			<description><![CDATA[Captain Richards was working late on paperwork, when the sound of cards slapping the table and loud cheers filled the barracks located north of the city of Emor. Only half a mile away from the barracks, or 4 from Emor, was Gonhog, and slightly to the northeast was an inlet shared by the two nations.  Divisions were being stationed as Gonhog had moved warships into the inlet.<br />
<br />
The room quieted again for a bit, before the it erupted again.  Captain Richards rolled his eyes as he got up and moved towards the room where his platoon slept.<br />
<br />
?Hey everyone! We got heavy drilling tomorrow, so get some slee-?<br />
<br />
BOOM.  BA-BOOM. BOOM.<br />
<br />
Shells rocked the barracks. The noise was instense, as men shouted and dove to cover while the rockets pounded nearby.  They left as sons as they came.  <br />
<br />
Richards looked up from under the bed he had token covered on, then spook to his communications officer. <br />
<br />
?Radio central command. Gonhog is at it again.?<br />
<br />
??????????????????????????????<br />
GONHOG<br />
<br />
<br />
?Glorius Leader, our missiles have struck the foolish Catholics!?<br />
<br />
The ?Glorius? Leader of Gonhog swiveled in his chair to face his advisor as he smirked.<br />
<br />
?Thank you, Han. Call in General Lee and Gray, would you??<br />
<br />
?Yes, Glorius Leader!?<br />
<br />
A few moments passed when two slightly older, balding gentlemen entered the room.<br />
<br />
?All hail Glorius Leader!? They shouted while saluting.  The leader motioned with his hand to rest at ease.  Then spoke:<br />
<br />
?Now, generals, the Catholics have been pushing into our maritime borders,? he said with a wink, and continued, ?and they have been threatening our sovereignty,? he winked again to the two, ?and we are just protecting ourselves. Clear??<br />
<br />
?Crystal,? the generals said in unison.?<br />
<br />
The Glorius Leader turned around again, ?Good. Get your troops ready on the border. The Catholics are suprisingly weak for a nation of their size.?<br />
<br />
?Yes, Leader.?]]></description>

Formerly a private members club housed in the old, and mostly abandoned, CIDUS building deep in the heart of Democracity the Lounge was somewhat of a hub once frequented regularly by different members of the CIDUS-delegations.<br />
<br />
Famous for its multiple entrances, wood panelled walls, book lined shelves, numerous rooms and alcoves, stained glass ceiling centre piece, massive elongated octagonal bar that has seen more than one drink spilled upon it as well as an eclectic menu of food and drink from across the IDU and beyond.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[It's election time in the Prosaic Union, and the nations of the IDU are invited to cast their votes. You're allowed to vote for two parties.<br />
<br />
The backdrop for the election is grounded in NS facts, but these are somewhat modified to create a more realistic and interesting situation, for example the economy here is not, like in NS, solely made up of Book Publishing. Because, you know, that's absurd. It's still very much in a shitty state though, that much hasn't changed. The outline here is that Gnejs has had a weak and inefficient economy for several years (think category: fair/reasonable), but are now in the midst of a major recession. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Context of the election:</span><br />
<br />
The Prosaic Union is a parliamentary democracy where the Prime Minister exercises the executive powers. Legislative power lies with both the government and the Parliament, but the latter is the supreme legislature. The parliament is called the Storting, and consists of one chamber. The Storting can pass a law by simple majority of the 169 representatives, elected based on proportional representation for four-year terms.<br />
<br />
Gnejs is a fairly average and left-centrist representative democracy, with a few quirks, pockets of radicalism and a big soft spot for its beautiful environment. Political freedoms are pretty standard, and civil rights are on the verge of abundant. But it's the economy everybody is talking about at the moment. The Gnejsian economy is sizeable, but terribly stagnant. 78.3 % of the economy is government activity and state-owned industry. Private industry accounts for 15.7 %, whereas black market activity is estimated to 6 % (probably too low an estimate). <br />
<br />
For the last decades, the economic situation has been vulnerable, but somewhat stable. The dominant publishing and printing industry employ a large number of citizens, and have in intervals achieved respectable export figures of both material and end products. The nation has a large but extremely inefficient agricultural sector, and a terribly outdated fishing industry. Both have been pillars of the Gnejsian economy for a long time, mainly due to their share size, but they have struggled for years. Publishing and printing have experienced a massive drop in revenue in the last decade as demands from foreign markets have plummeted, due to the "digital revolution". Few of the market actors have successfully managed the paradigm transition.<br />
<br />
