All About Politics!

As the mess that's politics has been sorted out, this issue is all about politics, and who you should vote for.

Reported and Written by Polit Ikaciadam

Spoiler: show

While alot of parties of different beliefs have been formed, 2 main parties have come on top in the recent polls. Cabbagelandetia Brassican Party, or the CBA, known for their conservative outlook, the Liberty Front, which is a coalition of liberal parties. Smaller parties have been basically forgotten, and it seems these 2 parties will get atleast %85 of the votes. Citizens are expected to be casting their votes the next day, with voting starting in 8:00. We are going to be interviewing both of the parties leaders, and G.Pr. Brassicus II after the election ends. Goodbye, and Brassica Bless.

On other news...
- Several goers of in a Lodjan ship, currently in the Festival of Sail, were seen running out of the boat panicking. Officials have refused to comment why the panic happened.
- G.Pr. Brassicus II has gone to the Festival of Sail, reason unknown.

Cabbagelandiet, as a lesser known nation itself would love to have an embassy at Luxland. I, as Grand Preacher Brassicus II would have loved to attent, but I am busy due to matters in the Festival of Sail, which you know what happened. Instead, I will send a promising diplomat and Brassicus III to you. We also have an empty quarter in the palace and if you would like to, we can repurpouse it as an Luxlandian Ambassadorship. Brassica Prime Bless you all.

"Well we want the body do be transferred discreetly." said Kara Rsizadam, "There are elections coming up, and we shouldn't overwhelm the people. Also, we should have a very special visitor come about right now..."

Kara Rsizadam's word was cut in half by a stranger in green armor and in a green cape entering. "Kara Rsizadam, how is my dear?" the man said. "Well she's fine, they have made arrangements so we can have a discreet transfer.", Kara Rsizadam stood up to greet the stranger. The stranger noticed everyone looking at him. "Ah, where are my manners?" said the man, taking off his gloves to shake hands with everyone "I'm Lahana Vaizi, also known as Brassicus II to the outside world. I would have liked to meet all of you and come to the festival in a better mood, but SOMEONE..." Brassicus looked at Kara Rsizadam while saying that, "... decided that my wife would be better off dead on a boat. Kara Rsizadam, you're dismissed, you might be good at educating diplomats, but you're as useful as a rotten cabbage in diplomacy yourself" Brassica paused for a moment, waiting for Kara Rsizadam to get out. "Well, store all your sadness and all that for the funeral itself, and moving aside, as I don't want to be ruining a happy day for you with my sadness." Brassicus started talking with a happier, lighter voice. "I heard that two people by the name of Freya and Alex adopted a child? I have a gift for the sword-loving little one, a pommel and a cross-guard, made with steel and ornomanted with gold in a cabbage-y way. Would you be so kind do lead me to the place where those two lucky people reside, so I can give this gift?"

"Uh err..." Kara Rsizadam wasn't expecting all the attention. What was he supposed to talk about anyway? He was just going to welcome the host and get a few drinks but then the guy lead him to a woman who is a lady-in-waiting and he got greeted in a weird cheeky way, he only kissed her hand since that was the Cabbagelandetian way, and now he's supposed to talk about what happened? Eh, a conversation wouldn't hurt and hey, Brassicus II was looking for someone to marry with, since his wife was on a dead-but-not-dead-yet situation. Still, the greeting and the fancy-woman-equals-leader thing was weird, every bloody thing was weird to Kara Rsizadam. He was doing some fancy conversational-math-calculations, and while calculating, G.Prs. Bergit arrived, sitting next to Kara Rsizadam. He hoped that Bergit wouldn't kick the bucket publicly. He introduced Bergit to everyone, Bergit just looked tiredly to everyone, and Kara Rsizadam was weirded out by the hand on his knee. Lodjans were a tad bit too friendly... Anyways Kara Rsizadam muttered some prayer, praying for Bergit to not kick bucket today and for the conversation to go well. Alright, breath in, breath out, glory to Brassica, and chat!

