President says he will stop National Assembly
September 4786

The President said that he will stop anyone who tries to pass a bill that is not a part of his ideology, saying that these are "bad" and harm the country. Tran Doc Quang said that he will stop anyone passing any bills that are not "part of his ideology, as I am the President."

The Democratic Party, a centre party, said that this is "very bad, we are losing our democracy." They said that the President is being as bad as the Communists, and said that they think he should stop, or they will vote against him, and make him get kicked out of the Presidency.

National Assembly privatizes industry

The National Assembly has privatized alot of industry, as they said it "made a loss and made Kimlien's economy terrible." They privatized Kimlien's energy sector, and also their steel works. These will hekp the economy grow, and will also help make the economy less communist.

The Royalist Party and Kimlien Right are both economically liberal, although the Royalists want to regulate some things more than the KR, but they are regulating the energy sector and the steel works.

More privatisation
April 4801

The government has continued privatisation, privatising a lot of healthcare, though they have still kept public healthcare. They also privatised research facilities, selling them off, with the previous research still there, to various organisation that have lobbied the government for this.

Some scientists have said that this is not a good idea, as the organisations will use the research facilities for profit more than for the public good, and have said that the research should stay in the hands of the public sector. However, the Premier Tran Minh Nguyen said that the market should be able to help research, and saying that the free market is good for helping the public. He also said that they'll have more incentives to do well in research, as they will possibly make a profit from it so they will want to do as much as they can, and as well as they can to maximise their profit.

President resigns
October 4801

The President, Tran Doc Quang, has resigned today, and his successor will be voted for by the National Assembly. He resigned because he said that the thinks "the country needs a new face", and that he is too old to do much. He also said that the acting President will be his deputy. He also said that the Premier will stay, as he cannot remove him, and "would not if I had the choice."

The 500 member Assembly will vote for the President later today. It is expected that he will be a member of the Royalist Party and his deputy will be a member of the Kimlien Right, as those two parties are in a coalition government together. The Deputy Premier is also a member of the Kimlien RIght.

New president chosen
November 4801

The new President of Kimlien has been chosen. It is Nguyen Than Quang, a member of the Royalist Party. He was elected with 327 votes to 173 votes, and was confirmed as the President by the National Assembly. His deputy was a member of the Kimlien Right.

Mr Quang said that this is a "great day, and I will help to make Kimlien a place where people and business can thrive. We will get rid of all this communist legacy, and make sure that we are an open country now, and democratic. We will make Kimlien a place where people want to invest in, and want to live. Not a place where people are scared to come or scared to support a political ideology, because they may be arrested because of it."

President announces plan to buy more 3M shares
March 4803

The President has announced that he plans to buy more 3M shares, in an attempt to liberalise the economy much more, bringing more private companies and enlarging the private sector. Mr Nguyen Quang Thang announced this in a speech to the National Assembly, which has no communists anymore, in which he announced that he wishes to "sweep away Communism once and for all."

He said that he is planning to enter into negotiations with 3M to buy more shares, which the government will then sell to Kimlien Investments, a private company, which, by law, is not able to sell 3M shares without the company's permission, after a law passed by the National Assembly when Kimlien Investments was set up. The National Assembly has signalled their approval, with the motion "this assembly approves of expanding 3M health services in Kimlien" passing by 468-0 votes, with 32 abstaining. The Premier and his cabinet also reportedly approve of this, saying that they think the move is "a great way to get our economy back on track and liberalise it."

The government is known to be a fan of free markets, and all other parties support economic liberalisation, albeit with differing views of levels of regulation. This has happened after many government owned companies were sold off to private companies, and the government also announced huge grants of 10,000 KIM to be given to businesses to help them start up, and also huge corporation tax cuts. There were only a few opponents of this who said it was "too fast" and said that capitalism should be "phased in." However the government disagreed with this.

Royalists win election again
September 4803

The Royalist-Kimlien Right coalition has won the general election again, winning 260 seats out of 500 between them, 210 for the Royalist and 50 for the KR. The leader of the Royalists, Tranh Minh Nguyen, has said that he takes this as a sign of victory for Royalism and also for economic liberalism and capitalism. The President is set to retire next year in order for the coronation of the King.

The government has said that they will be continuing with economic liberalisation and also plan to remove some police powers, such as being able to arrest people with no charge and imprison them for 90 days without charge, which they say take away civil liberties and can be used for political reasons, making them "a bad idea" and saying they are "obsolete." They are also removing high ranking members of the police force, who they claim were "political appointments" and bringing in new professional appointments. They are also apparently kicking out communist police officers, as some of these are still left over from the communist reign.

The Royalist Party are also libertarians, so it is likely that they will roll back the state, though they are known to be tough on law and order, despite the reduction of police powers, though this is necessary. They disagree with the Kimlien right on legalising abortions, which they have promised to do, but it is likely that they will pass the abortion law, which allows abortions up to 20 weeks, with the help of the Democrats, another pro-choice and liberal centrist party. It is likely that they could go into coalition with the Democrats if necessary, as they share many ideologies. They are centre-right, so are close to the Democrats. However, the Democrats are more social democratic, and many say the reason that the Royalists went into coalition with the KR is so that they could pass through their economic liberalisation bills more quickly, as some of the measures are dissaproved of by the Democrats, including de-regulation and less government intervention in the economy.

King's coronation
March 4805

The King has been coronated today. King Quan Doc Than was crowned today in a lavish ceremony, with many politicians attending, including the Premier and outgoing President, whose position will now become obsolete due to the return of the Monarchy. The Monarch is shown to be extremely popular with Kimlien, with 86% approval in one poll, suggesting that, even on lowest ratings, it is well above 50% if the highest is that high.

The King thanked everyone for their attendance, and official appointed the Premier and his Cabinet after the ceremony, as is now the Monarch's ceremonial duty. Many people turned out at the King's celebration, with some who remember the Monarchy being present, though they were very old and couldn't not celebrate too much. The streets were lined with people waving flags and cheering the king, and giving him gifts of coins and flowers, some of which he took gratefully, giving the others to the celebrating people, who eagerly took them.

Overall, the coronation was a huge success, with many people enoying it and proving a day of national unity. It has also, apparently, "simplified politics" in the name of the Premier, who said that he is glad the Monarch is back as a "representative of national unity and of how great our nation is."
