A former eNorth Korean starts a resistance war in eSouth Korea; the eMerican is just there because he's tall.

The Resistance Wars
Recently there have been many resistance wars, but there has not been much discussion or official orders why. The following resistance wars were started by foreign interests:

A random guy from the eUK named Lord of the Light started this resistance war in Joelabukdo, which was unsuccessful.

A prominent long-time eRussian named TorJado started these wars, which ended in "success" for the resistance and a return to eSouth Korea, due to TorJado's well-bankrolled operation:
Joelabukdo
Gyeongsangbukdo

The most recent resistance war in Chungcheongbukddo was started by Afanasiy Drago, the former eNorth Korean president and new eJapanese citizen who released this article encouraging eJapanese to support the resistance.

As of press time, this battle still rages. The resistance appeared to have the support of President Dokomo although it was not discussed by congress. Afanasiy Drago paid for the resistance war with his own gold, so there was no need for congressional approval. However, there are some consequences to holding certain regions.

The number of members of congress from each region as well as the number of wildcards is determined by the number of regions. The eWiki article details this HERE. As you can see, the number of members of congress per region are 10 each for the first four regions, then after that, it is equal 40 / # of regions, with the remainder serving as "wildcards," or those seats which go to the highest vote-getters who did not win in their region. As you can see from past election results, these wildcard winners are typically from regions where there is higher population--Kanto, Kyushu, and Hokkaido--each of which, coincidentally, has (or had) a Q5 hospital, which attracts more population. This "40 / # of regions" rule applies UNLESS the number of regions is great than four and would result in the NO wildcard seats at all, in which case one is subtracted from the region's winners and that surplus is added to the number of wildcards (for example, with 10 regions, there are three winners and 10 wildcards NOT four winners and no wildcards). It's an obscure rule, and even I had forgotten about this.

Fewer wildcard seats means better organized parties who move voters better have an advantage. Political parties and their presidents should take note of this in any discussion regarding a change in the number of regions.

I agree that too many wildcard seats make it easy for "gold-diggers" to get the sweet congressional gold, but too few might also deny representation for people who do not move to vote. In my opinion, where possible, a discussion should occur before changing the number of regions.

There is a military advantage to holding certain regions as well. A well-placed region would allow its holder to launch a blocking attack on another country, and if in the right place, could threaten a region that has actual value. eUSA needed to go through Kyushu to get a region near eIran's occupied Liaoning region and launch its attack. If eJapan retains Chungcheongbukdo, in the event of war, we can immediately threaten Theocrat-held Gyeonggido (the only region with all of their companies), forcing the Theocrats to defend there or risk losing the region until they can Resistance War it back.

As another member of congress described it, it is a knife held at their throat. Some say if the Theocrats felt threatened, they would simply Resistance War it back. I say force them to spend the money and time doing it, let us save our own resources for now. If changing the number of regions to lower wildcard seats is a priority, then we should get rid of Jeju first. A Theocrat-held Jeju would be able to attack Kyushu, but attacking one of our home regions would activate all our MPPs against the Theocrats.

Congressional Elections
Since it appears that there will likely be 9 regions on election day, that means there will be four winners per region, with 4 wildcard seats left over. Congressional elections are on the 25th of December, a day when many of you will be on holiday. I encourage you all to make sure you log on and vote, particularly for those candidates outside of the major population regions of Kanto, Kyushu, and Hokkaido. Your vote could make more of a difference than ever before. If you need moving tickets, please contact the Imperial Sun Party Organization.

If you are interested in running for congress on the ISP ticket, please contact me (some of you already have) and post your request in the appropriate ISP national forum section. Thank you!