The combined effects have thrown Gnejs into a deep recession ? with the smallest GDP per capita in the IDU, and an unemployment rate at 14.89 % - shaking the foundations of political life, as the dominant Unionist Party of Gnejs and their junior government party the Socialist Party of Gnejs struggle against a vocal opposition. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">The Election: your options:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Unionist Party of Gnejs (UPG)</span><br />
The grey eminence of Gnejsian political life, the UPG have been in power, with various coalition partners and on their own, since the early 60's. UPG advocates a strong welfare state, funded through taxes and duties, and profiles itself as a progressive party. They are essentially the architects of modern day Gnejs. Having been very popular with the electorate for years, the recent exposure of the nation's economic vulnerability have landed them in a difficult position. UPG additionally have a strong commitment to environmental issues, and this has often guided their policymaking. For example in their managing of agriculture and fisheries, their resistance to extensive tourism, and most radically the controversial decision of outlawing the use of cars outside of the public transportation system. The banning of cars was, however, a cause mainly driven by the Gnejs Green Party, a junior coalition partner of the UPG at the time. UPG have always had an ambivalent stance towards membership in the IDU and the WA. However, in later years they have consolidated their stance as cautious proponents of both.<br />
<br />
The current leader of the UPG is Cornelis Naess, who is also the Prime minister.<br />
<br />
UPG currently holds 69 of the 160 seats in the Storting.  <br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Socialist Party of Gnejs (SPG)</span><br />
?The reds? were founded after a split in the UPG in the mid-80's. They have jumped from being junior coalition partners to an extremely vocal opposition party and back again ever since. SPG have managed to attract a more or less steady 15-17 seat in the Storting for a long period of time. They claim to be advocates for the working class and society's unfortunate, although voices within the opposition maintain their claim that the party always have, and still only attract the lazy and ignorant. They are mainly concerned with maintaining government dominance in the business sector, providing a well-functioning welfare system and a top quality public school. Although on these issues, they are not far apart from the policies of the UPG. The division between the SPG and UPG is mainly connected to civil rights issues, multiculturalism and liberalizing refugee immigration policy. However, somewhat paradoxically, the SPG are fierce opponents of labor immigration, a trait they share with the UPG. The SPG have gone from being opposed to Gnejsian IDU-membership, to becoming great proponents. They remain opposed to Gnejsian WA-membership. The SPG are also in favor of re-allowing cars within Gnejs.     <br />
<br />
The party?s leader is Marfa Fredhell from the northern city of Finntorp on Ecpatia, who is also the Minister of Finance. She is 47 and has a PhD in economics from the University of Kejm in Port Kejm.<br />
<br />
SPG currently holds 17 of the 169 seats in the Storting.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">The Moderate Party (MP)</span><br />
The "Mod's" are the biggest opposition party. The party advocates economic liberalism, reduction of taxes, and individual rights, and defines itself as a centrist-liberal party. It has historically been - alongside The Progressive Alliance - the most outspokenly pro-IDU party in Gnejs, supporting membership during the 2005 referendum. They also support membership within the WA. The party generally supports privatization of certain government industry, semi-privatization through state-funded private services, cutting taxes and increased labor immigration. MP have supported many of the UPGs reforms in welfare and certain civil rights issues. One of their big proposals during the campaigning have been facilitating the establishing of a tourism industry, making use of the country's famous environment in the pressing economic times. MP are also in favor of re-allowing cars within Gnejs.<br />
<br />
The current leader of the "Mod's" is Arne Vreeswijk, a 36-year-old ex-civil servant from Esias in the southern parts of Gnejs.<br />
<br />
MP currently holds 33 of the 169 seats in the Storting.     <br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Gnejs Green Party (GGP)</span><br />
GGP are a fairly new edition the Gnejsian political scene. They entered the Storting in the mid-00's, and have been a junior coalition partner to the UPG for one full term. Because of the UPG's strong position on "green" issues, there has traditionally been little room for other green parties in Gnejs. However, GGP have taken a somewhat more radical stance in many environmental discussions, and coupled with growing dissatisfaction with UPG-dominance, they have been able to achieve a stable representation for consecutive terms. Environmental issues are, obviously, GGP's top priority and strict environmental regulations, such as a banning of cars outside the public transportation system is one of the most radical ideas the party has put in front of the Storting. Besides the environment, the party is concerned with social welfare, education, Gnejsian involvement in the IDU and the WA, feminism, a more decentralized government, direct democracy and gay rights. <br />
