"--which is why we supported the bill to more heavily regulate the mining industry. Next question?"

"Yes. What are your thoughts on the MNB?"

"The Mittellafrikanische Nationale Befreiungsbewegung? I don't have much to say. If the colonies demand independence, it may well be in their and our best interests to do so and avoid a war or other kinds of conflict as the various powers to the west did a couple centuries ago, especially as the former colony would still retain a cultural and economical connection to Europe. It simply doesn't matter at this point, especially with the more important issues gripping our nation at this point. Next question?"

"Sir, why are members of the--"

In response to Chairman Boganda

I ask for you to address your complaints to me, not all of the AV members. My opinions may or may not reflect the actual opinions of the AV. After all, individuals have their own opinions. Before you say that I am a dirty, corrupt, nationalist, hypocritical scumbag as I addressed my open letter to all of the MNB, I will say this: I earnestly thought that the members of the MNB shared Chairman Boganda's opinions.

If you would answer two more question of mine, Chairman Boganda: If Africans would have more representation in their new nation than whites, then how does that make the new government better than our current one? Would the new government officials not be foreigners to the white residents, if any?

Yes, I agree that German labor proposals are inapplicable to Mittelafrika. However, that is primarily due to the fact that, with our current level of technology, we cannot actually make the land work itself. Your idea that African people are incapable of physical labor insults all Central Africans. You imply that Central Africans are only suited to primitive ways of survival. You imply that they lack the ingenuity and creativity to change their own lives for the better. You wish to say that your people are nothing more than savages. Having tradition decide your life style is unreasonable.

I suppose you're right about the fact that we Germans are the foreign invaders. However, if you were to successfully establish your Confederation would the separate tribes of Mittelafrika not consider each-other as foreigners thus causing civil wars? As far as I can see, us so-called "colonial oppressors" are the only things that are currently uniting the Central African people. Once the Central Africans gain their independence, your brothers and sisters will turn on each-other.

Of course my comparison with the United States is completely nonsensical, I mean the US is a nation of foreigners ruled by another bunch of foreigners led by (Guess what?) a foreigner. (If you don't believe in the idea of assimilation, of course.)

Yes, of course you will. Creating a language is the easy part. Getting people to actually speak the language is the hard part. How are you supposed to form a language from hundreds of languages? What if people only wish to speak their own native language, not something thought up by a bunch of foreigners?

I do not insult you, I insult your views.

Insolently,
Hermann Enber

1936 Election Results:

All in all 15 Players cast 26 Votes. 4 Votes were not used. 11 Players had Party alignments, 4 had no alignments.


Thus the Elections ended in:

Syndicalist-Social Democrat Victory!

[Bdthemag]

With the announcement of the Syndicalist/Social Democrat victory various socialist parties were out on the street in celebration as the seemingly impossible happened. Parties were held in taverns, particularly overzealous workers took the day off of work, and all across the working districts of Berlin the workers cheered. Although, the right wasn't particularly happy. Rumors were abound that various syndicalists clashed with the more extreme nationalist in the city, but most were small fights that didn't result in too much.

With their victory secured, the V.D.A. finally was able to fully reveal themselves in public. Even a large rally was held outside the tavern V.D.A. members were rumored to frequent and base their operations around. The leader of the party, Briar Eberstark was even there prepared to give a speech about the future of the party.

He stood on the erected platform with his most trusted party officials, and greeted the crowd warmly and gave a speech, which was followed by short speeches from other important party members. The following are excerpts from said speech.

"Fellow workers of Germany, we have finally won. Ever since the rise of socialism in Germany, I remember how we were treated by the government and general populace. We were beaten, imprisoned, and discriminated against because we saw a new vision. A vision of the future. A future of equality, prosperity, and security. So drink from the clasp of victory for the time being, but do not believe that the election was the hard part.

This is the hard part, for we must now try our very best to better Germany. All of our wishes won't be complete overnight, and it will be a slow, arduous process that we will eventually emerge successful from..."

"I've heard some criticism regarding our newly adopted little cousin, the Socialist Republican Party. Yes, they are more moderate and reserved in their goals than we are. But we must understand, the moderate populace of Germany cannot simply jump from one position to another so quickly. Without them, right now we'd be wallowing in despair as the nationalists or conservatives claimed victory. For now, we will compromise and try to implement what we can.

I extend our friendship to our fellow comrades at the S.R.P., and I even consider each and every one of them honorary members of the V.D.A.! So if you see one in the street, give him a handshake, give him a hug, thank him for cooperating. We are very lucky to find allies in such a dark hour, and together we will rise from this darkness and overcome the economic problems we face. I promise that things will improve, not dramatically, but they will improve. Hopefully by the end of our term, we will have taken the important first steps in fixing our problems..."

