Voting ends on the 18th.]] ------------------------ Southern Finland Anita Pesonen: Born to a middle-class family, she has a long history of serving in the government, she was the most successful Prime Minister of Finland. With that position now gone (And her two terms served) she aimed to become the representative for her home province. She believes in continuing the nationalization of the military industry to avoid the "lowest bidder" system, and regulation of other industries to make sure they follow environmental and anti-corruption laws. She is completely against a welfare system and supports currently-in-place Equal-Opportunity programs, which are designed to provide the chances for everyone to pull themselves up with scholarships and equal access to education. She has repeatedly refused to comment on what religion she is, and supports a secular government and freedom of religion. Petri Heiskanen: Born to an upper class family, he is rather new to politics. He denounces claims that he acts like he "knows better than everyone else" and calls his views "common sense". He aims to de-nationalize all industries but enforce strict regulations on every aspect of industry, incuding pay rates and contracts to environmental impact. He offers tax breaks to 'green' industries and raised taxes on 'non-green' industries. He wants to remove the current Equal-Opportunity programs and create Welfare, Social Security, and Child Support programs. He supports a secular government and freedom of religion, and is a Catholic, but has been known to lean towards moralism on several issues. Janne Holopainen A mysterious man, rumors are he was born to some kind of Finnish Royalty or was adopted by somebody with copious amounts of wealth. He calls for the nationalization of every industry, and that everyone is to be paid the same amount for their work, no matter the job. He is completely against Religion, saying he would deport everyone who held religious believes. Western Finland Aatos Varis: An ex-general and veteran of the Ubersteinian takeover of Scandinavia, he is a staunch supporter of Uberstein and the currently in place Republican-Ubersteinist programs. He claims that regulation should be lessened, and that people need to "learn how to work for themselves", being completely against welfare and other programs he claims "throw money at problems without fixing them". He is a staunch Athiest and has publicly made his views on religion as being absurd well known, but accepts that people should have freedom to believe in "whatever silly nonsense they want". Auli Häggman: New to politics, she worked previously as a cashier as a small-time market in a run-down area of Turku and worked her way through college. She has been called a "bleeding heart" by many Republican-Ubersteinists, and is known for her anti-military stance. She claims that more industries should be nationalized, saying that "If our soldiers are free from the crimes of 'made by the lowest bidder', why shouldn't everyone else be free of it?". When asked what religion she is, she replied "Pastafarian" and says that people should be free to believe what they want. Jan-Erik Kortekangas: Born to a poor family, he has worked his entire life and has no upper-tier education, records showing that he was ineligible for a scholarship. He says he wants to "make it so people in his position" are not "doomed to a life of working in factories or on farms". He is pro nationalization of industry and the creation of "equal wages". His stance on religion is not known. Eastern Finland Joni Paasilinna: One of the new, younger members of the Republican-Ubersteinist party, he supports many of their views, but has been known to be less militarist and for the denationalization of the Military. "Why should they have a free ride while other businesses have to compete? It's completely unfair and creates decadent loss of creativity." He went to school using a scholarship program, and is completely against welfare, calling it "A breeding pit for lethargic inaction". He is an Athiest and supports freedom of Religion, saying that it "shouldn't even be discussed, it isn't a government issue." Arvid Holanti: Little is known about him, and he is known to be incredibly paranoid, claiming "the man" is attempting to remove him from existence and that "making his existence known by running for office" is the only way to save himself. His stances are completely unknown but assumed to be in line with the Liberal Party's. Mathilda Harikkala: One of the Founding members of the Communist Party of Finland, she is well known for her anti-religion and anti-capitalist stance. Many call her an "extremist" due to her financial support of pro-revolution newspapers and radio stations. She has been arrested 3 times for destruction of public property, but was never sentenced due to the defense that she "never personally destroyed the property and merely was in the same area of the riot."
