President Im's reaction to resignation of PM Lin.

President Im has given a short statement regarding the resignation of Prime Minster Lin in order to focus on his presidential efforts.

Quote:
 
Prime Minister Lin's resignation is another example of the untenable position that he has placed himself into. He has chosen to refuse to work with me and instead embarked on a highly partisan agenda which only benefit the richest earners at the expense of the Bai Lungese middle class.

Prime Minster Lin has refused to work with me in passing a number of cornerstone legislations such as the Deficit Reduction Emergency Plan Act which would eliminate the budget deficit with 4 years. He has instead taken the path of his predecessor which is to cut taxes for the richest, to raise taxes for everybody; and to offset his massive tax cut plan by slashing all government programs that aid the needy.

I do however, wish him the best in his future career and I do hope that his sucessor will cooperate with me as the nation faces difficult times.

Special election for South Bai Lung MLA and Senators due to be held 15th February.

A special election to elect South Bai Lung Assembly Members will be held on the 15th February for the first time since re-unification of the country.

The Electoral Commission of Bai Lung (ECBL) has confirmed that 65 Lower House seats will be up for grabs, as well as 12 additional Upper Senate seats. Most major pollsters rate 75% of the newly created seats as SAFE LABOUR. The Conservative Party, led by Prime Minister Lin, controls the lower house with a majority of 15.

President Im's Labour Party requires 16 or more seats in order to take back the house. If this does happen, then it would mark the first time in which the
Labour Party has taken both chambers of the assembly for the first time in Bai Lung's poltical history. However, this feat would be scuppered if the Conservatives capture all of the Senate seats.

President Im and mayor of Cheng Lung agree to impose curfew on home of Wuji drink.

President Im and Cheng Da-Ryung, the mayor of Cheng Lung, have agreed to impose a 1 day curfew on the village in anticipation of a deadly annual drinking event which has resulted in the deaths of several people. It would effectively ban the event during the 24 hours.

Held every Bai Lungese New Year, the drinking event takes place at the King Woo Public House where participants must consume 3 bottles of Wújí (无极) or Limitless in the fastest time possible. Due to the smokey, pungent taste and the intense, prolonged burning aftertaste it gives, the drink is particularly difficult to consume after 1 shot glass. The first to completely finish 3 bottles without vomiting wins $10,000.

A bottle of Wújí (无极) typically contains 65% of alcohol by volume but cheaper imitation brands contain up to 95% ABV.

The drink, however, is extremely toxic when drunk in large amounts and the annual contests has resulted in a handful of deaths, with 105 people killed in the 2011 event.

After the 2010 coup by the High Court Justices at the time, President Im and Prime Minister attempted to pass legislation banning the drink and the event associated with the event. In July 2011, they passed the Alcohol Personal Misuse Act 2011 but two weeks later, the high court justices struck down the law as unconstitutional by a 5-4 decision.

The President and the Assembly attempted to post a watered down version of the act which requires all drinks to lower their ABV content to a maximum of 50%, as well as imposes a 10 cent duty on all spirits. The Act, Alcohol Personal Responsibility Act 2011 passed on November 2011 (shortly after the 1 month junta takeover of the country), was also struck down by the High Court Justices by an identical 5-4 decision.

The curfew will last from 23rd January to 24th January with virtually all citizens banned from outdoor activities. 20,000 military personel will be sent to the village during that period.

265 people die in annual spirit drinking contest.

265 people have died of alcohol poisoning after taking part in an annual drinking contests at the King Woo Public House, Cheng Lung which coincides with the Bai Lungese New Year.

The Im administration and the Mayor of Cheng Lung, Cheng Da-Ryung, have attempted to place a curfew in the village in order to curb participation of the event but the Executive Order was struck down by the High Court Judges as being 'unconstitutional'.

An estimated 40,000 people took part in the event, double the amount of last years event. The high level of participants meant the organisers had to hold the drinking game outside for the first since its inception.

The spirit which was used in the contest were green bottles of Wújí (无极) or Limitless with a high alcohol by volume of 65%, although cheaper brands go up to 95% ABV.

Contestants are expected to finish 3 bottles of the spirits in the fastest possible time without vomiting or spill any of the drink's pungent contents. The winner gets $10,000 for his/hers successful attempts.

The 265 lives lost as a result of alcohol poisoning in this years event exceeds that of last years event in which 105 people died from drinking the spirit. Like with all previous events, the winner died at the scene.

Several attempts made by the Im administration to control the circulation of the alcohol were all struck down by the High Court. President Im has also attempted to raise the consumption tax on alcohol by BL$1. It too was struck down by High Court. They contended that any tax hikes on alcoholic beverages must apply evenly and not to one specific drink i.e BL$1 tax increases on all alcoholic drinks.

President Im delivers 3rd and final State of the Union Address: Lambasts deadlock in Lower House.

President Im delivers his third and final State of the Union Address before 698 members of the Bai Lung Assembly before he retires from front-line politics indefinitely.

