55th Adorian Election

←54th - 24th of July 2021 - 56th*→*

## Election System

The National Assembly elects all of her 85 seats in a simulated election process known as the AES. The main component of the AES is the popular vote which comprises 40% of the AES with other factors such as propaganda, party activity, Party member notability, bills proposed, etc composing the rest of the electorate. The AES is overseen by Matthew V. Independent Candidates function outside of the AES and only require 1/85th (1.18%) of the Popular Vote.

## Background

#### China

On July 14th, 2021, the Tomi Administration would end with the inauguration of LastCelebration and Adam Lojcus. On the First Day of the New Assembly and Presidential Administration, the Adorian Chinese Foreign Inverstment Protection Act (ACFIPA) would be proposed with it passing almost unanimously. This ACFIPA aimed to counter Chinese economic imperialism by prohibiting any investors who are members of the CCP or have links to the Chinese Government and any companies or trust funds owned by at least 25% of the CCP. Upon passage the next day, China would announce disappointment with the ACFIPA and would place Adoria under embargo due to the discrimination against Chinese companies, additionally contacting the WTO to seek a solution. Zhongyou a Chinese Telecommunications company would be torn as having Non-CCP network operators would violate Chinese National Security Laws. Zhongyou would choose to continue having CCP-linked executive board members. Additionally a Fu Lin would purchase real estate in Adoria however some legal experts would describe Mr. Lin's Chinese citizenship as enough to violate the ACFIPA. On July 18th, 2021, Law 439 would be passed exempting chinese small businesses from the ACFIPA along with allowing Fmr. CCP members who were only ever entry-level, investing rights in adoria. However these new deregulations could be overidden by the Chamber of Commerce on a case-by-case basis. Chinese companies would be allowed to appeal an Opt-out by join-consent of the Foreign Minister and President (or Vice). The next day the CoC overide and Opt-out appeal system were repealed. With this China would be appeased and withdrew their WTO complaint.

#### Mediterraneo

On June 25th, 2021, Fmr. Emperor Ethan would be inaugurated as the 13th Governor of Mediterraneo. His first action would be to decree a 6-member appointive Mediterraneo State Assembly. The next day Ethan would propose the Mediterraneo Imperial Restoration Act (IRA) which was not approved by the Public with a majority voting against. However the Appointed MSAs approved. This would make Ethan King of the Kingdom of Mediterraneo. Due to such actions residents would almost unanimously pass the Mediterraneo Assembly Act which formalized Mediterraneo as a Devolved Regional Government with an elected 10-member Regional Assembly. Ethan would however issue an absolute-veto on this act. On Ethan's last day of Governor on July 17th, 2021, he would issue a Royal Decree declaring Turnips the official currency of Mediterraneo. This would all be enough for Daniel and Hosoh to sue Ethan for abuse of authority and nepotism (monarchism). Ethan would declare no contest to allegations of nepotism and abuse of authority and would be bared from holding political office besides MNA for the next 8 years until September 11th, 2021. However Ethan would plead not guilty for abuse of authority for the Imperial Restoration Act just the Turnip Act. Ethan's lawyer Reeves would provide no evidence or witness to the trial and it would end quickly with Ethan being found guilty of abuse of authority and sent to prison for 5 days. Despite having no legal basis the IRA and Ethan's absolute-veto would be repealed and the State legislature democratized by Mediterraneo's next Governor, Hosoh.

#### Healthcare

On July 22nd, 2021, the SoL-led government would attempt to reoutline the National Health Insurance and create certain insurance funds to better manage healthcare in adoria. However many would see it as a plan to decrease healthcare spending which comprises roughly 30% of the past few budgets. This proposal would tie with Vice President Lojcus voting **against** the bill.

## Results

The election would go live on July 24th, 2021, with a typical 24-hour cycle. Results would be announced with July 26th, 2021, with a turnout of **25.63%**. With 8 elected Independent MNAs this is the most of any assembly.

Popular Vote information is no longer released by the Election Commission.

## Government Formation

Unusually no Coalition was able to form. Due to this the 54th Government would continue on as Caretaker.
