Riots Erupt Across the Republic
Gasêta'Pagruusa | The Leftist Gazette

Since the beginning of the Malovinian Civil War, the government has been raising the defence budget and cutting back on other sections. Halfway into the Malovinian conflict, the USRADN was forced to join the Liberation of New Kalayaan, which prompted the Alos'teqiin government to up the service eligibility from 4% to 6%, causing even more resentment for the current government. Since these two conflicts ended, the Alos'teqiin parliament has not voted to bring the service eligibility back down from wartime levels. In fact, they did just the opposite — service eligibility was brought up 2% and all reserve troops were switched to active.

Pro-Soviet Protest in Tervaaĵ

These unpopular changes have not gone well with the majority pacifist population. In major cities such as Tervaaĵ and Kjêra, massive riots have started in the main squares. "I believe that the vandals in Alosteq are acting completely out of line in an attempt to get what they want in a manner only seen in spoiled children", said Iolanda Syed, the Cyllean Minister of Foreign Affairs. "Alosteq can be completely assured that they have the full support of Cyllea in this pressing time." The international community has so far allied with the old government during this time. The United Motherland Ambassador had this to say about the matter— "Although we can understand the needs and wants of the rebels, we do support the Aloste'q government, as the stability in the region is decreasing for most nations, and this would lead to a faster decay." Several high ranking Right Wingers have said that this implies the UL is weak, but our top analysts believe that this statement was made in favour of closer ties with the international community. "With all due respect to the people of Alosteq, this is insane. Have they even petitioned first? Violence isn't going to solve anything. I will like the government of Alosteq to cut the military budget a little bit, but that the people of Alosteq act civil, not engage into a civil war", said one Giliberaftan official. This statement is interesting, as it shows that there were peaceful solutions for the Alos'teqiin people staging violent protests in the name of pacifism, and it also shows the hypocrisy of the rebel cause.

According to another Cyllean source, protesting is outlawed in their nation, due to it being the cause of the Cyllean Civil War. The majority of the protesters clearly want civil war, as to overthrow the current government. "We are fighting for peace!", yelled one protestor during one of the more peaceful protests. "This is to end the USRADN's involvement in foreign conflicts! We will start war if we must!" This is a clear indication that a larger conflict is coming our way.

Cyllea declares crackdown on Islamic Terrorists following terrorist attack at PEDC Summit

Following a terrorist attack at the first Pacific Economic Defense Coalition by the Islamic Jihad Front. The terrorist group, 'Allah's Army', has been active in Cyllea since 1982, 11 years after the Cyllean Civil War began. They continue to kill people in the country side and occasionally bomb villages. Attacks on cities, however, are rare. Foreign Affairs Minister, Ms. Iolanda Syed, had been present at the meeting, and made the inital push for the crackdown. Its largely believed that Allah's Army works in cooperation with the Islamic Jihad Front. This comes during a war with Virosis over the Bai'anofi Islands. Unnamed government officials claimed that they believe that Virosis may be funding and arming the Allah's Army terrorist group.

信息通讯社 | Xinxi News Agency

Today, Ambassador of the Greater Socialist Republic of Zhouran to the United Left, Zhang Yu made a speech on thanking the UL for accepting Zhouran into the alliance.

"To my fellow comrades of the United Left, the Greater Socialist Republic of Zhouran thanks the UL for accepting the great nation into the alliance. It is the duty of the people of Zhouran to bring democracy throughout the world. For years, oppression has plagued human history since the early ages. The great revolutionary Chairman Yuehan Yi has dreamed of a world free of oppression. A world of freedom, liberty and democracy.

It is our duty to help others who are oppressed, especially those who are under the rule of vile fascist dictatorships."

Tension Between the Socialist Republic of Ardoki and the East Asian Federation
Ardokia Centra novaĵagentejo | Ardokian Central News Agency

Map of the Socialist Republic of Ardoki (Red)
and the East Asian Federation (Blue).

Tension has been rising over the last couple of months between the Socialist Republic of Ardoki, and the East Asian Federation. Recently, 10 Ardokian ICMB (Intercontinental Ballistic Missile) sites were erected in the province of Uttarikar (the Philippines), capable of hitting any target in the East Asian Federation. A few days ago, the Ardokian government announced another 15 ICMB sites have been approved to be constructed in Uttarikar, in a few weeks time.

The situation between the Socialist Republic of Ardoki and the East Asian Federation is very precarious. Ever since the founding of the East Asian Federation, in 1913, tension has been high between these two massive rivals. War has nearly erupted twice since 1992, and tensions between the nations are at an all time high. In September of 2013, Ti Abazu, a highly conservative president was elected in the East Asian Federation. Ti Abazu is a rabid anti-communist and tensions between the two nations immediately escalated. In December 2013 Ti Abazu said; "The Ardokian communist scum shall fall, it shall be at our hands, they shall be annihilated... We shall kill every last Ardokian animal. They and their land shall be destroyed, for all eternity!..." on an East Asian breakfast television program. The Ardokian government was immediately fearful, preparations were made.

The Socialist Republic of Ardoki immediately militarised the border, missile sites (both cruise and ballistic) were aimed at the East Asian Federation. While bunkers were constructed all across the border, as safe storage facilities and as safe places for civilians and soldiers to hide. There are currently over 250 000 soldiers of the Red Army Ground Force active on just Uttarikar alone, while there are over 2 million soldiers on the Ardokian-Chinese border, another 500 000 soldiers are positioned in Unpharon (Southern Tibet). Between February 2011 and August 2013, the Socialist Republic of Ardoki introduced an amazing air defence system, capable of detecting and shooting down practically any type of aircraft or missile (even ones protected by stealth cloaking), this is a major advantage the Socialist Republic of Ardoki has over the East Asian Federation.

The government of the East Asian Federation has condemned the Socialist Republic of Ardoki saying; "...Ardoki has increased the tension along they border. They threaten us, what do they want. Is it a war?". However the government of the Socialist Republic of Ardoki responded with; "We do not want war. That is why we are doing such things. After countless threats against Ardoki by the government of the East Asian Commonwealth, Ardoki is taking measures to deter any conflict....".

War is creeping closer and closer, let us just hope that it is prevented. Otherwise this could turn into the worst war in the history of Earth.

Racial tensions within UL
信息通讯社 | Xinxi News Agency

Today, the United Left faces racial tensions after many Zhouranese netizens noticed that the executive government of the UL are Caucasian and not other races such as African or Asian. Many netizens are calling for increased Asian representation within the UL, in order to spread the Asian identity within a Slavic-dominated alliance.

There are some rumors that the United Left itself might be the reason why the Asian identity isn't spreading to the world stage.

President Jahanara Kant of the Socialist Republic of Ardoki Talks About the Threat of Fascism to the World
Ardokia Centra Novaĵagentejo | Ardokian Central News Agency

President Jahanara Kant of the Socialist Republic of Ardoki performing
her speech at the Governmental Palace in Ardokiurbo to a joyous crowd.

President Jahanara Kant of the Socailist Republic of Ardoki delivered an inspiring speech last night, expressing the threat of fascism, and how world governments and organisations must unite to fight it. She stressed the importance of the United Left, and how it must lead the charge to destroy fascist nations and organisations.

The speech was performed to a joyous crowd of thousands of lucky reporters and citizens who were invited into the Governmental Quarter to watch the speech. Here is a small excerpt from the speech:

"Fascism is not just a threat to Ardoki and the United Left. It is a threat to every single nation and its people, that includes the fascist nations themselves. Fascism must be crushed in order for the joy and well being of all people. From Italy under Mussolini, Germany under Hitler, Japan under Tojo, to the Philippines under Terten, Australia under Tony Abbott, and the East Asian Federation under Ti Abazu. Fascism does nothing but oppress people, it steals their joy, their family members, their freedom, their property even. Under fascism, crimes of unspeakable evil are committed, take Nazi Germany as an example.

I call for a global war against fascism. Capitalism may be bad, but fascism is just as bad, and arguably more of a threat towards our way of life. Every non-fascist nation must work together to crush every evil fascist nation, and liberate their people, with freedom and socialism. For no longer shall the fascist scum threaten the people of the world. The Axis alliances are vast and numerous, after Ardoki destroyed the original one, their are multiple successor alliances, all eager to destroy Ardoki and the United Left in a fit of revenge. These Axis successor alliances are a threat. A threat which must be watched carefully and with great attention.

