Thank you for playing 2020 Lithuania!
This is a scenario that seeks to simulate the 2020 Lithuanian parliamentary election, the most recent parliamentary election in Lithuania. Lithuania is my home country, and I had considered a scenario set in one of our elections for a while. However, I was held back, first by our complex electoral system (that is still inaccurate in this mod - it assumes that proportional and constituency votes are the same, when in fact there's a lot of split-ticket voting), and second by worry that our political system, topics and questions would be too obscure for anyone to be interested to play this. Yet, if you are reading this, it seems I succeeded! Feel free to ping me on the TCT server or message me with thoughts or feedback on this mod!
If you liked this mod, then make sure to also try my other scenario on the loader - 1993: Post-Communist USA (or, if you already played it, perhaps you noticed the allusions in some of the questions 😉). Also, give a look to my other scenario, that is not on the loader - 1930 Weimar - which deals with a heavier topic, namely the rise of National Socialism in Weimar Germany.

Where are they now?
So what is the historical result? Who actually won, and what happened to all the characters you can play as?
The election: An intense race that started as a seemingly inevitable TS-LKD victory and ended up a nail-biter due to LVŽS recovering in the polls. Still, it was won by the 'Right'. A coalition of TS-LKD, LRLS and Freedom (so Conservatives and Liberals) was formed and remains the incumbent government.
The Šimonytė Cabinet: Immediately after the election, quarantine was imposed, causing wide controversy. Same-sex partnership law was proposed in the Seimas several times, but has (as of time of writing, September 2023) failed every single time due to opposition from TS-LKD's 'Christian Democrat' wing. The same happened to attempts to decriminalize marijuana. As a result, tensions between TS-LKD and Freedom have mounted and internal conflicts happen almost daily.
The government's pro-LGBT stance was answered by the formation of a wide anti-LGBT, anti-vaccination and anti-'Right' movement, the Lithuanian Family Movement, which organizes protests and has splintered into several political parties.
Gabrielius Landsbergis: After the election, he was appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs. Under his leadership, Lithuania challenged China over the Taiwan question, leading to a conflict that became international news, and it also became a vanguard of pro-Ukrainian policy in NATO during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. However, his popularity has plummeted and it is believed that he intends to resign from his party's leadership sometime before or after 2024.
Ramūnas Karbauskis: After losing the election, he resigned from his parliamentary seat in protest, turned sharply towards anti-LGBT rhetoric and pulled out of the National Agreement on Defense in 2022. His party split - Saulius Skvernelis left in 2021 and established the 'Union of Democrats', a party which intends to be a more moderate continuation of LVŽS' 'statist' economic policy.
Gintautas Paluckas: After losing the election, he resigned as chairman in early 2021. A leadership race took place between Juozas Olekas, the candidate of the conservative wing, and Vilija Blinkevičiūtė - the latter won, and she is the incumbent chairman. She retained some of Paluckas' reform (Gudžinskas is one of her vice-chairpeople), but is considered more in the party centre. Under her leadership, thanks to her personal popularity, the party regained its popularity and is now first in the polls. It is widely believed that the Social Democrats will win the 2024 election.
Plaque of Jonas Noreika: It's still there.
Statue to Petras Cvirka: Removed in 2021.
The electoral threshold: The LVŽS attempted to lower it to 3% and received a presidential veto. They failed to overturn the veto by one vote. It is currently still at 5%.
The National Development Bank: More or less forgotten, even by the LVŽS itself, even though it was their big agenda in 2020.
Non-Lithuanian letters in documents: The language war was finally finished by the Šimonytė Cabinet. Non-Lithuanian letters in documents have been legalized and society has basically forgotten the question, it is no longer on the agenda.

It was traditionally supported by loyal urban voters, former deportees, religious voters and nationalists - however, since 2015, when Gabrielius Landsbergis was elected chairman, it began to pivot towards young liberal voters in Vilnius.
The TS-LKD received the largest amount of votes in 2016, but lost to LVŽS in single-member constituencies and was forced into opposition. Antagonism between the two parties has increasingly turned this election into a two-way race between pro-Western urban liberalism and pragmatic ruralism. Can the TS-LKD avoid the mistakes of 2016 and form a large liberal-conservative bloc, or will it falter to 'the Left' once again?
Congratulations! You have won the 2000 election.
Confounding the predictions of many experts, you were able to turn the tables on Al Gore, in spite of the economy and Clinton's popularity.
On the political front, you can push for tax cuts to spur the economy and return the budget surplus to the American people. You might also pursue education and immigration reform, individual Social Security accounts, and new laws to defend the family and the sanctity of life.

Perhaps it was always a long-shot, with the Democrats in such a commanding position after eight years of Bill Clinton. In any case, at least you are still the Governor of Texas.

Joined by many new figures during this surge, the LVŽS is heterodox, but promised a technocratic government of ‘change’ and was mainly supported by older, rural, socially conservative 'Left' voters. Can it retain its positions in spite of falling support and the COVID pandemic, and prove wrong the unspoken law of Lithuanian politics - that incumbents never get reelected?
Congratulations! You have won the 2000 election.
You have an agenda to fulfill and a Real America to defend for the next four years. Will you follow through with the concessions to progressives on universal healthcare, or will you focus on your own planks like education reform and the Equal Rights Amendment? If you are as successful as Clinton, 2004 will be a cakewalk.
Radical Rex and his paleoconservative agenda will, hopefully, be repudiated by the Republicans in 2004. Let's hope he does not enter history as another Goldwater, shaping his party into a right-wing turn in spite of his loss.

It just seems all the little things affecting your campaign were too much to handle. Maybe you should have emphasized your relation to Clinton more. Maybe you should have moved politically left to mend fences with Fitzgerald's clique. Maybe you should have moved politically RIGHT to get more rural votes. Whatever it is, Rex Martin will be the next president. As it has since 94, the House and Senate will remain Republican, and Radical Rex will have a mostly free hand to enact his extreme agenda.
You are still Governor of Alaska, but who knows if you will keep that position for long? The next elections are in 2002, and Alaska looks quite red... A run in 2004 is not impossible, but it's not likely that the party will give you or your faction another shot.
