Analysis of Election Results:

No matter what politicians say, money drives politics. That was put on display tonight with the complete victory of the Popular Front. Most pundits before the election came to the conclusion that if either the CSA or Popular Front was able to gain the support of the dissatisfied portions electorate, they would take victory. The surprise amount of funding that the Popular Front had enabled it to put its message on everywhere. Between the popularity of Smolinski, and the sheer amount of Popular Front campaigning, most undecideds, or those who did not know what to vote, just cast their ballots for the Front. It is likely that based on the results of the CSA, they would have done much better if the Front did not simply have the name recognition it had. At the end of the day, the Front had the resources to pull off a miracle, and they did. Now it is to see what this new government will do.

Lamian Parliamentary Election Results, 3754​

There would be few surprises in the parliamentary election that took place in 3754. In fact, early voting figures and several polls were nearly on the mark when it came to the results, within the 3% margin of error. The big winner of the evening was of course the Nationalist Party. Despite losing 96 seats they still managed to capture almost 2/3rds of the vote. Pundits point to the Nationalist’s loss was the gain of every other party, the Centrist Coalition and Liberty Party in particular. The Democratic Reform League/DRP also increased their vote share by 2% increasing their presence in parliament to a total of 133 seats, up from 114. There were few reports of any domestic disturbances though out the three systems although the Syndicalist and Republican parties filed formal complaints of voter intimidation and voting irregularities. While the government had vowed to take up these concerns, rumor has it would be weeks if not months before a formal investigation would come to a conclusion. As in previous elections the Nationalist Party reaffirmed its coalition with both the Justice and Peace Party in addition to the Neo Megali Idea Party bringing their total to 635 seats while resuming their cordial relations with the Prosperity Party. His Majesty the King Niketas Venizelos gave a brief victory speech an hour after the final results were announced.


“My people! We have brought you peace and prosperity, we have brought you order and stability. Allow me to bring you glory and prestige! Our economy remains robust and strong, our military among the most formidable our galaxy has to offer. Even now we enter the New World will the intention of spreading our greatness across the stars. But make no mistake, the road will not be easy nor simple. Many dangers lurk around every corner both at home and in space. The Nationalist Party has promised to continue to serve the public trust and move forward to a brighter tomorrow. Long live our institutions, long live our military, Long Live Lamia!”


Despite the King’s triumphant victory in which the Nationalist Party has been reaffirmed as the ruling government with the public’s blessing, events away from Thessalia have thrown a wrench into the state of affairs. The unexpected defeat of the Military Council and the sudden death of Marshall Hedreath has left the Foreign Ministry and government itself in a state of absolute confusion. Despite the nominal support of running supplies to the M.C. the King had expressed much private sympathy for the late Hedreath leading many to believe that the Lamian government had suffered an indirect strategic defeat in the region. Experts have been debating whether increased involvement in the war be it covertly or otherwise would have led to a different outcome or just bodies being sent home in vain. Only one thing is certain: the Zelsar Union is on track for serious instability in the wake of a devastating civil war with an uncertain future that lies ahead.

Lamia at a glance: Victor and Maximilian Venizelos​

Curiosity, intrigue and in some cases even dread surrounds the heirs of King Niketas Venizelos. Generally shielded from the public realm bits and pieces of information have been revealed over the years painting an image of what might be in store for the Lamian Kingdom in the eventual death of His Majesty the King.

