Candidates Running Vice Chancellor ​





--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ​

​

The screen shows the EPP poster below ​

​

"People of the Republic, I am the Chairman of The Economic Prosperity Party, David Dotson. I am back again to continue to look out for the economic wellbeing of our great republic. I will continue to lead the EPP and make sure our republic's future is well funded and taken care of. This is the start of a new century and the start of humanity truly reaching out into the starts. There has probably never been a more important election in our Republic's history. The men and women of this parliament will set the precedent for our goals out on the frontier. I would like to take a moment to share with all of the Republic on what this decade's goals of the EPP are." ​

​

The screen behind Dotson lights up to show a list of the EPP's Goals ​

​

"We of the EPP plan to focus on the expansion of the Republic out into the stars, not only to find more resources but in hopes of finding places for humanity to expand to with colonies. To assist parliament in finding capable scientist and admirals to explore and protect our new stars. Above all we of the EPP plan on keeping the Republic in the positive economically by making sure parliament does not spend more than it budget allows." ​

​

The screen then switches to the Vice Chancellor poster below ​

​

"Along with this announcement I would like to inform the people of Patria that I will be putting my name on the ballet in the upcoming election of Vice Chancellor. I hereby promise that whether elected Vice Chancellor or not, to watch over the spending in parliament and to make sure not one republic dollar is wasted. I look forward to another decade of helping our Republic prosper!" ​

​

Dotson and his fellow members leave to the wave of applause ​

The International Workers Union's Opening Advertisements

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



A Television Ad would begin to play, showing a young girl around the age of thirteen in a slum home.



Her three sisters and brothers of varying ages sit around her, playing and doing other tasks. She watches her mother, gazing out the window.





The Camera would pan to the window, watching a broken looking man around the age of thirty approach the door. He would open it and enter, his children rushing to his side with hugs and showing them pictures from the day.



He would try his best to smile, looking at his kids work with pride, yet his eyes would reveal his true feelings as he looked towards his wife, defeated, broken, and the two would go towards a room - notably the only other room besides the living room and restroom in the home - and the girl would be seen again, as the focus of the camera, listening to her father sob into her mother's arms. It would flash to later that day, and the girl's face was caked in makeup as she walked in revealing clothes towards a corner - presumably her night job to help her father and mother with her brothers and sisters.



A soothing voice would be heard, that of an older woman.





"Please, help our children. They deserve better than we, than anyone in our past, and yet, everyday, millions of children all over Patria must endure the same hardships, the same questions ringing in their heads.





"Will I eat?".





Guarantee that their parents maintain their jobs, that even when it comes to it they won't go hungry, or be forced into acts unspeakable. Vote today for the International Workers Union."





The Ad would fade to black, the Logo of the party being seen.

The Resurgence Leagues Platform

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The expression of honest convictions upon the great questions of public policy is vital to the health and preservation of representative government.



Such honest expression is the duty of all Patrian Citizens. We believe, it is a government’s role to facilitate and promote innovation, wherever it may be.



To achieve this, a nation must invest and incentivize education in math, science, and engineering as well as promote Research and Development. Strong technological advancements will stimulate Patria’s economy and increase the standard of living.



Research and science is in a variety of areas: colleges, government research institutions, public schools, and orbital research stations; Each area contributes innovation and growth of the nation, and requires better policies, if we wish to grow economically and to promote a better life. We believe that the policy of Militarism is hostile to liberty and tends toward Imperialism, and evil from which it has been our glory to be free. We are saddened that it is now necessary to reaffirm that all intelligent beings are entitled to their lives, their freedom, and their happiness.



We believe that the power of the government does still derive from the people it represents, but we believe that open hostility and aggression are direct attacks against the principles of representative government.





. We honor our veterans for their unquestioned bravery, and we mourn those who had to lay down their lives. Their duty was obedience to orders; our duty is inquiry and protest. Our militarist policies are what bring about sacrifices. We earnestly condemn the policy of Militarism. We protest the expansion of the Patrian Republic through imperialist and jingoist methods, and demand the immediate cessation of outward xenophobic hostility.



This is a war against liberty, begun by the empires of old, and we have yet to abandon it. We believe pride and glory to be an obstacle to the speedy settlement of difficulties. Our government should at once cease any plans to increase the size of the military, and instead focus solely on the development of Patria and her people. Peace has been what we have fought for. Do not forget the past.

The Agenda of The Resurgence League

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In a method of combating the rhetoric of old, the Resurgence League believes in the utmost transparency for the intentions and goals of a political party rather than vague promises. As such, we announce our agenda at the beginning of each election cycle for the concerned voter. Keep in mind, these are bills that have been both drafted and agreed upon by the party. There are still others planned upon, but are still in the beginning stages. We also support other issues, such as the cleaning of the Ohama Quarantine Zone, but due to near unanimous support we have decided to focus our attention on other issues. These bills are confirmed and drafted, and will be proposed unless another party proposes these bills first, an opposite manages to be past first, or we are convinced such an endeavor is unrealistic and detrimental to try and put into effect. While the former is joyful, the latter brings great lamentation, but we will try our best to oppose such bills. We do not expect for all of these bills to mass, merely a fraction, but we will do our best to see them pass, and your support will directly increase that chance.





