This is a list of prime ministers of Grensalbourg.

2449[edit | edit source]

1 January 2449. Election uses a D'hondt PR method with 2% minimum. 51 for a majority. Easiest path is a PSP–Liberal coalition to get 55 in as few seats but it's an ideological opponent. Possibility would be PSP (34) – DLP (4) – Greens (7) – Alliance (5) but it would be just fifty percent, not technically a majority plus they'd need to compromise on some independence issues. PSP–Liberal coalition of 55 seats, a majority of 8, was elected with a PSP prime minister. The official opposition was led by the Conservatives (11). Peter Marnstricht, the incumbent leader, was elected PM.

March 2451[edit | edit source]

2 March 2451. Election uses a D'hondt PR method with 2% minimum. 51 for a majority. PSP want to hold a new election to hopefully get a left-wing majority on it's own, Liberals are happy to oblige thinking they'll win more seats. Behind the scenes the two are open to reforming the coalition. Ultimately, nothing changes except the Liberals get an extra seat and the Nationalists lose a seat. PSP–Liberal coalition is reformed with 56, a majority of 10. Peter Marnstricht was re-elected, but steps down having failed to win more seats on 1 June 2451. New PSP prime minister Benjamin Haavista promises a new election on 15 October 2451 to see confidence in them. The official opposition was led by the Conservatives (11).

October 2451[edit | edit source]

12 October 2451. Election uses a D'hondt PR method with 2% minimum. 51 for a majority. Benjamin Haavista want confidence in their new leadership setting our a platform for reform. This election saw a lot more changes than the last one. The continuation of the PSP–Liberal coalition is possible, it'd have 61 seats, a majority of 20, and an increase of 5 seats from last election. However, the PSP wanted to pass new reforms and so looked towards other parties to make a left-wing agenda possible. They would enter coalition with the Evergreens (5), Alliance (6), and Sistynsfell (3) to reach 52 seats, a majority of just 2, with the hopes that the DLP (5) would help them in most votes without requiring official coalition concessions. The official opposition was led by the Liberals (23). The coalition of PSP–EV–AL–SF with DLP s&c would re-elect Benjamin Haavista as prime minister.

2454[edit | edit source]

22 October 2454. Election uses a D'hondt PR method with 1% minimum. 51 for a majority. The 2nd PM (PSP) holds regularly scheduled elections in late 2454. The SF state publicly that they would want more concessions to support a PSP government through another three years, while Alliance says they'll reopen negotiations from scratch post-election. Immigration from Empheri people gives a lot of boosts to the Empheri parties but also raises turnout for apathetic Palak voters. It was moved from a 2% minimum to 1% minimum but this did not affect the results. The PSP lost 3 seats, and Alliance lost 1 seat but the Evergreens gained two seats. The coalition of PSP–EV–AL–SF held 50 seats, exactly half, and would require the DLP who held 3 seats for supply and confidence. Benjamin Haavista (PSP) was re-elected.

2457[edit | edit source]

18 October 2457. Election uses a D'hondt PR method with 1% minimum. 51 for a majority. Benjamin Haavista (PSP) holds regularly scheduled elections in late 2457. Amid a scandal and withdrawal of the SF from the coalition in September became an issue for the PSP. The PSP saw the biggest loss in history, losing seven seats, but they still won a plurality of seats. The PSP–EV–AL coalition would only be 42 seats, even if SF joined (which they refused) it would be only 46. The DLP agreed to join a coalition for some independence concessions, however they still only held 50 seats, a tie. Thus they formed a minority government with the 2nd PM (PSP) re-elected. However, on 3 February 2458, Benjamin Haavista would resign because of how badly he lost the election and coalition troubles. Edwin Eselsen (PSP) was elected.

April 2458[edit | edit source]

4 April 2458. Election uses a D'hondt PR method with 1% minimum. 51 for a majority. Edwin Eselsen (PSP) called snap elections early to resolve a minority government. Two new left-wing parties emerged and people tended to move away from the major parties despite polling suggesting Edelsen was more popular than Haavista as PM. The results saw the PSP floundering losing another 7 seats. The Liberals became the largest party. Creating a government would become practically impossible. The left wing coalition of PSP–EV–AL–DLP–SDP–LFT, now including the two new parties, would only be 46 seats despite the broad coalition. The SF refused to endorse the coalition, but their 4 seats would've only pushed them to 50. The 3rd PM (PSP) failed to get enough votes for the first three votes. To prevent another tie, Edwin Eselsen is elected a caretaker PM with supply from the Liberals to pass an act to raise the seat count to 101, and then following this, parliament is dissolved on 7 May 2458.

July 2458[edit | edit source]

4 July 2458. Election uses a D'hondt PR method with 1% minimum. 51 for a majority. The left was doomed in this election. PSP–EV–AL–DLP–SDP–LFT combined had 44 seats, and if the SF aided them, it'd only be 49, short two. The Liberal party led initial coalition talks being the largest party by a considerable margin. L–C–AL–SF–FL, which combined to 52 seats. They would be collaborating with an independence caucus in the FL, and had to compromise with Sistynsfell to help them. Erika Lanaholm was elected, and would be a Liberal and the first female prime minister.

24 July 2459. Election uses a D'hondt PR method with 1% minimum. 51 for a majority. A year after the previous election, Erika Lanaholm (Liberal) called a new election to try and increase their majority amid better approval polling. The coalition of L–C–AL–SF–FL had 52 seats in the last election and now had 55, a majority of 8. They would be collaborating with an independence caucus in the FL, and had to compromise with Sistynsfell to help them. Erika Lanaholm was re-elected.

2462[edit | edit source]

27 July 2462. Election uses a D'hondt PR method with 1% minimum. 51 for a majority. Regularly scheduled elections, Erika Lanaholm was seeking a third term. The Left Bloc did not run in this election. The L–C–AL–SF–FL coalition held 53 seats, a majority of 4, down 2 seats from the last election. They would be collaborating with an independence caucus in the FL, and had to compromise with Sistynsfell to help them. The 4th PM (L) was re-elected. In 2463, a scandal ran through government forcing the PM Erika Lanaholm to resign on 18 August 2463. Peter Campbell, also a Liberal, would be elected PM.

In late 2463, Ossi Leinonen would take over from previous dictator Soro and would become more hostile to Grensalbourg, supporting Palak nationalists. In February 2464, Palakkinen ceased trade with Grensalbourg forcing them to rely on exports and imports with solely the High Kingdoms of Alaxia. A terrorist attack occurred by Palak and Mutaarist nationalists on 4 April 2464 in Sistyn, and protests sprang up demanding help. The PM was clear that he believed Leinonen was behind funding to Mutaarist terror groups and pressed Palakkinen on the issue. The Sistynsfell required an injection of the entire 5-year surplus into defence spending and establishment of a proper military. The Liberals refuse, not wanting to get rid of their surplus so quickly and preferred standing up to Palakkinen. The Sistynsfells withdrew from the coalition on 27 July 2464.