When I say 'global war against fascism', I don't mean immediate military intervention at against every fascist nation. No, that would be jingoistic, which Ardoki is not. I call for a war of propaganda, of sanctions and embargoes, we shall isolate them, they shall collapse from increasing pressure. War shall only be used against those fascist alliances and organisations which act aggressively. If a fascist nation attacks a non-fascist nation, we shall defend the innocents from fascism, and proceed to liberate the poor oppressed creatures under the fascist rule of the fascist aggressor. The United Left has the duty and responsibility to spearhead the anti-fascist movement. The United Left, along with the comrades here in Ardoki, and beyond, shall crush all the fascist scum of the world, if they dare move a toe out of line."

The speech went for about half an hour, afterward there was a 10 minute long applause for the President, and a Rave was held for the rest of the night, with the President showing off her awesome dance moves.

To Cut Or Not To Cut?
Milli Anolasya, Ohe Anolasia Millional | The Anollasia National

Protesters in front of St. Mary's Cathedral in Government
Park

Jefferton, Anollasia - Since yesterday, protests have occurred along Peace Avenue and other parts of Jefferton. People do not have to worry at the moment though, as these are peaceful protests, mainly with signs and banners. Protesters have stated the reason for their protest is the high income tax rate of 98%. One protester who claimed to be named Adem said, ''We are tired of the government robbing us consistently with their high taxes...We understand, they need the money to support welfare, education, and healthcare, but surely they can use their money more efficiently? Maybe a cut on the spending of welfare...''

Hundreds of protesters gathered in Stevens Square and the marched along Main Street to Peace Avenue with their signs and banners. After that, they marched through Government Park, up to the steps of the Anollasian Government Building.

Prime Minister Selim Atacan responded, ''We are trying to make tax cuts, but it's not that easy, these things take time. We have already cut a small portion of welfare expenditures.''

However, there are people who are against the cut on welfare, specifically the homeless and people working in welfare centres. One worker stated, ''You can't cut welfare! It's been pretty much an Anollasian tradition since what, the term of Prime Minister Harry Goodman in the early 20th century? These people need it, it may be a matter of life of death for them! If you cut welfare completely, I will not hesitate to call the government as murderers. There's a reason why many of us are living here, and it's because of the compassionate government. But if things will change...Consider me gone.''

This topic seems to be a topic of controversy everywhere, on television, radio, newspaper, Internet...If things carry on, this may even leave a mark on Anollasian history as the largest protest of the 20th century.

President Jahanara Kant of the Socialist Republic of Ardoki Talks About the Threat of Fascism to the World, Again
Ardokia Centra Novaĵagentejo | Ardokian Central News Agency

President Jahanara Kant of the Socialist Republic of Ardoki at the press conference, giving her inspiring speech to the
masses.

President Jahanara Kant of the Socailist Republic of Ardoki gave magnificent speech about the Order of Axis Nations while at a press conference for a new Ardokian film she (along with Premier Sikandar Aadekar) is staring in, A Heruist World, which details how the world will be when Ardoki finally conquers it and establishes the Heruist World Republic, a world state which follows the Ardokian socialist ideology of Heruism.

Here is her brilliant speech:

"The Socialist Republic of Ardoki shall liberate the world. The entire world. We shall bring everyone Heruism, the most joyous ideology in the history of mankind. Heruism is perfect. Just like Ardoki. Howver there are evil forces who wish to stand in our way of the liberation of the people of the world. They lurk in the shadows, plotting, and plotting. Those conniving capitalist and fascist pig-dogs wish to stop us bringing liberty, freedom, prosperity and happiness to all the people of the world. We cannot let them get away with this comrades. We must not let them get away with it. The future of the universe depends on us.
We cannot fail the people of the world!

One of the major opponents of the Ardokian quest to liberate the people of the world, no our quest to liberate the people of the universe! Was the old Axis/Cebu Cooperation Pact (Axis). However Ardoki single-handedly destroyed that evil nazi fascist alliance, and scattered their members. Some, have seen the true light and joined the United Left. However, others continue their plotting against Ardoki. They wish to destroy us and our grand ideal of freedom and socialism for all.
We cannot let them succeed! We must not let them succeed!

Just like the ratish agents of the bourgeois which they are, they scurried, creating successor alliances. All of which have either collapsed, or remained insignificant. The Order of Enlightened Nations (OEN), another alliance which The United Left, spearheaded by Ardoki, crushed. Have created successor state, desiring for vengeance against Ardoki and the United Left.
It's rather pathetic really. They should join us, adopt Heruism, and become good socialist nations, just like Ardoki.

