Severyane: Election 1584
Elections for the Konsul, Natsional'noye Sobraniyea and the Predstaviteli

---

Welcome to the 1584 Severyanian elections. As these are Severyane's first elections, these will decide who takes up some newly formed roles in the new government. The Premier has disbanded the old government and instituted a new, democratic constitution. Citizens will vote every four years to elect a new "Konsul" (the Head of State), every two years for the Natsional'noye Sobraniyea (National Assembly, or Parliament), and every other two years for their Predstaviteli (Local Representatives that make up the second part of the legislature, or the Senate).

There are several political parties vying for control, as these are Severyane's first elections in the entire history of the nation. They are listed here:

Parties Running for Natsional'noye Sobraniyea

• Severyanskaya Perovskaya Partiya/Severyanian Perovist Party - "SPP" (Communists)
  
  Show ContentPlatform:

  The SPP's platform is largely to maintain the "status quo". They support a regulated "entitled wage" for each citizen, central planning of the economy, limited imports/exports as well as a limit on immigration and emigration. The SPP is pro-military yet largely anti-war.
• Partiya Svobody i Demokratii/Freedom and Democracy Party  - "PSD" (Democratic Party)
  
  Show ContentPlatform:

  The PSD is Severyane's first democracy oriented political party. They seek to expand political freedoms for the citizens of Severyane. They oppose any and all Perovist policies. They are in favor of government welfare, healthcare, and unemployment but do not support an "entitled wage". They seek to turn Severyane into an export-oriented economy and seek to make Severyane resource independent. The PSD is in favor of relaxed immigration laws and opposes laws forbidding emigration. The party is pro-military.
• Konservativnyy Soyuz/Conservative Union - "KS" (Conservatives)
  
  Show ContentPlatform:

  The KS runs a platform centered on supporting "family values" and a "tradition-oriented society". Their leaders are pro-military and pro-war, supporting an increase in Severyane's military size and expenditure. They oppose LGBTQ+ rights on the basis of "keeping society from becoming corrupted". The party opposed the "modern feminist movement" as a corruption of traditional feminist movements and ideas. They are against state-sponsored healthcare, welfare and "entitled wage".
• Dvizheniye za Vosstanovleniye Monarkhii/Party for the Restoration of the Monarchy - "DZVM" (Monarchists)
  
  Show ContentPlatform:

  The DZVM's platform is largely centered on their desire to turn Severyane into a Constitutional Monarchy by reinstating a relative of Severyane's last Emperor to the throne. They argue that it would be easy enough to make the prospective King the Head of State, replacing the newly formed office of Konsul.
• Partiya Mira i Svobody/Party for Peace and Freedom - "PMIS" ("Green" Party)
  
  Show ContentPlatform:

  The PMIS runs a platform of "anti-war, pro-people". They oppose any and all expansions of the military and actually advocate for cutting it by 75% of its current size. The PMIS are also heavily in favor of LGBTQ+ rights, immigration/emigration rights, and consider themselves "pro-feminism", boasting the fact that over 65% of their party is female.
• Liberal'noye Narodnoye Sobraniye/Liberal People's Assembly - "LNS" (Liberal Party)
  
  Show ContentPlatform:

  The LNS supports many state-sponsored programs, such as welfare, healthcare and "entitled wage". They are pro-LGBTQ+, and support the "modern feminist cause". The LNS Party leader labeled his party the "antithesis of the backward and ignorant Conservative Union" during a recent speech. They are pro-military yet anti-war.
• Nezavisimyy/Independents - "IND" (Not a party)
  

Several Candidates for the Office of Konsul have just ended their campaign seasons, though the group was larger initially, it has been whittled down to a much smaller collection of individuals. The candidates have been running harsh campaigns largely along their party lines. The candidates are listed below:
