gopprogressive Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Hello everyone, I have created a scenario called Rocentia Votes 2020. It is a fictional micronation set in the future of 2020 where a Civil War erupts in Russia between the federal government and anti-government Communists/Nationalists. I used Yukon as the model for the country, and a made a few modifications. The parties in Rocentia are National (the center-right incumbents), Progressive Socialist Party (the Socialist & Communist opposition), Liberal Democratic Party (the Liberal/Reformist opposition), and One Nation (the Nationalist & Far-Right opposition). The National Party is very similar to Vladimir Putin's United Russia Party as far as ideology, and has an advantage coming into the election- but it is not invincible. Here is some more information: Parties & Candidates National: Olga Pavlova Marcus Milam PSP: Erin Granger LDP: Natalya Roberts One Nation: Daniel Morey ProvincesArctica Arzhania Bzan Chichester Lincoln Maxigrad Paulovia Petrograd North Petrograd Center Petrograd South Slavonia Virtustan @issues Abortion Church + State Corruption Environment Gas Prices Immigration Industrial Policy Language Law and Order Medicare Military Pension Security Schools + Universities Siberian War Tax and Budget Trade US Relations + NATO War on Terrorism @end @issue position descriptions // left to right, 1 - 5 // Abortion Unrestricted access to taxpayer-funded abortion.

Restore the special status of the Orthodox Christian Church. @ // Corruption Create a Ministry of Government Honesty. Arrest all Oligarchs! Prosecute all suspects, and set up independent ethics commissioner. Thoroughly investigate all cases of corruption. This issue is not important and should not affect your vote.

Regulate private sector to keep prices low. Compensate losers. More competition in markets. Support privatization of industry. Privatize all industries.

Drastically cut government spending. @ //Trade The process of globalization should be reversed. Renegotiate trade agreements for environment, culture, and labour. Free and fair global trade. Compensate those who lose from change. Reduce tariffs, open and diversify markets to promote more free trade. All markets should be open! Push for international free trade expansion. @ //US Relations + NATO We should work with the UN to curb US power. NATO is US imperialism! Our independence is more important than the US. Oppose NATO. We should be friends with the US, but limit NATO involvement. The US is our best friend and ally. Support NATO. Stand by America no matter what. All the way with the USA! @ //War on Terrorism Terrorists are fighting the imperialist policies of the West. Reduce military operations, focus on humanitarian solutions. Focus on improving arms control, diplomacy, and intelligence. We should not hesitate to use military force against terrorism. We should nuke Mecca if the terrorists strike again. @ If you want a copy, please email me. Enjoy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
