Treaty of Iskenderabat signed, Dachenia cedes territroy to Hasanistan!

This afternoon, following negotiations between His Imperial Majesty Shahanshah of Hasanistan and Emperor of all-Pavlov Iskender IV, Baron Hasan Tradthar-i-falur and a representative of the Chiefdom of Dachenia, a treaty was signed between the Empire of Pavlov and the Chiefdom of Dachenia that settled a recent border dispute between the two nations. The treaty, titled the "Treaty of Iskenderabat" after Hasanistan's capital, saw the Chiefdom of Dachenia cede the territory of Kazakhizia, which is an enclave of Hasanistan, to the Empire of Pavlov. The Pavlovian government has put Kazakhizia under the administration of Hasanistan.

Kazakhizia has strong historical and cultural connections with Hasanistan. Kazakhizia borders Hasanistan's capital Iskenderabat and was established in 2013 as a Viadalvian colony known as Konraq after the Republic of Hasanistan allowed Viadalvia to claim an area bordering it. In 2014, when Hasanistan radically expanded its territorial claim, it allowed Konraq to continue to exist. In 2016, Viadalvia transferred Konraq to Dachenia, who renamed it Kazakhizia, and Hasanistan continued to allow its existance. However, following Hasanistan's annexation by Pavlov in August 2016, Kazakhizia's political status came into question as His Imperial Majesty Shahanshah of Hasanistan and Emperor of all-Pavlov Iskender IV began to pressure Dachenia into giving up Kazakhizia.

Following the signing of the treaty, Kazakhizia is expected to become a beglik of Hasanistan as promised in the treaty. This will make the new territory the smallest beglik of Hasanistan and the new beglik is planned to rechristened the "Beglik of Konraq-Kazakhizia". Although the cession of Kazakhizia will be immediate, Dachenia will be given at most three months to adjust to these changes. This includes time to remove any military presence from the region and registered Dachenian citizens of Kazakhizia being given the option of whether to keep Dachenian citizenship or being awarded Pavlovian citizenship.

Idealist leadership election: Protest vote gets majority, Baron Tradthar-i-falur retakes chairmanship!

In a shock turn of events, neither candidate won the Idealist Party's controversial leadership election which pitted fascist agitator Sir Pavle Savovic KOSA against conservative libertarian Sir Shady Morsi KCS. The majority of the party's eleven eligible voters voted for a "none of the above" option, which was only included by the request of rejected candidate Tanju Çakar. The third option, which was seen as a protest vote by left-wing Idealist Party members against the two right-wing candidates, had nine votes (53% of the vote) which beat Sir Savovic KOSA's six votes and Sir Morsi KCS's two votes. The result gave neither of the candidates a mandate to take over the role as chairman and following a tense emergency meeting that contained all members of the party who held a seat in Pavlov's State Council, including Sir Savovic KOSA and Sir Morsi KCS, it was decided that Baron Hasan Tradthar-i-falur had to retain the position of chairman.

Sir Savovic KOSA protested against reinstating Baron Tradthar-i-falur, claiming that the protest vote was not a valid option and that he won because he had the majority. Sir Savovic KOSA also threatened to leave the party and create his own political party. However, he eventually decided to stay and both him and Sir Morsi KCS decided to give their full support to Baron Tradthar-i-falur and help him reunite the party following the ideological split between left-wing and right-wing elements within the party.

The election result itself will be a relief to the ruling coalition, which the Idealist Party is the lesser partner of. The result means that the party will be still led by a supporter of a coalition and will not be taken over by Sir Savovic KOSA, who's main campaign promise was leaving the coalition.

Baron Tradthar-i-falur has said that as well the main goals of the party now will be gathering more members and supporters and making new reforms. Baron Tradthar-i-falur has said that he will not ignore the demands of the supporters of Sir Savovic KOSA and Sir Morsi KCS and he will take a more moderate approach on economic policies and the party will become more nationalistic to appease the right-wing of the party. He has also said that the party will not expect another leadership election in the near future, however if one is too take place it will be much better organized than this one was.

We interviewed both candidates of the election to here their thoughs:

Interview with Sir Shady Morsi KCS

Q: Hello Sir Morsi KCS, commiserations on your defeat.

