Bayram Seyidov, Chairman of the ACU:

Members of this chamber,

I must inform you of Hobrazia's intent to withdraw from Artanian Community Economic Zone (ACEZ). While our government fully intends to continue participating in ACON, we believe that our trade interests demand a higher level of sovereignty and therefore we do not feel our needs are best met within ACEZ. We will continue to work with the rest of Artania in pursuing our shared political goals of peace, stability, and cultural exchange.

4910 Elections


Doressa: The second ever PAC election was held this year, with one new party in the mix. The Social Democrats once again won but suffered a major loss of seats, with most of these seats going to the Green Democrats and the Protectionist party. The SCPP remains the smallest party in the PAC while the ACU is closing in on the SDAC, remaining the second largest party in the PAC. Despite the major election loss for the SDAC they remain the largest and thus can propose the second ever ACEC. They theoratically still hold a majority with their left leaning GDAP partner, with whom they worked with to propose the first ACEC. Observers expect at least President Schulman to remain in office for this term, with the composition of the rest of the ACEC unclear.

Socialists and Democrats of the Artanian Community (SDAC)
220/635 seats -84 seats

Artanian Conservative Union (ACU)
204/635 seats +14 seats

Green Democratic Artanian Party (GDAP)
120/635 seats +36 seats

Artanian Protectionist Party (APP)
51/635 seats +51 seats

Socialist Common People's Party (SCPP)
40/635 seats -17 seats


New PAC composition

[Rogue]

Alex Vleugel, Leader of the SDAC

We congratulate the GDAP and ACU for their electoral victory and wish them luck in this new term. The same goes for the new APP. After discussions with the GDAP, and thus having a majority backing, we propose that the current sitting Executive Commission its term to be extended for this term as well, adding 6 years for the current team. We therefor propose the new (or rather old) ACEC in front of the PAC and would ask the chairman to put it to vote.

Secretary of Artanian Culture
Jacob Cox (Social Democrat)
