Rhodevus Lifts Ban of the ZENN Car


Model 2 ZENN Car, released in 2014

The ZENN Car, standing for Zero Emission, No Noise Car, was first released in the Brevin International Car Show in late 2006. During the show, it was able to be tested and driven on a closed circuit by any person wishing to see the vehicle and hear; or not hear the car go. Back then, the electric range of the car was a little over 64 kilometers with a max speed of 30 km/h. Because of this, as well as its silent engine, it was banned all across Rhodevus for potentially being unsafe, as well as not meeting certain speed guidelines.

But a decade later, with four new models of the car, the ban has officially been lifted in Rhodevus. Well, mostly lifted. While the ZENN Car is still not allowed to be driven on open streets and highways, it will now be used by universities and colleges across the country as resource vehicles and other such transport vehicles around campuses. The latest range of this vehicle is 200 km, still short of the 250 km range minimum for all electric vehicles, with a max speed of only 60 km/h. Still too slow for the open roads, the ZENN Car has improved greatly since the first introduction, and still boasts zero emissions and little to no noise pollution.

What else is incredible about the car, is that its charger is a simple plug, like those found on many cable extensions which can be bought in near every store. The charger can be plugged in to any outlet and will be given a full charge in under an hour, a record breaking speed. While this car is still a long way from being road ready, the lifted complete ban of the vehicles in Rhodevus has shown the world that these vehicles are nearly ready for public consumption. In the few days since the lifting of the ban, ZENN Manufacturer Inc. has already sold 145 vehicles, blowing away passed sales record of 34 cars in one year.

Medals of Honor granted to Creperian special forces operatives, who recently took down General Spess Āncora

Creperia holds another honoring ceremony, this time granting medals to the heroic operatives of the special forces, who successfully carried out the latest mission of taking down General Spess Āncora in Hasnak

---

A beautiful honorary ceremony was held in Miraya today. The nation watched as President Alcc Laēta personally granted Medals of Honor to Creperian special forces operatives, who recently participated in an important secret mission in Hasnak, where they hunted down the state’s most wanted man – General Spess Āncora. Āncora led a short-lived military junta, which claimed power in Creperia following a military coup against a democratic government, with the dictatorship itself eventually meeting its end in the Blue Revolution. The former General has been recognized as a national security threat and cooperated with the international terrorist organization – the Bannerless Brotherhood, like planning a second takeover of power in our country, a threat which was averted by the heroic actions of the brave men, who took him out and who are being honored country-wide today. The ceremony took place in the outside territory of the State Palace and was the latest in a series of identical ceremonies that had taken place there before. In the past, identical events were held as well, where the incumbent Creperian President personally granted Medals of Honor to the heroes of the Creperian–Sunrisian War, Domestic War on Terrorism, Liberation of Shawata, War on ABS, MDF Insurgency, FNU Insurgency, Latin Corentian Drug Wars and eventually the Insurgency in Sunrisia, once Creperia‘s covert support for SRA rebels was admitted from the past.

Same-Sex Marriage Law In The Works In Sunrisia

As promised by the Béâtídá administration after healthcare and education reforms, as well as the liberalization of the multiple citizenship law, Sunrisian legislators are now working on the official same-sex marriage law in order to finally put the social issue to rest. The original intention was to follow the example of the neighboring Creperia and hold a national referendum in Sunrisia, in order to know whether the citizens would support such a law. Nevertheless, a series of polls, which are being conducted frequently on the issue, show an overwhelming 97% of Sunrisians approving of the LGBT and the legality of same-sex marriage, with the number continuing to rise even more with every new poll and survey.

With Sunrisia already having held a series of important referendums in our recent national history, a decision was made to resolve the dilemma much earlier and have both the Supreme Court and the parliament push the final buttons. So far, this is the plan and the legislation is still being worked on, however, public surveys and polling will continue to be conducted, resuming the questioning of the Sunrisian populace on the same-sex marriage and the LGBT, as well as asking people on whether they would be okay with such law simply being conducted or whether they would want a national referendum on the matter. All of this important work will be conducted simultaneously and with care.

Currently, Sunrisia only recognizes civil unions, domestic partnerships and all other rights of our country’s LGBT community, yet marriages themselves are not yet being offered or conducted in Sunrisia, with our citizens usually going to marry in Creperia and Edereon and returning back to live within a same-sex marriage recognized by the state. Although basically all necessary rights are provided and conditions are set to make life easier for the LGBT community, that one last extra step of actually making the marriage itself legal has not yet been taken, but the government will now finally openly address, not having looked at it in the past, as it was not as large of a social dilemma in the past. Additional laws are also set to be made to address the rights of transsexual people.

Sunrisia Holds Military Drills With Dormill And Stiura, And Noctaria

Sunrisia will be holding another set of joint military exercises and war games, scheduled to begin in the upcoming days. The two separate sets of drills will take place with the participation of Sunrisia and two partner countries, planned to be held in two separate parts of Sunalaya simultaneously. The new set of military exercises and war games come shortly after Sunrisia concluded identical procedures with its two neighboring countries – Creperia and Edereon.

