The H.P.F. on the discovery of the "Yuht"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"My fellow Patrians."
*Jameston sits in front of a large window, overlooking the Patrian Republic's capital. Buildings stand like huge daggers in the sky.*
"As many of you know, we have discovered alien life. "
"Beasts on one planet, capable of great damage, and a potentially powerful ancient civilization, gone to time."
With this, I ask you to consider what motivates you.
Is it your family?
Your job?
Potentially you live for wealth?
Is it possible you thrive in your work for the betterment of humanity?
Now, more than ever, the H.P.F. requires your aid.
If these gigantic creatures, known as the Yuht, are any indication of the Xenos in the galaxy, we must be stronger, smarter, and more careful in everything we do.
With this, I ask you to support the H.P.F. I promise you that we will work harder, that we will work smarter, and that we will work to the best of our abilities for you.
Each of you holds a precious life, like that of my wife and sons.
Each of you has something to care for - a mother, a father, a wife, a husband, children, your pets, or even plants.
*He'd give a smile, genuine in nature, at the word "plants".*
I ask of you to vote for us.
If we come into contact with aliens that want us destroyed, we will fight for you everyday.
We will fight for our fleet, we will fight for our men on the ground, and we will fight for every citizen of our great Republic.
I ask you to care for your fellow man, to defend them if we come into a scenario of crisis.
I ask you to participate in discussions with your politicians, to make sure this Republic stays on course with what you want.
I ask you to love our world, in all of its beauty.
I ask you, to stand with us.

S.P.C. Focuses On Their Accomplishment In The Parliament of 2200
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Posted on the SPC Patriatube channel, the video starts with the SPC’s flag, fading to an image of Delgado in casual attire, sitting at his desk*
Hello fellow compatriots ! I am here today because I wished to talk with you. We have done a great deal in parliament these last few years, and I think it is time to tell you all about our accomplishments. I would like to talk first about our first bill, the Expansion and Colonization Act. Thanks to this proposition, we have been able to expand our Republic’s borders further than anticipated by our experts. We’ve also ensured that, once exoplanets such as Tyl 1 are colonized, they wouldn’t be neglected by our government. This was important for us, as we didn’t want to send people to an alien world for them to be forgotten, left to their devices. We’ve also managed something that I am immensely proud of : the Genetic Research Investment and Global Healthcare Increase Bill, or GRIGHI for short. Behind this, let’s recognize it, quite boring name, hides something that benefits all of us : genetic therapies are now being handled by our Global Healthcare, making healthcare entirely free for everyone, wherever they are, whoever they are. We’ve also ensured that genetic research would be properly funded so our medical science stays at the bleeding edge. Soon, illness will be a word of the past.
Another thing that makes me proud of being part of the SPC is the Right to Education and Scientific Investment Bill. Thanks to this, all education is free for everyone, students aren’t subject to financial insecurity anymore, and our science departments are properly funded. It is my belief that this will allow everyone to live the life they wish. My only regret is that we had to compromise and push its activation date to 2220. That is far into the future, I agree, but I do not see what else I could have done otherwise. I would nevertheless like to thank the UPF, who helped us create and submit this bill, and Dr.Jameston, who submitted the idea of a transitionary welfare system, to ease transition between our current system, and the next. We helped our colleagues in the USCS to submit the Mandatory Debate Period Bill, something which greatly stabilised parliamentary debate on new bills, and allows for a better democratic process. And finally, the proposition for First Contact. I know some of you find this useless, as we haven’t met any alien species yet. But it is my belief that it is better to be prepared, than to be caught off guard. Thanks to this, if the time comes, we will already have a method to follow in order to contact this new civilizations. We had the chance with independent senator Cody Alder on this proposition, a competent man whose cooperation has greatly improved the bill from its first drafts.
I know some of you worry that I might have my head in the stars too much. Maybe it is true. I have dreamt of the stars for a very long time, and to see this dream realize itself before me, I cannot help but to be excited. But this is why I have surrounded myself with great people, such Senator Ana Pierce, who drafted and submitted Bill 12-9, something that you may know as the Ataxia Development Project. This bill will help revitalize the Ataxian region, and create thousands of jobs for these people. I am incredibly proud to have the opportunity to work with people as competent and caring as she is. I know this video has been quite long. I apologize for it, but it felt important to me to tell you about what we’ve been doing. Sometimes we’re so busy with our work that we forget that we’re doing is not always as obvious to you as it is to us. Thank you for taking the time to listen to me. I hope I’ve shown you, the people, that we’ve worked hard on your behalf these last years, and I hope we’ll be able to do so again in the future.

