Liberal Democratic Party Forms
Classical Liberals form a party

Thordgerd, Kazulia- Today, classical liberals in Kazulia formed the Liberale Demokratiske Partiet, as a second party.

Senterpartiet Reforms
After not contesting in several general elections it reforms under a new leader

Thorgerd, Kazulia - Today in a nation wide broadcasted news conference, the leader of the then-regional Senterpartiet announced that it will be contesting in the general elections to the Parliament of Kazulia which will be held this August. Harald announced that his party will be submitting lists of candidates to the Parliament from all constituencies and that he will be fighting for votes hoping to see a Senterpartiet majority in the unicameral parliament. The Senterpartiet has not been present in the national parliament for at least 4 terms, however being present in regional parliaments and governments being problematic for the government which failed to gain majority of seats in the regional parliaments. However, they refused to participate in national elections for unknown reasons, possibly internal party disputes or the inability or lack of a strong leadership to lead the party through such serious elections. Despite this set back, the King has always been supportive of the party which founded his Kingdom decades ago in the middle of the 32nd century. King Erik I announced that he will be actively supporting the Senterpartiet in their election campaign, deeming that they are "The righteous ruling party of the Kingdom of Kazulia, representing all political views from left to right in a united and supportive manner."

The beginning of the campaign has still not begun, however preparations are much ahead. Thousands of posters, flyers and television commercials promoting the Senterpartiet in these elections. Whispers speak of the party leader traveling to every single constituency these elections and the Senterpartiet has already declared that these elections they will be going "door to door" to "listen, hear and attempt to improve on the ideas of citizens for a better Kazulia and a better life for them and listen and hear their complaints and expectations in the near future after elections". We are yet to see, how the Senterpartiet will preform. However, we wish them and other parties all the best.

Senterpartiet becomes the Høyre
The Senterpartiet or Centre Party became the Høyre, literally "Right" just weeks before elections.

The new logo of the former Senterpartiet

Thorgerd, Kazulia - In one of the most stunning political moves the Kingdom of Kazulia has ever seen, the "last minute" image change of the Senterpartiet has surprised many voters, apparently in a good way. The Senterpartiet leader, which was just leader for several weeks announced that the Senterpartiet has decided to dissolve itself officially and recreate named the Høyre or literally, the Right. The party has recreated under its new name and logo and new leader - with a different platform which voters have seen as a progressive and good step answering well to this change in recent opinion polls in light of the elections. The party leader, Aksel Harald announced the party's new platform as right-wing in social issues and conservative-liberal on economic issues, effectively being a right-wing political organization. This switch of platform, party names and overall image was in light of the increased conservatism of the Senterpartiet. Therefore, no longer wishing to have to restrict their political views to be a centre political party, the party and its members decided to reform in this, conservative right-wing form. At present, opinion polls show that the Høyre has about 57% of support of the Kazulian population, compared to the low 22% of the Senterpartiet before it was dissolved. When asked why this remarkable change was made, Harald replied "We needed to change to realign ourselves with the majority political view of our members, we needed to change and meet the needs of the right-wing population of Kazulia and change to be a new and fresh political image on the Kazulian political stage". At its current support, the Høyre shall most likely win these elections with the ability to form a majority government without other political parties in Kazulia needed to join it.

Elections in Kazulia Conclude
Høyre wins election with a 53% majority in the Stortinget

Image

Thorgerd, Kazulia - Elections have been held today in our homeland, the Kingdom of Kazulia. Everyone, waiting eagerly for the election results, especially members of the Høyre which were supposed to have their chance at running their government alone. This chance was granted by the Kazulian voters, allowing the Høyre a great victory in its very first elections as a right-wing political party. Perhaps it was the strong campaign, the change in image or the ambitious leader, are all three combined, somehow the Høyre was successful in rebuilding its political support in the Kazulian public. Trailing some 30% points behind the KNA at the beginning of the campaign, the Høyre has won with a 3 seat majority in the Stortinget, and thousands of seats in region parliaments and regional city councils. This is certainly a victory for the Høyre as they successfully win these elections completely destroying their opposition. A list of government officials was quickly gathered and presented to the public and the new King, King Erik II for approval. Having signed with the royal seal, the King authorized the formation of a government which he publicly admitted he had voted for. " I understand that the public would like me to remain politically neutral, however I am only human as well. I have voted for a political party in which I see Kazulia's future, the Høyre and will support their government as long as they continue to resolve Kazulian problems and pass the legislation they promised in their campaign to the Kazulian people." The successful campaign of the Høyre has payed off, however will they be able to win this majority next elections which are already in 5 years? Time is indeed flying, and so is the support for the Høyre-lead government as long as it remains politically inactive like it has.