The first set of drills will be held with Dormill and Stiura and will take place in western Ventismar, focused within Dormill-Stiuraian sovereign borders for the most part and transitioning into neutral international waters and airspace as well. The other exercises will be held jointly with Noctaria in eastern Ophion and will be concentrated within Noctaria’s sovereign borders. Both drills will be held with the inclusion of a full testing program, observing cooperation on all fronts – land, aerial and maritime. The military exercises and war games will show how the Stiuraian–Sunrisian and Noctarian–Sunrisian armies on the ground, navies in the seas and the air forces in the skies are able to work together in different scenarios and under different conditions.

Elaborating more on the basis behind the drills, the government has stated that in both cases the military exercises and war games are said to be of defensive character, concentrated on the development of effective measures on how to ensure the security of Dormill and Stiura, and Noctaria. Military officials said that many simulated scenarios will be about responding to hypothetical external and internal threats to Dormill and Stiura, and Noctaria. The simulated threats would be – terrorism which can attack both from inside and out, and rogue nations engaging in acts of aggression against other countries. The latter is primarily an external threat, unless hybrid warfare is included, something that defensive and preventive measures against will also be developed.

TU Stokfort: Bacteria Indicating Whether Food Is Spoilt

The bacteria on the sticker are yellow: indicating the food is edible

Stokfort-- The average Lindian consumer throws away foods right after they pass the best before date that is on the package of their food. Even though the food might still not be spoilt.

A team of students at the Technical University of Stokfort have developed a sticker that houses bacteria whom change colour depending on the food quality.

The students genetically engineered a species of bacteria called Bacillus subtillis, a commonly used bacteria for research, to change their colour to a bright shade of blue when they detected compounds that would be released when food would go bad or when mold began to grow.

The sticker can be used after applying water to it and sticking it to the product. Within a few minutes the sticker will change to yellow, indicating the food is still safe to eat, or to blue, indicating spoilt food. The sticker allows the chemical compounds to enter, however bacteria can't get out.

Even though the sticker is safe, it is not yet ready for use within stores. The species of bacteria used are not able to withstand low temperatures, like in a fridge. However, the team of student notes that with further funding the same method can be applied to bacteria who are able to withstand such temperatures.

Axon in its pursuit of building a perversive data layer, has constructed numerous data centers all over Sunalaya, and has ramped up hiring getting some of Sunalaya's best engineers, and is further developing it's A Drive products, Eserlan seems to want to dominate in 3 verticals, media via Ranokea it's streaming division, Eseral, it's electronics division, and finally Es.Com it's telecommunications division. All of these are threatened by foreign firms, especially the Aznazian AP&T and Time Weaner Merger which already threatens two verticals. It interesting to see Eserlan will respond to this in the conference. Kamia will work to solidify its precedence in the industry, potentially build a rival to Gigahard’s Search. It'll be interesting to see!”
The Esotan Times will attend the event tomorrow on a live blog. Stay tuned!

Police Officers Across The Country Are Staging Protests and Walks To Show Anger Over Krump, Pearson Delivers Wake Up Call

Police officers in Nuranto conduct a walk to the city's center to hold a gathering and mass protest.

Due to the the major budget cuts that has recently happened under Prime Minister Winston Krump, thousands of police officers around the country have decided that they will not stand for this action taken against their departments. Starting today, many of those who carry a badge and a gun have swapped their utility belts for a picket sign. The largest gathering seems to be concentrated in the cities of Nuranto, Albany City, and Ventura City, where the departments of those cities have many officers working in them and rely heavily on support from the federal government for funding. The Union of Law Enforcement Officers, the largest union representing the interest of those in the police, has encouraged these strikes and protest to voice their demand for the funds to reinstate. A week ago, the ULEO recently had elected a new Union Head, a police captain from Ventura City named Karen Pearson, who has spoken out at not only Krump's sheer will to slash the government, but also his plausible allegations to having ties with criminal organizations, with a possibly of ties with terrorists as well. Pearson made a speech in front of the Ventura City police Headquarters yesterdays, calling all who serve on the thin blue line to rise up and stand with their fellow officers and citizens against a great injustice that many believe was created by Krump's "slash and tax" polices.