"Well I'm happy to meet you milady.." Kara Rsizadam said in a weirded out voice, anxiously staring at the hand on his knee. What the bloody hell... Anyways he continued, praying that Brassica helps the sanity of the Lodjans. "Well I, actually we, have come here on a mission to make people know that our glorious nation exists, and to find new allies and friends and all the such. Well the person next to me is G.Prs. Bergit, wife to our Grand Preacher and Glorious Leader Brassicus II. She was bored around sitting in the palace so she came here, since Brassicus II rules our country." He wanted Lodjans to know that Brassicus II was ruler, unlike in upside-down-Lodjia-land. Bergit coughed while he was thinking that. "And you asked for news from Cabbagelandiet? Well the elections returned back, we have a council and all that, to be elected next week. G.Prs. Bergit is kind of deadly ill... " Bergit cut in to the conversation, coughing heavily, "Ah good Brassica, if I die, you're invited to my funeral!" Bergit laughed, the irony of talking about her own death being funny to her. "Brassicus II is a good man, and you would do good to try to be his next wife!" Bergit started coughing heavily, skin turning pale. Kara Rsizadam said "Are... you okay?" with anxiety, while Bergit was coughing and laughing a bit maniacally, "Well, I'm dying Kara Rsizadam, you useless wank-" Bergit's eyes shut down for the last time, her bucket being kicked, and Kara Rsizadam sighed. "Well, this was... inevitable. I think I will go and call Mr. Brassicus now... I will be back, the Cabbagelandetian Air Service should pick up the body, you don't have to worry about that, and erm... Erm... Brassica speed?" Kara Rsizadam and Cabbagelandiet had planned for Bergit's death, but a public death?! Kara Rsizadam rushed outside to call Brassicus II on the phone and inform him. After his call was done, Kara Rsizadam went back to the room and started waiting around the body.

Well the question about the arms was easy to answer, "Well friend, we need everything." said Karn Ibahar, starting to calculate how much everything would cost. The Cabbagelandetian military was small, so they didn't need many weapons, but then the... Well stuff was complicated, and maths wasn't Karn's job. He hoped that his "rudeness" wouldn't tamper with the arms deal.

As promised by Grand Preacher and Glorious Leader Brassicus II, new law allowing elections have been implemented. Citizens are encorouged to decide which party to vote on soon, as elections are to be done next week, and the first parties have been formed, with encorougment from G.Prc. Brassicus II himself. Three parties have been formed by now, with more pending approval at the office. The parties will contend for seats at the Grandoise Council of Cabbagelandiet. Some have expressed concern, saying that the council doesn't have enough power, while some say that the Holy Authority of the Grand Preacher shouldn't be diminished and the council shouldn't have much power. Whatever happens we hope that Brassica Prime helps us get through these times. More about the parties and the election in our politics edition next week.

Cabbagelandiet was a nation on the coast, but the modernization attempts started by Grand Preacher Brassicus II didn't really care about the navy, since land forces were more important, Cabbagelandiet didn't even have any kind of Head of Navy. But still, Cabbagelandiet had some beutiful ships from the good ol' days and that was something unique to show off. Kara Rsizadam didn't have any naval knowledge of any sort, but he was a diplomat. And he has brought Grand Preachress Bergit over since she needed a holiday aswell. I mean, Bergit didn't do anything, since Grand Preacher and Glorious Leader Brassicus II the Great was in charge of the country, but sitting in a palace was boring aswell. Both had no idea what the festival was, Kara Rsizadam just came there to find friends of diplomatical nature and strike deals, G.Prs. Bergit just wanted some fresh air.

Both of them boarded the ship called "Believer", an old ship somehow still in use, with it's non-functional cannons. Kara Rsizadam had a hard time with sea-sickness, as he always travelled by plane. But Kara Rsizadam was still fascinated by ships, wondering how bigger and modern-er ships looked. While looking around he noticed the ship of the... Lodjans? The ship certainly looked nice and once the boat landed he decided to go and look at the Lodjan ship. Not knowing anyone there, he went an greeted the fanciest looking man on the ship.

"Umm, hello friend." It was always weird doing introductions to complete strangers. Most of the times he met leader and other important personages. "I come as the diplomat from Cabbagelandiet and I would love to meet the people here." Kara Rsizadam hoped that he had greeted the right person...

}----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------{

G.Prs. Bergit was alone now that Kara Rsizadam was gone. Holidays are great, but they are less great-er when you don't know what to do. She decided to stroll around, looking at ships. None of those ships looked as glorious as "Believer", all these "modern" ships were metal, grey and boring. Nothing can beat some good 'ol oak! Or is it birch? Maple? Who knows! The ship was built a century ago for Brassicas sake! She hoped that someone would come and talk to her. Holidays are less-great-er-er when you are alone. But those ships looked glorious. Maybe she could convince Grand Preacher Brassicus II to focus more on the navy. And still, her health was still deteroating, everyday being near-death day. Nobody knew what the disease or problem was, and Brassicus II, even though he was faithful, was looking for next-in-line-wife. But those problems could rest for now, as she had bigger matters, like being at a festival and finding something to do.

Following Brassicus II's democratization and un-democratization events after he seized power, The Cabbagelandiet Times was created to inform his subjects of what in the bloody hell was going on. The newspaper publishes news every weekend but an early release of news might come if an important thing has happened.

"Ah Kaleaşnikoff? Qalaşnikov? Kalashnikov? Is that how you pronounce it? Well friend we would love some of those, since those muskets can't fire that quickly... I guess I will go and call Karn Ibahar if our military budget can afford those, which we have a huge one so we probably have enough to supply a couple of divisions. Actually, I will call him now, excuse me."

