Once the South American Union Council quelled the Communist revolution on San Santiago, they took measures to make sure another similar revolution would not occur in the sector. Council investigators sought out reports of seditious activity by Communist collaborators across the sector, while Council law enforcement agencies conducted pre-dawn raids on everyone from low-level conspirators to the previous President himself. The Council wished to prove that they could bring seditious Communist conspiracies into the light no matter how hard their enemies tried to hide them. The Council would accept no revolutionary movements in their territory, and made certain everyone knew it. There would be no repeat of the San Santiago nightmare under their watch.

With the old President of San Santiago and his Communist supporters driven out of the capital, the news networks foretold a return to normalcy as the freely and fairly elected new President came into power. They gave wide reporting to his quick actions to reverse the previous President’s evil Communist policies, and broadcast his speeches throughout the sector. He promised to rebuild their trust in the government to defend San Santiago, and to be a President to all Santiagans. Except of course for the unSantiagans who aided the illegitimate President in his Communist attempt to overthrow their sacred Democracy. He promised to track those insurrectionists down and bring them to justice for their betrayal of San Santiago and the entire sector.

The President of San Santiago and his Communists conspirators did not take losing the election lying down. They actually dared to make charges of voter fraud and initiated a plan to overthrow the election. The news was quick to report that this was a free and fair election, and any charges of fraud were nothing but lies. Despite this, the President called thousands of his supporters to the capital to overturn the election. Live news reports showed them storming the capital, but the capital police killed several insurrectionists, and scattered the rest. With his last attempt to overturn the election defeated, the President fled to one of his country estates to escape justice. But the news networks were happy to report that the long planetary nightmare was over.

Election day came on San Santiago. The news had spent four years telling everybody how much of a fraud and a Communist sympathizer the illegitimate President was, so of course the good people of their planet would vote him out. But one poll after another showed that millions of citizens had gone out to vote for the man anyways. Many even dared to say that the news was wrong about his Communist leanings. He was winning in the reported counts. But the bureaucrats were prepared. They halted the counting in several key districts after people went to bed, brought boxes of votes out from under tables and counted them into the total. The next morning revealed a landslide victory for the challenger, and an end of the attempted Communist overthrow of the government.

Central Council bureaucrats imprisoned some of the new San Santiagan President’s advisors after catching them making false statements in interviews and spent years investigating the nature of their collusion with the Chinese Communist Party. The investigators had to report in time that they couldn’t find any evidence of it, but the news services reported that the President put his thumbs on the screws of the investigation to hide his true guilt. And as the capital of the San Santiago sector rolled towards the next election, Council bureaucrats were busy changing election laws throughout the planet to make it harder for the Communists to win. No patriotic Santiagan could allow that to happen, especially now that they knew how far he would go to hide his guilt.
