April 11th

It was on today, April 11th, that the nation of Senkaria changed forever. President Noxsidera issued a statement withdrawing
the 65 years of foreign affairs isolation and sent in troops to Rifara to put down the Rebellion. It is not clear where this war will go, but the following statement was issued by the President:

President Noxsidera: Greetings proud citizens of Senkaria! 65 years ago marked a milestone for our great nation of possibility and we have come very far since then. 65 years ago our Former President Daemone shared with the nation his vision of paradise built upon science, technology, and a booming economy. We made sacrifices... Sacrifices that must be made in order to maintain the Utopian Society we have today and plan to make better every single year! We have made a plethora of success ranging from our goal of a colony on Europa to making breakthroughs in genetic engineering and other technological breakthroughs. That is not the reason I am talking to you today. 65 years ago we decided to become mostly isolated and dealing with very little foreign affairs. We kept our affairs limited to trade with Ophion and sending in little troops needed. Today our seclusion and isolation ends. We have created a Utopian Society and our military and technology are advancing and we have become an idea in practice. It is time we share out greatness with the world. Our first and current goal is to stop the revolution in Rifara. I have discussed this plan with The Ophion Alliance and we will help the government restore it's power and strengthen our borders. Let's show the world the Utopian Society of Senkaria!!

Sunrisia Threatens Military Junta In Creperia: Begins Military Build-Up On The Border, While Giving Dictatorship 48 Hours To Step Down

Following the recent events in Creperia that lead to the overthrow of the legitimate government of President Nikk Korsān and its replacement with military junta, the administration of President Edward Léker has today announced our country’s official formal position on the issue and a response to the illegal regime change in the neighboring Creperia. The position was formed over the course of the past several days as there had been multiple urgent meetings called among the members of the National Defense Council and the Department of Defense, during which the situation in Creperia was carefully discussed and debates began on what course of action would be required should the crisis require containment.

Following an armed coup and takeover of power in the country by the Creperian National Defense Force (CNDF), which served as the regular army of the country under the previous dictatorial regime, President Nikk Korsān was forced to flee Creperia amid fears for his life, requesting sanctuary in our country from the administration of President Edward Léker. The legitimate president of the neighboring state was of course granted the safe haven as Sunrisia agreed to accommodate the leader of Creperia with everything that he and his representatives require, until they are finally ready to form resolutions to fix the developed situation in their country. Due to the government of Creperia being overthrown by the national military itself, the administration has no armed representatives that could act under their command, meaning that there is no way for the government of President Korsān to restore order in their country on their own. This prompted President Korsān to appeal to the government of Sunrisia for aid, even requesting that our country use military force in Creperia to restore order by removing the military junta from power. Although neither the President nor any of the government’s representatives have given the ousted administration of Creperia an immediate answer, the option suggested by President Korsān was definitely on the agenda and was included in the discussions at the meetings and summits among the National Defense Council and the Department of Defense.

The administration concluded that removing the military junta in Creperia from power was without a doubt a mandatorily required action as the presence of such so-called “government” brings a threat not only to the internal stability of Creperia, but also to the national security of Sunrisia and general order in the region itself. The President emphasized that permitting aggressive military junta to stay in power might lead to “irreparable consequences if the issue is not tackled on time”. Although the administration representatives have claimed that restoring the legitimate rule in Creperia was a mandatory effort that will be pursued through diplomacy, the administration did not exclude the possibility of using military action, should all others options fail.

President Léker revealed the decisions made at the summits via a quick speech at an urgently-assembled news conference in the Presidential Palace, Aestin:

“The military junta that currently illegally holds power in Creperia after ousting the legitimate government of President Nikk, poses a threat not only to the internal stability of Creperia, but also to the national security of the surrounding countries and the overall solidity of the region.