A: Hello.

Q: What do you think went wrong, why didn't you win?

Q: Will this result change your policies or political views in anyway?

A: No.

Q: What did you think of your rival during the election? Would you have supported him if he won?

A: He has a very bad reputation in the entire micronational world. Mahuset banned him and he only wants to have power but on the other hand he has some good ideas.

Q: What do you think about him labeling you an "establishment candidate"?

A: Ironically he is using establishment elements to have build on his campaign. 

Q: If there was another leadership election to take place, would you run?

A: Yes.

Q: Thank you for you time, Sir Morsi KCS.

Interview with Sir Pavle Savovic KOSA

Q: Hello Sir Pavlov KOSA, commiserations on your defeat.

Q: What do you think went wrong, why didn't you win?

A: Well I think that the elections were not organised and if I could show my ideas to the people, I am sure I would win.

Q: Will this result change your policies or political views in anyway?

A: No, I won't allow this minor set back stop my goal of united and absolute Pavlov.

Q: What will you do now that you have lost? Will you continue to push for fascist reform?

A: I will continue to fight and push for fascist reforms and I know I have the support of party comrades.

Q: What did you think of your rival during the election? Would you have supported him if he won?

A: No. If he won I would have left the party. My opponent is just puppet of establishment.

Q: Do you blame establishment for your defeat?

A: No, I think it's the fault of election organizers because of the way that they poorly organized the election.

Q: Will you continue to oppose the Idealist Party being part of the coaltion led by the Right Party?

A: Yes because that is wrong and against our principles.

Q: If there was another leadership election to take place, would you run?

A: Yes.

Q: Thank you for you time, Sir Savovic KOSA.

Idealist Party to hold controversial leadership elections!

Following a week of demands for reform from some members, the Idealist Party founder, chairman and current Pavlovian Minister of National Security and Internal Affair Baron Hasan Tradthar-i-falur has announced that a leadership election will take place to decide a new chairman of the party. Just a few minutes ago, Baron Hasan Tradthar-i-falur and the three other members of the party who hold a seat in the Pavlovian State Council held a short online meeting where they discussed the future of the party and what direction it should move in. Following the meeting, His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of all-Pavlov granted the party the permission to hold leadership elections. Baron Hasan Tradthar-i-falur announced that he would not be standing as a candidate in the upcoming vote, stating that he wanted to concentrate on other matters. Instead two new candidates decided to throw their hat into the ring, current foreign minister Sir Shady Hosam Morsi KCS and viceroy of Daljam Pavle Savovic. Sir Morsi KCS is a self-described conservative libertarian and has been praised for his work as the foreign minister, his opponent has described him as an "establishment candidate". Sir Morsi KCS's opponent is the controversial figure Pavle Savovic, a self-described fascist and the viceroy of the recently admitted state of Daljam, who wants the party to move to the right. Mr Savovic has a questionable past and has a strong opposition to the current ruling coalition, in which the Idealist Party is the lesser partner. There has been some concern over the lack of both a left-leaning candidate due to the socialist leanings of the party's supporting demographic and former chairman, however Baron Tradthar-i-falur has said that the party will ensure it does not abandon its supporters. The election will be held tomorrow and will end on the following day to allow all party members to vote.

Idealist Party first regional affiliate established in Hasanistan!

Following short negotiations between leader of the Nomad Party and Pavlovian Idealist Party Hasan Çakar and leader of the Hasanistan Independence Party Shady Morsi, who is also an Idealist Party member, the Idealist Party's first regional affiliate has been established. The two regional political parties have merged and have established the Idealist Party of Hasanistan, the first affiliate party established in Pavlov. As Hasanistan is no longer a parliamentary democracy and the regional parties have no official power, the Idealist Party of Hasanistan will serve as a local pressure group promoting the ideals of the Idealist Party and making Hasanistan an Idealist stronghold in case of any future elections. The Idealist Party has also stated that it wishes to pressure Viceroy Saraç into joining the party and pressure the other political parties into integration. Hasan Çakar could not lead the regional affiliate as he is the leader of the main party, so Shady Morsi has been appointed leader. Hasan Çakar has also said he wishes to open other regional affiliates in the other states of Pavlov.
