Hard-Liner Freedom Party Triumphs In Rapa Pile Election

As the final votes were counted in the Republic of Rapa Pile, it emerged clear that out of the 299 seats in the House of Councillors, at least 170 would be won by the Freedom Party (known locally as Nidahas Pakṣaya) and that the Presidency would be won by Shanika Addararachchi of the Freedom Party. Addararachchi garnered nearly 4 million votes out of a possible 6.1 million voters. The small island nation has historically been governed almost exclusively by the Socialist (Samājavādī Pakṣaya) and National (Jātika Pakṣaya) parties since independence, the former being left-wing economically and centrist socially and the latter being economically centre-right and socially centre-left. Both ideologies fell before the far-right NP.

Addararachchi's victory was unexpected, especially considering the incumbent Socialist President, Vijay Attygalle, having approval ratings in the high 60s. However, Addararachchi won on a platform of hunting pirates, who have historically hurt the nation's economy and reputation. Her first act as leader, she promised during the campaign to a crowd in the village of Amatakavūkanda, would be to order soldiers to kill all pirates found immediately - added to another promise of tripling the nation's expenses on military and police ministries. It was villages like Amatakavūkanda - population 170 - that brought her to victory. Her rural vote margin was around 96%, and Amatakavūkanda voted for her unanimously.

Rapa Pile's new President will be sworn in next month, but it is already certain that her divisive style of politics will bring more international attention to the often-forgotten islands. Addararachchi is Rapa Pile's first female president, but she is anything but inclusive. It is thought that Gao-Showans and Indralans could bare the brunt of her expected extortionate activities devised to pay for the massive increases in national spending. 'Ethnic taxation' was one idea floated by a new member of the House of Councillors. Another was taking over and cutting up properties owned by the wealthy. Addararachchi's party compromises the entirety of the authoritarian spectrum, and that support is nowhere near dead.

Rapa Pile Government Doubles Budget On Coast Guard

Image

Following their electoral victory, the new government of Rapa Pile has proposed their first national budget. In it, the budgets on the coast guard, army and navy were more than doubled, and over 10,000 civilians were recruited to the navy and police via a lottery. This approach to selecting new public servants has been criticised, but many more civilians have volunteered to join, and the public is whipped up into an anti-pirate frenzy. The Foreign Minister of Rapa Pile, Hashni Abeynaike, has said that the military will not be mobilised against any other nations or sovereign states, but has confirmed that upwards of 1,000 pirates have been arrested by the government, and another 120 have been executed.

There are concerns that the lack of due process in the new government's legal system, which was reformed earlier this year to make prosecution of pirates easier, will lead to innocent people potentially being arrested and even executed. The government has stated clearly that it continues to have a 'fair and judicial' system of justice, and that all potential pirates that may be executed will have 'extremely fair trials'. Support for the government's actions has been high, between 69% and 78% amongst Rapa Pile pollers. The Minister of Justice, Lasindu Vimukthi, has defended the actions of the increasingly controversial government and has pointed to the epidemic of piracy as justification for extreme measures.

The government has turned down attempts to get pirate leaders to discuss with the government, repeating their election motto: "they are not of us", or in Pilese "ovun apa novē". This rejection of the humanity of the pirates has lead certainly to fears, but has also lead to international support of the government for solving its piracy problem. Rates of piracy in Rapa Pile have gone way down, as talk of the "Addararachchipocolypse" has spread. The President of Rapa Pile, Shanika Addararachchi, has personally ordered the construction of many new vessels for the country's fleet and coast guard, including a 'Nidahas Class' battleship styled after plans for the Indra battleship of Dorvik that the Pilese got their hands on.

MERCAHNTS WON, REORGANIZATION EXPECTED

RAPA, RAPA PILE - The Merchant and Liberal Party (known locally as Vanikar Marrum Liparal Katci) won 203 seats from the 299-member House of Councillors, the legislative assembly of the Republic of Rapa Pile. Nihil Jayatilleka (also merchant-liberal) won the presidential election, and he promised that he will be the last President of the Republic of Rapa Pile.

The merchant-liberals often promised that they will reorganize the state of Rapa Pile, and they will create the new republican regime in the country based on maritime trade. The 'ancient' Freedom Party (known locally as Nidahas Paksaya) what governed the country before the elections for hundreds of years, earned the other 96 seats. The Councillors of the conservative Freedom Party fear from crime and the 'rule of the mob'. They against the reorganization of the state. Anyway, if the merchant-liberals want this, the reorganization will be held. Maybe this February days at 4751 will be the last days of the Republic of Rapa Pile.

NEW CONSTITUTION OF RAPA PILE ACCEPTED!
THE GOLDEN REPUBLIC BORN

At March, 4751, the House of Councillors dissolved itself with 203 'yes' and 96 'no' votes, but before the dissolution, it formed the Constituent Assembly with the mission of creating a new constitution for the country. In five days, the Constituent Assembly created the new constitution, what reorganized the Republic of Rapa Pile.

