List of prime ministers of the Empire of Shingō

The Prime Minister of the Empire of Shingō was the leader of the Imperial Cabinet and the head of the government. This is a list of the prime ministers of the Empire of Shingō, including Chancellors of the Governing Council, the undemocratic predecessor to Parliament. This list does not include prime ministers after the country's reformation into a republic in 183 G.E.

Throughout this period, the Emperor retained various powers and was still the nominal chief executive of the nation. Despite this however, the Emperor vowed to respect the "democratic will of the people." Consequently, the Emperor always nominated the leader of the largest party in Parliament to be the prime minister of the country.

"Government" refers to the makeup of the cabinet, whose membership is appointed by the prime minister. While some prime ministers do not alter the makeup of their cabinet throughout the entirety of their time in office, it is a common practice for prime ministers to alter their cabinet upon entering into an additional term in office. Cabinet iterations are marked with the name of the prime minister and their number.

*\*Note: Surnames are written first in Shingōan rather than at the end of a name. For example, the name Sōsuke Koide would be written and said as Koide Sōsuke by Shingōans.*

## Chancellors

The Imperial Chancellor was the head of the Governing Council of the Empire of Shingō, the unelected governing body tasked with the day-to-day running of the country. All members of the council were appointed by the Emperor and were typically aristocrats, high priests, military leaders, or members of the Imperial Family. The Chancellor was appointed by the Emperor from among the Council's membership and served at the behest of the Emperor.

The office was first established following the ascension of Emperor Angen to the Imperial Throne, as had only been nine years old at the time of his ascension. It was abolished in 135 following the adoption of several democratic reforms which replaced the Governing Council with the Shingōan Parliament, which was headed by the newly-established position of prime minister.

## Prime Ministers

The Prime Minister was the head of the Imperial Shingōan Government following the adoption of governmental reforms in 135 G.E. The position replaced the previously-existing institution of the Imperial Chancellor, which was appointed by the Emperor exclusively.
4th Shingōan National Election

The **4th Shingōan National Election** took place on 25 October 146 to determine the membership of the Parliament of the Empire of Shingō. All 35 seats of the national legislature were up for election.

### Electoral System

Members of Parliament were appointed by regional lords known as *Hakushaku*, who each respectively ruled over various municipalities across the empire. Lords in major metropolitan regions, such as the capital Chukyo, were permitted to appoint multiple members of Parliament while lords in smaller townships were only permitted to appoint one member. Some lords utilized meetings with regional intellectuals, bureaucrats, and other elites in the process of appointing members; however, the lords themselves exercised ultimate authority regarding appointments.

### Results and Background

Akihiko Fukuda, the incumbent prime minister and leader of the Liberty Party, sought re-election. The incumbent government had presided over a relatively peaceful period for the country socially and economically, and they were expected to hold onto their strong majority in Parliament.

The election resulted in the only case in Shingōan history where there was no change in seat count following a national election. All parties held onto their current seats and made no gains. Akihiko Fukuda was subsequently reappointed as prime minister of Shingō by the newly-enthroned Emperor Meiwa.
Queendom of Ankika

Flag of Angelican Queendom

The **Queendom of Ankika** (Ankikan: *Zonkonadiko Non Kona Ankika*) was a monarchical country that existed from 158 G.E. until its reorganization into the State of Ankika following the end of the Great Tōkai War in 273 G.E.

## History:

The Queendom of Ankika was officially proclaimed in 158 G.E. when members of the Sidavia Clan, after conquering several territories in southern Tōkai, proclaimed the establishment of a royal monarchy with popular warrior and leader of the clan Ina Robonek at its head.

By 207 G.E., the Queendom had annexed much of southern Tōkai and had expanded its international presence greatly. This expansion was aided in part by investments made by the Imperial Republic of Shingō; over ¥40 million would be invested in the Ankikan economy, allowing for increases in the production of crops and raw materials. Shingō would also aid the Queendom during this period by providing training to Ankikan soldiers.

In 269 G.E., the Queendom would put an abrupt end to its informal alliance with Shingō by entering into the *Stahlpakt*, a military alliance with the Kreiland State. In 271, the *Stahlpakt* would go to war with the Tōkai Faction, containing Shingō and Tsukimoto, thus beginning the Great Tōkai War. During the war, the Queendom would expand to its greatest territorial extent, conquering the majority of southern Tōkai.

