[[b]Melizean Stability[/b]: [b][color=green]7[/color][/b]][/center]
[center][h3][b]PROLOGUE[/b][/h3][/center]
[indent]Campaigns were held, rallies had. People flocked into the streets shouting: "[i]Saavedra por el presidente![/i]" and [i]"Marcela Linhares Lópes por el president![/i]" There were whispers alleging of electioneering, and others worse of direct bribes and promises being given. These were not covered in the Melizean news at all, however.

In July, 2020 the election was held, the results were in:
- [b][color=blue]Diego Saavedra[/color][/b]: 8,543,341 Votes (8 Votes) 
- [b][color=red]Marcela Linhares Lópes[/color][/b]: 3,853,853 (3 Votes)

President Elect Saavedra had a few crucial weeks to begin forming his cabinet and passing the budget.

[center][[b]President Saavedra[/b] must [b]Appoint a Cabinet[/b] and [b]Propose a Budget[/b] in IC. This will then be voted on by all Cabinet Members.]
[If the [b]Proposed Budget[/b] is [b][color=red]Voted Down[/color][/b] Melizea immediately loses [b]1 Stability[/b]. The [b]Minister of Security[/b] can order [b]Security Units[/b] into the capital for a [b]Approval at Gunpoint[/b]. Otherwise, a new [b]Budget[/b] must be proposed.][/center][/indent]
