16th Chawopolis Palace

Chawopolis Palace

Communist Party in red (418) and Social Democrats in blue (182)

The **16th Chawopolis Palace**, or **Palace 16**, was a Chawosaurian government that lasted from January 1, 1980, to December 31, 1985. This is the first Chawopolis Palace government in which the Chawallian Communist Party ruled the monarchy, the prime ministership, and supermajority control of the Imperial Assembly of the Chawopolis Palace and it will remain that way for thirty years from 1980 to 2010 and the Communist Party's unified control of government will remain for 36-years from 1980 to 2016 but four years later restored in 2020 by Shang Jong Parker.

This Chawopolis Palace was elected in a landslide in the 1979 Chawosaurian legislative elections. This is the first government since the 8th Chawopolis Palace during the Second World War that one party ruled the entire Chawosaurian Imperial Government. This is the first time in Chawosaurian history that one *-ism* (this case being socialism) has dominated the entire Chawosaurian political system because both the Chawallian Communist Party and its new rival and opposition party, the Social Democratic Labour Party of Chawosauria, are both left-wing parties dedicated to socialism but disagree on what kind of socialism should rule Chawosauria.

Palace 16 was one of Chawosauria's most productive sessions of parliament, passing 20 laws. This is the first parliamentary term since World War II that a single political party has control of the whole Chawosaurian Imperial Government, and the first time ever in Chawosaurian history, in general, that a communist party would have and wield these level of power in the Chawosaurian world.

## Background

The Chawallian Communist Party had controlled the Imperial Assembly of the Chawopolis Palace since the 1945 Chawosaurian legislative elections, and its new Speaker, Timothy Max Roosevelt, had ruled the Chawopolis Palace and his party with an iron fist, the most ruthless rule of the Chawopolis Palace since the prime ministership of Garfield Lucas Webster in the 1910s.

In the 1975 Chawosaurian direct election, triggered by Emperor Santiago's decision to retire, Timothy Max Roosevelt was elected Supreme Leader of the Empire of Chawosauria to take Santiago's place and then, in the process, greatly weakening Prime Minister Jonathan Dragan Bismarck XVII, giving him so much little to absolute no power at all to block socialist legislation. Bismarck retired due to an expired prime ministerial term, and he was replaced by Leonid Ivan Bzovsky, a Soviet Ukrainian. In the 1979 Chawosaurian legislative elections, the Communist Party gained 80 seats.

Control of the Chawopolis Palace already, and now in control of the entire Imperial Leadership and Administration, the Communist Party now for the next 36 years will have a solid lock of control of the entire Chawosaurian Imperial Government, starting from 1980 up to 2016.
