Supreme Court In Progress Of Voting On Same-Sex Marriage Law In Sunrisia


LIVE BROADCAST


Image

Image


News from home. Our nation stands united today in support of the Sunrisian LGBT community, as the parliament has handed over the issue of same-sex marriage into the hands of the Supreme Court. The diplomats stated that the legislation on same-sex marriage law in Sunrisia has already been prepared by the legislators and that it is now time for the Supreme Court to decide whether they will allow a historic nationwide social change or whether they will insist on keeping things as they are. President Sánît Béâtídá was said to have contacted the Supreme Court justices and due to the head of state or anybody else not having a legal right to influence the Supreme Court’s decisions in any way, the President simply gave a vague statement where he said that he hoped for the Supreme Court justices to think about the Sunrisian people in that key moment when they will be making the decision and to have the citizens’ wishes in their minds and hearts, when giving that legislative verdict.

The coalition government and the parliamentarians are keeping a neutral tone and say that the legislation is “hot and ready” and that the parliament will vote based on what the Supreme Court will decide. The coalition government received criticism from some notorious Sunrisian social activists for not going the route originally planned and holding a national referendum on the matter, then allowing the Supreme Court and the parliament make a decision based on the referendum results, like it was done in Creperia, when that country legalized same-sex marriage. The diplomats responded by saying that a referendum was not needed as the Sunrisian public opinion was clear as crystal and that it was now the responsibility of the Supreme Court to show how well they listen to the people and how functional they are in making important decisions with respect to Sunrisian democracy and wishes of our citizens.

Meanwhile, millions of people across the country have flooded the streets wielding various symbols of LGBT as a show of solidarity and support for equal rights in our nation. The demonstrations are peaceful, but because of their scope and unpredictability, the authorities remain on some level of alert. The demonstrations are expected continue, until the Supreme Court makes the decision. The leaders and the more vocal members of the demonstrations have made a promised by one-sided initiative to keep the demonstrations peaceful, in order not to create an atmosphere, where the Supreme Court is blackmailed into taking a decision against their best judgment, despite so many people clearly wanting the events to take a certain awaited turn. For now, we are left with nothing, but to observe these historic developments. Stay tuned as we continue the broadcast and the coverage.

"This Is Your Final Warning"

Berylar Gazette


Among the applause for the sweeping reform around many nations to allow homosexual marriage and good reception of the band Valkyries, Prime Minsiter Franz Hoelmon had been trying to get the Sultan of Hasnak to answer his requests for a meeting. A few weeks ago, six Rezuan girls were kidnapped from a humanitarian aid trip. All but one, Kylie Alexis, have been found. It is believed that Kylie Alexis has been enslaved in Hasnak and now the Prime Minister is demanding her return. He released a statement to them, demanding a meeting. Failure to meet with him on the issue will result in a call for a USA investigation of Hasnak to find the girl.

"Sultan and government of Hasnak, listen to me well. For weeks, you have refused to listen to me. You have refused to face me and assist in the return of a Rezuan girl. Before, I did not directly blame you but your failure to cooperate now has led me to believe you have directly captured and or enslaved her. I will tell you this, this is your final warning."

"I am not playing games. I will not let another week slip by while this girl is suffering somewhere in your nation. You have been warned, and now I will ask my government and the allies of Rezua to completely embargo you. We will cut you off from the world until you comply. I will demand a USA investigation to find this girl, whether to like it or not."

"You do not have a right to hold a citizen of Rezuan as a slave. I will see to that this girl is returned before December. If you fail to listen or to even comment before the week's end, I will bring the hammer down upon you. You have one week to meet with me and return the girl.

Communist Reich Stands With Rezua: Threatens Economic Sanctions Against Hasnak
Image
An Emergency Session was called to order hours ago to discuss the situation taking place between Rezua & Hasnak

Although the harrowing crisis that was the attempted Coup against the standing government of the Communist Reich was still fresh in the minds of many Bolsheviks. The Communist Reich, in an attempt to further warm relations with Rezua in their part of putting an end to the Kiez Bannerless Brotherhood has officially decided to stand alongside their longtime rival in an attempt to pressure the Sultan of Hasnak to meet with Prime Minister Franz Hoelmon in order to bring missing Kylie Alexis back home to the nation of Rezua. Due to the death of President Fritz Baeur, Chancellor Ludvig Maxis had this to say about the debacle surrounding Hasnak: "For far too long have we heard the cries of the Rezuans who wish the return of Kylie Alexis, for far too long has the Sultan of Hasnak shown deplorable cowardice in refusing to meet with the Rezuan Prime Minister. Today, the Communist Reich of Kiez will join the chorus of Rezuan Voices that demand the return of Kylie Alexis, one of the six Rezuan Girls who had been kidnapped while on a Humanitarian Aid venture. If the Sultan refuses to partake in discussion with the Empire of Rezua, the Communist Reich will formally request that the United Sunalaya Assembly establish sanctions upon the Caliphate of Hasnak, I now pass over my time to Premier Edward Richtofen."

For those who were unaware, Premier Edward Richtofen was directly involved in the Liberation of Kiez from the now Defunct Kiez Bannerless Brotherhood, suffering injuries that required stitches, however, maintaining his composure as the strong willed leader of the Reich, the Premier began to speak: "We have stood idly by, doing nothing for the Empire of Rezua when they helped us bring peace and order back to Communist Reich, for far too long have we alienated our western rival, our Diplomatic Communications between each other at a near virtual standstill. That stops today: In the event that the Sultan still refuses to cooperate with the Rezuan Empire, the Communist Reich will dish out it's own punishment against the Caliphate. Allow me to speak directly to the Sultan himself: we may be weakened by the strife that had enveloped our nation just weeks ago, but we still stand strong as one of the many Regional Powers on this planet, as does the Empire of Rezua. As stated by Prime Minister Hoelmon, this is your final warning. Myself, the Reichstag, as well as the People's Commissar Council formally demand the return of Kylie Alexis, or you will face the consequences."

