No they didn't. Saridan is a democracy now. A very dysfunctional democracy, but a democracy nonetheless.
I.e. no more paramilitary wars.

According to legislation and your diplomatic status, Surtilati belongs to Kafuristan and is heavily guarded by military presence. Stay off of my island.


It's not your island. Is Saridan's one. And we, the SPS, are Kafuristan-friendly.


You need a constitutional majority to change things.

Order Restored (Almost)

Image

3 February, 3120
The people of Saridan have been freed from the tyranny of the Nameless Party and with the help of Kafuristan and Al'Badara, new leaders have been installed in the mainland. The mission of establishing a new government for Saridan was entrusted to the Aristocratic Ruralist Union, a party consisting of anti-NP civil war veterans, farmers and other land owners (before the NP regime stole their property), loyal Catholics and more or less traditionalistic intellectuals. The Socialist Party of Saridan has also been recognized as a legal party.

The new government describes the war as the most devastating is Saridani history. More than a fifth of the population died in battle, by bombings, or by disease and starvation as a consequence of the the actions of the Nameless Party, and many people are still dying in the horrid aftermath. All the major cities have been severely damaged by artillery fire and air bombings - two thirds of Golemia have turned into rubble. Saridani industry lies in ruins.
The only part of Saridan that remains relatively intact is the countryside, but even there the people are suffering.

The ARU government has been quick to overturn the worst excesses of the totalitarian regime. Returners of the old theocratic regime has helped restore some of the pre-totalitarian institutions such as the courts; the child brainwashing institutions and the "breedellos" have been removed, and the government has done its best to bring the kidnapped children back to their families; religion has again been legalized and the Saridani Catholic Church reestablished as the state church; and an elective monarchy has been established with Erique Leo choosen by the ARU as the first to bear the title King Elected.

The Aristocratic Ruralist Union describes itself as a radical conservative, elitist, agrarian and corporatist party. They are vehemently traditionalist and anti-modern, and state in their 12 Point Programme that "nature and the countryside are superior to urbanites" and that we should "keep heavy industry on a short leash and restricted to certain areas". They acknowledge the irony that the war actually advanced some of their goals, since they think "that the human population is shrinking is to be celebrated".
As the name suggests, the ARU is sceptical of democracy - or "mob-rule" as they prefer to call it - and wishes to "establish aristocracy - rule by the best".

Commander Carl Dead (?)

17 February, 3120
After failing to find Commander Carl, the armies of Saridan, Kafuristan and Al'Badara suspected that he might have taken his own life to avoid the humiliation of being captured. Former high-ranking NP members seem to validate the theory.
During their harsh interrogations, a number of party members said that they witnessed Commander Carl's suicide. They explained that they fulfilled the last wish of their leader by cremating his dead body and spreading the ashes.

The executions of the captured NP members will take on 21 February.

OOC: You need my consent to divide Saridan into two states, otherwise it's invalid RP.
You haven't even asked me.

Revolution! Government about to fall?

Across the Hand of Saridan, symbols of the power of the United Kingdom of Saridan have fallen one by one - from local level Government right up to the duchy level, to the point where, now, the entirety of mainland Saridan is no longer under the control of the Kingdom's Government. The United Democratic Movement is the driving force behind this "Democratic Revolution", pushing all bastions of the King's power from existence, and instating an Emergency-Consulate to oversee the victory of this revolution. Heading both the UDM and this emergency government is a one Jonathan Thelon.

Mr Thelon spoke during a rally outside what will become the Parliament Building once more about a new constitution - the king being replaced by a symbolic Chancellor and the Head of Government role being taken by the Chairman of the Consulate - or, Prime Consul. It is very reminiscent of the Saridan of old, and that is surely not a coincidence. As this so far relatively peaceful revolution spreads, we shall see what the outcome shall be for our nation.