Following the end of the war and the Queendom's defeat and the hands of Shingō and Tsukimoto, the country was occupied and much of its ruling class was stripped of its power. Local lords and bureaucrats were given power in the new government and the State of Ankika was subsequently formed.
1st Ma Telanese National Election

**Leader** | Poeni pi Nena
 **Total Seats** | 4

The **1st Ma Telanese National Election** took place on 20 March 393 to determine the composition of the Council of Representatives of Ma Telan. The election occurred after a series of democratic reforms were introduced — due largely to external pressure from the Imperial Republic of Shingō during Prime Minister Kobayashi's Global Democracy Initiative. The reforms established a democratically elected legislative body that was vested with the authority to present laws, budgets, and declarations of war to the Chief for approval.

There are 11 total seats in the Council of Representatives, with 10 being filled by elected representatives of the several island communities of the nation, and the final seat being filled by the Speaker, who is non-partisan and appointed by the Chief to oversee the Council. All 10 representative seats were up for election, with candidates being chosen via a ranked-choice voting system, in which voters may rank candidates on a scale of 0 to 5. The candidates with the highest cumulative rankings are then declared elected, filling however many available seats there are in their given region.

The Chiefdom of Ma Telan is officially a non-partisan democracy, meaning that there are no formal political parties. All candidates officially ran as independents, meaning that they were not officially provided support by any political group. Upon being elected, however, most members of the Council chose to caucus with either of the two major political movements. The People's Movement consists of members who favor close relations with Shingō and increased political freedoms, while the United Independence Movement consists of members who favor cutting ties with Shingō and upholding the current systems of hierarchy across the country.

Elected members sorted by constituency
390 Kaungkinmyay Presidential Election

The **390 Kaungkinmyay Presidential Election** took place on 8 January 390 in the Union of Kaungkinmyay. In accordance with the Constitution of Kaungkinmyay, incumbent president Aung Linn was ineligible for re-election, as Kaungkinmyese presidents may only serve a single 6-year term.

Khant Thurein of the People's Progress Party was elected as the next president of Kaungkinmyay, winning a plurality of all votes cast. His primary opponent was Maung Thant of the People's Action Party, who won 38.6% of the total vote. Once-again, Myint Min of the Yaytwe Bloc came in third place, having obtained votes almost entirely from the region of Yaytwe.

The election coincided with the 390 Kaungkinmyay Senate Election, in which the People's Progress Party maintained its plurality but lost 1 seat, meaning that it would still have to rely on other parties in order to pass legislation.
63rd Tsukimotoan National Election

The **63rd Tsukimotoan National Election** was held on 2 March 387 to determine the composition of the Congress of the Republic of Tsukimoto. Voters elected 50 members to the national legislature, 15 from single-member electorates and 35 from closed party lists. Voting was restricted to men above the age of 21 who fulfilled property requirements. Official results from the election were released on the following day.

The period of campaigning that preceded the election saw the unexpected return of An Sung-min, a popular previous president, as leader of the Constitutional Democracy Party. An, who was now 67 years old, rapidly ascended in popularity and won the CDP leadership election in a landslide, promising to return the party to its commitments of "security, stability, and prosperity."

The approval rating of incumbent Solidarity Party President Nam Hyeon-woo sat around 45% just before the election, and some election analysts predicted that he would be elected to a third term in office. While Nam's government had not managed to fulfill his campaign promise to create a public housing program, it had presided over several self-proclaimed successes such as the Dae-Bugjjog Independence Referendum and low levels of unemployment.

Nam's campaign, however, was unable to counteract the rise of An Sung-min, whose personal approval rating was forecasted to be roughly 65% among all Tsukimotoans. In his campaign, Former President An vowed to revitalize the nation's cities by investing in schools and infrastructure, notably stating that he would oversee the construction of a national rail network. An also made what he called "an appeal to unity" by promising to keep the Ministry of Labor that had been created under President Nam.

With one of the closest margins of victory in Tsukimotoan history, the Constitutional Democracy Party won a plurality of 20 seats in Congress, meaning that An Sung-min would be the next President of Tsukimoto. A single seat separated the CDP from the Solidarity Party, who won 19 seats. While the CDP initially attempted to form a ruling coalition with the Free Alliance and the Minority Interest Party, these negotiations broke down after several weeks. After roughly one month of talks, President An Sung-min announced that the CDP would form the nation's first grand coalition with the Solidarity Party.
Renewal Party

The **Renewal Party** (Shingōan: 刷新党, *Sasshintō*) was a political party in the Republic of Shingō that existed from 199 G.E. until its dissolution in 235 G.E.