September 2464[edit | edit source]

11 September 2464. Election uses a D'hondt PR method with 1% minimum. 51 for a majority. Caused by the Sistynsfells withdrawing from coalition and a vote of no confidence. Peter Campbell (L) takes this as a test of his leadership. A new Worker's party was established. The incumbent L–C–AL–SF–FL fell from 53 seats to 39 seats, a decrease of 14. The PSP won the most seats with 26 and tried to form a left-wing coalition. They were less scared to work with the DLP, and they'd need to as they were now the second largest left wing party. The PSP–DLP–EV–WP together would also be 39 seats, not quite enough. A one-ideological coalition was impossible. The let would need to co-operate with the Empheri nationalists or the Palak nationalists to have a chance at government without the Liberals, same for the right wing coalition.

The PSP promised a snap election in December 2464 to the Nationalists, both Palak and Empheri, in return for support on their government. In the end, Gregorik Merherm (PSP) was elected 64–37, a very large margin.

December 2464[edit | edit source]

18 December 2464. Election uses a D'hondt PR method with 1% minimum. 51 for a majority. Gregorik Merherm (PSP) dissolved parliament to solve a crisis in parliament. The PSP pushed for left-wing collaboration, the Palaks pushed for Palak nationalist groups to do well, the Liberals and Nationalists make people scared of them. The election saw vote share rise significantly for both the PSP and the Nationalists, but the left seem further and further away from actually forming a government. The Liberals decide to u-turn on their decision not to use the surplus, and try to form a 'National Government' consisting of L–N–C–SF–FL of 48 seats, short 3 of a majority, but the left wing could not get more than 37. The NPK's 9 MPs said that they would try at all cost to prevent a military build up, which scared smaller left-wing parties into supporting the National Government. Alliance, Evergreen, and the Party of Grensalbourg supported the gov't in a supply and confidence agreement, bringing the government to 53 seats, a majority of 4. The Nat Gov was formed on 9 January 2465 after discussions.

John Whistle (L) was elected PM and was a moderate. He founded the Grensalbourg Defence Force (GDF) in January 2465.

2465[edit | edit source]

12 March 2465. Election uses a D'hondt PR method with 1% minimum. 51 for a majority. The GDF was established in January 2465 amid a national emergency fearing Palakkine invasion. In February, the Liberal Defence Minister Stephanie Breksen announced that the HKA and Grensalbourg militaries would coordinate. Controversially, the Defence Act 2465 allowed the HKA some access into their army. This was unpopular with the Sistynsfell and Free Liberals, who threatened to oust the current government if the bill was not amended. John Whistle (L) made a plea to the country that involved the importance of a unified government to fight back against the Palaks. The PM called an election to be able to act quickly and scheduled it for a 3 week instead of 6 week campaign due to the emergency. Precautions were kept to make the ballots safe and the Minister of Defence Breksen was alert and monitoring the situation closely.

The election saw PM John Whistle (L) win an incredible victory, having the largest single election increase for any party, gaining 19 seats. Every other party bar the Palak Neverots lost seats. The election saw an insane consolidation for the Liberal party, and total wipeout for the Free Liberals and Alliance parties. The Liberal party figure of 42 seats beat out the previous highest seat count record held by the PSP with 38 seats won in the October 2451 election. The coalition was L–N holding 52 seats, a majority of 2, but enough with no other coalition partners. John Whistle (L) was re-elected.

2468[edit | edit source]

12 January 2468. Election uses a D'hondt PR method with 1% minimum. 51 for a majority. The dictator of Palakkinen, Ossi Leinonen, was deposed on 5 July 2465 which temporarily relived the Grensalbourgish government, although they remained on high alert. The new leader, Heikki Kivi, took power immediately and purged the previous government. Although condemning these murders of public officials officially, the Grensalbourgish government and John Whistle (L) were in negotiations with Kivi behind the scenes to stabilise the situation. By June 2466, the situation was relatively calm and the PSP demanded a new election early due to the circumstances of the previous having ended. The Liberals stated that they would hold an election in December 2466, six months later. However, Heikki Kivi died on 28 October 2466, a week before parliament was due to be dissolved. The elections were delayed until some point in 2467 as the government investigated the situation.

The previous Interior Minister in Palakkinen Koski became the new leader, but was killed by Georgi Kivi, son of Kivi, in January 2467. The Grensalbourgish government was once again back on edge. A state of emergency was declared and intelligence and the army were on full alert. Negotiations was fell short of what the Grensalbourgish gov't wanted under Georgi Kivi. The Palakkine Army under General Toivanen overthrew the Palakkine gov't in late May 2467. The new provisional gov't under Toivanen would be negotiated with from June 2467. Toivanen assured them that stability would only follow and wanted to work with the HKA and Grensalbourg to ensure peace.

With the issue of Palakkinen somewhat fixed for now, the government would plan for elections throughout November to December 2467. Although technical issues pushed these to January 2468. Because of this, these elections were only two months earlier than they would've been otherwise.

The results saw the PSP gain back 5 seats and go back to its pre-emergency state while the Liberals managed to hold onto around ~10pc of the vote share from before - they lost 7 seats from the last election, but were 5 ahead of the PSP. Forming a government was going to prove tricky. The Liberal–Nationalist coalition added up to 42 seats, short 9 of a majority. Working with the Conservatives, and both Cross-caucus parties, would only get them to 47 seats. Their only option was to work with the up and coming Party of Grensalbourg. The L–N–C–SF–AL–PoG coalition held 52 seats, a majority of 2. John Whistle (L) was re-elected.

2471[edit | edit source]

29 January 2471. Election uses a D'hondt PR method with 1% minimum. 51 for a majority. John Whistle (L) was well liked by his entire coalition, and he did not call for an early election. The L–N–C–SF–AL–PoG was going into the new elections working hard and implementing new policies. However, the Liberals slowly lost support due to incumbency bias and the lack of a defence initiative anymore. The results saw a great result for the independence caucus, and the Liberals losing another 7 seats. The PS became the largest party once again now that the Palak Crisis was over. The Party of Grensalbourg had become the 4th largest party with 7 seats, while the 3rd largest party, the Palak Neverots, dropped to 8 seats.

