Bellevue-sur-Mer Bonfire Night
Posted: Tue Sep 25, 2018 1:02 am
In the small city of Bellevue-sur-Mer in Alduria, Noumons Abroad, an organisation dedicated to representing and helping expatriates from Noumonde, is hosting a fundraising event in the form of a Bonfire Night, inspired by other similar Bonfire Night events around Terra, such as the Weinsedorf Bonfire Night in Dorvik.
At the culmination of the evening's festivities, an unpopular public figure will find himself or herself chucked on the bonfire and incinerated. In effigy, of course.
Noumons Abroad have drawn up a list of 10 candidates, and invited the public across Terra to use phone voting to decide who should be tossed into the flames. Calls will cost 2 Aldurian Dollars each, and all proceeds will go to Noumons Abroad.
The candidates are as follows:
- Karl Joachin Biggelswerd, the former Dorvish President who received a visit from the Prophet Akim in a dream and then controversially strove to establish an Ahmadi Caliphate in his mainly Hosian country.
- Remy Blanchard, Noumonde's military ruler who came to power in a recent coup and has courted international outrage ever since for his treatment of his country's Malgy population.
- Alexis Chéron, the ambitious President of the newly-formed Canrillaise Federation, which is believed to have aspirations to becoming a global superpower.
- Heijinoju Jeztrisrmko Megàmotojokai, billionaire and colourful heir to the Jelbék Bank of the World who has previously run for the position of World Congress General Assembly President.
- King Julien XIII, the entertainer-in-a-lemur suit who has not stopped complaining ever since World Congress bosses blocked his his bold bid for the General Assembly President position.
- Lakshmi "the Black", Kalkalistan's infamous she-devil who brutalised her own people. She has fallen from power now and fled, although it is not known whether she is still alive. Even now, years later, superstitious Kalkali living in the villages are said to be terrified she might one day return to wreak oppression and vengeance upon them.
- Thomas Rousseau, Alduria's former Maréchal who viciously turned on Alduria's Majatrans and Luthoris, took away the civil rights of his citizens, alienated the world community and then blamed the inevitable international backlash on "international Yeudry".
- Manosindus Von Thaller, quasi-fascist military dictator of Zardugal, popularly tipped as the Terra "bad boy" most likely to trigger the next international stir.
- Grozdano Theodorido, Zardugal's blood-soaked Imperia Majoro, widely held responsible for the Zardic attack on Cobura and the ensuing ethnic cleansing of Mallans.
- Miroslav Válek, the loathsome communist who seized power in Deltaria and for a while seemed on the verge of exporting his communist ideology all across Terra.
