Elections in the Viking republic were commencing, during the heat of a war.
"Its so stupid!" Prime Minister Canute growls in annoyance, "Ive been so busy dealing with the war that i havent had time to try and shore up support for my re-election, I am going to lose this election and changing leadership mid war is a BAD idea..."
Prime Minister Canute leaves his office and heads for the Senate chambers to hear the results.
Results of the Election--
--Republican party(Canutes party) 29%
--Militarist Party 12%
--Monarchist Party 13%
--Liberation Party 19%
--Theocratic Party 11%
--Undecided or Unable to vote due to war 16%
Much to the Prime Ministers shock, much of the Republic still believed in him and his party, and he remained in power.

Thank you for your aid friend.
We will hopefully soon push the English out of our lands, and be able to assist your efforts against Germany in some way.
To: Russia
From: VikingLand
We will submit our vote for you if you denounce all ties with England and agree to aid us in upgrading our army to large and navy to small.
TO: India
From: VikingLand
You will recieve our vote for Pope if Russia does not agree to aid us.
The reason we have not automatically submitted vote for you is we are dissapointed you and China have used this war as a bargaining chip to expand territories ruled by your allies you would otherwise have to invade to occupy.
In that light what is to stop you from blackmailing us in a similar fashion?