The coalition building would be very difficult. The previous coalition of L–N–C–SF–AL–PoG, which held 52 seats, now held 48 seats, a decrease of 4 seats. They could rely on the Free Liberals for another seat, but were short 2 of a majority. The compromise made was with the Mutaarist Party, who provided 5 seats to reach 53 seats, a majority of 4. The L–N–C–SF–AL–PoG–MTP–FL coalition of 8 parties re-elected John Whistle (L). As part of his negotiations with the Mutaarist, he would implement a reform to local representation in the Local Representation Act 2472 which gave newly founded subdivisions powers, specifically Palakkine areas, to set laws abiding to Mutaarism. This saw a lot of backlash.

2474[edit | edit source]

11 January 2474. Election uses a D'hondt PR method with 1% minimum. 51 for a majority. Despite the insanely large coalition, the election lasted until the term's expiration after three years. John Whistle (L) sought re-election, but his party saw quite significant losses across the entirely coalition bar the Mutaarists. The Palak Neverots saw the biggest defeat, losing five, while the Mutaarists independence party gained 6 seats. The L–N–C–SF–AL–PoG–MTP–FL would go from 53 seats to 55 seats, a majority of 8. The Mutaarists became the second largest party in the coalition. The fence-sitters Sistynsfells and Alliance were removed from the coalition, leaving the gov't with 52 seats, a majority of 2, but a much easier coalition to manage of L–MTP–N–C–PoG, although the Party of Grensalbourg were worried about working more with the Mutaarists. They re-elected John Whistle (L).

2476[edit | edit source]

19 March 2476. Election uses a D'hondt PR method with 1% minimum. 51 for a majority. John Whistle (L) was happy to see the election of a Liberal PM in Empherias after decades of PSP rule and held many audiences with Scarlett May. In November 2475, Mutaarist controlled provinces passed laws to restrict certain rights of non-Mutaars. As a result, many Liberals called on the gov't to expel the Mutaarist party from coalition - they refused knowing it'd collapse the government. However, the Party of Grensalbourg was very uncomfortable with this, and withdrew from the coaltion in early January 2476, collapsing the government. New elections took place in March.

The results saw the PS increase by 4 to 39 seats, the second highest for any party ever, while the Liberals shrank to 23. The Party of Grensalbourg took many disgruntled Mutaarist supporters. As a result, the Liberals were kind of doomed. The Party of Grensalbourg worked with the PS to try and revert some changes made by the Liberals, and the DLP joined the coalition to form a strong 3 party PS–DLP–PoG coalition with 54 seats, a majority of 6. William Baker (PSP) was elected PM.

2478[edit | edit source]

21 April 2478. Election uses a D'hondt PR method with 1% minimum. 51 for a majority. William Baker (PSP) went head to head with the Mutaarist Party over their local province governments, and tried to overturn them. They first established a Supreme Court in late 2476 and asked it to arbitrate. They ruled in favour of the provinces as it was perfectly legal under the uncodified constitution in 2477, and thus the PSP attempted to repeal the act creating local government. The gov't abolished local provinces and their powers in the Repeal of Local Representation Act 2477. However, this move bombastically backfired as the act abolished all provinces. Many famous and well liked governors and mayors were out of a job, local projects that were half way through were abolished, all for removing elected Mutaarists from their positioning. In reaction, several thousand Mutaarists began to protest on the streets, commencing the October 2477 riots in the eastern regions. The November 2477 Mijguer riot was particularly brutal, and a member of parliament was assassinated there in December 2477. In the new year, the gov't saw it fit to use the pre-established GDF to subdue rioters in the early months of 2478. This move enraged many PSP supporters who believed this was a disaster of their own making and violently clamping down on protests was not the best idea. Many PSP supporters were too annoyed that no actual reform was taking place beside this national issue. William Baker was annoyed, not wanting to be known as the 'rebel prime minister'

The Party of Grensalbourg pulled out of the government in March 2478 and a no confidence vote was successful on 2 March 2478. Elections took place thereafter. The 3 party PS–DLP–PoG coaltion went from 54 seats to 49 seats, a decrease of 5 seats, although this is mainly because the PSP lost 18 seats with the other two parties gaining 13 seats. This election saw the Party of Grensalbourg become the largest party, the first time a non-major party won a plurality. This was the biggest single election decrease for a party ever with the PSP losing 18 seats to go from 39 to 21 seats. Coalition building was not particularly hard. The Party of Grensalbourg would reform a coalition with the PSP hoping to actually pass some legitimate left-wing reforms, and included the DLP in the discussions. They'd include the SDP with their 3 seats in the new coalition to reach 52 seats, a majority of 2. The only caveat to PSP cooperation was the resignation of William Baker (PSP) in favour of Louise Bowe–Sengte (PoG). William Baker (PSP) was keen not to be remembered as a terrible PM and persuaded his party to keep him as leader due to extraordinary circumstances, while he became Deputy Prime Minister. The PoG–PS–DLP–SDP coalition, nicknamed the Progressive Grensalbourg for Grensalbourg Coalition (PGfGC) would set out for reforms immediately. Louise Bowe–Sengte (PoG) was elected PM.

2480[edit | edit source]

2 May 2480. Election uses a D'hondt PR method with 1% minimum. 51 for a majority. Louise Bowe–Sengte (PoG) set out to resolve the Mutaar crisis. She would reinstate the Local Representation Act 2472 in the Return of Local Representation Act 2478, and would return all previous incumbents back to their positions without a new election, giving them powers back. Furthermore, the government would invest billions back into cancelled projects led by local governors and mayors to win their support. Bowe–Sengte would engage with Mutaarist leaders and governors to set boundaries on what was and wasn't okay to legislate over. The Equality Act 2478 would set in the constitution new prohibitions on powers local government had, and set a legal way for the Supreme Court to intervene on any clamp down on human rights beyond necessary. The riots quieted down, and some Mutaar riots were given pardons for their actions. Her popularity skyrocketed. She declared the crisis over on 1 November 2478 and stated she was preparing for new federal reforms to please everybody.

The riots had wrecked a lot of economic growth, but the country avoided recession due to numerous local projects with the new investment by the PM. 2480 saw great economic growth take place despite one of the largest government deficits in recent memory. The Liberals campaigned on the deficit being bad, but because the PoG was only aiding the economy's growth and living standards, and having solved the crisis, many didn't care. Because of the good press, Bowe–Sengte called a 'confidence election' in May 2480.

The incumbent PoG–PS–DLP–SDP coalition went from 52 seats to 64 seats, an increase of 12, and the largest seat count for an incumbent coalition ever. Louise Bowe–Sengte was re-elected PM and announced a slimming down of the coalition to just the PoG and the PSP, making up 52 seats, a majority of 2, but would still be open to friendly relations and supply and confidence from the DLP and SDP, but they did not require their votes any longer.