Almost immediately after coming to power, the established military dictatorship declared itself the supreme authority of the country and threatened that it would eliminate any and all opposition to the new regime, which includes internal and external opponents. The junta took absolute control over the entire system within the state, meaning that the only remaining laws would be the junta’s words and commands. Sane order no longer exists in Creperia as the regime has openly declared that it would kill those that speak out against the supreme authority and even revealed plans to conduct a genocide against ethnic Lumenans in eastern Creperia in order to eliminate the country’s only autonomy in a pursuit of a more “centralized” form of government. The people of Creperia are left to be hostages of a psychotic genocidal junta that has turned the country into an anarchy with no sane law and revealed that is ready to do whatever it wants with the helpless nation, while the people themselves have nowhere to run in order to save their lives. Every citizen of Creperia is a hostage and a potential victim to the junta’s insanity-induced aggression. This also includes our country’s humanitarian workers, which have been conducting relief effort in Creperia since the Creperian–Sunrisian War as part of the bilateral ‘United Mission in Creperia’ (UMIC) relief operation. Although these workers and teams are being watched over by the specially-deployed peacekeeper troops, those soldiers are not armed well enough to withstand a full-scale military assault and in accordance to our administration’s obligations, we must protect our country’s citizens no matter where they are.

This psychotic junta also poses a threat to the safety of the surrounding countries and the region as it has already openly threatened all parties that might oppose them, which includes external opponents. Allowing further flourishing of a military government, which already possesses a lot of power, which is ready to massacre an entire nation and which openly threatens the international community with aggression, would lead to great consequences for the region. If this highly aggressive and already powerful threatening junta is overlooked and allowed to further hold power in Creperia, while eventually fortifying itself, it might grow to such proportions that would eventually make it a powerful regional aggressor difficult to defeat in the future. Finally, tolerating such armed seizure of power from legitimate governments of sovereign states would create an impression that we are bias in our view towards international law and that we are not serious in ensuring its preservation by all members of the international community. Overlooking and giving a pass to one such situation might provide way for other such situations to arise in the future.

With no physical possibility to fix this crisis on their own, the administration of requested that in case of all diplomatic efforts to negotiate with the junta fail, Sunrisia use military action in the territory of Creperia in order to remove the junta from power and ensure national and regional safety by eliminating a great threat. The legitimate government of Creperia promised to aid our administration in all the diplomatic efforts. During multiple meetings and summits that followed among the members of the National Defense Council and the Department of Defense, everything on agenda was discussed, including the Creperian President’s request and the geopolitical situation. Due to a growth of a powerful and psychotic aggressor next to our border, the obligation to protect our citizens inside and outside the country, preservation and protection of international law, ability to avert a massacre of a helpless population and possessing ability to restore order in a country, where its official administration no longer holds authority, the conclusion was made the option of military action will definitely be included if diplomatic efforts to negotiate with the junta fail. I have personally already addressed the parliament to authorize the use of military force in the territory of Creperia, while under the order from Department of Defense and the initiation of the National Defense Council, a military build-up has already begun on the Creperian–Sunrisian border.

Right now, on the behalf of the government of Sunrisia and the legitimate administration of Creperia, I would like to address the self-proclaimed Supreme Leader of Creperia General Lussen Malān of the Creperian National Defense Force and demand that he and his military government step down from power and return the authority to the legitimate government of President Nikk Korsān. The process must be completed within 48 hours, otherwise our country will use military action to restore order in Creperia. The countdown towards the deadline has begun now.”

According to fresh reports and live transmission from western Sunrisia, the Sunrisian Defense Force (SDF) is currently carrying out active mobilization of forces along the Creperian–Sunrisian border. According to the President and other representatives of the administration, these forces will be obliged to enter Creperia should the military government not step down from power within 48 hours. More news on this topic – coming soon.

Military dictatorship turns down threats by Sunrisia and Oblaren: Prepares to defend itself in case of invasion

The military dictatorship of Creperia chooses to overlook Sunrisian and Oblarenite threats announcing that it is prepared to repel any military aggression

---

Today, the military government which came to power in Creperia by ousting the legitimate administration, has given a response to the threats from the administration of President Edward Léker in Sunrisia and the government of President Kristen Einzbeth in Oblaren. The government of Sunrisia, which has agreed to provide sanctuary to the ousted legitimate administration of Creperia, stated that it had received an official request from President Nikk Korsān to use military action against the junta in Creperia if all diplomatic efforts to resolve the crisis fail. Meanwhile, the government of Oblaren has issued a warning as well, similarly stating that the junta must step down or military force will be used. However, unlike the government of Sunrisia, the administration of Oblaren was not requested by President Nikk Korsān and his government to use military action in Creperia and has instead most likely decided to apply this measure individually, fearing for Oblaren’s national security. Following this, the President of Sunrisia himself has confirmed that by the mutual agreement between the National Defense Council and the Department of Defense, the parliament has approved the usage of military force in the territory of Creperia, thus allowing the Sunrisian Defense Force (SDF) to go after the military government within the sovereign borders of the neighboring country. The legitimacy and need for military intervention was additionally reinforced by Sunrisia’s pursuit to defend its own national security and regional stability. The vast presence of the Sunrisian military forces has already been spotted along the Creperian–Sunrisian border as the administration of the neighboring country has confirmed that it had begun military build-up and mobilization prepared in case of diplomacy’s failure. The military government in Creperia has been given 48 hours to step down by Sunrisia.

