Far from the rest of the world

Life could hardly be more miserable than spending every day working and sleeping until death finally arrives. No Artanian, no Majatran, no one in this world could compare their lives to that of a peasant in Midway.

Years after the fall of the fascist dictatorship, anarchy has taken over the country. There is still no stable authority to rule the nation.

However, a month ago, representatives of Red Horizon met with the leader of New Dawn and agreed to jointly organize the first free elections in Midway since the fall of the junta. The news spread across the region, and all of Midway now prepares to enter a new era ,one in which no dictatorship will ever again be allowed to exist.

How will the elections work?

The Supreme Court of Midway will oversee the elections, as it remains the only independent institution in the country. All citizens considered natives and owning an official Midway ID card will be allowed to vote for new MPs and for a president.

At the moment, two main parties are known to be competing for first place: 民主連合 (Democratic Union) and 赤い太陽党 (Red Sun) , both left-wing parties, one more radical than the other. Descendants of the Red Horizon movement, they now seek to make their debut on the political stage, though their success remains uncertain.

The people of Midway remain fearful of the political system that once betrayed their values for power. Whoever seeks the presidency must be ready to face a living nightmare.

The country lies in ruins.
The banking system has failed to function properly for many years and every faction that tried to take control collapsed under the crisis. As a result, Midway has been left in the hands of weak regional administrations that barely survived the political crisis.

It is still unclear whether Midway will overcome what many citizens now call the “New age crisis.”
With no stable government economy, governing the nation will be a difficult task for any future leader
