https://discord.gg/AhJs6sN Heyyyyy a discord thingamajig.

You take your seat in the over-crowded public forum that serves as the meeting place for the Judean Workers Council. Today marks the 18th anniversary of the great Cheshvan Revolution that brought about the People's Republic of Judea, whose government you belong to. The sun is in the sky, and the crisp autumn air keeps cool the forum which is normally stifling with the heat of a thousand bodies. At the bottom of the forum steps you can see two of the Executive Cabinet members milling about talking with other representatives. Council Secretary Vaitke Lyamid, leader of the FJP, and Commissar Ioseb Schtalen, leader of the PJF. No doubt bickering over political doctrine.

Scanning the forum for the other Cabinet members you see the Tsenpo Meu, the Tibetan guerrilla who finally defeated the wretched Zadokites and leader of the JPF, speaking with his protege General Nestor Guvarius.

But where was the rest of the cabinet? You lean over to whisper in the Minister of Natural Philosophy Maximus Fronsius' ear "Where is everyone?". "Who cares, government is a shedim." You should have known better than to try to get any answer from him.

Finally you hear the murmuring of the gathered throng cease as Shoshanna Vered, the recently appointed Propagandist, hurries onto the forum's stage looking rather worried for second before transforming her face into a manic grin.

"Isn't our Republic great!!!!" she yells to begin her speech. You and all the other representatives (except Fronsius) burst out in somewhat forced applause. "On this, the anniversary of our Nations great rebirth, we'd like to thank all of our dear representatives who make this Nation great for keeping the spirit of the revolution alive. And here to deliver the keynote speech of todays session is our beloved Chairman, Kariel Marachai!" The applause is authentic this time, threatening to deafen all inside the forum. The Chairman hadn't been seen in over a year, and the near mythical Father of the Revolution was beloved by all.

On one side of the stage you see his hunched and aged form being lead into the hall, half carried by Kephas Kropotzim and Michael Bakhunim, two more members of the cabinet. Marachai had been considered venerable when the Revolution started, so this was nothing shocking, but your heart aches to see your beloved Chairman so bowed by age.

Marachai takes the stage and straightens his back slightly, and a hush falls over the forum as the audience straits to hear the Chairman's words:

quote:

Elohim created rich people first.... and then showed then the world they would own. And when they came to a field with thousands of headless bodies with torsos and hands like iron, Elohim told them the headless bodies were destined to be poor slaves. The rich cried out, "But these heroes with their iron muscles will crush us." "Don't be frightened," answered Elohim. "I shall place very small heads and brains on their bodies so until they develop them you've nothing to fear."
That is why, all those years ago, I decided to begin educating the slaves of our great city. The wealthy could only maintain their power over the masses so long as they maintained a monopoly on education and political representation. I have tried my hardest to ensure that these three things would be available to all. But i fear that my time is ending.
Shocked whispers ran through the crowd. So the rumors were true! Marachai was going to name a successor.

quote:

My revolution is still young and vulnerable. It needs a shepard to guide it forward through the the future. For this reason I name as new Chairman my trusted ward, Levi.
Marachai gestured to an empty stool. Confusion reigned in the forum. Surely Marachai could not be referring to the Great Enemy of Judea? The Adversary of the Revolution who had fled like a coward to Samaria rather than face justice for betraying his mentor Marachai? Who even now was plotting to return the Zadokites to power?

quote:

Where is he? Where is Levi Trodzkiel? I do so miss him...

The cry first came from Farhadak Melekid, Marachai's oldest friend and trusted ally and founder of the JPPF.

But soon the cry was taken up by more and more representatives. "Splitter!!!" They screamed. "SPLITTER!!!" Soon you yourself are braying the word as Marachai is dragged off stage by Vered and the Minister of Health, Phido Carthago.

Later that night you meet at your party headquarters as the forum still burns from the riot earlier that day. The cabinet had released a memo finally admitting what people had been whispering for years. Marachai had dementia, and was not long for this world.

Hi splitters! Welcome to "The People's Republic of Judea", a Lets Play of Paradox Interactive's Imperator:Rome!
In this Let's Play YOU are in charge, by which I mean I am in charge but sometimes will hold referendums on actions that you proles get to vote in. The various parties of the People's Republic of Judea will have leaders who will encourage members of their party to vote in a certain way. RP(tm) and Narrative(tm) will both play large part in how this Let's Play will unfold, and MinMaxing and Efficient Play are heavily discouraged.

The Situation:

This is the world of 304 BCE. That landlocked blue dot is our glorious People's Republic, where even Slaves PROLES have rights and can vote. To our immediate north is the breakaway dictatorship of the perfidious Levi Trodzkiel, our hated enemy who fled in disgrace after criticizing our states "bourgeoisie democratic structure". To our west is the frighteningly powerful Incest Kingdom of Egypt. To our east across the desert is the Seleukid Empire which is sure to reign a thousand years. The big rear end yellow blob that surrounds us is the kingdom of the Macedonian Cyclops Antigonus. We're technically his subject, although nobody has bothered to check on "those stupid monotheists" in a couple decades now. But Ioseb insists that Antigonus and Levi are plotting to return the Zadokites to their throne in Jerusalem.

Which brings us to our first vote: Should we cancel our tribute to the tyrannical one eyed capitalist-king and his SPLITTER toady?
Everyone pick a party and remember to consult your Party Lines:
JPF- Cancel
PFJ- Cancel
FJP- Cancel
PJF- Cancel
JPPF- Cancel and Send Insults

I would like my membership in the FJP to be known, and, with due respect to the party line, I should like to abstain from voting until the serious allegations of Ioseb with regards to the purported Hasmonean plot can be verified. No need for haste in such a severe matter. After all, Antigonous has turned a blind eye to us so far.

Brothers, sisters, for too long we have languished in the shadow of our Phrygian overlords! Just as we have broken the chains that bound us to our masters, we as a Glorious Revolutionary Republic must break the chains that bind us to hated Antigonus! As a member of the PFJ I beseech you! CANCEL the humilliating payments to the macedonian elites and work towards exporting the revolution to the proles under them