<br />
The party is led by a duo: Nicolas Winborg, a 25-year-old journalist from Port Kejm, and Ingra Karlberg, 47 years old from Finntorp on Ecpatia.<br />
<br />
GGP currently holds 8 of the 169 seats in the Storting.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Centre Party (CP)</span><br />
The Centrists are an agrarian interest party for the Gnejs farming population, although they have broadened their scope somewhat over the last decades. They sport fairly conservative views on social issues, whereas they generally support the statist approach to the economy. The great dividing line between the CP and the ruling coalition lies in government support to the agricultural sector and the trout fishing industry, which the CP believes to be grossly insufficient. The party is opposed to Gnejsian WA-membership, and remain somewhat skeptical about involvement in the IDU. <br />
<br />
The Centrists leader is Hanna De Laval, a 37-year-old farmer from western parts of Gnejs. <br />
<br />
CP currently holds 24 of the 169 seats in the Storting.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">The Progressive Alliance (TPA)</span><br />
Social-liberals. Advocates personal freedom under the pre-condition of an active state. Have traditionally supported many of the UPG-reforms in welfare and certain civil rights issues. The party is a strong supporter of multiculturalism and overall relaxed integration measures, a position they share with the GGP and portions of the SPG, and to a lesser extent the UPG. The dividing line between TPA and the parties traditionally considered 'Left-wing' lies in economic issues, where TPA advocates substantial privatizations of state-owned businesses, abolishing, among other things, wealth and inheritance taxes to stimulate private capital growth and investment. TPA are also strong advocates for increased labor immigration, an issue where they are very much at odds with the UPG and the SPG. Big supporters of the IDU, somewhat skeptical towards the WA. <br />
<br />
The current TPA leader is Trond Norrby, a 52-year-old lecturer from Port Kejm.<br />
<br />
TPA currently holds 14 of the 169 seats in the Storting.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">National Democrats (ND)</span><br />
The National Democrats is the newest party to gain seats in the Storting, having only received their four representatives' last election. They are very socially conservative, while moderate in economic terms. They are often disregarded as a "one-issue-party", the issue in question being immigration. They advocate a withdrawal from the WA, only partial contact with the IDU, a closing of borders and repatriation of non-citizens and citizens they refer to as "ethnically and culturally distinct" from the majority. None of the other parties wish to be associated with ND, something that several prominent politologists in Gnejs claim have increased their popular support, as some view them as unfairly treated by the established parties. <br />
<br />
Their current leader is Knut Atrix, a 68-year-old farmer from the south of Gnejs.<br />
<br />
ND currently holds 4 of the 169 seats in the Storting.]]></description>

Besides the environment, the party is concerned with social welfare, education, Gnejsian involvement in the IDU and the WA, feminism, a more decentralized government, direct democracy and gay rights. <br />
<br />
The party is led by a duo: Nicolas Winborg, a 25-year-old journalist from Port Kejm, and Ingra Karlberg, 47 years old from Finntorp on Ecpatia.<br />
<br />
GGP currently holds 8 of the 169 seats in the Storting.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Centre Party (CP)</span><br />
The Centrists are an agrarian interest party for the Gnejs farming population, although they have broadened their scope somewhat over the last decades. They sport fairly conservative views on social issues, whereas they generally support the statist approach to the economy. The great dividing line between the CP and the ruling coalition lies in government support to the agricultural sector and the trout fishing industry, which the CP believes to be grossly insufficient. The party is opposed to Gnejsian WA-membership, and remain somewhat skeptical about involvement in the IDU. <br />
<br />
The Centrists leader is Hanna De Laval, a 37-year-old farmer from western parts of Gnejs. <br />
<br />
CP currently holds 24 of the 169 seats in the Storting.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">The Progressive Alliance (TPA)</span><br />