2200-2205:



Act to Cement the Principles of the Republic

Since the founding of the Republic of Astora, people fought for equality. Equality of birth, specifically. People have fought for the end of aristocracy for over 1000 years. That was one of the ends of our struggle, in and of itself. Yet, this fair republic still recognizes the titles of aristocracy. This is an absolute betrayal of all of the past of our people. This must be rectified immediately, or it will be naught but an insult to the history of our great nation. As such, we propose to strip all noble titles of recognition by the state. Should this not pass this election cycle, we will propose it every single on hence.



Limitation of Unnecessary Fleet Expenses Act

With this act, we plan to create a new system to manage the fleet. Having our military fleet constantly ready for battle incurs great expenses for maintenance, which is unnecessary when no threats loom over the republic at this moment. As such, our new plan involves stripping components from these ships to reduce maintenance costs, and then reinstalling these components when the need arises. Expansion of the Efforts for Discovery and Exploration Act With this bill, we intend for the construction and outfitting of 2 new science ships. These are intended to be a fairly high priority construction. Space contains many secrets and insights to many different sciences. It is imperative that we study the secrets of space to advance our own understanding of the sciences. After all, while the League believes in militaristic peace, it is just as concerned, if not more, with the quality of life of Patria’s citizens. Science serves many functions, and drastically changes our life for the better.



Act to Construct the Unity Monument

Our planet has many nations, peoples, and cultures. We have struggled for unity, power, and control. Now we have achieved that. It is only right that we honor the many billions of people who have managed to get us so far to achieve a planetary unity. However, what we propose is far more than any simple monument. The Unity Monument, planned to be constructed in Bao to commemorate the many agreements signed there. The Unity Monument will be a large building, a massive monument befitting of its role. It will house places for many aspiring artists and creators to create new works of culture from across the world, all in one place. This construction will hopefully bring our nations closer together to one united entity. Pre-Sapient and Primitive Protection Accords This bill is simply preemptive. We know not what we will discover, or even if we will discover anything, but it is good to have a precedent so we know how to act upon discovering them. This bill proposes to create a precedent of observation and protection of both pre-sapients and primitives. Of course, pre-sapient regulation will be about giving the same endangered protocols we have in place for species born on Patria. However, for primitives, we are creating a precedent where passive observation is the only acceptable interaction with the species. They should be allowed to grow and mature as a society at their own pace, or be accelerated towards the stars for their own benefit. At no point should we abduct, harm, invade, or experiment upon these extraterrestrials should they be deemed sapient. Their differences end at their planet of origin, they are still people in any cognitive sense.



Metropolitan Welfare Act

Within metropolitan areas, there exist areas of extreme poverty and suffering. The homeless are many and their pain is great. This is a completely avoidable problem due to the wealth we have as a nation, and will deplete fairly small amounts of money compared to how large of a population lives in these areas of extreme poverty and suffering. This bill has an extremely high priority for our party, and we will do our best to make sure the people living in these areas can lead normal, fair lives by 2215 at the very latest.





2205-2210



New Policies of Technological Progression

Science is one of the defining features of our species. Knowledge is what differentiates us from the common animal. Science is what will allow us to build our society across the stars, and live lives with great abundance. We believe, that we are able to change some aspects of our society to focus more on this end. By changing policies which will ripple throughout the nation, we can increase our people’s ingenuity and innovation. This long set of accords will implement just that. (Choose technological ascendancy as the first ascension perk).



Food Supplement Act

We have a food surplus, but some of our people still remain hungry. This act works to give food out to people on a massive scale. This will not only help people live a less stressful, more secure life economically, but will also allow for poorer families to worry about other issues. This is extremely important to the improvement of economic security of our citizens. At the same time, research has shown that population growth is correlated with the accessibility of food, so we may also see a population growth increase. Nutritional Plentitude Policy The Nutritional Plentitude Policy will act in a somewhat similar way to the Food Supplement Act. However, the Nutritional Plentitude Policy will instead work from the view of the Companies, rather than an area implementation. This will have the result of affecting our entire society, even future offworld planets. It will also be a permanent change to regulation, rather than a temporary act, unlike the Food Supplement Act. This Policy will help subsidize and regulate food from companies, making them healthier and cheaper.





