On an otherwise completely ordinary day in Em'kolek, the President of the Republic of the Prospirian State, Kansek Mat'sen, was shot four times in the chest on his way to the national diet. The perpetrators have yet to be found, and the conservative portions of the government seem heavily apathetic, angering the PPU. Many have started pointing fingers, mostly at the conservatives and anarchists. An emergency election has been scheduled to be held in one year, as dictated by the constitution. Some wonder if the government will make it that far before collapsing; the powers conferred upon the president were some of the only things keeping the government capable of passing any legislation at all, since the president can shoot down efforts to shoot down laws.