2483[edit | edit source]

6 May 2483. Election uses a D'hondt PR method with 1% minimum. 101 for a majority. Discussing reform, the next election would double the seat count to 201 seats to allow more flexibility in coalitions and votes, allowed smaller parties to gain representation, and prevent the issue of too many vacancies. The increase would also allow a lot more gov't positions to be given out and allowed incumbent parties to have more backbench MPs. The Expansion of Parliament Act 2481 would pass overwhelmingly. Louise Bowe-Sengte focused on rail and infrastructure projects to link the country together, particularly the Eastern Mutaarist areas and the northern undeveloped regions. They also worked with Empherias to link areas of transport throughout 2481 and 2482.

In early 2481, the HKA embargoed Palakkinen after it emerged that they had violated several human rights in the previous few decades, as well as breaking point for the Valesian Genocide. Grensalbourg joined the embargo against Palakkinen in April 2481. Liberal party polling hit 24%, up 6 from the election, due to the impact of this while the PoG dropped to 26%, and the Liberals pressured an early election. Bowe–Sengte stated that the next election would be held as usual in May 2483. By election date, the issue had calmed down slightly and the PoG had improved its position of Palakkinen, ramping up its defence force but being co-operative.

In 2482, the PoG pushed for more Grensalbourgish independence, and established a deal to create the Grensal crown currency which would not be pegged to the Alaxian crone.

Change from last election doubles the previous election results to get a more accurate representation of the change. The PoG–PS coalition held 104 seats before dissolution, a majority of 6. After the results, the PoG–PS coalition held 95 seats, a decrease of 9 from the last election and bringing them into a minority government. The Liberal gain was less than expected, with only 45 seats. Both gov't partners lost seats, the PoG from 68 to 62, and PS from 36 to 33, but these were not major enough to have any real difference. The DLP joined the coalition to form the PoG–PS–DLP coalition with 111 seats, a majority of 20. The election saw Alliance wiped out.

2486[edit | edit source]

2 May 2486. Election uses a D'hondt PR method with no minimum. 101 for a majority. The minimum threshold was removed during this election. PM Louise Bowe–Sengte held regularly scheduled elections in May 2486. The term saw major infrastructure improvements, relations opened with Sarmenia to the north, and another Palakkine Crisis. In mid 2483, the HKA invaded Palakkinen to overthrow the dictator Vesa - who was assassinated on 13 September 2483. Bowe–Sengte held a press conference soon after to reaffirm her support for not only the HKA but also native Palaks in Grensalbourg. She trialled a refugee visa for people escaping the horrors there, allowing them to settle in the east. Critics of the government, as well as partners PSP claimed that the gov't was close to creating an apartheid between the Empheri West and Palak East. Sistynsfell shifted to becoming a pro-Empheri party, focusing on nationalist sentiment in Western Grensalbourg, while Alliance shifted to becoming an anti-apartheid party.

The first Rijkdottir of Grensalbourg, Roxanne I, abdicated on 12 July 2487. Louise III was coronated in late 2487 and was attended by prime minister Bowe–Sengte.

The HKA remained in Palakkinen to oversee a democratisation process. Grensalbourgish politicians and officials also oversaw this. Elections occurred in 2484 in Palakkinen and saw the oligarchic and conservative Sisinic Democrats won very big with very few left wing. Bowe–Sengte feared that co-operation would not improve for the time being. She held regularly scheduled elections in 2486. The incumbent PoG–PS–DLP coalition held 111 seats, a majority of 20, and won 114 seats in this election, a majority of 26 and an increase of 3 seats. Louise Bowe–Sengte was re-elected for a fourth term.

2488[edit | edit source]

30 September 2488. Election uses a D'hondt PR method with no minimum. 101 for a majority. On the 10 year anniversary of her premiership, 21 April 2488, PM Louise Bowe–Sengte announced her resignation as party leader and prime minister. She stayed on as a caretaker until June when the new leader of the PoG, Martyn Greiszen, was elected. He became prime minister on 15 June 2488. With his election, he sought to seek a mandate from the people and called an early election in September 2488 as he was polling quite well. The other parties would focus on the Palakkine crisis and Apartheid, rather than the successes of the past, while Greiszen tried to highlight these accomplishments but it wasn't actually him who passed them. William Baker, former PM from 2476–2478, returned as PSP leader and was trying to turn his image around, he promised to end the apartheid.

The incumbent PoG–PS–DLP coalition held 114 seats, a majority of 26, and won 103 seats in this election, a majority of 4 and a decrease of 11 seats. The PoG fell to third going from 56 to 33 seats, a decrease of 23. The PS skyrocketed to 1st to get 64 seats, an increase of 16. Although the still-second-place Liberals went up similarly by 13 seats from 41 to 54 seats. Because of the PS holding now double the amount of seats as PoG, the coaltion would continue with a majority of 4, but William Baker, the former PM and now leader of the PS again, returned as prime minister once again. This red wave occurred similarly to the one in the Empherias 2487 elections where the PSP won after 12 years of opposition.

2491[edit | edit source]

3 May 2491. Election uses a D'hondt PR method with no minimum. 101 for a majority. Soon after his election in late 2488, Baker held summits with the Empheri prime minister Lucy King on future socialist co-operation between the two countries. The first year of his second term, Baker was doing relatively well and continued initiatives begun during the previous coalition government such as infrastructure development, investment and reforms to the health service and military. Strengthening relations between Grensalbourg and Hvede saw trade increase with Sarmenia, and a lot of deals and agreements were made and more crossings made available. Baker called Sarmenia brothers to Grensalbourg.

On 14 September 2489, the Emperor of the Hveden Federation died, and passed the throne onto the Rijkdottir of Grensalbourg Louise III. She was crowned Empress of the Hveden Federation and ruled both countries in a personal union, linking the two countries together. While it was known that this might happen for many decades now, the reality of it was too much for some people. Republican sentiment had been growing for years now, with people seeing the mainly Empheri monarchy as not fit for purpose or in the interests of the Grensalbourgish people, and a waste of money. Polling had it reach its highest in 2489 as it steadily rose. Many Palaks also hated the monarchy purely because of their Empheri ties, particularly those in the north and east and Mutaarist groups.

The rijkdottir, Louise III, who had only been coronated in 2487, was deathly ill in late 2489, and would die on 8 December 2489 of pneumonia. This was incredibly unexpected as she was only 42 years old. The country went into mourning for two weeks and Baker led her funeral procession. However, because of Louise III's death, the throne passed to George V, who would be coronated in February 2490. The coronation cost a lot of money for the government and people were furious that the personal union took place. Even some royalists recognised that the royal family was beginning to spend more time in the richer Hveden Federation.

