South Sunrisia Begins Hosting Largest “Eastern” War Games In Recent Memory

South Sunrisia has become a ground for historical largest international military exercises in recent memory. After having initiated joint drills with the United Soviet Jason Republic, the Supreme Leadership and Government had decided to expand the ongoing war games with our country’s closet military ally and invite more of South Sunrisia’s and the USJR’s mutual international partners to join in. The armed forces of the Communist Reich, Divergia and Vekalse – have all joined the military forces of South Sunrisia and the USJR, partaking in joint international military exercises and war games hosted in our country.

The military command of the South Sunrisian Revolutionary Guardian Army (SSRGA) has said that the rules will remain pretty much the same and the schedule will not differ, with the international drills planned to take place for an undetermined number of weeks and set to test every element of the military – the ground forces, the naval forces and the air forces, as well as focus on developing the ability for the armed forces of all 5 participating countries to function as a single contingent on all fronts of the battlefield – land, water and the skies. The exercises have been launched today and will continue for a yet-undetermined period of time. The military of South Sunrisia has not hidden the fact that the point of these exercises is to strengthen the alliance of South Sunrisia, the USJR, the Communist Reich, Divergia and Vekalse in the face of threats coming from growing international terrorism and from the ambitious west.

The personnel of the remaining 3 new participants have already arrived in South Sunrisia and quickly joined in on the ongoing mutual training between the South Sunrisian and the USJR forces. The military of the Communist Reich has arrived first, as the large contingent comprised of 20,000 soldiers, 6 Air Force Divisions, 1 Cruiser, 2 Destroyers and 4 Corvettes has moved into South Sunrisia this morning. The armed forces of Divergia and Vekalse arrived soon after. The SSRGA has said that our country’s lands, territorial waters and skies will all be parts of the stage set for these long international military drills. However, it was not just foreign military personnel that has paid a visit to South Sunrisia, as diplomats and even leaders from abroad have come to our country as well. The President of the United Soviet Jason Republic Grimpen Mortimer came to South Sunrisia for a 1-day state visit. The President of the USJR arrived in the capital Lucera, where he met Supreme Leader Víc Sêrria and Prime Minister Rêc Práter at the Presidential Palace. After having talked to both leaders in two separate individual meetings and then 1 joint one between all of them, the Supreme Leader, the Prime Minister and the USJR President had travelled to observe some of the military drills.

The media has already questioned the national authorities and pointed out that the west might see these drills as provocation, however, the Supreme Leadership, the Government and the SSRGA have all said that our country has not violated any agreements with neither North Sunrisia nor its’ allies, as Aestin was informed of these expanding military drills in advance, as required by the Harmony Pact. Prime Minister Rêc Práter has even said that North Sunrisia was the first one to initiate international military exercises in its’ territory, thus also giving South Sunrisia to militarily train and strengthen ties with its’ allies on our own country’s soil, as it is the right of every sovereign state to do so. The SSRGA, meanwhile, has said that the west’s possible provocations, backlash and counter-action are not a problem, as South Sunrisia has the tools and a plan set on how to deal with possible disturbances. The military has instead pointed out that growing international terrorism needs to be a threat that the armed forces of South Sunrisia should focus on, because of how much more of a realistic existential danger they pose, in comparison to the untrustworthy west, which can be negotiated with.

First Rodranian nuclear device announced and tested
The "Little Willy" nuclear bomb has a warhead of 1 Mt

June 21st, 2016

Today, the Kaiser has publicly announced that the first Rodranian nuclear device has been successfully tested with results above what was expected. The nuclear device was detonated underground in an undisclosed location. The "Little Willy" nuclear bomb, as called affectionately by the research team, has a range of 360 km² if detonated on the surface and 497 km² if detonated on the air. The highest number of casualties expected if launched on a large city such as Pacifica City and detonated mid-air is of over 2,5 million people, but the device is not planned to be used on civilian populations and must also be dropped from an aircraft, dramatically reducing its effectiveness against such targets.

Not much information is known about the device, as only a few pictures have been leaked. It is known, howhever, that the nuclear bomb can only be dropped from aircraft such as the Brullendrachen or Komet, as development for ICBMs is not yet planned. The device also lacks the mechanisms to be qualified as an "Intelligent Bomb", and is identified by government officials simply as a "Dumb Bomb". More information about the testing is yet unknown, and the total number of devices manufactured has been announced to be only 2, with more of them not expected to be produced.

The Kaiser Wilhelm I has made no comment about the nickname of the nuclear bomb, but it's said he's not happy with the name choice.

Allentyrian Soldiers Shot Attempting to Cross Border

Komstadt, Engleberg -- Today in the state of Komstadt, riots have begun in the city of Hansburg. The rioters have been reported to chant for a "revolution to revolt against the fascist oppressors of the Englean government," and to replace it with "...a fair, Marxist state that benefits all." A similar riot had occurred on May 19, 1970, under the reign of Konrad I. The rebels had captured and held onto the state now known as Komstadt, and held it for two months until being crushed by the Kaiserliche-Garde. Nearly 5,000 communist rebels had been killed during the rebellion, including 20 executions of the leaders of the group. Ever since then, the "state" had been a designated "Quarantine Zone," in which communists in the nation are held. These new riots are being placed under the group known as the "Falken." The Englean Reichsgarde has been mobilized to secure the area surrounding Komstadt, and to prevent anyone from exiting the Zone. It is believed that the communists are using the town of Westfeld, which was the site of the 1934 Virus that wiped out nearly 3,000 in a matter of months without a treatment; but died out in 1965. This area is being monitored by the Schützpolizei for any activity. Along with this, the Reichspolizei is monitoring any citizens known to be sympathizers to any socialist or communist organization for possible support of these rebels in other cities. Head of the Reichspolizei, General des Reichspolizei Claus Schmidt, stated "These rebels are to be eliminated at the fastest pace. We must not allow for a rebellion that supports the immoral practices of communism. These people are the victims of the brainwashing caused by Marx and his supporters. All they need is to be put back on the right path, the path of nationalism." As this report was being created, many Englean artillery vehicles were being moved into areas surrounding the state.

Prime Minister Leaves For Philomachus, Princess Asks For Peace Between Allentyr and Engleberg.

Imperial News

Prime Minister Hoelmon left for Philomachus today, planning to make speeches to the Ruffians. He explained his motives for going in a simple manner: he wished to keep Rezua and Philomachus in good communication. PM Hoelmon's speech was not a condemnation of the east, but rather a request to remain with Rezua. He did not make the east look bad by listing negative things about them, he only used positive things to describe the friendship between Rezuans and Ruffians.

Back at home, Princess Christina released a statement to Engleburg and to Allentyr. She stated that she does not want to deal with another war. She asked the two nations if losing so many million in Senkaria was enough suffering and death, or if they wanted to add more. The Princess has requested both sides to come to the capital to talk about their issues nuetrally.