Victor Venizelos as the eldest stands to be the next to take the reins of government. Classified as an extrovert he somewhat resembles the father in terms of leadership. With the belief of ruling with an iron fist he, however, is not stubborn like his father and has shown surprising amounts of pragmatism when no other choice is present. Charismatic and described by many as a potentially better leader than his father ever could be, he toured a brief stint in the military, serving for two years at the age of 23. During that time he did not see any real combat. While an average student in school he used his father’s influence to advance and some say receive high marks. Luckily he improved academically by the time he stepped into higher education. Victor had a profound interest in the other species of the galaxy being one of the few in Lamia to not have a negative opinion about any of the races, Skaven included. After attending Ajax’s leading university he received a master’s degree in both Philosophy and Inter-Galactic Politics. Unable to indulge in any stable relationship Victor has no significant other, not officially with rumors of addictions to drugs, alcohol and being a masochist. In reality when it comes to drugs he kicked the habit but only after two violent withdrawals. His drinking is sorely a work in progress. He also traveled extensively abroad with a few embarrassing scandals over the years from drunken brawls to nudist forays in public. Despite his lack of popularity owing to his life-style and being a relative unknown, the eldest son relishes the idea to lead the nation. While any sense of a sibling rivalry remains speculation, Victor does indeed have decent relations with his brother due to their correspondence over the years and the occasional public appearances during the affairs of the state. However, the same cannot be said with his father. Highly affected by the divorce of his parents which occurred when he was at the age of 12, Victor has a large degree of malcontent towards his father. Currently he resides in the lush world of Ajax overseeing a regional ministry specializing in infrastructure and administration. As a testament to his volatile relationship, he has not been in Thessalia in more than 8 years. And then there’s the spare heir.

Victor Venizelos​

Maximilian Venizelos is considered an introvert. Unlike his older brother whom enjoyed his stints of partying and socializing among the rich and powerful, Maximilian although highly intelligent is socially awkward. Cutting away from his brother and father, he has a deep hatred for politics while having a rather strong disdain for the lower classes. It is even rumored that he is a sadist with several unconfirmed reports of a rap sheet on file with various law enforcement agencies in Thessalia. Despite these glaring short comings he has a deep love for science: Astronomy, Geoscience, Sociology and Psychology especially. Although he never attended university aptitude tests show he would be able to enroll in even the most prestigious and demanding of schools. Usually an eloquent speaker, when asked about potentially ruling Maximilian, or Maxxy as some in the family call him, absolutely disgusts it. There is speculation that his hatred for such a prospect is so great that he would go so far as to abdicate to avoid the responsibility. Given the chance he would rather be a lead researcher in his own scientific organization dedicated to several fields, some orthodox others less so. Owing to having a decent relationship with Victor, he respects his brother though only due to their shared intelligence. While his father rules he spends his days being a book worm with the curious visitations to the ruins of the city of Corinth, no one knows why he goes there but he uses his father’s credentials to get past the military cordons around the devastated city, spending hours observing the gutted buildings and even walking inside them.

[Private]Internal Oligarchy Memo[Private]​

The situation in Albion has gotten out of hand. The adoption of Berninian tactics for the Albionian Landing Castle threatens any hope of final victory for Australias. Further more, if victory was achieved against it, it would create precedent for counters against our own Landing Castles. 500 billion credits have already been spent supporting the duke, to no effect. The collapse of the Albionian economy is the only sign for a favorable outcome in the conflict. If a peace can not be found shortly, the region will be written off as a lost cause for the next decade.

Election results in Azeratii are exemplary. Providing campaign funding was a major factor in the domination of the Popular Front. Consolidation of our sphere of influence there is the paramount concern for the future. Azeratii represents one of two other polities that can viably produce Heavy Battleships, and has the largest fleet in the galaxy. Expansion of Meritocracy there will be pursued by the local party. Deals will be struck with the nepotists and republicans as necessary to keep it connected with us.

Production of the Endbringer class of Heavy Battleships continues as planned. The Endbringer mk. 2 is functioning normally as Admiral Relacy's flagship, and the Leviathan is ready for combat operations. The Behemoth will be completed by the end of the year, with another 4 scheduled for production. So far the class is serving well as a symbol of the technological prowess of the Oligarchy, and first combat results are expected by the end of the year. Overall military planning and tactics will be adjusted to fully incorporate the utility of these ships.

The colonial situation is troubling. Raids by large enemy forces on Basarara represents a threat to our colonial interests, and possibly could stymie further expansion in the Tylorisian Galaxy. A show of force must be made to enforce our control of the region. Further the non-hostile alien fleet at Carpannova is intriguing. Reports from the administration on the colony provide an idea of the potential of the aliens, but at this time, no course of action has been decided upon for dealing with them. Local authorities have permission to deal with the aliens as they see fit for now.

