Recent history of Adoria

== Pre-First Election ==
Before the First election of what was then called Followerspar, the sim was based entirely out of Instagram. ABB, the founder of the sim, realised that this system was unworkable, and joined together with Bacon to create the Discord server.
Around this time, the news started to be broadcast, led by lead reporter KingSepron, alongside Calamity and Soopreme.
The first parties to exist were the Communist Party, the Greens, the Social Democratic Party, the Democracy Party, the Liberal Party, the Monarchist Party, the Libertarians, the Christian Union, the Conservative Party, and the Fascist Party.
The Communists quickly became a classical Marxist-Leninist party, emphasising international relations and economic policy over social. The greens became a diverse coalition of left wingers, with Octo17 being elected as their first leader. The SDP elected ABB, largely thanks to his role in running the sim. The Liberal and Democracy parties merged to form the Liberal Democrats, electing a centre-right leader. The Christian Union elected Carl as their leader, a moderate Christian Democrat. The Conservatives suffered a terrible split into the Liberal Conservatives and the National Conservatives, disagreeing over whether or not to cooperate with the Fascist party or not, with the NatCons supporting a loose political coalition. The NatCons quickly adopted fascist imagery. The Fascist Party elected Germania as their leader, popular among the moderate and the classical fascist wings, but unpopular with the National Socialist wing.
Multiple nationalists also formed the Balkan Party, a centre-left nationalist party with satirical elements. The party leader was Sofija, who joined the party into the far-right alliance.
== First Election ==
The election had to be re-run two times. In the first election rampant fraud was uncovered on multiple fronts, but mainly among the Fascists, in the second the Communist Party were caught cheating, in a scandal that severely damaged relations between them and the other parties.
In the final election, the Libertarians emerged as the largest party, and ultimately formed a coalition with the two Conservative parties, the Liberal Democrats, the Christian Union, the Balkans, and the Monarchists.
Following the first election, Spore became Prime Minister. Spore was a libertarian more socially than economically, and disliked having the National Conservatives and Balkans in the coalition. Spore resigned shortly after becoming Prime Minister of issues to do with activity, but still maintains a good legacy, having layed the groundwork for the constitution and Supreme Court.
Shortly after this, Adoria was hit by its first scandal, when an unknown user (later revealed to be Spore himself, abusing his powers as admin) leaked a series of Fascist Party plans to overthrow the government to the main news station. The admins at the time had a policy against leaks, and attempted to pressure KingSepron into revealing the source, but he refused, resulting in him being given in a warning. Despite consistent pressure by the far-right, the source wouldn't be revealed until nearly a year later.
After Spore resigned, BlueBlaze became the Prime Minister, who was more traditionally libertarian than Spore. BlueBlaze wrote the constitution, although the first draft was voted down for containing language that could constitutionally enshrine the death penalty. Despite some left wing objections over the gun rights clause, the constitution passed into law, creating the Supreme Court and protecting individual rights.
In the middle of the First Term, the furthest left members of the Liberal Democrats left to create Third Way, mostly in protest over the right-wing slant of the leadership. As a result, the Liberal Democrats ousted their leader, instead installing the socially libertarian Alejandro.
Towards the end of the first term, the small Monarchist Party entered an internal crisis over whether it should remain in government, with the larger left-wing faction prevailing and forcing the party out. The result however was the party abruptly collapsing, as the right-wing faction bolted to join other parties, most notably the Balkans and National Conservatives. 
== Second Election ==
The Balkan Party, Libertarians, and the Liberal Democrats all received a similar level of the vote, coming in essentially joint first. BlueBlaze was returned to the Prime Minister position, joining in coalition with the two Conservative parties, the Balkans, and receiving outside backing from the Fascist Party. The Liberal Conservative Party had changed its name to the Conservative Party before the election, and as such saw greater success, mostly at the National Conservatives expense. The Libertarians also suffered electorally, although not significantly.
Shortly before this election, two short lived parties were founded. Moderate Libertarians joined together to create the National Liberty Party, which went defunct after a catastrophic electoral result, and the National Socialist Democrat Party, or NSDAP, created by dissatisfied Nazis within the Fascist Party. The party failed to get into parliament, and went defunct after their leader was jailed for poll manipulation. The Christian Union, suffering with inactivity, and the small Third Way also failed to cross the threshold. 
This term saw more of the same as the last one, with ministerial powers being clearly outlined in the Ministerial Responsibilities Act (MRA), and the Supreme Court dealing with its first case, although its powers were very poorly outlined. Other issues include a scandal in which Germania doctored an image to make the Liberal democrats look bad, but was immediately caught, and the creation of multiple, openly biased, news stations.
BlueBlaze is often seen as one of the best Prime Ministers in Adorian history.
Just days before the third election, Bacon was convicted of election rigging, and sentenced to being stripped of his powers on the admin council and exiled. He was invited back into the server shortly afterwards, and was given permissions by Uncle Kev. Bacon proceeded to delete large amounts of the server, nowadays referred to as 'the nuke'. Communazi (now known as 'Kailick') put the server back together after this, and Bacon was banned. This resulted in the Bacon Party being founded from those defending him.
== Third Election ==
The Liberal Democrats beat the Fascist Party to narrowly top the results. The Greens came third in their strongest result yet. The Balkan Party, National Conservatives and Libertarians suffered with inactivity and members leaving for the Bacon Party, which its self received a disappointing sixth place. Third Way managed to make it into parliament, and the electoral threshold being lowered meant the Christian Union narrowly crept in. 
Only one party didn't make it into parliament, the science-focused socially liberal Science Party, which had split out of the Greens before the election. The Communist Party was disqualified from the election after incredibly rampant election rigging was uncovered. Fallout from this scandal, and multiple high profile arrests led the party to dissolve midway through the term. Also slightly before the election, Daniojoi was elected leader of the Christian Union, bringing it significantly to the right. Ultimately the Liberal Democrats, Greens, SDP and Third Way formed a government together, with Arjona becoming the Prime Minister. 
During this time, laws implemented by the BlueBlaze administration meant the first presidential election took place, leading to the popular leftist Ninetails being elected.
The most high profile event of this term was when KingSepron was put on trial in front of the courts for bribery. The case ended up being highly politicised, and led to major reforms of the court system. Sepron was exonerated at the time, but months later admitted that he "should've been found guilty". Other issues were abortion and progressive vs flat tax laws.
The reforms implemented in this time, which successfully set up a Supreme Court, and a prosperous Adoria are cited for reasons as to why Arjona is a good Prime Minister by scholars, and this term of his administration is largely regarded as good.
