Czechoslovak Imperium

A country on the server, controlled by Lukepiwalker31.

The Czechoslovak Imperium, officially Československé Impérium in Czech, also known as the Empire of Czechoslovakia, encompasses all of the Czech Republic, Slovakia, parts of Poland and Germany, and Southern Slovakia. It had a colony/mining base in Tobruk, Libya that has now changed into a Dominion, The Dominion of Libya.

In general, Czechoslovak politics are skewed right wing and authoritarian, due to its military and forin policy.

## Political system

The political system of Czechoslovakia is fairly cumbersome and traditional. Each administrative region gets at least 2 seats in the Parlamentu České. The rest are distributed by population, with every 30 people gaining an extra seat. The king possesses the power to dissolve parliament at any time, and has some veto powers.

Social Democratic party: A fairly old party, rebranded from its communist roots. It is supported by industrial workers and the working class. It promotes both progressivism and spending. It is the current ruling party.

Conservative party: The newest of the three parties, formed from the German minority rejecting radical change promoted by the Liberals. They have since spread to include Czechs and Slovaks, at the expense of their German base. They embrace high spending, but reject social change.

Liberal party: The oldest party of the three, formed as the country was liberated. It is well known for promoting social change and supporting federalism.

Alternative for Czechoslovakia: A new party, focused on ultranationalist Czechoslovak sentiment left over from the independence struggle and the confrontations with Illyria. It is widely considered to be Fascist in nature, supporting ethnic cleansing, rejection of elections, and turning the Monarchy into a puppet.

### After 12/8/22

The Alternative for Czechoslovakia: A fascist party that has since moderated somewhat to become more of a hard right conservative party, aiming to weather the current storm of Geopolitics through government control

The Social Democratic Party: A Social democratic to socialist party and the oldest party on this ticket, who believes that the government should not control people but should control industries for the people.

The Liberal-Conservative Party: A merger of the Conservative and Liberal parties into one was unexpected by most, but it made sense once the Fascist government made them both have the same policies. It is a Centre-right party that supports Libertarian ideas.

The Workers Party: An offshoot of the SDP during the Fascist government, it is hard left and communist, supporting a Soviet style government.

The Left: Another offshoot of the SDP, it follows a very liberal and left wing ideology, similar to anarcho-syndicalism.

The Liberal/Libertarian Party: The remains of the liberal party, committed to staying centrist and liberal.

The Green Party: A party focused on reducing pollution and carbon emissions, as well as reducing mining in Czechia and planting more trees

The Anarcho-capitalist Party: A party who wants to remove the state and have everyone fend for themselves

After the Fascist Government stepped down, the King(now Emperor) did not get any of his powers back. Instead, they defaulted back to the legislature that now elects an Executive prime minister, who has now most of those powers. The Parliament is now also elected via PR, so the archaic rules regarding areas for voting no longer apply

### History of elections since 12/8/22

#### 13/8/22

AfC: 32.5%

SDP 32.5%

LCP: 15%

Workers': 7.5%

Left: 7.5%

Liberal: 5%

The left wing parties tried to form a coalition, but the left and workers' parties couldn't thrash out a deal. However, the right wing coalition was significantly weakened in their position by the Liberal party, who was the kingmaker in this election, and thus there will not be too much Fascism.

This coalition promptly fell apart.

#### 14/08/22

This time, the left wing got its stuff together and managed to form a coalition between the SDP, the Left party and the Greens. They agree on most policy points, but the Left managed to persuade the rest to be more liberal, and the greens that the rest be more eco-friendly.

SDP: 30%

AfC: 20%

Green: 12.5%

Left: 12.5%

LCP: 10%

Liberal: 10%

ACP: 2.5%

Workers': 2.5%

Total Coalition: 55

## Road to Fascism

After the AfC was elected, it was clear to the world that the Imperium, at that stage the nation with the largest military on the server, was heading towards Autocracy. The AfC passed a number of bills, with the help of the conservatives.

**The Act of Security of Person and State**

* Full executive powers in the prime minister
* Banned opposition
* Removed the Czechoslovak Constitution
* Gave Parliament full powers to change any laws
* Removed the powers of the Imperator

**The Military Equipment and Service Act**

* Conscription
* Made it law to support the military
* Gave the military complete authority to do anything, so long as the PM ordered it

These laws were repealed on 12/08/22
