OOC: This is all happening at the same time as the post above, I would say within the same week or within the same two weeks. We will official start to RP and kick things off this Sunday, so this is to just finish setting the stage for the main event.
President Declares Martial Law on the MainlandIn a statement to the nation today, President Martin St.Antonius sought and was given approval by the Parliament of the Second Darnussian Democratic Republic to declare Martial Law on the mainland Provinces of Darnussia, Alkavon and Kozaria. The president issued several reason for the declaration, but mostly it was due to the recent uprising in Red Stad, where Military and I.N.P.F. forces continue to battle their way into the northern half of the city. We have no reports on how the situation is being handled, but reports from other cities suggest that PRA propaganda is sparking uprising in several other towns, villages, minor cities and cities across the nation. With this Declaration of Martial Law, the military has been called into the capital city and other major cities across the mainland to keep order by any means necessary. I.N.P.F. have also been called out in full force, and it is rumored, but not confirmed, that arrest are being made throughout the mainland of anyone who is thought to be supporting the criminal uprising in Red Stad. At the same time, protestors have begun to assemble outside the Parliament building in protest to the Declaration. The I.N.P.F. nor the Military, have broken them up yet, but from online sources there are many who are calling for a mass demonstration in front of the Parliament building against the Government and its actions.
http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=319640Chancellor Warns Dorvik that Interfearing will be a Declaration of War Against the Nation of DarnussiaThe nation of Dorvik has declared that it will assist the criminals and traitors in Red Stad in their rebellion against our great and noble nation. This action prompted Chancellor, Anthony de Augustin, to address Parliament today on the situation and give a stern message to Dorvik:
"My fellow compatriots, today we have been told that we are being invaded by a fellow Artanian nation, who wishes to support the criminals and traitors who have taken out beloved city of Red Stad and turned it into a battle zone. They wish to support the traitors who have brought chaos and destruction to this great nation and have caused us to declare Martial Law on the mainland of our beloved nation. THIS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!!! Let me make this perfectly clear to the nation of Dorvik, that if they intervean in any manner what so ever, this nation will see it as a Declaration of War, and will take any actions that come along with such a declaration. Dorvik you have been warned!!!"
(Applause from the Government Benches)
Elections Held Despite Chaos, Government Shown to have the Mandate of the People!!!Even though the past few days and week have been filled with disorder and chaos, the government has promised and accomplished successfully elections througout much of the nation. With the islands not being under martial law, and the short lived uprising on them crushed, they have reported little disturbance with the process of the election. While the mainland, in contrast, has reported several issues pertaining to safety and the peoples’ ability to vote, along with violence in many cities. The capital is seems to be the only city where no problems were reported on the mainland.
The results of the election have shown a massive boost in support and a declaration by the people for the Government parties. With all Governorships, a massive boost in seats in the Parliament, and the retaining of the Presidential Offices for yet again another term by Martin St.Antonius. Chancellor Anthony de Augustin has stated that "This shows that the people believe that the Government is in the right and that they must continue to bring order back to the areas that have come under the control of traitors and criminals".
Online sources tell of a massive rally to take place by anti-government supporters who claim the election was a fraud, and that the results have been forced onto the people by the Fascist and Dictatorial parties of the government.
Parliament Burns to the Ground as the Capital city of Doressa erupts into Chaos Between the Left & RightA massive riot has taken place outside Parliament, even though the city is under Martial Law, between Right wing and Left wing supporters, over the elections, the uprisings, and the Declaration of Martial Law. The riots got out of hand and now the Parliament of Darnussia, the symbol of democratic pride and unity for the Republic has been burnt to the ground.
