HM King Peter II of Yugoslavia
Name: Petar II Karađorđević
Culture: Serbian
Party: Neutral
Biography: Born on September 6th, 1923 in Belgrade, Peter was the first son of three born to King Alexander I and Queen Maria of Yugoslavia, thus he was named Crown Prince and heir to the Yugoslavian throne. Peter was fortunate enough to receive the care and education associated with his position, his status and youth shielding him from many of the horrors that plagued Yugoslavia. While he witnessed the widespread poverty brought about by the Treaty of Łódź only in passing, the terror that was wrought by a Macedonian uprising was eventually experienced first hand. While on a state visit to France, King Alexander I of Yugoslavia was gunned down by a group of Macedonian nationalists on October 9th, 1934, an act that many considered to be in retaliation after a failed attempt of Macedonian independence only a few short years earlier. The immediate aftermath of the assassination led to his ascension to the throne as King Peter II of Yugoslavia, a regency being formed under his uncle Prince Paul immediately after his crowning due to Peters young age of eleven.
The next five years of his life went by rather uneventfully as Peter continued his education, preparing for the on day that he would come of age and the regency would no longer be required. Yugoslavia witnessed a short era of peace, growth, and brotherhood amongst the various Slavic cultures as people sought to end the hatred against Macedonians. This period under the regency of Prince Paul would soon come to a crashing end in 1938 after a declaration of war from Italy and subsequent invasion of Yugoslavia that the Italians refereed to as "Operation Neptune". Yugoslavian forces were helpless to stop the invading Italian forces, being swiftly defeated and forced to give up forfeit vast swaths of land despite the Yugoslavian peoples wish to fight on. Only a few short months after their humiliating defeat at the hand of Italy, King Peter II and the royal family were forced to flee their homeland for the United Kingdom after a fascist by the name of Dimitrije Ljotić came to power.
Peter spent most of his first few years in exile continuing his education at the University of Cambridge, his free time was often spent maintaining relations with the French government, which the royal family viewed as their closest ally in one day returning home. Upon finishing his education, Peter relocated to the Hôtel de Crillon in Paris, France, in order to more actively plan for his eventual return to Yugoslavia. It was during his time residing in the Hôtel de Crillon that Peter met Princess Alexandra of Greece and Denmark, the two falling in love and marrying on March 20th, 1944, a son (Alexander) being born to the couple a little more than a year later (July 17th, 1945). It wasn't until 1949 when the fascist regime in Yugoslavia couldn't maintain stability against communist forces that King Peter II of Yugoslavia (with French backing) was finally able to return to Belgrade with the royal family.
For the first time since becoming King of Yugoslavia, Peter was finally able to make full use of the power granted by his position, a regency no longer ruling in his stead as it had when he was a boy. He wasted no time in deposing the former fascist government with French backing, as well as instituting wide reforms which laid the ground work for a democratic government to take shape. Peter further succeeded in seeing the return of Slovenia to the Yugoslavian Kingdom, an action that was achieved bloodlessly in the Treaty of Graz by working hand-in-hand with the French. With his ability to rule proven through his actions, King Peter II of Yugoslavia continues to keep his gaze fixed forward towards the advancement of a unified Yugoslav state.

Name: Drago Marušič
Culture: Slovene
Party: Slovene People's Party - Yugoslav Democratic Party
Biography: Born a Habsburg subject in 1884, Marušič counts among the most respected figures of Yugoslavia. He fought the Austrian-Hungarian monarchy as a youth, as he enlisted to fight with Russia during the First Great War. He became a member of the Yugoslav Committee that was key to ensure the unite of most South Slavic lands at the Paris Peace Conference. He was one of the most vocal opponents to the treaties with Italy, that saw it gain Dalmatian cities. During the First Democratic period, he was among the top figures of the Slovene People's Party and acted as Ban for his home region. A true Yugoslavist, he resisted the separatist attempts of Macedonia as well as the ones who tried to turn Yugoslavia into a magnified Serbia.
When the Italians attacked, he was powerless to stop them, and he refused to abandon his people to live in Belgrade, and remained in Slovenia. He was the head of the Slovene section of the Yugoslav Liberation Movement and thus its de facto leader as well, as the Dalmatian section was crushed by the Italians. Controversialy, he would have given the greenlight to the terrorist actions in Austria, but has remained silent on the issue ever since. He remained hidden in the countryside for years, leading the Yugoslav forces and avoiding capture by the Austrians. As Slovenia was freed, he made his return to Ljubljana, acclaimed by the cheers of the crowd.
Marušič was the driving force that made the Slovene People's Party break away from the Yugoslav National Party in 1957, so as to grant more credits to the reconstruction of the Slovene Lands by allying the Yugoslav Democratic Party. He is more conservative than most of the liberals, and politically he is close to the authoritarian wing of the Yugoslav national Party but he shows strong support for the social-liberals of the Yugoslav Democratic Party. Internally, he supports the King but desires to operate a thorough lustration of Slovenia.