"To all my fellow citizens, fellow officers, fellow brethren, we are now entering a new period of uncertainty for the everyday common person, to such an extent that our great nation is being sold out and swept away from right under our feet. The prime minster, a man named Winston Krump, has shown to us, that he does not care for the common safety and security that we take for granted here. Not only is he taking away our safety and security, but he has plans to start slowly chipping away at everything else that we care for about this country of ours, like our clean air, clean water, worker's rights, healthcare, education, among other things. I believe his intentions are very simple, to turn our great nation into a corporate state where him and the elite reap all the awards, while the rest of us are left to fend for ourselves. Now, I question I want to ask, a question that we're all asking now is "What's with these cuts?". We already had a surplus with the right amount of funding, we weren't overspending on anything, and we could have introduced better programs that streamline what we already have. So leaves us, as Belanticans, to question your true motives, Mr. Krump, to challenge your plans, as if you are up to something that you shouldn't be. I believe that you are a criminal who gets away with far too much, you are someone that hasn't paid a cent in income tax for the last 20 years that you have ran your chain of hotels and resorts, and I wonder why you haven't been paying your fair share, it makes you have guilty written across your face. It makes me have the belief that you are funneling that money to either yourself, you rich friends, or to someone we have no idea of, and it's raising suspicions about your integrity as a politician. And this morning, I saw something that really angered me, is your recent tax code changes. How come that the richest Belanticans only have to pay a maximum of 11% in federal taxes while I, a middle class civil servant who has done more to help people than you ever did, end up now having to pay 32% as opposed to only 25%? Last time I checked, the wealthy payed 47% of their income, and that was fine in their books. Now all of a sudden, Krump decided to give them a large break while the rest of us have to pick up the slack. It is utterly absurd and disgraceful to the people of our nation, to our forefathers, to our land itself, for Krump to do this. Now, it is our time as one nation, not as civilians, not as police officers, not as dissenters, to come together as one and take a stand against Krump and his horrible ideas and polices he wants to inflict on us for the benefit of the few and powerful, not the regular people like you and me, who work hard everyday to help make this country what it is today. I ask for anyone willing, and for those who have sworn to protect and serve the people and the land, like I have, to go out there and make a stand for against Krump, to show that we are not pleased with him, that we are upset with him, that we will not back down from this. I wish us that we will be the victors in the end. It may be odd to see us, the men and women in the blue and black uniforms to be protesting ourselves, but we are doing it for the sake of the nation we are proud to call 'home'. It is time to set things right!"

Protestors from a smaller police union in Warrentown, New Albany, Krump's hometown.

While delivering this speech, the young police captain was cheered on for what many believe are very truthful words. The people cheering Pearson were either fellow officers or protestors. After conducting it, she picked up a sin herself and joined up with several other protesters in uniform to show their frustration with the Krump administration's plans and actions. There is still no words from Krump or any of his entourage, but we can assume that he would take Pearson's words as an attack and deliver some kind of message back to the protestors. Until then, we must keep waiting to see what happens. Crime may go up for the duration, since many officers around the country our joining forces to condemn Krump for his actions, believe it's almost criminal for what he had done to the nation.

Vice president Karl Abraham shows support for Winston Krump


Will they be able to stump the Krump?

After Karl Abraham returned to the presidential palace from an "unexpected urgency" regarding his personal life, he demonstrated support for Belantica's new and possibly, in the near future, former prime minister, Winston Krump.

"I know Mr. Krump is not being very popular among Belanticans right now, and that's understandable. He wants to cut taxes, affecting the police and the military, which are among the only public institutions we Minarchen defend", affirms Abraham. "Instead, we'd advise him to cut less essential public services. Roads for example. Poorer citizens who can't afford a car and prefer to walk or catch a metro instead of a bus or a taxi, why they should care about the roads? The only people who should pay for roads are the ones who use them, not everybody. And what about public transportation? Why don't you leave those entirely to private companies? Why don't you leave the most essential public services with the current budget and leave the other ones for the private industry to take care?"

The Atlas Bank Corporation in
central Niemandsland City,
before being renovated

When asked about some people's recent theories of Krump hiding money supposed to be collected through taxes in the Atlas Bank Corporation, pioneer of Minarchis' tax haven fame, he simply responded "they're a private corporation, we can't speak for them".

Abraham also addressed a commentary made by police captain from Ventura City Karen Pearson: "[…] the richest Belanticans only have to pay a maximum of 11% in federal taxes while I, a middle class civil servant who has done more to help people than you ever did, end up now having to pay 32% as opposed to only 25%? […] the wealthy payed 47% of their income, and that was fine in their books." According to Karl, "Having different income taxes depending on the citizens' earnings is already an error. The rich shouldn't pay a higher or lower percentage than the poorer slice of the population, and vice versa. We already use percentages exactly for that, proportion. Everyone must pay the same percentual value to the government, and that's it."

Finally, the vice president said Krump should make "less absurd" policies, and that the police force in Belantica "should focus more on their jobs, keeping citizens safe and comfortable, and leave the problem for the opposition politicians, otherwise they are just being hypocritical and self-centered". Still, he affirmed Krump will be a great PM in case he doesn't take very unpopular measures.

CHAIRMAN MALIN CHOSES SUCCESSOR, COMMENTS ON CONFLICT IN KAIMING


Chairman Malin and his appointed successor, Bojek Olenev
Greetings citizens! Stunning news today from Nirnsk as the government has officially confirmed rumors that Chairman Malin successor has been chosen. The results will suprise you.