In Other News:
- List of Officials who will succeed the now deceased President Fritz Baeur is currently being drafted.
- Due to his courage & part in ending the attempted Coup of Kiez, Commander Nikolai Moskvin has been given the Protector of the People Medal, an honor afforded only to a small group of individuals.
- Possibility of the Kiez-Rezuan Border being re-opened for travel between the two countries, Discussion ongoing within the People's Commissar Council.

Bannerless Brotherhood Confirmed in Dormill and Stiura; in conjunction with the revelation of a new terrorist group targeting Dormill and Stiura

Unconfirmed Member of Black Sun in a recent video uploaded to KTube, amounting over 1 million views already

With protests still going strong throughout Dormill and Stiura, and tensions rising with Engleberg advising Dormill and Stiura, among other nations, about the recently missing Cruise Liner Ozean, a video on KTube has gotten the attention of national security annalists from all over Dormill and Stiura. The video, titled "The Storm Comes for those who stand in our way!"* has already garnered over a million views in the day since it was uploaded and it has already shown to be a topic on the minds of citizens all over the nation and the world, you can read some of the comments from the video at the end of the article.

Cyber-security officials have traced the origins of the video back to Rezua, where it is currently believed the organization named Black Sun is operating out of. A transcript of the video itself is below, we warn our readers to take extreme caution, as this contains multiple threats against the nation that are currently unconfirmed.

Dormill and Stiura, such a pathetic land filled with the poor wretches of society. Their government blankly lies to them, saying things like "We're working for the people" or "Dormill and Stiura is strong united." But look at your citizens Dormill and Stiura! They cry for freedom from tyranny and oppression so they may govern themselves once more! This is not our only grievance against your government Madame President Richelieu! You stand in the way of true Ventismariean Unification! You prevent the Empress from enforcing her benevolent will over your nation because you like power. Your power over this nation of filth gives you some kind of satisfaction that maybe your nation isn't that bad while your citizens starve, protest, and sleep on the plague-ridden streets of your do called "United Republics".

We, Black Sun will no longer stand by while your nation tears itself apart because of your corruption. And if that means we must attack, then as God and Ymira as our witnesses we will fight to liberate Dormill and Stiura from your fascist, homophobic, bigoted oppression!

This will not be pretty for you, it will be ugly, it will be bloody, but it will be a holiest crusade to rid your lands of the filth that you have produced, and it is high time somebody has done something about the only nation in Ventismar that has adopted the fascist view of "Ventismareian Independence". Yeah! We know of your goals Richelieu! And now everybody knows what you want, you don't only want power for your corrupt nation, you want to steal power from all of Ventismar in a vain attempt to assert its independence. It will not happen while we exist and the people are taught of these lies you spew!

Tod der souveränen Vereinigten Republiken! Tod nach Eckernförde! Tod nach Schmedesdeich! and Good Night!


As if this video was not enough to build tension about a possible terror attack in Dormill and Stiura, a member of the Bannerless Brotherhood was recently arrested during protests nearby Hallignicourt in North Lieurneux, confirming a new cell of the terror organization has formed in Dormill and Stiura

Image
A photo of the man in question, his location and name remain secret to ensure a total investigation can be completed

Currently, not much is known about this man, or how deep this new cell of the Brotherhood goes. What we will list below are only our assumptions about what this portends:

  1. The Brotherhood is planning a large scale operation in Dormill and Stiura
  2. The Brotherhood have infiltrated the National Congress
  3. The Brotherhood is working with Black Sun
among a multitude of other possibilities that we cannot understand yet.

These are truly dark times for Dormill and Stiura, may we all be safe in the coming days.

Minarchismusland recognizes Strigiformia as a sovereign state and officially ends civil war state, far-right protests rise

Image
Laura Müller's first public appearance after defecting to Strigiformia, in today's meeting

After one month of fighting the rebel movement aiming to make a socialist state in Minarchi territory, a peace treaty has been made between both sides. Strigiformia's leader travelled to the capital Steinram today, in order to attend a meeting with president Ludwig von Gutenberg and vice Karl Abraham in the Schloss Fürstenwald palace, regarding a peaceful relation for the recent conflict.

Many people wondered why the government would let a territory with such opposing ideals to Minarchismusland's be formed, while Ludwig's - who is now relatively well given the stroke he suffered recently - answer to the reporters asking about it was that "Laura agreed to disband her militia, forming a new military to serve the country instead, and she apologized for any harm they caused, as according to Müller she disagreed with a lot of the militia's decisions". Strigiformia's borders will be completely landlocked, having no access to the coast, and it will be an enclave of Minarchismusland. Thus, the nation will be totally surrounded by Minarchis. The Strigian government will also provide indemnity for all affected Minarchen (including for the families of the few killed Minarchi citizens).

Despite those decisions, some citizens are still unhappy with the outcome of the conflict, especially far-right and VSSA sympathizers, and many groups are being formed to spread violence not only to communists, but also to homosexuals, illegal immigrants and even black people, more rarely. However, most of those extreme right communities are present on the internet, especially the online forum called The Plague Doctors, which has doubled in popularity since the past three days.