Beginning in late 2489 and continuing into 2490, major protests in cities such as Sistyn, but mainly the eastern cities, took place with thousands in attendance. They demanded the abolishment of the monarchy. In August 2490, the First Grensalbourg Civil War took place as the Grensal Republic was proclaimed in the town of Mijguer, the only part of the country south of the Ewynn river. The breakaway state quickly took a lot of territory and would continue fighting until the end of the parliamentary term. This was a huge crisis for the government - another armed rebellion against Baker. He wanted to rally the GDF but faced political issues. He had a majority of 2, with the PS–PoG–DLP holding 103 seats, but the DLP had always been very pro-independence and republican. The DLP was on thin ice with the pandering and cost of the coronation, but would officially pull out of the governing coalition on 1 September 2490 following the declaration of the Grensal Republic stating that "Mr. Baker has failed to keep the protests to a minimum, endangered our citizens just like in 2477, and has caused the largest armed rebellion in history. What is he good for?". A no confidence was held on 5 September 2490, and the government expected to lose 104–97, but they were saved by the Sistynsfell party. They co-operated with the government by claiming that holding an election in 2490 when a large portion of the population could not vote was undemocratic. They pushed for strong leadership, but did not join the coalition formerly.

Baker had a hard time trying to get anything done with a hung parliament and an armed rebellion. The GDF was largely ineffective due to less than stellar funding. Baker did not want to focus on any military focus, instead wanting to solve the crisis democratically and diplomatically and not repeat the 2477 riots which had killed his last premiership. However, he failed. He did secure military aid from the Hveden Federation and the High Kingdoms of Alaxia in March 2491, and his intelligence officers discovered that Palakkinen was aiding the Grensal Republic heavily and investing in pro-Palak propaganda, but regardless of this they were doing badly in polls. A snap election was called just a week after the announcement of aid from the HKA. The Liberal party had a track record of solving national security crisis's like this, and the Liberal leader was the former Minister of Defence Stephanie Breksen from 2465. Breksen was 69 years old and would be the oldest candidate of one of the major parties in history. Despite the civil war being ongoing, it was agreed to dissolve parliament for early elections in May to solve the government issue. Sources indicated Baker supported the move, being exhausted and worried about his tainted legacy. The PSP had essentially given up governance.

The results saw a bombastic result, one of the most dramatic elections in history. The incumbent PS–PoG government went from 97 seats to just 37 seats. The PS themselves lost 56 seats, the largest single loss of seats for any party in any election in history. It beats out the previous records, 3rd place also set by William Baker leading the PS in the 2478 election when they lost 18 seats, and 2nd place set by the Party of Grensalbourg losing 23 seats in the previous 2488 election. The PS went from the largest party to the fifth largest party, and their popular vote fell to below 5% from over 30%, a dramatic defeat. William Baker had already subconsciously resigned prior to the election, but he resigned with immediate effect as party leader the day after the election. The Liberal party gained 55 seats, the largest single gain for a party in any election, and doubled their vote share from 26% to 52%. It was the first time a single party won a majority of the vote share ever. With this, they won 109 seats, a majority of 16, without needing a single coaltion. It was the first Liberal government since 2476, when they lost that election to William Baker's PS. Stephanie Breksen became the oldest PM, aged 69.

2494[edit | edit source]

6 May 2494. Election uses a D'hondt PR method with no minimum. 101 for a majority. Following the election, the Liberal party would solely focus on putting down the Grensal Republic during the engulfing civil war. They began quickly, mobilising international aid and the GDF, and sent in military into Mijguer from across the Ewynn. The aftermath of the war's conclusion in late 2491 saw the Palakkinen government pay billions in reparations which Breksen would use to fund tax cuts rather than investment into rebuilding local areas, which angered people. The PS did not regain much favourability in polling and had huge infighting. The DLP claimed they were now the party of the left and promoted local authority fundings. Breksen, having only been Minister of Defence previously, was a good prime minister for the war but in its aftermath did not do much to help rebuild the country, but she was still widely approved of.

Stephanie Breksen would hold a regularly scheduled election in 2494. The Liberal party was the largest party with 76 seats but losing 33 from the last election and their overall majority. They were short 25 of a majority so needed a new coalition. The DLP moved into second place becoming the main left wing party, increasing their seat count from 19 to 58, an increase of 39. The coalition would require at least three parties to have enough seats to form a government. After intense negotations, the Party of Grensalbourg agreed to support the Liberals alongside the Nationalists, avoiding the Mutaarists in government. The coalition of L–PoG–N held 102 seats, a majority of 2.

2497[edit | edit source]

2 May 2497. Election uses a D'hondt PR method with no minimum. 101 for a majority. Economic stagnation without much investment disappointed many. The prime minister Stephanie Breksen was 75 years old and many saw her as too old. The DLP focused a campaign on change, reform, and investment, the Liberals moved away from economic issues and towards a bit of a culture war, which diluted their support heavily.

The incumbent coalition government of L–PoG–N held 102 seats going into the election, a majority of 2, but decreased by 36 to 66 seats, short 35 of an overall majority. The Liberal party in particular went from 37% to 22%, a decrease of 15pp while the opposition DLP went from 28% to 37%, an increase of 9pp, and surpassing the popular vote achieved by the Liberals in the previous election. The Liberals would have a very difficult time trying to forge a new coalition, and would require at least 3 parties from varying ideologies for a grand 6 party alliance. The left, with the largest party by a large margin, would try and form a coalition. The DLP ruled out working with the Party of Grensalbourg who had shifted right due to its participation in the previous government. Sistynsfell was open to working with the DLP on some conditions, while the PS would re-enter government. The new DLP–SF–PS coalition held 101 seats, the bare minimum for a majority, a very precarious position. Although, they could rely on parties such as the Evergreens and SDP who held 6 seats for left-wing bills. The new prime minister of the DLP, James Lewis, was elected.

2500[edit | edit source]

13 May 2500. Election uses a D'hondt PR method with no minimum. 101 for a majority. The incumbent DLP–SF–PS coalition, which held 101 seats, was not super stable and particularly the Sistynsfells kept demanding more and more right-wing concessions or else dissolving the coalition. Despite this, the government passed a lot of significant reforms, specifically raising taxes to pay for welfare state expansion alongside investment back into the state. Economic growth did grow, and investment from the HKA helped.

Several parties decided not to run in this election as mounting campaign costs saw diminishing results. The Free Liberals were the first to announce their exit having consistently won under 0.1% of the vote. The Palak Neverots formally merged with the Mutaarists to consolidate their vote and policy, and the Alliance party and SDP suspended their campaigns.

The ruling government went from 101 seats to 110 seats, an increase of 9, and went from the bare minimum majority of 0 to a majority of 18. The DLP–SF–PS coalition was reformed and James Lewis was re-elected prime minister for a second term.

