdale is the southernmost nation in the region of Mystria. The people are known to have a spiritual connection with nature and develop a harmonic relationship with their people. As such, they maintain caring relationships with the spirits of nature, the development of civilization founded by the gift of Dahlia known as the potato and Adelio’s blessings for bountiful riches of the sea.
Silverdale was established by the wisdom and spiritual guidance of Aurora, who united the many races across the land to become one nation under the dale system. Within this harmonic balance, a Silveredalean and other races of Mystria such as the penguins of Icy Coast, Equloine humans, ponies of Cherial, the fey creatures, and many others found peace. However, after the disappearance of Aurora, the nation fell into disarray and leadership was placed in the once virtuous Regent Black Clover became mad with power. A destructive civil war took place in Silverdale as the republican rebels fought back against the mad king and its fascists goons, and freed the nation to become a republic. An age of liberty, freedom, and harmony was founded, and Silverdale became a shining beacon of light in the Southern Mystria Region.
In recent times, however, there is a growing dissatisfaction within the public towards the democratic system. The previous three presidential administrations broke many promises and roll back popular laws. A pledge for leadership and aid to the need across the land turned into internal focus and hypocritical inaction. A cynical and spiteful media who merciless changed the public eye against Former President Littlepip in her first time, and funded by pip’s political enemies. In time dubious time where it seems that nothing is done, a cry from change is in order. While President Fluffykins aims to ease the fears from varieties of terrorist threats and corners for the wellbeing of the republic, the worst has yet to come…The return of Princess Snow is an omen for the coming darkness of winter.
National Issues
Statehood and Representation of the Oceanic Seaborn
As the affairs of land and air had been managed, Silverdale has difficulties in maintaining its vast underwater territory. Beyond the reaches of the sealines between the coastal and island states, many of the seaborn folks lack the right to vote and are underrepresented due to lack of foresight and development for a significant patch of land in the Aurora Ocean and Snow Sea. Due to the great depths and lack of technology, a census of the actual population who is loyal to Silverdale is needed. Thus the debate comes in to reorganize the territories in the Aurora Ocean and Snow Sea to grant statehood to allow the many sea people to participate in elections, and federal development plans is needed.
Restoration of the Seasonal Throne
What plagued Silverdale into twelve years of discord and the civil war is the succession of the throne. While many believe that the heir must be related to the Queen and provide spiritual guidance to bring harmony between nature and the nations, others proclaim it is the right of one’s noble blood that is atoned. These debates faded away long after the revoke of the nobility, however, its echoes approached when Princess Snow resurfaced from the South Pole. The current debate is the position of the true heir’s position in Silverdale politics and the question of restoring the Seasonal Throne.
Homeland Security
With the recent monster attacks, assassination attempt of the president, and terrorist attacks, there is an ongoing debate on an increase of security and surveillance in Silverdale. While President Fluffykins and the Rose Party believe that it’s unnecessary and inflicts civil liberties, while a more effective means of combating its ideology and literal threat is required. Others criticized her that they need to watch over these groups to see a potential future threat would emerge.
Agricultural Land Reforms
From the food shortages from the Kraken Wars shown the nation that Silverdale is overly dependent on foreign imports of food of various kinds, such as tropical to cheaper food. The current issue is to reform to allow federal land sold off to farmers and increase incentive for food production such as potatoes, and fishing rights. Opposition from the green party and religious sect fears that the reforms would lead to great amount deforestation and the destruction of sacred groves.
Space Focus: Militarization
While Silverdale was not affected by the recent alien invasions across Mystria, there is a growing concern among the people and military officials of possible alien threats that may attack the nation. Trust in space friends is one thing, but there is no base or actual installed presence for a quick response to raids or full scale-invasions. Thus, the debate is to either establish a strong satellite and anti-orbital ship defense network, a space command force with a fledgling space fleet or not engage with astronomical affairs.
Strengthen Immigration policy of Midgard and beyond!
Silverdale promotes the opportunity for those who can make it into Silverdale from the poor to the skill to migrant into the land. However, the fantastic loophole of Summoners who call upon beings from other worlds to the recent increase of asylum seeking refugees from different planes of existence. Worries of the dangers of Summoners from the Mist continent and beings behind who wish to move arose, as questions of Fluffykins Administration policies roll in. While Fluffykins spoke that the Treefolk Summoners are in need for a place to say and potential skillful talents from beyond can help Silverdale, the Nationalists claims that terrorists and monsters within these flow of migrants would bring discord upon the nation.

Example: I donate $X Silverdalean Bits to Y campaign.
The funding will be used for the ongoing campaign across Silverdale, and may float around to to be saved or spent on other activities. Any candidate who lacks the funds may place their campaign on hold, disappear, or drop out of the race. Whatever happens, they’ll wait and see on election day.
Any foreign bodies can also provide press coverage to invitations for a debate with the candidates, but they can refuse such requests. Any special actions that may be deemed illegal must be encrypted or be telegram to Legokiller.
