Nerita Apostolou Named Presidential Candidate;Sparks Questions From Turtle Bay Senator Talia Alexopoulou

May 4473-Nerita Apostolou, the Secretary of Zoltar Petros, has been announced as the presidential candidate for the New Conservative Party.

The President made the announcement at the Presidential Palace in front of news media:

Nerita Apostolou

I, Zoltar Petros, announce that Nerita Apostolou will be my successor to the presidency. She is one of the smartest, bravest, and the greatest presidential candidates currently available.

She has served me faithfully as my secretary, consulting me in all matters of state and helping me run the state. She deserves this post and anyone who states otherwise is not acting in the good faith of the nation and would rather work for there own interests.


Her announcement as successor has not been met without resistance however. Turtle Bay Senator Talia Alexopoulou has condemned Zoltar Petros and Nerita Apostolou as “expanding there corrupt influence into the presidential system and beyond”. Talia Alexopoulou has been a fervent critic of Zoltar Petros ever since the Ministry of Foreign Affairs decision to recognize Fortland as an independent country and sign a mutual defense treaty as well calling it a “overreaching and expansionist idea”. She’s also called the current administration-“Filthy dirty good for nothing politician elitist pieces of shit who deserve to be thrown out to sea”.

Talia Alexopoulou has begun planning a protest against the new presidential candidate. The protests are scheduled to began in two months and will be estimated to contain around 50,000 participants.

The Turtle Bay Monorail has been planned to run through all 4 major cities and some more suburban areas as well. The monorail would span almost 250,000 km and would be one of the largest continuous railway tracks in Keymon. The Monorail has been proposed to be purchased by Leighstown Railways for around 500 million KED.

The Ministry of Infrastructure has begun subsidies and beginning construction on new airports throughout Keymon including Turtle Bay, Leighstown, Jamestown, and Golden Coast. The airports would be open to all public usage and would be moderately large, capable of handling multiple large aircrafts.

Taxation Bill Cause Deadlock In Senate As NCP Breaks Down

May 4473-The recent Taxation Reform Act of February 4473 has sparked massive deadlock in the senate as the NCP breaks into two factions.

The first faction, supporting Talia Alexopoulou, has condemned Nerita Apostolou for corrupt behaviors and has some faction supporters claiming that Nerita Apostolou gained her office through having sex with President Zoltar Petros.

This faction has critiqued Nerita Apostolou for her libertarian views on gay marriage, cross dressing, divorce, LGBT people, and internationalism.

The other faction, supporting Nerita Apostolou, has continued to support Nerita through these allegations and attacks from opponents. Her more libertarian ideals have attracted more supporters than Talia’s more conservative views.

The taxation bill has led to a formal challenge for a debate between Nerita Apostolou and Talia Alexopoulou which both parties has excepted. The debate is scheduled for July 4473.

Debate Turns Bad for Nerita Apostolou as Zoltar Petros Says “She is Only Presidential Candidate Because We Had Sex”

June 4473-At the highly publicized and anticipated debate, both parties gathered and began the debate, which we’ve gotten a transcript of for our readers:
Moderator:Everybody, please be quite as we are about to begin the debate. Mrs. Apostolou are you ready?

Nerita Apostolou:Yes sir.

Moderator:Mrs. Alexopoulou, are you ready?

Talia Alexopoulou:Yes sir, I’m ready.

Moderator:Ok, I now declare this debate open. The first topic of discussion is abortion. How does each candidate stand?

Nerita Apostolou:Abortion is murder, plain and simple, however the decision should not be left to the federal government. It should be left to the local governments and the people’s representatives.

Talia Alexopoulou:Your idea that local governments should decide is like approving of killing children. The federal government should be tougher on abortion and ban all abortion, regardless of reason. Abortions are simply evil. Period.

Nerita Apostolou:No, local governments should decide. It is not the federal governments business to deal with abortions. It is the states decision and if the states want abortion, then there people can approve or disapprove and vote likewise. The federal government should not be large enough that it can make decisions about local matters that locals should have the final say in.

Moderator:Ok, that is enough of the abortion question. Now next we must discuss Mrs Apostolou’s election as presidential candidate. Mrs. Alexopoulou has called the decision “biased” and “corrupt”. Mrs Apostolou, is there any truth in this statement?

Nerita Apostolou:There is no factual comments in that statement sir. I was selected as Presidential candidate because I was the best candidate for the job.

Moderator: Ok, now Mrs Alexopoulou, do you have anything to say?

Talia Alexopoulou:May I call a witness to testify for me, sir?

Moderator:I suppose, make it quick though.

Talia Alexopoulou:I’d like to call Zoltar Petros as my witness sir.

Zoltar Petros:Hello. Now what was the question?

Talia Alexopoulou:I’d like to ask you if you preformed sexual acts with Mrs. Apostolou for her to gain her presidential candidacy.

Zoltar Petros:…yes I did perform sexual acts with Mrs. Apostolou in exchange for her becoming presidential candidate.

Audience Booing/Surprise

Nerita Apostolou:Lies! I never performed sexual acts with Mr. Petros! This lying son of a bitch is not telling the truth!

Moderator:Order! Order! Order! Is there any evidence that this occurred Mr. Petros?