The ideology and policy goals of the party were centered around the concepts of isolationism and nationalism. The Renewal Party sought to prevent foreigners and foreign ideas from entering the nation, which many in the party leadership labeled as "foreign corruption". These views are seen as a direct response to the arrival of traders and immigrants from Nangoku and Angelica. All efforts towards isolationism, however, were ultimately unsuccessful due to pressure from opposition parties and the general public. Additionally, the party unsuccessfully attempted to nationalize several economic sectors related to raw material production, which they hoped would make the process of expanding the military faster and more efficient.

The Renewal Party was created in 199 G.E. after the inauguration of Prime Minister Daichi Fukai of the Liberty Party. Having lost his bid for leadership over the National Cooperation Party (NCP) in 198 G.E., Hajime Arikawa created a new party which incorporated many of the NCP's economic policies whilst also advocating for the closing of the country from foreign immigrants and trade. The Renewal Party gained control over the Shingōan Parliament during the government of Prime Minister Hajime Arikawa (203-207) and during the governments of Prime Minister Hiroshi Kanamori (223-231).
7th Windsoran Senate Election

The **7th Windsoran Senate Election** was held on 22 February 393 to determine the composition of the Senate of the Kingdom of Windsor. The Senate is the lower house of the Windsoran Congress; the upper house is the House of Nobles who are appointed by the king. All 50 seats were contested and voters elected candidates from single-member districts using a first-past-the-post voting system.

It was the first legislative election to occur after the Winslowan Decrees of 391, in which King Winslow II declared the results of the 4th Presidential Election invalid and abolished the position of president. The decrees and the subsequent imprisonment of President Grayson Carlyle sparked public outrage against the king, leading to widespread protests.

In the leadup to the election, the Commons Party saw a massive surge in support as disgruntled citizens gathered to protest against the king and demanded the reinstatement of the president. There was a significant period of uncertainty both before and during the election regarding whether or not the results would be invalidated by the king, and many feared that the Senate would be abolished entirely.

In the election, the Commons Party won a large majority of 38 seats, a net increase of 13. The Centralist Union and the Monarchist Party saw decreases of 8 seats and 6 seats respectively, while the Revolutionary Bloc picked up 1 seat. It was the largest electoral swing in terms of seat count in Windsoran history. Additionally, it had the highest percentage of voter turnout in the country's history, with nearly 84% participating in the election.

While King Winslow II initially undermined the results of the election by publicly stating that, "the numbers smell of fraud," he eventually accepted the results three days after the election on February 25th. It is believed that the king reached a compromise with members of the Senate in which he would affirm the results of the election in return for being allowed to fill the House of Nobles (the upper house of Congress) with monarchists and members of the royal family.
Cho Cabinet

The **Cho Cabinet** was the 55th Government of the Republic of Tsukimoto during the 64th legislative session of Congress. It was sworn in on 31 March 391, almost one month after the 64th National Election and dismissed less than 8 months later on 3 November 391. It was preceded by the Third An Cabinet and succeeded by the Jeon Cabinet. Led by President Cho Han-Gyeol, it included members of the Solidarity Party and the Frontier Party and was also supported by the Minority Interest Party.
Arrows

**Arrows** or **Arrow-Racing** is a competitive sport in which (typically two) opposing players shoot arrows at a target. Points are scored by hitting specific marked areas of the target, which consist of alternating red and white regions originating from the center. Arrows is both a professional shooting sport and a traditional game. Arrows is commonly played in Tsukimoto and Shingō, the country it originated in.

## Scoring

The standard Arrows target is divided into 6 sections, scoring from 1 to 50 points. Various games can be played utilizing this target; however, in the official game, the method of scoring is as follows:

* Central Red Region - 50 Points
* Central White Region - 15 Points
* Mid Red Region - 20 Points
* Mid White Region - 5 Points
* Outer Red Region - 10 Points
* Outer White Region - 1 Point

In determining which region of the target an arrow has landed in, the center of the arrow must be analyzed and the location of said center will determine the allocation of points.

