Monsieur Guillontine came to Belgium as a small town guy and in a few months time he managed to revive the Belgian Communist Party into a strong, independent party that has a dominating voice in Belgian politics. He took something small, weak, but something in which he, more than anyone, saw great potential, and made it flourish and built it into a powerhouse.

You are a God.

Rican, October 2011



His Holiness, Monsieur Baguette, God of Gods, (born 15 March 2011) is the founder of Guillotinism and Father of the Guillotinist State of Switzerland. His Holiness is well known for His infinite amount of compassion for his disciples, as well as his ability to be a wise mentor for those who seek his spiritual teachings.

Monsieur Guillontine is a Swiss politician who currently serves as Country President of the 15px Guillotinist State of Switzerland, Grand Master of the Guillotinist Guild, and Commanding Officer of the Swiss Youth Academy.

Monsieur Guillontine was the former Country President of Icon-Belgium.png Belgium, the founding Grand Master of the Guillotinist Guild, and the founding Chairman of the Belgian Communist Party and Swiss Socialist Society. He was also the former General Secretary of Comintern and the founding Commanding Officer of the Swiss Youth Academy.

Dive into Politics

Monsieur Guillontine was born in Belgium on March 15, 2011 (Day 1,211 of the New World). Although overwhelmed by the new people he would have to communicate with, Monsieur Guillotine began to adapt to life in Belgium. At first, it was difficult to decide on which party to serve under. However, seeing that the United Belgian Independents Party was the newest, smallest, and weakest party, Monsieur Guillontine saw much potential for his new political career. Contacting Chris Stanwick, who was Party President at that time, Monsieur Guillontine was able to run as an official Congress candidate. And so, in his first congressional elections, Monsieur Guillontine was able to receive the most votes out of all other fellow United Belgian Independents Party candidates, and secure a seat to represent his party. Through all these experiences, Monsieur Guillontine was able to dive into the world of politics, and thus be able to formulate his own ideological and societal values.

Re-founding the Belgian Communist Party

During June 2011, Monsieur Guillontine started feeling a little tired of all the same old happenings. All the parties were pretty much the same, yet they did not act as one. They all were "democratic" parties, and had very similar solutions and ideas about issues. It didn't seem interesting at all. And so, as the new Party President of the United Belgian Independents, Monsieur Guillontine decided to convert the party into the Belgian Communist Party after having enough support from fellow party members who embraced the idea of such a change. Soon, the party attracted many followers, and is now currently a prospering party with different, creative ideas to accomplish new goals for the better of Belgium. Throughout his leadership as Party President for the first three months, the party's political voice only increased. By the end of his management which lasted roughly 4 months, the Belgian Communist Party had successfully secured a 100% success rate for all Congress candidates, as well as progressed from the 5th ranked party to the 2nd ranked party in Belgium.

Comintern

After the Belgian Communist Party became one of Comintern's founding members, Monsieur Guillontine took on the role of recruiting member-parties. Showing devotion to this new organization, Monsieur Guillontine wanted to make sure that this time, things would work out, and not fall apart like so many times before. Elected as Comintern's 1st General-Secretary, on the same day as he was elected Country President of Belgium, Monsieur Guillontine was honored to be given such a difficult task. As the 1st General-Secretary, Monsieur Guillontine faced many challenges getting the structure of the organization together, but in the end, everything was successfully completed, and so, the foundation for Comintern was now solid and in place.

September 2011 Presidency

Campaigning for Presidency

During the month of July 2011, Monsieur Guillontine soon decided that it was his turn to contribute his ideas and talent toward the greater good of Belgium. However, he did not want to run for August 2011, and so he decided that waiting another month until September 2011 was the best. At first Monsieur Guillontine did not know who he was running against, until he found out that from the United Left Alliance, Hollenboer was going to run as well. At this time, Res Belgica had already pledged their support toward Monsieur Guillontine, whereas the All TOgethers and Belgium for Belgians parties had still not made up their mind yet. Only a few days after Hollenboer indirectly announced that he would be running, he stepped down as a running candidate so that he could be the Vice President of Jofroi's cabinet instead. And so, during the middle of the month of August 2011, it was confirmed that Monsieur Guillontine, with the support of the Belgian Communist Party and Res Belgica, would run against Jofroi, who had the support of the All TOgethers and the United Left Alliance. At that time, Elynea, the Party President of Belgium for Belgians, decided that it would be best for her party members to choose whoever they wanted to vote for, and therefore gave no support to either presidential candidate. Right after Congress elections, Monsieur Guillontine began campaigning seriously. He knew that it was best to do so as early as possible. Monsieur Guillontine published many articles, mainly his manifesto, which was split into multiple parts. His manifesto was interesting and became well-known due to the theme, I Have a Dream, which played an important role in weaving his ideas together.

