The Georgian Gazette Communist/Monarchist Compete for better race Tbilisi: Elections have come to the Georgia State and in doing so has both the Soviet Georgian Republic and the Kartli Principality fighting over who has the better election. Both nations have media outlets pumping out massive amounts of commercial airtime for campaign ads and reminders to get out an vote. Most likely this is a nationalist war, with both nations battling for the rights to say that their nations is more patriotic and nationalistic than the other. Should the Soviet Georgia win it would be a major boost for Communism period, allowing the Soviets to run campaign ads smearing the "evils" of monarchism and basically spitting in the Kartli's face. However, should the Kartli win not only will it be a victory for monarchism over communism, it will also help to prove they're case that they in fact are the more Georgian of the two nations. Regardless of who wins it should be a great accomplishment for both nations to be one of only a handful of Middle East nations which have and allow elections. It can only be hoped that elections such as this, though they may be limited in some degree over others, will continue on throughout this nation's history. When spoken about in local arcades, cafes, and other social gathering locations the general consensus from the kartli both young and old is that they are eagerly excited about the elections. What they can't agree on however, from one group to the next, is who to vote for. Many approve of the Konservatiuli Partia (The Conservative Party) and the policies they've enacted as the current majority party. With the Soviets claiming to be the true Georgians of Georgia, many have flocked to the Konservatiuli Partia and their policy of preserving their Georgian cultural heritage. The party reaffirms that they will continue this platform with some rumors that they may push for a change in the country's nation, to reflect their own Georgian heritage. Some Kartli however feel that the Konservatiuli Partia don't have the best interests in mind when it comes to the country, given their strict devotion to the monarchy,which makes the Demokratiuli Partia (Democratic Party) all the more appealing to these groups. As always the Demokratiuli Partia believes that the country should follow a more democratic path, one that does not necessarily mean a end to the monarchy but would see that the Prime Minister and other Ministers were chosen by the party which holds majority and not the Prince. However, another niche in the Kartli society feel that both the Konservatiuli Partia and the Demokratiuli Partia fail to assure or even make policy to assure the Karlti's security both from the Communists to the south as well as the new terrorist attacks that have in recent months put many on edge. Their choice is the Memarjvene Opozitsia (Right Opposition) which is a newly formed party of both kartli security officers as well as big business. In the minds of many Kartli they represent the physical and financial security they want to see in the coming years. In Soviet Georgia however, the atmosphere of elections is a bit different but that is not to say that it is any less anticipated by it's people that by those in the North. For the Soviets however, it isn't a choice of party since at the moment the Komunisturi Parti (Communist Party) is the only registered and running party in the state but more of a question of party member to be chairman. Though the ideology and principles will remain the same it is now a question of how to interpret and uses these principles to make Soviet Georgia a strong and honorable nation. Current Chairman Iosif Jugashvili is the incumbent and believes that Soviet Georgia is currently on the right track towards greatness. He is the most conservative of the candidates, believing that total control over the nation's industries is the only way to fully implement the Marxist-Leninist-Trotsky ideology that the party stands for. He believe a stronger educational system as well as a stronger military are also key to securing the country's future. What hurts Chariman Jugashvili's credibility is his movements towards a secular state, abolishing the current religious sects in Soviet Georgia, including the majority religion of Islam. Ala'eddin Emami-Kashani, current Commissar of Finance, feels differently from the chairman in both economic policy as well as on topics such as religion. Commissar Emami-Kashani feels that allowing private citizens to own some sectors of private business would be beneficial to the economy . He also feels that more emphasis should be placed on the state's religion, with the party formally adopting the majority religion, Shia Islam as the state recognized and sponsored religion. For these beliefs he is seen as the more liberal candidate. Finally the Soviets have a third party member to think about, Ahmad Reza Khatami Commissar of Labor and Commerce. Commissar Khatami agrees with both his rivals on certain issues, making him for some Georgians, a nice mix of both a conservative and liberal attitudes emerging in Soviet Georgia. For the conservatives, Commissar Khatami believes that the state of the economy and business is just fine, with complete control kept to the state. He does, however, agree with the liberals that Shia Islam should be more intergrated into the party and society given that it is the majority religion in the country. Though outside analyst report that there may be corruption in both nations as to the state of elections, most will agree that for a nation that has seen and continues to see so much violence and death, these elections are certainly a good sign for a more prosperious future.