The U.P.F. Doubles Down On Economic Growth
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Zane Griffin stands behind a massive Patrian Republic Flag and begins to speak*
People of Patria,
as you all know elections are closing in fast and before you know it you will be voting for the future of the Republic in fact you will be voting for the future of Mankind. The U.P.F. has led man into the stars and is responsible for expanding the realm of Man from one to nine star system in the span of five years with countless more Star Systems to be colonized in the years to come.
Under the U.P.F. mankind has experienced the largest economic growth in history!
A large imagine is projected behind him showing mineral production of the Republic from 2150-2210
In a short time span of ten years our mineral production has increased by Four Hundred and Fifty Percent which has allowed countless new infrastructure projects to occur throughout the Republic.
The U.P.F. will continue to bring prosperity and economic growth to the Republic and to the Population however we can only do this if we maintain our position in Parliament so that we can continue to defend the ideals of mankind and ensure prosperity for all!
Thank you all for your time!,
*The U.P.F. Flag appears with its motto Our People, Our Republic, Our Future" Zane walks away from the podium*

U.P.I.P. Enters The Fray
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello great people of the Republic,
I am Jason A. Eden, I come to you today not as a Man seeking to further His and his compatriots ambitions, or to tell you a lie.
I came to tell you facts about the events that have unfolded, to talk about Your needs and what You want this republic to do.
I want to know what your issues are, be they known or personal, I am here for You the people and as long as i live, I will fight to make your lives, and those of your children and their children, much better. After all, What is a Republic without its people?
As you might’ve heard, I was recently involved in an attack on my home, Burning most of my back and parts of my head & neck. Even though it was stated that there is no clear evidence of who had committed the act, Others have been quick to point fingers and I have my own suspicions but I am waiting for all the details to come in.
Some say my views are based on a lust for power kept hidden, And after my incident some wonder if I’m really human or if I’m some Alien. But I wonder one thing, has anyone tried to look past My view of Monarchy or even the word “Imperial” in my parties name? The people within my party and those who I’ve helped know why I ask this. I may have a desire to create a Monarchist “Patrian Empire” but in between the lines of that dream.. I wish for the people to finally be free from Tyranny, Poverty, War, and Greed, I want the people to speak their mind, to Own a firearm, and to Pursue a life of happiness.
But not many people understand that, not many people trust what i say, But Men, women, and children of the Republic.. I don’t want to be some guy sitting on at a desk doing paperwork, I want to participate in helping everyone, That's why I am Hereby announcing the Creation of the Patrian Republic Citizen Aid Ship called The Atlas. It has a storage of enough food to feed 10 thousand people for a month, with its own Hydroponics farm, and Enough sleeping quarters to temporarily house one and a half thousand people. This was not my design, although i have altered the plans to fit with modern technology, This ship was an old family friends and I give him full credit for the Design and Creation of it.
Due to it finally being done i will begin Immediately helping those in need alongside with the 199 other crew members on board.
With all this said, I only await your response to the simple question
What can I do for you?
I hope that one day that all will be happy in all stretches of our ever expanding republic and with that I have run out of time for Talking, for a man dedicated to the people stays true to what he says.
Farewell Men and Women of the Republic.

Ulysses Vult of the U.P.F. Comments on the formation of the N.D.L.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
”So, Mr. Vultt, there’s been quite the stir up in politics as of late hasn’t there!”
the talk show host would ask as she sits across the desk from Ulysses who would simply smile and shake his head
”Of course there was, and probably will be in the future, politics is not something so easily won or tied down.”
The woman gives him a faint smile before asking
”How do you feel about the recent split of your own party?” ”I can assure you, that the United Patrian Front has the best of wishes for this fledgling party, and we have no bad feelings towards them. I can also assure you that the UPF will continue to do its best for the people regardless if our majority holds in the next election cycle.”
”Do you doubt that fact Mr. Vultt?”
She would be quick to point out, trying to throw him off balance.
”Not at all Ms. Yaran, I believe that the people will vote for those who best portray their needs, and I genuinely believe that the United Patrian Front has done nothing but fight for the rights and needs of the people, they’ll vote for us.”
He would continue after a brief pause, cutting off the woman before she can add anything more
”And before you ask, even if we do lose our majority there will be no bitter feelings. What would democracy be if we all just got angry when we lost?” ”Are there any last remarks you’d like to make before the end of the segment Mr. Vultt?”
the woman would ask, giving him another television fake smile Turning towards the camera, Ulysses would smile his near-genuine smile
”The United Patrian Front is your front, Like our motto says 'Our People, Our Republic, and Our Future.'”
and with that the credits would start to roll.