[The Shady Looking Vukmiri Delegates]

Yondu Nanoforges, Crown corporation of Vukmiri experimental weaponry formally announces the development of three new military technology demonstraters and weapons. The announcement was first rumored at VXCon, where Chairman Ionplod of the company announced three new items that would break the limitations of man.

Later the rumors were confirmed true as the company updated their site, revealing the three objects. The first being the countries first, SLBM. The SLBM, a submarine launched ballistic missile is the newest of the three projects. The project was called in response to global tensions on the nuclear stage and needed the first component of a gossiped nuclear triad that the country may or may not be developing. The projects only name has been noted as FDXS-2 and is estimated to be supersonic and capable of striking anywhere in the eastern hemisphere world. Though this project remains eternally dead without uranium or plutonium, both of which the country lacks.

The second is the most publicized and hyped of the three. The second being the Falken-X, a surface to surface hypersonic cruise missile developed to reach up to Mach 8 speeds. The missile is designed to be carried by Vukmiri cruisers, destroyers, and missile trucks. The max payload of the weapon is a 88 ton thermobaric warhead and the lowest is nothing. The weapon is incredibly expensive if it is out of testing and on the market and would only be estimated to use as a last resort weapon.

The final hinted weapon and the most secretive is a potential littoral combat ship, designed with long range weapons and stealth capabilities in mind. The ship is based off of the current Vukmiri corvette in terms of computer and radar systems, however it is more focused on defending and staying in a single point should an attack come, which is why upgraded CIWS batteries and jammers are far more prevalent on the ship. That is all the information we have currently.

The State of Smoya - Special Report
The Daily Epic


Presidential feud

The Great Panda could be having better days. This last week a rag tag group of former Republicans and Labor folks attacked his policies of staying neutral in international affairs under his presidency, especially in Senkaria. Just a few months ago it was revealed that a giant swastika was mistakenly put up for a Iacki flag during a presentation on Karavayev's plan to improve relations with Iackstorm (whose relations have been going well). Not to mention that even months before that, it appeared that the "person" apparently in charge of running a happiness clinic in Dronden personally appointed by the president was actually a dead rat, and the clinic - nationally known for it's superb healthcare and depression treatment, where frowns would flock to - was being run by (with the assistance of the dead rat, of course) a psychologist and a team of deported Lispanolan immigrants who specialized in the fine art of Lispanolan cuisine.

The white coats in Congress seem to be fed up now, as any bill - especially concerning Karavayev's plan to increase national happiness - have been swat down like flies. The Karavayev fan club seems to be dying out as well, as former congressmen and women who openly supported the president are silently not standing up for his plans anymore, and along with it, his popularity.

The upcoming election appears to be more of an episode of The Bachelor rather than an election for the most powerful job in Smoya. Already 32 candidates have applied, all from different backgrounds and sides of the political spectrum. Don't hold your breath, though, this just seems to be the first wave of presidential hopefuls. The notion that Smoyan voter always choose someone radically different from the last president, it seems, never fails in an election season.

Many former Democrats have united to support a centrist man named Evan Brooks, who formerly supported the president but had a change of heart. The right wing congressmen and women appear to be divided between about 15 different candidates, many whom appose the president's national happiness policy, with one even wanting to trash the entire Department of Happiness for a Department for a "Department of BlackPeopleAreFriendsNotFood", a department that would "effectively end racist attitudes across the world". The rest of Congress, filled with former party members of various parties, are all divided and creating new presidential coalitions to support wildly different candidates. It ranges from a candidate "freeing the whales" at the Lispanolan border, another one who pledges to create new jobs and a wonderful space vessel which would accompany Smoyan shuttles to space and "blow up any piece of alien evidence", and a short Asian man under name of Watup Nika who calls for bringing the military into inner city "hoods" to enforce rap battles and train "gangstas" how to defend themselves from mass shooters.

Normality does not seem to be the norm this election. Yet, it is evident that the legacy of President Karavayev will either be carried on or smothered by this election's outcome. Although some programs seem likely to stay, many of the president's programs are at risk for vanishing this season. The election certainly will not be a normal one.

North Sunrisia And Allies Launch Large-Scale Military Exercises
North Sunrisia becomes a host nation for one of the largest ongoing international military drills and war games, opening the country’s doors for the majority of military allies to test out the capabilities of their armed forces

North Sunrisia has taken up the initiative to provide the platform for multiple countries to test out the overall capabilities of their military forces. The Department of Security and the command of the North Sunrisian Liberty Defense Army, have announced that the armed forces of 9 foreign countries have been invited to participate in a series of large joint military drills, organized and set to be held in North Sunrisia, not too long after the conclusion of the joint North Sunrisian–Smoyan exercises. The decision to welcome soldiers from abroad for exercises in North Sunrisia, has already been approved by the parliament and received President Coél Nátio‘s signature, leaving it up to the North Sunrisian armed forces to further handle the procedure.

Military officials have said that among the countries invited for international drills in our nation, are different categories of North Sunrisia’s military allies, including allies in WeSTO, allies under an individual partnership through some special bilateral treaty, and those countries that have military facilities in North Sunrisia’s territory. Out of the confirmed participants, the countries that fall in either one or even all of the previously-mentioned categories are – Aznazia, Rhodevus, Lindenholt, Creperia, Rezua and Smoya, a country which North Sunrisia has recently held and concluded joint drills with and which is considered to be one of the closest and most-devoted of our partners. Originally, these 6 nations were the only considered participants, however, the military has said that 3 new additions were invited later and only 1 of them falls into a category of North Sunrisia’s current military allies. The later additions are – Oblaren, a member of WeSTO, Belantica, a country which North Sunrisia has yet to develop stronger ties with, and Ispanza, an island country located right next to South Sunrisia.

Today, a spokesman for the command of the North Sunrisian army, has said that the military personnel from 9 allied and partner nations have already begun settling in North Sunrisia and are now in the early preparation for the wide-range military exercises, which are set to take place for a number of weeks. The structure of the drills is set to be identical to the recent North Sunrisian–Smoyan exercises, testing out the armies, the navies and the air forces of all participating 10 countries, including our own, with the main focus falling on the ability to make the military forces of all our countries function as a single body. Military officials did not hide that the decision of hold these large-scale international drills was made by the government, however, the initiative came from the North Sunrisian armed forces, after the careful evaluation of the geopolitical situation and consultation with the Department of Security and the National Defense Council. The growing threat of international terrorism, the unpredictability of the actions of rogue states and the uncertainty coming from North Sunrisia’s immediate neighbors and their allies, have been cited as main reasons why these international military exercises were organized and need to be held.

