Commonwealth of Nyasaland: Difference between revisions

The NWP chose icedog68, a Tanganyankan, as their candidate, who won the election with a large majority. Support for other parties, especially the Conservationist Party, fell away in the election, and the newly-formed Dixie Nationalist Party did not make an impressive electoral debut; notably however ScreennameVice was Nyasaland's first ever male candidate for public office.

This election saw the first candidacy of Adil, a newfriend who chose to run for his own Better Nyasaland Party. As the sole member of the party he managed to garner an impressive 2 votes. Adil however, was not the only one to gather an impressive number of votes; March saw a 300% increase in the amount of votes for ScreennameVice and the DNP, who stuck it out until the third round but was unfortunately beaten. This was also probably helped by an extensive, week-long campaign by the DNP leading up to the election, which included a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoCvhtU95Qs campaign video].

<blockquote>"''This is the one thing I told you not to do.''" -'''Syurii Palgrave, 1st April'''</blockquote>Along with other political upheavals in early April came separate events which would eventually lead to the end of the Dominion of Yonder-Dixie. Cracks had been emerging in the union between Nyasaland and Yonder-Dixie for some time, with the sordid affair mostly being propped up by the personal rapport between Syurii Palgrave and ScreennameVice, the Governor-General and Duke of Antietam.

ScreennameVice however was not well liked however among the rest of the Nyasan populace - many of his votes in the March election came from political disgruntlement rather than true support - and this tension came to a head on the 31st March, when he was killed and briefly pearled by a gang of disgruntled Nyasans and Gensokyojins in the Palgrave storehouse. This transpired while Syurii Palgrave was asleep, and once she woke up she quickly had an anyeurism, shouted herself hoarse, and had ScreennameVice hastily released. However this event was a bridge too far, and would catalyze the long-growing tension to lead to the end of the Nyasan-Appomattox/Yonder-Dixie amalgamation; it was clear the situation was no longer tenable, and any goodwill which and underscored the union had crumbled.

Over the next few days negotiations were carried out between the new National Council and ScreennameVice, eventually leading to the [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MDmrfQAJtuy_bsqEIlZkBkBp6Cp1eLLO0NEDxrPgSjY/edit Treaty of Grestin] on the 5th April, which terminated the Dominion of Yonder-Dixie. Nyasaland retained only the territories of Cape Antegria and western Arstotzka, which were grouped under 'Makhnovschina' for settlement by Nyasaland's resident anarkiddies. ScreennameVice however remained a Nyasan citizen for the purposes of enjoying UNC protection, as he feared further attacks from disgruntled Gensokyojin.

The DNP advocated for the minority interests of the Dominion, as well as ensuring the continuation of their religion, Nelsonism, in the Choralist state, combined with a hard-right flavour of old-style conservatism.

Originally obscure due to the Dominion's low population, the DNP garnered some support during the March Election due to the NWP First Minister icedog68's lacklustre term, but due to polarisation on the character of Duke ScreennameVice, lost out to the NWP in the second and third rounds.