Social-liberals. Advocates personal freedom under the pre-condition of an active state. Have traditionally supported many of the UPG-reforms in welfare and certain civil rights issues. The party is a strong supporter of multiculturalism and overall relaxed integration measures, a position they share with the GGP and portions of the SPG, and to a lesser extent the UPG. The dividing line between TPA and the parties traditionally considered 'Left-wing' lies in economic issues, where TPA advocates substantial privatizations of state-owned businesses, abolishing, among other things, wealth and inheritance taxes to stimulate private capital growth and investment. TPA are also strong advocates for increased labor immigration, an issue where they are very much at odds with the UPG and the SPG. Big supporters of the IDU, somewhat skeptical towards the WA. <br />
<br />
The current TPA leader is Trond Norrby, a 52-year-old lecturer from Port Kejm.<br />
<br />
TPA currently holds 14 of the 169 seats in the Storting.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">National Democrats (ND)</span><br />
The National Democrats is the newest party to gain seats in the Storting, having only received their four representatives' last election. They are very socially conservative, while moderate in economic terms. They are often disregarded as a "one-issue-party", the issue in question being immigration. They advocate a withdrawal from the WA, only partial contact with the IDU, a closing of borders and repatriation of non-citizens and citizens they refer to as "ethnically and culturally distinct" from the majority. None of the other parties wish to be associated with ND, something that several prominent politologists in Gnejs claim have increased their popular support, as some view them as unfairly treated by the established parties. <br />
<br />
Their current leader is Knut Atrix, a 68-year-old farmer from the south of Gnejs.<br />
<br />
ND currently holds 4 of the 169 seats in the Storting.]]></content:encoded>

Please note that only the poll votes will count but please feel free to explain your choice below. Polls will remain open for 1 week. In no particular order, the candidates are:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Mudal Kabinan</span><br />
A retired veteran from the town of Goma, Kabinan would likely have ended up living the rest of his life in obscurity and possibly in a prison cell, had it not been for the undead plague that swept the nation. When Z-day hit, he had settled into a life boasting, drinking, womanizing, drinking, fighting, and drinking some more. The disaster gave his life new purpose in fighting the undead and as his exploits became known, his fame only spread, and ultimately his name was put forward for election.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Political Priority:</span> Educating the populace in zombie destruction methods.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Economic Priority:</span> Funding for schools and libraries.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Abi Durubi</span><br />
An adventurer the town of Gisu,Durubi is most well known as a world explorer and contributer to the various museums of natural and anthropological history in Jade Tigers . She was little known outside of academic circles who considered her methods foolhardy and dangerous, but her hard won skills proved decisive in saving the remnants of her home town upon her return.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Political Priority:</span> Strengthening ties with the rest of the world.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Abakar Kadabu</span><br />
A General from the City of Kiumad-su , Kadabu is a strategist and tactician par excellence, having never been defeated, either in war games or in actual combat. He saw the devastation that spread across the nation by the undead scourge as an embarrassment and affront to Jade Tiger's martial traditions and took it upon himself to lead the way in fighting the zombie menace. Indeed, his forces have been among the most successful in prosecuting the destruction of the undead.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Political Priority:</span> Prosecuting the war against the zombie hordes.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Economic Priority:</span> Military funding.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Kudum Dara</span><br />
Hailing from the town of Godo, Dara has lived a full and interesting life to date. Joining the national military at a young age, he quickly advanced through the ranks until, at the urging of another officer, he killed his immediate superior. Despite doing what he had been led to believe was necessary by a superior officer, he was courtmarshalled and sentenced to a harsh prison sentence. After his eventual release, he bcame a wandering vagabond and worked in many difficult and dangerous positions. When Z-day occurred, he did not hesitate to join in the fight, and ultimately destroyed the zombified officer that had caused his downfall.<br />

A soldier from the City of Doshiran, Irakadu carries a heavy burden of guilt. Having spent the night prior to Z-day drinking and brawling with a longshoreman, he was unready to respond when the undead struck, resulting in the massacre of his unit. After his recovery, he flung himself into skirmish after skirmish, ignoring orders and the chain of command in order to fight alone, leaving a trail of broken corpses in his wake.

A Chemist from the town of Ga-sha, Niruva has always been fascinated by mysteries; she is said to be rather stubborn but perceptive and patient and is a notable pacifist.

