Fornoire- After a legislative election for the country's parliament, for the first time in history, a non-noble will rule the country.

Venuse Petage, a Social Democrat, has been elected by the country's parliament as Fornoire's Prime Minister.

His election was a result of complex talks between many parties, which resulted in the Centrist-Leftist Coalition, a complicated and delicate alliance of centrist, centre-left, leftist, and even far-left parties, liderated by the Social Democrats.

There was controversy over his choosing, however. The New Social Democrats, who split from the Social Democrats over leadership and ideology, criticized the choosing at first, as Venuse Petage, a top Social Democrat, is one of the most anti-NSD members of his party, even calling the NSD "a bunch of selfish fools who don't know what they're doing", over the splitting of the party. Yet, to prevent any stalling, the NSD eventually supported his candidacy.

Meanwhile, the Sorists, the youngest party in the race, got 4 seats in Parliament, with 0.1% of the vote. Analysts were shocked at their gains, as no one had considered the Sorists winning any seats.
