DORVISH COMMUNIST PARTY JOINS THE VOLKSEINHEIT!
Negotiations have reached an end between members of the Popular Unity and the Dorvish Communist Party and an integration has been confirmed!
May 4457

With the coming election of December 4458, tensions in the Left have been high. On one side, the Workers Socialist Party and the New Green Communist Party decided that a new coalition, the Volkseinheit, would prove to be beneficial in the coming elections, however, the Dorvish Communist Party at first decided not to join. However, with the nearing elections, negotiations were opened once more and the DKP has now become an official member of the Popular Unity, essentially uniting the Left in Dorvik. Members of the Dorvische Blaue Kalifat Partei and the Vereinigte Bewegung der Regionen have not yet made any public moves to attack or defend the new giant, and the coming elections seem uncertain. Will the Volkseinheit, with the strength of their new allies, win? Or against all odds, a possible united Right may rise from nowhere to take Presidency?

Adolphus Mitler proclaims the creation of a new party
Adolphus Mitler has created the Pioniere der Menschen party. Newspaper "Der Arbeiter und die Nation" is founded
April 4458
Image
Pictured above: A cartoon drawn by Adolphus Mitler, portraying members the Dorvische Blaue Kalifat party as rats.
A new political party has set its eyes on the political landscape of Dorvik. The Pioniere der Menschen party was organized by Adolphus Mitler, son of the now defunct ex-president Rudolf Mitler. Following the ideals of his father, Adolphus published a manifiesto in the newspaper "Der Arbeiter und die Nation". The manifiesto made multiple claims, such as Dorvik being a dying nation, the invasion of capitalism and the state supporting invasive and parasitic international corporations.

In Der Arbeiter und die Nation, Adolphus made a few claims regarding the current state of Dorvik. "The Dorvische Blaue Kalifat Party is the biggest parasite to yet infest our homeland, replacing the Hosian ideals of peace and charity with typical Ahmadist characteristics such as oppression and inequality. We should kick these parasites out before they suck all of our blood. International capitalism cares little for the well being of the Dorvish citizen, instead, it seeks to transform our nation into a consumist hell. That's why the Pioniere der Menschen exist, to protect our nation against these capitalist Vermins, to safeguard our families, traditions and workers."

The other parties have yet to pronounce their approval or disapproval of the ideals of the Pioniere der Menschen party. The only thing that is clear for now is that the Dorvische Blaue Kalifat is the prime enemy of the Pioniere der Menschen.

A NEW MEMBER IN THE VOLKSEINHEIT! PIONIERE DER MENSCHEN UNITE UNDER THE RED AND BLUE BANNER!
Dorvik's newest party, the Pioniere Der Menschen, has just been accepted into the Volkseinheit
April 4458

With the coming elections, the Left has seen a collective effort not seen in a very long time ever since the Volkseinheit was formed by the Workers Socialist Party and the New Green Communist Party. However, one thing was missing: conservatism in the Left.

With the coming of a new party, the Pioniere Der Menschen (Pioneers of the People), plenty of conservative and traditionalist supporters of the Left are finally seeing recognition in politics and the announcement of the integration of this party almost secures a victory for the new alliance. Moreover, Destina Ruhr, ASP's presidential candidate, has decided to step down and give Adolphus Mitler, the PM's presidential candidate the honour of being the first socialist president after the iron-fisted rule of the All-Dorvischer Verband that saw the illegalization of the Left in Dorvik. Most of the Volkseinheit's political program has already been set out, and cabinet positions are being discussed between the members. For good or for bad, it seems very likely that the return of socialism into Dorvik will become a reality in the coming elections.

THE VOLKSEINHEIT WINS THE ELECTIONS. ADOLPHUS MITLER ASSUMES PRESIDENCY
The newly elected president proclaims that Dorvik will reach "A new golden age, with prosperity and equality for Dorvik"
Image
Pictured above: Adolphus Mitler speaking to the press.
The elections have been a success, The volkseinheit won with a majority of 81%. The amount of power that the left has regained in Dorvik will surely lead to a new era of Socialism, like the socialist republic that once used to rule over Dorvik.

Adolphus Mitler has confirmed to the press that the Volkseinheit is working on a total reform of the economy and constitution of Dorvik, and that his party, the Pioniere der Menschen, will strictly follow its ideals of cooperation and tradition.

The right wing parties haven't pronounced themselves yet, but it seems that during the Federal republic and after, the right has been weaker and weaker as time goes on.

