You are
El Presidente Edgar Juarez!You were once a simple Colonel in the Alarrosian Armed Forces, but the corrupt ways of the Murrikan-smooching Democratic Council of Alarros tickled off some people in military, who prefer to see their island and their peoples well-treated and away from bad capitalist influences.
Some weeks and one bloody coup later, you rise to power! You're installed as the 15th President of Republic of Alarros (founded 1925).
The
military of course shall back you up in your decisions, remember that. Your alignment is towards
United States of Moskovia, the glorious beacon of communism and socialism on the whole of Terra.
Alarros isn't an especially big island, but prospers thanks to the exports of
cereals, ores and oil. The first is a stable source of income and food, while the others sell well on the international market, especially oil - but it is also one of most violent trade goods, especially if Murrikan oil corporations get involved in price meddling!
1950, Week 1
You're given the Republican Ledger!
Loyalty: 40
Proletariat: 40
Dollarinos: 30
Military: 50
*Navy: 10
You don't quite understand the significance of these esoteric numbers hastily scribbled on this one-page document, and your Aide is babbling in purple prose about them. Oh well!
And your first debacle comes up just three days later! The days of lazily puffing your cigars in the office are surely gone forever.
The People's Senate is debating about the legality of your presidency, presidente!! It seems that some of the democratically elected officials do not like having a military superior over them, and would rather host elections to determine your successor.
You decide to...
A) Dissolve the Senate - Allaros doesn't need constitutionalism anyways!
B) Give a speech to the People's Senate, and win their hearts.
C) Endorse the elections, everyone will vote for me after all, right!
D) Suspend the Senate's powers temporarily, till they change their minds.