However, despite serious warnings, ultimatums and a chance to avoid further escalation, the military government has announced that it has officially rejected Sunrisian and Oblarenite threats and refuses to comply with the demands as it has claimed that foreign countries “do not have the right to dictate what goes on within the borders of a sovereign state and cut into Creperia’s internal affairs”. With this statement, the military administration has officially confirmed that it is unwilling to comply with the Sunrisian and Oblarenite demands and will continue holding power over Creperia. Nevertheless, it did not ignore the threats that military action will be used against them, therefore declaring a mobilization prepared for the defense of Creperia from aggressors. Although the Creperian National Defense Force (CNDF) has been confirmed to be large and powerful enough for combat, the military government has reserved the right to conscript whomever they want and whenever they want. General Lussen Malān, the current self-proclaimed Supreme Leader of Creperia, has announced that military draft will apply to abosultely everyone between the ages of 12-80, who are currently present in the territory of Creperia, including foreigners. This measure will be applied if the army detects that it is losing against the invader or invaders.

Currently, the Creperian Military is actively assembling forces not only on land, but also widening the numbers of the Creperian Air Force in the country’s airspace, while also stationing large fleets in and around the country’s territorial waters, with many warships and aircraft carriers closely circling the maritime boundary between Creperia and Sunrisia, as well as between Creperia and Oblaren. The military government has claimed that it currently feels like the Creperian National Defense Force (CNDF) will be capable to defend the country.

Oblaren Declares War on Dictator of Creperia



After the ultimatum sent by Oblaren to the dictator of Creperia was rejected Oblaren has declared war. The goal is to limit the deaths of civilians and to, once restored, protect the president from future dictators. Oblaren has zero tolerance for dictators. The Oblarenite Army is on the way to Creperia, although the actually location has not been said. The presence of drones and jet fighters can also not be confirmed nor denied. President Einzbeth has said this:

"When Oblaren says something it means it. If dictators oppose freedom their are asking for us to take them down. We will not watch hundreds be slaughtered and ruled by a madman. Let this be a warning to all in this world who oppress their people, we are coming. It's only a matter of time. I ask all nations who love freedom to stand by Oblaren. Creperia will be free, that is a promise.

Andramedia pledges to help in invasion of Creperia
XENOS, ANDRAMEDIA. Today at the Presidential Palace, President Duran Zdravic came out in the Orchid garden and pledged Andramedia's support for the invasion of Creperia. At around 3:15 PM, he said "The injustice happening in Creperia is intolerable, and we cannot just stand by and watch. Andramedia must at some point, take action. We will most definitely help in the invasion of Creperia, along with Oblaren and Sunrisia". Also, Andramedia has a large military, and can definitely aid in the invasion of Creperia. So, in conclusion it appears Andramedia will be preparing for war.

Team From Zanerian Intelligence Branch Has Given Light To Interesting New Intelligence Defense Mechanism: Antibodies

The team of intelligence soldiers has brought forth an interesting concept for defense of intelligence networks: the antibody. Like the biological antibody, this antibody will be sent from an antibody program installed within the network to update, find the virus, bug, or malware, and destroy it. This system would have to be massively complex to a point, but after three years of studying the concept, the intelligence soldiers say it is possible.
The head of the team at the facility (Name and Address of Facility Withheld), Otto Von Dess, had this to say," It is certainly exciting. We think it would be revolutionary in defense intelligence. The implications are massive and almost unimaginable."
They decided to name it after the other things in offensive intelligence, such as a bug or virus. This program would, like white blood cells, dispatch 'antibodies' to fight the 'virus'. After three years, the team has asked for more funding into their research, and they have been given funding as well as hardware and software to help them with their R&D*. They came up with the concept while putting up firewalls for a new server. They have gone ever deeper into the concept, and now want to begin researching to see whether the development stage is possible. This defense mechanism could revolutionize Zanerian defensive intelligence, and keep all withheld Zanerian data safe. Professors at the Computer Defense Institute in southern Zanera have looked into the team's exciting new concept, and have praised them for their ingenuity, and the possible implications for the future. Professor Morison had this to say," The future for this 'antibody' is astonishing, with amazing possibilities! Maybe injecting something like a vaccine, or test virus, can help the antibody program fight viruses, bugs, and malware, just like biological antibodies. With enough intelligent programming, it can be the best cyber defense ever invented!"
The base details will not be released until the government of Zanera deems it safe to release them.

