The begining:
The elections began in Zulia and Merida to decide who would be the leader of their new found union. The two states under protection have decided to unite under one banner. Though much of the population already agreed on how they wanted their government to be run a vote was still held to be fair to all parties. An age was dawning for the two states, and united, they knew they would stay strong.
The campaigns:
The people of Zulia and Merida were set in their decision to hold votes and declare independence from their protectors in a peaceful way. Many parties rose from the people some strong and some weak. It was decided the elections would take place after a year, the people had until then to make their decision. Of the major parties there were the "Peoples Revolutionary Party", "Democratic Union Party", "Capitalist Party", and "Socialist Party" among the secondary parties there were the "Anarchist Party", "Monarch Party", "Purist Party", and "Rationalist Party". After a long fought campaign many parties with similar ideals degraded and merged into a few super parties the "Socialist Peoples Party" and their leader Michael Ruiz (a combination of the Socialist and Peoples Revolutionary parties) and the "Freedom Party" with their leader Isaac Ramirez (a combination of the Democratic Union and Capitalist Parties) with the others losing support until they could not sustain the means to rally support.
The election Results were in and the party to rule Zulia and Merida was decided, with the leader Isaac Ramirez the Freedom Party was selected to write the constitution and laws of the nation. The government was set but until a constitution and basic laws were written up the people would not formally request independence from their protectors. A long and tedious process of votes, tallys and arguments began and lasted for about 6 months.
The new government of Zulia and Merida announced:
It was settled and the constitution was announced to the people for their approval. President Ramirez personally announced and read the constitution to the people with the supreme law.
A formal letter was sent to the protector od the two states in hopes of approval eventhough the people had already made up their minds:
The constitution and unification was made public to the world so that all may know and recognize the great Republic of Zulia.
Out of Character: (I know I ripped off the American constitution for the rights but I got a bit lazy)