Nevertheless, it did not take a long time before President Coél Nátio was personally questioned by the media on the matter. The head of state was requested to openly say, without any abstractions, whether the drills are a direct response to the ongoing parallel military exercises that South Sunrisia’s is currently-holding with its’ 4 allies in its’ own country. The President has replied by saying that – “Every person’s logic and common sense should answer that question to them.”, which has still been called out as an abstract answer. Speaking more on the North Sunrisian-hosted military drills and war games, President Nátio has given more focus to the preservations of interests of each of the participating countries, with North Sunrisia receiving strengthening and backing reassurance to its’ national security by being the host, and our allies receiving a very qualitative and comfortable chance to test the capabilities of their militaries in the face of the existing common global threats. “We need to show our unity in the eyes of our potential common adversaries and in the eyes of the threat that all of Sunalaya is facing today, which is destructive and intolerable terrorism, a dark stain on this planet that needs to be eradicated. Hopefully, a common pursuit to destroy this evil might even bring us and our adversaries closer.” – said the President.

Bannerless Brotherhood spokesman: “Creperia used to be one of our state sponsors.”

The Dictatorship of Creperia provided sanctuary to multiple terrorist organizations, including the Bannerless Brotherhood.


The Bannerless Brotherhood helped form and was the main supporter of the ‘Superior State of Aurona and Lumena’ comprised of SSA and SSL, and ‘Greater Faxina’ during Creperia’s War on Terrorism.

The Bannerless Brotherhood has recently publicized a new video address, where the organization’s spokesman speaks on the behalf of the Brotherhood from an unknown location. It is speculated that the address has come from the Centre of Operations located somewhere in Rhodevus, however, it is unconfirmed, as the message may have actually come from either of the Bannerless Brotherhood’s headquarters around the world. In his address/speech, the anonymous spokesman hiding himself behind a black facemask with his voice also being disguised with the voice changer, he spoke of the Brotherhood continuing activities in Senkaria and gave hints on further plans of the Brotherhood’s branch in the Communist Reich, where the organization has recently caused some unrest. He continued with some more threats about future attacks in any spot in Sunalaya and proceeded with the traditional statement that the flag of the Bannerless Brotherhood would fly in each major national capital across Sunalaya. What caught most attention in the spokesmen’s address, something related to Creperia, is that the spokesman has openly paid his respects on the behalf of the entire Bannerless Brotherhood around the world, to the recently-fallen “brother”, referring to the leader of SSA, who was killed in a firefight during an escape attempt from prison in Zanera. Apparently, in this address, the Brotherhood has decided not to keep any secrets anymore and openly lay out everything related to their role in some of the already-concluded military conflicts around Sunalaya, including in Creperia.

Further elaborating on this point, the Brotherhood spokesman has finally confirmed the previously-alleged, yet highly-likely theory that the Creperian intelligence agencies have been investigating since the very fall of the dictatorship and up to this day. He has confirmed that the Bannerless Brotherhood was indeed granted sanctuary in the Dictatorship of Creperia, along with multiple other “militant” organizations, with the regime not only providing a safe-haven and a base of operations to plan further activities, but also to train, recruit new members and allow members from the Brotherhood branches in other countries in Sunalaya to “reconcile” with their brethren in Creperia. The regime was said to have even sold some weaponry and equipment to the Bannerless Brotherhood in Creperia, also being open allow the establishment of the Bannerless Brotherhood branch in Creperia, if it were to promise to cooperate with the dictatorship and support it against the rising opposition, which threatened the regime’s power. “Creperia used to be one of our state sponsors” – said the Brotherhood spokesman. When the regime eventually fell, the Bannerless Brotherhood was unwilling to leave Creperia and instead had plans to cease leadership over the country from the newly-elected democratic government, attempting to pull off the same scenario as the Brotherhood had in Rhodevus, causing a civil war in that country. However, due to the new government not being as weak, as the Brotherhood originally thought it would, it had instead decided to aid other terrorist organizations – the ‘Superior State of Aurona and Lumena’ consisting of SSA and SSL, and ‘Greater Faxina’, both of which sought to create new states by seceding forcefully-captured Creperian territories and creating new countries out of them, which would be spiritual successors to the Dictatorship of Creperia. Originally, it was believed that the Bannerless Brotherhood had only strongly aided MDF in its’ fight against Creperia, however, the spokesman has revealed that the Bannerless Brotherhood was playing a role of a secret advisor, guide and even leader in the fight of the ‘Superior State’ and ‘Greater Faxina’ against Creperia, evening participating in a large portion of key battles. However, despite such active participation, their presence in Creperia was still undiscovered by the national authorities and although the SSA, SSL and ‘Greater Faxina’ were all failed experiments, the Brotherhood secretly remained in Creperia long enough for the MDF insurgency to begin. The spokesman finished his address by saying that the Bannerless Brotherhood will continue its’ fight in the name of its’ most-recently fallen brethren – the ‘Superior State of Aurona and Lumena’, ‘Greater Faxina’ and MDF.

The links between the former Dictatorship of Creperia and various international terrorist organizations has been a subject under investigation for a long time. A lot of undisputed and confirmed details about the covert activities of the regime harboring terrorists and providing them with a sanctuary, as well as a base of operations in our country, have already been revealed by the opposition and various illegal underground pro-democracy movements, during the regime’s reign. Despite various attempts by the dictatorship to keep these activities hidden, the public and the world were very slowly becoming more informed of the fact that Creperia was being turned into a base for global terrorist groups to further plot their activities, likely paying off the dictatorship for “hospitality”. Even after the fall of the dictatorship during the Creperian–Sunrisian War, our country’s intelligence agencies within the newly-democratic Creperia, continued the investigation of the links between the former regime and the harbored terrorist groups, analyzing questions like – what organizations were receiving state sponsorship from the dictatorship?, in what form and quantity?, how were they able to be secretly given access to Creperia’s national borders?, what possible role did the terrorists have within the internal affairs of the Dictatorship of Creperia?, were the terrorists integrated in the Creperian Military? and various others. However, the focus of the investigation was soon drawn primarily to the regime’s links to one terrorist organization in particular – the Bannerless Brotherhood.

In the list of terrorist organizations that had been discovered as having received sanctuary in the Dictatorship of Creperia, compiled over a long period of investigation in modern Creperia and during the days of the regime’s reign, the Bannerless Brotherhood has been included as a group that was also provided a secret base of operations within our country by the dictatorship. Although a lot of the terror groups used Creperia as a temporary sanctuary or base of operations, at time when it was needed to them, the Bannerless Brotherhood was an exceptional case, as they pursued the establishment of a permanent presence in our country, which was not a distant goal due to cooperation from the Creperian dictatorship. The Brotherhood is one of the largest terrorist organizations in the world and maintains branches in multiple countries across Sunalaya, with its’ primary Centre of Operations allegedly being located in an undetermined location in Rhodevus. The goal of the Brotherhood was to create a new branch in Creperia, further pushing the organization closer towards the goal of world domination. Under the dictatorship’s “umbrella” the organization might have been successful, however, after the regime had fallen by the hands of the Sunrisian Military and the Creperian people, the Brotherhood and other terrorist groups remaining in Creperia knew that the new democratic government would go after them.