Intervention in Januwbeshariq?

There have been numerous reports that the Someli-Januwbeshariq border has been militarized with the Someli military building up forces around the area. Many believe this is due to the fact that Someli pirates have been immigrating out of Somelio and into Januwbeshariq more, and the Someli military is chasing them down.

President Shahab Aladali has publicly condemned the pirates and vows to "bring an end to them". He plans to be the third and final Someli president to deal with the piracy, which has plagued Somelio for years.

The Someli Ministry of Border Security has also reported that satellite images show that Januwbeshariq has been hosting a drug trade via Somelion to Latin Corentian nations, all from the pirates. The Someli military, which has been growing since the re creation of the republic, will be watched closely by our reporters.

Januwbeshariq, however, is not the only place of build up. Someli Navy patrols have increased, with new threats of piracy at sea. The military has also been building up in the eastern border, with no apparent intentions. The minister of defense has not commented on these build ups but said "Somelio only aims to keep peace and restore its nation from the war".

Sunrisia Announces Early Beginning Of Military Operations In Creperia Following The First Attacks By The Forces Of The Military Dictatorship

This just in. The Sunrisian Defense Force (SDF) has officially begun a move into Creperia, despite the 48 hour deadline given to the military junta to step down from power still not having commenced. Such rushed decision was taken after the units of the Creperian National Defense Force (CNDF) stationed on the Creperian side of the Creperian–Sunrisian border, had opened first fire at the mobilized Sunrisian forces by shelling them with missiles. Although the attacks had not inflicted casualties among the Sunrisian Military, the SNDF was forced to give an immediate response to the hostilities with a counter-offensive. Our country’s army has struck on all fronts at once with ground forces crossing the border and currently advancing through the territory of Creperia on the ground, while the Sunrisian Air Forces had entered the airspace of the neighboring country preparing to launch air strikes on the junta positions and engage the Creperian Air Forces in aerial combat. Meanwhile, the Sunrisian Naval Forces have also crossed the maritime boundary between Sunrisia and Creperia and our fleets are currently in the early stages of combat with the Creperian warships. The President has announced the start of the military intervention in Creperia with this morning’s address from the Presidential Palace in Aestin:

“The Sunrisian Defense Force has officially begun the military operations in Creperia. Although the given 48 hours for the junta to step down had not yet passed, our army was forced to begin the military strike against Creperia earlier, following the first unprovoked attacks on the ground from the forces of the Military Dictatorship. The Sunrisian Defense Force launched a counter-offensive as self-defense and thus the operations had begun earlier than planned. Our objective is to restore order in Creperia, defend our national security and ensure regional stability by removing the military junta from power and returning the rule to the legitimate government of Nikk Korsān, which has originally requested that aid from our administration. The ground forces have already crossed the border and are currently located in the territory of Creperia with preparations for combat, while the Sunrisian Air Force is currently launching air strikes and bombings onto the mobilized junta forces on the ground, while also fighting off the Creperian Air Force present in the airspace. Meanwhile, our naval fleets have also entered the territorial waters of Creperia and are currently engaging the Creperian Naval Forces in battle. Our administration and the administration of Nikk Korsān believe that our mutual cause will prevail and that order will return to Creperia very soon.”

Royal Controversy
Today is Lá de na Marbh, the day of the dead, in Cill Airne, honouring and remembering the Cill Airiochins who died in the 1878 Uprising that led to the deaths of 4,987 Wintanceastrean Imperial Soldiers, and 7,974 Airiochins. The bloodiest instance during the 1878 Uprising was the Rocal Massacre, occurring on 16 April, 1878 and resulted in the death of over 780 Airiochins. Although still a part of the Wintanceastrean Commonwealth, the day is celebrated throughout Cill Airne by wearing a black rose, a strand of roses native and found only in Cill Airne.

