Alexandrian democracy is in danger - Should Redmont interfere? (old)
With the Kingdom of Alexandria facing some of the most trying times its democracy has ever encountered, the question of interference is on the table.
What happened in Alexandria?!
It is well known that the relationship between Alexandria and Redmont has been tense, to say the least. However, recent developments within the Alexandrian Parliament might make things much, much worse.
To all who aren't versed in the details: Recently, the Alexandrian Magistrate court, in an unprecedented decision has decided on suspending Alexandria’s January 26 election, following alleged vote buying and election fraud, by the leader of the “Alexandrian National Party” (ANP for short)

President Multiman155 regarding the situation
According to Redmont’s very own President (Multiman155), Alexandrian trials are lengthy - for example take the case of:” The Crown v. Stratton LLC, Emmet99, Maelzarun, Mr_GrapeJelly, Talion77, Case 11 (Mag. Ct., 2025)”, a case that has been going on since the beginning of June, and has now reached 12 pages of material, without having reached a verdict.
And though the order for Emergency Relief encouraged the parties in the trial to act as quickly as possible, it is yet unknown when the elections are going to take place.
We asked the newly appointed ambassador to Alexandria Torten Kiritsugu some questions on what should be done
After a long interview with the ambassador, in which he refused to suggest what he would do, instead answering only to the options we gave him, and this is what he said:
Diplomatic Condemnation
“At best Alexandrian's will just ignore it, and political parties will use it to influence their campaign.
Even considering condemnation, usually the Ambassador delivers messages such as those. We don't have an ambassador right now, not since October-November.”
War
“Too nuclear, over a simple election dispute?”
Of course it should be duly noted that it is not the job of a news agency to give options of possible actions against a foreign nation but alas, such went the interview.
Response from DoS Secretary A__C on what could be done
Q1: Do you believe that Alexandrian Democracy is in Danger?
A: I don’t believe that Alexandrian Democracy is in danger. Though it may take some time, Alexandria is fully capable of maintaining democracy in line with its laws.
Q2: Assuming that the Alexandrian democracy is truly in danger, should Redmont interfere?
A: Redmont will not interfere with Alexandrian affairs unless we have established treaties between the nations. We are happy to assist if legally permitted, but otherwise, we will continue with our policy of non-interference.
Closing Remarks from ThePufferOffical
“The situation in Alexandria is tense and dangerous. Without elections, the entire democratic process can't function. Redmont should do something. I'll repeat, Redmont should do something. Though I can't recommend what, I implore the President as well as the Secretary of State to not allow Alexandria to fall further in the dangerous situation they have found themselves in. Redmont should serve to act as a beacon of democracy, and as such should do all within its power to maintain democracy both at home and in other nations.”