P.P.I. Attempts To Increase Their Position Within Parliament
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The News section on the PPI Website suddenly has a video posted live with Ezekiel standing behind a podium. Behind him are large holographic screens displaying graphs of the republics budget featuring current and predicted images. Classical music begins to play lightly in the background.
Hello, my Petrians it is I Ezekiel Levering and I would like to announce that I will be running for senator again. The elections are nearing, and the party will need all our current and future supporters to help us collect more seats in parliament. We have achieved great things like the collecting of 30 seats in the last election which as a new party was not imaginable at first, but we thank every voter who supported me and my fellow members into office. I have kept my word about helping grow the economy with the voting positively towards bills that increased our mineral production and We have successfully had a bill approved to fix up one of the poorest slums on petria and bring jobs in the energy production in the area that has not been seen in the area before. We predict that by 2210 we should have around 5,000 units of energy credits to be produced in the region to help our economy monthly.
Ezekiel would pause a moment as a holo display graph representing the current energy deficit to a future one trending positive for when the energy plant is made.
“as yall can see this will bring our economy on energy out of the troubling deficit it has entered. Now however this one factory is not enough for it is only a temporary fix due to us expanding. We thankfully have more time before we have to worry for a massive energy reform due to the works of the expansion act creating the energy station near the newly discovered star Fuye and the party known as the USCS giving us the grand National Generator requesting bill that will build a new power plant to give more people on our republic the major energy credits needed to continue expansion and the construction of projects to help benefit our nation. “
the graph from before with the 5,000 energy credits being produced suddenly turns to 14,000 energy credits with the other soon to be built energy sources being represented to show our future budget.
There is also the subject of the manifest destiny for science act we tried to propose was sadly voted against, after a heated debate due to the energy controversy that our republic was placed in before the act could be voted on. We specified in the bill that the clearing of land would not have to be established till 2220 so that if something like the deficit happened we have time to repair the mends of our economy. Sadly, due to the bill being rejected, the New national colleges established for studies in society and engineering for future populations will not open for future generations to use when our population gets so large that our current colleges will overcrowd with students and a hamper on our technological advancement especially when the national physics laboratory in the bill was rejected. We the PPI promise we will get this bill approved into the future so that young hardworking petrians will have access to proper education and obtain high fulfilling jobs, while at the same time we will propose bills to improve our economy always. Now my petrians yall are the fire for a torch that will make our nation into marvelous place and we the PPI ask for your support and we thank you and all listeners to this speech for listing.
the screen then flashes bright lights behind Ezekiel as fireworks launch into the sky forming the flag of the republic and the individual party in the republics name in the sky, but the PPI’s was purposely made the largest and the brightest in the video. The video than fades to black with the republics anthem suddenly taking the classical music’s place in the video before it zooms away from Ezekiel and more to the sky for the continuation of a firework display that eventually ends.

The U.S.C.S. Focuses On Their Accomplishments
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dr. Gra’s Report on the Progress of the USCS
Over these last years, the USCS has made great strides for science. It may appear like we accomplished little, as we passed 3/14 of the major bills passed in the last 10 years. However, we only control 10.8% of the seats, meaning that we passed 2 times the amount of bills by average seat.
Some of these bills were extremely important too, such as the
Act Regarding the Regulations of the Observations of any Primitive Sapient Alien Species, setting a precedent for establishing the rights of those sapient species. However, as usual, the USCS represents more in parliament than a simple group of bill passers. We advocate for analysis and discussion, and while we talk a bit less in parliament than previous terms due to the fact that I have been off surveying the galaxy, we still make many behind the door agreements. We helped create a plan with the SPC for the Ataxian Mines followed by the new national laboratory.
We discussed economic plans with Chancellor Griffin establishing new national laboratories, which he convinced us was not entirely economically viable at the moment. A plan is in the making however, to establish laboratories, but in a more economically viable and researched method.
We also issued a bill establishing a period of discussion. This is necessary now and in the future due to the increase of space between systems in the galaxy. There is nothing more important than analysis on the effects of an issue, and establishing this
Mandatory Debate Period allows for any and all issues represented to be discussed before it is put to a vote, where voters vote without seeing the sides of the issues other members of parliament argue for
. We have made taken strides in improving our society as a whole, and setting up regulations for the future. We have discussed, analyzed, and argued for a plethora of different things. We will continue to do so as long as the USCS has any place in parliament, no matter how small.