The Georgian Gazette Communist Pull win through unity over Monarchist Tbilisi: With ballots counted and polls closed it would appear that the Communist of Soviet Georgia has won the contest of national patriotism and unity as the people of Southern Georgia have almost unanimously stood behind their new leader, Commissar of Finance Ala'eddin Emami-Kashani as he pulled a narrow victory over current chairman Iosif Jugashvili. Both Candidates were on hand at Commissar Emami-Kashani's celebration party with Chairman Jugshvili congratulating his opponent for his victory. "Though I course hoped the win, I am glad to see Commissar Emami-Kashani won" said Chairmain Jugshvili. "He is a long time friend of mine and I know that the honorable work he's done in the finance Commissariat will only continue on in the chairman's office." "I am very pleased to know the people of Soviet Georgia feel that I am the right man for the job" said Commissar Emami-Kashani during his speech to his supporter at his victory celebration. "I can assure the people of Soviet Georgia that I will continue to ensure both their physical and economic security. Together the Komunisturi Partia under party leader Viktor Kozintsev's leadership, we of Soviet Georgia have nothing but the brightest of futures to look forward to!" Party leader and General Secretary Kozintsev and Vice Secretary Jorge Briceņo were also on hand to congratulate Commissar Emami-Kashani on his victory. They both had nothing but well wishes of confidence in the Comissar's ability to lead. General Secretary Kozintsev also did not pass up the chance at criticizing their neighbors of the north for their people's indecisiveness. "I saw the latest poll reports from the Kartli and it did not surprise me to see that they have a tie in their polls. I believe that only goes to show that we here in Soviet Georgia are more united people, under the banner of true freedom and prosperity we alone show the world that the people of Georgia are able to lead themselves into the future and without the interfere of others be it other Middle Eastern countries or farther abroad." Before rejoining the party the General Secretary also announced that Chairman Jugshvili would have a job in Comissar Emami-Kashani's administration. Such comments certainly had to come as something of a sting to Prince Demetre Bagrationi III and the Kartli administration as the Kartli people seem divided between the Konservatiuli Partia who currently hold majority in the Kartli parliament and the Demokratiuli Partia who since the beginning of the elections held a strong chance of upsetting the Konservatiuli for the majoirty seats. However, Prince Bagrationi III address his people in a televised speech and had nothing but praise for both his country and what he called their "true and free" democratic process. "How fortunate we are to live in a time and a country where we are afforded the freedom to choose our leaders." said Prince Bagrationi III. "I think that this election only goes to prove that our people feel truly free to nominate who they want more so than our neighbors to the South. I congratulate everyone involved in our first election and I congratulate both parties on their campaigns. I know that they gave their best to win your vote and I know they'll be counting on all their supporters come run-off elections." The Kartli plan to hold a run-off election by the end of the week with only the Konservatiuli Partia and the Demokratiuli Partia on the ballot. Though the Prince did say he looked forward to the results, he would not comment to reporters after his speech on which party he supported. However, when it comes to this election season I think the battle to show off which country has more patriotism and who is more united will have to go to the communist. However, though some will protest the win given that the Communist are the only party in Soviet Georgia to run for elections, such a debate for us will have to come in another issue. |

OOC: Is it just me or are my polls gone? I deleted one but for some reason all of them disappeared off my screen. However, I've found that if I got to add another poll, and do so, all the polls I'm suppose to have left show up again with the new one, however I don't need to make a new one, so just curious. |

The Georgian Gazette Konservatiuli/Demokratiuli Call it a Draw, Soviet release surprising information Tbilisi: Party officials from both the Konservatiuli Partia and the Demokratiuli Partia announced today that they're willing to call it even as results announce yesterday still have the two parties tied for Parliament majority. This announcement comes as party officials held a press conference on the steps of Parliament. There they announced that continuing on would only leave the country weak in the face on a strong Soviet Republic to their South. "We cannot stand divided while Communists continue to strengthen their end of the line" said Minister Tengiz Kancheli, Konservatiuli Partia member. "If this means that our party must work on a power-sharing deal with our opponent then so be it. Our parties both believe firmly that the Kartli must stand strong against all our enemies" Though they have yet to give details to the sort of power-sharing agreement the two parties are working on, currently both hold an even 121 seats in the 250 seat parliament, with the remaining 8 seats going to Memarjvene Opozitsia party. Prince Demetre Bagrationi III called the agreement a show of Kartli mentality towards peace and national security over party pride. He looks forward to working with the two parties jointly and sees only bright things for the Kartli future. The Memarjvene Opozitsia however, are claiming that the agreement allows for an unfair advantage two both parties and leaving their own party without any legal ground to stand on. The demand that any power-sharing agreement must involve them as well, however the Konservatiuli and Demokratiuli claim that the Memarjvene Opozitsia have no platform for a case. The Memarjvene Opozitsia say that if any agreement is made without them, they will file a case with the Supreme Court. In the Soviet Republic, new Chairman, Ala'eddin Emami-Kashani announced today that they've added a new provision to a government construct scheme that has been underway for several months now. Soviet officials have for several months now overseen a reconstruction program to the port city of Pot'i. The project is called "New Leningrad" and once the project is complete Soviet Officials say they'll rename the city to honor both the famous Communist revolutionary as well as the homeland where Communism first began. Officials aren't releasing many details, but they will say that the city of the city will rival that of New York at the height of the Old USA. To complete the city, a man-made island will be constructed to house a statue-of-liberty sized statue of Lenin himself, pointing towards Russia herself, the homeland of his revolution. Chairman Emami-Kashani's announcement was that, as he promised, he intends to see a private sector established in New Leningrad. "It will go to show that Soviet Republic is vested in both the values of Communism as well as working truly for the interests of the people. Under the proposed plan, citizens will first have to register as party members before they are allowed to apply for private-business license. The license will of course cost a small fee, but the Soviets feel it will be only small discomfort to own their own business if they have the means to do so. Soviets believe that New Leningrad will become the jewel of the country and serve as a statement of the might and power of the Republic. |
