Elections: 2019
Force has had two Elections one emergency Prime Minister and Judge election and the standard house election. So let's begin with the emergency Election.
The emergency Elections came about after the resignation of Sir Libertatis Regalis and his short departure. Moments after major government officials held an emergency meeting on what to do next. decided to hold an Election to decide a new Prime Minister while Vamperial would act as interim Prime Minister until the Election is over. The two main candidates were New Legland and Lashnakia. The debate was fierce but in the end, Lashnakia ended up winning even though there was major opposition from other Parties and Independents as he was the National Party candidate.
As for the emergency Judge after Sir Libertatis Regalis departure Western Chosetus promptly left with Sir Libertatis Regalis. The main candidates of the election were The Chariot, Harkhirchluvo and Seoul-Pyongyang. The debate contained a controversial question that was difficult for candidates to answer and proved a challenge to even the most experienced candidates. In the end, The Chariot came out victorious but many wonder what is next for the Force legal system.
Now finally the House Election which is a major historical Election. This Election saw many new faces bidding for a seat such as Corestical and Spoonifo. The election debate contained major policy ideas from Sir Libertatis Regalis with his so-called "Transparency Act" and "Anti-Slander Bill" which is seen controversial. Spoonifo also stated he would like to pass a "Freedom of Information Act", which would mean some cabinet information would become public. Also in the election, we saw some old faces such as Seoul-Pyongyang who proposed a Prime Ministers questions and Carropia who said he would pass bills to encourage people to join the Force civil service. All in all an interesting debate.

Ten Thousand Problems
Around October 13 of 2018, The embassies between Force and the region 10,000 Islands, also known as XKI, were closed suddenly and abruptly. This was later confirmed to be a misinterpretation of Force's refounding of its ally, Marist Federated States, and an unauthorized raid by one of Force's members, which led to XKI acting upon it immediately, as it violates one of the region's policies against raiding due to it leading a defending-aligned military. Later, XKI's Delegate, Kuriko, offered to reengage diplomatic relations, which Libertatis Regalis refused. After five months of stagnancy on the matter, around the 21st of March, several citizens of Force were banned from XKI's Discord channel, once again, without public discussion (though it was later revealed that private discussions did occur). Embassies with Heart, one of Force's territories, were also closed. A few raiding runs performed around February were confirmed to have caused this. Renegalle, after discussions in Force, decided to take action. Using the nation ABC, a citizen of The North Pacific and a former diplomat of The North Pacific to XKI, Renegalle lodged a message on the XKI message board from The North Pacific through the embassies between both regions. The message contained the following message:
"Dear Kuriko,
I rarely comment on other region's RMBs, but when I do, it's for a reason. I have received word from my friends in Force that you are arbitrarily banning their members from your Discord Server. They are being banned without having violated any rules, without receiving notice of being banned, and it appears, solely because they are members of a specific region. As the former TNP Ambassador to 10000 Islands, I was surprised to find this out. You had always been very welcoming to me and others when I was in your region. I do hope this is some sort of misunderstanding, for it is not something I would expect a region with a reputation like yours to do. Please address these concerns.
Thank you,
ABC"
This, however, caused outrage among the North Pacific officers. Pallaith, TNP's Delegate, made a statement on the situation, which condemned both Renegalle and Force for "using embassy posting to pursue Force's diplomatic agenda" and "unprofessional and adversarial foreign policy", respectively. Pallaith's main grounds for condemnation is that "TNP's diplomatic relations are not for other regions to use as tools for their own purposes."
Renegalle was later dismissed as a Gameside Advocate by Pallaith, which he replied to by claiming TNP as a "government that considers its allies more important than its citizens". Further discussions were done on the matter, all of which support the decision. Embassies with Force and Heart were also closed during this time. Renegalle decided to handle the situation by taking the situation to TNP's Court, officially filing a request for the infringement of his free speech. While the court handled the request, Renegalle had released his private conversations with the Delegate of XKI, in which Renegalle demanded the unbanning of the several citizens of Force in their Discord server. XKI's Delegate, Kuriko, stated that "10,000 Islands does not bow down to anyone's demands for any reason", and confirms that the reason was indeed Force's activity in raiding and it violating XKI's policy, which Renegalle claims is "unfair, unwarranted, and destructive". These conversations end with Renegalle's demands ultimately denied, causing him to further pursue the court case. This case, until now, still lacks the Court's final ruling.
