James Tucker Sworn In As President Amid So Called "Ethnic Politics"

Posted Image

By William Boxtel


Bythasion- Today, James Tucker was sworn in as President of the United Republic of Litharova, unfortunately the first every Anigrisian president of Litharova brought into the office already "ethnic politics" some claim. Due to the elections in August, the two biggest parties which once again the Khoran People's Front and the Democratic Anigrisian Coalition, both have 79 seats, both are at political and ethnic odds, and one managed to make a coalition which may bring the other to the brink of war. In the State Assembly there are 499 seats, 400 elected off a proportional representation list, 99 from single seat districts using the ATV system, this due to how Angrisians and Khorans are split evenly in demographics and often hate to work with each other has resulted in periods where one group runs the government. Usually the mixed Khoterran group is the key, even the Khoterrans have ethnic hatreds to the other groups. For the past several decades after the Khoterran group emerged into mainstream demographics it mainly sided with the conservative Khorans, lately it has moved towards its Anigrisian brothers.

Why the sudden shift? The answer is simple, as Khoterrans began to be elected President instead of the normal Khoran the two Khoran parties( Khoran People's Front, and the Khoran Ultrasocialists) moved to extremist positions to argue that Khorans want autonomy. Meanwhile more Anigrisians were giving up a purity complex which had developed over the past few hundred due to the Khorans taking dominance in politics. As such, the Khoterrans moved to the left and helped go into national parties not ethnic parties to fill that void, so a steady stream of center-left parties had formed. This presented trouble as the State Assembly flointhusized into more parties, in fact one could argue that in a homogenous state that a government would be impossible.

Though, Litharova likes to surprise many, a grand coalition was created using DAC, LP, CAP, CU, KD. All of those parties except for the LP and KD are ethnic based parties for Khoterrans and Anigrisians. The current Speaker of the State Assembly of the Khoran People's Front had this to say before the next election for speaker, "The election for an Anigrisian President for the first time ever, and the creation of a coalition that excludes Khoran parties is the most racist move I have seen my entire life by the Khoterrans and Anigrisians. I do hope that they push for devolution or federal packages my party campaign for...or they may be problems for this nation," this comment recent backlash from across the spectrum including the little remaining KPF moderates.

President Tucker had this to say, "I hate the term Ethnic Politics to describe my first day in office, I was elected as an independent by 57.8% of the nations voters, and as the first Anigrisian President in Litharova I deserve the respect you gave the first Khoterran President. It is not a racist move by this populace, something which I feel everyone takes offense to. If you want your devolution packages, or federal packages, you must put away the racism that has plagued our nation and open up or else only exploitation will occur. Oh, and to point out before people call it a scandal, I will be alerting the Internal Intelligence Services about that problems comment and telling them to investigate you for the time being."

Some have heard reports of armed militants in southern Litharova, but these reports can not be verified at the moment. In other news, economic data shows that Anigrisian and Khorans economic divide worsens by L1,000.

JThation Social Republic Declared, Ethnic Chaos will soon Ensue

Posted Image

By William Boxtel


Bythasion- Today in Thation, armed extremists took the Provincial Administration Building, as well as the city and outlying towns. From what we have been able to gather from official government sources, Thation was taken on August 22nd, but the extremists held off declaring the Thation Social Republic for a few weeks due to logistical issues. The TSR spread quickly in southern Litharova before it was declared, it is believed to span from the northern coal mines, to the southern border, to the Imonda Sea, all the way to the Western desert. Currently roughly 7,345,735 people are believed to be under the states control.

President Tucker condemned the violence the TSR brought to southern Litharova. He stated that it did not have the unilateral right to secede as it would oppress minorities, specifically Khoterrans and Anigrisians. He also order the mobilization of the armed forces in preparation of retaking southern Litharova. Problems will be ready for him there, many have stated that public support may be high there with possible public support from foreign nations, though no known backers exist at the moment. More on the story as is develops.
