==Reactions==
===Domestic reaction===
*The Nationalist & Humanist Party of Floria suffered the worst election result ever in Florian history by not even gaining 1% of the electoral vote. 
*Private businesses praised the win of the [[National Party of the Republic]] stating that the party had changed the economic and political image of the country. 
*The [[First Order of the Florian Republic]] accepted defeat and almost disbanded moments later. Much First Order politicians threatened to leave causing turmoil.

===International reaction===
*[[File:Shireroth flag.png|25px|border|Shireroth]] Shirerithian commentators - seizing on suggestions that 123 candidates had been elected to a 120 seat chamber - mostly mocked the Florian general election, both in terms of its conduct and the overall result. The poor performance of the N&H Floria was attributed to alleged systematic fraud and corruption in the Florian government, and the emigration of loyalist families to the [[Florian Free State]] around [[Blyth]] in the aftermath of the [[War of Lost Brothers|occupation]] and [[Florian Civil War|civil war]] which had destroyed mostly everything in the south of the country. 
*[[File:Flag USSO 3.png|25px|border|USSO]] No statement as of 19/01/2018
*[[File:SANE Flag.png|25px|border|SANE]] No statement as of 19/01/2018
*[[File:Caputiaflag.png|25px|border|Caputia]] The outgoing Government of PM Christophe Landry made a brief statement, "we note that the Florian Republic continues its march towards progress and more football stadiums."
