74th Adorian Election

←73rd - 11th of April 2022 - 75th→

## Electoral System

The National Assembly elects all of her 85 seats in a Simulated/Popular Vote Lottery in which the election system uses a 4:1 ratio of AES to Popular Vote. This election will use AES with the next also utilizing 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

The 73rd Government would be formed on March 30th 2022 under a CSM single-party majority, the 2nd in Adorian history, with the 1st being the 25th'. With Based Autocrat appointed Prime Minister by the newly inaugurated President DANIEL!, as the first solid RightCo since the 58th Government, the CSM would look forward to pursuing their agenda. Many Leftists would brag that President DANIEL! would veto anything extremist. In order to become Interior Minister, James Greene would **resign** his position as Head Judge.

### Night of the Long Knives

On March 31st 2022, President DANIEL! would announce and release evidence of Education Minister Sinpar attempting to extort and bribe Lavanda Senator Jim Milton into supporting the CSM-Government's bills in the Adorian Senate. Sinpar would threaten that Milton would risk losing his business to nationalization if he did not cooperate and would gain a movie deal if he did. These allegations would prompt Minister Sinpar to **resign**, PM Based Autocrat would promptly replace him with Fmr. President Baron. President DANIEL! would pursue charges against Sinpar on bribery, fraud, and extortion, but this dispute would later be dropped.

On April 1st 2022, Justice Minister RMSteve would propose his Justice and Criminal Procedure Amendments Act of 2022, which would go on to pass nearly unanimously. This bill would conflict with Interior Minister Greene's bill in the works, the High Court Revision Act. RMSteve would argue that as MOJ, he has the prerogative on judicial reforms and should have been consulted. James Greene would plead that he had been discussing his bill for several days in advance. PM Based Autocrat would allow the two to independently deal with the issue themselves. This would outrage RMSteve believing it to undermine his authority as MoJ. He would be **replaced** by Meow Zedong who had **resigned** as Chief Justice just 2 hours ago. All future Official CSMCo bills would be required to be signed by PM Based Autocrat in advance.

On April 2nd 2022, The CSMCo would propose a repeal of the Sanctions Act II, a law by the 72nd government which sanctioned Russians involved in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, and Saudis involved in the Murder of Jamal Khashoggi. Environment Minister Von Oldrich, who had authored the Sanctions Act II, would be coerced by PM Based Autocrat into following CSM party-line and upvote the repeal. Health Minister Lady Alice would meet a similar situation, being encouraged to downvote the *Analog to Digital Transition Act*, a bill drafted by the Opposition. Based Autocrat would not want this bill to pass as it could fuel the ego of its author, Libhawk Panda, a new SDP member who Based Autocrat did want to see rise to prominence. This hyperpolarization and tactics would cause Health Minister Lady Alice to **resign** in disagreement.

Though the stability and competence of the Government would be called into question, with the SDP even calling for PM Based Autocrat to resign, the CSM would manage to unanimously pass their Adorian Alcoholism Prevention Act (AAPA) with only Bot.org downvoting. This law would raise the drinking age from 18 to 21. Foreign Minister Brom would attempt to amend the AAPA to lower the age back down to 18. PM Based Autocrat would not approve of Brom's amendment and would prevent him from proposing it.

### Assassination of President DANIEL!

* Legends
* Canon

On April 2nd 2022, Rev Dr. James Luther Pickens Jr. (also known as Get, Джим Пикенс, Slim Pickens, God!) would approach President DANIEL! at his balcony in the upper galleries of the National Assembly Complex —shooting him in the chest with a Smith & Wesson Model 3566. ICM MNA Morgoth Bauglir would approach DANIEL!, bearing witness to his final words: *"I love you Adoria" "and I'm so proud of what I've done" "Goodbye"*.