## Rules & Objective

Prior to starting the game, players will decide who will go first utilizing whatever means they wish. The game will then begin with one player standing on or behind a marked line (typically 12 to 16 meters away from the target) and shooting three arrows at the target. The point total from these arrows will then be calculated and allotted to the player. Players then follow the same process and take turns shooting at the target until a player wins.

The objective of the game is to reach a score of zero without going into the negative range. At the start of the game, all players are given an equal score value that they must decrease until reaching zero. Typically this score is 501, but alternate starting scores such as 301 and 601 may be used for shorter or longer games respectively. Points scored by a player during a round are subtracted from their point total. If the amount of points scored by a player in a round is too large and would result in said player having a negative score, then all points from that round are declared null and void.

## Equipment

### Target

A typical target consists of a 1 meter by 1 meter surface with three white sections and three red sections. The center red area is located in the exact center of the target and has a width and height of 12.50 centimeters. The other two red areas are each 6.25 centimeters wide and are separated by a white section between them that is 12.50 centimeters wide. The remaining white region that separates the outermost red area with the edge of the target is 6.25 centimeters wide.

### Arrows

The game typically utilizes standard, unmodified arrows so that their exact positions on the target after landing are able to be seen more easily. Most tournaments and professional settings of the game will use standard, unmodified arrows and bows when playing; however, less formal settings may allow for the use of alternative equipment.
7th Senate Election of Ankika

The **7th Senate Election of Ankika** was held on 16 November 382 to determine the composition of the Senate of the Independent State of Ankika.

Voters elected candidates to serve as representatives of each of the nation's constituencies. These elections utilized a first-past-the-post voting system, meaning that the candidate who received a plurality of votes within a given constituency would be elected as representatives of that constituency. All 35 seats of the National Senate were up for election and the Nationalist Party was forecasted to increase its share of seats due to the rising popularity of incumbent Nationalist President Robek Zatav.

The election resulted in the Nationalist Party increasing its seat count by 3, providing it with a plurality just short of a majority in the Senate. The Free Democratic Party, the main opposition, lost 2 seats but still came in second place in terms of their overall representation. The Central Unionist Coalition, the third largest party, saw no changes to its seat count.

The schedule of future senate elections were altered to be every 5 years rather than every 3 years in order to coincide with presidential elections. Thus, the time interval between later elections is greater.
Industrial Revolution

The **Industrial Revolution** is the transition to new manufacturing processes across the continents of Tōkai, Ocellis and Erleste, in the period from the late 360s G.E. to the current day. This transition included going from hand production methods to machines, automatic farming, and synthetic iron production. Additionally, the revolution saw the increasing use of steam power, water power, the development of machine tools, and the rise of the mechanized factory system.

While some of the contraptions and processes utilized throughout the revolution were first created or conceptualized roughly 100 years prior to its listed start date, it would not be until the late 360s that these technologies would be employed on a large scale across various nations. Consequently, some have argued that the creation of the steam engine in Arlon in 248 G.E. constitutes the true start of the Industrial Revolution.

### Notable Inventions

#### Shingō:

* Textile weaving machine - 367 (Inventor disputed)
* Automated crop harvester - 389 (Katsuyasu Amano of Tegurichi Foods Inc.)
* Clock tower - 391 (joint effort funded by Parliamentary commission)
* Dockyard crane - 395 (Hidemori Konoe of Sunajima Ironworks Co.)
* Passenger elevator - 395 (Hidemori Konoe of Sunajima Ironworks Co.)

#### Tsukimoto:

* Steam powered train - 370 (Ha Seo-jun of Wakuya Waterworks Co.)
* Steam powered drawbridge - 391 (Ryu Do-hyeon)

### Impact

Both the 391 Tōkai Recession and the 392 Tsukimotoan Depression were partly caused by the industrial revolution, as the sudden growth of automated manufacturing led certain companies to dominate markets and drive their competitors out of business. A significant portion of hand-manufacturing companies failed or were driven out of business during the early 390s, leading to mass unemployment.
Free Alliance

The **Free Alliance**, previously known as the **Libertarian Party**, is a political party in the Republic of Tsukimoto. The party has engaged in coalition governments and alliances with the Constitutional Democracy Party on several occasions. The Free Alliance promotes free-market economics, large reductions in taxation, decreased government spending, and the privatization of rural government lands. A subset of the party's members have vocally campaigned against the use eminent domain, citing it as an overreach of government power.