<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Political Priority:</span> Promoting a cure for the zombie plague.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Padal Aciri</span><br />
A martial arts enthusiast from the town of Rumodo, Aciri took the first opportunity to join the national military and quickly climbed the ranks, garnering much acclaim as a skilled tactician. In the civilian world he is most famous for a public bout he fought with the famed martial artist Sadu Val, which he won; when interviewed after the match, Aciri stated that Sadu Val was the better martial artist and that he had only won because he had known that he would while his opponent had not.<br />

<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Irad-rama Paluan</span><br />
A monk from the town of Do-shi , Irad-rama Paluan is a detached and ascetic man who never wished to be famous or remembered. His life of quiet contemplation ended abruptly when he was attacked in his shrine by several undead monks. After destroying them, Paluan strode into the chaos that the town had become destroying the undead wherever he found them. The jubilant survivors subsequently put his name forward for election to the National Council.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Political Priority:</span> Eliminating the undead scourge.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Economic Priority:</span> Continued funding for cultural and spiritual projects.<br />

Hailing from the town of Giu-mori, Pengasa can trace her lineage back to ancient nobility, a fact that has been pressed on her by her wealthy father and which she has never been entirely comfortable with. When her father announced his retirement, Pengasa felt trapped as his named successor and heir. However, the undead plague brought new vitality to the young woman as she was forced to join in the defense of her family?s ancestral estate and slay her own zombified father.<br />

A monk from the town of Do-shi , Irad-rama Paluan is a detached and ascetic man who never wished to be famous or remembered. His life of quiet contemplation ended abruptly when he was attacked in his shrine by several undead monks. After destroying them, Paluan strode into the chaos that the town had become destroying the undead wherever he found them. The jubilant survivors subsequently put his name forward for election to the National Council.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Political Priority:</span> Eliminating the undead scourge.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Economic Priority:</span> Continued funding for cultural and spiritual projects.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Malai Pengasa</span><br />
Hailing from the town of Giu-mori, Pengasa can trace her lineage back to ancient nobility, a fact that has been pressed on her by her wealthy father and which she has never been entirely comfortable with. When her father announced his retirement, Pengasa felt trapped as his named successor and heir. However, the undead plague brought new vitality to the young woman as she was forced to join in the defense of her family?s ancestral estate and slay her own zombified father.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Political Priority:</span> Expansion of the nation?s social and political freedoms.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Economic Priority:</span> Funding for National Infrastructure.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Juara Spiredar</span><br />
A Councilman from the city of Ro-ji, Juara Spiredar has proven himself to be a potent and subtle politician. By all accounts, he is a cold man who rarely smiles and almost never laughs but is always polite, even to his oppents whom he often receives cordially at city functions. Spiredar was among the loudest voices calling for the recall of the previous council, whom he saw as dangerously ineffective given the current troubles.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Political Priority:</span> Internal Reforms of the National Government to make it more responsive.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Economic Priority:</span> Internal Security<br />

<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Wira Viradi</span><br />
A brilliant painter from the town of Yu-ghida, Wira Viradi is the first woman to serve as the head of the famed Yu-ghida Academy of the Arts. As head of the academy, she took it upon herself to learn all the artforms taught in their curriculum and quickly earned the respect of the faculty and students alike. When the zombie plague erupted, she refused to allow the academy to fall into ruin and organized a brilliant defense, saving the academy and al the precious art therin, an act which has not only put her in the national political spotlight, but which is being novelized by one of her peers as well.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Political Priority:</span> Support for cultural initiatives.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Economic Priority:</span> Funding for the arts.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Nilajam Hiro</span><br />
A young officer from the town of Rodai , Nilajam Hiro is a handsome man with a calm temperament but whom some view as over talkative. He is also known for taking his tme in considering any decisions before making them, a trait which makes him an odd candidate given the reasons for the recall of the previous National Council. However, when the plague of undead erupted and Ro-ji was struck far worse than Rodai, Hiro led Rodai?s forces to Ro-ji?s defense without hesitation. He was badly wounded but Ro-ji was saved, making him a hero of two localities.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Political Priority:</span> Improved border security.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Economic Priority:</span> Military spending.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Kebera Maraldu</span><br />
Hailing from the town of Daisugi, Kebera Maraldu is the local Chief of Police. He is known as a cheerful person who always manages to find beauty in life, often, perhaps unfortunately, in the form of a pretty woman. He is most famous for having uncovered a corrupt Town Concilman and leading the defense of that same town council during the recent zombie outbreak.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Political Priority:</span> Elimination of corruption on the national level.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Economic Priority:</span> Funding of Law Enforcement.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Aindu Unsur</span><br />
