January 2405
Wolfsheim, Ostland - Elections for the State Council resulted in their expected results, those representative of the people of Ostland were truly elected, 43 of the 50 elected seats of the State Council went to the Ostland State Association (Dundorfian: Ostland Staatsverband) which is the party of incoming State President Karsten Stoiber and has been the ruling party for the past several decades. Underneath the leadership of the OSV the people of Ostland have prospered and the shared bond between the Ostlander and Kunikata people has never been stronger. The remainder of the seats 7 of them went to the Southern Ostland Party (Dundorfian: Südöstliche Partei) which represents a majority of landowners and business owners closer to the former owner of Ostland's lands, Hulstria and Gao-Soto. The other 25 seats of the 75 seat State Council are appointed by the State President, the 25 appointed members are independents but many of them closely align with the Ostland State Association and have served Ostland faithfully for many years, most of them are successful businessmen, military and security officers as well as various others who have dedicated themselves to the people of Ostland.
Despite peaceful elections the State Commission for Defense and the State Commission for the Interior maintained heavy presence throughout the country, namely at polls where several dozen Kunikata leftists were arrested for their efforts in an attempt to disrupt the polls. Various other incidents like the one in Ansschlag, were reported in Troein, Dornrau and Landkirchen. In the Southern portion of the country where a vast majority of Ostland's incredibly loyal Kunikata reside, the Koan-Keisatsu (Kunikata: 公安警察 Kōan keisatsu, "Public Police Force") were out in force to ensure the Kunikata's voice was heard and many of them elected representatives of the Southern Ostland Party where they were ecstatic to see their chosen representatives elected to the State Council. Dietmar Schoeler the State Commissioner for Kunihito Welfare stated that the Kunikata had planned several dozen rallies to celebrate the recent elections.