However, like any pest. They find a way to annoy you eventually. A new fascist alliance, called the Order of Axis Nations (OAN), has been founded. A coalition of some former members of the Axis and the OEN. This alliance is still insignificant, and can be crushed by Ardoki easily, if it so desires. However they are growing in numbers and strength everyday. Like the Nazis, they plan horrendous crimes against humanity. They plan to start a hegemony, using trickery and aggressive actions.
How much longer can Ardoki and the United Left sit back and watch their evil plans of world domination? When will they enact their nazi-like policies against innocent people?

They want a hegemony. They want to conquer the world, for their nazi-style world dominion and evil policies such as genocide, seen on a scale never before.
Can we let this happen? When shall we have to intervene?
The Socialist Republic of Ardoki shall be bringing this up at the United Left General Chamber in a few days. We hope the rest of the United Left see the threat this nazi alliances poses to the entire world.
Long live socialism! Down with fascism!"

The speech was met with a thunderous applause from the hundreds of reporters and other civilians present in the room. Premier Sikandar Aadekar, and other key people from the film also joined in and supported what she had to say. The Premier said; "She is a true genius. Almost as smart as myself. I'm proud to have you as a partner."

For those interested, A Heruist World can be seen at all Ardokian cinemas, as well as foreign ones. There are already over 400 million views of it in Ardoki alone, it's going to be a record breaker.

President Jahanara Kant of the Socialist Republic of Ardoki Talks About Islamic Terrorism and its Link to the Order of Axis Nations
Ardokia Centra Novaĵagentejo | Ardokian Central News Agency

President Jahanara Kant of the Socialist Republic of Ardoki explaining
to the masses how the OAN supports Islamic terrorism.

At another press conference today, unrelated to A Heruist World (out at cinemas now), President Jahanara Kant of the Socialist Republic of Ardoki revealed some shocking revelations. The Order of Axis Nations (OAN) funded Islamic terrorism. This came as quite a shock, but such actions from fascist scum could only be expected. However the chief perpetrator of this act was the Armed Republic of Jazakstan, the founder and leading nation of the OAN. Such a silly move on Jazakstan, do they want us to liberate them ahead of schedule? It would seriously not be a hassle for us? We would actually enjoy it?

I'll just leave it there, and allow Comrade Jahanara to sum it up in her own words:

"Comrades. I have some startling revelations to, reveal to you. The Order of Axis Nations has been funding Islamic terrorism. For how long I don't know, it is probably continuing from their old predecessors. We believe it has been going on since the establishment of the old Axis/Cebu Cooperation Pact, the Order of Enlightened Nations were no doubt also involved.

We only became aware of this monstrous act quite recently when a bunch of Islamic terrorist organisations declared war upon us. The Ministry of State Security managed to intercept a telegram from the highest echelons of the Jazakstani government to all of the terrorist organisations who declared war upon us. After a little research we discovered the OAN has been doing this thing since their very own founding. They mainly assist right-wing and Islamic terrorist organisations, however they have been know to assist anarcho-capitalist ones as well.

Through exhausting work from the Ministry of State Security, we have discovered that the OAN wishes to conquer the world and establish universal and compulsory Sharia law. The Order of Axis Nations is a fundamentalist Islamic organisation.
They must be stopped! They must be crushed!

They are bigoted and stupid religious people! They cannot be allowed to live outside of a rehabilitation centre until they are deemed cured! The OAN is pure evil! As I've told you all before! When shall we have had enough of their evil actions! When they have become Islamic Hitlers? By then it would be too late.

Now Comrades. My new clothing line for children is 25% off until the end of the month, for children who are part of the Young Communist League of the Socialist Republic of Ardoki (YCLSRA). Remember to bring your childs ID card, there's a limit of 5 items per child, and hurry before your desired item runs out."

Such wise words from such a wise woman. Long live Comrade President Jahanara Kant!

Nazi Alert: "Supreme" Leader of the Jazak People and Defender of the Motherland, Alexandr Modya
Ardokia Centra Novaĵagentejo | Ardokian Central News Agency

Looks like nazi scum, is nazi scum. Alexandr Modya,
leader of the Armed Republic of Jazakstan

Welcome again Comrades, to today's version of Nazi Alert! Now the world is full of nazis, but sometimes they are hard to spot. That is what we are here for at the ACN Nazi Alert headquarters in Ardokiurbo, finding, and putting alerts out, for all nazi sum we discover. For the protection of the people of the world of course.

