Party for Reunification

Following Ryker003's acquisition of Elwynnese citizenship, the Party for Reunification received the full backing of the OS and its resources. This led to a massive media appeal to the Party's target base through radio advertisements and the erection of billboards throughout Asantelian and Eastern Wintergleam (officially the congressional county of Wintergleam and the bailiwick of Maskerer). The campaign, unofficially dubbed "P.R.P.R.", also mailed to each address in the party's mailing list a small crate of PR flags and silver plated pins shaped as a square knot to be worn and distributed throughout the community in solidarity.

Elwynnese Worker's Party

Meanwhile the EWP campaign focused on the unholy N&H–DEM–PR alliance as threatening to the very fabric of the Elwynnese nationhood - that if Truls won a re-election, given the PR's support of him, that Elwynn would cede the counties of Asantelian and Wintergleam to the Sovereign Confederation. Further, EWP campaigns focused on the N&H as the warmonger, highlighting that under N&H rule, Elwynn has been involved in wars in Northern Tellia, RIB, Floria, and is likely to be involved against the Guttuli Protectorate as well. With Qor as Princess of the ELwynnese Republic, the government would seek out peace and stability, within the Raspur Pact defensive alliance, and bring an end to wars. Further, the EWP would be the guarantor for social equality, and the strength of the Republic – the Elwynnese peoples united as one nation, undivided.

N&H

The N&H policy on the Asantelian question is that plebiscites will be held in the Bailiwicks concerned, so as to determine their ultimate sovereign allegiance. The outcome of these plebiscites, to be held one year after the election, will only concern the status of the bailiwicks of Tephal, Asantelian and Orenthaven. Eastern Wintergleam is and remains historically Elwynnese and will only host referenda if a similarly free and fair vote is held in Western Wintergleam. Pro-N&H publications such as the longstanding Daily Mail & Telegraph of Eliria heaped scorn upon the EWP position viz the Raspur Pact, noting that the wars so vociferously condemned in the EWP campaign were the very same defensive wars, undertaken for the protection of allied powers that the Pact was intended to wage. In the words of one editorial: "Either the EWP is being wilfully disingenuous about its adherence to the Pact or else its leadership has demonstrated a fundamental ignorance of the basic details of our country's foreign policy and grand strategy which ought to terrify all right thinking Elw."

The N&H campaign, focusing on loyalty and solidarity in the face of those who sought to diminish Elwdom, also ran very heavily with an angle of celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Auspicious Occasion - the expulsion of the Vanic monarchy and the Froyalaner settler population. Propaganda materials released by the N&H described the expulsion of the Froyalaners, and their subsequent fate at the hand of Imperial authorities, as a "vindication of Elwdom" and the "true commencement of the second independence era".

The N&H pledged to continue its campaign against the culture of corruption and accommodation that had been fostered in the Congressional Counties during the weak succession of AIP governments. The Censor in the former Northern Commonwealth would be joined by a Public Accountability Tribunal especially dedicated to holding former AIP regime officials to account for their compromises and connivance with the twin evils of Vanic Revanchism and Verionism.

Amongst the social and economic policies announced by the N&H was included a proposal for land reforms obliging municipal corporations to release a third of the lands under their direct ownership and charge for the purpose of resettling veterans and the dispossessed, the use of public funds for road building and construction projects, a tapering off of historic fuel subsidies for cities in unsustainable locations within the circle of the Boreal latitudes, and the redevelopment of Vijayanagara as a free port so as to encourage inward investment into Agnesia in the wake of the Verionist Vespers and the expulsion of the Iron Company.
