Helsaland entered Omnione on May 5th and was not particularly active. Most activity during thus early period was related to his candidacy in the May 2021 general election. Helsaland registered his own party, the People's Liberty and Welfare League. Helsaland would release two election telegrams which would win him the vast majority of his support. When the election results were released the PLWL won 25% of the vote, winning two seats in the House of Councilors.

Early days in government
Immediately following the release of the election results Ghosty approached Helsaland seeking to form a government. An agreement was reached where Helsaland would serve as Vice Grand Chancellor and Anamaristan, the leader of the Social Democratic Party, would serve as the Vice World Assembly Delegate.

Helsaland would propose two pieces of legislation during this early period. The first was the Judicial Democracy Act. The Judicial Democracy Act changed Omnione law to have the Supreme Court of Omnione, which was unfilled at the time, be elected as opposed to appointed by the Grand Chancellor. The act would pass parliament despite opposition from the Conservative Party.

The second of these bills was the Term Limit Act. The term Limit Act set a limit of four terms for members of parliament and six for higher up government officers. The bill faced opposition from the Grand Chancellor, Speaker of the House Waffel, and Conservative leader Ensbridge. As a result, the bill would be blocked in the house.

On July sixth, leader of the region Raxula, Rost Dreadnorammus, as well as New Mordka, made a series of homophobic and anti-leftist comments, threatening violence against both groups. The comments were triggered by the fact that Novorbirsk, later referred to as Vlad, was in the midst of a civil war against radical socialists. Following a series of arguments between Omnite leadership and the Raxulans, the Founder, Waffel, considered cutting off diplomatic relations and Rost decided to leave the server. The following day, Helsaland proposed the Judicial Reform Act to parliament in response. The Judicial Reform Act would create the Ministry of Justice as well as outlining certain Supreme Court procedure. The act would pass unanimously.

July Special Election
In response to the act, Waffel decided to call a special election to fill the Ministry of Justice position, the three Supreme Court seats, and an open seat in Parliament.

Helsaland would run for the Minister of Justice position. Originally he was opposed by Naroda Napredna Repulicaja Serpska who would drop out shortly after announcing his candidacy. In the Parliament election, three candidates emerged. Lardinia, an indpendent, Novorbirsk, the Labour candidate, and a social democratic candidate who would drop out do to Novorbirsk allegedly stealing his work.

Helsaland would win the Minister of Justice position with 66.7 percent of the vote. Novorbirsk placed a distant second.

Many, including the man who would later prosecute Helsaland, Joshi, would claim that this was due to a smear campaign done by Helsaland branding Novorbirsk as the "lawless lawmaker"

Blackmail Scandal
Shortly before the election, Ghosty discovered that Novorbirsk had revealed a condemnation bill against Raxula to the Raxulans. When the election started and Novorbirsk announced his candidacy, Helsaland privately spoke to Novorbirsk advising him to end his candidacy. Novorbirsk briefly did end his candidacy but shortly after started campaigning again, this time against Helsaland for Minister of Justice. Helsaland again spoke to Novorbirsk privately, this time threatening impeachment should he be elected. Shortly after, it was revealed that Novorbirsk had hired Joshi, who had been offering his legal services for the past few weeks, to press charges. The charges would be released shortly before the election but it would not do much to hurt Helsaland's campaign.

Shortly after the election results were released, Chief Justice Angel of Death started the trial

The first day began with the opening statements of both parties. Helsaland represented himself and claimed that the suit was nothing more than a political tool. Joshi claimed that Helsaland posed a direct threat to the democracy of Omnione and that he would use emotions instead of facts to avoid conviction. Joshi would begin his case by calling Helsaland himself to the stand.