Popular News:
- Von Gutenberg laments the death of Westseaxnaland's prince Edward: "Another good man lost to communism"
- Minarchismusland's minister of Defense, Zhao Jintao, has said "the country is keeping an eye at the situation in Hasnak"
- Popularity of Winston Krump declines in the country, but the majority of the population still support him, at a 59% percentage of people surveyed approving his decisions

Krump Delivers Response To Protestors And Pearson
Image
Krump making a speech today.

After the protest continued to grow in many cities, both by police and regular citizens, the Krump administration was at first silent, but now releasded a statement from Winston himself regarding the protestors, what he will do about it, and shamelessly attacking Karen Pearson over her sexuality. Many belived his words were quite harsh, but also shows that he wants to keep order as much as possible to make sure nothing out of the ordinary happens. The speech, given inside one of the press rooms at Parliament, was short and worded sharpy towards the protestors and Pearson.

"You are all fools," he started his speech," you have no idea how lucky you have it. I am trying to lift burdens off of you, and all you want is it to stay on. Why are you for that? it's ludicrous, and makes my sick that the people of this nation support having the weight of government on them. At first, you all acted like you were done with the establishment, but once I started to make changes, you all got upset and seem like you actually wanted it to remain the same. Are you all that indecisive? And another thing, and this is directed towards that ill-tempered leader of this movement against our government, Karen Pearson. Ms. Pearson, all I can say is you are the most foolish of them all, you have no idea about what I'm trying to do for you and your fellow countrymen. You berate me constantly, you show that you are now against your nation, and you are leading a movement that won't accomplish anything. I ask you to sit down and go back to where you came from, this isn't the place for your type. And another thing, I have recently acquired photographs of you Ms. Pearson, of you KISSING another woman, which to me shows that you are weak, incompetent, and do not like the idea of preserving our great nation and culture, of which our forefather fought so hard to protect. Now, just go away, back to wherever you came from with your girlfriend Pearson, this is not for you, you're can't bear the weight. Now, with these protestors, I want you all to back to to your lives, because I will not tolerate this nonsense any longer. Starting tomorrow, I will start to send in military units to start the process of dispersing the crowds and ending these protests once and for all. I am tired of seeing them whine about what i have done to help them. That is all I have to say for right now."

Not many are sure how the different groups will take this, but many believe that him calling his own people "fools" is a mistake, and may anger people more. Also, many are skeptical about sending in armed military units to break up the protests, feeling it may lead to violent confrontations between the two groups.

GDAŃSK WINS MINORITY VICTORY


BENDOME - After voting stations closed at 23:00 Tuesday night, Prime Minister Andrzej Gdańsk of the PUCP was officially announced victorious. Even though his victory was that of predicted nature, he was only able to achieve a minority presidency; this is due to the party only obtaining 43.4% of the popular vote. A minority government hasn't been achieved since 1963 when the Altruist Party narrowly won against the Umbrelliet Conservatives.

The problem for the PUCP with having a minority government is that it will make future federal decisions slightly more difficult to pass. One of the legal affects with having this kind of situation is that exactly 365 days from now, any party in parliament with over 30 seats may call a "Confidence Vote". This vote, if passed by at least 51%% of parliament seats, will trigger a pre-mature election within 60 days.

Image
Re-elected Prime Minister Gdańsk moments ago during his victory speech in Nuranto, Belantica.


Unfortunately due to the current REDBUL negotiation talks taking place in Belantica, Prime Minister Gdańsk was not in Umbrellya during election night. He instead made his victory speech in Nuranto, where he was broadcasted live to Umbrellas. With over 30 million watching, he definitely got his message across, without even being in the nation.

Major party candidates Guttag and Ternovskei conceded defeat shortly following Gdańsk's victory speech. In Guttag's conceding speech, he described the results as "the first step down an escalator", possibly referencing to his frustrations with Umbrellya's current political and social situations.

Image
Diagram of parliament seats after election.


In the final sentences of Gdańsk's speech, he stated:

"... Although I may not have the backing of all Umbrellas as I push this country into a prosperous era for all, I know that with our leadership, along with everyone who has supported our campaign, Umbrellya will once again rise from the dirt Ventismar is covered in. This continent is too divided already, and Umbrellya doesn't need to be mudded into that mosaic. Which is why, in this term, I will begin to forge a national identity like no other, an Umbrelliet identity. Something Umbrellas sorely need. But to protect all of these changes from being destroyed, I, along with several other nations, will develop strategic alliances across the globe. With these new friends, the purge against corruption, injustice, and non-benevolence will commence on an international level.

Today is a historic day, that for some, will either live in infamy or fame. My job is to ensure one of those will be true. Thank you."

Following the result of the election, several protests broke out in provinces: Kaelicia and Ostreska. These provinces overwhelmingly voted for Guttag.

Soursis to join Westseaxnaland, allies in war
Image


When war broke out between the People's Republic of Kaiming and Westseaxnaland public opinion was mixed. Despite being a member of the Westseaxen Commonwealth, public opinions stated the citizens of Soursis were against joining in the war. When asked, many residents of Castletown reported the risk and cost of lives would be too great. It's because of this Taoiseach Joseph Walsh announced "Soursis will not go to war." However, at today's Oireachtas meeting the Oireachtas voted in favour of deploying troops to join Westseaxnaland and it's allies. Soursis will also be sending medical supplies and other humanitarian aid for those affected by the war. The change in government opinion comes just days after Prince Edward, the Crown Prince, was killed in the line of battle. He died saving his unit.

The Prince's death sparked public outcry as the Prince was viewed as a hero amongst many in Soursis before his heroic deeds. Although only a few thousand Soursisian soldiers will be deployed, Mr. Walsh stated "it was the opinion of the Oireachtas today that we could not let the Communist Government get away with killing not only Westseaxnaland's heir, but our own heir to the Soursisian throne." Despite maintaining a standing army, Soursis has not been actively involved in any armed conflicts since gaining independence in 1969.