Kazulia Mobilizes by Order of the King
His Majesty's Armed Forces have been fully mobilized by the First Field Marshal, King Erik II.

Thorgerd, Kazulia - Today, in a predictable move the King, Erik II mobilized all of the men serving in the Kazulian Armed Forces including reserves. In light of Kazulian support for the Darnussian Republic in the anti-Imperial alliance, the King mobilized the Armed Forces with the threat of possible attack on Kazulia. The extensive Navy of Kazulia, arguably one of the most powerful navies in the world was first to be mobilized to patrol Kazulian territorial waters which consist of more than any other nations on Terra. Furthermore, a great portion of the Kazulian Ground Forces and Air Force was dispatched to land on the coat of the Darnussian Republic and so it has done, entering and setting up command centers and camps on the coast as well as well as further inland. The Kazulian Armed Forces, remarkably disciplined and trained are world renowned for operating one of the most technologically advanced military's in the world. With many resources and extensive land to patrol and defend they remain as one of the largest forces on Terra. Despite being quite powerful, they can only challenge the military of Luthori or Hulstria at the present day on a smaller scale, however with their different techniques and exchanging quantity for quality they still remain a worthy foe to beware of. The three million troops entering Darnussian territories were mobilized secretly and transported on a flotilla of 32 Kazulian ships, including 3 aircraft carriers containing their maximum load of aircraft on board. Just months before elections, it is unknown how the public will receive the decision of the government and Aksel Harald which agreed to the mobilization of these troops. We shall keep you updated, fellow citizens!

Political Situation Deteriorates
The political situation in Kazulia deteriorates as the anarchists begin violent protests and holding of hostages.

Image
President of Kazulia, Ernest Bjørnøy.

Thorgerd, Kazulia - News rang throughout Kazulia as elections concluded and the results were in. It was clear that the Anarchist-Syndicalists would no longer be in government to implement their anarchist reforms. Instead, a pro-monarchist coalition of three political parties was voted in immediately after elections with Ernest Bjørnøy leading the new Council of Ministers of Kazulia in order to ensure stability in the nation as well as support for the monarch. However, the Anarchist political party pledged its revenge against this and began to assemble militia forces within Sør-Trøndelag and the neighboring colonial possessions of the Kingdom of Kazulia. The government's reaction however proved to be delayed with little support for the monarch in the reason. Military defections in the area were immediate and the First Field Marshal declared a state of emergency within the province as all citizens who pledged support for the King were quickly rushed to neighboring lands in order to maintain their lives as normal. The Anarchists however, have refused to stand down and have gone as far as kidnapping mayors of cities to have their demands met. The situation is rapidly destroying itself as a stand off between two, powerful political entities - the pro-republican and pro-monarchist forces and the messing of foreign powers such as Indrala into the situation may cause an outright anarchist rebellion. However, extreme speculators have been ridiculed and it has is expected that the pro-monarchist government will deal with the crisis as quickly as possible and stability to the region will be restored once more.

