This one is just a quick story I've made up early in the morning but I really want to write something that can properly explain the political crisis that were happening before the 14th General Election. If some of you guys realised some of the grammar mistake than I'm sorry because I'm kinda high at the time (I'm not doing something illegal btw). Sorry if this one is not as fancy as the other forum post, like a bunch of pictures, flag, map and all. This is just a quick one and I'm focusing on school stuff. Long Live Greiya!

Mitake Port Crisis

---

After the death of the seat owner, Jow Mei Lee from the Pan-Bukwas Party, the government decided to hold an election to find a replacement. After the people of Mitake Port cast their vote on August 5, 1419, for the first time in Greiya's history, the leading opposition party won the seat of the country's capital. Suresh Pravin from the National Democratic Organization won the seats by a landslide of 96%, defeating his opponent from the Pan-Bukwas Party, Ahmad Hafizi. At first, the government wasn't really minded by this, as they thought having one seat different would not harm their reputation. However, things started to change when Mitake Port was heavily developed, with many buildings rising and new policies being implemented by Suresh. Not only that, Mitake Port also came out on top of the list as the happiest city in Esferos. Even though this was a good thing for the country, many people thanked Suresh for his hard work in developing the cities. Suresh, who was born in Mitake Port, is hoping for the day he can see his beloved city recognized by people worldwide.

This, however, worries the government, as they have started to lose support from the people of Greiya. Many people thought that the opposition did a much better job than the government. This of course became a big topic when a foreign space agency took and released a satellite picture of the Mitake Port, and surely enough, it was brighter than the Kurani River, which was the biggest in population at the time. The government is being questioned by netizens online, and many news outlets have started shaming the politician regarding the situation. It will eventually reach its climax when, in the 1420 general election, the United Greiya Front, the new political party on the rise, and the National Democratic Organization almost hold a majority before being narrowly defeated by the Reiwa Nationalist Coalition, which is the ruling government at the time. Suresh Pravin once again won the Mitake Port and served the city for a few months until the government had enough.

On September 6, 1421, Suresh Pravin was arrested while walking his children back from school and was falsely accused of corruption and treason. And after 3 months of trial, they were later punished and jailed for 20 years. This news shocked the world, especially the people of Mitake Port, and three days later, the government announced that letting the opposition rule the capital was very dangerous for the country's democracy and political stability. Thus, the Mitake Port capital was granted special territory status, which means that the people can no longer vote to decide their own representatives in parliament. Many political experts announced it as a "move that will kill the government" as Mitake Port currently holds the most populated city in the country. On November 4, 1421, the citizens of Mitake Port came out and held a demonstration to oppose the government decision. It was the largest demonstration ever held in the country's history, with around 4,000 participants and many political figures like Abdul Razak, Sheldon Bruce, and Mitake Ran also joining in the rally.

Citizens of Mitake Port officially lose their right to vote as they were officially declared a special territory on November 11, 1421. The official ceremony was only attended by big corporate executives and government politicians after the queen, Queen Yukina, decided to join the people in boycotting the ceremony. This raised many questions among the Greiyans: Did the government's government not ask permission from the Queen regarding the matter? This issue further escalated when the Queen didn't want to officially open the second part of the 13th general election. Another rally gathered on February 2, 1421, but this time in front of Bara no Kyuden (the local name for the Palace of Rose), which has been the humble residence of the Minato family for generations. This time, however, is to demand that Queen Yukina take matters into her own hands.

On March 3, 1422, the Queen made a sudden announcement to everyone in the country. After her abdication in 1418, this is the first time she'll be talking to the citizens regarding the current national situation. This is very rarely done before, as everything is managed by the government, just like the "Constitutional Monarchy" system would've worked. The announcement is a sudden dissolution of the government, effective immediately. During the speech, Queen Yukina revealed everything, which included the higher-ups of the Reiwa Nationalist Coalition secretly planned on to fully abolish the power of the monarcy, money laundering, corruption, and so on, and her father is being forced by the military to just follow the flow in exchange for his family lives. After her father's death in 1418, she also had to follow all the orders given. The current crisis eventually became the last straw for the Queen to finally brave herself and reveal to the whole nation what actually happened behind the scenes. The next day, the villain who plotted the whole scheme was revealed. The whole board of the Greiya Action Party, the leading party of the government, and many higher-ups from the military were immediately arrested by the Royal Guards and were later put on trial for treason, corruption, and many others. The former prime minister, Geral Howard, immediately announced on the same day that the Pan-Bukwas Party would be leaving the coalition and that he'd be stepping down as president of that party. All of the key parties of the coalition also announced their departure until, on May 10, 1422, the Reiwa Nationalist Coalition was dissolved. It has been two months since the country didn't have a prime minister, and it was decided that Gerald Howard would be in charge until the next election.

Now that the government is gone, the whole country will be in the hands of the Queen for a few days, and one of the many rising issues she needs to take care of is the current status of Mitake Port. The people of the country capital once again came out of their houses in demand of not only their voting rights but also the release of Suresh Pravin. The queen was aware of this and decided to discuss this matter with the parliament. And just like she expected, it's useless. The opposition sides keep getting booed at, and the people from the government side were fighting among themselves because they're no longer on the same page. She instead decided to ask the opinion of her people directly, and she traveled around the country to ask for their views regarding the matter. After one month of planning, meetings, and negotiations, the Queen decided that the seats for Mitake Port, the main city, and the town around it would be divided into different seats. Mitake Port will now have 5 seats instead of 1, which includes the seats of Mitake Port, Kuala Kris, Seki Square, Nik Zaki Street, and Clay Temple Town. However, the imprisonment of Suresh Pravin will remain as the court is still investigating his cases.

However, now that the ruling coalition is gone, that means that the government is ruled by non-existent political parties, not to mention that the people on the government's side are fighting among themselves. After many negotiations with the Queen, meetings with the High Election Commission of Greiya, and a nationwide survey, it was decided that the next general election would be done earlier than usual, which is in 1423. Queen Yukina revealed the election date to the public, which is March 14, 1423, alongside many other important dates. This is so that all the important things can be done and will not interrupt the election flow when it's happened. The United Greiya Front decided to form a coalition alongside the National Democratic Organization and the Union Labour Party. The Pan-Bukwas Party also decided to form a coalition with the Conservative Greiya Party. And later on, in the early morning of March 15, 1423, the coalition led by the United Greiya Front shocked the world after they officially won the majority alongside other parties in the coalition. Abdul Razak, the president of the party, was named as the new Prime Minister. One week later, Suresh Pravin was granted full release by the court after they were determined that there wasn't enough evidence for further investigation, plus the Queen herself decided to grant the Royal Apology. His release was celebrated by the people of Greiya, with Mitake Ran, the MP of Mitake Port, and the people of Mitake Port waiting for his arrival at his house. He immediately hugged his daughter, whom he last saw during his arrest. Suresh decided to take a hiatus from the political arena so that he could focus his time on his family, and he believed that Mitake Ran could lead the city during the country's recovery time.
