The 1st New Zealand Dictatorship was a regime that was imposed upon New Zealand in early 2015 after a period of relative decline and stagnation in the nation. It retained a hold on the country for nearly 6 months till it was overthrown in the 2015 New Zealand Democratic Revolution.

History

Attributes

The NZ Dictatorship operated within the confines of the eRepublik game mechanics. They did not impose their authority upon the citizens but sought to retain some form of government that included all the different groups within NZ. It was a calculated move that had been intentionally designed to ensure a little disruption took place to NZ as possible.

The regime operated with the following characteristics and positions

Dictator

This position was at the top of the regime and held all the power. Whoever held the position had the ability to pass whatever laws they saw fit, declare war, initiate mutual protection pacts and pass any budget that was seen fit. It was at the peak of the regime and the final source of authority. However, under the NZ Dictatorship it merely sought to pass those laws approved by the Cabinet which still existed and operated. The position was largely designed to ensure that decisions were made in a quick and easy process. It also ensured that NZ avoided the civil wars which plagued other nations as the strongest military units backed the Dictatorship.

Country President & Cabinet

The position of Country President and the Cabinet still existed. Elections were held but they remained meaningless as final authority rested with the Dictator. However, the position was held by the more politically active members of NZ and it allowed citizens from different segments of society to take part in the regime. It also provided a veneer of democracy as the Dictator typically followed the advice of Cabinet and the Country President. Reserving the use of its authority only when it was deemed in the nations best interests.

Congress

Like the Country President, the Congress lost its full authority with the imposition of the Dictatorship. Elections still took place and candidates took office but they were not awarded gold and had no authority to pass laws or protection pacts. As was the case during this time period, the regimes supporting parties (UIS, SPNZ, BPNZ) typically won a majority, ensuring any opposition was muted in the still recognized Congress.

Regions

Due to the small population of NZ, the Dictatorship adopted the policy of "renting regions" and it effectively sought to merely hold control over one of the 4 original regions. Nations like Australia, Peru and Chile all signed rental agreements with the regime in order to widen their population. These agreements allowed for resistance wars and constant combat between the two sides to ensure their citizens gained military experience. It became a hallmark of the Dictatorship policy that NZ only one region at any time and rented the rest.


This system operated without interruption and effectively a small cable of figures within NZ ran the country. Due to the lack of democracy few citizens had the ability to influence the incumbent regime. This led to the growth of stagnation in the nation, many citizens simply left the country while others accepted that little change would come under the circumstances. At the same

Dictators

Supporters

The NZ Dictatorship had broad support when it was first imposed upon the nation but it managed to draw its support from a specific segment of the political and military sectors of the country. In this case, the Serbian Kiwi community and a segment of the English speaking. The Slovenian and a larger segment of the English speaking did not support the regime.

Political Party Supporters

Military Unit Supporters

It should also be noted that a segment of the New Zealand Defence Forces also supported the Dictatorship which caused division among its ranks. The Serbian members supported the regime as did some English speaking elements but there was a large segment which did not support the creation of the regime.

Opponents

The Dictatorship was not universally supported in NZ and a significant minority did not support the new regime. It was made up of members of the English speaking community and the remaining figures from the Slovenian community. These two groups did not support the takeover but a segment of the English Speaking community did, thereby dividing it and preventing a uniformed opposition from taking shape.

Opposition Parties

While the Maori Party was openly opposed to the regime, the PnPP membership was split on its attitude towards it. This prevented the leadership from actively taking a stance against it and some of its most veteran membership actively supported its imposition. The failure by the PnPP to take a direct stance was one of the biggest faults within the opposition and prevented a coherent response from being developed. It undermined many citizens faith in the alternative and only further solidified the regime.
