The Kannexan Security Service (Sicherheitsdienst) had infiltrated the Revolutionary People's Party of Kannex (Revolutionäre Volkspartei; RVP) for several years. Indeed, the RVP had begun as an orthodox splinter group of the original Communist Party of Kannex. The schism had been advanced, at...

So I'm rebooting Kannex to be more like a Swiss-style (multicultural) empire, with both Mandarin and German speakers. Here is the history. I haven't really thought of much else, like the contemporary gov structure or officials, but basically Kannex will be more culturally conservative.

I really don't see it as necessary, but just in case anyone wants to leave OOC comments, here's the OOC thread for the Nationalist Party Primary thread. To clarify: Anyone can pose a question to the candidates, as long as you pose it IC as a Kannexan citizen (you don't have to speak German...

A Catholic school had been converted into a polling station for the day. It was evening. The moon, a full white orb, had arisen. The sky was dark blue, like the corner of the Protestant flag fluttering in the wind. But the small group of marchers waving the Lutheran colors passed by the polling...

At least five hundred protesters marched in the downtown of Sankt Anna, Wallei Province. Roads in the major shopping district were blocked as college-age youths, teenagers, and old grandfathers and grandmothers wore black T-shirts and sported, among other things, Christian crosses and signs that...

The cartoons one sees in historical magazines like Punch, like this or this, are really something. In many of them, nations are personified using the animal or animals most associated with them. Russia, obviously, is a bear -- you'll see many cartoons where a AK-47-toting bear with an ushanka...

I got this for an assignment for my Western Political Thought class; I think it's worth a reading. It speaks volumes about the nature of foreign policy. Nebula and Syrixia especially ought to read it. Melian Conference

I seem to have lost the ability to post in the NPTO voting chambers, so let's continue the discussion here. I'm suggesting we get rid of the Peace Council, because it gives too much power to a select group of members. The consolidation of powers into the Assembly would benefit the organization.
