General Domestic Issues

[RedSun]

So for those of you who haven’t looked at our election system it’s a delegate system that is going to be changed before the end of the century after the Reconstruction/Great Relocation is complete. So right now every region (not including extrasolar colonies) has a number of delegates based off population. The winner of the region takes all the delegates. And the delegates vote on candidates to filled out the Kokkai.

The Kaiyu ran on pulling out of the Cyborg Pact and Legalizing Drugs.
The Shukotai ran on staying in the Cyborg Pact and prohibiting the production of meat in Asteria on religious grounds.
However, law blocking in the Shingikai may wonder how much of the legislative agenda the parties will accomplish.

Here are the election results:

Japan: 133 delegates
Shukotai - 11.3 million votes
Kaiyu - 10.9 million votes

Sinoria: 83 delegates
Kaiyu - 6.9 million votes
Shukotai - 6.7 million votes

Sinarchia: 30 delegates
Shukotai - 2.7 million votes
Kaiyu - 2.4 million votes

Shanghai: 20 delegates
Kaiyu - 1.8 million votes
Shukotai - 1.7 million votes

Korea: 68 delegates
Kaiyu - 5.9 million votes
Shukotai - 5.6 million votes

Rusha: 52 delegates
Kaiyu - 4.1 million votes
Shukotai - 3.9 million votes

Coso: 17 delegates
Kaiyu - 1.4 million votes
Shukotai - 1.3 million votes

Mongolia: 33 delegates
Kaiyu - 2.7 million votes
Shukotai - 2.2 million votes

Nirvan: 23 delegates
Kaiyu - 1.5 million votes
Shukotai - 1.4 million votes

Mediterranean: 17 delegates
Kaiyu - 1.2 million votes
Shukotai - 0.9 million votes

Trojkat: 5 delegates
Shukotai - 0.5 million votes
Kaiyu - 0.4 million votes

The Kaiyu won 39.2 million votes. (50.6%)
The Shukotai won 38.2 million votes. (49.4%)

The Kaiyu won 313 delegates.
The Shukotai won 168 delegates.

The Kaiyu have 29 seats in the Kokkai and the Shukotai have 16 seats.

While the vote tally’s were pretty close the Kaiyu’s regional victories gave them a very large margin of control in the Kokkai.
Party leaders, moderates, the Kochai etc. are to come.

Rebel attacks have been getting more and more frequent across the Empire. The most common targets are intelligence/secret police officers and small military divisions. The Legions have had a very hard time finding the insurgents, as the rebels seem to have a lot of support. Whenever they strike, they disappear soon after.

HFPE: The most disturbing attack was a recent raid on an intelligence office in Donostia. The rebels managed to steal some government information regarding a military installation outside the city. The nature of the stolen information has not yet been determined, but the government is frantically searching for clues to learn what their next target might be. The nearby base has a lot of classified information. The Spectral Agency is still unsure of the rebel plan, but has found several indications that the city of Valparaiso is harboring the rebellion. It is too early to tell, and the agency is hoping to use the knowledge they currently have to find the remaining rebel connections.

Emperor Astor fumed.

"I cannot believe they had the nerve. The nerve! They dare spurn this country.

I swear, Antonio. The Cooperative will pay in blood and lubricating oil for this insult!"

Cooperative: Gears of Conflict
Recent actions in Iberia and against shareholders in Pallas, has resulted in the Corps making a determination. They will be deploying the Fleet in a rescue operation for the Imperials. Coopting the various Kuiaton Mining Vessels and Civilian Commander models to deploy and retrieve Pallas before retreating to the defense barriers of Pluto and Charon. Iberian aggression, while not pointed against the Cooperative Islands, is notable enough and with communistic forces to the North.

The Cooperative open communication with the Catalonians as it seeks to deploy a Commander Pod to the region to secure and control. Additionally the Cyon's will soon be met with discussion, by a Karyu Pod over the Peninsula nearby the Islands. The goal be securing Catalonia and the safety of the islands from aggression. Secondly, Cooperative Spec Op Pods, will be deployed and sent to certain regions and with Cooperative weaponry to help better turn the tide. The Time is Nigh. The Gears are turning.

Of note, Estremadura is part of Cyon - beads claimed portugal.

Who's judging the Catalonia situation?

[Constantine072]

That why I deployed the Pod when he was in process of claiming to secure a defense zone for my islands

So this is a retcon?

The quoted post only mentions Catalonia and 'a peninsula', which is in no way enough (IMO) to place it within the territory claimed by Cyon (which explicitly did not include Catalonia).

I should have been more clear. I never intended to claim Cooperative islands near Iberia.
