Nazbeth wrote:THE NAZBETHIAN ELECTION ISN'T FAR AWAY!

The primaries begin in one [game] month. While it still may seem early to some, excitement is reaching boiling point here in Nazbeth, like the calm before the storm.

Has anyone announced their candidacy yet?

Yes, quite a few people! The LUN (Liberal's Union of Nazbeth) continues to back their greatest President in history, Perseus Greene, but that doesn't mean that people won't run against him in the primaries. The LUN retained their stranglehold on the House and Senate during the midterms, which means that the two other main parties won't have much chance, so extra attention will be paid to them. As of now, nobody has openly stepped forward to challenge Greene.

But what about the other parties?

The CPP (Conservative Political Party) and the SPN (Socialist Party of Nazbeth) are still reeling after their loss of the Presidency to Perseus Greene five years ago and now their catastrophic defeat in the midterms. No candidates have stepped forward yet, although there are rumors that Samuel Parin, the former governor of Cerant who lost to Perseus in 2053, will run again (although these are unconfirmed).

What happened during the midterms?

The Conservatives and Socialists both suffered heavy losses during the midterms. Before the election, the 15 gubernatorial mansions were split 6 Liberal, 6 Socialist and 3 Conservative, but now 8 of the 15 gubernatorial mansions lie in Liberal hands, with the Socialist state of Thanta and the Conservative state of Alegeda falling to the Liberals. Socialists now control 5 states: Kensay, Ostor, Desten, Endre and Evedin, while Conservatives only control 2: Garith and Firmin. Socialists also suffered a scare when the Liberal governor candidate Sharon Anka lost very narrowly to the Socialist incumbent Ellis Hanson of the Socialist headquarters-state Kensay. Imagine if the Socialists had lost their capital! They would be in even worse shape then now.

As for the House, the 205 members used to be split 83 Liberal, 68 Socialist and 54 Conservative, but the Socialists lost the large state of Asthentia and its 16 members while the Conservatives lost the state of Firmin and its 10 members. The "Libs" now control the voting majority of the House. They have 109 members while the Socialists have 52 and the Conservatives have 44.

The Senate and its 30 members (2 per state) stayed mostly the same. Before the election, the Liberals controlled 14 seats, the Socialists controlled 10 and the Conservatives controlled 6, but the Socialists lost one state (Evedin) to the Conservatives and the Conservatives lost one state (Firmin) to the Liberals. The seats now stand at 16 Liberal, 8 Socialist and 8 Conservative. This term will be interesting: will the Socialists and the Conservatives team up to attempt and stop the Liberal's agenda, or will the conflict between the two parties allow the Liberals to steamroller them? It remains to be seen.

When does the election start?

The primaries start in one month and end two months after that. The LUN announces their candidates on December 17th, the SPN on the 18th and the CSS on the 19th. Then the general election, which lasts for six months, begins.

Agenda:

The drug epidemic has been successfully stifled in Nazbeth, through a combination of therapy and legalization of cannabis and marijuana (not in public), while heroin, cocaine, crack and ketamine have been outlawed. In other news, the environmental budget has taken a large boost, with Greene determined to end fracking worldwide and to stop production of oil-based plastics in Nazbeth.

Election:

Perseus Greene recently announced that he will be running for his second and last term as President. As for his cabinet, it is assumed that he will pick longtime political ally and current Vice President Torren Winter for VP again, but there have been rumors that he will spurn Winter for his highly regarded 25-year-old protégée Hallie Wilson.

Personal Life:

Perseus has been rekindling his relationship with his slightly-estranged five-year-old son Maven, to the delight of tabloid magazines and his fangirls. However, although he has confirmed that he is on speaking terms with Amanda Thompson (who is now a lawyer--read all about it here), they are "never getting back together." He also went on a camping trip with old friend Tarius Rostenstaphen, during which he had to rescue him from a lake, the President confirmed.

The election is gonna happen!!

Well at least he won’t spurn Torren for Hallie now.

That would be... strange

A poem (It doesn’t rhyme)

As Holyfield bathes in the holy water in the Holyfield by the holy flight machine,

Perseus Greene sits on in his office awaiting the election to come. He can’t stand to say that he is not on the DA

Sary Hicks sat in her throne, looking at all the brainwashed people. As she sits she licks her lips ready to make alliances with dictatorships that let their people starve.

Jonatin sits by the fire letting the world go up in smoke. Counts his cash as he looks upon his capitalist empire

Jace Kalatu sits at his desk, signing bills of war. He sits there hand in his hair, and wonders how the world got so wrong

The leader of sovac medasic fear the day the he/her doesn’t appease their TLU overlords and is left to their own devices.

Other leader do other things

Rahul Raghuraman and Nazbeth

It’s very poetic