2503[edit | edit source]

10 May 2503. Election uses a D'hondt PR method with 5% threshold. 101 for a majority. James Lewis would call a regularly scheduled election in 2503 after three years of good economic growth and prosperity. The SDP planned to run again after getting costs, but instead focused on local elections to gain some form of representation instead. Sistynsfell did not demand much, enjoying the economic prosperity of the government, and focused on local issues. The Conservatives decided to focus on local government too. On 1 May 2502, a referendum on switching from no minimum threshold to 5% minimum threshold like other PR systems nationwide passed 55% to 45%. Some believed the DLP campaigned for the heightened threshold hoping to kill off the PS, their main rival

The incumbent governing coalition of DLP–SF-PS held 110 seats, a majority of 18, going into the election. The minimum threshold meant that the PS were unable to win any seats, and forced them out of the coalition. The new threshold seemed to help the winning party by a lot, with the PS increasing their seat count by 17 seats with only a 3 percent point popular share increase. The DLP–SF government went from 110 seats last time to 118 seats this time, an increase of 8 seats despite losing a party. They went from a majority of 18 to a majority of 34. However, the DLP dissolved the coalition because they on their own had 100 seats. This was short 1 of a majority, but they decided to act as a minority government and would work with each party on a case by case basis. The DLP elected James Lewis for a third term with support from the SF and Party of Grensalbourg.

2506[edit | edit source]

13 May 2506. Election uses a D'hondt PR method with 5% threshold. 101 for a majority. In a political address to the DLP conference in June 2505, James Lewis stated that he would step down as party leader on 1 July 2505 and thus prime minister after 8 years in office. A blow to the party, as the DLP hit over 50% as an average of polls in late 2503 and early 2504, a huge result. His replacement was an establishment DLP figure waiting his turn. Believing that Breksen did well despite her age, long time DLP politician Edwin Helga (who was 82 years old) was elected on the back of the establishment endorsements and good will. With an election in May 2506, he had less than a year to focus on the future of his party.

Party signups for the election took place earlier on 1 February 2506, and the PS dropped out to focus on local races, while the Evergreens and Nationalists suspended their campaigns to endorse the PoG and Liberals respectively. On 25 February, Edwin Helga suffered two strokes which made his health much much worse. The PS were annoyed that they could've potentially swung votes from the DLP on the basis of his ability, but the signups had concluded. While Helga remained out of the public eye, the newly elected Liberal leader was very energetic and led a new vision on hope for the country. In January 2506, polling had DLP on 35% and Liberals on 24%, but by March that had gone to 30% and 29% respectively. Many DLP people and the party tried to overthrow Helga fearing electoral defeat, but he was very adamant about his recovery. He made an appearance on TV two weeks before elections to try and get a sympathy vote for his illness, but instead many saw that at such an old age with a losing memory and health consequences, even his supporters wanted him to retire.

Many flocked to the Workers party being the only other broadly less wing party, which helped raised communist issues into the public eye. The results saw the incumbent DLP go from 100 seats to 32 seats, a decrease of 68, setting the record for the largest single drop of seats in an election, beating the previous record set by the PS in 2491, which the party never recovered from. The seats went half and half to the Liberals and the Workers party, with both gaining around 30 seats. In the case of the Workers party, they went from 0 seats to 31 seats, a very good result for them. The Liberals were short 27 seats for a majority, and negotiations with the DLP or Workers party were out of the window, which meant that they'd need at least 2 other parties. They would reform the old coalition of L–PoG to reach 100 seats, short 1 of a majority, but would hope for votes from other parties on issues they cared about. Liberal leader Alexander Elegy was elected prime minister.

2508[edit | edit source]

29 September 2508. Election uses a D'hondt PR method with no threshold. 101 for a majority. Alexander Elegy would first encounter a crisis during the 2507 financial crisis which affected worldwide trade. The crisis came around due to the sanctions of major powers on the High Kingdoms of Alaxia breaking globalisation. With Grensalbourg so reliant on the HKA economy, the HKA's economic contraction and loss of trade caused major economic turmoil for Grensalbourg. Prices rose exponentially as resources and products dropped dramatically in supply which saw inflation soar to over 20% within three months. In an attempt to make government expenditure lower and decrease the deficit, the Liberals privatised some utilities like water and electricity. On 18 August 2507, with inflation hitting 21.5% and the economy entering recession, the Parliament voted no confidence in the government. The vote saw all other parties outside of government vote to dissolve parliament, which would've been enough 101–100, but several Party of Grensalbourg members also rebelled. The election was called early. No threshold was given for this election because of the lack of confidence in the house and the worrying economic crisis, a specific exception given by the King.

The rebranded Labour party, formerly the DLP and SDP parties, attempted to win over the people. The Workers party soared in the party with representation in parliament allowing them to spread their message. The L–PoG coalition held 100 seats, short 1 of a majority, going into the elections. After the results, they held 26 seats, a decrease of 74 seats (3/4ths of their seats). Labour soared from 32 seats to 79, and the Workers party soared to 66 seats from 31. The DLP would be short 21 seats, and so were forced to coalition with the Workers party or else suffer a 3-party wide-ideological coalition. The workers would demand a lot of democratic socialist and communist reforms. Sofia Evie, leader of Labour, was elected PM.

2511[edit | edit source]

1 October 2511. Election uses a D'hondt PR method with 5% threshold. 101 for a majority. Sofia Evie's Lab–W coalition held a large majority of 88 but her price for this was compromise was socialist and communist policies. The immediate issues were the high inflation rates, decrease in imports and exports, and a recession. However, a drought in 2508 saw water shortages and crop failures make problems worse. 2509 was one of the worst years in Grensalbourgish history. Food shortages saw prices spike in that sector and inflation hit 36.4%. Large scale strikes took place demanding better pay as many couldn't afford essentials. People couldn't afford food but couldn't grow any either. Major water companies, which had been privatised in 2507 under the Liberal government, quickly went bankrupt and had to be absorbed by the state across January–March. The period between September and March is often called the 'Summer of Destruction'.

Sofia Evie had declared herself Foreign Secretary as well as prime minister and spent a lot of the summer negotiating with the Sarmenian, Empherian, and Alaxian heads of states on aid to Grensalbourg, but many had their own problems. The biggest problem, food, was aided when the government of Empherias agreed to reopen trade on the eastern border. Local authorities such as Esthullen and Stadtkaas would independently export extra food to Grensalbourg, and a percentage of food imported to the HKA would be designated for Grensalbourg. They were also promised 10 billion in fiscal aid. This was all on the condition that Grensalbourg would re-adopt the Alaxian krone. Knowing that this would also help the rising inflation crisis, Sofia Evie agreed. The Treaty of Sistyn signed on 1 May 2509 would abolish the Grensalbourg crown, although it would be accepted until 2512 for people looking to transfer.