Today, during a public appearance in which King James IV was asked to speak on the recent uprising in Drake's Isle, he was seen wearing the black rose on his suit. When questioned about it, he said "I am from Cill Airne. Much like Drake's Isle, Cill Airne has seen its share of suffering. While many, in fact 87%, of Cill Airiochins support remaining in the Wintanceastrean Commonwealth, it is important we remember our history and those who died." However, the King's decision to participate in the Airiochin tradition, has been called "controversial."

Lord Denbigh, a known opponent to King James IV, told the associated press today, "it's a disgrace. He's simply making a mockery of the Wintanceastrean Monarchy. He's better suited to being a singer from Cill Airne than the King of the Wintanceastrean Commonwealth… And this is just days after he named his son Cathaoir!" The Royal Family announced yesterday that they had named their son Cathaoir, who was born Wednesday evening in Oakdale, Wintanceastre. His Majesty stated, "though he may be a Wintanceastrean Prince, his father is Cill Airiochin." Following the name-decision and the decision to support the 1878 Uprising, many have called for the King to be removed and replaced by a more "Wintanceastrean" Monarch. The leading opponent is Lord Denbigh himself.

Updated - 16/04/15 at 22:50 WST

James the Fourth by the grace of God of the Wintanceastrean Kingdom of Bryher and Drake's Isle, and of Our other Realms and Territories King, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith, To Thomas, Duke of Denbigh.

Whereas by the advice and assent of Our council for certain arduous and urgent affairs concerning Us, the State, and defence of Our Kingdom and the Church, We have ordered you to surrender your dignity to the Crown for High Treason against Our realm. By Our order you may no longer make use of your peerage and its holdings, and by Our order you will appear before the Parliament to be holden to Our City of Oakdale on the 1st day of May next ensuing. We strictly enjoining Command you upon the faith and allegiance by which you are bound to Us that the weightness of the said affairs and imminent perils considered, waiving all excuses, you be at the said day and place personally present with Us and with the Prelates, Great Men, and Peers to be tried for crimes against Our Realm. And this as you regard Us and Our honour and the safety and defence of the said Kingdom and Church and dispatch of the said affairs in nowise do you omit Witness Ourself at Oakdale the 1st day of May in the first year of Our Reign.

In a shocking announcement, His Majesty has stripped Lord Denbigh of his tittle, ordering him to surrender the Peerage of Denbigh to the Crown. The Lord Denbigh has made his disapproval of King James IV very apparent, and in the past few days many have called for the Lord Denbigh to replace the King as the Wintanceastrean Monarch. Because of his support for the move, Lord Denbigh has been ordered to appear before Parliament to be tried for High Treason.

The Dukedom of Denbigh was created in 1561, and has often been associated with the Royal Family. Lord Denbigh's sister, Zaria Denbigh, is married to the King's younger brother. Under the Peerage Law Act 1888 the Monarch does hold the right to order the surrender of a peerage in cases of treason or if the Crown is petitioned by another candidate. Despite this, the Crown has not ordered the surrender of a peerage since 1887 when James Grey was ordered to surrender the Barony of White, which led to the Peerage Law Act of 1888. Although the Dukedom of Denbigh is currently placed under hold in abeyance, it is speculated that His Majesty will grant the Peerage to Thomas Denbigh's twin brother, Guy Denbigh. If the peerage is not passed on to Guy Denbigh, it is likely the Dukedom will fall into abeyance, effectively ending the second oldest Peerage in the Wintanceastrean Kingdom.

ICN Empire, Liberty and Louis Leaving Capslandian Waters

The Ministry of Defence and Imperial Capslandian Navy have both announced that they will send three destroyers to conduct a military exercise just outside of Wintanceastrean territorial waters. This has been announced due to the rising rebellious tensions in the country, the Prime Representative had this to say:
"We will use our military to help preserve the government of Wintanceastre and their right to govern. If this 'rebellious fever' continues it is likely to spill over into nearby countries with the same political system, such as Lindenholt and us, Capsland."
There has been wide support for the action declared by the Ministry of Defence in the Territorial Parliament with one representative saying that "It was the best way to stop internal terrorism from escalating internationally".
The PR and Emperor are expected to have talks with the Wintanceastrean government to further extend Capsland's involvement and to hopefully stop the tensions.