NEWELLIAN IMAM: Hasnakis are not true Muslims. celebrates Sunrisia same sex marriage vote
Image
Leading Newellian Imam Moshin Ali of a liberal branch of Islam called Taqdami Islam condemned Hasnakis as heretics and a threat to world peace. In a fatwah, he declared that the Islam followed by Hasnak was heretical, and that homosexuality is a natural occurence in nature, and that Allah does not hold homosexuality against muslims due to being born that way.

Allah has spoken with me last night in a dream, and he has said that the radicals of Hasnak were not true muslims, and that they commit shirk, following a perverted version of his word. As of today, all Hasnaki muslims are to be considered heretics. Allah then gave me a vision of paradise, and in there, I saw to my suprise that homosexuals can indeed enter paradise, and showed me visions of animals that are also homosexual. It was clear to me that Allah hath removed homosexuality from his list of transgressions. By decree, Taqdami Islam shall consider homosexuality a natural occurence, and that we cannot change a homosexual. In my Fatwah, I also celebrate the Sunrisian vote on same sex marriage.

It is unknown what the motives were for the attack or who is to blame, but there is a possible link to the Bannerless Brotherhood, though this can only be determined after an intense investigation.

Rezuans Parliament Calls For Ceasefire Between Kaiming and Westseaxnaland

After the tragic death of Prince Edward, Princess Christina has called for an end to the war in Kaiming. She suggests that both sides allow USA peace treaties to be created and the enforced by the USA to ensure another war does not start or take so many lives. Princess Christina has explained that both sides must be open to peace or else countless more will die.

Parliament Reacts To Krump Speech

Barely weeks into his election, Belantican Prime Minister Krump has begun to threaten military action on peaceful protesters. In addition, he has declared the protest leader, Karen Pearson, unfit to rule simply because she has kissed another woman. Parliament's main concern has fallen on telling Krump that using lethal force on unarmed protesters is uncalled for. Krump fired a large amount of civil servants, especially police officers. It only makes sense for there to be many unhappy Belanticans. Krump has made them unemployed, that is enough to make anyone protest. Peaceful protest is allowed in Belantica, therefore, Prime Minister Krump has no right to stop the protesters. Rather than threaten to kill unarmed civilians, Parliament tells Krump to focus on trying to improve the nation. Prove to his people that he is worthy of being Prime Minister, not threaten to kill them if they disagree with him.

Princess Christina took it upon herself to compose a letter to Krump titled: "Some girls kiss guys, others kiss girls. Get over it." The Princess began her letter by explaining homosexuals are still citizens of Belantica and are allowed to marry under Belantican law. She also commented that a leader is not "worthy" to rule just on how well he or she kisses. The second part of the letter contains an album of lesbian couples with short responses from them to Krump. Princess Christina first got Empress Ymira and Princess Sierra's picture and let them give advise to Krump on how to rule, since he is a new leader. Empress Ymira was very encouraging but also firm on her stance against his threats. Soon, this caught on around the entire capital city, couples flocked to the royal library to partake in Princess Christina's letter. The Princess herself even is in a few pictures, none of her kisses are on the lips however. This letter was sent via e-mail and via paper copy. The Princess expects Krump to ignore the pictures but as she stated "When else am I allowed to run around the city and shout at people to kiss?" She does, however, suggest Krump reads the suggestions.

Prime Minister Displeased With Sultan, Empress Agrees

On a more serious note, the Upper Council has agreed to call for sanctions on Hasnak after their sultan admitted to enslaving and abusing a Rezuan citizen. Empress Ymira has now taken the case and has directly addressed the Sultan. She that Rezua has not done anything against Hasnak to justify such a vulgar attack and added that the only one acting like an imperialist is the sultan himself, do to the fact that he over stepped his national borders to take people out of another country into his own. Empress Ymira has once again called for a meeting to negotiate the girl's release but has also warned the sultan that she will forcefully return Kylie Alexis to Rezua if the Sultan refuses again. For citizens of the city of Berylar, this action is too little too late. They have expressed their displeasure with the Empress and are calling for war with Hasnak.

Rezuans Conflicted About Warming Relations With Communist Reich

Wounds still sting from the Summer War in many Eastern Rezuan cities and families. Rezuans have mixed feelings about warming relations with a once-hostile nation, but some communities have advocated for acceptance. Surprisingly, a mother from a Eastern Rezuan community whose young child was killed in a Communist Reich bombardment, has called for warming relations. She has explained that nothing will get better if Rezuans and Reichians merely continue to hate one another. She has expressed a desire for healing, meaning she would like to normalize relations. She did not, however, say she supported anything more than that. On the other hand, Eastern communities are protesting that ties between Rezua and the Communist Reich should stay cut. As they have said "We think it's just best to get each other space." Parliament, however, has agreed to discuss reopening travel and trade with Reichian officials.

Upper Council Condemns and Begins Search For Black Sun Terrorist Group and Confirms Support For Newellia

Empress Ymira, Prime Minister Hoelmon, and other council-members have denounced the violent message of Black Sun. They have stress that violence is not every a first choice and that Rezua has no ill-wise against Dormill and Stiura. Empress Ymira denounced the terrorists as "disturbed" and has begun to hunt for their terrorist cell within the nation. She has promised that if the Bannerless Brother is involved and or Black Sun acts first she will act "accordingly".

The Upper Council has condemned the shooting in Newellia and has pledged to help Newellia rebuild and heal. They has stated that violence against civilians will not be tolerated and has suggested a global meeting to discuss finding and rooting out the Bannerless Brother once and for all.

