Campaign For Secularism In British Sovereignty

Today British Sovereignty PM John Simm made a speech in favour of the recent drive towards secularism, amid rumours that religious symbols will soon be banned in schools. Although only a minority of the population are strongly religious, there are many who are loosely religious, and this legislation would understandably upset many of them, British Sovereignty's more religious citizens. Simm has long been a supporter of secularism, saying that it would lead to a decline in racial tensions and religious segregation, but has many in opposition who feel that religion has an important place in education and the home.

Religion is currently in decline in British Sovereignty, but it is still a huge part of many people's lives. Recent legislation has outlawed the teaching of religion as fact in schools - for example, creationism, but allows "Religious Studies" to take place, because according to the government "It allows for the diversity that has made British Sovereignty such a good place to live.

In other news, the Conservative opposition leader, David Cameraman, has called for religious services in schools - a stark contrast to Simm's declaration. Cameraman and the Conservatives in general are often seen as on the side of religion generally, and this statement has done nothing to quash those stereotypes.

Al Hilal Civil War Shows No Sign Of Ending

In international news, the ongoing civil war in Al Hilal shows no sign of drawing to a close. When asked by our reporter what he planned to do on the situation, Prime Minister John Simm replied that he would "persue diplomatic relations with both sides of the conflict. Intervention is out of the question - it would be what we would view as an illegal war", and that at the moment the government are "attempting to persuade the rebels to use democratic means". So far foreign intervention has been limited, as many states simply do not seem to care about the situation.

The Guardian believes that the British Sovereignty military is in no position to start a war. However, other countries probably should offer the Al Hilal government aid, if only financial. The Guardian has been led to believe that the rebels would install an opressive and unjust government, which would abuse its powers. Jim Croshack, Foreign Secretary, told reporters at a press conference that he believes that the current Al Hilal government would begin to modernise and reform if it won the civil war.

Yakuta Problems Ongoing

Talks are currently going on about the state of Yakuta, a nation which recently lost a massive war and was then partitioned. The country was partitioned over political differences between the victors of the war - one victor has instituted a democracy, another a dictatorship. The Guardian believes that the victors should resolve their differences peacefully during these talks, but at the moment talks seem to be getting nowhere.

Greater Americiania (the country which has instituted its own dictatorial puppet state) is unbending that a dictatorship is the way to go, much to the dismay of many other nations. Greater Americiania's leadership believe that a democracy would open the way to an extreme government, although it could be argued that this would be exactly what they have achieved in appointing a nationalistic dictator. The Guardian endorses the campaign for the reunification of Yakuta under a democratically appointed government.

Universal Space Facility In Production

The Nation of Denecaep has recently begun a groundbreaking project - the USF (Universal Space Facility). It is planned to be a space station that will exist in high Earth orbit, and will be used for multiple things, such as research and exploration. It is billed as an ongoing project, as new areas can be added and modified at will.

Each section, added one at a time, will be called a module, donated by any nation that has the capacity and willingness to embark upon such a project. There will be no rent for use of the module, only a maintenance fee for the contributing nation's own module.