ROYAL TREVCRAN NAVY ESTABLISHED BLOCKADE AROUND CODICEM

Royal Trevcran Navy fleet sailing toward Codicem

Moments after the People's Republic of Codicem announced they had recieved WMDs from the USJR the Prime Minister of Trevcra Vulpes Petram ordered the mobilization of the Trevcran Armed Forces, and detatched a fleet to form a blockade around Codicem to prevent the USJR from suppling more weapons. Trevcra has recently scrapped it's neutrality, and formed a defence pact with Smoya. The Prime Minister had this to say."To have a hostile nation with WMDs so close to use poses a serious risk to security and peace in the west. We will not allow fear and oppresion to rule this region. Any ships and aircraft not diverting from the RTN blockade will be considered hostile, and will be fired upon." Codicem is a communist nation which is member of Ophion. The USJR established nuclear weapon launch sites in Codicem after Smoya established similar sites in Iackstorm. Trevcra is now officially hostile toward Codicem. The Codicem crisis (as it is now being called in parliament) is said to be no more than diplomatic talk. Prime Minister Petram says this is not just talk. People are speculating if this will turn into a war. Trevcran citizens are still war weary from the Rise Plains war. But the office of the Prime Minister says this type of risk just can't be ignored.

USJR To Run Blockade

USJR Fleet setting of from Yaramaqui


Breaking News Jamestown- 8:52PM In a sudden change of course the nation of Trevcran has abandoned cooperation with the USJR and has turned upon an ally. This after the USJR and Codicem agreed for the Soviets to station thermonuclear warheads in the country. This is the second country in the region to allow the USJR to station warheads in the region, a move taken after Smoya stationed nuclear weapons in Iackstorm. For weeks President Grimpen Mortimer has called upon Smoya to remove the weapons from Iackstorm, which has been considered a threat against national security. Tensions have increased after Iackstorm invaded Rifaran, leading the USJR to believe the two sides are closer to war. In a move in the security council the USJR motioned, and received, a resolution to order the withdraw of Iackstorm troops from Rifaran.

Now the USJR is preparing to relive their ally in the west. at 5:30 PM JST a task force of the western core, carrying no military supplies, has been dispatched to dock in Codicem on a "regular naval patrol." A flight of J-130 transport carrying food and medicine for the sailors will be sent and is suppose to arrive in the next few days to meet up with the task force. The USJR stresses that this is standard for such an operation. The USJR goverment has also noted that under USA Resolution 1, citing the International waters, innocence of passage and OPEN SEA, INTERNATIONAL WATERS, TRANS BOUNDARY WATERS, HIGH SEAS clause. The goverment has also noted that under the Alliance charter the USJR is sworn to protect Codicem if attacked, along with every other Ophion member. Currently proposals are underway to sanction Trevcra.

Zanera Makes Move Toward Northern Trevca

The decision has been made by Supreme Onerius and the majority of the Reason Party to send a fleet to northern Trevca, when the news as heard they had established a blockade around Codicem. After imperialist actions by Trevca against the Rise Plains, Trevca is controversial to almost all members of the Reason Party. The Reason Party states that the actions are not aggressive, but a protest against the Trevcan blockade and Trevca's imperialist actions. Nonetheless, the ships are fully stocked for war and will begin heading towards northern Trevca tomorrow.
Esger Fertz, a prominent member of the Reason Party and a liberal socialist, said this," We cannot tolerate the actions of Trevca, as they are unfair and they have committed imperialist actions in the recent past. What is mutually assured destruction if it is not mutually assured?"
A conservative democrat, Ben Orkson, had this to say," After the imperialist actions of Trevca, Zanera cannot stand for this action. Trevca is much larger than Codicem, and is, frankly, picking on them. Codicem is the ally of USJR and a member of Ophion. Allies will share weapons and information, and since the USJR has no harmful intentions from which Zanerian analysts have seen, why not let them share? Were we not taught to share?"
After what was largely a failed resolution in the USA, Zanera found that it could not stop Trevca by any means short of war. Their actions went largely unopposed, except by the freedom fighters of the Rise Plains, which the Trevcan military harshly crushed. The leaders of Zanera say they will not back down until the blockade is called off, and that if necessary they will send a larger force. Currently, the Defcon is at a low 4.9.