Hoping that the new Creperian government would be weak, the harbored terrorist groups had begun waging war on Creperia in pursuit of taking over the country for themselves. Even the remaining members of the toppled regime sought to reclaim power from the new democratic government and decided to ally itself with the terrorist groups that it had harbored in Creperia during its’ reign. The remnants of the dictatorship, the Rezuan Tsarists taking refuge in Creperia after the loss in the Civil War in their own country, recruited foreign mercenaries and other harbored terrorist groups – have all formed the ‘Superior State of Aurona’ (SSA) and the ‘Superior State of Lumena’ (SSL) factions that would later merge into the ‘Superior State of Aurona and Lumena’ (SSAL), an entity, which they sought to create by forcefully seceding the territories of Aurona and Lumena from the rest of Creperia, despite those territories enjoying an autonomous status granted to them via a referendum, where autonomy was chosen over independence by the inhabitants and where the territories were being administered by democratically–elected autonomous governments. The militants of the SSAL did not hide that not only was the country that they pursued to create would be a totalitarian and be turned into a safe-haven for international terrorism, like the former Dictatorship of Creperia was, but that after it’s secession from Creperia, the newly-established ‘Superior State’ would further continue spreading its’ borders across Corentia and later the world. Fortunately, the ‘Superior State’ was defeated by the Creperian Military with the help from the Trevcran Military and the entity fully collapse, while the autonomous territories were liberated, the autonomous administrations were brought back to power and the inhabitants were allowed to return home. Every militant of the SSAL was killed during the military operations by Creperia and Trevcra, with international aid, while the leaders of the SSA and SSL were captured, sentenced to life imprisonment for terrorism and sent to foreign prisons in Trevcra and Zanera, where they would both remain incarcerated until their ultimate deaths from different accidents, each a direct result of their own actions.

In Creperia’s other autonomous territory – Faxina, in the country’s west, one of the deposed dictator’s top advisors and a group of dictatorship’s remnants, overthrew the autonomous government and proclaimed the establishment of a new sovereign and totalitarian state – ‘Greater Faxina’ which would be ruled by a ‘Supreme Overlord’ and be a spiritual successor to the already non-existent Dictatorship of Creperia. The goal was secession from Creperia and then the expansion of the territory beyond Creperia’s borders and even beyond Corentia, similarly to the ‘Superior State’. In comparison to the SSAL, the army of ‘Creater Faxina’ was much smaller in size and weaker in military power, allowing the Creperian National Defense Force (CNDF) and the autonomous armies of not just Faxina, but also the recently-liberated Aurona and Lumena, to defeat the forces of ‘Greater Faxina’, overthrow the self-proclaimed ‘Supreme Overlord’, dissolve ‘Greater Faxina’, liberate the territory, return the legitimate autonomous government to power, re-establish the autonomy of Faxina and allow the refugees to return. Like the leaders of the SSA and SSL, the self-proclaimed ‘Supreme Overlord of Greater Faxina’ was also sentenced to life-imprisonment for terrorism and sent to an incarceration facility in Divergia. Why locked away, he soon died of pneumonia in his 90’s, however, his cause of death is being investigated as a possible poisoning. Creperia’s fight against the ‘Superior State’ and ‘Greater Faxina’ and our country’s ultimate victory against both entities, is today being referred to as War on Terrorism or Domestic War on Terrorism campaign.

Throughout all of this, the Bannerless Brotherhood had still managed to secretly remain in Creperia and this time, the group was suspected to be attempting the Rhodeve Civil War scenario in the Democratic Republic by attempting to overthrow the government in Miraya. The ‘Mirayan Domination Forces’ (MDF) was another newly-emerged terrorist group that either consisted of the surviving harbored terrorists in Creperia, the remnants of the deposed dictatorship and foreign mercenaries. The MDF sought to forcefully take over the region of Miraya, which is primarily central Creperia and where the national capital is located, overthrow the national government, secede the territory from Creperia and identically start spreading its’ border far beyond, including consuming the territory of Creperia and its’ neighboring countries. The Bannerless Brotherhood saw a lot of similarities with the group and decided to join its’ fight against Creperia. The support was believed to be very significant, with the Brotherhood militias not only fighting alongside MDF in the battlefield against the Creperian forces and its’ allies, but also providing training, finances, armaments and recruiting fighters from abroad, among which were the Bannerless Brotherhood members from other branches of the organization in other Sunalayan countries. Although the Brotherhood originally sought to only overthrow the central Creperian government and thus take over the country, while MDF sought to create a break-away state from the region of Miraya and then continue expanding it, the Bannerless Brotherhood believed that a compromise could definitely be reached. Fortunately, just like with the ‘Superior State’ and ‘Greater Faxina’, MDF and the Bannerless Brotherhood were defeated and their terror in Creperia had ended. MDF was eliminated with each one’s of its’ members having been killed during operations by the Creperian Military and allied forces. The leader of the terrorist group was gunned down by a Creperian sniper during a climactic battle in MDF’s headquarters, with her identity being revealed as the daughter of the deposed Creperian dictator. The Bannerless Brotherhood seemed to have suffered a similar fate, with each of the organization’s militants having been reported as either dead or having fled the country, thus officially eliminating the presence of the Brotherhood in Creperia and sabotaging all plans to establish a Creperian branch of the Bannerless Brotherhood. Currently, it is believed that there is no presence of the Bannerless Brotherhood in Creperia, as reported by the military and intelligence agencies.

Originally, the Bannerless Brotherhood’s confirmed presence in Creperia was discovered during the MDF insurgency, also known as the Second War on Terrorism or Second Domestic War Terrorsim, despite the difference in scope of these armed engagements. The presence was confirmed when the Brotherhood militants were openly caught fighting alongside the MDF militias against the Creperian and allied forces. However, it was already believed that the Bannerless Brotherhood had been present in Creperia long before the MDF insurgency, as the terrorist organization was among those groups receiving sanctuary in Creperia by the dictatorship’s invitation. With the new information gathered by the intelligence agencies and now confirmed by the Brotherhood spokesman himself, the organization came to Creperia during the dictatorship’s reign and remained here ever since, with some of its’ fighters even enlisting in the Creperian Military under the regime, either as payback or for money. The group remained in Creperia ever since and had no thoughts about leaving, further following the goal of establishing a branch in Creperia. After the dictatorship fell, the Brotherhood actually helped create the ‘Superior State of Aurona and Lumena’ or SSA and SSL factions, along with ‘Greater Faxina’, even having been a secret strong advisor and even a leader of the SSA, SSL and ‘Greater Faxina’ in the battle against Creperia, without the government, the military or even the intelligence agencies knowing it. Turns out that the Bannerless Brotherhood was behind it all. It was likely that the Bannerless Brotherhood was attempting to wage war against Creperia by masking it as separatist insurgencies in Aurona, Lumena and Faxina, however, the true nature of the SSA, SSL and ‘Greater Faxina’, their routes and what they were all underneath, was revealed in the early days of the War on Terrorism.