Raised in a local temple in the town of Ashina, Aindu Unsur is a monk who has found himself thrown onto the national stage by circumstance. When the zombie plague struck, the town was quickly overrun, with the panicked survivors taking shelter in the temple. Unsur took control, calming the people and guiding them in the temple?s defence until outside help could arrive. The survivors backed him for election, and though Unsur would rather remain with his beloved temple, he has taken up the study of politics and economics just in case he wins.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Political Priority:</span> Aid for those displaced by recent events.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Economic Priority:</span> Funding for schools and hospitals.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[The first National Council seat will be decided in the Province of Besar-nantu. A similar poll will be posted on the NS Forums, however the results of this poll will count for twice the margin of the NS Forum poll. Please note that only the poll votes will count but please feel free to explain your choice below. Polls will remain open for 1 week. In no particular order, the candidates are:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Nasib Tiguru</span><br />
A high ranking soldier from the city of Ghui-de, Tiguru has recently made a name for himself with his zealous prosecution and eradication of the zombie hordes from the outlying towns. Considered by many to be both a fearless warrior and a brilliant strategist, he nonetheless has limited political experience and was in fact shocked that his name had been put up for election.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://l.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/xq0_c5GrLGM8NTVxy08tKw--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7cT04NQ--/http://media.zenfs.com/en-SG/blogs/singaporeshowbiz/Hentak-Kaki.jpg" loading="lazy"  alt="[Image: Hentak-Kaki.jpg]" class="mycode_img img-responsive" /><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Irumpu Canicci</span><br />
A hard and demanding woman the town of Shiru, Canicci is a ranking member of the Jade Tigers Intelligence Services, among which she is widely respected for her daring and willingness to take on any challenge. She does, however, have a taste for gambling and there are rumors that she only sought election as the stakes in a bet that she lost or that her election to National Concilwoman is itself the wager.<br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Kallarai Membina</span><br />
A famed architect and structural engineer from the city of Ghuden-gai , Membina is something of a prodigy whose work can be seen all over Jade Tigers despite being relatively young, having just celebrated his twenty ninth birthday when the zombie plague erupted. In the wake of the plague, he has become obsessed with the destruction of the undead and, once the city had been cleared, was instrumental in the design and construction of Ghuden-gai?s defenses which are considered to be the most lethal in Jade Tigers and which he vows to replicate along the nation?s borders if elected.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Kalperra Lanun</span><br />
Hailing from the town of Shi-yashu, Lanun is a romantic action film star and possibly the most famous celebrity in Jade Tigers due to his outrageous and public exploits, both in avoiding his extranged wife and in his brushes with the wrong side of the law. Most famously, he is said to have once had his sail boat wrecked in a freak storm only to have safely returned after pulling together a raft from the debree and lashing it to a passing shark and then forcing the creature to pull him to shore. Regardless of the relative truth of such tabloid fare, there is no doubting his incredible good looks, style, or panache and his standing in the polls since throwing his hat into the elections continues to grow.<br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Ketam Rupava</span><br />
Raised in the electorate by the voters of Yudeghun, Rupava was, until recent events, a perfectly average citizen of Jade Tigers with no particular political aspirations. However, when the zombie plague broke out, she was instrumental in saving her neighborhood and then leading the push to clear the rest of the city. Some have claimed that it was her former husband?s infection that drives her, while her new political enemies rumor that she may have been initially responsible for allowing one of the infected into her neighborhood in the first place and now seeks redemption. Regardless of the truth, her unsought polularity and leadership in Yudeghun is uncontested.<br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Katanta Talai</span><br />
A respected Councilmember of Dhanidogha, Talai was away from the town visiting a family friend when the zombie outbreak occurred. As the plague became horrifically apparent, he rushed home as quickly as possible only to find the town almost completely overrun. Gathering what survivors he could, Talai led them into the far more defensible hills and forests nearby and soon began gathering other regugees from surrounding areas. When the national military finally intervened this ragtag group of survivors were able to retake Dhanidogha and they have now brought Talai forward into the national elections.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Finally! The first in what I hope will be a long line of IDU Olympic Games.<br />
<br />
We will need at least 4 (hopefully many more!) participating nations. Each nation will be required to submit a single 15 person team roster along with its specialties and abilities (the more detailed the better) and a single sport from their nation (including the rules if there is no earth equivalent.) Every team will then participate in each game in turn (though the same team members need not participate in all events such as one event requiring 12 players and another requiring only 3) with scores based on my own computational method adjusted for quality of RP, familiarity of the team with the game, and team abilities as described. The total scores will be used to determine event ranking, with an average of all scores determining final Olympic Rankings. Think of it as a triathalon form of Olympics.]]></description>