King Cathal Arrives in Falias
You may also read this story, in English and Irish, at Seachtain's official website, here

Tragedy struck Wintanceastre today with four bombs, planted throughout the Wintanceastrean Capital of Oakdale, went off during evening rush hour traffic. Around 160 were killed, and nearly 60 died in the attacks orchestrated by William Denbigh, who has raised his own paramilitary forces in an attempt to establish what he has called "Wintanceastre's Future," a republic. This has caused outrage throughout the Commonwealth, with the nation of Arvas and H-Alba immediately calling for the arrest of Denbigh.

A fifth bomb had been planted in the Wintanceastrean Parliament, though it was found before it was scheduled to go off, saving the lives of hundreds of Wintanceastre's government. Because of the imminent threat that Denbigh poses, King Cathal III, or James IV in Wintanceastre, has flown, with his family, to Falias. He has stated he will continue his role in the government of Wintanceastre from Falias until the threat is removed. Many within Cill Airne have called for the Wintanceastre to be removed from the head of the Commonwealth, and for it to be relocated to Cill Airne, stating the instability Wintanceastre is currently experiencing is detrimental to the Commonwealth Realms, and is damaging the economies of Arvas, Cill Airne, H-Alba and Glen Ifhrinn.

Congress Votes Yea on Nukes in Vandeux
SNN, Your Reliable News Source



DRONDEN -- Following recent developments in Codicem, Smoyan Congress has voted to put nukes in Vandeux with a vote of 491-101-14. Now that congress has approved the move, all it takes it for President Marzio to approve this move - something he is expected to do, with him already expressing concern over the USJR's "hostile nuclear movements in Corentia".

The nuclear weapons in Vandeux would be the next nation to have Smoyan nukes in them, after Iackstorm. An expected 12 nuclear warheads are expected to be shipped to Vandeux if approved - followed by many more, possibly.

Speaker of the House Xavier Ronaldo has made a statement on behalf of congress on the issue of Trevcra's blockade of Codicem. "We, congress of Smoya, agree with our friends that Codicem can be a threat until an agreement is made. We would like to reaffirm that we still honor our alliance with Trevcra greatly and will defend them if any nation takes hostile actions against their fleets. With assistance from President Marzio, we will work with Trevcra to monitor the situation and make sure all political moves are made peacefully."

RIOTS IN SYLCETADT AS NUCLEAR WEAPONS PROGRAM REVAMPED, FLEET ORDERED TO SORTIE
Nearly 20,000 people gathered in the main squares of almost all the regional capitals in order to protest the rebuilding of the formerly-demobilised nuclear weapons program, along with the re-mobilisation of the fleet

Upon the vote to put Smoyan nuclear weapons in Vandeux, Prime Minister Aslan has made his first significant military decision since taking office. The FruitLandian Nuclear Program, assisted by members of the USJR government, is being revamped with new and improved weapons. "With this affront to our freedom and our safety," the Prime Minister said before thousands in Sylcetadt,"the FruitLandian Armed Forces has no choice but to restart our nuclear weapons program, in case of an attack by another sovereign nation. And this time we shall take into account the events of the Happenings - protect our nuclear bases as if they were the Parliament during session."

Also, in response to the Trevcran attack on fellow Ophion member Codicem, the FruitLandian Fleet was ordered to mobilise at 9 am local time, and to join the Jasonian fleet at an undetermined location, to serve under a Jasonian command.

PR Alexander Rubin Threatens to Dissolve the Alliance with the USJR and condemn Smoya

---

Today, minutes after the announcement of USJR nukes arriving in Codicem, the PR announced that the alliance with the USJR may be suspended or dissolved altogether. This decision has come about due to the rising nuclear tensions between the USJR and Smoya. Capsland is located right in the middle of this nuclear standoff which has made Parliament quite weary. The PR had this to say:
"It's quite frankly disgusting behaviour between these two 'developed' nations. They are acting like barbarians, showing off their nuclear might to try and scare one another and in return being too stubborn to back down leading to more and more nukes being placed into surrounding countries. Both Smoya and the USJR have done wrong in this but I have to put more of the blame on Smoya for starting this whole mess and for putting nukes in Vandeux, a neighbour of Capsland. But the USJR must also be blamed for escalating this crisis. This is why I call for an immediate withdrawal of WMDs from Bubba Reb, Vandeux, Codicem and Iackstorm. Or we will be forced to take diplomatic action."