The party was founded in 296 G.E. and initially saw only limited success in the provincial governments of Gijang and Honbetsu. At the time of its founding, the Libertarian Party acted as a pressure group towards the incumbent Constitutional Democracy Party and attempted to persuade the government to reduce its spending on social programs. The Libertarian Party played a major role in encouraging the Constitutional Democracy Party led government to further protect the civil rights of ethnically non-Tsukimotoan individuals.

After its poor performance in the 62nd Tsukimotoan National Election in 383, the party rebranded itself from the Libertarian Party to the Free Alliance. The party subsequently underwent a large change in leadership and shifted its focus towards strengthening major industries and national corporations. A defining aspect of the modern party is its close relationship with wealthy individuals and owners of large businesses.

Central Unionist Coalition

The **Central Unionist Coalition** is the third-largest political party in the Independent State of Ankika. The party was founded in 357 G.E. as an alternative to the two largest parties in Ankikan politics. Members of the Coalition have advocated for moderation, pragmatism, and open discourse. The party has additionally opposed radicalism and populism in all of its forms in politics. The Central Unionist Coalition has participated in political alliances with both the Free Democratic Party and its opponent, the Nationalist Party, and it has played a key role in moderating the policies of both parties.

In 371 G.E., the leadership of the Central Unionist Coalition voiced support for President Rakiba Nosoki's "Stable-Ship Doctrine," which promoted centrism and discouraged both "anarchist" and "totalitarian" rhetoric. The party has consistently been represented in the Ankikan Senate since its foundation, and most of its supporters and leaders come from urban regions of the country.
5th Shingōan National Election

The **5th Shingōan National Election** took place on 2 November 150 to determine the membership of the Parliament of the Empire of Shingō. All 35 members of the national legislature were up for election.

### Electoral System

Members of Parliament were appointed by regional lords known as *Hakushaku*, who each respectively ruled over various municipalities across the empire. Lords in major metropolitan regions, such as the capital Chukyo, were permitted to appoint multiple members of Parliament while lords in smaller townships were only permitted to appoint one member. Some lords utilized meetings with regional intellectuals, bureaucrats, and other elites in the process of appointing members; however, the lords themselves exercised ultimate authority regarding appointments.

### Results and Background

Akihiko Fukuda, the incumbent prime minister and leader of the Liberty Party announced several months prior to the election that he would follow the precedent set by Sōsuke Koide of only serving two terms as prime minister. The party subsequently nominated Hideaki Edano, a former *Hakushaku* of Ōyama Prefecture, as its candidate for prime minister.

The election led the Liberty Party to maintain its majority of seats in Parliament and Hideaki Edano was subsequently appointed by Emperor Meiwa as the next prime minister of Shingō. Akihiko Katō resigned as leader of the Constitutional Empire Party five months after the election despite having been appointed leader of the party only 11 months prior. The election effectively marked the end of the Constitutional Empire Party, with the party officially dissolving two years later.
393 Kaungkinmyay Senate Election

The **393 Kaungkinmyay Senate Election** was held on 5 January 393 to determine the composition of the Senate of the Union of Kaungkinmyay.

Voters elected candidates from single-member districts to serve as representatives in the national legislature. These elections utilized a first-past-the-post voting system, meaning that the candidate who received a plurality of votes within a given constituency would be elected as representatives of that constituency. All 20 seats of the Senate were up for election.

For the first time in Kaungkinmyese history, the People's Progress Party was overtaken as the largest party in the Senate. The People's Action Party obtained 9 seats, a net increase of 2, and now held a plurality of seats. Incumbent President Khant Thurein of the People's Progress Party would consequently be forced to compromise with the opposition-controlled Senate in order to pass further legislation. Following the election, Min Kyaw was appointed as the first Speaker of the Senate from the People's Action Party.

The People's Progress Party's poor performance in the election has been attributed to voter dissatisfaction with the government's handling of increasing economic and social instability. Additionally, President Khant Thurein received heavy criticism for his use of a controversial presidential power to strike down a regional law in Htate-Taung in September 392.

