Campaigns

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.

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.