[Plank of Wood]

((Luckily you've caught me just after my last exam and I have spare time, Scrap.

If you answer questions about your own polity, you lose.))

Spoiler

I.

a) Hahm Jeemin is the Foreign Minister of the Baekdu Republic and member of the Liberal Party. Her negotiations and aggressive foreign policy is regarded as one of the key factors in Baekdu's successful interactions with the Galaxy at large, and the establishment of the Republican League.
b) Carolus Magnus is the Absolute King of Francia. He lead the Kingdom through the Springtime of Nations, with his reactionary and authoritarian policies successfully quelling most liberal opposition from his rule. As a result, Francia is the only absolute monarch to survive the surge of liberalism and republicanism without any progressive reform or regime change.
c) Park Minjung was a Baekdu Republican general during the Revolutionary period, who used anxieties of both an aristocratic resurgence and a potential republican purge to launch a coup against the Revolutionary Assembly to install herself as Emperor. Her coup was defeated and as a result she now lives in permanent exile, however sympathies for Imperialism remain in some branches of the Far Right, especially within the Statist Faction.
d) Lucjab is the First President of the Uskugan League. After his victory in the Mechon War, he made the unprecedented move of allowing democratic reform, despite there being no threat of republican revolt in the polity, and is therefore one of the leading symbols of peaceful transition to democracy in the galaxy.
e) Janus Vapaamires was a revolutionary figure in the Tasavalta and still maintains significant sway within the polity, despite Tasavalta's lack of state. His demagogic populist ideology became the foundation for the Anarchist Tasavaltan polity, and is highly influential in Anarchist movements across the galaxy.

II

(only answering one of these)

Citizenchips are the fundamental basis for the Tasavaltan direct democracy, and is the basic requirement for Tasavaltan citizenship. They allow direct democracy to function without any abstention and enable full engagement with the political system across all of Tasavaltan society. It not only makes the average Tasavaltan citizen able to interact with both the legislative, executive and judicial branches of government at any time, but makes it mandatory to do so, thereby eliminating non-participation completely and granting full legitimacy to all law passed. It eliminates the need for party politics, as the electorate votes on laws directly and thus the corruption associated with political descision making is removed.

It is also the source of a major debate within the anarchist political community, as it enforces voting and interaction with democracy as a civic duty, which failure to partake in is punishable. Many anarchists, such as Roisin Amagh, argue that to vote is a civic right, rather than an obligation, and to force a citizen to vote is equivalent to other enforced state actions such as military draft, or even a victimization of a citizen for their private political views. Tasavaltan anarchists, on the other hand, consider it fundamentally necessary for every single citizen to agree in majority in order for any state action to be legitimate.

III

2)

[...] To conclude, while openly maintaining liberal views of anti-genocide and the containment of rogue regimes, the Solesian War of Containment is fundamentally a war waged for the sake of establishing a political sphere of influence within the Middle Eastern Galaxy. The late PGC and RL entry to the war does not demonstrate a willingness to co-operate with non-liberal regimes, but a desire for political one-up-manship and a wish to prevent Francia and Adrallia from carving out puppet regimes in Solesia and the PRT. It is only justified in the respect that the Allied powers wish to prevent a single ideology from establishing a foothold in the region, and therefore is less of a unified conflict, but a proxy war between the Allied powers.

((If you don't do it you're a lameo.

Here's some different questions in case Scrap's suck:

4) "The Pan-Galactic Community Court ruling for FSA v. Skaven has allowed the PGC to interfere with or reject individual treaties as they see fit." Do you agree with this statement? Justify your answer.

5) "Oligarchal Meritocracy is simply a form of Fascism." To what extent is this statement correct, or incorrect? Justify your answer.

6) Is naval power more important than ground troops in modern warfare? Give specific examples to justify your answer. ))