LIVE FROM NIRNSK:
"Greetings, my beloved countrymen. This is your chairman speaking. As you all know, I have guided this country through a turbulent and dangerous time in our country's history, through threats of invasion by Imperialist Power's in the west, to the communists next door. I have struggled to lead our nation to a glorious and prosperous future, but, I'm afraid I'm getting too old for that."
*crowd laughs*
"That is why we called you all here, to show you who your next leader will be. Please, give Ivaylo Porovich a warm welcome."
*As the crowd applauds, a young man walks onto stage.*
"Some of you may not know this man, which is understandable. He was an unknown politician, relegated to the back benches of many discussions within the previous regime's parliament. But this man, he helped me, and my supporters take our country back from the Duke's Old Regime. This man helped us pit this country where it is now, on the cusp of greatness. I'd like to let him have a few words."
"Thank you Chairman. Just 5 years ago, I never thought I'd be right here, ready to lead the greatest country in the world. I never thought I would gain the love and trust of over 30 million people, I was just a back bencher. But this man, he opened my eyes to the struggle of our people. He opened my eyes to the blatant communist incursions into pur society, so I helped him put a stop to it. Fellow Targovians, allow me to be a leader to all of you, be you white, or black. Whether you are an Easterner, or were born in the cities. Whether you are Christianor not. You are all Targovians, no Empire or Communist nation can ever take that away from you."
*the crowd cheers and applauds as he steps away from the mic*
"Truely, I picked the right man for the job! Now. Many of you are concerned about the conflict in Kaiming, fear not. I will NOT get Targovia involved in this war, it is a war between the Communist scum and the ever expansionist powers in the West. At the same time, I will not allow this war to come to our soil, not while I'm still Chairman. Let them fight it out, and we shall do what we must to whoever wins the war."

Mass Renewal of Strategic Alliances causes Uproar among population

Protesters Marching in Schlitten, Wallenstein
The failure of the call of peace between Westseaxnaland and Kaiming, in conjunction with Congress' recent raising of DEFCON to level 3 has sparked a series of protests in Dormill and Stiura. These have crossed many party lines and has embraced multiple ideologies, many people have said this is the fault of Labor's failure to broker a peace, then perform a 180 by going against their platform in renewing a multitude of strategic alliances among many nations. Police have reported that these protests have remained peaceful so far, and that no complications have arisen as a result of these protests.

One among the protesters had this to say when they were interviewed today

This government has been nothing but terrible for the longest time. It's been this way since 2012, when those fake liberals up in the Labor Party finally took control of the National Congress. When they took the reigns from the Conservatives, everybody thought they were for change, that they were going to bring the Republics to a new, progressive age for our nation. What we got was nothing more than what the Conservatives gave us for 10 Years, broken promises and an uncertain future for everybody.

What's worse is that Labor made us feel weak in the face of danger by offering to broker peace between warring nations and then running to the "great powers" of Rhodevus, Aznazia, the Soviets, Sunrisia, and so on. This is pathetic of our leadership that we can't even stand up for ourselves. The worst part is that we've signed many petitions to the government to make a more assertive position in Ventismar, especially against the VSSA and other nations that run around like big shit.

Alongside that, just before this year's National Congress adjourned, it was announced that both Fort Boissieux and its airbase will be reopened as international bases for their new allies.

A statement made by Grand Councilman Faas McCleary has emphasized the possibilities of this now international military base:

This base will serve as a new launching point for our allies around the world. As of now, most of its remodeling is complete, with additional barracks and hangars being installed over the coming days. It is our wish that our allies, new and old, take ample advantage of these new facilities for their uses in the betterment of the mutual defense of the Sovereign United Republics and Ventismar as a whole.

As this 2016 National Congress comes to a close, and the final bills are voted on, let us remember the goal we have been given 177 years ago, "...[I]n the name of Protecting the Sovereignty of the sovereign republics of Dormill and Stiura." and this protection of these Republics have been a constant thing we have been working towards accomplishing, and this new base will be one more step in finally realizing that goal.

Then as more people voted for it. This made Bedesnikov angry, the reason he got mad was due to him having grandchildren in a college and have been using "sad rooms".

Zhujiang and its surrounding areas have been liberated after a week long battle took place. The Ministry of Defence has confirmed 9 Westseaxen Soldiers have died, and 1 Acadian Soldier. The MOD estimates as many as 350 Kaimingese soldiers in the People's Liberation Army Ground Forces were killed during the liberation.

Surrounding the city of Zhujiang 6 Laogai were discovered. The official status of Laogai were based on rumours alone with the Communist Party officially denying their existence. Prisoners liberated from the Laogai by the Westseaxen Military forces stated there are "hundreds across Kaiming." They appear to range from Prison Facilities to farms. All involve labour and reeducation.

One man sentenced to one of the Laogai that was liberated stated "men who were in some what good health are being taken to be used as soldiers. They're being given a gun and told "kill or be killed. If you live you will be pardoned of your past crimes." The use of prisoners as soldiers is deeply concerning due to their lack of training.

General Sir Thomas Pierce has stated he is encouraging the Government to consider peace talks now that the city has been liberated in light of this recent discovery. "It doesn't bode well, fighting an enemy who is willing to sacrifice their own citizens. No matter how hard we fight, this isn't going to be a clean war if we're fighting against farmers forced to hold a gun."

