In a Shocking Turn of Events, Grand Imperator Christopher Stachowiak has Died of a Heart Attack!
This morning, the Grand Imperator of the Drewish Empire died of a heart attack. After ruling the Empire for more than 40 years, many now wonder who will lead the Drewish people. Three potential candidates have risen from the Empire's most powerful Houses. Depending on which candidate is chosen, major policy shifts in the nation may occur. In several days, the Council of Lords will convene to elect the newest Imperator. Below, the candidates have been listed.
Sir Arthur Wellman (of the House of Wellman)
Sir Wellman is 49 years old and was born in Kingsport. He is widely considered to be the favorite to rule the Empire. He has served in the Drewish Navy since he was 16 years old, and has become distinguished due to his military expertise. His policies are very similar to that of the previous Imperator. Wellman stresses the importance of the NA, and favors allocating slightly less money towards the military, and instead focusing on bolstering infrastructure. He also believes that the Empire should maintain peaceful relations with the democracies of the world.
Sir Genelius Usla (of the House of Uslariskov)
Sir Genelius Usla is 38 years old and was born in the city of Watchtower. Usla is considered a revolutionary mind in his time. While Usla is a highly successful buisiness man, he has never served in political or military office. Usla's stance on many issues are rather unusual. He favors increased freedoms throughout the Empire, and campaigns to increase free speech. Usla also believes in establishing a lasting peace with both communist and democratic nations throughout the world. Finally, he is perhaps most known for his efforts to grant freedom to the Empire's only colony, the Coastland Territory. This colony has recently undergone much turmoil as its residents campaign to be released from the military occupation it is currently ruled by, sometimes resorting to acts of domestic terrorism to do so.
Sir Anton Burish (of the House of Burish)
Sir Anton Burish is 45 years old, and was born in Bastiona. His views are highly nationalistic, and border on fascism. Burish has served as the Minister of Intelligence for the last 15 years, helping to execute many of the Empire's covert activities. This candidate favors increased cooperation with other members of the Nationalist Alliance against both democratic and communist nations, who he has describes as "the imperialist vermin of the world, intent only upon preventing the Empire's quest for glory." Burish favors a crackdown on rebels in the Coastland Province, and supports a large increase in military spending and recruitment. His fiery speeches have gathered much support from hardliners throughout the nation.