President Im has used his final Address to lambast Prime Minster Lin's 'obstructionist' tactics by blocking major pieces of legislation. He has vowed to directly intervene if the deadlock between the Upper Senate and the Lower House continues throughout 2012. He has praised the Labour Senators for their role in passing his austerity measures which would eliminate all of the budget deficit within 4 years.

The speech made by President Im was met with a mixed reception. Most Labour Assembly Members applauded his speech while most Conservative members gave cries of catcalls.

Here are some of the key proposals suggest by President Im:

-Merging the Customs Services and the Inland Revenue Service
-Abolishing the Assembly Act which would allow the lower house to override all actions made by the upper senate.
-Establish BLDFTA or Bai Lung-Dovakhan Free Trade Agreement
-Tighten Executive bonus pay
-Tighten the banking sector through regulation.
-Create 2 million green jobs throughout 2012.

As with the previous 2 reponses to the State of the Union address, Prime Minister Lin gave his official response to the address by labelling President Im's policies' as being extremist. In particular, Prime Minister Lin has blasted Im's plans to curb CEO bonus pay.

Quote:
 
'These extremist policies concocted by our President does nothing to bring economic growth and jobs to our great nation. President has decided to mount an assault on the job creators by linking their salaries to that of the stagnanting economy. Perhaps President Im should get off the backs of the business and allow them to generate their wealth without any government interference.'


Former Conservative leader Stephen T. Ding went further by calling Im's policies 'Full-blown communism' and has called for the impeachment of Im.

Marxist Party members charged with flouting New-Years Day curfews.

All 45 Marxist lawmakers, including its leader Sun Ju-Bai, of the Bai Lungese Assembly have formally been charged with breaching the New-Years Day curfew.

They are also facing charges of glorifying former Stalinist dictator Chen Jong Sun under the Anti-Dictator Act 2011. During the New-Years Day ban, 45 lawmakers from the staunchly left-wing party marched alongside thousands of their followers in the streets of Pyongjing to celebrate the 93rd birthday of the former dictator who ruled from 1962-2006.

Originally charged on the same day, the entire Marxist lawmakers were released on the 3rd of January without any charge. However, it was discovered that Chief Constable Wong Dan Dan was a member of the Marxist party after video footage shows him attending a Marxist rally. Chief Constable Wong was suspended and replaced by Depute Chief Constable Li Yimeng.

As all 45 Marxist lawmakers are now considered suspects, they have immediately lost their seats in accordance to Section 2, Clause 2 of the Bai Lungese Constitution which bars anyone who's a criminal or a suspect from holding office.

President Im has appointed 11 Labour Senators to replace the vacant seats. This now gives the Labour party a 12 seat lead over the Conservative Party. However, this newly created majority will only last until 15th February, the day of the special election for the vacant seats in both chambers.

Excerpt from Opinion Programme Across the Aisle

Marcel Chen, Film Director and LGBT rights activist (On LGBT rights in Bai Lung): 'It is fundemental that any civilised society must recognise the concept of LGBT rights and gay marriage. LGBT rights should be treated as the same as non-LGBT rights or plainly, human rights. I don't understand why there are people in this planet say that they are for human rights but are ardent critics of gay marriage or unions. You can't have it both ways! You support no human rights or you support human rights for everybody and that includes gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender people. You pick one or the other, you simply cannot pick a half-way house on this issue. There was the time President Im was acting in a condescending manner by meeting with gay activists yet he won't enact gay marriage. I am bleeding in a tank where the sharks are bipartisan. No major party has plans to provide LGBT rights for everybody, including a gay man like me.'

Marxist councillor arrested after throwing bittermelons at President Im.

A radical Marxist councillor has been detained by police after he was seen throwing bittermelons at President Im over his role in ordering the re-arrests of 45 Marxist lawmakers in the Bai Lungese Assembly.

The councillor identified as Huang Cai-Shek 55, was protesting outside the Presidential Office building since 26th January when he fellow Marxist colleagues were arrested for breaching a New-Years Day curfew by holding a New-Years Day parade celebrating the late former Stalinist dictator Chen Jong Sun's 93rd birthday.

Mr Huang brought bittermelon to his protest and used them to throw at President Im in protest of his 'oppressive policies'. President Im was hit in the head from one of the bittermelons but did not suffer from any bruisings. Mr Huang was immediately arrested at the scene and will likely be charged under the crimes of Attempted Assassination on a Head of State.

Film director Marcel Chen arrested in Bai Lung after carrying a poster of Chen Jong Sun.

The openly gay Dannistrian born Bai Lungese film director Marcel Chen has been arrested by police under the anti-dictatorship laws.

Mr Chen, 49, was seen marching alongside his entourage in central Pyongjing when a police officer approached him and asked Mr Chen what he is carrying. When Mr Chen complied with the officer's orders, he unrolled an A3 sized poster of the former Stalinist dictator Chen Jong Sun. Under the Anti-Dictator Act 2011, it is currently illegal to own images of Chen that is larger than an A4 sized print but perfectly legal if small than A4 under exceptional circumstances.