Parliament is currently considering General Sir Pierce's words. Despite the government avowing to overthrow the Communist Regime, it is now apparent that it will come with great cost to civilian life.

Others, however, have expressed concerns if peace is made now. Sherry Monroe, MP and the Secretary of State for Justice, told WBC, "We have discovered the Laogai are more than mere rumour and anti-Communist propaganda. We can now estimate that, based on the population of these Laogai we have liberated, as many as 8,100,000, or 2% of Kaiming's population, could be working as slaves in the Laogai system. We simply cannot give up until such a despicable system is overthrown."

Others, however, believe a peace treaty could include the abolition of the Laogai system with supervision to ensure it is enforced.

Parliament is set to debate negotiating a peace treaty on Monday, 28 November.

Miraya Defense Assistance Alignment (MDAA) is formed

The world’s newest military alliance and collective security pact – the Miraya Defense Assistance Alignment or MDAA has been established under the Treaty of Miraya

---

---

Sunalaya’s newest military alliance has been born today from Creperia’s capital city – Miraya. After another trilateral gathering between the leaders and representatives of Creperia, Sunrisia and Edereon, the 3 countries have officially signed – the Treaty of Miraya, which has officially established the fresh mutual defense and collective security pact – the Miraya Defense Assistance Alignment, also known as MDAA or the Miraya Pact for short. The alliance was created by the proposal of our country Creperia, as talks were initiated and had been taking place between the 3 western Corentian countries for a while, with the climactic finale having been reached today, as the Treaty of Miraya received historic signatures.

President Alcc Laēta welcomed Sunrisia’s President Sánît Béâtídá and Edereon’s Prime Minister Dac Antésigañ in Miraya, where the treaty was signed in the State Palace. The Treaty of Miraya did include some trade agreements which enhanced economic cooperation between the 3 countries, however, its primary focus was ultimately the establishment of a military alliance. In the follow-up press conference after the signing, where the President of Creperia, President of Sunrisia and the Prime Minister of Edereon participated, the 3 leaders have stated that collective defense is the primary principal of the newly-founded MDAA and that an attack on one member would equal an attack on all members of MDAA simultaneously. It has been implied that collective defense obligations may apply not just against external threats, but also internal ones, in case a member state is recognized as being under a serious existential danger.

When asked about whether MDAA would grow in the future, the leaders said that membership doors will be open, but criteria may have to be met in order to join. An early theory has been developed by political analysts that MDAA is an answer to VSSA, which the administration of President Alcc Laēta ambiguously neither certainly confirmed nor denied.

The Federal Council proposal is approved, the RLPP party is defunct


Citizens of the town of Weizengarten from the Ragamuffin province, which suffered an invasion attempt by the Strigian rebels and is near many taken over farms, protesting against the government's apparent refusal from preventing Strigiformia from being officially formed as it was being done before

The plans for a political reform in Minarchismusland, changing from a presidential to a directorial system, were approved today by the Bundessenat, after being first approved by the Abgeordnetenkammer and popular vote. After the RLPP party being forbidden from continuing its operations, all senator and representative candidates affiliated with the party will not be able to run for elections anymore during the current year, and will go through investigations, along with the other members of the party. Instead of each province having one senator by party, they will now have two, changing from a total of 4 senators by province to 6, now that there are only 3 functioning political parties. All of them will still be part of the Provincial Council.

As for the new Federal Council, no new departments will be added. The ministers of Defense, Foreign Affairs and Law & Order will run for a reelection, while the ministers of Home Affairs and Finance already have been reelected 4 years ago. The president won't indicate a minister candidate of each party anymore, so potential candidates can run for election freely.

The president of RLPP, Hans von Lindemann (nephew of Karl von Lindemann, one of the most influential presidents belonging to the LFP), has been arrested at 7:21 am today for accusations of ties with terrorism. Peace talks may be going on with Strigiformia, but their supporters here won't be left forgotten. Meanwhile, LFP representative Astrid Ölberg, who the president von Gutenberg is engaged to, will run for senator in Keisersland. Her cousin, Anna Ölberg, is a senator of Niemandsland and president of the Bundessenat.

"Ludwig is recovering quick", says his brother Hans von Gutenberg


Ludwig during his brother's speech, in which he didn't say anything to the press

After saying his brother was recovering well, CEO of Arcadia Hotels, Hans von Gutenberg, has given further details to the press about president Gutenberg's recovery from a stroke.

"He still is with some post-stroke conditions, but the doctors say most of them will go away and soon they will be minimal", said the CEO. According to him, Ludwig still has some difficulty to walk, and has to be assisted to do so most of the time. "He also has some problem with balance, and the fact he lost his right arm due to an assassination attempt makes it harder for Ludwig to hold onto something if he loses balance", affirms Hans.