This weeks Nazi is the Jazakstani leader Alexandr Modya. He styles himself; the "Supreme" Leader of the Jazak People and Defender of the Motherland, I have never seen an ego so large comrades, never in my career working for ACN. Not only does Alexandr Modya lead a nazi country, he even dresses like a nazi as well. Just look at his clothes. Are those the clothes of a respectable leader? Just look at Premier Sikandar Aadekar, and President Jahanara Kant, they dress respectably, and classy. Unlike Alexandr Modya, who dresses like nazi trash. His uniform, it looks as if it was just taken of a Wehrmacht soldier. It is an exact replica of a Wehrmacht uniform! For those who do not know what the Wehrmacht was, it was the Nazi German Armed Forces, Wehrmacht is the German name for it.

Furthermore, his country. It is like the founder of it took out a copy of Mein Kampf and based it upon that. Really? What were they thinking? Nazi Germany worked so well before, didn't it? Oh, wait! Nazi Germany committed horrendous crimes, and tried to take over the world! Then it was rightfully crushed! Is this what the Jazakstani government wants? To follow the footsteps of Nazi Germany? Do they want to play 'Nazi Germany vs. USSR' with us? We would be happy to oblige.

The extreme nationalism and xenophobia in Jazakstan is just disgusting. They have literally gone a step further than Nazi Germany! They even believe in their own, perverted form of Lebensraum. They believe they are the 'most' evolved form of humans, and therefore have the right to the whole planet. What? Are they stupid? Do they even have a basic understanding of evolution? Do they even know that all homo sapiens are literally the same, there is only very slight genetic variations? Obviously not! It seems as if they are stupid, they don't even have a basic understanding of simple scientific concepts. How can they be allowed to run a country? Their lack of intellectual abilities explains their nation's backward state in scientific and technological fields though.

They also wish to exterminate all communists! Ardoki is a socialist state, which follows Heruism, an ideology based upon the world of Karl Marx. Therefore we are communists, since we wish for the eventual establishment of a communist society (which is basically just a worldwide Heruist state). They wish to reeducate us, or kill us if that fails. The idiots! That is only wishful thinking! We shall crush them if they move a toe out of line. Such disgusting brutes they are, worthy of rehabilitation.

So, judging from his nation, his nation's policies, and his clothes. We can safely establish that Alexandr Modya , himself, is a nazi. He is nazi scum, who should not be allowed to run a country. He must be stopped! He shall be stopped!

Next time, we shall be looking at Erin Terten, of the Republic of the Philippines. He is often called a nazi, but is he one? Next time we shall find out together. Until next time comrades, keep a watch out for nazi scum!

Socialist Republic of Ardoki Stands Firm Against Genocidal Ponies
Ardokia Centra Novaĵagentejo | Ardokian Central News Agency

These Sentient Ponies wish to eradicate humans. They are rabid with
genocidal fervour. They must be viewed with extreme caution.

Comrades, an evil pony nation; the Greater Pony Herd have announced that they intend to exterminate the innocent humans of the Medwedian Democratic Federation. This unspeakably horrible act, is in response to a few ponies getting killed in the Medwedian Democratic Federation for committing crimes, including theft and murder. The Greater Pony Herd wishes to commit genocide on a scale not seen since the holocaust. As the proud protector of mankind. The Socialist Republic of Ardoki must not let this happen! The United Left must not let this happen!

President Jahanara Kant released a statement on this issue. Here it is:

"This planned genocide against humans is just disgusting. It only further shows to the world, the true nature of the sentient pony. Vicious, vile, uncouth, disgusting, wicked, nazi, sadistic, psychopathic, mentally ill, stupid, and reactionary!

The Socialist Republic of Ardoki wishes for peace to be established. We seek dialogue with the Greater Pony Herd, in an attempt to avert a crime against humanity. War is not what we want, it is what no one wants. However if this monstrous act goes forward. The Socialist Republic of Ardoki shall have to intervene to protect the innocent humans who will be exterminated by the pony menace. The United Left claims to be protectors or the innocent humans of the world, I don't believe they would just sit back and watch this horrendous act evolve. I expect them to join us, in defending the innocent humans against the genocidal ponies."