With the Bannerless Brotherhood now openly revealing to us that the Creperian dictatorship was a state-sponsor of their organization, it not only gives us a reason to hate the former regime even more and bless the day when we were liberated from its’ oppression, but it also raises a question on how many more state-sponsors may the Bannerless Brotherhood and even other terrorist organizations having possessed around Sunalaya at the time and continue to possess today.

Rumors circulate in Vukmire as gossip out the Vukmiri X Hypersonic missile breaks out. Rumors and accusations suggest that a unmanned technology demonstrater craft has succeeded, breaking the Hypersonic minimum at 5.5, reports say that it only flew for about five minutes before returning to the Cinnigrad A.F.B. The base refuses to comment on the accusations and has gone into a lock down.

In other news, the VB3 medium range ballistic missile has failed once more, during its seventh testing. All of the previous seven attempts have failed. However this attempt has been the most "successful" so to speak and only failed during its re entry into the lower factory, where the heatshields were crippled and the mock warhead dissolved into the air. Sucess is rumored to be contributed by the successful firing of the VSR17 Tactical ballistic missile. One that was able to fire side to side of the country with little flaw.

South Sunrisia Officially Joins ORDER – International Military And Economic Alliance

South Sunrisia has officially become an official member and the latest addition to the relatively-new economic and military alliance – ORDER. Today, the Supreme Council and the Consultative Assembly have passed – the ORDER Membership Act, giving legal basis for South Sunrisia to join the international alliance and organization. Up until now, ORDER had relatively a “handful” of members, however, today, South Sunrisia has helped boost the number by officially becoming the newest member and hopefully helping to boost future possible enlargement of the organization.

Although South Sunrisia’s integration into ORDER has become public relatively-recently, the process of negotiation had actually been taking place for a while. The very beginning of this whole history was when Prime Minister Rêc Práter travelled to Lunarium, Divergia for a state visit. With Divergia being a founding member of ORDER, it was the visit in Lunarium, where Prime Minister Rêc Práter was offered to join the military and economic alliance. After giving some thought to the offer back in South Sunrisia, the Supreme Leadership and Government decided to go forward with the integration, with much support from the military as well. South Sunrisia applied for membership in ORDER and what followed was the long process of negotiations between our country and the organization, where Divergia served as as the primary stage of the talks most of the time. The deal was sealed recently and today, the Supreme Council and the Consultative Assembly have been given the green light to approve South Sunrisia’s incorporation into ORDER.

Officials have revealed that these negotiations were originally kept “under radar” in order not to provoke the west, and although it is expected that the backlash will still be inevitable, unfriendly forces will no longer be able to disrupt the process of South Sunrisia’s incorporation into ORDER, seeing to how our country has already successfully joined the organization. Supreme Leader Víc Sêrria has congratulated Prime Minister Rêc Práter and the Government on the achievement, while the Prime Minister called South Sunrisia’s successful accession into ORDER – “[A] great thing.” The Head of the Government especially pointed out the fact of how much will ORDER bring South Sunrisia closer to its’ allies, including economically and militarily.

ORDER is a military and economic alliance that shares similarities with WeSTO, an organization, which the neighboring North Sunrisia is a member of. Due occasional instabilities and escalations between the South and the North, Lucera has been alerted by the uneven proportion of forces in the region. As a member of WeSTO, North Sunrisia enjoys the backing of other members of the alliance, among which are superpowers and nuclear-armed states. Despite South Sunrisia enjoying protection of the USJR and Vekalse and sharing mutual defense with those countries, military officials pointed out a severe preponderance in case of a confrontation with WeSTO, even with support from such powerful allies as the USJR and Vekalse. Therefore, it was decided that South Sunrisia desperately needed to join a similar alliance which could serve as a counterweight to WeSTO. ORDER was recognized as the only presently-existing polar opposite of WeSTO.

Despite the Supreme Leadership and Government presenting it as a great achievement, Experts are not as enthusiastic about South Sunrisia’s accession into ORDER, not to mention the already-growing open opposition to the move within the country among the civil populace. Specialists say that South Sunrisia should have instead kept its’ individual mutual defense pact with the United Soviet Jason Republic only, which was enough of a shield to South Sunrisia’s against national security threats. Instead, South Sunrisia has contributed to the enlargement of rivalling military alliances and their expansion closer to each other’s borders. With South Sunrisia’s accession into ORDER, it means that ORDER and WeSTO will now officially share a border through the two Sunrisias – South and North, and that is a dangerous development achieved by South Sunrisia’s efforts. As parallel international military exercises are simultaneously taking place in South Sunrisia and North Sunrisia, ORDER and WeSTO have moved closer to each other and with truce between South Sunrisia and North Sunrisia remaining stagnant, experts are describing it as a path towards the Third World War, which would be Sunalaya’s last.

Hijackers Attempt Theft Of El Train In Montego: Foiled By Passengers/Police

MPD officers blocking off an intersection near Steinway Avenue after the hijackers attempted to flee from the station.

Last night, 3 men boarded an elevated train in Montego, where they attempted to hijack and steal the train for still reasons unknown at this time. At 9:58 PM, the 3 men crew boarded the front car of a train bound for Flecthertown, car #2670, at George Street. Upon entering the car, which only had two other passengers, the hijackers went for the car's cab at the front, much to their surprise the cab was empty due to having been equiped with an automated computer system that needed to be overidden to operate manually. Both of the passengers in the first car and a couple of passengers of the second car noticed the three men breaking into the cab, and decided to intervene, causing a disrupt in the group's hijacking. The passengers were able to both stop the hackers from taking full control of the train and to operate switches, and notify police at the same time.

MTA car #2670 as shown before being converted to automation in 2011.

The hijackers were forced out of the train at McKenzie Street station at 10:04 PM, as when the group tried to pull weapons on the vigilant passengers, many of them flashed handguns and knives at the hijackers, showing it would not end well for them according to witnesses, and the passengers. The group ran for the exit of the station, in which a transit police officer noticed them running with various objects in their hands, and attempted to stop them. One of these men had shot at the transit police officer, the officer quickly shot and killed the gunman, while the other two fled the station. The officer quickly notified both MPD and transit police to look for the other two. The other two men were later found by a police helicopter's thermal imaging camera inside of a for sale house on Steinway Avenue, five blocks away from the station where they first made contact with police. Both the hacker and the remaining gunman surrendered to police at 11:15 PM, when they realized they have been caught red handed. They are still refusing to give much information on why or for who they attempted to steal the train for. The mayor, officials from the MPD and the transit authority are expecting to release a statement sometime later.

President of Aznazian Senate Travels to Philomachus to Sell WeSTO
By: Georgia Farmer

UPDATED: 11 Am June 27th

The President of the Aznazian Senate Emma De la Pena flew to Philomachus a few days ago to try to sell WeSTO to the people of Philomachus. After traveling to 4 different cities she arrived in the capital today with a few thousand people showing up to a rally.