Pickens would immediately flee from the scene leaving behind his gun. DPM MILFpatrol would issue an arrest warrant for Pickens on homicide and treason. (The next day in larp,) In a pit of despair she would call on Bauglir to put her out of her misery, Bauglir would oblige and shoot her —dead. With the help of CSM MNA 42streetroad, Pickens would manage to flee Adoria via ferry. Bauglir would then shoot 42streetroad killing him.

Morgoth Bauglir would eventually be detained by NA Security, being shot in the leg by James Greene. Sorrow over the death over President DANIEL! would be immense and all-encompassing, leading the NA to soon pass the *Assembly Security Revised Act*, installing metal detectors and a security camera room in the NA Complex. He would be survived by his son Mediterraneo Senator Dr. Rascal Wilson.
On April 2nd, President DANIEL! would die of natural causes. DPM MILFpatrol would decide to resign and go on server break. 42streetroad and Dekks would join her.

### Reshuffle Reconstruction

With the Death of President DANIEL! and stream of resigning CSM Ministers, the SDP and SoL would support snap elections but would not propose any, primarily due to his assassination being retconned by Server Owner Matthew V. On April 3rd 2022, VP Reeves would be inaugurated as the 32nd President of Adoria. Due to there being no Chief Justice, he would be inaugurated by the Server Owner in DMs. Regardless, the tribulations over the past few days had cost the Federal Government a vacant Vice President, Chief Justice, Head Judge, Health Ministry, and Education Ministry again following MoE Minister Baron leaving. To their jubilee SDP Leader Dekks would resign as SDP Leader. Nevertheless the Based Autocrat Cabinet would continue.

On April 4th 2022, PM Based Autocrat would announce a vast reshuffle of the Cabinet, dismissing 4 ministries and filling the 2 vacant ones. On April 6th 2022, President Reeves would present an Omnibus appointments bill that would fill and reappoint the Supreme Court, High Court, and Vice Presidency in one fellow swoop. It would pass nearly unanimously the next day. It would also mark Montiel as being the first Adorian to fill 7/7 of the Adorian Order of Precedence.

### The Senate and the States IV

The 1st Adorian Senate would open on on March 30th 2022, 6 days after the first Senate elections were held. Yannick would be elected as the first President Pro Tempore of the Senate. On April 2nd 2022, the retirements of MILFpatrol and Dekks would leave 2 vacancies in the Senate with no way to fill them. On April 5th 2022, Bank Chairman King Adoria would propose the *Senatorial Vacancies Act*, a constitutional amendment that would fill vacancies in the Senate by having the Governor of a State nominate an appointee to the people of the State, to approve the appointee who would then become the new Senator for the remainder of the unfinished senate term, the bill would pass unanimously.

CSM's repeal of the Sanctions Act II, would be the only bill to pass the NA but fail in the Senate. SDP's Children Hospital Construction Act and CSM's *Repeal of the Anti-Monarch Act* would be the only bills to pass the NA but tie in the Senate, VP Montiel would tiebreak in favor of both.

For the very beginning of the Senate many leftists would be opposed to it on the basis of unequal democracy. Rightists were more receptive to the creation of the Senate with many being federalists and Libeccian identitarians. Many would theorize that Rightists had envisioned a Senate to constrain SDP's influence, but ironically the 1st senate elections would yield 3/8 rightists. On April 7th 2022, The *Repealment of the Bicameral Acts*, would be passed by Morgoth Bauglir with around 75% voting in favor. This Act would bring an end to the Senate with its dissolution scheduled to coincide with the closing of the 73rd NA on April 11th 2022, Staff Team would however delete the Senate immediately after the repeal passed, bringing an end to the Senate on April 7th 2022.

Proposed Regency Council
April 8 2022

On April 7th 2022, VP Montiel would tiebreak **in favor** of the *Repeal of the Anti-Monarch Act*, a bill that had tied in the Senate and which would repeal The Adorian Anti-Monarchist Act, a law passed by the 60th NA which categorizing claims of Monarchy as being treason. President Reeves would announce the next day that he would not be vetoing the bill claiming that Monarchy was a dead movement and that the competent Emperor Kookoo and his relatives had left long, long ago. He would however warn that he would veto any Monarchy bill that attempted to establish a monarchy without a national referendum.