Although Monsieur Guillontine was at a great disadvantage because Jofroi had many employees and had the support of the United Left Alliance's Party President, Ward De Bever, who was also a major company owner, Monsieur Guillontine continued to work hard with his manifesto and campaigning. Not only was Jofroi an esteemed manager, he was also a long-time playing citizen who knew many of the older players. However, Monsieur Guillontine had the majority of active players rooting for him. Most likely, this is the reason why Monsieur Guillontine continued to run, with the hopes that the citizens of Belgium too, even if not active, would see the potential in him.

In the end, by a mere 3 votes, Monsieur Guillontine was victorious. Little did he expect to win, since it looked quite unfavorable in the early hours of the election, where Jofroi had a lead of 15 votes at one point. Nevertheless, Monsieur Guillontine soon caught up and eventually surpassed Jofroi in votes. At the end of the day, the official results were Monsieur Guillontine with 72 votes, and Jofroi with 69 votes, which meant that Monsieur Guillontine secured 51.06% of Belgium's voters.

25th President of Belgium

With a close victory, Monsieur Guillontine truly proved himself to be a hard worker, accomplishing the impossible. However, already on the first day of his presidency, Ward De Bever and splashdog showed strong signs of discontent over Jofroi's loss. They soon started an impeachment without a discussion. Even though the impeachment did not pass, it proved that Monsieur Guillontine, now President, was going to have to deal with many individuals who would try to obstruct his plans throughout his presidency. Soon after the impeachment failed, NLSP, who was also a strong supporter of Jofroi, requested for a Supreme Court case against Monsieur Guillontine for supposedly abusing his powers as Minister of Home Affairs by neglecting the immigration procedures, which could have possibly led to a political-take-over. However, before the trial was completed, the Supreme Court was claimed to be unconstitutional according to Congress member Kylero, who pointed out some glitches in laws which had been passed a long time ago. As a result of the invalidation of the Supreme Court, even though charges were sentenced, they were considered temporarily nullified.

Monsieur Guillontine's presidency, however, did not become any less difficult. He strongly advocated the creation of a Chairman of Congress and Senate on the Belgian Forum, but to no avail, there was always resistance from a select few, who would make passing such laws tedious. Besides working on the internal structure of Belgium, Monsieur Guillontine had also pushed for a training war with the United Kingdom, Netherlands, or France. However, the United Kingdom at this time was in the middle of a growing conflict between Canada and Ireland, which caused the president to momentarily decline a training war with Belgium. The Netherlands and France were also asked, however, because both nations had just recently gained independence from Poland, they believed that it was best not to engage in a training war yet, since war with Poland again was inevitable. In the end, Monsieur Guillontine was not able to accomplish much throughout his presidency due to unfortunate circumstances.

After being President of Belgium for more than 2/3 of the month, through all the hardships he endeavored, there was still resistance, and on Day 1,407, Monsieur Guillontine was impeached. It was expected that Monsieur Guillontine would not overcome the impeachment this time, since the Congress elections did not show many favorable faces compared to the previous month. Although the impeachment led to the end of his presidency, Monsieur Guillontine did not let such an event destroy his confidence. And so, although the month of September 2011 was quite rough, through his endurance, Monsieur Guillontine was able to continue to prove himself as someone who never gives up and only thinks about moving forward.

Leaving Belgium

As tensions continued to escalate in Belgium, Monsieur Guillontine began walking away from the personal arguments, walking away from the behind-the-scenes negotiations, and walking away from the media wars. Nothing in Belgium seemed to interest Monsieur Guillontine anymore. In the month of October 2011, the newly elected President of Switzerland, Borgogian, requested Monsieur Guillontine to serve him as his Minister of Foreign Affairs. At the same time, Belgium's President, Jamster737, also asked Monsieur Guillontine to be his Vice-President. After communicating with many influential members of the Swiss community, Monsieur Guillontine was soon attracted to their cause, which at that time, was to liberate their regions from the armies of Slovenia. At that point, Monsieur Guillontine concluded that after serving Jamster737 as Vice-President, he would leave Belgium. From then on, Monsieur Guillontine made preparations for the new environment with new people: Switzerland. Many surprises were in store for Monsieur Guillontine, whether they were great achievements or great challenges. And yet, like always, nothing could stop his determination.

