As polls close across Scandinavia, the people sit on the edge of their seats. Some worried that conservative control could bring a downfall to the nation, some worried the opposite. Many news platforms across the nations are projecting different things. The election is a toss-up.

We move to a newsroom in Oslo, where Niels Moller, a National icon for his announcements and projections of elections prepares the nation for the election.

He stands in front of a screen that shows a chart. The top of the chart reads Projected Winner and the side of the chart reads News Networks. The chart says:
Scandinavia Today - Alma Eriksen - 52.5%
Aftenposten - Bjorn Gulbrandsen - 55.7%
Dagens Nhyter - Bjorn Gulbrandsen - 54.5%
The Finnish Times - Runoff

Niels Moller proceeds to inform the viewers watching about the election and the possibility of a runoff, before announcing that polls will be closing in the next 5 minutes. As the clock ticks 7:00 PM the election results are announced.

All Television News cuts to the queen addressing her citizens, as is the tradition of election night. She is sitting at a chair inside the Royal Palace, a table sits next to her with a cup of water residing on top. “Ladies and Gentlemen, the 2083 General Election results are in. It is with great duty that I announce the next government of the Federation of Scandinavian States. Coming in third place, John Williams earns 12.5% of the vote. His party has earned 25 seats in the assembly and 19 seats in the senate. In second place Alma Eriksen earns 37.5% of the vote. Her party has earned 75 seats in the assembly and 56 seats in the senate. In first place, Bjorn Gulbrandsen, who earned 50% of the vote. His party earned 100 seats in the assembly and 75 seats in the senate. Scandinavian Democrats have won a majority in both chambers. May the Federation forever be strong, thank you and good night.”

An unforeseen Conservative government will be established in Scandinavia and it is uncertain what Prime Minister Gulbrandsen has in mind, but one thing that is certain is that the Social Democrats are no longer in power.

    BRIAR OFFERS CONGRATULATIONES TO GULBRANDSEN

Lady Helen Briar, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and leader of what replaced the Conservative party - the Unionist Party - in Britain, called to offer her congratulations and best wishes to the incoming Prime Minister of Scandinavia on his election victory and hoped that Britain and Scandinavia could begin to work together more closely.