Word has it that the Red Army has been given orders to stay on alert, with an order for limited mobilisation a distinct possibility if this incident gets out of hand. Here at ACN, we love peace, but we hate crimes against humanity so much. We hope for a peaceful resolution to this conflict. However we would support Ardokian intervention if the pony menace dare show their true colours.

We shall keep you up-to-date on this story. Follow us on SikandarBook, Jitter, ArdokiTube, ArdokiPlus, and many others. Or just subscribe to our instant email notification service, where we shall send you emails of breaking news, as soon as the article is written.

Jazakstan Signed its Death Warrant
Ardokia Centra Novaĵagentejo | Ardokian Central News Agency

The Country of Jazakstan. A nation which started a war,
and shall pay for it in a great ocean of blood.

The Armed Republic of Jazakstan, a long time rival of the Socialist Republic of Ardoki, and an enemy of the United Left, and freedom in general. Has decided to insult the departed founder of our grand nation. Javar Heru, Vanguard of the Great Revolution. They dared to compare him with the nazis. Which is so sad, considering Jazakstan is a nazi state, they even proclaim that their ideology, Raxism, is similar to nazism. But at the same time it is incredibly insulting to the memory of Javar Heru, as well as insulting towards the Socialist Republic of Ardoki, the Ardokian people, all the people whom Heruism has saved, and humanity in general.
This time Jazakstan has gone too far! This time Jazakstan must be punished! This time Jazakstan shall be punished!

From this moment on, and until further notice, the Socialist Republic of Ardoki shall cease all diplomatic relation with the Armed Republic of Jazakstan. The Ardokian embassy in Jazakstan is being recalled, while the Jazakstani embassy in Ardoki is being expelled, they must leave within 24 hours or be forcibly deported. All Ardokian nationals within the Armed Republic of Jazakstan have been advised to leave as soon as possible, while all Jazakstani nationals within the Socialist Republic of Ardoki have been told to leave within 48 hours or face deportation. All Jazakstani aircraft or ships are advised not to approach Ardokian maritime territory of airspace. Any operative of the Jazakstani government found within Ardokian territory, or Ardoki's sphere of influence, shall be immediately detained and shall automatically waiver all rights. They shall be detained indefinitely, and shall undergo whatever treatment the Ministry of State Security (MSS) deems fit. Any person Jazakstani deemed a threat to Ardoki shall be executed.

The Red Army of the Socialist Republic of Ardoki (RASRA) has been put on alert. All active forces within it have bee warned to prepare for imminent conflict, while the reserve forces have been told to expect a call for mobilisation in the near future. Premier Sikandar Aadekar said that; "...a nuclear strike is off the tables, for now.", this is a good sign for the Jazakstani people at the moment. However the Jazakstani government is just so Hitlerite. The people of Ardoki are told not to worry, and go about their everyday lives. If a conflict occurs, it will be like stepping on a stag beetle. There is nothing for us to worry about.

Unemployment falls rapidly following de-isolation, embrace of Heruism

In the two years following Cyllea's de-isolation, unemployment has fallen extremely rapidly, largely thanks to foreign companies and construction jobs. Just before the de-isolation process began, unemployment was estimated to be at 88%. However, now, with more and more residential area's being repaired and businesses and whatnot reopening, a recent government poll has put this figure at 67%, a 21% decrease. Most of these jobs have been construction jobs, which have been crucial in the rebuilding of cities and other things, but retail has also played a large role in decreasing unemployment. A new boom of employment is expected to follow, as the government is building mass amounts of weapons factories, which will not only be used to rearm Cyllea's military, but also to sell weapons to the rest of the world

Widespread condemnation of religious oppression in Ardoki by government officials

The ongoing oppression of religion in Ardoki has reached its boiling point with the Cyllean government. The Empress, in a weekly press conference, slammed the Ardokian policy on religion, stating "The Ardokian government is acting completely out of line in what its doing. 'Rehabilitation centers' for nothing other than having faith! Faith is extremely important to the Cyllean government and people, and I think I speak for all Cylleans when I say that these actions are completely unacceptable to us." Shortly after, the Minister of Trade, Mr. Hakan Alys, stated that in the meantime, Cyllea will be limiting trade with Ardoki until full sanctions can be imposed. Currently, there is a bill going through the elected chamber that, if passed, will impose heavy sanctions on the Ardokian government and officially condemn the Socialist Republic of Ardoki. This all comes amid a brewing war between Ardoki and jihadists, in which the Cyllean government has stated that it will not get involved.

