Semi-realism. It amuses me that El Pip will probably type up an answer to this li'l post.

Through and Through, another vote for T&T.
I don't know how much longer I can wring out posts that are marginally more than simply the letters 'T&T', and I hope not to find out, but if I have to, then I will. It feels oddly appropriate, all this heated lobbying for inconsequential choices, while the rest of the world burns (or, more accurately, while the Red Army creeps closer every day).
Much as I have set myself against the Tankist Faction, I must salute Davout's latest effort. Very admirable.

Quite appropriate indeed, now that I think of it. Kinda shows us how sometimes reality, or rather the semi-realism of this forum world, can be quite fitting in a Tiso and Tuka atmosphere. That's as good a reason as any to go for semi-realism, is it not?
The longer we go on, the more i wonder where the line between semi-realism and T&T inspired event would be. Would T&T take more account of the in-game situation perhaps, or place the Slovak forces according to the outcome of a hipflask game?
There is only one way to find out, vote for a T&T inspired event.

'T&T' in Spanish would be 'T y T', which is proof positive that one should vote T&T on any day that has 'y' in it. And look at the day! Sunday! I spy a 'y' - time to vote T&T. Again.

A pretty famous figure in Dutch history and probably both Stuyvesant's and this pack of cigarettes' namesake
EDIT: Lest I forget - Semi realism, tally ho!

Interesting, I haven't known about that.
Yes, the last Dutch governor of New Amsterdam (AKA New York). I picked the nickname for its historic resonance, but I must admit that I, too, first came across the name in our local tobacconist.
Hey! 'Tobacconist' begins and ends with a 't'! Surely it is a sign! Vote Tobacconist, vote T&T!*
*This is an actual vote, lest it is mistaken for merely a bit of campaign sloganeering.

Well, this particular brand is not sold in the Czech Republic so I have discovered it only just now.
Also, at first I was surprised to see the way voting is executed in this AAR (before I had mistakenly lived under illusion that one-man-one-vote is the way to go) and I have seen here several references to a 'Florida-style democracy'. TBH, this particular concept is outside of my range of knowledge so could someone educate me on the topic?
Well, Florida style democracy comes down to the fact that you can vote for semi-realism every day (albeit only once a day). The total number of votes, as opposed to voters, counts.

Considering I was the first to vote for "No uprising", I will vote for it again like a loyal puppy.
General Rodrigues has glasses that just scream "victory!"
Things are going badly for Ecuador as the enemy is at the gates of the capital Quito. Facing the mighty 2nd division led by the teen-aged General Rodrigues, Ecuador's fate lies in the hands of Field Marshall Davila, hastily promoted from Colonel and given a snazzy suit. This may or may not have been a good plan.
The alarming truth on El Pip Elections
Ah, Gen. Marshall, my worthy opponent in this attritional battle over the ballot box. I salute you! I salute you with a vote for the righteous T&T choice!
As we continue to engage in this electoral trench warfare, I must admit to some dread that El Pip is merely trolling us and that, much like in the grim-dark future of the 41st century, there is only war, in the grimy-dark alternate past of this T&T-powered Slovakia, there is only The Vote. I mean, the next update could be weeks away. Before the story reaches the 29th, I might be planning my real-life retirement party...
Still, onwards we must go, for glory, for righteousness, for The Vote!

@Stuyvesant You weren't sure Slovakia had enough problems yet? Had to trasport them to the 41st millenium too and turn them into imperial guard? Though that would probably mean the horde of Soviets coming at poor little Slovakia is even more terrifying. It is like the slow, relentless approach of a horde of Necron, rather than the charge of an Ork Waaagh.
The picture of a neverending electoral battle against Necron is indeed an image of horror, so I shall throw another regiment of imperial guard into the fray in the name of Semi-realism today. For the Emperor!

It's a daily vote? I never thought about it, never realized it. Well then, OPTION III
Dang! I shirked my duty come Wednesday! Oh the shame. Perhaps I should retire to a life of quiet contemplation in a monastery, forsaking the material world? Bah! Of course not! A great* man named Tiso didn't withdraw from the secular world, instead he shouldered his burden and successfully led to Slovakia to, er... Well, he successfully led... Okay, fine, he led Slovakia. Anyway, recognizing his greatness existence, I feel the only right way to honor him is to vote, and continue to vote, for the T&T option.
*For a very specific definition of 'great'. One that's really wrong.

Semi-realism. Much like semi-automatic weaponry, semi-submersible navies and semi-professionalism it would be so unfitting for this timeline's Slovakia that there's not a chance it won't be funny.

Another day, another Gen. Marshall vote for semi-realism, rapidly countered by a T&T vote by yours truly. Ballot stuffing and electoral trench warfare at its finest.
By the way, I'm not sure that conveyance is semi-submersible. The submersion part seems to be working perfectly fine. It's the opposite action (anti-submersion? Supermersion?) that I fear won't happen, leading to a state of permanent submersion - quite far apart from semi-submersion and eloquently invalidating your argument for semi-realism votes.