"WeSTO is a free and open organization built on Western ideals such as equality, teamwork, cooperation, and freedom. WeSTO is not like an alliance the requires all nations to accept everything in it. We have some nations that would rather join for the mutual security agreements, but not necessarily the economic agreements. In our unstable world we need more security and regional unity in Dogmana and Corentia, not less. Order is not an alliance of peace or prosperity but rather a collection of xenophobic, unstable, authoritarian nations looking to counter WeSTO's achievements. The WeSTO Charter states that each member must grant basic human rights to its citizens such as; life, freedom of speech and religion and the pursuit of happiness."

She continued by comparing the polices of WeSTO and Order.

"Policies in nations like Rodrania and Esotana do not reflect the views that many of you out their hold like segregation, and limited freedoms. It is sad that South Sunrisia has joined this group of nations in trying to create a organization who's goal is to undermine a threat that simply does not exist. The Western world is not militaristic and but we will not back down when a fight is necessary. Capsland and Zanera have condemned the actions in Senkaria by both Eastern and Western nations. They have condemned a fight that was needed to secure the security of not only Senkarian Rebels fighting for their own government but to also make our world more secure by not allowing International Terrorists gain foot holds in nations that are state sponsors of terrorism.

You may hear in the next few days that WeSTO is responsible for the events in Senkaria and that it needs to be disbanded and outlawed. However this is all political propaganda created to capture the vote of the uninformed. WeSTO is a 100% defensive organization and was in no way associated with the tragic events perpetrated by International Terrorists looking to create a new world order. That is why I am urging you to vote to remain in WeSTO and to continue to work with your fellow neighbors in Coretia and Dogmana towards a free, and prosperous world."

The speech has been met by positive remarks on social media with people through out WeSTO sharing the video of the speech and stating things like 'A United WeSTO is a safer world' and 'Order is full of xenophobic, fear-mongering, illiberals'. "Remain WeSTO" saw a good increase in support after the speech and is still in the lead but with Order growing in size many wonder if it will be enough.

Aznazian and Rezuan Citizens Officially Barred from Vekalse;
Vesticci Independence Referendum Delayed;
First Line of Deportations of Aznazians and Rezuans begin!
____________________________________________________________________________________

Late Saturday evening, Kaiser Verano de Sangre II met with his cabinet members in the first emergency meeting of its kind. Although unknown until this morning, the Kaiser and the Nationale Cabinenté were discussing the topic of Aznazian and Rezuan citizens. The Kaiser released a statement prior to the announcement of the decision, 'For too long, the nationalistic foreign peoples of Aznazia and Rezua have been clogging workplaces, taking jobs, performing crimes, and exploiting the people of Vekalse. Let this be an example for other foreign nationals: be considerate.' Not even fifteen minutes later, Kaiser Verano, Königin Marlis, and the Nationale Cabinenté decided to exclude all nation Aznazians and Rezuans from entering the nation. After explaining that they had come in the way of national affairs on groundbreaking television, the decision was finalized. The Kaiser then announced that he and the Nationale Cabinenté have severed all ties with exchange-programs and foreign-work programs from the two nations. Immediately, a record amount of support for the decision blew up on Tweeter, the number-one Sunalayan social-media site. In fact, the volume of people tweeting about '#AzRezBan' broke the site for three minutes, the site itself overloading and crashing. Many showed their disdain for the foreign-workers and were extremely happy with the decision.

In turn with this decision, the already delayed referendum in Vesticci Province, which is protesting for independence, has been delayed once again. Skepticism on whether the referendum will ever be held continues to grow with the lack of action and attention to the issue. For the first time in three months since the referendum was revealed, a local militant group attacked a small outpost near the local village of Pora José, also the poorest incorporated city in the nation. The outpost is located atop of Mount Pora, which is bordered by the massive Corinoca River, the third largest river on Aivaea. The Kaiser has yet to comment on the event.

An hour ago, the Kaiser made another appearance, announcing the biggest political decision thus far in 2016. Königin Marlis and the Kaiser officially announced that the first line of deportations of foreign-workers from Aznazia and Rezua will be enacted by tomorrow morning. Vekalsen citizens, those of Aznazian and Rezuan origins, will not be deported. The Kaiser has made it clear that these deportations will be strictly of those in foreign-exchange and worker programs between Vekalse and Aznazia and Vekalse and Rezua. Backlash against the decision by those in the programs have been massive, albeit national support seems to be very high, some estimating a nearly 80% majority supporting the decision. Those being deported in the so-called 'first line' of deportations have been given free plane tickets and moving service back to Rezua and/or Aznazia by the government, which econonmists estimate will cost the government $1.1B Reichümers. Updates on developments to be made soon.

[Zelonaya Iva]

Iva Times
General Ekonov continues speeches alongside new campaigners, and deportation of Aznazians in Zelonaya Iva begins

As General Ekonov continues to campaign through Philomachus, three new Iva campaigner have joined him in giving speeches across the country: Commander Yulichenko, Commander Zhukolov, and Private Otrin. The commanders are both very experienced members of the Iva military are very experienced members of the Iva military and have been describing how crime is managed in Zelonaya Iva. Statistics showing a 20% decrease in criminal activity since Ekonov assumed control of the nation proves that the Iva military is a very formidable and well organized defense force. The military, which also acts as the police, has kept the nation much safer. The Generals also went into lots of detail on the recent technological advances in military equipment made by Zelonaya Iva, comparing it to systems of WeSTO and proving the superiority of the Iva weapons shown to those of the west.

Private Otrin went from city to city and gave speeches on how the Iva military changed his life for the better. He graduated from school last year and went straight into the military where he turned his life around. Before joining, he had participating in drug abuse and drinking a lot. The military showed him that those things were wrong and made him a man. He speaks on how ORDER nations aren't militarized simply for defense purposes, but also to help the population. He claims that joining the military was the best decision of his life.

General Ekonov personally denounced the Aznazians in a speech broadcasted from where he is currently staying at in Philomachus. He also announced a new set of laws while there. His speech can be found below:

"People of Iva! As I finish my second speech today, I ran across the news that the Aznazians have begun campaigning here in Philomachus. I read the speech that the Aznazians prepared for the people here in Philomachus, and I can confidently assure you that is is complete bullshit. They claim that the western world is not militaristic when all that they do is spend money on their military! They say they are not militaristic, yet they intervene with their military in any nation with ideals they do not agree with. Hell, they would have intervened in Iva by now if it weren't for the fact that ORDER would easily kick their asses. I've decided that as relations begin to get progressively worse with the stupid Aznazians that it is time to deport anyone with ties to Aznazia in Zelonaya Iva and bar the entrance of Aznazians into the country similar to what we did with the Rezuan pigs. This is in order to ensure that our way of life is not disrupted by spies or any other Aznazian Dickhead. This new law will come into effect immediately. All people with ties to Aznazia will have a squadron of soldiers who will go to their houses and give them 30 minutes to pack what they can into any travel bags they possess. That is all."

