Tour de Politik



The Tour de Politik was a massive multi-planet political tour undertaken by Emperor Kuzon Jr. of the Great Empire between July 1105 to June 1106. Following the Universal Supertour, it was to be the first in a series of space tours to organize and promote the Universal Democracy Expansion Program (UDEP), which would in turn expand the young Great Empire. With 100 stops, it was a great success and met with critical acclaim, supplemented with the release of a live album of speeches by not only KJ but a variety of other spokesmen for democracy's spread throughout space. It was thus followed by Tour de Politik II.

Overview
With the conclusion of the Herulean War in 1101, the universe was in a state of panic and a struggle for interdependence. A massive restoration effort took place over four years. Prior to the war, Kuzon Jr set the foundations for a revolutionary movement to spread democracy in various forms universe-wide. Now, he would jump at the opportunity. It was on 15 June 1105 that KJ would announce the tour to the empire, in which he would be travelling to major planets or 'sweet spots' to speak with leaders and the people to get a good idea of what they really want, ideas, create trade agreements--all of which would be done by becoming a part of the Great Empire (which was essentially a giant alliance). KJ believed if it worked it would gradually overhaul the entire system and help to remove millions of planets from poverty and impoverishment, all done while instating democratic governments on them. It would require work, time, and competence. KJ would assume his duties as King and Emperor while on tour, with his Chancellor Ocarin standing in as acting King and Emperor on Earth.

All done according to plan, the tour was an enormous success, grossed loads of funds to help pay for both old and new infrastructure among other things, and most importantly secured the spread of influence and awareness throughout primarily the North Quadrant of the universe. But this was just the beginning.