The election additionally saw the emergence of Myo Wai, an unaffiliated senator from Phwe Ywar in the Niyah region. He was the first independent senator to be elected since the 381 Senate Election.
Edano Cabinet

The **Edano Cabinet** was the 4th publicly elected Government of the Empire of Shingō that presided during the fifth session of Parliament. It was sworn in on 5 January 151 after the Fifth National Election and dismissed on 9 January 155 after Hideaki Edano's defeat in the Sixth National Election. It was preceded by the Second Fukuda Cabinet and succeeded by the First Gotō Cabinet. Led by Prime Minister Hideaki Edano, it was comprised of members of the Liberty Party and other unaffiliated Ministers of State.
Imperial Restoration Party

*Not to be confused with the Restoration Party, a political party in modern Shingō.*

The **Imperial Restoration Party** (Shingōan: 皇室維新党, *Kōshitsu ishin tō*) was a political party in the Empire of Shingō that existed from 135 to 144 G.E. The party sought to restore absolute monarchy as the governmental system of the Shingōan Empire and frequently opposed other parties' attempts at implementing democratic and populist reforms.

Throughout its period of existence, the Imperial Restoration Party was denounced by all other parties in Parliament and was never included in any ruling coalition.
National Party (Yokoze)

\**Not to be confused with the National Party of Tsukimoto*

The **National Party** (Shingōan: 国民党, *Kokumintō*) is a political party in the Yokoze Confederation. The party sits on the right wing of Yokoze's political spectrum, with their rivals, the Workers Party, situated on the left. The party has traditionally represented farmers and rural voters but has since expanded its appeal towards conservatives and free-market economists.

The party was formed in 354 G.E. after several conservative and right-leaning parties merged to form a united opposition to the Workers Party. At the time of its creation, the National Party opposed tariffs, promoted agrarian socialism, opposed urban industrial subsidies, and encouraged ethnic Shingōan nationalism. In its modern form, the Party promotes social conservatism, lowered taxes on the wealthy, subsidies towards farmers, and closer relations with Shingō and Tsukimoto.

Biei

**Biei** (美瑛町, *Biei-chō*) is a medium-sized island town located in southern Shingō. Biei is known for its scenic views of the neighboring port city of Kanazawa and the southern Shingō Sea. The town's businesses and industries are heavily tied with agriculture, as exports of potatoes, carrots, and tea leaves serve as the island's primary source of income.

The town is generally believed to have been founded by explorers from the Empire of Shingō in the early Meishō Period around 90 G.E., but newly-discovered evidence in the form of artifacts shows that the island may have been previously inhabited by indigenous groups.

### Etymology:

The name Biei (美瑛) contains the characters for "beautiful" and "gem" and is believed to have its origins in the various rare stones and gems found along the island's coast.

73rd Shingōan National Election

The **73rd Shingōan National Election** was held on 10 December 378 to determine the composition of the Parliament of the Imperial Republic of Shingō. Voters elected 50 members to the national legislature, 25 from single-member electorates and 25 from closed party lists. It was the first national election to utilize a mixed-member proportional system of representation. Voting was restricted to men over the age of 20 who paid at least 10 yen in national taxation annually. Official results from the election were released on three days later.

The Liberty Party (自由党, *Jiyūtō*) won a majority of seats and incumbent prime minister Kentarō Suzuki was subsequently elected to another term in office. The Liberty Party won 27 seats, allowing for the formation of a majority government without the need for a formal coalition within another party in Parliament. The Liberty Party, however, chose to still maintain a cooperative relationship with the Peace Party, who, in turn, provided confidence and supply. The election gave rise to the first majority government since Hiroki Mori's first term as prime minister, which lasted from 367 to 371.

In the months preceding the election, opinion polls pointed to a Liberty Party victory, with most newspapers backing the re-election of the incumbent government. The public's approval of Prime Minister Suzuki and the Liberty Party had soared after the passing of several laws and reforms as part of the government's "Fair Society Initiative," which sought to protect civil rights, provide affordable housing, and establish a single-tax system.

This election saw the emergence of the Weian Interest Party in the national scene of Shingōan politics, with the party having emerged largely as a protest against the perceived inaction of the government on matters relating to ethnic Weians. The Reform Party also saw its first national debut under its new name, having rebranded itself from the Conservative Party in 375 G.E. shortly after the 72nd Shingōan National Election.
Hezemi

**Hezemi** is the capital and largest city in the Kezal Principality in the Kingdom of Rösdal. The city is situated along the western coast of the Algal Peninsula, which itself is located in the country's southwestern region. Hezemi is a hub for international trade and hosts the nation's largest dockyard and trade center.

