51st Adorian Election

←50th - 29th of May 2021 - 52nd*→*

## Election System

The National Assembly elected all of her 85 seats in a simulated election process known as the 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.

## Background

On May 26th, 2021, The White Boy Summer Act would be passed temporarily suspending parts of the Constitution that required the National Assembly to be elected to two-week terms so that the 51st National Assembly was the first three-week parliament since the 12th Parliament in December 2019. With a Three-week legislative term on the line, the 51st general election had high stakes on the line.

#### Maritania Crisis

On May 15th, 2021, President MapleSpace would resign and assume the Maritania Governorship. His last action as President was a Meme EO that laid out a 10-year plan on banning technology in Adoria. However, Maple's Anarcho-primitivist antics were not at an end. On May 16th, 2021, Maritania would pass the Save the trees EO as a State Law. Repercussions would be felt in less than 24 hours. Maritania would collapse until societal collapse as can openers, cell phones and virtually any technology began to be hoarded Grocery stores would begin to run of supplies with the streets descending into mass protests and riots. As the Electronics and heavy industries sectors in Maritania began to collapse in stock maybe companies not even technology-related began to suspend operations including Adoria Downtown Cab Co., AFG Capital, Hermes’ Travels, Royal Shipyard Corporation, Eastern Limited, Lunar Eclipse, Montiel Clothes, Adoria United, Astriol, Forsythe Wine Estate, Axis Corp., LSMC, Adoria Telecom, some permanently and others temporarily. Finance Minister Bert would freeze Maritania's State Budget and Infrastructure Minister MarcZucc would provide 50M lira for military intervention. Prime Minister CAMBIT declared a period of crisis in Maritania and motioned for military intervention however President Based Autocrat would refuse instead Interior Minister 73 would mobilize the Federal police and riot police into Maritania. Maritania would pass an amendment to their technology ban clarifying that firearms would remain legalized and that technology would be relegalized but its usage and sale would remain illegal. On May 19th, 2021, the Technology ban would be repealed in its entirety.

Industry Minister Daniel would enact the Maritania Business Grants and Loans Act which allocated ₺100,000,000 for loans and grants to companies and small businesses in Maritania however only a few small-scale farms would accept. Riots and looting would persist with riot police attempting to control the situation. Migrants from Syria, Libya, Egypt and, other Arabic countries would exploit the situation and illegally immigrate into Maritania. As stability and confidence continued to stay low many ''Maritania refugees'' would begin to emigrate to the neighboring states of Aklanos and Synaro. On May 24th, 2021, Governor MapleSpace would resign. The New Governor Calamar would keep Maple around as Lieutenant Governor. On May 25th, 2021, Prime Minister lichy would mobilize the armed forces and send 1,000 soldiers into Maritania to distribute food. The State Bank of Polli Costa would announce that the interest rate in Maritania would be cut down to 2% for 5 months in comparison to the National 3% interest rate. 20,000,000 ARL would also be pulled from the BOA trust fund to be spent by Bank Governor Daniel Index as deemed fit. Interior Minister AXKM would declare **martial law** in Maritania and a 12-hour curfew at night between 18:00 to 6:00 those caught would be fined ₺100 and that illegal immigrants would be deported. Grand Admiral Sim V would coordinate the Navy for the deportations placing migrants into internment camps for standby.

On May 27th, 2021, Governor Calamar would pass a program funding businesses and families to get them back on their feet and Bank Chairman Soy\_Trap would restore Maritania to the National interest rate as the situation calmed down. Finance Minister lichy would begin issuing federal loans of up to ₺40,000 per person to the residents of Maritania. Recipients in poverty were not required to pay back the loans. The next day Governor Calamar would pass police reform with ₺1,000,000 being spent on the State Police Department to fund better equipment and the creation of the Maritanian Chorofylakí to serve as a specialized crime unit and for high crimes. Industry Minister Daniel would begin issuing ₺500,000,000 in loans and grants for small businesses and companies to Maritania and Synaro and an additional ₺100,000,000 going to Aklanos.

On May 29th, 2021, the situation stabilized and the bleak picture began to become clear with at least 190 banks in Maritania declaring bankruptcy and the State as a whole racking up 4B USD in bankruptcies, The ERM Withdrawl construction boom had been brought to a screeching end. Investor and consumer confidence in Maritania had been irreparably damaged and many would begin to opt-out of Adoria as a whole in exchange for safer ventures and funds abroad. The 40,000 Lira per person plan would be a failure with many refusing to take the loans. Unemployment and crime would begin to see a rise in Synaro and Aklanos. Maritania's brief separate interest rates would be viewed with hindsight as only furthering the decline in Financial confidence.

#### YouCare

On May 22nd, 2021, The YouCare Act would be proposed as a replacement for the taxpayer-heavy AdoriCare. YouCare aimed to remove such things as Dental care and Eyecare. YouCare's first year budget would also be a whopping third of AdoriCare's First-year. YouCare would also relegalize for-profit private healthcare companies. YouCare's aims of relieving the average citizens' tax burden and creating a more medically independent nation freer from government control were taken by some as a front door for medical profiteering and austerity. The next day the vote would tie 39-39 and Vice President Bert would cast a tiebreak **against** YouCare. However, ANF Leader HeyIt'sJoe™ had replaced MNA NotBrott mid vote with Panzrr who would proceed to downvote when the esteemed notbrott had already voted in favor. Meaning that the ANF had double voted. In GaltRight v. HeyIt'sJoe™ the Supreme Court would hear both sides and on May 24th, 2021, Chief Justice Cameron would announce that an MNA replacement can only vote on bills posted after they got their seat and that Panzrr's downvote was unconstitutional meaning that YouCare had **passed** 39-38.

Following YouCare's passage as Law 328, AdoriCare's old founder and SDP Deputy Bossmansoldier would propose the YouCare Amendment which would rename YouCare to the National Health Insurance and restore EyeCare and Dental care along with massively increasing the NHI's budget but still only half of AdoriCare's. Next, the Opposition would pass the Abortion Regulations Act allowing abortion for the first 24 weeks of pregnancy, a decrease from the 29-week limit. Thirdly the AdoriFund for Kids Act would be passed establishing a Trust fund for the nation's children.

#### Government Collapse

On May 25th, 2021, the Conservative Party would formally apologize for supporting YouCare. This would lead Finance Minister Big Ben and Prime Minister Lichy to resign. With such hostility in the coalition, the CPA would pull out, followed by SoL and then the ACU. The Capitalist Party would however remain. Deputy Prime Minister Fran would assume the premiership. Other Ministers would also resign or be fired with only Justice Minister SeccySnek, Defence Minister AlexHasDiscord, and Education Minister Based Autocrat surving the Cabinet reshuffle. A Vote of No Confidence would be proposed but would fail. Making the FranCo Adoria's First proper National Unity Government. In comparison to the 32nd and 33rd Governments, the FranCo would differ as it held Parliamentary Confidence as a mandate instead of just Presidential confidence.

## Results

The election would go live on May 29th, 2021, and end the next day following a 33-hour wait results would be announced on June 1st, 2021. With **154** votes recorded the 51st general election would see a turnout of **27.60%**.

## Government Formation

With results announced on June 1st, 2021, a Government would form surprisingly quickly with only 12 hours after the results announcement a LeftCo of SDP, AWF, BA and LU would form with **42.20%** of the popular vote.