Comrade Premier Alexander Andronikas Announces International Campaign Against Discrimination

Comrade Premier Alexander Andronikas outlining his
plans to combat discrimination on an international scale.

Comrade Premier Alexander Andronikas in a press conference today outlined his plans for the eradication of discrimination worldwide. This is coming from a man who is both a genius, and the kindest and best person to ever live, and probably to ever live. His brilliant plans are a momentous effort to bring the tried, and tested, Ardokian method of rehabilitating uneducated bigoted fools, into respectable and intelligent citizens. This program has been in effect in the Socialist Republic of Ardoki since 1924, and has had remarkable, and incredibly common, success stories. This program has successfully enabled fascists, racists, sexists, homophobes, supporters of capitalism, libertarians, hateful religious people, and many others. This program is worth its weight in gold, it successfully rehabilitates countless people (it has an 84% success rate in the first couple of months, 98% in the first year, and 100% after two years.), and turns them into model citizens.

Other countries have wrongfully lambasted the Ardokian rehabilitation program. Calling it "indoctrination", "like concentration camps or gulags", "brainwashing", "human rights violations", etc. However these criticisms are from the very mouths of the fascists, bourgeois, and imperialist monarchs. They cannot be trusted or believed. They do not know the truth about our public service. It isn't cruel, inhumane, or an act of indoctrination or brainwashing. We are helping these wretched souls. We are elevating them to a higher state of consciousness and happiness. All of the patients are grateful and thankful once they've been successfully treated.

A patient goes into a rehabilitation centre stupid, and bigoted. They are given their own room with access to recreational devices (such as books, video games, movies, television, etc.) to keep the entertained and happy. Everyday, for about 6 hours, the patients undergo rehabilitation. They have joint sessions with other perpetrators of their crime, where specialised psychiatrists help them understand how their beliefs are wrong and incorrect, and they are helped to overcome them. They watch educational films, and read educational materials. They personally see the stupidity and illogical nature of their beliefs, and undergo a process of enlightenment, where they discard their horrible beliefs and become good, model citizens. The patients go on excursions once a week where they see how there views are harmful and wrong, and meet the people their views negatively effect. They are given access to a team of psychiatrists at all times, who assist them on their journey of enlightenment. The patients have a decent amount of recreational time, where they can bond with each other, and discard their harmful views altogether as a group, under supervision of course. 100% of successfully treated individuals say that they loved their time at their rehabilitation centres, saying they are happier than ever, they even say they would've payed for the process, however the process is completely free for all.

You see comrades. The rehabilitation centres are a great place, the patients love them, and so do the friends and families of the patients. The rehabilitation program has helped millions of people, and hopefully other nations take up the offer of our Comrade Premier, and implement the system in their nations. All harmful views must be eradicated, and this is the nicest, most humans, and most efficient and effective way possible. We hope other nations will realise this.

Comrade Premier Alexander Andronikas Authorises Expansion of the Red Army Reserves
Red Worker Daily | Ardokian Central News Agency

Saturday 5 July 2014

Comrade Premier Alexander Andronikas

Comrade Premier Alexander Andronikas, in an order earlier this morning, authorised the Red Army to expand the number of current reserves to 20 million, from their current level of 12 million. This shall bring the Red Army Ground Force Reserves to a number of 18 million, with the Red Army Air Force, and the Red Army Naval Force each receiving a million each. Their are currently 10 million forces of the Red Army active, with 8 million of them being in the Red Army Ground Force, and around a million each to the Red Army Air Force, and the Red Army Naval Force. The quota is expected to be reached by the end of this year.

Comrade Premier Alexander released a press statement explaining the reasons behind his authorising of the expansion of Ardokian reserves:

"Ardoki is a free, happy and prosperous nation. However some nations are jealous of that, some nations hate us for that. They want to eradicate us, they want to oppress us. It is my duty as the Premier of the Socialist Republic of Ardoki to make sure Ardoki remains free for eternity. We shall not let the, fascists, the capitalists, the imperialists, the monarchical tyrants, the faux-socialists, ruin Ardoki. The land of the free and prosperous. This cannot be allowed to happen. That is why the Red Army shall increase in power and numbers to meet the threat against our way of life. The threat against our freedom and prosperity.