Kara Rsizadam was happy that he had an excuse for a smoke break and an excuse for a bonus with his succesfull diplomacy. Kara Rsizadam went to a corner and started talking with Karn Ibahar, Head of Army, while lighting up his smoke.

"Hello Karn Ibahar, hopefully your family is going well... Oh your wife is angry again? Don't worry I have a thing to make you forget about it, we actually have a potential to get weaponry now... Mhm mhm... Oh it's those Kalashnikovs everyone is talking about. You have the budget? Oh I didn't ask the price of the guns. I think you may need to come over to negotiate. Yeah, pretty sure there's a flight coming over soon. Alright then, Brassicaspeed my friend." With his phone conversation over, Kara Rsizadam went back to the parade.
___________________________________________________________________________________________

Karn Ibahar wasn't expecting to come over for diplomacy. All he did was do military stuff, not diplomatic stuff. And his wife was angry again. Atleast it was a nice vacation away from family and all that. He quickly landed in the Artyomovian airport and started walking to the parade grounds and found a seat next to the president. Before speaking he took a look over the parade. He was kind of scared from big militaries, considering Cabbagelandiet had a small and underequipped force and somebody could invade them easily. Karn Ibahar composed his best diplomacy-voice and started speaking.

"Hello President, I see you have a glorious military here. Well not as glorious as our military, but close. Sorry for forgetting an introduction, I am Karn Ibahar, Head of the Glorious Cabbagelandetian Military. I heard from Kara Rsizadam that you could supply us with Kaleashnekofs? Our military funding is vast and we would gladly pay generously for armaments and knowledge on how to improve our own armaments, as we still use muskets and bolt-action rifles."

While Cabbagelandiet's military is indeed glorious, the isolation of the country has left them under-equipped but over-manned. The BRA-21 is seriously outdated compared to the equipment of other nations, and the rifle isn't produced much since factories are scarce. That's why most soldiers stick with muskets, and rifles aren't given to the militia, with the soldiers having to bring a bowl from their house, the bowls getting repurpoused as helmets. Most of the military is composed of militia, and the army is stuck with having no vehicles or air support.

Kara Rsizadam was currently thinking about where to and how to take a smoking break when the question hit un-expectedly. Hey, the guy had called him friend, and Cabbagelandiet needed some of those friends so their 6 million people wouldn't get conquered, Kara Rsizadam thunk about a good reply and started to speak.

"Ah friend! Well, our fledgling nation is going quite well! Our Glorious Leader and Preacher Brassicus II the Chaste has just done the process of going on as the Head of State (and pretty much head of everything), some people think him abolishing the corrupt elections was bad, but our leader has promised elections are coming back soon... With less corrupted-ness. Our military has been modernizing rapidly, finally abandoning their swords and all that, though we have been having to use muskets and old rifles stol-- I mean acquired from museums since no one else will sell us any modern weaponry, which the glorious leader and preacher hopes to fix by finding a friend among this mad world of diplomacy. And the most important thing is, the leaders children are behaving for once, Brassica bless!" Kara Rsizadam made the best imitation of a laugh he could.

Kara Rsizadam took another deep breath, hoping that he had actually managed to succeed in diplomacy for once, and quickly remembering to add one last thing.
"Also friend, we have a good wood industry, actually woodchip but close enough, maybe we could get a shelf for you, to put all these gifts people have been giving you."

Brasicus II had just seized total control and was busy at home dealing with the state. He instead sent his Minister of Foreign Affairs, Kara Rsizadam and the leaders 2 oldest children, Heir-Preacher Brasicus III and Bergit II to the event.  Cabbagelandiet had been in a tough spot, as they had been a new state and were looking for new friends of diplomatic nature, and Kara Rsizadam was hoping to acquire some.

Kara Rsizadam was excited as he got off the plane, hoping to get to a dark corner and take a smoking break but Brassica III and Bergit II would need supervision so they wouldn't start a crisis. The group decided to go shopping a bit before adressing their host.
"Well the food is varied here." said Heir-Preacher Brassica III as he looked around. All his home has were alot of cabbage-based foods and products. He decided to try some with his sister Bergit II.
While the two were having their food, Kara Rsizadam was looking around, trying to see who was around. He noticed he was a bit late and decided to hurry up and meet with their hosts.

Before speaking, Kara Rsizadam took a deep breath, hoping to not mess this diplomatic encounter up.
"Hello Mr. President, I'm Kara Rsizadam, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and these two are Heir-Preacher Brasicus III and Bergit II. From Our Great Leader and Preacher Brasicus II, a box containing the best of our fine culture, an emerald in shape of a cabbage, a model of the Great Capital Brassican church, and a little statuette of our great leader." Kara Rsizadam paused to take a breath, "We'd like the opportunity to enter into further discussion with you."