Prime Minister Zoran Četkević visits Targovia and plans to meet with Chairman Bojek.

PM Cetkevic meeting Targovian police in Nirnsk.

Nirnsk, Targovia - Today, PM Cetkevic flew on a plane yesterday to the city of Nirnsk, the plane ride was the start of a trip to the nation of Targovia by the prime minister. He told us that this visit will be used to increase our relations to our good brothers and sisters in Targovia. The PM got off the plane last night and unpacked in a major Nirnsk hotel. He later went to eat breakfast with some Targovian government members and even went to meet with everyday Targovian citizens. After he was said to spend the day at a Targovian police base and congratulated the police officers for their service to the targovian people.

The PM said he plans to stay for a undecided amount of time, and that he also plans to meet with the Chairman of Targovia, Bojek Olenev. The prime minister says the meeting will be about relations between the Targovians and Chemensians, and hopefully, and improvement in them. He also plans to discuss and try to create plans to deal with the events taking place across the world currently.

The reaction to these events are diverse among the Chemensian people. Most left-wing supporters say that this visit only will strengthen the VSSA and also give more support to the Targovian "fascists". They also say this will worsen Chemensia's minorities and ruin their lives if an alliance is made. The right however, believe that Targovia isn't as far-right as it seems, as most Chemensian conservatives, libertarians, and moderated, believe the Chairman is not like Malin, and that Bojek is not a ultra-nationalist, but a patriotic hero for his people.

Medals of Honor granted to the first post-dictatorship President Nikk Korsān, heads of the Creperian Transitional Council (CTC) and prominent figures of the Blue Revolution

Creperia holds another ceremony awarding Medals of Honor to national heroes for their historical contributions in favor of the country and the nation





Image





Today, the nation watched another grand celebratory ceremony taking place in Miraya, where more national heroes were awarded for their significant historical contributions to Creperia. The heroes that had been awarded today, were those, whose achievements had laid the foundation for the way Creperia is today and although those contributions had been recognized and appreciated ever since their effects started to been in our country, they had never been awarded up until now. Instead, Creperians had naturally given immediate attention to the heroes that had saved our country from more urgent life-threatening situations and existential crises, while these honorable individuals that are being awarded today, had modestly stepped into the shadows and tried to stay there. The event of today is being regarded by many as a reinstatement of historical justice.

Among the most recent award ceremonies of this type, the very last one was the awarding of Creperian special forces operatives, who participated in the mission in Hasnak designed to take down General Spess Āncora. Creperia watched as the head of state – President Alcc Laēta, gave Medals of Honor to the soldiers for their actions and successful completion of the Hasnaki mission. Looking further back, before the last event, Creperia had annually held ceremonies, where the nation honored its military heroes. Among the previous recipients of the Medals of Honor were – the soldiers of the Creperian Domestic War on Terrorism, the forces that participated in the Liberation of Shawata from Uszwa, the troops that supported SRA in Sunrisia, our servicemen that fought such entities as MDF, ABS, FNU among others and our military instructors that assisted Latin Corentian partners in the Drug Wars. Those brave achievements are undeniable and were recognized and honored first hand, however, the nation has now turned its attention to other individuals regarded as Creperian heroes and many have thought that despite their contributions being “quieter”, they are largely significant as well and should be given the same recognition. The voices of the people had been heard and were acted upon.

In the award ceremony that we are watching and covering today, President Alcc Laēta awarded a Medal of Honor to our nation’s former leader – President Nikk Korsān, still largely beloved in Creperia to this day. President Nikk Korsān was Creperia’s very first democratic head of state after the decisive Creperian–Sunrisian War or the War of Liberation, as it is becoming more commonly known these days in our country. Following those events of historical significance, which changed our country and set us back on a normal track, the very first free elections were held and the leadership of President Nikk Korsān, who was a candidate from the Democratic Party, took over the administering of Creperia. It was not an easy journey, as the new government had to rebuild a nearly-devastated country from the dictatorship period, however, that was not the real first problem that the administration faced. Shortly after being democratically-elected, President Nikk Korsān was overthrown in a military coup by the Creperian army still not reformed and loyal to the overthrown totalitarian regime, prompting the President to appeal to our country’s liberator and closest ally Sunrisia to help finish the job and reinstate order. Having survived the coup and saved Creperia’s revived democracy, the administration of President Nikk Korsān not only rebuilt the country, but launched a revolutionary era of prosperity that later served as legacy, which was carried on to the Presidents and the governments that came after, making Creperia the country it is today. It was truly an achievement made over a long period of time and by many Presidents and leaderships, however, the people and those same successors realize that it is also still thanks to President Nikk Korsān’s leadership, which helped raise Creperia from the ashes and laid the foundation for the prosperity that came after. Today, the nation is celebrating those achievements by awarding President Nikk Korsān and his team with long-awaited Medals of Honor. There was also something special about watching the Medal of Honor being given to former President Nikk Korsān by incumbent President Alcc Laēta, making us observe an encounter of two Creperian leaders, who came in the aftermath of revolutionary events.

However, it did not all start out with President Nikk Korsān. Following the overthrow of dictatorship by the military of Sunrisia and various Creperian opposition forces in the War of Liberation, the power void left by the regime’s dissolution was filled by a provisional government – the Creperian Transitional Council (CTC), which took over national leadership and administered the country, until democratic elections were organized. The CTC immediately began significant reforms, which helped the country and the nation to stand back up on its feet, while a new elected leadership was on the way. The members of post-dictatorship Creperia’s transitional government have long been viewed as unsung heroes, despite their achievements and provisional leadership having been celebrated all this time, but today, to take an extra step in truly showing appreciation in the way that many believe should be shown, members of the CTC have officially been placed among the ranks of Creperia’s national heroes with this ceremony.

