Kazulian Crisis Declared, Opposition parties declare measures against one another
Statssjef James Forsyth in direct opposition to VPK cabinet
Today measures passed placing James Forsyth, leader of the RFF, in complete control of the nation of Kazulia. Gaining control of the cabinet and over the nation for the next five years, he has solidified his control, only to be faced with an uprising of the previous leaders of the nation, the VPK. Unwilling to relinquish control in the face of oppression and what is seen as a dictatorship by many international bodies, the VPK cabinet has refused to resign, keeping control of the government in Thorgerd.
Faced with vast opposition rallies in the capital, Forsyth has officially moved the head of government to Skalm, in the neighbouring province of Dreton, more firmly under RFF control. So far no action has been taken up by the government apparently elected in the latest elections other than those laws and constitutional changes forced through the Stortinget, new Parliment of the nation.

Outgoing government attempts to scupper RFF
Before the RFF has had a chance to form a new government VPK ministers have sent out a number a decrees aimed at restoring true democracy to Kazulia and holding the fascist terrorists and fraudsters responsible for their crimes against working people.
Internal Affairs Minister Eva Nordén has declared the RFF illegal and has ordered the arrest of 'President' James Forsyth who she described as a “terrorist usurper” and a “traitor to the state”. The Internal Affairs Minister made clear that her government considers Maria Svensson to be the country's only legitimate president and has urged all Kazulians to put their trust in her and in the VPK. Also to be arrested are all RFF members of the national parliament who have gained their positions illegally as a result of fraud. In addition Ms. Nordén has suspended the electoral commission and ordered an immediate investigation into how the fraud was able to take place on such a mass scale.
Defence Minister Peter Liljeberg meanwhile has declared a state of emergency and decreed that the army must work with the police to bring the RFF terrorists to justice and restore order as soon as possible. The army should, Mr Liljeberg declared, “take every step necessary to cleanse Kazulia of the fascist poison that has engulfed our nation and threatens to destroy every single piece of progress which working people have achieved over the last thousand years or more”. As a first step the army has been ordered to seal off parliament and prevent any laws being passed by the RFF regime.
Infrastructure Minister Håkan Kvarnström and Trade and Industry Minister Monica Larsson have both added to calls for a general strike until “every last leading member of the RFF has been arrested and the party deprived of all positions of power once and for all”. This strike applies to every worker in the entire country and is already brining about mass economic chaos in towns and cities across Kazulia. According to the two ministers only working people can “restore justice and dignity to their country and prevent any and every attempt to diminish the rights and benefits gained by the ordinary woman and man after hundreds of years of struggle”.
The army, torn by demands placed upon it by both the old communist regime and the new militaristic president has completely withdrawn from public control in the wake of an internal power struggle between communist and fascist elements. Ignoring demands to lay down their weapons from democratic elements, to blockade parliament from communist elements and to close down VPK headquarters from fascist elements, gunshots have been heard from the army headquarters, with no news as to who may be leading the drive to unite them under one banner.
Low-level violence has been heard to have occurred in the Herramark of Hent, where Hulstrian and Dranish ethnic minorities, fiercely supportive of the old communist regime, have seized control of the major cities and pathways between them. Police have declared their support for the old regime and army forces have withdrawn. The VPK cabinet, independent from demands to disband by the new Statssjef, have declared Hent the centre of the legitimate authority of the nation, saying the last election was fraudulent, and have fortified Kazulia's capital of Thorgerd. Calls for the arrest of RFF leaders has lead to the seizure of Peder Jaeg, the candidate for the ministry of foreign affairs, who was carried blindfolded through the streets of Lamond, Hent, a major VPK centre of power. Without overall control of the legal system of Kazulia the RFF has been unable to call for his release, and has remained closed away from the rest of Kazulia as reforms take place.
The nation remains divided, unable to form a strong face one way or the other. On the one hand the VPK, their fierce rhetoric demanding legal action against their opponents, on the other hand the RFF, strangely silent outside their new dominated Stortinget, leaving a muted response in the Herramarks outside of Hent. A new flag flies over Kazulia, but for how long remains to be seen.