Evie had done a decent job during the crisis to set up a rations station. The leader of the Workers party, Agnes Chamberlain, was appointed Home Secretary in October 2508 and would set about reforming the cabinet and the country to prepare for reconstruction. When the water companies went bust, Chamberlain created the Department of Water headed by the Secretary of Water Peter Boyd, also of the Workers party. They would establish a state-owned company structured as a co-operative non-profit competitor. The state would seize all assets of defunct water companies. The department would handle rationing and production. Chamberlain would also establish the same for electricity, but it would be a competitor to current private businesses. The Secretary of Energy was Stella Kerr who would also try and invest into greener energies such as solar and wind power. With the drought, nuclear was not prioritised.

by June 2509, the crisis was improving with the switch to the alaxian krone, nationalised water and energy bringing down prices, and food imports coming in (although not in large enough amounts), Sofia Evie, her chancellor Ben Reveille, and her treasury adviser Viktoria Murphy, announced a sharp rise to minimum wage. 2510 saw a softening of the economic crisis although the economy still wasn't growing. Inflation had become much less of an issue and the drought's effects began to wear off. The Workers party began initiatives to give more power to trade unions to stop them striking.

The regularly scheduled elections took place in October 2511 saw the Lab–W coalition enter with 145 seats, a majority of 88. The Conservatives stood in this election. The incumbent Lab–W coalition won 161 seats, a majority of 120, and an increase of 16 from the previous election. Individually the Labour and Workers party gained 7 and 9 seats respectively. This was a good boost for the ruling coalition and gave them a good mandate again. The Mutaars became the official opposition, defeating the Liberals. Only 4 parties received representation in parliament this election, with the SF and Party of Grensalbourg both winning 0 seats because of the 5% threshold. Sofia Evie was re-elected prime minister.

Many consider this the death of Liberalism in the country. Many centrists viewed the Labour party as the centre slash right wing party on most issues over the Liberals, as the workers party were the left wing. The Lab–W coalition was known as the Grand Coalition because of its supposed opposing ideologies in the fight against the crisis overcoming the country.

2513[edit | edit source]

22 June 2513. Election uses a D'hondt PR method with 5% threshold. 101 for a majority. Tensions had been rising with Palakkinen since 2508 but it was put on the back burner due to more pressing issues with food and the economic crisis. The Mutaarist Mercenary Battalion (MMB) conducted several large scale protests and riots in Mutaarist majority areas in Eastern Grensalbourg with the help of the Mutaarist party but with looming strikes elsewhere, attention was not focused there. Without any resolution, the MMB ramped up their efforts throughout 2511 and 2512. General Endrets Heins, and Communications Officer Aleksis Kimmen, lead the formation of an organised group known as the Free Palaks Group (FPG) in 2509, and partnered with the Mutaarist party officially in 2510.

With the economic crisis softening, Evie and her government reviewed the MMB and FPG and would declare them terrorist organisations in 2512. Several terrorist attacks and further riots in 2512 saw a warrant put out for Heins and Kimmen's arrest in 2513. Fearing imprisonment, Heins and the MMB launched the Prison Rebellion, officially beginning the Second Grensalbourg Civil War in April 2513. The Mutaarist party was expelled from parliament following their official siding with the FPG, leaving 26 vacancies, as Kimmen formed the MFRA, a faux parliament to rival the Grensalbourg parliament. The Free Palak Republic of Mijguer (FPRM) was formed, signing the 'Kimmen Document' declaring the Grensalbourg government to be illegimate to all Mutaarist Palaks living in Grensalbourg.

The gov't would appoint Arthur Rosenberg as Secretary of Defence and tasked him with with the mobilisation of the GDF. Many hundreds were dead in the initial prison rebellion, but the FPRM had occupied many eastern territories and the main objective first of all was to prevent military expansion by the FPRM. Palakkinen soon began to supply the FPRM with weapons and money, prompting the HKA to do so publicly to Grensalbourg on 31 May 2513.

The government lost a lot of legitimacy in Palak-dominated areas. In the Mutaarist party's place was the brand new Expulsion party, which was far-right and pro-Palak, without officially being partnered to the FPRM. A snap election was called in June 2513 to fill the vacancies left and asked the public for confidence in the Labour party's conduct of the upcoming civil war. The incumbent Lab–W grand coalition held 161 seats, a majority of 120, before the election. Afterwards, it won 185 seats, a majority of 168, and an increase of 24 seats. This was because the Mutaarist successor fell from 12pc of the popular vote to just 2pc, leaving their 26 seats to be divided among the three parties who won seats. With only three parties winning seats, many saw this election as undemocratic because of the 5% threshold. Because of this, the Labour party agreed to hold a referendum on 1 January 2514 about changing the threshold back to 1%. with no threshold, 24 seats would've been given to smaller parties, with parties like Sistynsfell getting possibly 9 seats, although with the coalition getting over 80% of the popular vote, a landslide was guaranteed regardless.

2516[edit | edit source]

9 July 2516. Election uses a D'hondt PR method with 5% threshold. 101 for a majority. The 2514 referendum on moving to a 1% threshold saw 42.5% in favour and 57.5% against. The government campaign against changing the threshold was around protections during the war and preventing extremist minor parties. The Liberal, Conservative, and Sistynsfells decided to form the National Liberal Coaltion to try and get around the 5% threshold and hold a larger opposition. Prime minister Sofia Evie held regularly scheduled elections in July 2516. The government could ensure that citizens of the FPRM were able to vote leading to a heavily decreased turnout for Palaks. Many boycotted the vote too.

By July 2514, the main bloody first period of the civil war had began to quieten down. On 1 September 2514, Sofia Evie addressed the nation stating that 'the national crisis from 2507 has finally concluded'. The gov't began a period of reconstruction, passing legislation to invest in rebuilding in captured FPRM although large amounts of FPRM territory remained seized. Military spending increased though and the state had less tax revenue but the economy was doing decently and HKA was aiding production. In some northern provinces where Palaks were still living in communities, some passed Voluntary apartheid acts which would allow quick, cheap, and easy relocation for Palaks who felt isolated in otherwise Empheri communities, creating certain Palaktown communities.

Prior to the election, the incumbent Lab–W grand coalition held 185 seats, a majority of 168. After the election they received 164 seats, a majority of 126, but a decrease of 21 seats. The NL coalition received 37 seats, up 21 from the previous Liberal result. The National Liberal Coalition as a whole calculated by the D'hondt calculation, but the 37 seats they received where then subsequently divided on the party list by the 3 parties using their own d'hondt method. Sofia Evie was re-elected prime minister and the Lab–W reformed.

