The Ottoman delegation arrived in Prague in the morning. The delegation was lead by Ahmed Nacar, the deputy leader of the Red-Green Bloc followed by Alexander Xinidis and İsmet Yılmaz. The delegation ascended up the numerous stairs that elevated the University as the morning fog shrouded the city.
"This is a big day, gentlemen", spoke Alexander with a hint of excitement. "Our bloc will finally no longer be ignored in the Chamber."
Yılmaz let out a cynical chuckle, "Heh! Oh we are not ignored now, the Tefvik made that clear."
Nacar veered over at Yılmaz and simply said, "Power both attracts friends and foes. And the closer our foes wish to come to us, all the better."
"Great, now you got Ahmed going again. Good job, İsmet "
As the delegation approached the ornate buildings that materialized from the morning fog, the bickering died down. Soon after, they found the delegations from Czech Slavia, Fremet and the UNSR waiting in the meeting room, appearing mildly anxious. The three men greeted the delegation and did some small talk while they awaited the start of the meeting.

After exchanging pleasantries with with each guests prof. Hudeček official began the meeting. "Dearest comrades, it is a great honour for me and my colleagues to welcome you in Prague. We hope you will enjoy your stay here and that the debate will enrich all of us. I raise a toast to your work comrades."
After his speech prof. Hudeček gave the word to prof. Rottová, she stood up, thanked prof. Hudeček and said: " Comrades, I believe that in the past few days all our eyes were set on Icholasen and our hearts were with the Nicoleizian workers. Our eyes were lighted up and our hearts were pleased, when we learned of the Nicoleizian revolution. And despite hardships that the imperialist world causes for the UNSR the Communist Party of Icholasen and its leader comrade Jirluchuz are leading the masses from victory to victory! For that reason we would like you to sing the anthem of UNSR to celebrate the revolution and express our solidarity!"
After singing both the anthem of UNSR and The Internationale, prof. Hudeček once again began to speak: "Now it is time to confirm our plan for this meeting and the yearly plan of meetings. This is time for you to propose any amendments." -
Jakob stood up.
"Yes, we would like to motion to add an amendment to the docket.We call for a motion to append the docket at item number 8: 'Other Topics' to include a plenary session to discuss and establish a position and strategy on normalising the relations between Fremet and the UNSR. This issue is of paramount importance to ensure the longevity of the efforts of the proletariat in Icholasen and abroad."
-
Alexander says in a softened voice, "I second the motion"
-
Françoise Jardin said "I wholeheartedly accept the motion."
-
Hudeček looked at his colleagues who both nodded and proclaimed: "Our delegations agrees with what comrade Jakob Müller has proposed. Four votes are for his proposition, zero are against it, no delegation abstained, The motion was accepted, when we get to Other Topics you will be invited to speak first comrade Jakob."
"Now I would like to invite our comrades from UNSR to make us familiar with the election strategy of CPI and if they could share their ideas on the election strategy of CPI." -
Françoise got up to speak. "Our national policy is to push for our candidates in the local elections and the national elections in Icholasen coming up this April via old and new medias. Both online and paper and billboard advertising will be poured in for our Communist candidates. In addition, CPI is prepared to help smaller leftist parties in Europe with money and contacts for advertising agencies that we have grown to trust so far. I also think out strategy should be a European one, we are trying to get recognised in the European Council, but I am unsure as to how it will pan out. If not, we should caucus around someone for Premier and Internal Affairs Commissioner so that we can have the best chance of having a leftist represent us in the European Commission."
-
"Understood, perhaps comrades here would like to hear more about your political system to better understand it and to help them make any advice. Nevertheless it is time for other delegations to propose their advice to the UNSR delegation on how to help CPI achieve victory and convince the imperialist bloc in the EU to finally recognize the UNSR" Hudeček proclaimed.
-
After a break Hudeček rose up again and spoke: "Our delegation has crafted our proposal for Nicoleizian elections. Comrade Šumavský will read our proposition." Hudeček sat down while Šumavský standed up and begun reading: "The CPI is advised to carry out an anonymous election poll among the populace. If the results of the poll are favourable for the CPI we advise for the results to be published, if the results are however not favourable for the CPI we advise for not publishing the results and declaring a moratorium on election polls 14 days before elections. CPI should also conduct series of regional polls showing them what policies the populace in the regions supports. Considering the decentralised nature of the UNSR we advise for the party to set up candidates with different policies in different voting districts with accordance to what the local populace wants, loyalty of the candidates to the party leadership should however be a priority. CPI is also advised to reach out to well known public figures and attempt to make silent agreements with them to endorse the party candidates. If the situation according to the polls looks grim for the CPI we advice the for a set of principles that would declare loyalty to revolutionary ideals and the new democratic regime to be made, as the new regime needs to consolidate after revolution, the document containing the principles would be mandatory to sign by all potential candidates, electoral committees should then try to research the potential candidates and forbid the majority of those who do not seem loyal to revolutionary ideals. Finally if the situation appears to be so dire for the CPI, that victory seems unobtainable a single candidates list composed by the party should be presented to the voters with the option to vote for this list, or against it. In such a case secret ballot is not recommended. In any case it is advised for the UNSR to invite foreign election observers."
