1999

The **20th Chawopolis Palace** was a meeting of the Chawopolis Palace lasted from January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2005. This is the first Chawopolis Palace in the 21st Century and the 3rd Millennium. The Chawallian Communist Party of Supreme Leader Timothy Max Roosevelt had unified control of the Chawosaurian Imperial Government, holding the Monarchy, the Premiership, and a supermajority in the Imperial Assembly of the Chawopolis Palace.

The 20th Chawopolis Palace or **Palace 20** contained a Communist Party supermajority. Timothy Max Roosevelt was the Supreme Leader of the Empire of Chawosauria, Jonathan Lachlan MacAlasdair VIII was the Prime Minister of the Empire of Chawosauria and Speaker of the Palace. The members of the Palace were elected in the 1999 Chawosaurian legislative elections, with the Communist Party winning 465 seats, gaining 47 seats from 418 seats they held. George Windsor, leader of the opposition and leader of the Social Democratic Labour Party which held 182, being reduced down to 135 seats, losing 47 seats to Communists.

Though not a very eventful session of parliament, Palace 20 is widely known in Chawosauria to be the session of parliament to take place at the time of the September 11 Attacks in 2001 and the outbreak of the War on Terror, particularly in Afghanistan and the more controversial, Iraq, in 2001 and 2003 respectively. The U.S. War in Afghanistan would last for 20 years until a disastrous result in 2021, when U.S. President Joe Biden ordered U.S. withdrawal exploited by the Taliban to retake Afghanistan from a U.S.-installed republican government, and the War in Iraq was more controversial, U.S. President George W. Bush justified intelligence reports accusing Iraq led by dictator Saddam Hussein of holding WMDs, but once Iraq was invaded and Hussein overthrown, no such weapons of mass destruction were found and the United States Armed Forces was forced to fight an unplanned war with Iraqi insurgents and went on to leave the war in 2011 empty handed.