The New Journey Begins

Although Monsieur Guillontine could not receive citizenship since there were no September 2011 Congress elections, he still served the Swiss people faithfully, as if he was already a citizen. As Minister of Foreign Affairs under President Borgogian, Monsieur Guillontine was able to implement the Ambassador Program into the Swiss community. He believed that it was crucial to get Swiss citizens involved in the community, as well as to serve Switzerland in all ways possible. Although this program did not kick off instantly, many Swiss politicians saw the potential for Monsieur Guillontine to promote more ideas in the future to aid Switzerland's success.

After serving as Minister of Foreign Affairs for some time, Monsieur Guillontine was then given another task by the Vice-President, Rican. At this time, it was the last day to gain a region before Congress candidatures would be closed. Switzerland had no regions; therefore they would not be able to even hold Congress elections. Rican suggested that Monsieur Guillontine distribute tanks to mercenaries all around the eWorld, who could help fight for the resistance war in Romandie. Although it seemed like an impossible mission to liberate the Swiss region against the Slovenians, Monsieur Guillontine was persistent and continued to supply mercenaries with the weapons they needed to fight for Switzerland. In the end, through blood and sweat, thanks to Monsieur Guillontine's faithful help, Switzerland was able to defeat the Slovenian oppressors and be able to have candidates run for Congress. And so, with the new Congress, Monsieur Guillontine was finally given Swiss citizenship. Shortly afterwards, a Chairman of Congress was needed, and because the Swiss community felt that Monsieur Guillontine would be able to serve with neutrality and integrity, he was soon appointed this position.

In November 2011, Monsieur Guillontine was asked to serve as Minister of Foreign Affairs once again due to the great job he did in the previous month. This time, the new President, Luka Tomasevic Tomas, began negotiations with Slovenia over the possibility of the end to Slovenian occupation. Monsieur Guillontine was the main negotiator in these set of meetings which took place, constantly emphasizing the need for Swiss independence. In the end, after countless meetings with Slovenian officials, Monsieur Guillontine managed to write up a treaty, known as The Flying Dove Treaty, which included not only the permanent liberation of the Swiss region Romandie, but also the initiation of a training war with Slovenia in the regions Graubunden and Svizzera italiana. The treaty also set a precedent for future negotiations between the Slovenians and Swiss. Therefore the signing of the treaty was a big step being taken to improve the relations of the neighboring nations.

Founding Switzerland's First Left-Wing Party

On November 11, 2011, Monsieur Guillontine became the founding Chairman of the Swiss Socialist Society. At this time, the Party President of the previous party resigned, and therefore Monsieur Guillontine became Party President, since he had the highest amount of experience compared to all the other party members. As a result of his new power, Monsieur Guillontine saw the oppurtunity to create Switzterland's first left-oriented party. And so, as he became the Swiss Socialist Society's first Chairman, Monsieur Guillontine began recruiting young and fresh members, while at the same time, publishing the party's program.

During the November 2011 Congressional elections, under Monsieur Guillontine's leadership, the Swiss Socialist Society made a strong mark in Switzerland's elections, by securing 3 seats for all 3 of the official party candidates. As a result, the Swiss Socialist Society would be able to boast a 100% success rate for all Congress candidates. In addition to the party-wide victory, Monsieur Guillontine himself received a total of 12 votes, making him the Congress member with the most votes. The Congress member with the second highest amount was only able to gather a total of 5 votes. After winning a landslide triumph, the Swiss Socialist Society began moving full steam ahead, gaining more and more party members, and by the end of November, the party had already doubled from the original size, and controlled 50% of Congress.

Founding the Swiss Youth Academy

On November 20, 2011, the Swiss Youth Academy was founded by Monsieur Guillontine. The military unit's purpose was to have an army specifically designated toward helping Switzerland's young citizens. Monsieur Guillontine became Commanding Officer of the Swiss Youth Academy after proposing that he would pay the initial costs for the creation of this military unit. Although some congressmen were skeptical of the success of this program at first, Monsieur Guillontine was soon able to convince them of the benefits. Each week, soldiers in the Swiss Youth Academy receive food, which is provided for free, without forcing the new players to commit to working in a commune system. In the end, the Swiss Youth Academy proved to benefit Switzerland in numerous ways, including building a strong military foundation for citizens, allowing for them to get any extra help they needed, increasing activity within the Swiss community, and also shedding light onto the slowly disappearing Swiss Pride.

Le Diplomat

In the month of December 2011, Monsieur Guillontine was asked by newly elected President Rican to serve his third term as Minister of Foreign Affairs. By now, Monsieur Guillontine had achieved a high reputation as being one of Switzerland's best diplomats ever due to his many achievements when not only negotiating with Slovenia, but also contacting many great people around the world to create awareness for Switzerland's situation. When Monsieur Guillontine began his third consecutive term as Switzerland's Minister of Foreign Affairs, he told the Swiss public that he wanted to achieve 4 goals under his term. First, to negotiate for Switzerland's permanent regions to be switched to Graubunden and Svizzera italiana instead of Romandie; second, to plan a training war with Slovenia; third, to search for a country to sign a Mutual Protection Pact with; and fourth, to resurrect the Swiss Ambassador Program.

