Description[?]:
| *RP* In the immediate aftermath of Heinrich von Aschenbach's election to President the creeping influence of the military was felt in Rutanian society. The government claimed that the increasing level of martial law was to combat instability, disorder and crime, but there was an overt political motive to the military presence - several key members of the NRU were arrested, and troops began attending Parliamentary debates. Von Aschenbach and other government ministers began wearing military uniform. The gradual militarisation of society culminated on July 23rd, 2362 - von Aschenbach submitted a bill before the Parliament described as an attempt to 'create a stronger government with the powers it needs to enforce order and stability on the Rutanian nation for the greater good'. Military officials prevented several NRU members attending the debate and protests against the measures were quickly crushed by overwhelming military force. |
