Zaryn Harkov was an interesting figure. His past was relatively unknown and his future even less certain. He was fortunate enough to have spent nearly all of his life in the Province of [b][color=gray]Dabrado[/color][/b]. With 140,000 votes he managed to swoop up the Fourth Assembly Seat there out of Tenkossé City, appealing mostly to the patriotic fervor there. The [b]Ultranationalist Party[/b] was weakly funded and Zaryn Harkov was not a well established candidate. In fact, he did not even appear in the National Assembly in the two months the government had been assembled and his party recorded an abstention for every single vote since the election.

His death was equally as anomalous, and the headline read: [b][u]MNA PASSES QUIETLY INTO THE NIGHT[/u][/b] citing lingering health concerns. He died, at age 36, in his home in Tenkossé City. Whether the Bureau of Security would investigate the issue further was unknown, but by decree of the Constitution, for every seat available an election was to be held. In the absence of a Member of the National Assembly, an election would be held. This election would last six weeks and any Political Party could sponsor a candidate and campaign as they wished. If not, that was also possible. [Every [b]Political Party[/b] that wishes to [b]Campaign[/b] in [b]Dabrado[/b] can PM the GM the following: Name of the Candidate.

[b]Bourem, Ziwa Province[/b]

The [i]Samgola Dawn Security Force[/i], an ad-hoc section of Samgola Dawn activists who had been ordered into the province at the behest of Party Leader Zan Mahol had been going door to door to [i]recruit[/i] new members. The allegations that the [b]S.D.S.F[/b] were conducting themselves in an aggressive and militant way were vehemently refused and an attempt to interview one of the members by the [b]Samgolan Ziwa Main Station News Channel[/b] was refused. Instead, Zan Mahol met with [REDACTED], speaking briefly with him regarding the issues that Ziwa was facing. The [b]S.D.S.F[/b] continued to peruse the territory, ensuing that the party line was followed. [[b]Samgola Dawn[/b] receives +3 Strength and receives 6,000 Activists.]