Finally, the last ones to have been celebrated in the event, were those, who got our country to the point, where we are today, recently not that long ago. President Alcc Laēta awarded Medals of Honor to the most prominent figures in the Blue Revolution. The most notorious recipients were members of the Creperian Provisional Coalition (CPC), a transitional government which took over after the Blue Revolution, however, among others were – citizens, social activists, politicians and a person from any other social class in our glorious country, who has become one of the many faces of the Blue Revolution. President Nikk Korsān said that the people of Creperia are all heroes of the Blue Revolution, as it was a moment, when all of us came together to save our freedom, however, it is still a widely recognized fact that no such large movement could have naturally taking place without its leaders, the people that were awarded today.

Same-Sex Marriage Legalized Country-Wide In Sunrisia


LIVE BROADCAST


Image


The nation is celebrating along with our LGBT community, as same-sex marriage is now an official reality in Sunrisia, becoming a law and the newest addition to the Constitution of the Democratic Union of Sunrisia. The Supreme Court has officially voted in favor of legalizing marriage for same-sex couples, immediately allowing the verdict to reach the parliament building. As promised by the coalition government in the past, the legislation on same-sex marriage law in Sunrisia was already prepared and its adaption depended on the decision by the Supreme Court. With the official approval of the Supreme Court and an issued verdict, the coalition government not only had to follow-up with its promises, but on the contrary, had its hands untied to adopt a law which the majority of the nation supported for a while and which the majority of politicians in Sunrisia had been in favor of as well. The legislation was passed with an overwhelming support and was later sent to President Sánît Béâtídá, who was said to have been more than happy to sign, being a famous supporter of the progressive law in the first place. After the passed legislation received the signature of the head of state, it was immediately declared law and implemented.

The LGBT and pro-LGBT supporters demonstrating in the streets had already been celebrating early after fresh news had dropped that the Supreme Court has approved the legalization of same-sex marriage. The very first demonstrators to hear this news were the ones in Aestin, demonstrating right outside the Supreme Court building, which had to be watched over by the authorities as masses of people had it surrounded. Although declared members of the LGBT and the pro-LGBT supporters made early promises that the demonstrations would stay calm and no trouble would be seen from them by authorities, necessary precautions were still taken early on, seeing to how emotional masses of thousands of people are naturally unpredictable. Once the Supreme Court made its decision, Aestin was the very first to find it out, with the news quickly spreading to the rest of the country. The media was naturally not the main tool that spread the news, but it was rather the LGBT members and pro-LGBT supporters themselves, who stayed in contact with each all across Sunrisia, wherever they may have been, informing each other of every known detail and given updates minute after minute. As mentioned before, the masses of thousands outside the Supreme Court building were the very first to find out the news, with the verdict later reaching the remaining millions. The wave of celebrations then slowly started to spread across the country, with Aestin being that spot from the spark had lit up the fire. Rejoicing began since the very moment the verdict of the Supreme Court was already known, without the LGBT or pro-LGBT supporters even having to wait for the same-sex marriage legislation to be voted on or approved at the parliament. The reason for this was the coalition government’s early promise that the parliament would automatically approve the new law, in case the Supreme Court’s verdict is positive, with many people having faith that the government would follow through with its public promise. Cheers and fireworks had been the only things dominating Sunrisia since then and the celebrations had not ended even now, as Sunrisians are commemorating a historical socially progressive moment in our country. It has been confirmed that marriage licenses would already become available for same-sex couples across Sunrisia first thing tomorrow.

The last historical moment, when same-sex marriage was fully legal on Sunrisian soil, was when the former state of South Sunrisia legalized same-sex marriage, while its neighbor North Sunrisia only kept the recognition of civil unions and domestic partnerships without anything else. Following the collapse and dissolution of the two former sovereign states and reunification of Sunrisia, same-sex marriage did not yet become legal within the new Constitution, however, couples that married within former South Sunrisia had their marriages further recognized, while the practice itself no longer took place within reunified Sunrisia. It was not a serious social issue, but still had importance to many people, while the newly elected coalition government itself felt bad from stripping the people of the right that was recognized in the southern portion of the country under the past system. Now, that problem is no longer accurate. Following the same-sex marriage vote at the parliament, members have said that with the introduction of this new law, additional amendments would be made and new laws passed to improve the rights of transgender communities to the maximum and eradicating any remaining traits of discrimination by educating the masses. President Sánît Béâtídá has yet to give his big reaction to the change, however, knowing that he was a big supporter of the law, it can already be predicted what is the reaction of the head of state. In addition, the fact that he was told to have been more than happy to sign the new law and prior to that had personally addressed the Supreme Court, are already signs large enough to show the President’s position. But even without interpretations, there has been a small reaction already given by the head of state, with the President being quoted as having said – “I congratulate the entire Sunrisian nation, as we are now people, who all obtain a universal right to marry those that we love.

Nude Protest Suppressed in Ramsevelt

December 4th, 2016

With the Fascist dictatorship now running the country in spite of Haley Hannibal's continued absence. The country has been severely hit by Pro-Western movements and protests, mainly being near the yokohaul province, the most liberal in the Empire, and Ramsevelt, the capital of the Empire and the victim of the latest protests. Around 11 AM is when protesters started to gather in the 14°C temperature without any clothes, gathering around the Ivory Square, just blocks away from the Victory Palace, the meeting place of all of the empires politicians. Hours later riot police and heavily armored vans were on the scene, laying out a route away from the Palace and to the lower wealth districts of the city. In spite of this police were overrun by the nudity and we're forced to retreat and regroup. Just in front of the palace were the rearmed and armored police, now with shotguns, tear gas launchers and pepper ball guns. After an initial molotov from the nudists, the government fired back, soon dispersing the protest ten minutes later with sixty seven arrested and three dead. The organizer of the protest, Jean Crillanshaw is now wanted and is being pursued by the police to be brought to court and can possibly face a life sentence in prison for the destruction of private property and the assault of police.

