## Election

### Election

2005

The **21st Chawopolis Palace** (also known as **Palace 21**) was a Chawopolis Palace session that lasted from January 1, 2006, to December 31, 2009. The Chawallian Communist Party had strong control of both the Monarchy, the Premiership, and a vast supermajority in the Imperial Assembly of the Chawopolis Palace.

Elected in the 2005 Chawosaurian legislative elections, the Communist Party of Palace 21 took an aggressive stance against religious freedom in Chawosauria as a result of the Islamic-terrorist attack on the United States on September 11, 2001, four years prior. Palace 21 strengthened State Atheism in Chawosauria, as part of the authoritarian concepts of Communism. Timothy Max Roosevelt benefited from Palace 21 by using this Palace to spread anti-religious propaganda and used the 9/11 attacks as justification for the government's anti-religious, pro-atheist policies. Palace 21 received an open backlash for their use of the 911 attacks as an excuse to push for partisan and ideological policies and it partly attributed to the Communist Party's heavy losses in the 2009 Chawosaurian legislative elections.

On environmental issues, Palace 21 was very anti-environmentalist despite the objection from MacAlasdair. The Palace itself, led by Roosevelt, tried to drive the whole species of Emperor Penguins into extinction by catching as much fish around the coasts of Antarctica as possible to drain their food resources, this received pushback by the United Orbises, the Orbian World, and Prime Minister MacAlasdair. Palace 21 rolled back their extinction plots due to mounting pressure. Palace 21 strengthened deforestation, fossil fuels, and more unhealthy natural resources.

This is the last Chawopolis Palace government of the 30-year era of 1980 to 2010, that there was a supermajority government. However, it wouldn't be the last, given that though the Communist Party lost their supermajority in the elections of 2009, it was restored in the elections of 2015 but collapsed in 2017, then supermajority restored for a second time in 2019.

Palace 21 is the least productive and not very eventful, continuing a historical trend of Chawosaurian sessions of parliament taking place late in a decade. Chawosaurians do not like least productive politics, resulting in the Communist Party losing 215 seats plus a supermajority in the 2009 Chawosaurian legislative elections, forcing the Communist Party to stand on an uncomfortably narrow majority. 2009 however was a busy year: Barack Obama's inauguration, Michael Jackson's death, the start of the Chawosaurian Revolution, and the 2009 Chawosaurian legislative elections.