2519[edit | edit source]

13 July 2519. Election uses a D'hondt PR method with 5% threshold. 101 for a majority. Sofia Evie would hold regularly scheduled elections in July 2519 after three years. Because of the high threshold, some opposition figures from the Liberal party and the Party of Grensalbourg decided to merge with the Labour party, hoping to influence party politics from within via their caucus system. The war was relatively quiet, but Evie announced that they would begin an offensive into Breszwynn to regain territory from the FPRM in March 2519, four months prior to elections. This was after years of stockpiling equipment and intelligence. The offensive, by the time of the election, was going well despite an unexpected high amount of casualties.

The incumbent Lab–W grand coalition held 164 seats, a majority of 126, going into the elections. In the election, they received a joint 169 seats, a majority of 136, and an increase of 5 seats. The NL coalition received 32 seats, down 5 from the previous election. Sofia Evie was re-elected prime minister for her fifth term.

2522[edit | edit source]

9 July 2522. Election uses a D'hondt PR method with 5% threshold. 101 for a majority. Following the conclusion of the Breszwynn offensive in September 2519, Sofia Evie announced her resignation as PM on 7 October 2519. Having been in office for 11 years and done some amazing things in office, she wanted to leave having used up all of her ideas and wanting to leave on a high note. Her successor was Viktoria Murphy, who was slightly further to the right than Evie, thanks to votes from Liberal defectors who had joined the party in years prior. Murphy was a big proponent of unification with Empherias or joining the High Kingdoms of Alaxia.

After the conclusion of the Breszwynn offensive in September 2519, the President of the FPRM Kump was assassinated in early 2520. After a brief border skirmish between Empherias and the PFRM in May 2520, which aided Murphy's position. Empherias would conduct major bombings of Mijguer targets and across the Ewynn in late 2521. Things would heat up significantly in 2522 with Korkensein's presidency over the FPRM. Beginning in December 2521, the FPRM would began an offensive towards Leseurie, which would cause a lot of casualties for civilians living in the area. The gov't ordered an evacuation from areas nearby and compensation.

Viktoria Murphy was friends with many in the Liberal party leadership. On 1 June 2522, just after parliament's dissolution for the 2522 elections, the Labour–Workers coalition announced it would be dissolved after disagreements between the new leader and others. Labour was open to working with the Liberal party in a coalition, but not the Conservatives or Sistynsfell. A terrorist attack took place in Sistyn in June 2522 orchestrated by the FPRM which was the deadliest non-war related incidents in Grensalbourgish history, killing hundreds. Viktoria Murphy in retaliation ordered a new offensive to begin later that month to push back the FPRM to the Breszwynn river. They also ramped up military spending, intelligence spending, and co-operation with Empherias. A quick bombing run of Mijguer took place, which was criticised because of alleged indiscrimination between civilian and military targets. On 10 June 2522, Murphy denounced Palakkine involvement in the war and officially ceased all diplomatic ties and issued sanctions.

The governments of the HKA and Hvede Federation issued sanctions soon after on Palakkinen, putting immense pressure on their economy.

The Lab–W grand coalition held 169 seats, but the individual parts held 93 and 76 seats respectively. Labour was expected to receive a huge boost from the terrorist attacks and their efforts to push on FPRM targets. On 20 June 2522, the Labour party announced it would merge with the Liberal party to form the Labour–Liberal party. Although parliament was dissolved at the time, this Lab–Lib party would've held 109 seats, a majority of 16. The Sistynsfell and Conservatives remained in the National Liberal Coalition, although they renamed it to the National Conservative Coalition (NCC). The election saw the Labour–Liberal party receive 115 seats, a majority of 28, and an increase of 22 seats from their estimated previous result. The NCC collapsed from 32 seats to 10 seats without Liberal support. The expulsion party won no seats. Viktoria Murphy was re-elected to her second term.

2525[edit | edit source]

12 July 2525. Election uses a D'hondt PR method with 5% threshold. 101 for a majority. Viktoria Murphy would continue the offensive to push back the FPRM, and destroyed an Ewynn crossing near Tweiser in August 2522. Further border skirmishes with Empheras by the FPRM in early 2523 saw further alignment between Empherias and Grensalbourg. The FPRM received official recognition from Palakkinen in April 2523 leading to Grensalbourg engaging in further diplomatic attacks against Palakkinen. Major bombing runs took place over Bresznew in May 2523. By August 2523, fighting had slowed down significantly. With Rauhallinen's presidency beginning in September 2523, Murphy would try and normalise relations with the FPRM across 2524. Murphy adopted a policy of ignoring the FPRM, and would prioritise reform and investment in western Grensalbourg. With new elections to the FPRM's parliament in late 2524, the Murphy government internally seriously discussed permanent separation.

A leak took place on 5 April 2525 speculating that Murphy had given up on FPRM reunification, which sparked backlash. Public but unofficial meetings would then take place between Murphy and Rauhallinen throughout May to July before elections. Murphy did many speeches, hoping for reunification one day. At the same time, she also floated unification into the HKA for better protections with a large amount of Emphers in Grensalbourg supporting this. Polls for unification with Empherias or the HKA hit as high at 41.5% before election day.

The Labour–Liberal party won 115 seats, no change from the previous election, securing another 28 seat majority. The National Conservatives gained 6 seats at the expense of the Workers party, increasing their seat count by over 50%, but still not a large force in government yet. Expulsion won no seats.

With a population of 5,001,465, and 80.59% of registered voters and a turnout of 92.75%, the total number of voters this election was 3,738,456.

Next general election[edit | edit source]

The next election is expected to be held using a D'hondt PR method with 5% threshold, needing 101 seats for a majority. The election must be held before 1 August 2528.

In a major piece of normalising relations, Murphy announced an investment plan into the FPRM to rebuild Mijguer in September 2525. Many were shocked that she would work with the enemy, although Murphy prioritised human wellbeing during this tough time. An official ceasefire was signed in October 2525, although Murphy re-iterated that she still wanted unification down the road to come peacefully.

In June 2526, warning shots were fired on the border, followed by a terrorist attack, which is shaking relations thoroughly.

With polls suggesting unification into the HKA or Empherias could be at around 45% of the population with zero national parties interested in championing it, a new party was founded on 1 July 2526 called the High Alaxian Party, a broad tent party with a single issue.

Polling expects the Labour–Liberal party to win a very slim majority at the next election if polls do not narrow. The best result for the government would be a 24 seat majority, a decrease of just 2, while the worst result would be decreasing by 33 seats to just 82 seats, being short 19 of a majority, and forcing a coalition with either the Workers party on 69 seats or the High Alaxian party on 49 seats.
