This week the MU Cordis Die started a coup to take over the country. The coup was successful, and now eCanada is under the rule of Rylde. There have been various reasons suggested as to why he couped the country, a big one being that since the speaker candidate from his party was not picked, he got mad and couped the country. In a one question interview with Rylde, I asked him why he decided to coup the country. Here was his response:
“I launched the coup for a few reasons actually. For starters we were building our party with a strong campaign of asking for accountability from all the other top 5 parties.
The CPF took this as a threat as they themselves had zero media presence and had not asked for accountability from their congress members. Their first order of business after we received more voters than they did was to unite what was left of congressmen from the other top 5 parties against us in the speaker vote.
This in itself is not a horrible act but the fact they were trying to drag my party as well as my MU through the mud for being united. You yourself know I never once gave the order who to vote for or sent additional pms as we thought it was a free election.
We were very mistaken as CPF created a Us vs Them environment where upon we were some kinda of a vile villain that were up to no good in the country by building our party and publicly shaming other inactive top parties.
It would be funny to guess how many pms they had going and how many pms were sent trying to block a perfectly fine speaker in Joseph Rich. He's not a jerk and a very respectable player who has never once done anything to warrant this kind of uniting against him. Its not like we were trying to give me the job or Rolo.
After they united the dregs of the leftover parties I thought "to hell with them". It seemed like anything we were going to do going forward would be looked at with scorn and suspicion.
I figured might as well just take them out of the Govt equation altogether if all they’re going to try and do is make you out to be a villain to the entire country. All they did was create that which they feared. It may have made them right in the end through their own actions so I wonder if it was worth it.”
Since the dictatorship, media has reached levels that haven’t been seen for months, with an estimated average of 20 - 30 comments on any articles given towards the subject. This is because of some political warfare between the parties, which will be described below.

With conflict steaming up between Rylde’s Whorehouse and the rest of the political parties, the media has been stormed with strong political views and some articles are reaching 50 or 60 comments. This Week In remains unbiased towards either side. The conflict is believed to have started a couple days before the dictatorship, with various political accusations and conspiracies coming up over the September speaker vote.

After Rylde became dictator, he was quick to action, releasing a budget for where the money will be used in the time coming. Here’s the budget:
The total expenses is equivalent to the forecasted tax revenue this month (7000 per day x 30 days). Some of these expenses are new and will have categories of their own in this article.

This week Rylde announced a new weekly contest for players to participate in. Each week Muglack, Chochi and Foxfire will review and judge each article released to pick the top 3. They will then hand out prize money for exceptional writing. 1st gets $1000, 2nd gets $600 and 3rd gets $400. This program is an attempt to revive the media and make it active again.

Along with writing contests, an old program was revived this week. The program is named the Training Grounds Upgrade Act. Many months ago this program was for loaning gold to new players who would then pay for training ground upgrades, and they had to pay it back within 30. The program is currently being revised, making the program from a loan to a funding program.

A supply program for newer players is now receiving funding from the government. The program, run by Xichael, attempts to help players by supplying them with food and weapons each day. Up until now the program ran on donations, and the funds were slowly running dry. Now each month the government funds this program with $50000.

Rylde announced his military plans for the coming weeks this week. His first statement was that we are going to keep some of UK’s regions, as they are busy dealing with Slovenia. In the meantime Canada will be having a training war with Ireland for the next week. Canada will give back all of Ireland’s regions at the end of the week. Along with those, Canada is also saving up for an Airstrike against a country yet to be determined. The airstrike is relying partially on donations from the population to support it.

With so much activity I have decided that 40% of the cc I make off of this article’s endorsements will be split evenly between Xicheal’s Supply Program and funding the Airstrike. Have a great week everybody!

I think this has been the longest article I've ever written. Took me around 6 hours yesterday.
good stuff
This is what an active government looks like.
The media is the most active it's ever been? What kind of crap propaganda are you trying to write for Rylde?
Media is so dead that anyone submitting an article would be a top 5 article at the moment due to dictatorship.
Rylde created the whole "I need every government position cuz i'm a retard and spend my life on this game" situation and you know it. Don't try to act unbiased when you're writing from his side.
Were you paying attention the week before Dictatorship?
Muglack literally wrote an article called "How to write a top 5 article" and the content in the article read "Move to eCanada" - That's all it took
Nothing has changed with the exception that we have had a ton of articles in the last week, some with 50+ comments
Dean22, You're a real throwback to the past, don't ever change. When I read stuff you write it's like I'm walking through a museum
This Week In is unaffiliated with any political party, and no propaganda was ever has or ever will be written inside or affiliated within the confines of This Week In. If you had looked at the media 2 days ago or a day ago when I wrote this, you would have seen so many articles we needed a second page (we often dont) with many of them reaching out to 50 or 60 comments and 40 or 50 votes, compared to a week before where there weren't even 3 articles at some points.
Article was released 4 hours ago and it's as about as neutral as your party affiliation/donations.
You're fighting a losing battle dean. There was nothing in there that was biased. If you can find some propaganda or proof of bias please let me know so I can correct it. If not, please stop commenting like this.
You've been breathing the Magic Bus exhaust a little too deeply, I guess.
If you don't believe media activity has picked up recently, you're simply in denial of reality and there's no point arguing with you, because things like logic and facts have ceased to matter. Which is something many of us have come to expect from CPF lately anyways. And from you in particular.
Describing a situation != bias towards it.
Just take another bong hit, eat some Doritos, throw on some Crosby, Stills and Nash and take a nap.
you need a heading called
"BUTTHURT"
That details all the Butthurt shown from the other side when they don't get to do things the way they want to and cry about it incessantly
I'm sure you could write a stand-alone article on that. Interviews would be nice too.

Oh Canadian politics are such a joy.
