## Background

The 50th general election was the 10th general election held in 2021 it also marked 50 general elections in Adoria.

#### ERM Withdrawl

On April 28th, 2021, Finance Minister Bert would issue an executive order withdrawling Adoria from the Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM) untieing the Adorian Lira from the Euro. The Ador City Stock Exchange was thus set as the Official Forex Exchange Center of the Lira. One week later the effects would start coming in and Adoria would witness a Construction boom. With the drop in Parity companies both international and adorian would begin seeing large profits. The lax regulations and low land values would see a spike in Home Sells and Real Estate as houses became more affordable.

#### Fort Patton

On May 11th, 2021, The Natonal Defence Referendum would go live. This referendum was called by VP Frederick and later called by President Maple due to legal issues with Frederick's EO. Results would be announced the next day. Presented with 2 questions. One on joining Nato, and another on taking back Fort Patton, Both would pass. On May 13th, 2021, Russian Cyber forces would report increased anonymous cyberactivity on the Adorian Telecom network. Investigating further the Russians were able to identify much of the activity from originating from Washington, DC. The United States would deny any claims made by the Russians and reminded the Adorian Government that it was the Russians with a history of election meddling. The US would also confirm that it had no intention on leaving Fort Patton and would then proceed to move Task Force 61 & 64, the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower and it’s support ships to the fort and began conducting training exercises with the support of the USS DDE. The training exercises were done together with the Italians. Seeing the planned exercise Russia would respond by sending the 30th Surface Brigade fleet near but outside Adorian waters. It would be confirmed that the the Referendum results themselves were not compromised. Defence Minister Auber would resign later in the day and RonaldRaygun would be appointed his successor.

On May 14th, 2021, Fmr. Defence Minister Auber attempted to raid Fort Patton but would quickly be apprehended but later freed. Auber would quickly return and make his way up to the base's gate with homemade anti vehicle mines and attacked a patrol. Injuring 2 and killing 1 Auber would then be killed himself. A tribal dance in Ador City would be held to celebrate Auber's life which would even be attended by President MapleSpace. A motion would be proposed by MNA Ferola to hold a State Funeral for Auber, however this proposal would fail.

#### Impeachment of Frederick Gyldenløve

On May 9th, 2021, Vice President Frederick Gyldenløve would issue an executive order calling for a National Referendum on Fort Patton and NATO. However many members of the ruling coalition were not consulted. The referendum drew some criticism as the Vice President did not have the power to do executive orders, and only the President could do Executive Orders on having a Referendum however VP Frederick would quickly gain President MapleSpace's signature granting the EO legal premise. Frederick would then attend a Press Conference where he discussed the Referendum and how the Government would approach possible outcomes of the 2 Referendum questions.

Due to the situation The United States would move 3,000 men from Naples to Fort Patton to assert their authority over the base. Defence Minister Auber would take much alarm to this and raise Limni Units to an elevated Alert Level and also deploy an additional patrol unit to Limni. Air Chief Mikoyan and Army Commander Ferola would speak in support of Auber's actions. VP Frederick would soon issue another EO signed by both President MapleSpace and Prime Minister Cambit undoing Auber's actions and decreasing the MoD's powers by requiring the PM or President's signature for MoD EOs and Military equipment purchases.

The next day however Bert would present an Impeachment Inquiry to the National Assembly for enacting 2 illegal EOs in an Abuse of Authority and Misconduct of public trust. Recieving over 2/3rds in favor Frederick would officially be Impeached on May 11th, 2021. Chief Justice Cameron would appoint Bert as Special Counsel for Prosecution. Galtright and HeyIt’sJoe™ would quickly join Prosecution. On May 13th, 2021, The Trial would begin with the Justices deliberating into the next day. Chief Justice Cameron and Justices Gvizdod and LastCelebration would eventually find Frederick **guilty** on both articles and 4 weeks barred from Public Office. Since Justice Galtright served as Prosecution he did not vote in the Trial, Justice Reeves would vote not guilty on both charges.

#### Resignation of President MapleSpace

On May 15th, 2021, President MapleSpace would sign the Save the trees and all the bees Act into power laying out a 10-year plan on banning technology and transitioning Adoria into an Anarchoprimitivist state. Chief Justice Cameron would quickly declare the EO as unconstitutional. As Maple had been declared the winner of the 13th Maritania Gubernatorial Election he would then use the occassion to resign the Presidency to take the Governorship as he could not hold both offices simultaneously and did not want to get sued for his Meme EO. As the Vice President was impeached and removed just yesterday the Presidency then transfered to NA Speaker BasedAutocrat. Based would then serve as President until Jose Montiel was sworn in for his 2nd term on May 18th, 2021.
