←76th - 27th of May 2022 - 78th→

## Electoral System

*Further information:* AES explanatory doc*,* PMA explanatory doc

The National Assembly elects all of her 85 seats in a Simulated/Popular Vote Lottery in which the election system uses a 4:1 ratio of AES to Popular Vote. This election will use AES with the next 3 also utilizing 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. Independent Candidates function outside of the AES and only require 1/85th (1.18%) of the Popular Vote.

As the previous election utilized popular vote, all bills and announcements of both the 75th and 76th government terms are used to calculate the 72nd election results. This is to ensure that all bills and actions have weight.

## Background

On May 16th 2022, the 76th Government would be formed between the SDP and LD securing Bossman another term as PM at the price of agreeing to the LD's demand to not pursue any centralist policies.

### European Union II

Besides the SDP, interest in joining the EU would continue. KAB Leader King Adoria would propose the *Eurofood Standards Act* moving the nation in line with the European Food Safety Authority. SDP Leader Bossman would propose the *EBU Joining Act* applying to the European Broadcasting Union under the provision of not participating in Eurovision. Both eurocentric bills would pass on May 17th 2022.

### People's Movement II

On May 19th 2022, the KAB would propose their *USAID Application Act* which would seem to pass with almost 95% in favor. However 33 downvotes would appear last minute from the People's Movement for Action, failing the bill. This would make it the first and only bill to fail due to the PMA. Regardless of this, on May 24th 2022, ARP's Sinpar (using a LIM seat) would propose his *Expanded Mediterranean Relations and Prosperity Act*, this version would be a revised version of the very same he had proposed last term this time leaving out recognition of Somaliland. It would pass the next day officially applying for USAID.

### Natural Gas Extraction II

Now that the SDP had passed their *Adorian Fossil Fuels Corporation Act* in the 75th term, they would now put it to use with the *Opening Up Adoria for Oil Act*. This proposal by PM Bossman would open up the oil-rich Outer Islands (not to be confused with the Lavanda Islands) to this private enterprise would be allowed under the regulation of a proposed Adorian Fossil Regulator (AFR) along with requiring any contractor to pay a 22.5% royalty payment per barrel to the Federal Government. ₺830 million would be allotted to resettle and ensure the wellbeing of anyone in the Outer Islands. This proposal however would soon trigger heavy opposition.

### Lavanda Oil

With the resignation of Lavanda Governor Bot.org, Lt. Governor Bjorn would be elevated to the Governorship, he would soon resign 2 days later making LIM Leader Shennogo the newest Governor. On May 16th 2022, the SDP would propose their *Opening Up Adoria for Oil Act* which the LIM would take strong opposition to. The next day Shen would quickly hold a referendum in the Lavanda Islands on the matter as they were the only ones who would have to bear the ramifications of the SDP's proposal. Despite efforts by LIM, KAB, ARP, the *Opening Up Adoria for Oil Act* would narrowly pass. On May 18th 2022, Lavanda's referendum would conclude with **64.71%** opposed to the oil extraction efforts.

On May 20th 2022, the Lavanda Islands would pass the *Lavanda oil act*, a law authorizing the Lavanda Government to extract oil in the Outer Islands while appropriating 7.5% of the profits to the affected populations. As this law heavily contradicted national legislation, DPM POGfish would propose an overruling of it the next day. Such an overruling by the NA would require a 3/5ths vote to override State legislation. On May 22nd 2022, the bill would fail thanks to a united opposition of LIM, KAB, and ARP preventing the bill from reaching 3/5ths with only **55.74%** in favor.

LIM MNA 42streetroad would announce that the time for peaceful protest and diplomatic negotiation was over as they have proved fruitless against the SDP government. He would call for revolution, a bullet in PM Bossman's head, and for the homes of SDP members to be raided. Not for Lavandi independence but for Lavanda to conquer all of Adoria. Chief Justice Zedong would quickly issue a warrant of arrest for 42streetroad for conspiracy against the state, treason, sedition, and conspiracy to commit murder. LIM Leader Shennogo would express shock over 42streetroad's statement and that LIM leadership had voted to expel him from the party, and remove his MNA seat. LIM would declare they aimed to achieve independence in a peaceful and democratic way without violence.