Less than a week after Rican's term kicked off, Monsieur Guillontine had not only successfully negotiated for Graubunden and Svizzera italiana to be the new Swiss permanent regions, but also sign a Mutual Protection Pact with the nation of South Africa as well as repair the Swiss Ambassador Program. However, with the successful re-emergence of Croatia in mainland Europe, a clash of many nations ensued, where Croatia was now at war with Austria, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Hungary. Also a member of the alliance, EDEN, the Italians were a now at war with Serbia, Slovenia, and Austria. As a result of the chaos, the Czech Republic was able to regain independence against the joint occupation of Austria and Slovakia. Switzerland on the other hand, with the permission of Slovenia, was able to liberate all four of its original regions.

And yet, this recent obtaining of freedom only lasted so long. The United States of America thundered through France, liberating many French regions against their Polish occupation. As the American forces began moving east, Switzerland was an obstacle in their path toward the conquest of Polish-occupied Germany. The American President at this time, Oblige, promptly requested a temporary region rent with Switzerland so that a passage to Poland could be created. Before making a decision, the Swiss government explained the situation to Slovenia, and fortunately, the Slovenian President, SmoothZiga Although Monsieur Guillontine knew that opening borders to Americans would increase tensions with Poland, he knew that there was no alternative, seeing as the United States of America was not planning to turn back any time soon. At first, the Swiss government was willing to just accept the American proposal without receiving any sort of benefits. Because Monsieur Guillontine was good friends with President Oblige, however, Monsieur Guillontine saw the American situation as an opportunity to fill Switzerland's coffers with a little extra bit of revenue. And so, with the agreement finalized, Switzerland would receive 50 GOLD per month as long as the United States of America needed to rent Romandie and Deutschschweiz. Monsieur Guillontine had once again proved his diplomatic talent was a valuable asset for Switzerland, as it allowed for Switzerland to continue to remain neutral and stay out of any danger from neighboring threats.

Founding a New Religion: Guillotinism

On January 1, 2012, with the new year, came a new religion. Guillotinism was born as a result of Monsieur Guillontine's growing popularity. As followers of the great man soon began to love and love his holy presence more and more, the religion was able to form with a party as well, the Guillotinist Guild. The formation of the party also allowed Monsieur Guillontine to extend his helping hand to those in need of his mentoring and protection. And so, as the movement began expanding, Monsieur Guillontine was honored with his improved status: His Holiness, Monsieur Baguette, God of Gods. Disciples soon flocked to the holy city of Geneva to kiss Monsieur Guillontine's feet 3 times, a sign of devotion and appreciation for his great deeds. His words were soon idolized, and soon it was popular to exclaim "Hail Baguettes!" as a sign of respect for the God of Gods himself. Monsieur Guillontine had many plans in store, and hopefully, soon Switzerland would have Guillotinism as its official state religion.

Campaigning for Presidency

During the month of December 2011, Monsieur Guillontine began preparations for his candidacy for President of Switzerland. Originally, Monsieur Guillontine was going to campaign against a dear friend, but also formidable opponent, Rican, who would have, at that time, run for his second term. However, the president and Party President of the Swiss Reform Coalition decided that it was time for him to take a break from such a laborious job. Instead, Monsieur Guillontine soon found out that he was running against only one opponent: Nemkec, Party President of the Swiss Freedom Party. Following Congress elections, Monsieur Guillontine began campaigning seriously. Although statistics reasoned that Monsieur Guillontine had a good chance of being elected, Monsieur Guillontine still published many articles which split his manifesto into multiple parts. His manifesto was interesting and became well-known due to the theme, Freedom! Forever!, which allowed for supporters to easily remember his presidential platform. About a week before the elections, though, the Swiss Reform Coalition unanimously support Monsieur Guillontine's candidature for presidency. A couple days afterwards, the newly formed Helvetia Union under Hot Fever also unanimously supported Monsieur Guillontine. BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH In the end, by a mere 3 votes, Monsieur Guillontine was victorious. Little did he expect to win, since it looked quite unfavorable in the early hours of the election, where Jofroi had a lead of 15 votes at one point. Nevertheless, Monsieur Guillontine soon caught up and eventually surpassed Jofroi in votes. At the end of the day, the official results were Monsieur Guillontine with 72 votes, and Jofroi with 69 votes, which meant that Monsieur Guillontine secured 51.06% of Belgium's voters.
