# Press & Freedom of Speech

Despite being a Nationalist country the Hellenic ascendancy offers the privilege to have a voice, freedom of speech is allowed, you're allowed to give your opinion about the government but it must be kept at a moderate level, if the privilege of freedom of speech is abused it may lead to an arrest by the S.S.G (State Security of Greece) abusing this privilege will not lead to an execution nor physical punishments but it will lead to a penalty and possible repudiation of specific rights.

The State has its own press, yet there are other press companies present, they are allowed to put both bad and good news regarding any event this also includes the government, yet like freedom of speech it must be kept at a moderate level.

# Elections

The Hellenic Ascendancy only has elections to select the Head of the Government, the elections will occur every 4 years. Every Greek citizen has the right to elect the Head of the Government, but it must be a candidate of the ruling party. Elections for the Head of State will only take place if the ruling party deems necessary, e.g. The ruling party decides to change the Head of State due to the fact that he is not apt to govern, therefore elections will occur but like before it must be a candidate of the ruling party, three or more candidates will be present and the citizens have the right to vote for one of those candidates.
