December 14th 4885

Ntoto has gone into an official civil war. Pro-Democractic Supports shot and killed Antouman Saidykhan second only to the Leader of the Socialist Front, Birom. The car was riddled with bullets but a bullet proof vest saved Mr. Borom's life. In retaliation, Socialists who have stayed calm and peaceful up until this point began an armed conflict. Already the Socialists militias have captured some 300 democracy supporters and pro-government supporters. The Socialists have taken the nation by storm protesting and now using militias to seize the nation. Kiego is still being fought over three factions, the Government, Democrats and Socialists, however the Democracy camp has become less unified in these days and has no central leader so it is falling apart.


Socialist Women march through Kiego

The Capital Compound has yet to be breached however the Socialists have taken key sectors of the economic sector and rural communities have gravitated towards the cause. Birom has called for a week of mourning for the death of his comrade Antouman, however the Socialists have taken this time to expel and disarm all other groups in the nation. In almost a week, the Socialists have taken the nation and the people of Ntoto by storm. Is this the new way forward for Ntoto? The next test for the Socialists is the Government and the police that continue to have a presences on the ground, especially in Keige where weapons are limited and protest stopped.

Ntoto is changing but the question remains Changing to what? Time will tell however the Socialists are not taking matters into their own hands. Ntoto is turning... RED!

Glorious Comrades Storm Capital Compound, Arrest Government Birom Takes Power! Declares People's Republic of Ntoto!!!



Kiego, Ntoto
June 4th 4888

Patriots of Ntoto, Comrades of Socialism the Day Has Arrived. Ntoto has taken the shackles of Dictatorship off and has become a Republic! Last month the Socialists stomped out the evil Capitalist Pigs and their supports that came from Western Nations and they stopped that group from killing Ntotoans. Street to street building to building getting rid of anyone that was not loyal to Birom and his forces. Birom's message started resonating to Ntotans and his message and many people tired of both camps choose the third option. Quickly after months and months. President Birom sent forces to take Ntoto back from the greedy capitalist and his plan worked.

The Democracy supporters who murdered and hurt so many were the first to fall, there ranks were stopped and taken into custody. The plan was quick and expertly done. The people of Ntoto weeded out the phonies and they were now ready to topple the regime. As the forces approached the capital complex. The guard tried to make peace and when they saw they were outnumbered they joined the side of the Socialists Freedom Fighters. The Freedom Fighters next stormed the capital compound and the sheer numbers of the workers stormed the buildings armed with fire arms and other weapons.

Soon after Ogoo was arrested and the Government in custody of the Socialists. It is unclear the fate of the current government and reports will come out soon of the new government's plans but Ntoto it seems has been retaken by the workers and now stands for its people! Long live the Workers of Ntoto!

Birom Orders all Farmland to be seized and Collectivized, First Steps toward True Realistic Socialism!!! Western Businesses Also Seized and Collectivized!!!


Ntoto Farmers will now be able to work for better wages with new Collectivization

Kiego, Ntoto
January 12th 4893

Glorious Comrades!!! Today President Birom issued orders that the Workers could finally take back control over farming in Ntoto. He ordered the systematic collectivization of all farmland in Ntoto. This means that large farming corporations that have used Ntoto people for years will be stomped out. Foreign companies controlling Ntoto's farming industry will be over. Exceptions to collectivization will be personal gardens no less than an acre in size. These steps will start Socialism from the ground up and start in Ntoto's largest industry which is farming. The People's Farming Bureau will decide where new farming communes will be placed and where collectivized farming blocs will take place. In a statement to all the comrades of Ntoto today President Birom said

Socialism is key to our survival. It is clear to me that we must start at the beginning and work out way up from there. Ntoto will follow the ideology laid out by the true father of the revolution, Kaminski. One of the most important aspects to our success in Terra is the establishment of all capitalist money hungry farms in Ntoto. Ntoto is just taking the first steps toward a true Socialist state, one where the people are truly free.

Other major news came 2 months ago when Ntoto's government changed. The formation of 2 Worker's assemblies will keep the Presidential power in check. Each worker of these assemblies will select workers from the populous every 6 months. Also Western Businesses of all kinds in Ntoto will also be collectivized soon as well. This is part of Ntoto's policy of stomping out Western Imperialism from Ntoto completely. For Ntoto it is moving ahead toward a brighter bigger brighter future.

     Embattled President Ndala will not run for re-election
     22 December 5358

President Kamwanya Ndala has announced his intention not to contest next year's election after accusations of corruption surfaced against him earlier this year, in a statement to assembled reporters at the presidential palace. The President, who denies all alleged illegal activity, said he could not 'govern effectively' while the Department of Justice continued its investigations into the claims. The President is accused by opposition-affiliated media site Ntotonews.com of accepting bribes in the form of luxury gifts, in exchange for favourable mining rights being granted to private contractors in Bonde-Okda state.

Ndala is a member of the Ntoto People's Democratic Party (NPDP) but not its leader. The NPDP is led officially by former President Mudilu Kabasele, who could not run for the presidency in the last election due to term limits. Kabasele remains the public face of the party and is eligible to run again next year, as Ntoto only forbids three consecutive terms and not non-consecutive terms. Kabasele has already used this rule to complete two presidencies: one from 5324 to 5334 and one from 5339 to 5349. At 82, he could become the oldest president in Ntoto's modern history if he ran again.

