Parade in KarlsbornTrumpets heralded the commencement of the KNP Parade. The streets were lined with cheering citizens, carrying flags and the parade was set to be broadcast on every major radio and television channel in the country.
Columns of rifle-bearing men and women marched in the streets, as the Wolfsgarde displayed its glory to the nation. The parade closed with the playing of both the national anthem and the KNP anthem (the latter had finally acquired a set of accompanying lyrics). A large stage was set up in front of the party headquarters in Karlsborn, party members seated accordingly. The crowd was hushed to a concerned murmur as Potentate Ruprecht Alphonsus arrived in full ceremonial military dress, a throwback to his time in the nations military.
His jackboots clicked loudly on marble as he made his way to the podium, dressed in a black tunic adorned with gold. Stepping onto the platform, he began his speech:
“Comrades! We have assembled here in Karlsborn to celebrate our culture, heritage, success! You have witnessed the unparalleled discipline and skill-at-arms of our men and women in uniform and now you shall witness the rebirth of our nation!
Our nation, for all of her greatness, suffers at the hands of a plague. That plague, my friends, is ignorance! Ignorance brought about by years of socialist tyranny! Politics in our land have devolved into a miserable popularity contest, where the Kaiser is the one who spouts pipe dreams and hoaxes! With the filthy politicians you witness on the television just trying to win the votes of the uninformed through buzzwords and mudslinging! This system – democracy – can do nothing but promote ignorance and prevents our government from effectively serving the people. The actions that the KNP is about to undertake, we do for the sake of the people and their benefit, for dissent is the greatest show of patriotism!
The SRP seek to destroy our proud heritage by allowing unqualified immigrants and refugees into our land...among their other destructive policies. These anarcho-socialists have no sense of loyalty, duty, honor or discipline…and it is for that reason that they must be punished for their transgressions. The KNP can no longer stand idly by while the socialists and their puppets continue to wreak havoc on our proud nation.
Therefore, I deliver an ultimatum to the SRP and its government: stand down now, relinquish all power and none shall be harmed…you’d be rewarded, in fact, for choosing the honorable path and lessening the burden of our people. If, however, you decide to circumvent our will, we will have no choice but to remove you through force.
A word of warning: the KNP is not acting alone. Fur Ehre, Ruhm und Vaterland!”
At these words, flags hung from the party headquarters building were unfurled, revealing the black-white-purple flag of the KNP with a new addition: a white phoenix emblazoned in the middle black stripe. The cheers only grew louder as another parade began, accompanied with the singing of patriotic hymns and anthems.
“Like a phoenix, our nation will rise from the ashes of corruption and destruction. We shall rise ever more, and we shall show our true glory to the world!"
((OOC: Consider this a revolt. Things were getting quite boring around our country, so I'm spicing it up a bit. ))
