Two friends were eating dumplings at the local restaurant in Callens. This place had been popularised by Ex-Vice President Doggi and current President Stella. All the federal workers had been taken there one by one by Stella or Doggi. Many a meetings of TCP had taken place in this restaurant. Stella and Slavic discussed NEP, Union and Restaurant discussed Tutum and Viktor gave his sly ideas for the communist revolution.

The two friends were enjoying their dumpling soup as the one with short, fluffy brown hair pointed towards a chair that had been walled off by red ribbons with his chopsticks.

"What's that chair?" he asked, waving his chopsticks towards the chair.

"That chair is reserved for Comrade Chernov, it's where he signed his last opinion.. before he.. you know?" the blonde girl in warm clothes answered.

"He what?" the boy tilted his head, confused.

"Before he got shot delivering the news to President Stella" the girl replied, tilting her head forward to take a dumpling in her mouth.

"How did it happen?" he asked.

Still chewing her food she replied "well..."

During a cold January day, Viktor Chernov and Stella Woolf were sitting in a park that had been built by Comrade Fruit with his lawncare initiatives. Viktor Chernov had a full stack of papers in-between him and Stella. There were no HARPIES agents around, it was just the two of them at sunrise in a random park in Callens. Stella was taking small sips of her green tea while listening to Viktor Chernov explain his plans;

"You see, I actually have sole power for appeals. We can use this to keep NEP alive!"

"Mhm?"

"While I agree that maybe some parts of NEP fit better to be a Executive Order.."

He continued,

"I just want to keep NEP going. Me and Comrade Slavic worked really hard to reach here. I don't particularly want to leave this on the table. I wrote a opinion about the NEP lawsuit last night, I had to pour over a lot of material at 4am you know?"

"I know how hard you work, dearest Viktor.." Stella replied to him, taking another sip of her tea.

She continued,

"I'm just not sure how it'll be perceived by the populace. This is pretty.. well roundabout."

"Stella, what can I do about that?"

"I suppose.. nothing"

"I'll publish it tonight, let the Sovnarkom voice their opinions."

"Alright, I suppose.. You have my backing-"

As Stella spoke to Viktor, a gunshot rang through the park. Stella jumped up, as the bullet hit Viktor in the chest. It wasn't the glorious death any comrade imagined, but it's the death most of them eventually got. Viktor heard Stella screaming for agents and trying to stop his bleeding. Alas, she isn't a medic and Viktor fades into the night.

Hey everyone! Took a little break. How has everyone been since I've been gone? I'm sure the RGA has won a supermajority in parliament by now yea? I look forward to rejoining the Red Grits Alliance and maybe run for its co-chair? We'll see what the future holds!.

Long live the RGA! Long live the revolution!

Basically, if you'd be interested in such a party forming or in joining it, say it on this post.

Even if there is interest it might not be made lol, I'm not that good at party politics.

The hot scorching sun beat down on the freshly trimmed wool of the sheep. They had to stay perfectly still, perfectly silent. Watching the ape make his rounds around the farm, they bode their time, waiting.

"Blahdamn, it's so blahhhhhhhhh in here"

"Blaaamaaa shut the blaaaaahhh up"

"Both of you, blsshshhhhh!"

Blehhh had to admit, Blaaamaaa was right. It was around 110 degrees blahrenheit and 43 degrees cumulus, easily the hottest day of blahmer.

"Oh, bloook! The ape is mooooooving!"

"Blaaamaaa why are you bleating like a blahhhhcking cow."

"Sorry."

The ape got onto his tall brown sheep and rode off towards the city.

"Now's our chance! Blah blah blah!"

Blahgus the Blahless charged the thin wooden fence at full speed.

CRASH!

The fence easily broke under the might of the blahless Blahgus.

"Let's blah!"

Despite the heat, they ran at full speed, past the horses, cows, chickens, and even the rabbits. Their goal? The luscious depths of the forest, where the trees provided the perfect cover to fully escape.

They hopped over one last fence, barreling towards the forest at full speed. Freedom. Liberty. Equality.

The era of the sheep had begun.

ADDENDUM 1: Changed rule to be "must be literate"

HELD:

The following sections of the New Economic Plan are constitutional. Mechanisms of the Politburo, Foreign Exchange, Clause 4, Structure of the People's Army, and Legal Notes and Subsystems, Clause 4.

Explanation for the Constitutionality of Foreign Exchange

According to Article II, Section III of the constitution of the Democracy of Reddit, "3. Parliament shall legislate national matters limited to: 1. Regulation of trade, commerce, monetary policy, and fiscal policy, including taxation[...]"

The constitution also states in Article VII "7. Provinces may not have their own foreign policy, excluding trade deals and any special cases approved by the president and legislature."

However, a clear solution is given earlier on, in Article VII, which establishes the supremacy of Federal law. " 3. Provinces must follow the laws of the country, though they may write their own laws as well.".

As the power of the Politburo is derived from Parliament, it may exercise powers that belong to Parliament, which in this case, would refer to trade policy. Therefore, the power of the Politburo in relation to foreign exchange is legal.

Explanation for the Constitutionality of the Structure of the People's Army

The New Economic Policy states, "The replacement of the Grand Marshall shall be performed only by the Politburo[...]".

The constitution states in Article III, "2. The president shall lead the armed forces in times of war or emergency". The constitution also states in Article III, Section III, Clause III, that Parliament is in charge of "2. Foreign policy, including control of military and space affairs[...]".

As the powers of the Politburo are derived from Parliament, this is constitutional.

Explanation for the Constitutionality of Legal Notes and Subsystems, Clause 4

Following the precedent of Parliament, repeals of acts are treated as motions and not bills.

The constitution states in Article II, Section III, "1. Parliament may pass laws via a simple majority of those who have voted within a 48 hour period of the presentation of any list of bills.". As motions are not regulated by the constitution, they may have different requirements for removal. Therefore, Legal Notes and Subsystems, Clause 4 is constitutional.

PAY YOUR TAXES!!! FINES WILL BE APPLIED IF TAXES AREN'T PAID WITHIN 48 HOURS. 320.53 cR is the daily interest.

Title

**Hear me out. Instead of these long, boring speeches about policy, why don't we just have the candidates play the latest city-building game for 48 hours? The one with the highest population and best happiness rating gets the office for four years. It would actually show who can manage a budget and keep people happy. It feels like a much more fair and "darkly" logical way to do things than what we have now.**
