7th National Government: 1911 - 1920

The 7th (and last) National Government was formed on the 23rd of August 1911 and dissolved on the 24th of March 1920. The 7th National Government was led by Derek Cauron from 1911 to 1919 and then by Hans Anteloff from 1919 to 1920. The National Party, led by Derek Cauron, won the 1911 Parliamentary Election due to acts such as: the Termination of Life Act 1908 and the Divorces Act 1908 that largely upset conservative and moderate voters. The National party went on to win the largest one-party majority government in Eukon history in the 1911 Parliamentary Election giving Socialists and leftists the fear that a Socialist government may not return. After the First World War broke out, many in the country wanted to see elections and so the government organized elections to take place in late Autumn/early Winter 1914 but ended up choosing January 1915. The 1915 Parliamentary Election led to a success for the National Government but their majority was reduced. After the end of the First World War on the 11th of November 1918, the government called a post-war election in late November 1918. The election led to a tiresome population trying to push the National Party out, leaving the National Party with a minority of seat. This meant that the Nationals had to form a coalition or attempt to live off of a minority and after some negotiations they formed a coalition with the Centre Party. The government didn't last long when the Centre Party called a vote of no confidence in the government and the Moderate Party, Socialist Labor Party, and Socialist Party backed that vote of no confidence, forcing an election to be called in 1920. The election was pretty close but ended up being in favor of the Socialist Party, with leader of the Socialist Party, Klaus Schwerner, forming the 4th Socialist Government in March 1920, kicking the National Party out of government.

## Changes

The National Party held a one-party majority from 1911 to 1918, allowing them to reverse policies that the Socialist Party implemented in their previous government which was something they failed to do in the 6th National Government. The Nationals eyed up the Termination of Life Act 1908 which they wanted to reverse, calling abortions "a sin." Here are some of the policies passed by the 7th National Government:

* Protection of Unborn Humans Act 1912 reversed the Termination of Life Act 1908 which allowed abortions in the country if the women had been raped.
* Railway Workers' Hours Act 1914 lowered the hours that railway workers worked for down to 10 hours.
* Taxation of drugs Act 1915 taxed importation and production of coca, opiates, and opium in an effort to end drug use.
* Protection of Eukon Act 1916 entered Eukon into the First World War on the side of the Allies.
* Conscription Act 1916 required that all conscripts are sent to war (those aged 16 or over, with exceptions to important jobs).
* Business With the Enemy Act 1916 banned all trade and business between Eukon and enemy nations.
* Immigration Act 1917 banned anybody from entering the country for the time being.
* Extension of Military Service Act 1918 extended military service once you reach 16 or over to 2 years.
* Reorganization of Business Act 1919 allowed trade between previous "enemy countries."
* Establishment of the 4th Republic of Eukon Act 1919 established the 4th Republic of Eukon
* Opium Act 1919 banned opium from entering the country.
* Dangerous Drugs Act 1919 banned Ecgonine, morphine, cocaine, and heroin from being imported, exported, created, and sold in the country.
