65th Adorian Election

←64th - 11th of December 2021 - 66th*→*

## Electoral System

The National Assembly elects all of her 85 seats in a Simulated/Popular Vote Lottery in which the election system for the term is decided via dice roll. As a Simulated Vote was rolled in the previous election in which the odds were 50% AES - 50% Popular, the odds of this election were an additional +25% to the losing choice for odds of **25% AES to 75% 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 1/85th (1.18%) of the Popular Vote.

## Background

### Lavanda-Synaro Bridge Repairs

The Lavanda-Synaro Bridge formally the Lavanda-Aklanos Bridge, was destroyed by an explosion 2 terms ago. Repairs to the lifeline of central Adoria have been neglected until the SoleSol led government. SoleSol authored a bill in the 63rd National Assembly to start repairs, which passed unanimously, but the sitting government did not follow through with the law. Now Prime Minister, Sole made an executive order on the 2nd of December 2021 to hire Orion Construction to do the repairs, this was viewed negatively by some since the company was owned by former president and LDP member, Daniel.

Based Autocrat an editor at The Righteous Adorian reported this with the headline *"New Government gives Lavanda-Synaro Bridge Repairment Contract to its Political Allies"*, as the article stated how the contract was going to someone who was in the same political party as the Prime Minister and no contest was held for the contract. Both Daniel and Sole refuted the claims made by Autocrat, with Daniel stating that his company had nothing to do with politics as he have been doing contracts for the government regardless of who was in charge, and before his time in LDP, Prime Minister Sole made it known that Orion Construction was the only active construction company at that time so no contest was held.

However, this would prove to be illegal as all public contracts must have a contest as stated by the Fairness in Public Procurement Act. The law was an archaic one and little to no one knew about it. The Prime Minister quickly reversed his EO and opened a contest for companies to submit an offer, this contest was opened for 24 hours. On 4 December 2021 the contest ended with Orion Construction re-rewarded the contract, this was still unpopular with some as Based Autocrat sued the government over it, the trial is yet to start. Orion Construction remained out of the politics and finished the repairs a few days later, with the Governors for both Synaro and Lavanda congratulating the company.

### Ferola V. Tomi

Tomi da Silva and Svetlana Ferola met in court yet again, with Svetlana suing Tomi for criminal defamation, according to Svetlana, Tomi called her a murderer and claimed she murdered her husband who is also Tomi's biological father, Riccardo Ferola. Tomi pleaded guilty to the charge and Head Judge LastCelebration ended proceedings then asked Judge Jamie and Judge Yannick for a punishment. Judge Jamie suggested a shocking 0 years, with Judge Yannick strongly disagreeing and suggested 2 months imprisonment and 150 hours of community service, Head Judge LastCelebration decided to do a die throw to choose a punishment, and the die fell in favor of Judge Jamie's suggestion. The court made a **guilty** verdict, but with zero hours of community service and no fines. This was seen as absurd as many politicians call the verdict a disgrace and a failure of the criminal justice system. Svetlana appealed the decision in the Supreme Court, where the case was won by her. The Supreme Court found Tomi **guilty** and convicted him to four months in prison with a fine of ₺1000 and 100 hours of community service.

### Language Education Issues

The National Assembly passed The Adorian Language Education Act on 20 November 2021 in the 63rd National Assembly, the law states that the official Adorian languages taught in schools starting at year 6 were Greek, Italian & Lavandi, neglecting the majority language Adorian and the regional languages of Arabic and Turkish. This was a point of frustration as teachers and parents across Adoria were not pleased that their children were prohibited from learning their majority or their local languages in schools.

Schools wrote to the Minister of Education to adjust the bill to add Adorian and the other local languages, and the teachers union claims that the bill limits the employment opportunities for teachers of Adorian, as well as teachers of Arabic and Turkish in minority areas.

The Linguistic School Autonomy Act passed on 8 December 2021, fixing the issues by allowing schools to freely teach in the language they think is best for them.

### Mass Immigration

On 6 December 2021, 2 new parties were formed, both libertarian, the Adorian Libertarian Party, and the Association of Consumers and Taxpayers, ACT. Unlike the Libertarian Party, ACT was formed in Adoria after political instability in the pacific island nation, Zealandia. ACT members came in droves from Zealandia as political migrants.

The Adorian political establishment has always been hostile to fringe, radical, or libertarian groups, as both ACT and ALP were given negative comments by almost all parties. ACT got the most of the hatred as the party aided the political migrants for its interests. The establishment made its opinion on the mass immigration known as multiple politicians compared it to the AWP style invasions.

Lavandis was the most outraged as the bulk of these migrants settled on the islands. Due to the concentration of ACT members in Lavanda and the overall negative sentiments towards the party, a cordon sanitaire was launched by Yannick against the ACT. 3 parties and multiple other individuals signed to the sanitaire, this includes the Liberal Democratic Party, Social Democratic Party and Labour-Conservative Party. The Adorian Conservative Union originaly signed to the sanitaire but for unknown reason unsigned it.

In an interview with The Central Post, ACT party leader Jeon Yeo-Bin, was asked about her opinions on the hostility toward the mass migration, she answered: "It is rather disturbing that there is such strong nativist sentiments in a country that is predominantly left wing, and it says a lot about how much they hate, fear and know very little of the world outside of Adoria."

ACT's membership reached 50 on its first day and doubled overnight due to the migrations.

### Lux Backstab

Former governor of the Lavanda Islands, Lux Jefferson came back to Adorias political scene close to the gubernatorial elections. Lux saw the ACT's massive numbers in Lavanda and joined the party to run under the it's name. Lux won comfortably in a 2 round race beating the incumbent, Arjona. about 7 hours after getting elected, Lux made a stunning revelation, he announced that he had joined ACT only to be a candidate for them as to cheat them into voting for him, as he wanted Arjona to remain governor. This shocked everyone and he was banned by the party.

>
> Well, it appears that I have once again been elected as Governor! I would to preface what will happen next with a quick story: About a week ago, I noticed that a shit ton of people had joined the server as independents and had joined my state of Lavanda. I feared the worst, that Adoria was being botted, but I quickly found out it was something much worse: Libertarians. I think Libertarians are some of the most annoying, stupid, gross people out there. And seeing how there were 50 something of them in Lavanda (I don’t know I didn’t count) I knew that Lavanda’s politics were gonna be changed forever, which made me simply depressed. I knew that they were going to run a candidate against Arjona, who had been a great Governor for us, and I knew that they were going to win, and Lavanda would be in the grasp of the Libertarians. But I remembered the old saying “If you can’t beat them, join them.” And I decided, why not do both? This may explain my first two, and only, actions as Governor. Firstly, I’d like to appoint @Matthew ^ (big nose version) as my Lieutenant Governor, and secondly, I would like to announce my resignation as Governor thus making @Matthew ^ (big nose version) the Governor of Lavanda for the next three weeks. The ACT was so fucking stupid that when I joined their party asking for them to support me as Governor, they decided to go along with it. Yes, me, a literal socialist, long-term friend of Big Ben (Lt.) and Arjona (Gov.) They could’ve thrown their support behind anyone else and avoided this, but here we are. I’d like to say that Arjona had no idea that this was happening and found out at the same time as everyone else here is, he is completely innocent. I know Arjona is going to be a great Governor as he has been before. I’m far too busy to actually be Governor myself, and I know that Arjona is going to do a great job. Three more things before I go. 1. We do a little bit of trolling 2. Fuck Libertarians and the ACT 3. Long Live Lavanda!
