73rd Adorian Election

←72nd - 27th of March 2022 - 74th→

## 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 2 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

With a government formed on March 17th, 2022 of SDP-DMEA. PM Dekks' first issue of order would be to announce the government's primary goals for the term. One of which would be to allow foreign investment into oil and gas and establishing a national oil and gas extraction company. An issue previously dealt in the 62nd and 63rd election cycles.

### DMEA Instability

On March 18th 2022, Justice Minister Oldrich would resign over the Government's plans to extract oil and gas across Adoria. Soon enough DMEA Deputy Kortographer would announce that Leader StarsBees had not consulted with the DMEA when agreeing to the SDP-DMEA coalition, specifically SDP's plans to reintroduce gas and oil into the economy. Kor would also announce a recall vote had begun against StarsBees for violating party by-laws with his actions, along with a Government Confidence vote within the DMEA to officially agree as a party to the SDP-DMEA coalition. StarsBees would soon resign elevating Lady Alice to Acting Leader. Fearing the collapse of the party, DANIEL! would return from his retirement to run for leader, successfully beating Kor's bid for Leader. PM Dekks would denounce Kor calling him a ''lowly power hungry weasel'', who had failed in his attempt to seize power of the DMEA and destroy the SDP-DMEA coalition. Lady Alice would defect to CSM citing social policy disagreement and undesirable internal party chaos. The DMEA's confidence vote would pass in support of the SDP-DMEA coalition.

March 21st 2022, Kor would resign as DMEA Deputy and defect to the CSM believing there to no longer be a place for him in the DMEA. Kor would then sponsor SoL's resolution to censure PM Dekks for failure to maintain stability and infighting in the government.

March 22nd 2022, DMEA leadership would announce Kortographer had been barred from the party in the event he ever decided to rejoin. This would soon be followed by CSM leadership announcing their unanimous vote to bar Kor from the CSM. Kor would remain Independent. With the Vote of Censure tied, the decision would fall upon VP King Adoria, who had been elected under SDP, DMEA, LF endorsement. Considering his future political career, KA would decide he no longer wished to cooperate or work with the SDP, along with firmly believing the government coalition should see consequence for what had transpired, would vote **in favour** of the censure.

### The Senate and the States III

A surprise to many the Staff Team would announce they would be complying with the Bipartisan Parliament-Government Reform Act. With this shock the NA would swiftly pass the *Backdoor to Democracy Act*, amending the amendment process to allow the National Assembly to pass constitutional amendments without the Adorian Senate's consent if the constitutional amendment was related to the Senate, thus allowing the NA to abolish the Senate without the Senate's consent. Next, the *Unicameralism Re-Affirmation Act* would be proposed abolishing the Senate, however it would fail with only a sliver of a majority as opposed to the required 2/3rds. The 1st Adorian Senate Elections would begin on March 24th 2022, with all runoffs starting the next day.

### Communist Insurrection

On March 22nd 2022, The Public Defense League would announce plans to turn away from its previous legal and litigation methods to more direct actions by re-establishing themselves as a labour union to represent all workers and backgrounds along with also serving as a leftist militia against state and capitalist violence. Without consulting any members, PDL Leader Usyer Naem would announce plans for an armed march on Ador City to occupy 5 blocks of the city near the National Assembly Complex to demand the government to commit the following actions:

* Investment into free publicly owned utilities so that the Adorian people can have guaranteed access to basic utilities such as electricity
* Increased ease of access to post-secondary education so that higher education is actually accessible to and used by the average person (as only 17% of people have post secondary qualifications)
* More economic power given directly to the working class

On March 23rd 2022, In swift response to the grace national security threat posed by the PDL, PM Dekks would declare a National Firearms Re-registration, to update the National Firearms Registry. Along with the *Peace in Ador City Executive Order*, mobilizing 500 federal police reinforcements, half of which would be riot police, to the national capitol. Granting them restraint orders to keep the peace and secure government facilities and city blocks; City Hall, Tax Offices, Police Department, National Assembly Complex, city blocks close to government facilities. Along with issuing an ultimatum to the PDL to call off their armed occupation warning any armed protestor would be arrested with their weapon temporarily confiscated.

The Public Defense League would reject the Government's demands and reaffirm plans of their occupy protest. PDL would Invite all workers to join their cause along with announcing actions to set up medical stands in case of police and or fascist violence and to supply food and water to all participating. Dutch Diaspora and Adorians for a Monarch would announce a peaceful counter-protest against the communists, later being joined by SoL and Capitalist Coalition Corner.