THE INNER THREAT
We Are All Concerned
In Paris, some believe that Communism shouldn't be feared, but all of Yugoslavia knows this is false. Communists are rabid dogs that prey upon everything that is good in this world, and have to be opposed. Communism is a plague and plague must be contained and fought at every occasion. Many of our allies, including the ones in Washington, understand this. But what they fail to see is that Communism and fascism are one and the same. And these mixed feelings towards Fascism are also present in Belgrade, as the Dictatorship has never been formally condemned. I am a man of the right, but I don't like Fascists. Austrians sullied our homeland and keep occupying parts of it, and the humiliation of Neptune has yet to be fully undone.
Belgrade politicians must understand that we cannot tolerate fascism just like we don't tolerate communism. They are objective allies, and all signs of the occupation must be destroyed from Yugoslavia. We were enslaved. We were jailed. We were slaughtered like lambs. And when the valliant Yugoslav Liberation Army freed the country, we were told to respect the property rights of the ones who had expropriated us. How is this acceptable?
My friends, we must end this and the Austrians who keep sullying our great Motherland and who keep exploiting us must feel the people's wrath. Let us nationalize everything they own and send them back to Austria. We aren't beasts, we aren't Austrian, we won'tmake slaves out of them, but let us not allow this artefact of the occupation continue any further. This money will then be used for the people, and for the families of those who were mercilessly killed, as we were considered inferior to them. We aren't, Slovenia and Yugoslavia are the beacon of democracy and freedom in the Balkans, and we will show them that we aren't ones to triffle with!
Long live the King! Long live Slovenia and Yugoslavia!

Affiliation: Yugoslav National Party
Biography:
A former officer in the Royal Yugoslav Army, Novakovic is a staunch royalist and Yugoslavist, who genuinely believes in the wisdom of the royal house and the dream of establishing a pan-Slavic federation to defend against the all-too-similar menaces of communism and fascism. He served with distinction as chief of staff to the commander of the 3rd Division during Operation Neptune, and still burns with the humiliation caused during those few short days by the Italian armored forces. His goal is to strengthen Yugoslavia, both militarily and economically, so that it might regain all of its lost territory and establish itself as a truly modern nation.

Name: Milka Planinc
Culture: Croatian
Party: Yugoslav Socialist Party
Biography: Born of a mixed ethnic Croat and Serb family in Dalmatia, Milka had attended schooling in her local town, until the horrors of the Italian War descended over the territory. Suddenly, her and her family found themselves trapped in a foreign country. Her father was taken by the Italian police, and had never been seen again. In 1941, she was able to move back into Yugoslavia, living in Zagreb has a textile worker under the fascist regime, producing clothes for the regime.
It was here that, at the age of 19, she met with a locksmith named Josip Broz, who was known as "Tito". A devoted Communist, she followed him with his belief that Yugoslavia should be free, and that the fascist regime was going to destroy the country, and eventually incorporate it self into Italy. She fought in several battles during the Civil War, before finally rising through the ranks of the Communist resistance to lead the 18th Zagreb Liberation Brigade. She was captured in the late months of 1949, and was forced to serve five years in jail for her revolutionary activities, and swore an oath not to seek the destruction of the Yugoslav state after being freed.
In 1957, she joined the Yugoslav Socialist Party, due to long-standing hatred for the monarchy, which she considers was the reason her homeland was lost, and still is lost, to the Italians. While still one of the most radical of the Yugoslav Socialists, she sticks to the Socialist Party due to the Communist Party being banned. While not holding any political office at the moment, Milka has shown her desire to try and become a member of the National Assembly, to try and advance the cause of her fellow Socialists, and to articulate her own views on the current state of the nation.
Voices rise that would advocate the blatant persecution of Austrian minorities within this Yugoslavian State, depriving us of our homes and property that we so hold dear. Such an antagonistic move would certainly hinder the Yugoslavian State, both economically, as nationalization leads to fiscal uncertainty, and morally, as the Austrian people face discrimination based solely on ethnicity. Standing resolute against such horrid policies as a beacon for Austrian rights, I shall run for leadership of the Austrian People's and Businesses' Council, and lend my rhetoric to advance the cause of not just Austrians, but all minorities that would certainly face prosecution under the same hand that attempts to smash Austrians.
Furthermore, in pursuit of the economic struggle between the forces of sensible trade policies and those who would steal property from foreign trading partners, I announce my association with the Economic Freedom Movement. Under their aegis of free-market ideals, we risk no chance of international banditry, safe in the knowledge that our business ties will not go severed. Property is an essential right to a free Yugoslavia, deserved by international business and domestic business alike, and it shan't be infringed upon.