### History

Prior to its incorporation into the Kingdom of Rösdal in 242 B.G.E., Hezemi existed as a semi-autonomous Dutchy that was controlled by a Duke from the greater regional Royal Family. After the Dutchy of Hezemi became part of Rösdal, it annexed several surrounding regions and grew to include towns and settlements outside of the original city of Hezemi. To avoid confusion, the Dutchy — which had since become a Principality — was renamed as the Principality of Kezal.

## Personal Details

### Profession

Legal assistant

**Khant Thurein** (ခန့်သူရိန်; born 11 February 344) is a Kaungkinmyese politician current serving as President of Kaungkinmyay. He previously served as a Senator representing the Palemyaing constituency. Throughout the latter months of 389, he quickly rose through the ranks of the People's Progress Party, becoming its official leader and candidate for president in the Election of 390. His sudden rise to power caused mixed responses within the party, as some admired his perceived youth and optimism while others—particularly former Vice President Phyo Pyae—vocalized their disapproval of his style of leadership.

## Early Life & Career

Khant Thurein was born on February 11th, 344 in the Kaungkinmyese capital city of Palemyaing. He was the only son of Htet Myint, an activist, political leader, and proponent of Kaunkinmyese national unity through the 370s.

From 362 to 368, he attended the National University of Kaungkinmyay and studied history and law. In 370, he began his professional career after being hired to an entry-level position in the Department of Justice. He served there for 12 years before leaving to become a member of the Kaungkinmyese Senate representing his home city of Palemyaing.
59th Tsukimotoan National Election

The **59th Tsukimotoan National Election** was held on 20 December 372 to determine the composition of the Congress of the Republic of Tsukimoto. Voters elected 50 members to the national legislature from single-member constituencies. In this version of the Tsukimotoan electoral system, each town/village held 1 seat in the national legislature and its residents would elect, via plurality vote, one member to serve as their representative. Similarly, each ward (district) of a major city would receive 1 seat in the national legislature. It was the final national election to occur before the introduction of the mixed-member proportional voting system. Voting was restricted to men above the age of 22 who fulfilled property requirements. Official results from the election were released eleven days later.

Prior to the election, the Constitutional Democracy Party, led by President Kim Woo-jin had led a majority government, holding 28 seats in the national Congress. Several months into his 4th term as President (which began in 368), Kim Woo-jin suffered a drop in public opinion after failing to deliver on his promise to lower taxes. Many in Congress, some of whom were from the Constitutional Democracy Party, were critical of the President's reluctance to lower taxes in order to fund the military. However, in 371 (3 years into his 4th term) the President saw a massive increase in public approval following the outbreak and quick conclusion of the Tsukimoto-Windsor Border War. Having led the country to victory in the war and annexing the region of Jinan, the President gained much praise for his handling of the situation. In the weeks leading up to the national election, the Constitutional Democracy Party was expected to maintain its majority in Congress.

The Constitutional Democracy Party increased its seat number by 1, and now controlled 29 seats in Congress. Kim Woo-jin would subsequently be elected to his 5th term as President of Tsukimoto. The Solidarity Party (the official opposition to the CDP government) lost 3 seats, bringing down its total to 9 seats in Congress. All other parties acquired a much smaller proportion of the vote, each receiving 4 seats or less. The newly-founded Minority Interest Party, however, shocked some political analysts by obtaining a noteworthy 4 seats in Congress. Prior to the election, the party had been largely ignored and was thought to have no chance of even gaining representation in Congress.
9th Senate Election of Ankika

The **9th Senate Election of Ankika** was held on 7 November 394 to determine the composition of the Senate of the Independent State of Angelica. The vote was held concurrently to the first round of the 8th Presidential Election. In both elections, voting was restricted to men above the age of 26 who fulfilled property requirements.

Voters elected candidates to serve as representatives of each of the nation's constituencies. These elections utilized a first-past-the-post voting system, meaning that the candidate who received a plurality of votes within a given constituency would be elected as representatives of that constituency. All 35 seats of the National Senate were up for election.

The Nationalist Party increased its share of seats by 4 while the Unity and Progress Party, its primary opponent formerly known as the Free Democratic Party, saw a notable decrease of 5 seats. The Central Unionist Coalition and the Liberation Party both increased their share of seats by 1 respectively. The election additionally saw the emergence of a new political party known as the Honor Party. The group's voter base was primarily comprised of former voters of the now-defunct Frontier Ankika party.