On April 8th 2022, the Lex Adoria (Lex is Latin for law) drafted by David Cameron, Otto Von Oldrich and Sinpar, would propose abolishing the Adorian Senate, declare Christianity the State Religion, and establish a 6-member Regency Council that would elect a new Monarch to serve as Co-Head of State along with the President. The National Assembly would have no mechanism for removing a Monarch. Though the bill mentions the word ''King'' the title of the Monarch would be left ambiguous. It would fail the next day with **59.02%**, short of the required 2/3rds for constitutional amendments. Though this amendment had failed it would mark the first time since the 38th Constituent Assembly that a majority of the NA had voted in favor of Pro-Monarchy legislation.

In hindsight the proposed regency council members would reveal they would have nominated PM Based Autocrat for Monarch, though some would be sympathetic towards a Yannick Monarchy.

On April 9th 2022, the Government would propose the Law on the Status of the Descendants of the Di Fonte Dynasty, a bill granting legal recognition to the Di Fonte dynasty, the royal house that had ruled Adoria in the Med Island lore. It would also establish the Royal Di Fonte Foundation to safeguard their place in Adorian culture and tradition, to do this Di Fonte descendants would be granted access to facilities and resources on state property. The Descendants would also be entitled to a monthly income equaling the amount of monthly gross earnings of the President of Adoria. Any property that had been seized by the Adorian Government in the 1946 uprising would be returned to the Descendants, with monetary compensation provided if any property returns were nonviable. This legislation would pass with a majority in favor.

### Blue Wave

Besides pursuits in the monarchy the CSM would propose 64% of all legislation in the 73rd NA, in comparison they only proposed 40% in the 72nd NA. They would enact what is historically analyzed to be the most conservative government Adoria had ever seen:

* Adorian Alcoholism Prevention Act would raise the legal drinking age from 18 to 21.
* Illegal Movement of People’s Act would overhaul the Adorian immigration system implementing a no-tolerance policy for illegal migrants.
* Cultural Heritage Protection Act would establish the Adorian National Heritage Institute to encourage, promote, and strengthen Adorian patriotism and Christian values. However any of their activities in the Duchy of Libeccio would need to be approved by the Libeccian Cultural Institute.
* Religious Institutions Financial Regulations Act would grant tax cuts and government subsidies to Orthodox, Catholic, Muslim, and Other churches. State School Inspectorate Act would establish the State School Inspectorate to investigate schools in order to monitor the quality of the curriculum being performed. School inspectors would be authorized to access student personal information including mental health diagnostics, all under professional secrecy.
* Law on the Status of the Descendants of the Di Fonte Dynasty would grant legal recognition to the former Di Fonte Monarchy (in lore), providing them with reparations and income. This act would establish the Royal Di Fonte Foundation to safeguard their place in Adorian culture and tradition.
* Contempt of Court Act would standardize judicial powers on criminal contempt.
* Memorials and Statues Act any memorials or commemorations built by the Federal government would require the consent of the State government and local municipal authority of which it is being built in.
* Beautiful Architecture Preservation Act launched a project to examine all public structures and buildings in Adoria and to rebuild any that are in a brutalist or modernist style.
* *Adoption regulation Act* is an amendment to the Adoption Regulation Act that CSM passed during the 71st NA. This amendment would ban LGBT and trans couples from adopting. However this amendment was **vetoed**

### Child Safety Act

The Child Safety Act (CSA) would be passed by the CSM to alleviate fears of parents that literacy capability development was slowing down in Adoria due to an increase in television consumption (CT event confirmed these fears), along with tackling other policies:

* amend the Labeling System for Audiovisual Works Act which had been previously passed by the CSM during the 71st NA. These amendments would require all content for ages below 7 to be educational primarily in history and heritage. Any content that portrays deviation from the identity corresponding to one’s sex assigned at birth, sex reassignment, or promotion of homosexuality would be classified as unsuitable for minors under the age of 19.
* changes to the Adorian Education System would require any organization wishing to provide school lectures on sexual education, drug prevention, internet usage, or any other topics relating to mental and physical development, to first be registered by a federal or state agency.
* Classroom discussion on sexual orientation or gender identity in primary grade levels would be prohibited
* Any School sexual education would be prohibited from promoting homosexuality, sex reassignment, or deviation from the identity corresponding to one’s sex assigned at birth.
* amend the Advertisement Regulations Act, a bill passed by the CSM in the 73rd NA. The amendments would ban advertisements that promote deviation from the identity corresponding to one’s sex at birth, sex reassignment, or homosexuality.
* make Prostitution illegal and a Felony of the Third Degree, prostitutes caught on the 1st offence would not be prosecuted and instead sent to a rehabilitation service. Websites offering Pornography would be fully banned in Adoria. Striptease clubs would additionally be banned.

### Abortion

Originally proposed by the CSM during the 71st NA, the *All Life Protected ACT*, was a bill that previously failed but would be reintroduced by the CSM on April 8th 2022. The bill would propose a near-total ban of abortion except in cases of rape, the mother is under 18, or if the mother's life is in danger during childbirth —it would pass. On April 10th 2022, President Reeves would however **veto** the *All Life Protected ACT* citing the degradation of life an adult will experience if forced to become a parent. CSM would soon submit a veto **override** which would pass meeting the 3/5ths quota.

## Results

The election would go live April 11th 2022, and end the next day. After 47 hours of waiting (GE64 took 59 hours), results would be released on April 14th 2022. CSM would have proposed 64% of all legislation while also loosing political prestige over so many resignations and death. Voter turnout would be measured at: **18.85%**.

## Government Formation

With such close numbers between the SDP and CSM it would be clear the importance of Independents would prove most important similar to the formation of the 52nd and 65th governments. The next day however SoL would announce their dissolution complicating matters, however they would not officially dissolve due to not pinging Server Owner Matthew V in their dissolution announcement. NDP would swiftly side with SDP as they were both strongly opposed to CSM's monarchist and homophobic agenda. These coalitions would hold 39 (CSM-SoL) and 40 (SDP-NDP-FL) respectively. King Adoria and Yannick would join the CSM-SoL coalition bringing their total to 41.

This would however still be short of a majority and leave the loyalties of Mikoyan, Mr. Rascal, Slim Pickens, and JNChicane in limbo. These 4 (along with KA and Yannick for no practical reason) would commune into a group chat to coordinate their combined influence.

Slim Pickens being a Libleft, Mr. Rascal a Centre-left, and JNChicane being a power-hungry, would prefer a LeftCo, sending them a written list of demands, including but not limited to: international neutrality, decreased defence spending, financial reforms. Mr. Rascal, Mikoyan, KA, and Yannick would not agree to these proposals. Nevertheless JNChicane and Pickens would send them to the SDP —who would reject these proposals.

This would prompt JNChicane to join KA and Yannick in the RightCo (bringing the total up to 42). Undeterred, Mr. Rascal and Slim Pickens would join the LeftCo's proposed Bossman-Cabinet anyways, (bringing their total up to 42). With an even **42-42** split, Adoria would be at one of its closest formations yet (the formations of the 11th and 52nd Governments are also considered contentious). Though Mikoyan would be preferential to a LeftCo, he would take the occasion to join neither coalition creating a crisis.

Signups for Minority coalitions would begin on late April 16th 2022, President Reeves would thus pick whichever coalition he preferred once the 24-hour window ended. However early on April 17th 2022, Slim Pickens would contact the RightCo claiming to have been convinced to join by Yannick. With this 43-seat majority President Reeves would appoint the majority coalition a few hours later, before the minority Co signups ended as it wasn't a minority Co. With this PM Based Autocrat would officially secure another term as PM.