A new step towards socialism
The Volkseinheit and the Pioniere der Menschen have announced that Dorvik will begin its first stage towards socialism.
April 4461
Image
Pictured above: Adolphus Mitler in the streets of Haldor, making a public statement about the changes that Dorvik will experience.
The First reformation period has been announced by the Volkseinheit. Left-wing parties, united under the flag of the Volkseinheit, will lead the transition towards the first stage of the socialist revolution. The Dorvish transitional Republic will be the new name of the Dorvisch Republik, however, the first reformation period is not only a name change. Every citizen in Dorvik will now be allowed to vote, along with that, the nobles in our country will be stripped away of their titles.

"We are going to secure a free Dorvik for all, by using peace and democracy we will achieve the equality that everyone has strived for" Proclaimed Adolphys Mitler, president of the republic.

The Pioniere der Menschen have also made an invitation for everyone in Dorvik to visit Haldor in December 4461, to watch live the proclamation of the new republic and after its proclamation, Adolphus Mitler will perform a speech to commemorate the step towards Socialism that Dorvik is performing. This will be accompanied by a military parade, showcasing the military of the nation and their loyalty to the new Dorvik.

CREATION OF THE DORVISCHE ÜBERGANG REPUBLIK! A VICTORIOUS VOLKSEINHEIT!
The First Reformation Period has been passed as in now in full effect in Dorvik and nothing is heard from the Right.
February 4462
Image
Above: Flag of the Dorvish Transitional Republic

The Volkseinheit and the State Council has just passed the Erste Reformationszeit (First Reformation Period), which means the Dorvish Republic of old is no more and has been transformed into the new Dorvish Transitional Republic. Dorvish citizens are rejoicing in the streets and members of the Volkseinheit look pleased with their achievement and the official end to the All-Dorvischer Verband's iron-fisted rule is over in the country. This reform will change many vital points in the Dorvish Constitution, but some of the most important ones are the reestablishment of citizenship for all Dorvish citizens and the transformation of the State Council into the Council of the People which will, according to members of the Volkseinheit, bring a much-needed representation for the lower and middle classes in Dorvik. They have, also, talked about the duration of the transitional government, which will later revise the Constitution in its entirety and transform Dorvik into Communism and Anarchism.

However, some celebrations turned into massive riots where the police force had to try to contain the enormous numbers of citizens, but nothing could be done. Dorvik saw celebrations for an entire week, and Kordusia, the epicentre of anarchism and socialism in Dorvik, was engulfed in sometimes too violent celebrations. Celebrations which Destina Ruhr, President of the Syndicates and possible presidential candidate of the Volkseinheit, was part of.

Image
Above: Destina Ruhr speaking to a group of citizens, Haldor

We have finally regained our place in Dorvik after being persecuted for over 20 years for believing in freedom and equality for you, the people! With the help of our comrades in the PM and the DKP, we have finally established a new socialist state and our percentage in the Congress proves you, our citizens, wish to see the changes we want to bring forward. The Right can always try to keep us silent and servile, but we always come back to fight for liberty! Break the Chains! For a Bright and Red Future for Dorvik!


Although most of the Right has been extremely silent regarding the changes being made to the country, the Vereinigte Bewegung der Regionen, the only centre-right winged party with representation in the Congress, has proposed a return to privatization and a capitalist economy in Dorvik. However, most agree that there is no possibility for this bill to pass since the Volkseinheit controls the legislative assembly in its entirety.


What will these changes mean for Dorvik's history? Does this mean the Popular Unity has finally managed to reach their goals and a new era in Dorvish history is about to come? Or will these radical changes bring back the militant Right and a possible return of something similar like the All-Dorvischer Verband? Only time will tell.

Communists Lose Parliamentary Majority, Presidency
December 4468

Image
Above: President Guy-Karl Kieffer

Haldor, Kordusia - In a major moment in the history of the Dorvish nation-state, the communist-oriented government of the Dorvish Transitional Republic has suffered a major blow as it lost both the Presidential election and its majority Council of the People. The results have seriously put in jeapourdy the existance of the DTR and now seems extremely likely that many if not all of the communist and socialist economic policies put in place by the late regime will be reversed by a VBR-PLD capitalist majority. A cabinet that gives the VBR Head of Government and splits the other important ministries is thought to be close to beginning the confirmation process.