[Codicem]

The People's Republic ready to defend itself
After the Trevcran Navy put in place a blockade around Codicem the People's Military of Codicem have stood ready to protect against imperialist aggression. The USJR and the rest of Ophion will assist Codicem in the event of an invasion and USJR has assured Codicem help is on the way.

The people of Codicem are willing to fight to the death against the western imperialists after being placed under the heel of Trevcra. Trevcra is a nation north of Smoya which has committed acts against the people's of the Rise Plains, and has not been properly held accountable. Comrade General Arstoksee Ligorov has committed the nations military forces to prepare for an invasion by Trevcra, and wants all citizens to fight against the aggressors.

TREVCRAN ARMED FORCES ON FULL ALERT

RTNS Thunder on Trevcra's northern border test firing a missle.
After several nations including Zanera deployed naval fleets to the Trevcran Ocean, after the Codicem crisis response, Trevcra has placed to military on full alert. All reservists have been called to active duty, and the Army, Navy, and Air Force are ready to protect Trevcra incase of an invasion. So far a classified amount of ships, air craft, and troops have been deployed to the Codicem region, and The Prime Minister vows any intursion into Trevcran territory, or the Codicem blockade will be considered an act of war. PM Vulpes Petram released this statement "If we fell there is a threat we will crush these commie pupets in Codicem, and if you don't like it too bad. Trevcra is under threat, and we are going to defend ourselves."

Lord Protector Denbigh Warns Capsland

Denbigh, Wintanceastre - The Republican Government has been at work from Denbigh Castle, the seat of the Dukedom of Denbigh and now house to the Republican Government led by William Denbigh, styling himself as Lord Protector; a title reserved for the heir apparent of Wintanceastre. Denbigh issued a warning to Capsland early this morning, stating "... If the Capslandian navy does not withdraw its ships ... It will be considered an act of war against the Commonwealth (of Wintanceastre), the true sovereign state of Wintanceastre." Although Denbigh has established his own army, it is unsure if he has funded the construction of a navy or air force for the Republic, leading the royalist government in Oakdale to call into questioning whether his threats can be taken in a serious matter.

The Royalist Government has, however, issued its own counter to the Republican Threat, stating "any declaration of war on behalf of the Wintanceastrean Government will be taken as treasonous and will warrant a declaration of war against the rebel forces. We will not hesitate to use the full force of the Wintanceastrean Army, Royal Air Force, and Royal Navy against any separatist forces." Denbigh's full warning is found below.

On this day, the 18th of April in the Year of Our Lord 2015, we issue on behalf of the Commonwealth of Wintanceastre a warning to be heeded by the Capslandian government. If the Capslandian Navy does not withdraw its ships from their current location, outside of the Sovereign Waters of our nation it will be considered as an act of war against the Commonwealth (of Wintanceastre), the true sovereign state of Wintanceastre. We will not hesitate to declare war against the Capslandian people, who will be known as enemies of the modernisation of the world. No longer can we cling to titles of yesteryear, supporting the decadent and archaic ways of the Monarchy. We all shall have a rôle to play in the future of Sunalaya, and I beseech the people of Capsland, do you want to be known as the people who fought to cling on to their traditions, or the people who helped establish a new Sunalaya with the proud people of Wintanceastre?

Iackstorm To Deploy Navy Seals to Somelio; Naval Movements Near Januwbeshariq

Naval Movements


President David Baha has announced this morning that naval fleets and units will be deployed to Somelio, an ally of Iackstorm. "They will all be for security purposes in our region," he announced at the conference. This isn't the only development however - naval movement has also increased in the Hasharak Sea (the sea between Iackstorm and Somelio), with no comment from David Baha on that matter.

The situation in Januwbeshariq has been "threatening", said President Baha. He is concerned about Someli pirates spreading from Somelio to Januwbeshariq as well, hopefully not to spark another regional war.

When Baha was asked about if this decision was made based off current events, he said this:

"Ever since the Great War Somelio has been a friend to Iackstorm. We have pledged to defend our ally from foreign imperialist and vow to end their piracy to prevent another war. If that means defending Somelio from Januwbeshariq, then so be it."