The main opposition party, the Alternative Union for the Republic (AUR), is led by Kabasele's arch-rival Ndomba Musedi - who is 79. Popular in the north, Musedi has run for the presidency eight times but won just once. Due to the nature of Ntoto's politics, the NPDP enjoys overwhelming support in the south which is more populous than the AUR's heartlands. Both parties are broadly centre-right and conservative. With corruption allegations fresh in voters' minds, some believe this could be Musedi's best chance to re-enter power against his controversial nemesis.

Some smaller parties exist, including the center-left Social Labour Party (SLP), which has some support in Kiego, and the Change & Emancipation Coalition (CEC) which has just one seat and aims to cut across ethnic divides - but is mainly supported by Ntoto's often-persecuted "pygmy" minority. The electoral system grants each state several constituencies based on its population, with each constituency electing three members proportionally. Few states are competitive and most vote overwhelmingly for the NPDP or the AUR.

     Musedi narrowly elected but AUR falls short of majority
     22 December 5359

80-year-old political heavyweight Ndomba Musedi has been elected President of Ntoto in a narrow victory over his arch-rival, former President Mudilu Kabasele. Musedi was president between 5334 and 5339 and has faced Kabasele in five other elections - but had never beaten him directly. Polls and pundits had roundly predicted another victory for Kabasele and his Ntoto People's Democratic Party (NPDP), but it now seems like the NPDP will lose much of its congressional representation and be without power in Kiego.

The resignation of President Kamwanya Ndala under suspicion of corruption, as well as Musedi's surge in the ethnically diverse state of Owaba, have been offered as explanations for the unexpected electoral outcome. Politics in Ntoto is deeply divided by geography and ethnicity, with Musedi receiving overwhelming support in the north and Kabasele's strength resting mostly in the southwest. Musedi's narrow election victory may yet be contested, but Ntoto has had consistently peaceful transfers of power since the turn of the century. Musedi's agenda includes infrastructure investment in the north and increased cooperation with foreign business, which the President-elect says will bring prosperity to underdeveloped regions in the country's interior.

An important counterbalance to the new President's agenda will be the surprise success of the centre-left Social Labour Party (SLP), which won a record fourteen seats. Their support was overwhelmingly concentrated in Kiego and other major cities and was strongest among young people. The rise of a third force in Ntoto's political scene could herald major changes, as the SLP pushes for women's rights, more funding for education, and support for the unemployed. Without a congressional majority, Musedi must navigate delivering his agenda with uncertain support from the crossbench.

     President Musedi declares Bonde-Okda 'development zone'
     13 July 5361

President Musedi has signed into law the creation of a new development zone in the state of Bonde-Okda. The zone will have certain special provisions meant to encourage investment and economic growth, including lower taxes, less regulation, and more government support for foreign investors. Musedi was joined by several local leaders, who thanked the President for his hard work in ensuring a better future for Bonde-Okda.

Bonde-Okda is the largest state in Ntoto but also the least populous. Sharing a long border with Statrica, it has historically been inhabited by the pygmy peoples but has a reputation for ethnic diversity. Despite its lack of population and poor infrastructure, it is one of the most resource-rich regions on the continent. It is home to some of the largest copper deposits in the world, which have been under-exploited due to a lack of foreign support and overbearing regulation.

The local people of the region have long struggled with poverty under the presidencies of Kamwanya Ndala and Mudilu Kabasele, with low growth and low investment becoming endemic. Under new President Musedi, however, the mineral-rich region has new tools to better itself. Already the Foreign Affairs Ministry has announced at least four foreign companies have enquired about taking advantage of the zone to set up mining operations, signalling a positive response from the international business community.

     Government cracks down on "Fish Hook" cult
     3 September 5362

Government officials have announced measures against a growing cult centered around disappeared former Cildanian Prime Minister, A. Azzarà - better known as "Fish Hook". Propagation of cult beliefs or possession of material in support of its aims will be punishable by a fine and a warning, while officials say they are looking for two tribal leaders for official police questioning.

The politician disappeared after losing re-election more than a decade ago, but the modern cult seems to be a new phenomenon. According to Ifi Ayoro, an expert in tribal culture at Kiego University, Azzarà, who is presumed dead, has mysteriously garnered a large following among the pygmy people of Bonde-Okda state. With increasing encroachment from mining companies, Professor Ayoro states many locals believe the enigmatic Cildanian politician can bestow magical powers upon them to ward off evil spirits and ill-meaning foreigners. Ayoro further states that Azzarà's infamously deformed left-hand matches local pygmy legends about a saviour from a far-away island who would reconnect their tribal line to the spirit world.

Though currently at low levels in terms of influence and support, local officials have been worried that the cult could create further tension in the ethnically and politically divided region. Bonde-Okda has been declared a 'development zone' in a bid to attract foreign investment, but an unnamed company recently backed out of an agreement after one of its surveyors was accosted by local people bearing a statuette of the former Cildanian PM.