A leaflet sighted by many in Sarajevo and its surroundings.
We Bosniaks are our own distinct culture and nation. We are not Muslim Serbs or Muslim Croatians or Ethnic Muslims, as some have proposed. Our faith is not an ethnicity. We are culturally and ethnically Bosniaks and Islam is our predominant faith. We must strive to spread the consciousness of the Bosniak people. They must understand this despite of the fact that their identity is currently denied.
Yugoslavia is the homeland of South Slavs. The Croat, the Serb, the Slovene, the Macedonian each has their own nation inside Yugoslavia. They are each a recognized ethnicity. Now it is time to bring equality, and recognize the Bosniak Nation. The Bosniak Nation needs to be gradually welcomed to their own Banovina, unifying the ethnic Bosniak lands currently divided inside the Banovinas of Serbia and Croatia. The Bosniaks must be recognized as one of the rich and diverse cultures that make up our Slavic homeland.
We Bosniaks are Yugoslavs, but we are not Serbs or Croatians.
This will not be easy. We must understand the complex ethnic makeup of the Bosnian homeland of Bosnia-Herzegovina and Sandžak. Any change in this area must not be rushed; otherwise we might risk tragic consequences. But we nonetheless call upon those in Belgrade to hear our calls. These voices are calling for equality, echoing through the whole Bosniak land, from Sarajevo to Novi Pazar, from Mostar to Bihac. But let it be made clear, a Bosniak Banovina is our ultimate dream and goal.
The sole way to further this goal is national, democratic dialogue in the field of politics. After the defeat of the extremists it is now possible. For this dialogue we need a movement representing Bosniak interests, Bosniak ethnicity, and our bošnjaštvo! This is why we have started to hold meetings, dialogue and discussion of Bosniaks. Intellectuals, clerics, state employees, merchants, common Bosniaks from any field of political spectrum and from various backgrounds hold regular meeting in Sarajevo, at the house of Corbadžić. They seek to discuss the political goals and demands of the Bosniak people. They – we – you are the Bosniak National Congress.
Bosniaks. The eve of your recognition is nearing. Join the discussion at the Bosniak National Congress and help us shape a proud party, a popular political movement, of the Bosniaks of Yugoslavia.
Mahir Corbadžić
On the Bosniak Nation
We Bosniaks are a South Slavic people. Since the year 1463, we Bosnians have not had a nation of their own. Since 1463, our rights have not been accepted and we have not been recognized. The Turks used to define us based on our tribes. In 1878, there were hopes of freedoms which were quickly crushed as the Austro-Hungarian Imperialists took over our sacred land. Yet the Austrians at least recognized our bošnjaštvo, our Bosniakhood. Yet this didn’t mean we had actual ethnic rights compared to others. Now some seek to define us based on our faith. But none of these definitions is real.
We Bosniaks are our own distinct culture and nation. We are not Muslim Serbs or Muslim Croatians or Ethnic Muslims, as some have proposed. Our faith is not an ethnicity. We are culturally and ethnically Bosniaks and Islam is our predominant faith. We must strive to spread the consciousness of the Bosniak people.

Ibro was born on his parent’s estate, located a few kilometers south of Sarajevo, three years before the Great War begun. His father, despite being wealthy, harbored socialist views which he passed over onto his offspring. He also meticulously planned his son’s lives – from their career to their relationships, he maintained total controlled. He also made sure that his sons were religious, since he firmly believed that the Quran goes hand in hand with Socialist ideology.
Ibro finished his education with very good results, and went on to become a Doctor in Sarajevo. During the Italian War he voluntarily joined the military, and worked in field hospitals helping Yugoslav soldiers and civilians. The horrors he witnessed changed him permanently, and drove him to joining politics.
He began campaigning for Bosnian equality, freedom of religion and socialist ideals. He was not very successful; mostly due to the fact he could only campaign for short amounts of times after work. In the early 1950’s he met Mahir, and attended his Conferences. After his father died, leaving him a large sum of money, he decided to quit his job and become a full time politician. He is now a member of the Bosniak National Congress.

