Directorate Schedules Repeat Election
The Mel-akkam Electoral Directorate (MED) has scheduled the upcoming national repeat election for October 21st, 2023, two months earlier than repeat elections are traditionally held. The repeat election was called by the MED after volunteer ballot counters sabotaged around 4,000 ballots cast in the Amri and Daimabad Provinces, most of which were votes for the centrist-technocratic Coalition of Independents and the centre-right Liberal Democratic Party. While all notable political leaders accepted the change, a group of clerics objected, pointing to the auspicious nature of solstices and equinoxes in the traditional Pashupatist religion and claiming that elections must be held on those days, as they have been since around 2600 BCE.
Good governance for the people
The Mel-akkan Coalition of Independents works tirelessly for the common man, ensuring your safety and prosperity. We are nonpartisan, ideologically balanced, and experts in the field of public administration – so a vote for the Coalition is a vote for competence.
Our Promises:
100,000bng average income
A strong social welfare and social safety net system
Competent governance by experienced administrators

Mel-akkan Returned by North Korea
A Mel-Allan citizen arrested by the government of North Korea on accusations of “espionage” has been returned. The repatriation of Cik’ka Kunaru, a journalist from Shortugai Province, was part of a larger deal in which Mel-akkam agreed to repeal sanctions in return for Kunaru’s return as well as allowing Mel-akkan inspectors to visit certain North Korean nuclear weaponry facilities.
Free market, free country, free people
Socialism isn’t the only way! As Mel-akkam’s first opposition party, the Liberal Democrats have delivered free market governance with the goal of building a prosperous nation of free, independent people. As they say, a rising tide floats all boats – and we will rise the tide more than anyone.
Our Promises:
Increasing our GDP by 50% in 5 years
The privatisation of the economy, providing ample funding for social programmes and investments
Less crime through more police and slum clearance

Election Saboteurs Arrested
The Mel-akkam Social Harmony Directorate (MSHD) has taken around 20 election volunteers into custody on suspicion of having sabotaged ballots in the aborted Autumnal Equinox election. MSHD Director Anta Sam’mati said that “the suspects are being held in custody for questioning. The Justice Commission will soon decide whether to press charges.”
For peace and progress!
The Mel-akkan Progressive Party has always fought for freedom, social justice, and inclusion. Like we freed our nation from the British, so too will we free all citizens from poverty, discrimination, and inequality. A vote for us is a vote for freedom, socialism, and most importantly, progress.
Our Promises:
Low inequality, and a 90% income tax on the ultra-wealthy
The nationalisation of all industries, spreading the nation’s wealth among the people
Equal rights for all Mel-akkans, regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation
