1808-1810 Random Events

Give Major Speech: That's the style! Just the kind of speech to put a candidacy over the edge. @CalFaction Leader David Hough gains +1 in his next election.

Judicial Influence:  The more a justice learns about interpreting federal law, the more they often evolve from their philosophies they learned from service in a lower court. RedCPU can alter the ideology of one SC judge without integrity to move one towards their faction leader's ideology.

On Fire and Inspiring: We might have found a future star within our party and our faction. Mordecai Bartley was expected to give just a routine political appearance at our event, but Mordecai Bartley really fired up that crowd!  RedCPU Mordecai Bartley gains charismatic.

Eager Followers: It appears your leadership over our faction is having its positive effect. It's been reported within the last month that William H Wells, Artemis Ward Jr., and Charles Lee have adopted your hand gestures, your lingo, and have even attempt to style themselves similar to the way that you do. They're liking to follow you wherever you go. @CalWilliam H Wells, Artemis Ward Jr, and Charles Lee gain Lackey.

Tired of all the fighting:  Looks like Winthrop Sargent is tired of partisanship, even in a great cause. Winthrop Sargent has been seen joking around with other factions--and even the other party--more often. Winthrop Sargent 's staff tells us that he wants to bring the country together. RedCPU Winthrop Sargent gains harmonious.

1808-1810 Scripted Events

Great Britain Becomes the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland: The Act of Union has been passed by the British and Irish Parliament, formally creating the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

Indian Sovereignty: Representatives from nearly all the major tribes West of the Appalachians and East of the Mississippi have forged an Indian Sovereignty Confederation with the goal of representing their collective rights in a loose Confederation that is mutually defensive against Europeans encroaching on their rights. These leaders argue that they are only ensuring the boundaries that have already been settled upon between our nation and the various tribes. However, expansionists and pro-settlement politicians believe that recognizing their sovereignty on this scale will permanently cut us off from the lucrative lands in the West and would potentially prevent us from becoming a competing power on the international scene.

President Osgood @ConservativeElector2can either 

a) Grant Indian Sovereignty or 

b) Ridiculous! Refuse the suggestion

Regency Begins in the UK as King George III is Declared Insane:  Our former monarch, who has recently been slipping in and out of madness, has now officially been declared insane. The Parliament has named his son, Prince George, as regent of the United Kingdom. There are rumors that the son is profligate, possibly more likely to be impulsive. Politically, he is expected to be more liberal than his more conservative father.

Economic Panic (Panic of 1819 1808): A cocktail of financial incompetence's, mostly in the private sector, have thrown the economy into a panic.  Economic Stability -1 (now at recession).

President Osgood can either:

a) Ask the bank to intervene in the Panic

b) It is not the job of the federal government to intervene