Premier Collins of the Ramsvelt admistrative district has released her word in front of a press conference at the plaza of the Victory palace, where scorch marks and blood line the concrete on the gloomy day. "The attack of these terrorists were outrageous, we gave them a path to march down, to spread their rhetoric and lies, and what do they do? They take advantage of our bountiful generousity and abuse it, breaking the path and assaulting our brave officers with makeshift weapons, clubs, firebombs, and even their fists. No mercy will be shown to the traitorous leader of this group who wishes to spread their propoganda across our great and vast land."

Laws Improving Transgender Rights Are On The Rise


LIVE BROADCAST


Image


In the wake of the legalization of same-sex marriage, Sunrisia continues moving forward with more progressive social policies, aiming at another important part of LGBT community – transgender people. As promised by the Béâtídá administration, bigger focus would be given and larger progress would be made on transgender rights in Sunrisia simultaneously with the same-sex marriage question. The situation with the transgender community in Sunrisia has always been positive, with some probably even saying that the transgender people had progressed way further in their fight for equal rights and right protection, in comparison to homosexuals up until today.

Transgender people have had official recognition early on, with sex change surgeries having been performed for as long as one could remember and the person receiving immediate right to live under and consider themselves the gender they think they are without state or social discrimination. With the relatively recent introduction of free universal healthcare in Sunrisia, the situation for the transgender people has been recognized as having improved even more, as the state covers all necessary procedures for transgender people to the fullest, just like with the healthcare of all other citizens. The full coverage includes both – the physical procedures needed to make a successful transition into another gender, and should the individuals want it, psychiatric procedures are covered as well, although they are not offered as avoidance of sending the wrong message to transgender people about their mental state.

As an umbrella term, transgender is broad and has also included – people, who had been engaged in acts of cross-dressing, but without officially going through sex change procedures, as well as individuals, who might have been born with male and female reproductive organs, but had not decided to settle with either of the two “official” genders or picking over the other. The latter category has caused less problems, as society has become more accepting of the people’s right not to be labelled and having choose just one gender which they would belong to, thus recognizing it simply as another gender and part of society. Therefore, the government has been less strict about it over the years as well. More problems, but not very significant lately either, had been seen with individuals engaged in cross-dressing, who mentally feel to be of one gender, but physically remain to be of the opposite gender and had not made a transition. There are still ways that have to be found of how to allow these individuals freely live as being of the gender they choose to, even if the transition has not been made, and simultaneously make the public become more accepting. So far, it is believed that the free universal healthcare has made it possible for all people in a similar situation to make a transition without fears of not being able to afford it, however, such procedures can only be made by choice and propaganda, an aggressive push to make the transition or forcing cross dressing individuals to make a transition or continue living under their gender of birth, are obviously options off the table and not even considered. More progressive laws focused on transgender rights will be made, giving the community as much freedom and comfort as possible, while also helping society progress in tolerance.

As promised by them, the members of the parliament have placed this issue on their agenda and are currently working on an entire set of new laws that would improve the lives of our transgender people to the max and keep a united society happy as well. These laws are only a few of many in regards to this particular issue, while the issue itself remains one of many on agenda for the government of Sunrisia as it continues leading our country forward. Stay with our network for further coverage and news on what is currently most important to you.

Strigian militiamen turn against Laura Müller, Minarchismusland aids Striformia to eliminate it

Image

Conflict broke out again in the north of Minarchismusland. But this time, the situation is a little different.

After this week’s Gutenberg’s meeting with Strigian leader and former presidential candidate of the RLPP Laura Müller, the Minarchi government requested Strigiformia to disband their militia, used to take control over the territory which now belongs to them. Laura accepted the proposal, but, in response, the militiamen – commanded by Benjamin Brooks – rebelled against Müller and now an inner fight has started inside Strigiformia.

According to Laura herself, Benjamin Brooks and his followers have taken a different path than hers. “They only promote violence and more hatred, and they are the kind of people who made communism be seen as a tyrannical system against that is against freedom”, tells Müller to Die Minarchi Volkszeitung. She said the militia army was only used as a tool in the beginning – and also according to Laura they did a lot of things she did not approve, such as attempting to murder von Gutenberg – and that after it was time for them to disband, the militiamen refused to do so. While some soldiers were loyal to Strigiformia’s official leader and joined her army instead, most of them kept against her, most notably the commander Benjamin Brooks, who was behind the assassination attempt of Ludwig von Gutenberg.

Some of Strigiformia’s citizens who didn’t participate in the revolution but voluntarily decided to move there after the conflict ended joined the recently formed nation’s army, defending Strigiformia’s true ideals. Meanwhile, the Minarchi Streitkräfte (the Minarchi Armed Forces) sworn to help them, seeing a scenario with Benjamin’s follower rulling over the country being even worse than the current one.

Ludwig, missing his right arm due to the explosion aimed to kill him and with half of his mouth paralyzed because of the stroke which was partially caused by injuries from the explosion, said in this afternoon that he’ll make sure the revolutionary army’s members pay for what they have done, and that he understand their Strigian opposers’ situation.