As Šumavský finished reading, Rottová also stood up and said: "We would like to ask the delegation from the UNSR to consider our proposals. Thank you." and with that being said Hudeček invited the delegations from Fremet and the Ottoman Empire to present their proposals. -

"Now comrades, it looks like there are no more advises, and as the elections in Icholasen had already begun, I am sorry t end this point of discussion." prof. Hudeček sadi, then excused himself and walked away for a moment with a mobile phone in his hand.
He returned after 15 minutes and started talking to his colleagues. after a few minutes were passed prof. Rottová nodded at him, stood up and began her speech. "Comrades, it has been brought to my attention, that there are voices in Icholasen that are undermining socialist solidarity, these voices however do not come from the people of Icholasen, their origin is in the orthodox church in Inquista. Comrade Lallana recently had a speech in Icholasen, in which she showed the whole world that she is nothing but a pseudointellectual. She talked about recent trip of Nicoleizian foreign minister comrade Sanders to Czech Slavia, to officialy visit the official of this country. And comrade Lallana is surprised by this, she is surprised that a foreign minister visits another country officials. Comrade Lallana instead sees a conspiracy, she sees comrade Sanders, and other comrades close to him, as puppets of foreign country. She claims that foreigners is trying to influence elections in Icholasen, yet the only foreigner to involve themselves with the elections in UNSR is comrade Lallana herself. And she uses that to criticize the friendly relations of UNSR and Czech Slavia and to undermine the principles of socialist solidarity, that are so dear to those two countires and their citizens. It is a shame that representatives from Inquista are not here, I am certain we would love to hear from them on this. Because they are not here, and cannot defend the pseudointellectual comrade Lallana I won't continue with critiquing her recent steps any further. But I must ask you, comrades delegates, to issue a statement condemning her involvement in the Nicoleizian elections and condemning a policy of undermining socialist solidarity, thank you." -
Prof. Hudeček stood up unce again, after yet another phone call, his voice clearly shaking. "Comrades... I have received a strong criticism from the Communist Party of Czech Slavia for our work. I of course fully agree with the criticism. It was proposed to me, that we should end all activities of our organization and draw a plan for the next year, when we will start working properly. I also announce to you that my colleague Šumavský, who was here on behalf of the Czech Socialist Party, which ceased to exist, joined the Communist Party of Czech Slavia." Hudeček made a long pause.
"But before we vote on these things I.... we... I recieved a message that comrade Kohout personally is coming to our meeting right now. And comrade Corbychov is also invited to join us or send a representative here immediately. It is... highly recomended to accept this invitation." Hudeček made yet another long pause. He was clearly thinking about something. "Comrade Müller, I beg you to invite comrade Corbychov here right now.... please..." -
Corbychov had had a rough year. He had lost horrifically to Fremet's major parties, his political allies were now running to the Socialists, he was battling forces within his party pushing him to join with Erna's government, and, to top it all off, he was now flying basic economy on an Air Fremet flight to Czech Slavia to get a good dressing down by some fellow leftists.
"Pay to choose where I fucking sit? F-Corp— more like FU-Corp."
He gathered himself as he boarded the plane, fortunately for him he was able to secure a window seat (on row 36) with his frequent flyer miles.
He arrived in Prague (not too much worse for wear) and rushed to see Professor Hudeček. He always enjoyed being in Czech Slavia, the beautiful buildings, clean streets, and well-fed populace served as a staunch contrast to the crumbling socialist state in Icholasen. Such sights always reaffirmed his faith in his ideals.
He was soon whisked away by some rather burly security officers and placed before Prof. Hudeček.
He looked into his eyes, and spoke, "I know why I am here. I have failed comrade. I fear that my party may not last into the next election cycle. There is much talk of merging with the Socialist Party. Fremetian politics is moving left, but we seem to have been left out."
Corbychov looked more weary than ever. He had been fighting for decades for a real march to the left in Fremet, and now that it had finally begun, he was left almost completely out of it.