Von Gutenberg will still continue his election campaign (for the Chancellor position), now that it has been postponed to mid-December. Vice Karl Abraham will go to rallies in his place, who is now also going to run for minister of Home Affairs, as he'll lose his vice president status with the new directorial system, where Ludwig's vice will be one of the ministers (unless he succeeds in his campaign). "I probably will stop being Mr. Gutenberg's vice this January, but I still will help him get reelected, as the max he can do is a few TV ads, posters and maybe a few press conferences if he gets better quickly", said Karl.

Vukmiri Assets Seen Within Varosa

Soldiers of the Vukmiri Empire Walking in a Border Village

Recently Vukmiri soldiers and land vehicles have been seen within Varosa with no indication of conflict. Local authorities and military units have not had any problems with these foreign assets within the country, indicating that the government has allowed this move to pertain peace between both countries.

This could bring some alarm for other nations as most would not have forseen a liberal country allowing a near-identical fascist country permission to station military units inside their borders. Though most forget that Varosa takes peaceful and pacficist diplomatic means to avoid conflict as much as possible.

Few speculate this could snowball exponentially as later it could just be more than soldiers but also tanks, armored personnel carriers, fighter jets, bombers and so on. With this in mind others fear that this could bring Varosa into a larger war it had no predicted in the feature.

MDAA Is Born: Sunrisia Becomes One Of The Three Founding Members Of The Newest Military Alliance

The world has recently witnessed the birth of Sunalaya’s newest international military alliance, known by the full name of the Miraya Defense Assistance Alignment, but also known under the shorter names of MDAA or the Miraya Pact. The military bloc was founded by signing the Treaty of Miraya, which as its name suggests, was signed in the city of Miraya, the national capital of the neighboring Creperia. The treaty contained a lot of terms, including enhanced trade between the three countries that had currently signed the agreement, yet the primary focus was the establishment of MDAA. The current signatories and founding members of MDAA are Creperia, Edereon and Sunrisia, which are the only present components of the alliance, however, in the follow-up press conference in Creperia’s State Palace, the media was interested to know whether MDAA would grow beyond the three founding members or whether it was only an alliance created for Western Corentian security. The answer to the question was given by the President of Creperia – Alcc Laēta, who stated that new members and the growth of the alliance is a possibility, however, “criteria” will have to be met in order to join.

Despite three current members of MDAA being credited as founding members of the alliance, the project in its early development stages, was overall the idea of Creperia, which proposed the establishment of the new military bloc. The establishment of the alliance and the terms of the treaty creating it have been in negotiations for a while and the Creperian leadership saw Sunrisia and Edereon as immediate contenders, giving the warm Creperian–Sunrisian relationship and how recent cooperation with the inclusion of Edereon has helped strengthen collective security in the eyes of arising threats and also find and take down General Spess Āncora. MDAA and the obligations under the alliance take the trilateral cooperation a step further, somewhere where the countries have been hinting that the relationship might eventually transition to. The primary principal of the alliance will be that an attack on one member will be considered an attack on MDAA as a whole, with all members responding simultaneously. It was also hinted that the collective defense principal may apply not just to external threats, but to internal ones, in case a member state comes under a serious danger to its national security. Political crises and revolutionary events will likely be excluded and will not apply, however, specific situations will also have to be examined. In the new conference in Miraya, President Sánît Béâtídá said:

“The presence of Sunrisian soldiers and bases in Creperia and Edereon was already a direct symbol of our country’s commitment to the defense and security of our two neighbors, whom we today consider to be our closest allies. Sunrisians do believe the principal that it is better to give than to receive, however, the creation of MDAA shows that apart from just an honor code or verbal promises to somehow “repay” Sunrisia, even though we made not requests for it, our allies actually do want to give us a solid confirmation to support Sunrisia as much as we support them. Therefore, MDAA has been founded, which will function as a covenant promising that we are all equally ready to stand with each other against any threats. It is no longer just in words, but also functions as a foundation for our new alliance, a foundation that we will have to protect and make sure that it keeps standing, in order for MDAA to resume its existence in the future. If we look at it from a different point of view, it does not need to be looked at just as proof of a fairly shared commitment, where one side would not have to carry the largest responsibility alone, but also as a fair balancing of power. Concerns of any possible hegemony and prevalence of one side over others can now be eradicated, as we will all be equal in this team that we have created.”

Attempted Assassin Arrested In Lujek


"Ris" special forces troops just a few minutes before raid into the house began.

Lujek, Chemensia - Past september, the president was attacked by a sniper in Selduvye. Today, the man who committed the crime, has finally been arrested. Earlier today, at around 2:00 am, a unit form the Chemensian counter-terrorism battalion, named "Ris" raided a small house on the northern side of Lujek. The house was home to a Hasnaki immigrant named Ammar El-Amin. The Chemenian Agency Of National Investigation(CANI) have been looking for El-Amin for 2 1/2 months, and only recently have they found video and other evidence that El-Amin was the one who was the attempted assassin. The police found a weapon in an alley next to the North Selduvye library, the building in which the bullet was believed to be fired. They say that they were able to track him due to DNA evidence.