[Rhodevus]

Rhodevus Upset with Vekalsen Deportations

After the recent news in Vekalse, that Rhodeve allies; Aznazia and Rezua will have their citizens deported and barred from entry into the country of Vekalse, the Rhodeve government has outwardly stated that they are,"Upset with certain members of the international community, which are increasing tensions, when diplomatic and political means of reconciliation are present and available." Aznazian and Rezuan programs with Vekalse, particularly student-exchange programs and foreign work visas will come to an end. Queen Diana did say to the news that, "yes, Rhodevus is disappointing with the end to programs that can effect the international economy, such as the [foreign work] visas, but its is between those nations involved and has very little to do with Rhodeve-Aznazian, Rhodeve-Rezuan and Rhodeve-Vekalsen relations. The deportations on the other hand, can be seen as a move to build tensions with the [Aznazian and Rezuan] governments, which is something Rhodevus is against."

Queen Diana went on to say that relations between Rhodevus and Vekalse will not change, as trade, tourism and scientific partnerships between the countries continues to expand for the 2nd year in a row.

Rhodevus on International Military Games

With the continuation of both the South Sunrisian lead military exercises, and North Sunrisian lead military exercises, the Rhodeve government is unconcerned with the possibility of increasing tensions between members of both war games. They have explained that they take the exact same stance on this matter as the Aznazians, saying that the North Sunrisian led war games have nothing to do with the games in South Sunrisia. Both nations should be allowed to host games without the risk of an increase of harsh criticism between the nations and their respected allies.


In Other News

• Rhodeve Liberal and Conservative Parties both support the Aznazian mission to Philomachus to keep the country in WeSTO, while the Green and Imperial parties both believe that Rhodevus should discuss their own involvement in the organization.

[Rezua]

Displeasure With Vekalse and Zelonaya Iva

With the recent violence in Senkaria, many nations want peace. However, it seems that the nations of Vekalse and Zelonaya Iva are not promoting peace. They have banned and deported innocent people from their nations and have used hostile tones to describe other nations. Rather that promote equal coexistence, since nations have widened the gap of ignorance between their nations and Rezua and Aznazia. Rather than offering open arms they have offered closed fists.

Rezua is concerned that these nations have chosen to follow may increases the misunderstanding that already exists between their nations and Rezua and her allies. As the Empress said "All people are affected by what the others do. Therefore, it is essential that all people work together for their benefit, rather than creating negativity." So far the Empress has offered no retaliation.

Tourist bus explodes killing 112 people
His Majesty, King Abdullah Amadescu endorses Vekalse's Deportation of Aznazians and Rezuans
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Early Tuesday Morning at approximately 8 AM, a bus had exploded in Al-Buherasta killing 112 people, Atanasi police officials and police said, which lead to a large fire spreading to a nearby car killing a sleeping driver and left 11 other people injured, 8 in critical condition. The cause of this bus explosion is unknown but it is said to be a terrorist attack. The Prime Minister of the country, Iosif Hamzæscu Constantadin had immediately responded saying that cause was unknown as the situation needs to be better investigated. The police force were more firm, assuming that it was a deliberate attack but are also open to all possibilities leading to the cause of this incident. All of those who had been killed were either in the bus that had detonated or where in a nearby car in which debris hit the window killing a driver. "We will discover the cause of this incident and do all we can to provide our country and and the international community satisfaction on what had happened earlier today. If the cause of this was criminal, those responsible for this will surely be held accountable for their actions." Tahir Lupescu, the head of the Al-Buherasta police department said. Updates on the situation will be given later today.

"What had happened earlier today as truly saddening. I give to the families in which lives where lost. Your pains and sorrow will soon lead to reward if he wills it." Said His Majesty in a public statement in response to the attacks. In response to the Vekalsen government giving necessary measures in protecting its country, His Majesty applauded decision made between Kaiser Verano de Sangre II and his cabinet members. "A very smart decision was made in protecting their country for the sake of jobs. The Vekalsen people will truly improve with more job opportunities and much more with it being the first step to a truly safer Vekalse. I truly respect their decision, and they shall continue to grow as long as they are not interrupted." His Majesty, said.

Aznazia Reacts with Surprise over Deportations
By: Remy La Salle

UPDATED: 11 Am June 28th

Aznazians awoke in Vekalse and Zelonaya Iva today with orders from the local police to leave immediately for deportation. So far only a handful have had to be taken into custody since many Aznazians were already feeling un-welcomed for the past few months. Not many Aznazians were living in Zelonaya Iva so the effect has not been as severe as the order from Vekalse where thousands of Aznazians live with work visas.

Some people accepted the deportation notice as a way to excuse themselves from Vekalse. Kelly Greene; an Aznazian student studying abroad told the Aznazian Gazette that he actually felt relieved. "I felt like everyone was watching me for so long. If anything this is just a good excuse for me to leave this xenophobic nation that was so open only a year ago. I plan on moving back home where I know I will be safe from the gangs of nationalists and police that seem to want to make my life difficult."

However others have been more combative. "I just arrived here last month with my family so I could work with a company that operates in Aznazia but is owned by a Vekalse company. Luckily my children are on summer break so they won't be missing any school. I just hope the Vekalse realize that they are living up to the speech given by Mrs. De la Pena. I may not agree with all her policies but she hit the nail right on the head when she called nations in Order xenophobic, fear-mongering, illiberals."

Across the ocean in Aznazia, a poll showed that only 20% of Aznazians support Vekalse as opposed to 40% who supported before the deportation orders (70% of Aznazians approved of Vekalse before Kaiser Verano de Sangre II took power). Many people feel that they have been betrayed by the former Aznazian ally. "I just can't believe that I vacationed there once", said Hellen Christiansen; a women that we interviewed on the street on her walk to work. When we asked her what it was like in Vekalse before the rise of Kaiser Verano de Sangre II, she stated "it was a very open and accepting place where I felt safe to walk around without my husband for a little. However I will not be traveling there again."

The anger of the Aznazian public was also echoed in the Senate Chambers today as Senators sat down for an emergency meeting to discuss the issues. Some senator's views ranged from an embargo of Vekalse to sampling not doing anything. They Senate will debate today about what will be done but they did release a statement calling for all Aznazians to exercise caution in Vekalse and to leave the country if possible due to 'the unsafe environment developing in Vekalse'. The Chancellor also thanked Rezua and Rhodevus today for their support and called for other nations to denounce Vekalse and Zelonaya Iva for their unwarranted actions.

