62nd Adorian Election

←61st - 30th of October 2021 - 63rd*→*

## Electoral System

On 22 October 2021, the 61st National Assembly would pass Law 522 lowering the seat count from 85 to **65**, this change will come into effect starting with this election; The National Assembly elects all of her 65 seats in a Simulated/Popular Vote Lottery in which the election system for the term is decided via dice roll. As a Popular Vote was rolled in the previous election in which the odds were 25% AES - 75% Popular, the odds of this election were an additional +25% to the losing choice for odds of **50% AES to 50% Popular**.

If AES is rolled the Adorian Election System is used to determine the election results. 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 1/65th (1.54%) of the Popular Vote.

## Background

Many Lavandi citizens would not forget the failed negotiations between the Lux Governorship and Bert Cabinet. Broken promises and inconclusive talks would decrease trust in the system and increase extremism between Lavandi unionists and republicans, with both total independence and Adorian nationalism increasing in the Lavanda Islands.

### Arrest of Calabresi

Instigators of the Oct 10 riot would be successfully prosecuted by the Federal Police. Unrelated, on 19 October 2021, the Lavandi local police would arrest ex-Mayor of Galilei, Renato Calabresi for embezzlement of city funds and using them for his campaign however, he would be released 4 days later as there was not sufficient evidence for the case. Upon his release, Calabresi would denounce the arrest as a political move by Mayor Trevisan and announce his intention to run again for Mayor of Galilei to protect the city from Trevisan and his ideas.

### Lavanda-Aklanos Bridge

    On 23 October 2021, the Lavanda-Aklanos Bridge would collapse just before rush hour killing 1 and injuring 4. With no flammable substances or potential fire hazards nearby the unknown cause of the explosion would be speculated by authorities as potentially being an intentional malicious act. The Interior and Defence Ministries would establish a 10km exclusion zone for 5,000 Armed Forces Personnel to provide medical support, search and rescue, and patrolling. The Adorian Navy would assist on the waters. The *Bridge Attack Special Investigative Unit (BASIU)* would also be established by the Interior Ministry to investigate the unknown explosion. On 25 October 2021, the National Assembly would pass the Emergency Federal Support Act authorizing 1,000 federal police reinforcements to Galilei.

### Hussaria and Anti-Monarchism

The Adorian Anti-Monarchist Act, a law passed by the 60th National Assembly which recognized any claims of being a monarch in Adoria as treason, would be used for the first time on 20 October 2021, with Justice Ministry detaining Hussaria Governor Yannick due to his claims of being Duke of Hussaria, however the case would be dropped and Yannick would be released the next day. The Situation in Hussaria from then would begin to deteriorate with Hussarian patriots beginning to display the Hussarian flag more and more from their homes and cars, with hussaria colour armbands becoming popular. These monarchist demonstrations and protests would proceed peacefully however anti-monarchist vandalism would begin to be reported on historical monuments.

On 23 October 2021, the Hussaria Governor's Mansion would experience a fire in the night. The Home Guard would successfully evacuate the Governor and all those present. Rumours and theories would begin to circulate that there are those conspiring to destroy the hussarian identity. On 28 October 2021, Hussaria would vote to rename to their historic name Libeccio, ending its 7-month absence.

### Gas

On 19 October 2021, President Daniel would issue a presidential decree lifting the ban on new oil and gas power plant construction, and the ban on state and provincial funding of oil and gas firms. Almost instantly economists would applaud this decision with gas prices remaining stabilized in Adoria throughout the 2021 European Energy Crisis. The Baron Cabinet would respond with the Mine Nationalisation and Performance Act 2021 which would have the national government purchase and oversee all mines in the nation, however this would narrowly fail 35-36. On October 26 2021, foreign businesses would finalize their evaluations of Adorian prospects and would present the Government with their offers:

* **BP** (United Kingdom) - The gas fields in Limni would be acquired for ₺6,500,000,000 with workers mostly being sourced from Adoria
* **Eni** (Italy) - The gas fields in Limni would be acquired for ₺7,800,000,000 with workers being brought in from Italy to staff their facilitates. A pipeline between Italy and Limni would be constructed by Eni to transfer the gas straight to their power plants in Italy.
* **Gazprom** (Russia) - The gas fields in both Limni and Lavanda would be acquired for ₺14,700,000,000 with workers being sourced from a mix of Adoria and skilled personnel from Russia.

BP and Eni would deem Lavanda fields as too hazardous and combustible to invest in, however Gazprom would overlook this issue in their proposal. All 3 companies would await an answer from the Government, which would take no action.

### Tomi V. Ferola

On 11 October 2021, Health Minister Valeryon would establish the Ador City State Lab via Executive order, as an independent scientific institution. Dr. Tomi claiming himself the child of the deceased Riccardo Ferola would request a blood paternity test, of which Riccardo's widow, Svetlana N. Sidorova, would consent to the blood sample being taken from Riccardo's grave. On 15 October 2021, the results would come back **positive** with Tomi being the son of Riccardo Ferola and an unknown woman.

With this, Tomi would sue Svetlana for his father's fortune and clubhouse, *Ferola Fortress.* On 21 October 2021, the trial would begin with Tomi dropping bombshell evidence of the deceased Riccardo Ferola being a Sexual Maniac and a rapist with testamentary incapacity. As Riccardo was mentally unstable under international law, his Will leaving his estate and fortune to Svetlana would be null and void. A swift verdict would soon be issued by Head Judge RMSteve ruling in favor of **Svetlana** as international law does not apply to Adorian property disputes and evidence of Riccardo's mental state was insufficient to declare him legally insane, thirdly the NA does not have any law on inheritance; with all this Svetlana would keep their husband's fortune and Ferola Fortress. 2 days later Dr. Tomi and Svetlana would land in court again after Dr. Tomi would spread slander of Svetlana having murdered Riccardo, Meow Zedong, Cookie, Bert, and Benway. The High Court would issue another swift verdict the same day finding Tomi **guilty** of criminal defamation and ordering him to pay a fine of ₺1,000 Adorian Lira and to serve 100 hours of Community Service.

## Results

Results for this general election and 26th Presidential Election were released on 02 November 2021. The Newly formed separatist parties, Lavandi Independence Party and Elliniko Laiko Komma would stand for the first time, this would mark the first time 2 different regionalist parties existed at once. Turnout would be **23.62%** with a dice roll of **AES**. The Election Commission would veto Law 522 and keep the 85-seat standard.

## Government Formation

With results announced SDP would see it as a defeat following an inactive premiership and would vote to go into opposition. LDP would again form government with the LCP, together holding a slight majority of **50.59%** of seats. Following their massive landslide drop both NLF Co-Leaders Lich and Shennogo would resign appointing Karl Schmidt and LastCelebration as their replacements.
