It was a snap election, called for by Prime Minister Reginald Wilton-Smyth on 14 April with the intention of providing clarity following the gambled pensions scandal. All 600 Members of Parliament in the Chamber of Commons were elected. Official results were released on 29 May. The opposition Progressive Social Democrats emerged from the election as the largest party, and Zoe Halivar ''(pictured)'' announced her intention to form a minority government with support from smaller progressive parties. The results were the best for the social democratic left since the 1973 election, and the worst for the Reform Party since its foundation in 1980, and saw leader Esther Bennett lose her constituency seat. The governing Sotirian Democratic Union fell back, but retained a sizable vote share and attempted to form a government. The Greens saw a rise in their vote share, challenging Reform for third-largest party. Three new parties, Vox Estmere, future.es and the SCCA, won seats in Parliament for the first time. Voter turnout in the election was 72.85%, up 2.4% since the last election, and the highest for a national election since 1999. The PSD was seen to have reversed long-term trends by supplanting Reform as the major centre-left party, doing so by broadening its appeal and winning voters in suburban areas with a focus on social liberalism and competence.

The East Line (Brumenese: Ostlinie, Lush: Keleti Vonal), commonly referred to as the Dinsmark - Alexandropolis Corridor, is a high-speed rail (HSR) line in East Belisaria that is part of the continent's larger interconnected HSR network. It is served by the Comet, a HSR service owned by the Continental Comet Consortium (C3), a consortium established by various railway corporations from Brumen and Drevstran. The East Line begins its service at Südbahnhof in Dinsmark the capital city of Brumen, which also serves as its terminus & depot. It terminates in the city of Alexandropolis, the capital of Mesogeia. There are two types of services: the slower Astro line which stops at all stations along the corridor, and the faster Sage line which only stops at certain stations. The Astro line is serviced by Blitz 2 NG trainsets, with a service speed of 220km/h it is the slowest of all Comet service lines. Sage lines are serviced by Blitz 4 trainsets, with a service speed of 380km/h making it the fastest HSR service provided by the Comet. Talks of a HSR network between the two neighboring countries began since 1991 when both governments signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) which laid the groundwork for a fully integrated HSR network between Brumen and Drevstran. The Dinsmark - Angrast Corridor, now considered as Phase 1 of the project, commenced operation in 11 May 1994. Since then it has expanded its coverage to include Beredino in 2005 and Alexandropolis in 2006.