The police raid today had the area of Lujek evacuated and it said there were about 60 police officers on the scene, from where most news cameras were placed. The house was said to have held 26 people, for its small size. The Ris team say they were surprised there were no weapons or resistance during the raid, and it is told that there were no injuries, except when El-Amin and 2 others tried to escape in a second story back window, where 1 has injured from falling and El-Amin and the other were pulled away before they could make it out.

In the aftermath, the Ris team is being praised for the raid and most Chemensians, are very happy that they completed the mission successfully. Many would want to know what charges El-Amin faces and what he will face if guilty. Currently, we know he is a citizen of Chemensia, and it is confirmed he moved here legally from Hasnak in the year 2005 at the age of 20. The police say he will soon face a trial in the Grand National Court Of Chemensia.

MDAA is formed with Edereon as a founding member

Edereon has signed the Treaty of Miraya with Sunrisia and Creperia, greatly enhancing trade and creating a new military alliance called the Miraya Defense Assistance Alignment (MDAA). Prime Minister Dac Antésigañ travelled to Miraya, Creperia, where he signed the agreement with other two signatory countries after a period of negotiations. At the signing, Sunrisia was represented by President Sánît Béâtídá, while the host country Creperia had President Alcc Laēta lead the process. The agreement that is the Treaty of Miraya includes trade deals between Edereon, Sunrisia and Creperia, however, the birth of MDAA was the cornerstone of the treaty. The economic side of the Treaty of Miraya is balanced and does not integrate the signatory countries too much into a common economic zone where it would become more difficult to trade with the rest of the world, yet partnership was enhanced significantly. The newly founded MDAA was a Creperian idea, however, the three countries that signed the Treaty of Miraya automatically became founding members as the core making up the military bloc. MDAA would follow the system of collective security, where members would automatically come to the defense of each other against any serious threats from inside and outside.

Reichstag and Englean Christian Church Declare Abortion Illegal in the Kaiserreich, Cruise Ship Reported Missing, Kaiserliche-Marine Submarine Discovers Wreck from 1870


Reichstagspräsident von Kimmeln's Official Portrait, circa 1970


Ex-SMP (Seiner Majestät Passagierschiff) Ozean Seen Run Aground in Wilhelmshaven, Lothringen


SMY Passat Depicted Before Her Demise in 1870

Friedrichshaven, Norrdstein, Lothringen, Englean Kolonialreich -- Today the Englean Reichstag and the Englean Christian Church announced the new Imperial Decree 9355, which prohibits abortion in the Kaiserreich. This Decree has been on the table in the Reichstag for nearly 40 years, originally brought up when Max von Kimmeln became Senator representing Neu-Steinland in 1970. Recently the Englean Christian Church has supported this decree, and this had placed the decree back onto the urgent issues within the Reichstag. After the decree was brought up to the Senators today, it passed with an unbelievable percentage of 93% for the bill. Imperial Decree 9355 states that abortion is illegal in all cases except if needed to save the mother and in cases of the baby being in severe danger or life-threatening situations. It is set to be ratified tomorrow, and much of the nation is in support of this law. This also comes after the recent elections within Newellia, which proclaimed abortion legal; to which many Engleans find wrong in the most recent Adler polls. It is estimated that many Western nations will condemn this law, because of their liberal tendencies.

In other news from Lothringen, a decommissioned cruise liner has been reported to have gone missing. The ex-SMP Ozean was a cruise liner built in 1969, and was decommissioned in 2010 after running aground in Wilhelmshaven, Lothringen. The company that bought the rights to scrap the vessel was Lothringen Holdings, GmbH; and reported the vessel missing from their mooring field at 06:00 hours this morning. The ship was still able to run under self-power, but her hull was badly worn from weathering. It is unknown where this vessel might have gone, but the Abwehr suspects that the group who recently discovered a nuclear weapon may be responsible. The Abwehr is recommending that Ventismarian nations of Dormill and Stiura, Rezua, Newellia, and Westseaxnaland be prepared and wary of any skeptical vessels in their waters; and is declaring a State of Warning Tier 9 in Ventismar.

And finally, the Kaiserliche-Marine announced the discovery of the wreck of the SMY Passat today. This vessel was a clipper owned by the now-defunct Atlantik Corporation, which owned many of the clippers that ventured into the seas for trade. In November of 1870, the Passat was venturing from Norrdstein to Neu-Verstanden, when a large storm developed within the ocean. This storm, later named the November Storm of 1870, was a category 4 hurricane; and developed directly above the Passat. Only 5 crewmembers survived, and stated that there was a wave that exceeded "200 feet in height" and it engulfed the vessel, causing it to break apart under the immense power. Ever since then, the wreck went undiscovered for over a century. This changed today when the SMS Norrdstein was conducting drills within the waters outside of Lothringen. The sonar detected a large string of objects on the ocean floor, and this position was delivered to a research vessel that deployed a unmanned submersible to confirm. Soon after, the Passat was seen; in a large debris field. Much of her structure had been corroded, and only a small amount of cargo, her hull, and other objects could be seen. This discovery was a relief to the families who had lost a loved one on the vessel and had not known of where they died.