This difficult situation for Kazulia comes upon the nation after Kazulian politicians have refused to sign the Treaty of Xijing which was initiated by the anarchist government and Indrala to purchase a majority of colonies from the Kingdom of Kazulia. This plan was however, short lived as the monarchist political parties quickly assembled under the leadership of the Horye to oppose the legislation and in turn treaty. However, Indrala has become increasingly difficult to deal with and has been observed very sternly and patiently by the Kazulian Navy. With an Indralan naval fleet in the international waters just off the Kazulian coast, the First Field Marshal King Erik II expressed his worries about Kazulian national security and sovereignty. The Kazulian Council of Ministers has however taken upon a more stern response to Indralan threats of war unless the treaty is signed, released an official declaration stating that the Kazulian people will not stand for petty ultimatums initiated by a tyrant on an island thousands of kilometers away.

Kazulian Royal Family; Dead
The Kazulian Royal Family perishes in the nations worst tragedy to date.

Image
The Palace's East wing ablaze.

Thorgerd, Kazulia - In the largest tragedy the Kingdom of Kazulia has ever seen, during one swift moment the life of 18 members of the small Royal family was destroyed during the fire of the Thorgerd Palace which left the area of the Royal City in ruins. King Erik II, Prince Anders, everyone present in the palace during the time were killed as a result of the palace coming ablaze. One might ask, how such tragedy may happen in this age where fire prevention is so greatly advanced. Tradition and culture is what prevented from proper fire alarms and fire safety elements being placed in the building. King Nikolai I and King Nikolai II alike both refused to destroy the inner wooden walls of the palace and the great arts they had on them which was the pride of Thogerd. The Palace of Riches it was called by many Kazulians, the palace had great amounts of art painted upon its walls and amazing rooms which made anyone and everyone stand in awe when seen. Despite being so luxurious, the main parts of the palace were rarely used by the Royal family - only in the event of the reception of guests or international figures. The Royal family found itself living in the East wing at the will of King Erik II which refused to live in such luxury whilst his citizens were not able to share this. With this intention many pieces of art and paintings were removed from the palace in the middle of King Erik's rule and were put in museums. However, what saved the riches did not save the royal family.

The fire began in the early morning, local time when all were still asleep. No one realized what was happening until one brave citizen noticed the fire as he was returning from his night shift. The firemen where quickly notified however it was much too late - the East wing of the palace was nearly falling apart whilst the rest of the palace was engulfed in flames already. By the time firefighters arrived, all inside were dead still in their beds. Kazulia mourns as the Stortinget joins for an early secession in order to elect a new Royal house.

Monarchists Win Decisively
After the results of elections have been announced, the monarchist political parties have claimed a decisive victory over republicans.


Image

Thorgerd, Kazulia - The 3228 elections have concluded in Kazulia as the nation has decisevely chosen which political system the prefer which was the main issue of this campaign. The Republican forces of the anarchists lost in one of their largest electoral defeats to the monarchist coalition composed of 4 political parties in Kazulia supporting the monarchical system of government within the nation. Despite this great victory which was foreseeable, the anarchists left the elections with a constant majority in the Stortinget, something they have managed to maintain for the last decade of elections. This campaign was severely difficult for the The Right, the leading political party against a republican system of government which fell from second place to third and lost nearly five percent of its electorate to other allied political parties. Despite this, the losses within the monarchist coalition remained within the monarchist coalition as the anarchist political group failed to gain any seats and saw it loose 15 and fall under 200 seats for the first time.

The struggle for supporting the monarch began for the fourth term in the Kazulian Parliament, as the supermajority of the monarchists, feed up with the constant arguing for a republic proposed legislation which would dissolve of the Kingdom of Kazulia and instead establish the Principality of Kazulia with a Viceroy system. This decision comes in light of the death of a Royal House in the recent Palace fire. The new proposal was only opposed by the anarchists which were unable to stop the vote, lacking the number of seats preventing the constitutional reform taking place.