Though the *Overruling of the "Lavanda Oil Act"* had failed, Chief Justice Zedong would soon convene the Supreme Court to deliberate the matter of jurisdiction and the matter of law confliction. The court would reach the verdict that provincial laws can only take precedence over federal legislation if they were passed before whatever they conflict with. This decision would effectively nullify the *Lavanda oil act*.

The next day 42streetroad would be released from prison after 24 hours as the Adorian Government did not take interest in prosecuting the charges. He would defect to the ARP.

On May 25th 2022, in an attempt to finally compromise a resolution to Lavanda having oil extraction on their land against their popular interest, President Reeves would sign Lavanda Governor Shennogo's *Lavanda-Adoria Oil Company* proposal. The bill would call for a new oil company owned 45% by the feds, 45% by Lavanda, and 10% by private holders; the feds would get 65% of profits while the Lavanda government received 35%. The bill would fail with the SDP taking a hardline stance against it while support from the ARP and KAB was mixed and divided. President Reeves would soon issue a statement criticizing the nation for its failure to compromise. Ironically both Shennogo and Bossman would support this statement.

### Lavanda V. Bank of Adoria

On May 22nd 2022, the Governors of all 4 provinces would propose flag bills in unison requiring all government buildings in their respective province to fly the Provincial flag twice as big and above the national flag. The next day the bills all passed in Libeccio, Lavanda, and Synaro. Mediterraneo Governor Mahfety would withdraw the bill in his province before passing. Bank Chairman Soy Trap would announce that the Central Bank of Adoria would not be complying with local flag regulations considering the wave of autonomy ''frightening''. Lavanda District Governor Havee would announce that he must comply with the laws of his province and that the Second Provincial Bank would be complying with the Lavanda Flag Act. Bank Chairman Soy Trap would swiftly announce the suspension of the provincial bank of Lavanda. He would unsuspend the district bank 7 hours later.

On May 24th 2022, the Lavanda Government, *represented by Governor Shennogo*, would sue the Central Bank for violating Lavanda's flag act. The next day, as the matter wasn't simply a provincial law violation but played into jurisdiction and authority confliction, Chief Justice Zedong would issue a writ of prohibition relieving the High Court from the case, taking the matter directly to the Supreme Court. Bank Chairman Soy Trap would issue an EO establishing a ''Bank of Adoria Police Department'' in order to protect the Bank and Lira. The EO would however be void as the Federal police were managed by the Prime Minister and Interior Minister, not the central bank. ARP's Sinpar (using a LIM seat) would propose his *Reel Em' In ACT* a bill that would cap national guards at 13% of the size of the Adorian Military and require the national flag to be flown higher than any provincial flag, the bill would fail.

The next day on May 26th 2022, Soy would re-issue the EO this time with the signature of PM Bossman. With this new power, the Bank Chairman's first action would be to suspend District 2's police department in order to ensure Lavanda's flag act wasn't being enforced.

With the Supreme Court convening deliberation would begin. The Central Bank would argue that the constitution strictly limited banking to the federal government and as such the federal government has since established the Central Bank as controlling monetary policy independent of politics which brought a certain self-sovereignty with it. Governor Shennogo would argue that the Central Bank was in blatant violation of the law and compare Soy Trap's new police department to Adolf Hitler. On May 28th 2022, The court would issue their verdict in favor of the Lavanda Islands declaring their flag act as constitutional and the Central Bank in violation. Bank Chairman Soy Trap would announce that the Central bank would be complying with the court's decision.

## Results

The election would go live on May 27th 2022, concurrent with the 33rd Presidential Election with both ending the next day after 24 hours.

36.67% of the bills presented in the 76th Assembly belonged to the SDP, compared to 33.33% by the KAB. As the previous election utilized the popular vote all bills and actions taken by parties in the 76th term would also count towards this election. In which 56.25% of bills were presented by the SDP and 34.28% by the KAB.

After 25 hours of waiting, results would be released on May 29th 2022 to a turnout of **16.85%**. SDP's landslide would be attributed to groundbreaking EU integration measures and a soaring economy. At the time of election the Lira exchanged ₺4.10 to 1 euro.

## Government Formation

On May 30th 2022, newly inaugurated President King Adoria would swear in the 77th Government, an SDP majority government. This would mark the 5th Mandate Government formed by SDP Leader Bossman, tieing him with SDP Leader Matthew V.
