Vanuku

History of Vanuku

The Federal Democratic Republic of Vanuku was officially founded in 2135 by the Ad Hoc Security Party (formally Security Party). The five states as we know it today were formed after the War of Unification. The War of Unification was fought between the Catholic South (Caldonia) and the Oppresive North (Security Party; Vanuku). The war ended in the defeat of the Caldonian Movement, leading to the formation of the Republic of Vanuku under the guise of President Aaron Adams of the Security Party. After years of civil unrest, which eventually lead to the Vanuku civil wars, Democratic elections were finally allowed leading to some forms of oppositon. Finally the Liberal Democrat Party lead by Dr Josiah Bartlet, grandson of Caldonian General Issac Bartlet, toppeled the dictatorial Security Party in the first fully open Presidential election. Since being elected President Bartlet served almost 27 years unbroken except for the Constitutional crisis of 2159, when President Bartlet took leave of his office when his youngest daughter Zoe bartlet was kidnapped by the Vanuku Peoples Front (VPF). President Bartlet handed the powers of his office over to his political opposition, House leader, Angelo Morgenstern of the Pragmatist Party. Since returning back to office President Bartlet has overseen the largest economical expansion in the nations history, opening the state up to trade, treaties and the creation of a free market economy. During the Bartlet era, the nation recieved what President Bartlet described as the nations 'identity' with the creation of the national flag, national anthem, and finally a capital city. President Bartlet retired in 2174.

[edit] List of Presidents [edit] Fight for Peace, Freedom and the Presidency

The first President of Vanuku was the dictatorial ruler of the Ad Hoc Security Party Aaron Adams. President Adams had the entire Parliament executed after refusing to pass the Vanuku Bill of 2139. President Adams replace the 100 seat Parliament with 100 members of his own Ad Hoc Security Party, casuing mass uproar from the Vanuku people. The uproar ended with the eventual assisination of President Aaron Adams in 2145 by the vanuku Peoples Front (VPF). The people rejoyced in the death of the dictator and hoped for the renewed chance of Freedom, however Aaron's sister Alice Adams took the over the position of power from her deceased brother and continued in the same dictatorial ways as her brother. Dr Josiah Bartlet, leader of the Liberal Democrat Party, saw the chance of wrestling power from the Admas family, now weakened by the loss of Aaron, and the only heir to the family Alice, a more political inept woman then her brother. After organising mass rallies and with the help of the VPF, Dr. Josiah Bartlet finally had his dream for his people, the chance to vote in a free Presidential election. Dr. Bartlet lead the Liberal Democrat Part, and with the support of minor parties took the office of President with overwhelming support of the minor parties. Dr Bartlet had 51.59% of the vote after the first round, and to this day, the only President ever elected in Vanuku with only the first round required. President Alice Adams recieved only 0.44% of the vote, with the people now finally getting there wish of moving towards true democracy.
