Project: Kalșeri
Votes cast: 19,817,709
Turnout: 96.5%
Summary: The 2019 Kalșerian presidential election was the 49th presidential election held in Kalșeri. It took place on September 20, 2019. Incumbent President and Social Cooperationist candidate Maksimilianus Ureska was re-elected in the second round, defeating former President and Liberal Democrat candidate Alejandra Ríos Soriano with almost two-thirds of the second-round preferences.
The election also saw the best performance in the polls by the Libertarian Party so far, reaching 22.9% of the preferences and overtaking Kalșerians for Change as the third-most voted party. The Movement for Action received just over 4% of the preferences, while Șin Seri and the Workers' Party of Urgel failed to reach 1%.
Traditionally, the incumbent President would face token opposition from fellow party members, and the nomination process would be a formality; however, this was not the case within the Social Cooperation Party, as he had to face nine candidates at the early stages of the primaries, including moderate party member Senator for Lág Tony DeLuca, who had criticized Ureska's measures as "excessive and ham-fisted". Other candidates included Party President Aleksandrus Șáșnegi and former Senator for Tigupoke Charlie Gilchrist.
All major broadcasting networks in Kalșeri set up live broadcastings of the results of the various elections taking place throughout the country, including those of the Senate. Alejandra Ríos Soriano conceded in the night of September 21, during the count of the second-round votes, and denied rumors of a possible recount demand. Maksimilianus Ureska was sworn in for his second term on October 15. (more...)

The Continental Dollar known officially as the United Commonwealth dollar (symbol: Ȼ; code: UCD also abbreviated UCȻ) is the official legal tender of the United Commonwealth. In 1919 partisan forces of the Continentalist Party seized nearly 4,500 metric tons of gold reserves belonging to the Federal Reserve during a series of heists. It was the largest seizure of wealth in recorded history and dismantled the Federalist dollar, sending the global economy into a financial panic and finally a recession. Continental forces quickly attempted to alleviate the fears of international trading partners, printing a new series of tender that would act as a temporary promissory for the gold. With the death of Aeneas Warren the nation began refusing to return gold reserves to adversarial nations and former businessmen. In 1925 the currency was officially transitioned into a labour voucher and in 1948 the tender was turned to a fiat note.
The five dollar bill (shown above) depicts the Chicago skyline on its obverse and on its reverse Isaiah Landon. Because of its unique style, rejection of European style security features and color patterns it is highly sought after by collectors. Zhou Xinyue, depicted on the ten dollar note, was the first Asian-American to be depicted on legal tender in North America.