8 Dead, 9 Wounded in Attack in Karn Morhen!

---

Karn Morhen, Cill Airne - The Cill Airiochin Defense League (CADL) is known for it's extremist attitudes against the Ventismarian Union and immigrants. "Cill Airne for the Cill Airiochin" being the organisation's slogan, it is no surprise they are rarely welcomed wherever they are. The CADL is known for it's protests against government decisions, and typically go through legal channels to ensure its members are not arrested during any protests. However, when approximately 200 members of the CADL began to protest outside the Provincial Capitol Building in the city of Karn Morhen, Kerwyn and Tywyn Province Police were quickly deployed to disperse the unplanned protest. At 0845 this morning Police began to form a line and put several local businesses on lockdown. By 0900 chaos had erupted, with members of the CADL running through the streets, throwing stones and other blunt objects at the police, windows and anyone unfortunate enough to be on the street. Two of these businesses were targetted in particular. La Vue Grandiose, a hair and nail salon owned by d'Fleuvien immigrants, and the Golden Dragon, a Kaimingese-style restaurant also owned by Kaimingese immigrants. Despite being on lockdown CADL members broke the glass windows in both businesses, storming inside. Several patrons of both businesses were injured during the attacks, but the owners were dragged into the streets. Police Chief Jorgy McMan told Seachtain, "the executions were brutal, and clearly meant to send a message to any immigrant business owner: they are not welcome here." Three d'Fleuviens, Jacques (48) and Marie (49) Bonheur and their 16-year-old son (unnamed) were killed in the streets before the CADL members moved a block away to target the Golden Dragon, where the owner and 3 employees were also dragged into the street before being executed. This is the first time the CADL has acted criminally, and PC McMan has told the Associated Press the motivations for such attacks remain unknown. Along with the six immigrants murdered, two police officers lost their lives whilst attempting to apprehend members of the CADL. Three police officers remain in critical condition in a nearby hospital along with six patrons of the Golden Dragon and La Vue Grandiose.

Prime Minister Mary McCallister has called these acts a tragedy unlike any before in Cill Airne's History. She has issued an order for Military Police to be deployed to Karn Morhen to work alongside Civilian Police during the investigation, peacekeeping and eventually apprehension of anyone involved in these murders. A curfew has been implemented for the city of Karn Morhen while most businesses have remained closed all day. Schools have cancelled for the remainder of the week fearing for the safety of any children. Parliament is due to meet tomorrow for an emergency session in which it will debate criminalising the CADL following these attacks. The CADL had a planend protest in Cill Airne's national capital, Kingsbridge, early next week but have been informed that all protests are cancelled pending investigation and parliamentary debate. PC McMan has stated local police have a list of suspects for those directly involve in the murders and believes arrests will be made by the end of this week.

"Libertarians" win a sizable portion of Senate Seats and Vow to Focus on Aznazia
By: Remy La Salle

UPDATED: 4 Pm June 28th

After the votes were counted the new Aznazian Senate was voted into their positions. What shocked many political analysts was the spike in "libertarian" and isolationist politicians. After the tragedy in Senkaria many Aznazias expressed doubt over the current Government's ability to handle foreign affairs. The Aznazian economic downturn from denunciations and the nuclear incident in Senkaria. As a result the Senate is now made up of a large number of Senators who would describe themselves as either "isolationist" or cautious when it comes to foreign force projection.

"We have far too many alliances", said Henry McCollum; a self professed Libertarian, at his election speech. "The Senate WAS too trigger happy and the Chancellor still is, which is why you all elected me. We can work to build a better Aznazia based around a hands off approach to foreign policy and the economy where we don't go around like cowboys any more or place restrictive regulations on our businesses who can not compete against Divergia. My first proposal as Senator will be to withdraw Aznazia from any defensive pacts that we have. I do believe that we can still defend our friends but we should not be legally bound to it. My second bill will be to cut military spending by 40% and it wlll not be put towards any type of business oriented research into clean energy or welfare. Instead we will give that money back to the people by reducing taxes. My third bill will be to legalize all drugs so we can end the War on Drugs that has waster billions of Aznotes."

The Chancellor also spoke today after the election was over and congratulated all those elected.

"I welcome all those elected into office. We as a Republic need new ideas and representatives to reflect the opinions of the people. However I ask them to consider our obligations to our allies and to the people of our world in being an open and cooperative nation instead of a closed and inward looking nation.

d'Fleuvien Navy increasing presence in the Centismar Sea| It's no secret relations with Vekalse, Vukmire and Serra were never good but the recent deportation of Aznazians and Rezuans from Vekalse struck deeply into the decision makers of the d'Fleuvien Central Command. Feeling the ever increasing threat of the southern countries the central command decided to increase naval presence in the sea between Vekalse and d'Fleuves. The ships assigned to patrol are not known to the public yet and the information about them is kept secret but it was confirmed by bystanders that the Maxéne Class Aircraft Carrier has relocated from the coast of Yasra to the Centismar sea closer to home. The Central Command notes Vekalse's worrisome involvement in the South Sunrisian Wargames and most of all, Vekalse's support of Rodrania's nuclear test which was met with heavy criticism by d'Fleuvien politicians. Our reporters also found Allentyrian ships and crew members working along side d'Fleuviens which might suggest Allentyr's involvement in the operation.

The Maxéne Class is the largest ship in the d'Fleuvien navy and the only aircraft carrier currently in service, run by nuclear engines and hosts the high naval command as one of the capital ships of the navy. Recently it has been operating near the coast of Yasra to help in humanitarian air missions and as a secure and safe base of operations for the Yasiri and d'Fleuvien militaries in the region. Now it has been redeployed to help defend the Centismar Sea.

The Central Command did note that the increasing patrols are nothing to be worried about from the international community as they won't interfere with international trade and have been called to hold their fire and not engage any targets until the highest command repels that decision. All engagements must be done by securing ships and moving them to the closest port where they will be investigated legally.

National approval ratings of President Vidd Āmore remain high ahead of the election season

With another presidential election approaching Creperia soon, experts predict re-election for the incumbent President Vidd Āmore due to his strong and growing popularity

As the not-too-distant neighbor Smoya is preparing for a hot election season, a similar time is approaching our country Creperia as well. The Liberal President Vidd Āmore remains highly popular among the citizens, in fact, being among the Presidents with the highest approval rating. Although every head of state in the post-dictatorship Creperia remains loved and respected, as the people recognize that each of them has made effective contributions towards pushing the country forward, many still refer to President Āmore as an exceptional case.

Out of the 4 Presidents that the Democratic Republic has had so far, President Vidd Āmore is currently said to be the most popular, even surpassing Creperia’s first democratically-elected head of state in the post-dictatorship Creperia – Nikk Korsān. Passionate supporters say that out of all 4 Presidents, Āmore has simply been the one, who knows best what he is doing, while skeptics and opponents say that he simply got lucky and became President, when the majority of harshest problems in the post-dictatorship Creperia had already been dealt with by other heads of state. In any case, it is up to every citizen to judge on their own.

Nevertheless, reality remains reality, law remains law and the Creperian Constitution remains above all. Despite so many citizens possibly saying that the incumbent President Vidd Āmore could remain the head of state for life, his first term is approaching its’ conclusion, which means that it is time for potential candidates to take battle positions and prepare to campaign in the approaching presidential race. Every major political party in Creperia is already picking out their nominee for the election, independent candidates had already begun popping up, former and still-eligible Presidents are expressing interest in trying to run for the highest office again and President Vidd Āmore has confirmed that he would indeed be running for re-election. In other words, this is going to be yet another exciting election season.
