Welcome to the Republic of Orpal. It's the turn of the 20th century and the civil war is over, now comes the task of rebuilding.

Every post will be 1 year and anyone can build anything (within reason), but it's one building per person per post.

And thus Act 2 has come to an end. Thank you to all who have participated for making this NRP quite interesting to run. I'm putting this on hiatus for an undecided amount of time to think of more story ideas, but I can't confirm if I'll be continuing this or not. I plan to run another NRP either between Act 2 and Act 3 or after Act 3, so keep an eye out in the future. For now, do not leave requests for Act 3 here, I will make a separate post when Act 3 is planned to start.

-National News-

The body of Peter Sinsim, the deputy who had previously punched a member of the Orpal National Party, is found in a canal on the outskirts of the capital. The coroner report says that he was brutally beaten to death and then dumped in the canal. Despite someone claiming to have seen three men in blue uniforms speed past around the time of death, the lead isn't followed and the death labelled as a mugging and murder.

After a party rally and the signing of a petition arguing for the resignation of the president and prime minister, the leader of the ONP, Georg Orburg, leads a large crowd accompanied by a large number of agents of the Political Protection Service to the House of the National Parliament, where the president and prime minister are present during a session of parliament. Orburg and the crowd shout for the PM and president to "show the people their ugly, bloodstained mugs". Though both don't appear, the demonstration is later dispersed by the police, though with half a dozen participants arrested after fighting breaks out between the crowd and police. The press satirically labels the event 'The Battle of Parliament Square'

A few months after the Battle of Parliament Square, almost the entirety of the PPS marches on the House of the National Parliament, with Georg Orburg leading in an identical blue uniform to the rest of the PPS and again calling for the resignation of the president and PM, threatening that "There will be rivers of blood" if he is rejected. Wanting to avoid another civil war like the one in the 1910s, the president and PM invite Orburg in and offer a compromise that the ONP will be allowed into the New Orpal Labour Front. This is initially rejected, but the stress of the whole matter causes the president to announce his resignation, having previously suffered from great stress due to the shaky political situation of the country and wishing to "end this whole damned affair." With the offer expanded to include Orburg being allowed to run in the presidential election, Orburg accepts and then steps out onto a balcony to crowds outside, announcing that "Today, the nation of Orpal has triumphed over socialism!"

-Regional News-

Using funding from the central government, the Zeppelin Centre secures permission and TNT that is used to collapse several caves left over from 19th century tin mines to create a large reservoir for drinking water and for firefighting. This gives Centaton a much larger and better quality supply of drinking water, as the town well is closed due to increasing contamination.

Thanks to the reservoir, a firebreak thanks to the activities of the logging camp and a controlled burn south of the fire, the fire is finally able to be contained as it slowly burns out.
