Tonight after a slightly lengthened election, Cameron Koehler was declared the victor of the 2021 election. This will be his 3rd term in office. He will be sworn in on October 4th, and his inauguration will be broadcast to KBC. This came after an initially shocking election, where Koehler was forecast to win but Leon Montan took the majority of early votes, where at his peak he lead the race with 83% of the vote. As more votes started coming in, more were voting for Koehler. It was a tie until today 2 more citizens voted, putting Koehler at a majority. The election was declared over at 10 PM CDT, 28 September 2021. Along with Koehler being sworn in as Prime Minister on the 4th of October, Sir Sander Koff, a highly respected military officer and Lord in Kapreburg will be sworn in as Deputy Prime Minister. Cameron Koehler got 7 votes (53.8%), Leon Montan got 5 votes (38.5%), and 1 person marked their ballot with "None of the Above".
Today a new colony was gained in the Philippines, granted by Hon. Jayden Dagsa. The idea for a colony in the Philippines was first proposed by Jackson I to Dagsa on 8 July 2021. They worked on the new colony and on 9 July 2021 officially formed it. It takes a lot of inspiration from the former Commonwealth of the Philippines, which was when the United States controlled the Philippines. The colony is named MacArthur, after American General Douglas MacArthur, who played an important role in the Philippines during WWII, and even served in the Filipino Army as a Field Marshal. The flag is inspired by the current Filipino flag and the coat of arms of the colony is inspired by the coat of arms of the Commonwealth of the Philippines. Dagsa was granted the Colonizer's Medal for granting the Empire this land, and is the governor of the new colony.