Consumer Benefits Policy

This policy will also be a permanent change to our current regulation of businesses. This policy, when enacted, will work to improve working conditions for the population, as well as regulate products to make more complete and functioning products for the consumer. This may reduce actual revenue, but it will make our goods higher quality and more plentiful. Government Subsidized Healthcare Act This bill will make regulate and subsidize healthcare across Patria. Currently, a few companies have monopolies over healthcare, and control insurance costs. Many people can’t afford healthcare, and end up mortgaging their house or car to pay for emergency medical bills because they didn’t want to pay the cost of a medical check up that could have prevented the life threatening illness. We can’t live in a society that prides itself on equality and prosperity while this is able to happen. This bill will help fix that, by keeping healthcare effective and at a lower rate. This may be expensive, but we hope to implement it in 2215 at the very latest. For the concerned citizen who stayed to read through all of our proposals, thank you. It is truly concerned citizens like you that make republics work.

David Dotson of the E.P.P. Announces Vice Chancellorship Run And Endorses Zane Griffin For Chancellor

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

David Dotson is standing behind a podium in a news station with his campaign posters behind him and the republic flag in the center



"Citizens of the Republic, as some of the more well informed citizens may know I David Dotson, Chairman of the Economic Prosperity Party will be running for Vice Chancellor of our great Republic. Earlier this morning I finished the proper steps in putting my son on my old seat on the United Trader Corps board of directors, now I can have all of my attention and focus on our great Republic. My campaign promise to you, the citizens of the Republic, is to help our economy grow with the creation of ever more jobs. I know some may say that the EPP is a twin of the other trader party the TPC, lead by Athelina who is also running for the spot of Vice Chancellor. So you may ask what jobs can I promise that she has not already promised the people. Well the matter is simple really, the TPC has promised you jobs cleaning nuclear waste and joining the ranks of their private trade protection military. The EPP with help from the UTC can provide the Republic with any job a person may so dream of working. From farmers to factory workers, even to workers out on our great mining stations in space! The EPP will bring jobs to all of the Republic and continue to boost our economic success! As we say, The Future Needs Funding."



"Also I would like to announce my endorsement for Zane Griffin in his bid for Chancellorship this 2200."



Dotson would walk off to the side of the network set as the screen would switch to show the EPP's logo.

The Party Of Oratish Views Lays Out It's Platform

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Official Party election Statement (presented by Jason Balthazar Pulsifer): My fellow citizens, We live in a time of change and turmoil. Faster than light travel enables us to reach further than at any time of history before. It is therefore of utmost importance to remember what brought us to this point.



Other parties will claim it was science or a specific individual or ideal, but the truth is: we are merely passengers in our destiny. We follow a grand plan, that lies beyond our comprehension, a plan we only have fragmentary understanding of: Ega’s plan.



For without him, without his blessings, without his creations, we would've never left the caves. It was him who brought us fire, it was him who blessed some of us with the ability to steer humanity in the right direction. But many did not comprehend his gift.



In their hubris they thought themselves above Ega and, as we all know, hubris inevitably leads to downfall. It is this reason that I urge you to help us to lead humanity back onto its rightful path! To help us fulfill our destiny and Ega’s promise!



For we are his chosen people and he gifted us all of his creations! He created pathways in which to follow means to fulfill his plan!



And fulfill it we shall, for we are his party, the only party humble enough to avouch, that we have not all the answers and strong enough to seek guidance from Ega’s emissaries, the orators!



So I will say it again: when the polls open, set out to your nearest polling station and vote the Party of Oratish views! Vote P.O.V.! For we are the only ones aware enough to listen to Ega, the almighty, our Lord!



And this is precisely why I have decided to run as chancellor together with my running mate Markus Scipioni, for we vouch that we will protect and cherish our traditional values and let Ega´s word guide us into the future!

The I.W.U. Increases It's Propaganda

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A Television Ad would be seen throughout many televisions on Patria. ​

​

Sitting in the middle of an average looking room would be Liam Henderson, the General Secretary of the I.W.U. ​

​

"My Fellow Patrians, my Comrades, Brothers and Sisters, and Friends. I am here today to announce my running for Chancellorship. If we expect true action to be taken to give back to the common man, to give back to the billions of people who have been unfortunately pushed to the bottom of society, than we need someone who has experienced the bottom, middle, and upper echelons of life. ​

​

I have been pushed aside by greedy businessmen, brought low by the Political Machines of the world. I am here offering one thing: To represent you. I bow to no buyer, to no salesmen or corporation. ​

​

I bow to the will of the people, to the will of every citizen on Patria who dares to speak out against the mistreatment they have faced. ​

​

The I.W.U. stands on the platform of the people, and if you so choose, will fall with their will, or rise to fight for them, no matter the costs." ​

​

The camera would change from Henderson to the Slums of Venland. ​

​

"The first of our promises to the people: To gradually raise the standard of living in a cost-manageable way. We plan to increase wages on a global scale and to guarantee that each citizen of our Republic lives happily, healthily, and comfortably. ​

​

We would name this promise the Citizen Guarantee. From us as citizens, to you as citizens. How could we manage this, you might ask? We will fund industries to guarantee that they can pay good, honest wages for every worker on the planet. " ​

​