We, the elected members of the Constituent Assembly created this Constitution with the spirit of Liberty and Equality, with the traditions of our Ancestors and with the ism of Democracy and Republic. This is the Supreme Law of the Land of Rapa Pile, this is above all citizens of the Country.

After the basic changes, the Constituent Assembly reorganized the political system of Rapa Pile. This system was become more bureaucratic, more difficult.

2. Politics
- The state is ruled by the Triumvirate what contain the Clerk of the Republic as head-of-state-for-foreigners, the Clerk of the Military as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, and the Clerk of Public Affairs as the chairman of the government, the Institution of Deciders.

- The legislature contain two houses. The upper house is called Meeting of Merchants what contain 80 seats, the lower house is called Meeting of Majority and contain 800 seats.
- The Meeting of Merchants is meritocratic, not elected. The 80 most richest merchants and company leaders are selected for this. The selection based on wealth and tax. The Meeting of Merchants have the Veto against the choices of the Meeting of Majority.
- The Meeting of Majority is elected for ten years by the People directly. The Meeting of Majority have the right to appoint the Triumvirate and the Institution of Deciders. Further, it have the right to make laws if the upper house don't veto the bills.


The new Constitution speak about the citizenry, too.

3. Citizenry
- Everybody citizen of the Golden Republic of Rapa Pile who have nationality and older than 12 years.
- Every citizen have the right to vote on the general elections.
- The right to vote is secret, direct, equal and general.
- In the official documents the 'Mr' and 'Mrs or Ms' invocation is avoided. Instead this the 'Citizen' is used.


The next article is about the regions.

4. Regional Administration
- There are three regions of the Golden Republic based on three cities; Rapa Region based on the city of Rapa, Datungu Region based on the city of Datungu and New Nago Region based on the city of New Nago;
- The capital city the Golden Republic is the city of Rapa in the Rapa Region;
- The local governors are the Regional Clerk and the local governments are the Regional Meetings;
- The Regional Meetings elected by the people directly.


The last part of the Constitution is about the Justice.

5. Justice
- The Head of Justice is the Decider of Justice, who have the right to showing mercy and appointing Judges;
- The Attorney General is appointed by the Meeting of Majority with the Veto of the Meeting of Merchants;
- The members of the Constitutional Court is half elected by the public, and half appointed by the Triumvirate.
- The Judges appointed by the Head of Justice in a meritocratic way.

Signed by the eleven members of the Constituent Assembly,
what mandated by the House of Councillors of the Old Republic of Rapa Pile,
and what created the New Golden Republic of Rapa Pile.


With this the new state, the idea of the Merchant and Liberal Party come true. The people know when they elected the merchant-liberals that they will create the Golden Republic if they gain power to this. This is the mistake of the People or the merit of the People.

RAPA, RAPA REGION - After the absolute rule of the Constituent Assembly what lasted a month, the constituents let the People to elect their leaders, again. This will be the first election of the new Golden Republic. First, the citizens of the city of Rapa and its surroundings (with one word: Rapa Region) have the chance to elect their local and national leaders. The Electoral Law no allow the national, general elections; it separate the elections for a Rapa election, a Datungu election and a New Nago election. So, the national election always hold minimum three month. The local governor and local governments will be held their office directly after the elections, but the national leaders have to wait for the full results.

There is 4,325,122 people in the Rapa Region, from this 3,498,233 are citizen-who-elector. There was two candidates for the office of Regional Clerk; Viharagoda Jayakody (Freedom Party) and Atula Wimaladharma (Merchant and Liberal Party). Jayakody got the 39% of the votes, while Wimaladharma got the 61% of it. So the Regional Clerk of Rapa Region will be Atula Wimaladharma from the merchant-liberals. There is 100 seats in the Regional Meeting of Rapa Region, the local merchant-liberals got 41 seats, the local Freedom Party got 29 seats, the local, socialist Anti-Fascist Action (locally known as Antihpasist Atirati) got 19 seats, while the liberal conservative Golden Republican Party (locally known as Koltan Kutiyaracuk Katci) got 11 seats. Probably, the Merchant and Liberal Party and the Golden Republican Party will create a coalition in this region. The national electoral results of Rapa Region is unknown yet.

ELECTIONS AT MAY, 4751

There is 2,368,912 people in this region, from this 1,654,321 are citizen-who-elector. In this region the merchant-liberal candidate also defeated its rivals, and Gayan Banda will become the Regional Clerk of New Nago Region with the 82% of the votes. There is also 100 seats in the Regional Meeting, and surprisingly the local Anti-Fascist Action got 51 seats, so they will can locally governing New Nago. The Freedom Party got 19 seats, while the Golden Republican Party got 16, and the merchant-liberals got 14 seats.

The first partial, national electoral results are leaked in New Nago, allegedly the merchant-liberals leading, the anti-fascists the second, and the Golden Republicans and Freedom Party close to each other. There is nothing sure, especially because there will be a third elections in Datungu at June, 4751.
