Jakanian Modern Political History

First Free Comemorable Elections
In March, 2358 the Islamic Theocracy of Islamisbad held its first free elections. After the leave of the Islamic National Front - the dictatorial party in complete power of the nation - the nation was free to have democratic elections.

The registered parties in the Election of 2358 were the Liberal Democratic Party, the United Democrats of Alonia, the Moderate Republican Party, and the oldest party, the Jakanian Liberal Socialists. The election results were best stated as confusing, giving the Jakanian Liberal Socialists a near majority with 49 of the 100 seats under their control. The runner up was the Moderate Republican Party which gained control of 21 seats. The United Democrats of Alonia picked up 18 seats and the Liberal Democratic Party won a small minority of 12 seats.

Political Eras
Progression Era

2354 - 2360

Throughout the first years of Jakania all parties worked together to ensure progress for the nation. The Supreme Council was active and working rapidly to reform tyrannical legislation left over from the old regime. These years are known as the Progression Era, where all parties were able to work together and find a common consensus.

There were very few notable problems in party exchanges other than a short stalemate between the Jakanian Liberal Socialists and the Liberal Democratic Party.

Coalition Era

2360 - 2375

During the mid-years of the Jakanian Republic, parties engaged in vicious politics and legislation. Two newer parties known as the Secularist Libertarian Party and the Jakanian Citizens' Party emerged as a new and overwhelming majority with 280 of the 480 seats in the Supreme Council. All of the Founders of Modern Jakania saw these two parties as a threat.

For a brief few years, legislation was brief and hostility was at a minimum. However, by 2362 the minority was outraged with the majority. In response to the majority's tyranny, the Liberal Democratic Party formed the Allied Protectors of the Supreme Council. This organization was formed to block the majority and its "fascist ideologies and legislations". Four parties joined the A.P.S.C. out of the seven in the country. They were the Liberal Democratic Party, United Democrats of Jakania (then at the time the United Democrats of Alonia), Independent Party, and the Moderate Republican Party. The Jakanian Liberal Socialist Party declared their support of the A.P.S.C. but declined to join.

Throughout the years, the minority coalition fluttered and by time grew smaller. After a short rebound in two elections, the minority grew ever smaller. After repeated attempts to gain seats, the minority coalition was broken.

New Reform Era

2375 - Present

The Liberal Democratic Party took action and temporarily became the National Conservative Party. By implementing a lenghty series of legislation known as the "Radical Amendment Series I - XII", the nation's politics were changed. The Liberal Democratic Party garnered a mass increase of 58 seats and was propelled to 87 seats in the Supreme Council. The Jakanian Party of Jakania gained a huge amount of 74 seats, increasing their power to 98 seats. The majority parties grasp on the Supreme Council was broken.

The New Reform Era is still in modern action. We have yet to see fully what is to become of Jakanian Politics now.