Edereon allows cannabis for medical purposes

The parliamentary body has liberalized laws related to cannabis use in Edereon. So far, the use of substance was almost strictly prohibited and could be used as a medical material in very special cases, however, a decision was made today to amend the law and recognize cannabis as medicine under Ederi law. From now on, the amended law permits cannabis as a prescribed drug for medical usage with almost no restrictions. Medical professionals will be entrusted under their honor code to prescribe cannabis for use in a particular form, certain calculated amounts and in cases deemed necessary. It has been recognized that as a substance cannabis has curing benefits that cannot go on unrecognized and that the era of close-mindedness must end, with Edereon needing to learn how to properly used cannabis for productive and beneficial causes under good management. Prime Minister Dac Antésigañ spoke in favor of the new law.

Sunrisia Considers To Propose A Plan For MDAA Humanitarian Efforts

Sunrisian diplomats are talking about the possibility of proposing an action plan for MDAA not just to function as a military alliance of collective defense, but also to launch humanitarian programs around the world. Sunrisia currently has an active global humanitarian program launched to aid the poorer parts of the world as well as zones of conflict, an effort that Sunrisia has been keeping up for the majority of our modern history with changes made not just to make the effort more effective, but also to allow our country to afford it.

It is believed that the idea for MDDA humanitarian functions is inspired by past successes, when Sunrisia was able to join forces with allies on aiding the devastated parts of Sunalaya and thus the Béâtídá administration most likely has hope that a similar success story can be repeated today. The idea has not even gone into development and has come up only in a verbal form as a speculated possibility, which is why time will still have to pass to see whether the idea will go through and whether Sunrisia will be offering this possibility to our allies in MDAA. President Sánît Béâtídá himself, his advisors or any other big heads of his cabinet have not yet spoken about the possibility, however, such ideas from Aestin have been echoed by heads and members of various parties within the coalition government and even among opposition, showing that the national leadership is in solidarity with such a possibility and find agreements in it.

Even if MDAA is not approached to unite the efforts, Sunrisia will very likely continue the individual global program and resume to evolve and improve it. However, attempts to cooperate with partners and share the responsibility to aid fellow human beings will likely not stop and new success will be seen, just like in the past. Despite outlook for Sunalaya keeping up, the citizens in Sunrisia truly know that the parliamentarians are currently primarily concerned with one large domestic social dilemma that is currently in the center of Sunrisian attention among citizens and politicians – the same-sex marriage question.

Ashes of General Spess Āncora to be scattered into the ocean

Following cremation, the ashes of General Spess Āncora are set to be scattered into the ocean

---

Not too long ago the remains of the state’s most-wanted General Spess Āncora were delivered to Creperia after a covert operation by the Creperian special forces in Hasnak, which resulted with the General’s takedown as an act of self-defense by our troops, who had fire opened upon them and responded in a similar matter. As stated by the government upon the day of delivery, the remains would be cremated. The procedure took place this Friday The cremation one of the remains of General Spess Āncora happened not long after President Alcc Laēta granted Medals of Honor for their service to the special forces operatives, who participated in the mission. A spokesperson for the President has reported today that the ashes have been placed in an urn and that a Voluptaist priest is set to say a couple words as the process of escorting the passed one into another life. After that procedure, the ashes would be scattered into an ocean on the coast of western Creperia.

Public opinion among Creperians has not changed much in regards to the faith of General Spess Āncora. The regime and the military junta led by the General remain widely hated and condemned and the Blue Revolution is further regarded as a tremendous historical moment, when the people of our glorious nation were able to save our freedom, which seemed to be slipping out of our hands again. Nevertheless, many believe that if there was such a possibility, the General should have been arrested and prosecuted as the Creperian soldiers are not killers and place justice and correct methods above achieving goals through brute force without anything else. Still, many also recognize that not much choice was present in that moment and Āncora was shot because he wielded a machine gun, which he nearly killed several soldiers with and thus the operatives were forced to act in order to defend themselves. Also, looking on the flip side, many realize that the General was dangerous through his affiliation with the Bannerless Brotherhood and that his incarceration, despite being an official plan of the state, could have served as a good reason for the terrorists to try to infiltrate Creperia again and upon takeover, Āncora could have served as a good puppet.

Meanwhile, military officials have a stricter analytical position, stating that Āncora was a traitor and a serious enemy of the state, who deserved what he got, just like the former dictator, the leaders of the ‘Superior State’, the leaders of ‘Greater Faxina’ and the leaders of MDF deserved. They also stand by the position that nothing will be kept a secret from the Creperian people and that all information will be disclosed proving the danger Āncora posed. Still, even without strictly believing that the General deserved death, like the military officials claim, the popular opinion in Creperia is widely negative towards Āncora and the danger he carried is recognized, seeing to how our country’s people already had the opportunity to experience who they were dealing with, when Āncora’s was taking over, only to collapse in the Blue Revolution.