The Interior Ministry would establish a peaceful protesting area in the low-populated Block 13, 26, and 4 of Ador City. Warning that any protest outside the designated areas would be dispersed; and that any armed protestor would be arrested for weapon possession. The Interior Ministry would also authorize non-lethal force to arrest Usyer Naem if spotted at the protest; dispatch an additional 2,000 police to Ador City along with Helicopters, riot Police, mounted police, and the SOTF.

Usyer Legal Aid would announce they will be representing any protestor arrested in anti-government protests. The Public Defense League would ridicule the Government for its authoritarianism and effort at every turn to impede on their right to protest and bear arms. Undeterred the PDL would add to their demands, calling for the resignation of the government and pardon of any arrested protestor.

The Government would not stand down and PM Dekks would decree the extreme *Militia Disbandment Act II*, disbanding the PDL and all other militias in Adoria, with 125% monetary compensation for weapons. Private military contractors and businesses in the Arms industry would be exempt from the ban. CJ Zedong would issue an arrest warrant for Usyer Naem's arrest for Conspiracy Against the State.

In their last moments before forced dissolution, the PDL would speak that their movement for labour and welfare had grown into a movement for a free society and exposed the tyranny of the Government. Adding new demands the PDL would call for a repeal of all recent EOs and new legislation to protect workers, protestors, and the public at large from government tyranny. The ICM would announce that the party that voted unanimously to support the PDL's actions, which had been repeatedly denounced by SDP, DMEA, and SoL.

On March 24th 2022, The 72nd National Assembly would pass the PRESERVE Act of 2022, a law expanding general national security measures and powers of the National Police. This would include the power of mass bulk-data collection so long as the data was acquired by a suspected terrorist or with a warrant. The Law would also restrict and limit the freedoms of suspected terrorists such as the power to detain suspected terrorists for up to a year, banning terrorist organizations from receiving donations, and restricting confirmed terrorists from leaving their state without emergency. NA72 would also pass a resolution expelling Usyer Naem from the Assembly and any potential future office for the next month. This would make Naem the first MNA to be expelled by any National Assembly. The Interior Ministry would officially act on CJ Zedong's warrant and detain PDL Leader Naem placing him under arrest.

On March 26th 2022, the PRESERVE Act would be amended to include, *"The President, Minister of Defence, or both may order the Adorian Armed Forces in any manner they deem necessary in order to detain suspected individuals or engage in aggressive deterrence of terrorism within the bounds of the Constitution and laws of Adoria."* On this day VP King Adoria would vote **against** the proposed AVRM Act, a bill proposing the deployment of the Adorian Armed Forces and militarization of the situation, along with declaring the PDL as a terrorist organization and any and all members as treasonous terrorists unless they condemn the PDL.

### Usyer Naem V. Adoria

After 2 days in detention, the High Court would officially convene on March 26th 2022.

Following the events of Opposition Leader Bossman's arrest in late January 2022, the 71st National Assembly would pass the Protection Against Unlawful Arrest Act (PAUAA) on 22 February 2022, a law requiring all arrests to include specified lengths of detainment.

With this, Plaintiff Usyer Naem would sue the Adorian Federation, represented by Defence Reeves, for violating the PAUAA due to the Arrest Warrant, which included the sentence: *The suspect shall remain held until the verdict has been released for the charges above in hopes to protect the state from future aggressions.* Reeves would argue that the Verdict's release would suffice as a length of detainment. Naem would argue that a specific length would be a date or unit of time.

On March 27th 2022, CJ Zedong would decree Naem's release from pre-trial detention as the Government had not submitted any evidence for Naem's trial for conspiracy against the state within 24 hours of detention, a violation of the Criminal Procedure Code. The High Court would issue their verdict **in favour** of the Adorian Federation, ruling that CJ Zedong's arrest warrant was legal. Dr. Tomi would soon issue a public announcement that Head Judge James Greene's physical health had rapidly deteriorated and had been sent to the Ador City Sanatorium. This would soon be followed by a subsequent announcement announcing the HJ had fallen into a vegetative coma. He would later awaken wheelchair bound on March 30th 2022.

### Trial of Usyer Naem

CJ Zedong would serve as Acting Head Judge. Usyer Naem's trial for conspiracy against the state would be set for March 29th 2022, later being moved to the 30th. As no action was taken the case would be dismissed.