Mr Chen has vehmently denied that he was glorifying the former leader, but was carrying the poster to the film set of his new satirical film about a group of young college students attempting to overthrow the fictional government.

Film director Marcel Chen released on bail after carrying poster of Chen Jong Sun.

The controversial openly gay Dannistrian born Bai Lungese film director Marcel Chen has been released on bail after he was arrested for carrying an A3 sized poster of the former Stalinist dictator Chen Jong Sun.

Mr Chen, 49, was heading to the film set of his latest project, Revolt! Revolving! Revolting!, a satirical film about a trio of college students attempting to overthrow the current democratically elected government. Mr Chen was then stopped by a policeman and asked him what is inside the poster. Mr Chen was then arrested and charged for glorifying the former Stalinist leader.

If the Court of Appeal finds him guilty under the Anti-Dictator Act 2011, then he could face up to 10 years in prison.

The spokesperson for President Im has released a statement strongly defending the law and that there should be no exceptions for anyone who owns large reproduction photos of Chen, even for film use.

'Draft Im' Petition reaches half a million signatures.

A movement with a serious following in which their purpose is to convince President Im to reconsider his decision not to run for re-election, has culminated in a popular 'Draft Im' Petition with half a million different names calling for President Im to make a u-turn on his decision.

Shortly after the mid-term elections in 2010, President Im has announced that he would not stand for re-election and would leave Bai Lung with his wife and children. The President has repeatedly stated in interviews that he does not consider himself to be the first President of Bai Lung but merely as a caretaker of the nascent post-Chenite state.

Since the petition began on the 1st of February, the people behind the movement are hoping to obtain 2 million signatures by next week.

Excerpt from Opinion Programme Across the Aisle

Marsha Djou, Spokeswoman for 'Draft Im' movement: (On why President Im should run for a second term) 'President Im is actually doing a good job right, despite the recent turmoil in the country such as the high budget deficit caused by the military junta's spend, spend, spend policies. The Budget Office of Bai Lung is projecting the deficit to be 25% smaller this year in comparison to last year, so the country is going in the right direction. We can't allow the President to just leave half-way through the austerity measures, that is lack of leadership. He is only inviting a Conservative victory if he allows his position to be an open seat. The Conservatives will use their ideological playbook to blow a massive hole in the state's budget in order to justify their tax cuts for the very wealthiest while the burden is shifted to the least well off. Do you want the out going PM to make policies worse than the junta?'

5 things we didn't know this week.

1. The Oldboys hockey team lives up to its name. The average of the players is around 35 in comparison to 30 with the other teams.
2. While he was studying in Dannistaan, former interim admin Kobayashi Taro has visited a doctor every week to deal with his sex addiction.
3. Internet traffic for adult websites is 5 timess higher in normally ultra-conservative Bai Lung than that of East Dannistaan.
4. BL Pop Superstar Joe Choe prefers texting his girlfriend instead of phoning her.
5. Voter registration for Communist Parties (The Marxist Party being the largest Communist party) is NOT on the decline. In fact, during 2010-2011, voter registration for the Marxist Party went up by 0.5%. Over 66% of the electorate are unaffiliated.

Choi Mayor bans celebration of Valentine's Day; calls event 'Not compatible with Bai Lungese culture'.

The Mayor of Choi has imposed a ban on the celebration of valentine's day, an event mostly followed by the West.

Mayor Ling Da Shui, a member of the Conservative Party, is considered one of the most conservative members of the party, banning anything that is perceived to be against Bai Lungese values including jay-walking, sneezing louder than 80dB, shouting at a police officer or elected official, purchasing pornography and stamping your feet.

In one case, a man was fined BL$100 for using his left hand to pick up litter. He was also ordered to attend classes which encourages people to use their right hand more.

The list of laws in which critics lambast as 'lunacy', the list does not end here. The ban on Valentine's Days is the latest victim of Mayor Ling's crackdown on 'un-Bai Lungese values'. Specifically, Mayor Ling considered Valentine's Day to be incompatible with Bai Lungese culture.

Quote:
 
'After much careful deliberation with the Aldermen, we have overwhelmingly decided to prohibit citizens of Choi from celebrating the mostly Western orientated event of Valentine's Day. We have felt that it is simply not compatible with the great Bai Lungese traditional culture which we strongly related to since the King Choi founded this nation and in which our greatest city is named after.'


When asked if people would move out of the city to celebrate the event in another part of Bai Lung, he bluntly replied:


Quote:
 
'I call for mayors in the other cities to follow my example or we will lose a great traditional heritage. We are the Bai Lungese people, not the British or the Americans or the Dannistrians.'


Lawyers and human rights groups are appealing to the High Court in an effort to unban the event and declare Ling's ban as unconstitutional.

Despite the ban being unpopular with the rest of Bai Lung, a local poll conducted by the Choi daily rates the mayor with a 85% approval rating.