Zoltar Petros:No, sadly. But I can guarantee to you that she performed sex-

Nerita Apostolou:NO! He is lying! I would never perform sexual acts with this man! Never!

Moderator:ORDER DAMNIT! I must remind you all that this is an accusation with no evidence to back it up, so we must take this with a grain of salt. Now I’m not here to shame you if you did have sexual intercourse with Mr Petros, Ms. Apostolou, however if you gained your presidency from such intercourse, serious questions must be asked and if these accusations are true, you will have violated federal law concerning bribery, do you know that?

Nerita Apostolou: Sir, I did in no way, have sexual intercourse with Mr. Petros. He is lying and so is Mrs. Alexopoulou.

Talia Alexopoulou: I never brought these accusations up Mrs. Apostolou.

Nerita Apostolou:Bullshit! You’ve continuously made slanderous remarks about me and sexual acts. First you called me lesbian. Then you called me a whore. Only a couple weeks ago you insinuated that I had sex with Mr. Petros for my presidency. You are a lying fucking bi-

Moderator:That is enough Mrs. Apostolou! Since neither of you can come to an agreement, this entire debate is worthless and I’ve seen enough of both of you. Since both Mrs. Apostolou and Mrs. Alexopoulou continue to sling shit at each other, I’m officially calling off this debate. You’ve both proven yourself badly tempered and that’s enough for me. Thank you!


Afterwards, Nerita Apostolou’s legal team released a statement concerning the possibility of pursuing libel charges against Talia Alexopoulou. They stated-“We’ve decided to not pursue legal charges against Talia H. Alexopoulou. Instead we request that she stop making such slanderous comments about our client and she apologize for all previous comments made.”

Talia Alexopoulou’s legal team has not yet responded.

On social media, many Keymonites were demanding Nerita Apostolou’s resignation as presidential candidate in favor of another candidate. They’ve begun to use the hashtag-#TaliatoPrison. This in reaction to possible bribery laws that could’ve been violated if this instance of sexual intercourse did occur. Nerita Apostolou has responded on social media with the following-
“I, in no way whatsoever, had sexual intercourse with Mr. Zoltar Petros. Me and him had no romantic relationship”.

The Turtle Bay protests, set up by Talia Alexopoulou, originally scheduled to be attended by 50,000 people now has an estimated attendance of 150,000 and growing.

The Turtle Bay Police Department (TBPD) has announced that at least 1,500 officers will be at the event to maintain order.

Talia Alexopoulou has assured the T.B.P.D that the protests will be peacefully and will be guarded by members of the New Conservative Army, the New Conservative Parties Paramilitary Branch.

The protests were lead by Talia Alexopoulou with a bullhorn chanting-“No Whore as the President!” alongside other chants.

Talia Alexopoulou Threatens to Began Another Protests Unless a Cabinet Compromise Is Agreed To

September 4473-Talia Alexopoulou has threatened Nerita Apostolou’s government with another protests in Turtle Bay unless she and several of her supporters are given positions in the cabinet.

Over social media Talia Alexopoulou stated-“The cabinet need an update and my followers and I are the defect fit for that update. If Nerita doesn’t update this cabinet, then I will organize another protests to demand our rightful place within the cabinet”.

This threat has caused some Senators to vote in favor of a cabinet proposal that makes Talia Alexopoulou the Foreign Minister and makes many of her supporters including Zoltar Petros, cabinet members.

It seems as though the proposal will pass and soon Talia Alexopoulou will be Foreign Minister which could damn Northern Council relations as she is a known anti-Northern Councilor.

Foreign Minister Holds Press Conference Concerning NC and Fortland

March 4474-Minister of Foreign Affairs, Talia Alexopoulou, held a press conference at the Presidential Palace discussing two major issues she’s be outspoken about-Fortland sovereignty and the Northern Council

I’ve held this conference to make something’s very clear. I am not like the previous foreign minister. I do not share his values and I’m gonna make this perfectly clear.

The first major issue we need to discuss is Fortland. Fortland is not a country. It is a speck. It is a atrocity that we recognize this speck as a nation. If I had the Ministry of Defense, I would send troops to this speck in a instant. Yet I don’t, so all I can say is, Fortland is not a country and never will be. Period.

Next, the Northern Council. The Northern Council is not a necessity and is making foreign policy decisions for us. The organization forces us to go to war if another member is attacked, regardless of if it’s our fight. The Northern Council barely bothers to consider Keymon interests. Instead it focuses on the interests of Kazulia or Hutori. The Northern Council is simply an expedite of Kazulia’s or Hutori’s interests. We should leave the Northern Council and work together with cultures and nations closer to us like Vanuku. Instead the corrupt officials have decided to work with other corrupt officials like those in Kazulia and Hutori. If my allies had a majority of the seats in the Senate then we’d leave. Yet the corrupt politicians are working to keep us in this organization. Maybe at the next elections we’ll win and beat these corrupt politicians.

I promise you all, that once our allies win, we’ll have the strongest nation in the world and leave the Northern Council.


Her statements have cause some problems in the party. President Nerita Apostolou condemned Mrs. Alexopoulou stating:
The Northern Council is a great assistance to all nations involved. Leaving would be extremely painful to our military and our economy. Keymon will not leave the Northern Council. Period.