S.E.R.T.A. Enters The Fray
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dr. Turing, on Matria, taps away at her computer late into the lunar night. She takes a long swig, emptying out her coffee cop, and finally hitting enter on her third draft of her election advertisement:
"Citizens of Patria, we have been through quite a lot this year. From a few party splits to terrorism to even the death of a parliament member, to say our first interstellar government has been a bit of a frazzled mess is a bit of an understatement. Nevertheless, these are just the growing pains of what is sure to be, and travel with me to the future for a moment here, a multi-galactic empire. Nigh immortal beings of many races, of enhanced genetics, and advanced cybernetics.
A mixture of thousands of cultures and religions and ideologies. This Patria is in the palm of our hands, a Patria where all are free to persue their desires, to love each other, to enjoy the very feeling of being alive; even those of us born with dreadful mental conditions that debilitate our lives. And right now what are we? Children. Children with stars in our eyes, grasping ever higher to that future that I can see so clearly tonight. Even alone, I can feel all of those people around me right now, and all there is to learn.
Excuse the tangent but this is what we need to hope for, to strive for. Humanity cannot exist without freedom, it goes against our very nature. We cannot live under the thumb of an oppressive government who undermines our will. We cannot continue to vote with party lines that we don't agree with. We cannot ignore what the public needs, and what do we need?
Reform.
Welfare.
Infrastructure.
Trust in the government.
Power to the people.
That is what SERTA stands for, above all else."

Ulysses Vult of the U.P.F. Focuses On The U.P.F.'s accomplishments
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ulysses would slowly stride out onto the podium, dressed in a clean but simple black suit and tie, and certainly nothing too expensive or showy. He did not come here to look like a show horse. Sliding some papers down onto the podium he would look up at the various cameras around the room, all focusing on him, showing his picture, portraying his voice, and sharing his information globally.
“Soon, it will be time for elections-”
He would begin, glancing down at his paper to make sure he has his speech well memorized before looking up at the camera again and grinning confidently
“And soon, billions of you will vote to determine the fate of the Republic for the next few years, and then you will vote again, and again, and again. A privilege we had to fight for, a privilege that required us shedding our chains and declaring our desire for freedom and liberty for all! This is no tedious task… I can already tell that some of you are ready to turn the channel, knowing that I am here to tell you to vote for some party that has nothing to do with you. But let me tell you…
The United Patrian Front has everything to do with you.” He would widen his stance a little as he continues to speak, his voice loud and confident.
“We were put into power by you, and we have done everything we can to do our duty to you. It is with our help that your right to free, expansive, and obtainable education has been brought to the masses, to every man, woman, and child across every continent, island, and corner of our globe. It is by our hand that your new officials were put into office, because we knew that they would best represent you, your families, and your beliefs. It is by our will that we have brought about construction ships to expand the republic, and science ships to expand our collective minds. It is through us that installations have been installed across our territory to bring about a steady stream of energy and mineral acquisition so that none should lack on Patria!”
He would take a second to calm down before lifting his chin proudly
“Yet that is where we were, let me tell you where we will go. Some of you have heard of a new world, a new frontier filled with hope and promise. The United Patrian Front intends to put every effort into opening this frontier up to the brave and adventurous. We intend to take that first step to cement the Patrian people as a multi-system species. Not only that, but we intend to secure the systems we do have to prevent any sort of piracy or rebellious actions that may take from the common folk. The Republic is strong through the UPF, and we intend to keep it that way."
He would take a few seconds to let that sink in, before addressing a different camera
“But it is not we who have the power to do these things, it is you. You were the ones who gave us the ability to make Patria the greatest it has ever been. Lend us your strength, your vote, and we will not become some stagnant party that has nothing to do with you, but one who will fight to preserve your future, your autonomy, and your might as an individual, and as a people. So please, for the sake of Patria, vote for the United Patrian Front.
For this is Our People, Our Republic, but Your Future.”
And with that, he would give a slight bow, and head out of screen as a large advertisement appears behind him showing the U.P.F.'s major accomplishments