[Kaferian]

For a few weeks after the Socialist Election Victory, various beer halls have closed down. Emigration to the United Baltic Duchy has skyrocketed, and workers have been seen buying large amounts of ammunition and firearms. There is little known currently about the whereabouts of the A.D.V as all the reporters and newspapers are taking part in the Syndicalist celebrations. Various fight broke out in the beer halls that were still open between Syndicalist and Nationalist workers.

Hello once more Germany. Today, and for a long time now, we will be having sad times. Many of you may have to shut down businesses as your workers demand what you cannot give. Our enemies to the west will be eyeing our weakened territories hungrily, and will start to demand. Germany, this is our fate. The Syndicalists have gotten into power. Those sweet words of temptation have fooled many of you. It saddens my heart that our enemies have gotten into power. Our nation is headed down and down. Until next election Germany. We are at their mercy.

The German Government for the Period 1936-1938

The Elections were close...really close. Through a Hair thin margin the Leftist Coalition managed to secure an Election Victory, something they would soon regret.

on the Eve of the 14th March the First Riots broke out. Leftist Supporters and Right Wing Radicals crashed in the streets in viscious fighting.



The Close Election Result increased National Dissent by +15%!

Black Monday grows worse!

...As Unemployment has risen by 20% since the beginning of the Black Monday Stock Crash. Every Day more and more Factories close...

The Black Monday has indeed gotten even worse, Unemployment Rate is going through the roof while our Economy seems to collapse! Immediate Action by the Government is needed.

Peacetime IC-Modifier -20%
+5% National Dissent
-50 Million Reichsmark

Issues Facing the New Administration

Universal Suffrage
As of late Feminist Movements are clamoring for their Voting Rights. It is up to the Current Government how far they wish to advance the interests of Female Emancipation.

Military Doctrine
Some of our more Progressive Military Theorists speculate that the future of Warfare lies in a more Mobilized Approach then our current Massed Infantry and Trench Warfare Doctrines. In the Economic Crisis a reorientation might jumpstart our Economy although that will be bound with massive costs.

Mitteleuropa Policy
Next mont the Mitteleuropa Summit will happen and will decide whether we stay a purely European Alliance or whether we allow Countries like South Africa to join us. Certainly the Rich Resource Depots of Finland and South Africa would be helpful, while Hungary would make a good Military Partner.

Syndicalist Relations
The Election of a Leftist Bloc in the Government has lead to a warm up with the Commune, UoB and Syndicalist Italy, we might be able to enter diplomatic relations.

German Territoral Claims
While there is still the Issue with the Anschluss we also recieved news from Mittelafrika, Relations with Portgual has soured as Portugese Troops were massing at the Borders. Reichstatthalter Hermann von Göring put the Landeswehr Mittelafrika on alert and is asking for our intervention.

The Economic Crisis
Whatever we do to stave off our Economic Collapse we should have a plan fast. Some Reichstag Elements are even suggesting Decolonisation and a War with Switzerland.

That is all for now, but i think our New Chancellor and his Cabinet will adress this Issues in their Opening Speeches...Good luck and "Gott Mit Uns!"

[GreatWyrmGold]

"Greetings. This is the Gedankenjustierer Partei, or Gendankens for short. We have...noticed the turmoil in the way a fisherman notices a hurricane over his boat. While we understand that the Left and Right have their differences, and each feels the other will make things worse, these riots do nothing to help. Does the Conservative butcher, the Liberal baker, or the Moderate candlestick-maker have anything to do with how our countries' leaders choose to run the nation? No, they deprive us of not only meat, bread, and candlesticks, but of the German hands and heads our nation needs to come out on top once more. Please, stop this violence! If you have a problem with the government, tell the governors with your words, don't tell your neighbors with fists and flame."

[Digital Hellhound]

After the Leftist Democratic election victory, new Reichskanzler Matthias Ebner gave a short and measured speech to the victorious masses.

'Today, we have won a great victory! The Social Republican Party and our radical cousins have become the new government of our beloved German state! Today, I ask you to celebrate, find your loved ones, take the streets, and know that a new era is beginning! Tomorrow, our work begins. It will not be immediate and it will not be easy, but I swear a solemn oath; Germany will rise once more, free, equal, unparalled by all! We will equal and surpass in every regard the achievements of the past! We will lead the world into a golden era of peace and prosperity, where no man is another's slave, where no man is barred from work or education, where the people, not tyrants, reign. Thank you all. Thank you.'