Detailed Results Analysis:

In the Presidential election, three candidates ran: Guy-Karl Kieffer of the PLD; Markus Heinrich Satzler of the VBR; the incumbent president Adolphus Mitler of the PDM. Adolphus Mitler, who has been President since December 4458 and was running for a third term, lost and came in third place with just 9.7 million votes and 17% of the vote. Markus Heinrich Satzler might have been considered a strong contender due to his party's Council performance, but he came second with 18 million votes and 32% of the vote. Wiping away both of those, and gaining over 50% of the vote - nullifying the need for a second round, was Guy-Karl Kieffer of the PLD. 28.4 million votes (that's 51% of all votes cast in said election) was enough to give him a first-round victory that was won through appealing to the centre and moderates, a winning coalition that led him to massively outperform his party's Council performance.

In the Council election, the VBR became the largest party with 62 seats, up 30, with 16.8 million votes (30%). Second came the NGKP with 45 seats, down just one, with 12.6 million votes (23%). Third came the other capitalist party, the new PLD, who got 43 seats from scratch with 11.9 million votes (22%). Fourth, the PDM - the party of deselected President Adolphus Mitler - stands now at 28, down a shocking 37 seats, with 7.7 million votes (14%). The DKP went up 8 but are only the smallest party with 22 seats drawn from 6.4 million votes (12%). Kordusia and Westmark have NGKP governors, Largonia and Dorvan have VBR governors, the PDM is governor in Miktar. The VBR-PLD national coalition also has a 41-out-of-80 majority in the devolved Sudish parliament.

Kieffer: Dorvik "Must Reclaim" Place On World Stage
March 4471

Image
Above: President Guy-Karl Kieffer


The President of Dorvik, Guy-Karl Kieffer, has said that after the transformation of Dorvik back from a socialist to a capitalist economy has finished, Dorvik must look abroad to secure its place on the world stage again. He has stated that he aims to rebuilt the Dorvish military - an issue on which he is working with Defence Minister Eugenie Wagener - and to have Dorvik take a much more "serious and firm" role in the Security Council and Northern Council. He also says that he is working with Foreign Affairs Minister Roland Mullenbach as well as Wagener on a "Developing Countries Investment Program", which would see friction-less trade between Dorvik and third world countries that chose to sign on. It would allow the expansion of Dorvish businesses into the third world, and lead to the creation of "highly paid jobs" in Dovani and Vascania. Some socialists worry this could lead to exploitation of these countries by big business.

Under Kieffer's administration, major economic returns have been implemented in Dorvik. Stock exchanges are back up and running, and most banks have been privatised. Supporters of the government site a growing economy and increasing wages as having been caused by said reforms, but detractors say the economy has lost some of its stability. The stock exchanges in Dorvik have only gone up and up, opening at 1,000 at flotation and now moving to upwards of 15,000. Meanwhile, investment in small businesses has started tens of thousands of new start-ups - though socialist economics point out that a lot of these are not employing many people or staying very solidly afloat. Meanwhile, the selling off of government industries has created a large amount of capital the Dorvish government is using to regulate new programs designed at protecting consumers against misuse of the newly privatised businesses.

Kieffer, however, served for a large portion of his life in the Dorvish military. He says that Dorvik "must be a respected force on the world stage to really improve Terra". He has talked openly about trade across the ocean to Vascania, which he calls a "massively important, developing economy". Trade deal talks with Vascania are currently under way, with reports circulating that thousands, if not tens of thousands, of middle-class jobs could be created through improved trade with Vascania. Low tariffs could also see Dorvish consumers paying less for goods like tea, sugar and chocolate. Several supermarket-chain CEOs have said that they are "confident prices can be dropped soon if a trade deal is organised", which is good news for consumers. While capitalist economists say this will cause re-investment in the economy, socialist economists say that the economy of Dorvik is now entering a phase of high risk.

Former Union leader Schmit to enter politics
June 4473

Frm. Union Leader Johann Schmit during '70 Bike Strike

Haldor, Kordusia - Johann Schmit, popular because of his time as chairman of the Dorvische Gewerkschaftsbund (Dorvish Trade Union), has announced the birth of Dorvik's newest political party: Allianz '73. In a surprising press conference earlier this day, Schmit and his right-hand man Heinrich von Mierlo, editor of the Haldorische Allgemeine Zeitung, published the party's first manifesto and its shadow cabinet. Notable is the fact that the shadow cabinet is especially pluriform: the document mentions several renowned Social-Democrats, Liberals and Conservatives, some of whom defected from other parties.

The success of Schmit's catch-all approach is to be seen, however, as his party seems to be ideologically confused and rudderless at times. When asked about his party's stability, Schmit said that
Dorvik needs a new people's party which resolves around cooperation and not senseless polarisation. Discussion is the backbone of my party and my shadow cabinet represents this. Time will tell whether it is a sound formula or not.
