## Electoral System

**5%**for parties, **1/65th**for independents. This election saw the return of the famous D'Hondt election system. On January 1st, 2021, Law 24 was passed raising the seat count from 55 to **65**. Law 35 was also passed requiring the province question.

## Background

#### Le Drunken Disaster

On New Years Eve, A Drunk Driver was pulled over for not having a back license plate, however he would suddenly decided to speed away dragging the Special Constable an estimated 6 metres before he was eventually driven over. Drunk Driver, Giorno Gretzia has since been waiting in jail waiting for trial since the murder. Following such an incident Interior Minister Matthew V would pass an executive order establishing the Motor Vehicle Agency which setout guidelines for safer roads in Adoria.

#### Karl Schmidt V. Andeltana

On January 1st, 2021, Andeltana Governor King Adoria would announce that the province had voted to rename to Hussaria. This was met with opposition as Libeccio Governor Karl Schmidt would challenge it on the grounds that the consitution did not allow provinces to rename themselves. A new bill, The Namings Act would be presented to allow provinces to rename themselves this however was unpopular and failed. The Supreme Court would rule that the provinces are allowed to rename themselves in a 1-4-0 verdict. Despite this verdict the Staff team would go on to ignore it as both the verdict and amendment proposal were unpopular. A second Namings Act would be presented the next day with signatures from all 6 associate justices and 4 governors, this new proposal would recieve 2/3rds and would be passed as Law 27. The next day after the passing of the Namings Act, Andeltana would hold a 2nd vote in which the province unanimously voted in favor of renaming to Hussaria. However the Staff team would ignore the amendment as it did not include the text it was amending. Due to how unpopular the SC verdict was the National Assembly would soon pass the Judiciary Reform Act 2, requiring Justices and Judges to provide a reason for their Votes.

#### The Adventures of Gio

Fmr. Maritania Governor Gio had since managed to land himself as Lt. Governor of Synaro following the 2nd Gubernatorial elections. Synaro would go on to hold a Flaf referndum in which Gio was the only one who submitted a flag proposal, inspired by the German War Flag in Adorian blues and yellows; this flag would be officially adopted by Synaro on January 2nd, 2021. Gio would also propose his Provincial Policing bill which would legalize the quartering of soldiers in peacetime in Synaro, banning criticism of the Provincial government, expelling the federal police, suspending the right to trial, and establishing a secret police, the Synaron Gestapo. However the Provincial Policing bill was widely unpopular and on January 4th, 2021, Governor Seafox would replace Gio with Fmr. Synaro Governor tooger.

#### Party Formations

On December 30th, 2020, A fringe party was formed by maría and the friends she brought with her. The Citizen Party would soon gain a dreadful reputation with many reports of harassing Nicholas Fofi and Jose Montiel. Their own Deputy Leader, David Cameron would soon leave the Citizen Party after growing tired of their antics. the Social Democratic Party would announce that they would not be joining any coalitions with the CP; the SPA and ARP would also make similar announcements. After one of their more prominent figures, Claire got banned for harassment rumours and plans of conspiring to nuke the server would grow. In response the Staff team would ban maría and all who were invited by her and deleted the Citizen Party ending the short lived party after just 6 days. To prevent such events in the future Party Leaders are now required to have been in Adoria for at least one month before being allowed to be party leader or dpl. A minimum sentence of 24 hours was also placed on using loopholes for slurs.

As the Citizen Party ended, the Libertarian Party would return the next day the 4th Green Party followed. These new parties are expected to influence adorian politics for the next several election cycles.

#### Mining Crash

On January 7th, 2021, the Adorian Mining Industry would crash in response to the carbon tax leading to 50,000 workers loosing their jobs. Adoria's 3 largest Unions, the Industrial Workers of the World Adoria, the Labour Organisation and the Adorian Agrarian Union would all then begin launcing coordinated strikes across of Adoria. Following such matters, the Assembly would vote to illegalize firing of employees on the basis of Union activity. Interior Minister Matthew V would present a bill to the Assembly on nationalizing the Mining Industry the bill was not taken well and resulted with the New Democrats withdrawling suport from the government. Agriculture Minister Kurt Niederman would resign claiming responsibility for the carbon tax. Industry Minister Kaiserdoge and Health Minister KingSepron would also resign. Foreign Affairs Minister KohnSmith would be fired at the sametime as his attempted at labelling the US as a Vessel of genocide harmed relations with America. With 4 minister changes the Ponderix Cabinet became viewed as incompetent.

## Results