Monarchist Split as Republicans Disband

Røros, Kazulia - The Kazulian political scene was one of predictable elections, law making and bickering among the political parties in parliament with those against the anarchist and those for which only at a certain period included the Mitten Partiet. Nevertheless, the monarchists could rejoice as the libertarian-socialist republican political trade union which outright dominated the Kazulian political scene due to low voter turnout of monarchist voters and possible electoral fraud. Despite high results at times nearing half the legislature the republican political party failed to enter government nearly every term excluding the one year rule after forming a coalition between the Mitten Partiet and themselves. Yet one might think that simply because the republican party was incapable of forming a government the issue would end there however that was hardly the case in our beloved homeland. Foreign powers such as Gaduridos and their ministers looked upon Kazulia with intelligence reports suggesting the involvement of Gaduridos in forming and stirring up the republican movement within Kazulia or to a lesser extent funding it throughout its existence. The monarchists were upon rough times with their leading political party being inconsistent changing from one party name to another from one ideology to another confusing the public and causing very poor election results. This would hardly stop the forcibly teamed monarchist compromise as they had no other choice, defense of the monarchist tradition and identity in Kazulia was needed to prevent another corrupt republic which would either end in dictatorship or a socialist victory which would drive the nation into ruins.

The solution was found as recently revealed in an idea of "strangling" the republican movement and starving it in a legal manner using Social Darwinism as its inspiration. The republican movement being weak and based primarily on propaganda won most of its electoral votes the eastern portion of the country and the monarchists sought for it to remain that way by running shock campaigns and propaganda campaigns in the rest of Kazulia. This slowly began to work dwindling the support of the republicanists in other areas of the country until it was unable to run itself only from small donations from one population center. Gaduridos, rumored to have been supporting this effort along with the Alliance of Terran Republics must have indeed thought that since the movement is so weak wasting more money into it is unnecessary and dropped their support for it once and for all. This isolation and inability to grow most likely took down the republican trade union from the political scene of our nation and with it the threat of the destruction of our previous monarchy which has recently suffered a tremendous loss which remains fresh.

Many officials, especially the leaders of the remaining parties one by one expressed their relief on the issue of the disbanding republican political party and how a "new era has dawned upon our great nation and that we must take advantage of the peace we have to prepare for the next battle". That phrase may mean whatever one may want it to mean, however the remaining republican movement supporters are there still and whether they will form another independent less radical political organization themselves or wait for it to reappear in the following months or hopefully never. No one yet knows what exactly happen however we are aware of one thing; the battle for the Kazulian political scene is still not over. Whether the leader of the Framstegspartiet meant that phrase to be directed toward republicans, we doubt. The moment the anarchists surrendered themselves to the political power and democratic majority of the monarchists, the Kazulian National Alliance proposed a cabinet which excluded the smaller parties which were the Framstegspartiet and Mitten Partiet. In return, the two parties formed their own coalition and a shadow cabinet whilst beginning a campaign to "reclaim Kazulia". All we can say now is this much; the fight for who will survive longer on the Kazulian political scene is certainly not over. Hopefully this outright bloody fight will not end in dividing the country once more like it did, just several years ago.

Bondepartiet vows to restore Republic
May 3279

General Secretary Johan Myhre wants to end the current stagnation

Dr. Myhre addressing the Diet

ÅKREHAMN (Porsgrunn) --- The Bondepartiet (Agrarian or Farmers' Party) wants to make the restoration of the Republic a key issue. Kazulia has been under a reign of Princes ever since the disappearance of the Kings but now faces a challenge. General Secretary of the Bondepartiet Johan Myhre (49) wants to stress however that the proposal is a card that will not be fully played in the current election campaign. "It's too early for us to discuss the state structure. We want to build a firm base and continue the way we are doing, providing Kazulians with correct information about the stagnation the Principality is causing," Myhre said. He continued: "What's important now is that we find a solution for the benefit of all Kazulians."

Dr. Johan Myhre (born 3229) got an MA in Theology at the State University of Holmsbu and continued to get his PhD in Church History at the Royal Studium of Honningsvåg. After his studies, he has taught at the Free University of Thorgerd and has given lectures all around the world about the influence of the church on agricultural reforms. In 3277 dr. Myhre was chosen to be the first General Secretary of the Bondepartiet and got 15,6% in the 3278 elections. Since then, he is Bondepartiet's faction leader in the Diet. He is married to dr. Line Irgens (b. 3227) who currently is head of the research laboratory of the Biomechanics Department at the State University of Holsmbu. They have no children.