Name: Major General Aleksandar Anto ( Александар Анто )
Culture: Serbian
Party: Yugoslav National Party
Biography:
Aleksandar was born on On November 24th, 1915, two months before the fall of Serbia to the Central Powers. His father, Andrija fought the Austrians and Bulgarians during the invasion and during the final days of the Serbian campaign he escaped on a French ship to Greece where he supposedly continued to fight the war alongside the Allied soldiers. Aleksandar never saw his father again and continued to live his life in the Southern town of Vranje.
Following in his father's footsteps, Aleksandar joined the Yugoslav Armed Forces as a officer and sore through the ranks. During the Italian invasion of Yugoslavia, Aleksandar commanded a large amount of troops along the Albanian border. With the crushing blow delivered by the Italians, Aleksandar was taken prisoner and was released after the war. He then continued his military career living with his wife in Southern Serbia.
During the civil war of '49, Aleksandar was promoted to the rank of Major General and commanded an entire division that was based in southern Yugoslavia.

This made Aleksandar a very popular man among the people in his local electoral district, with the opportunity to become a member of the National Assembly he started campaigning and was elected, gaining a seat in the National Assembly.
Being a very patriotic Yugoslav and very much in favour of a unified Yugoslav identity, Aleksandar chose the Yugoslav National Party as his party of choice, voting for them every election and representing them as a member of the National Assembly.

Name: Colonel General Milan Kalafatović
Culture: Serb
Party: Yugoslav National Party
Biography: Born on March 5th 1897 to a wealthy family in Niš, Milan grew up with luxury. Whilst being educated at one of the best schools in the city the Balkan Wars broke out and Milan attempted to join the Army but was refused due to him being under aged. However, two years later, when World War I broke out, Milan managed to gain entry to the army by lying about his age. Serving dutifully during the war he had reached the rank of First Lieutenant. Three years later he was part of the detachment of the army that intervened in the Hungarian Civil War, but it was quickly defeated and pulled out later in the year. For the next few years he served dutifully in various posts and was promoted twice, once to Captain and then a second time to Captain First Class. In 1930 when Macedonian rebels attempted to free the province from Yugoslavia he was part of the army group that entered the province and squashed the revolt. However they faced a hard time attempting to keep peace and it was whispered that Milan and the soldiers he was responsible for committed unnecessary violence against the local populace. Three years following the operations he was promoted to Colonel and then moved to service in General Staff. One of the greatest shocks to Yugoslavia would come in 1939 with the Italian attack codenamed 'Operation Neptune', which was a number of lightning attacks by the Italian Army that utterly destroyed the Yugoslav Army and culminated in Yugoslavia losing Slovenia to Austria and swaths of the coastal regions to Italy. In the months following the democratic government fell and Dimitrije Ljotić, a Fascist, seized control of the nation. In the purges that followed Milan was left unscathed owing to his political beliefs and record of service. In two years he received rapid promotion to Major General and then Lieutenant Colonel General. The following year he was also named Deputy Chief of the General Staff and after building a friendship with Ljotić he received a further promotion in 1945 to Colonel General and Chief of the General Staff. He continued his devoted service and when a civil war broke out in 1949 he fought on the government's side. He continued his service in the army even when Ljotić was forced to step down in the year and a democratic government took shape. Stepping down as Chief of the General Staff in 1953, Milan continued to serve in the army until his eventual retirement the following year, which marked his 40th year of service and his 57th birthday. Following his retirement he joined the Yugoslav National Party and was elected to the National Assembly. Now he seeks re-election and hopes to rise in the government.

ELECTION TIMES
We now have over 15 players, the required minimum. This means elections can begin.
The IC month is now February, and players have until the end of February to campaign via IC. So long as you don't do something stupid (campaign to have a revolution against the government and be annexed into Italy for example) and you are not a member of the Royal Family, you can rather easily be elected to the National Assembly.
You can run for running the Ethnic Councils, Non-Governmental Organizations, and Parties. This is mainly based off of NPC votes due to your influence value and IC posts. These organizations may also throw weight behind you if you campaign on things they like. For example, campaigning on low trade barriers and further European integration may win you the support of the Yugoslav Commercial Union, and if you run for its Chairmanship, you can use its influence as well.
You may also put forward your candidacy for Premiership of the National Assembly or the Banovinas. These positions will be filled after the first round of elections, by appointment by the King and Bans respectively.
So, how should it all look? Some variation of this:
If you are Premier, that is your sole job. If you are a Member of the Assembly, you may also run a party or an NGO. Assuming the current Fronts are maintained after elections, the Chair of the Yugoslav National Party also is the Chair of the Yugoslav Union of Patriots; the Chair of the United Opposition Front cycles per election (currently Yugoslav Democratic Party); and the Chair of the Yugoslav Socialist Party is also Chair of the Popular Front for Socialism.
If you just wish to run an NGO or Party, that is fine too, but you cannot vote on Legislation like other members.