REFERENDUM ON BANNING ANY GENDERS OTHER THAN MALE/FEMALE AND BAN GAY MARRIAGE IN DIRKHIZISTAN TODAY
Image
Image
Image


Today the Dirkhiz government is preparing for a controversial referendum banning any gender other than male and female, and banning gay marriage in all of Dirkhizistan. This comes after Sinyrus, a Dirkhiz ally, has also had a vote with the same choices. The results there were 89% Yes, ban and 11% No, equality. The landslide is likely here too, since the country in 92% Muslim. The last polls show that the chance of the banning vote to win is 99.2%. Almost impossible for them to not successfully win. This vote will also show how far-right Dirkhizistan is currently to the rest of the world. Which recently have been growing in allowing transgender and gay marriage. Ruslan Mugharz, the new resident on his 3rd day in office, has said he will vote for no, he wants to make Dirkhizistan favored by liberal country and strike peace in the country. The word ban is very vague, but the creators of the referendum, have said that they will not allow people to not identify themselves as what they want to be, just not use it in their daily life. Such as bathrooms for them, marriage, symbols at schools, and more. This is also being said by liberal leader Sayra Tavac with yet another controversial message."This is horribly horridly horrific!

President of Minarchismusland eases it up for communists

Image
If you’re in Minarchismusland, keep in mind Ludwig is laughing at your face; if you’re in Terre de la Libre, kudos to you

Minarchis has done it again. Once again, they prove they’re as statist as any other country out there.

In the end of October, a communist group claimed a portion of territory inside Minarchimusland, calling it Strigiformia (the meaning having something to do with owls or whatever the hell it was). They fought for less than a month, accepted to make a “peace deal” after being influenced by globalists (*cough*Sunrisia*cough*), and one day before completing a month Strigiformia was recognized as a sovereign state.

The founder of Terre de la Libre, CEO Jean-Charles Burton, also condemned Ludwig’s decision. His main complaint was that TDLL took a few years to finally be recognized, and that was only after Jean helped in the Communist Revolution of 1972, during the Cold War, with the creation of the private militia Die Wächter. And his complaint is quite a curious one. Tell me, Ludwig, why did you not only recognize the territory those communist savages conquered through force, but only took a month to do so while it took a few years for president Lindemann to recognize Jean’s fellow libertarian territory? This only proves you are an statist, pushing Minarchismusland to a globalist regime. This is the exact proof of the fact that minarchies are always bound to turn into an enormous state eventually.

As for me, I’ll keep being here in Terre de la Libre. The only land which is actually free from tyrants in Sunalaya, not the so called “free country” named Minarchismusland. You all are a farse.

"NEW GOVERNMENT POLICY CHANGES STANCE ON TRANSSEXUALS"
Image

The Lord Chancellor's office published a Government Policy Concerning Transsexual People document today that categorically states that transsexualism "is not a mental illness."

"Westseaxnaland and Allies making considerable gains in Kaiming" says General

Dangerous drivers who kill could face life in prison


In 1962 transsexualism was officially classified by the government as a mental illness that required therapy and counselling services. Gender reassignment surgeries were not allowed as "part of the treatment."

This lead to some transsexuals receiving the gender reassignment surgery abroad, leading to the now controversial 1975 act that stated upon returning to Westseaxnaland or it's overseas territories those who had left the nation "with the intent to have the [gender reassignment] surgery completed, would be sectioned and required to receive mental health treatment." The act was repealed in 1999.

Despite it's repeal in 1999 the government would not recognise the person's new gender and/or identity even if they had undergone the surgery.

The new Government Policy officially declassifies transsexualism as a mental illness, however it remains illegal to officially change one's gender within the nation, but does legalise the reassignment surgery. Legislatures are hoping to change this within the coming years, and a bill has already been proposed.

The Bill, known as the Gender Recognition Bill, would officially allow transsexuals to be recognised by their new gender, and will make it possible for transgender people to change their legal gender in Westseaxnaland, allowing them to acquire a new birth certificate, affording them full recognition of their acquired sex in law for all purposes.

The new proposal is set to be voted on Parliament in early 2017. If passed, it will become the Gender Recognition Act 2017.

Protests Turn Into Riots Overnight
Live Broadcast
Image Image
Image Image
From Left to Right: Police Moving to Contain Rioters in Schlitten, Wallenstein late last night; Rioters clash with Avillon City Police; Riot Officers in Strauch preparing to meet a wave of rioters; On the Ground in the Eppendorf Riots
As if on some outside cue, several of the protests that have been held over the past two weeks suddenly became mass riots. The nation held its breath as the entirety of the Sonnaelands went up in smoke and fire over the last few hours. nobody knows why these riots broke out but they did catch police off guard, killing about 4 officers, injuring about a dozen, and resulting in a multitude of arrests, civilian injuries, and a causality. As a result of these brand new riots breaking out, President Richelieu has cancelled her plans to speak with Dormill and Stiura's strategic allies in order to remain home and maintain order, as a result of this, martial law has been declared in all the affected cities and military units are reported to be moving in at the current moment. With the 2016 National Congress out of session for the elections (Dec. 18-20), President Richelieu has issued a multitude of executive orders, most importantly of which includes the step-up of Dormill and Stiura's defenses to DEFCON 2, the first time in National History since the DEFCON system was adopted in the late 1960s.

The raising of DEFCON threat levels to level 2 means, in short, the near complete activation of the Dormill-Stiuraian Armed Forces, the mobilization of police forces across the nation, and a special "Air War preparatory stance" that grants the DSAF the ability to mobilize in less than half an hour to defend against all possible threats. According to military officials, "This new height in tension in the nation may call for a premature execution of operational plans that are currently still in planning stages."

What this means is not known to any news station, but it cannot mean anything good at the current moment to this station.

Please stay tuned as important news may come in.