Long live Ardoki! Long live Alexanderism!"

Comrade Premier Alexander has not ruled out the possibility of further expanding the Red Army reserve forces, if the need be. However he said that the new levels should suffice for the time being.

Ardoki shall rise to be able to defend itself against any, and all threats. All enemies of Alexanderism, of socialism, of communism, shall be swept aside, like dust is swept aside by the broom of a noble worker.

Comrade President Minodora Dumitrescu Praises the Leadership of the United Left
Red Worker Daily | Ardokian Central News Agency

Saturday 5 July 2014

Comrade President Minodora at the press conference praising the UL.

Comrade President Minodora Dumitrescu in a press conference today graciously praised and thanked the leadership of the United Left for all they've done for Ardoki, the other members of the UL, and the world in general. She praised member states such as The United Motherland, and Bojikami whom are the main leaders of the United Left, along with Ardoki of course. This wonderful act of friendship and praise shall hopefully be returned by the members of the United Left.

Here is an excerpt from her speech:

"The United Left is a force for justice, equality and freedom in the world. Without it, the world would be a much more horrible place. Without it, fascists, capitalists, and monarchists would run amok, ruining ever country the interact with, oppressing the people and forcing them into slavery and poverty. Without the United Left, the world would probably be in complete shambles.

The United Motherland, and Bojikami, two of the main leaders of the United Left, are due for a rapturous applause for their efforts and deeds. The noble country of Bojikami founded the United Left, it was she who welcomed Ardoki in as an equal member. Bojikami deserves the respect of all nations in this alliance. The United Motherland joined the UL after Ardoki, however that does not make it a lesser member. While it did openly attack Ardoki quite early, attempting to get it kicked out based upon allegations which were proven to have been completely false. The United Motherland came around, and eventually came to show Ardoki all the respect it reserves. The United Motherland is a major player in the United Left, and she is responsible for the fruitfulness of this alliance, and should be commended for that.

The Socialist Republic of Ardoki hereby commends The United Motherland, and Bojikami, for their efforts and actions toward the greater good of this alliance. The Ardokian people are a humble, modest, and altruistic people. We do not ask for anything in return for these kind words. We simply wish to express our sincere feelings of thankfulness to this magnificent alliance, and all its brilliant members."

Expansion of the Syndicate of Militant Atheists Announced by the Communist Party of Ardoki
Red Worker Daily | Ardokian Central News Agency

Saturday 6 June 2014

Comrade Imelion Yarlovia, General Secretary of the Syndicate of Militant Atheists

The Communist Party of Ardoki announced earlier today, that the Syndicated of Militant Atheists shall undergo a massive expansion, an expansion not just limited to Ardoki, but an international expansion. The Syndicated of Militant Atheists is an organisation of the Communist Party of Ardoki devoted to 'The promotion of atheism, secularism, secular humanism, rationality, science, and the extermination of all forms of religion and superstition.' The Syndicate of Militant Atheists was founded in 1909, by the Communist Party of Ardoki to combat superstitious and religious beliefs on an international level in order to liberate the worldwide proletariat. However the organisation has been limited to Ardoki, as other countries were scared of the mass support of the people it holds.

The Syndicate of Militant Atheists is a welcoming and friendly organisation, membership is open to everyone regardless of their religious beliefs. Membership is compulsory for ever school aged student from the age of 6, and until tertiary education is completed (at ages 22 or above). Adult membership is estimated to be 390 million in Ardoki, with another 70 million in affiliated groups outside of the Socialist Republic. Every month, members go to a meeting at their local branch where they learn about ways to combat religion and superstition, as well as how to help the religious and superstitious. It is common for members to sign-up for assistance duty, where they volunteer to help a religious person become an atheist, this is mainly only an issue with immigrants who are quite often religious, however sometimes, though very rarely, an Ardokian may undergo a temporary period of insanity. Members also help make posters, music, videos, cards, and other tools which can assist people worldwide in converting to atheism. The Syndicate of Militant Atheists is funded by both the Communist Party of Ardoki, and member dues.

The planned expansion of the Syndicate of Militant Atheists, shall involve the setting up of branches worldwide. In an effort to bring atheism, and secular humanism to the people of the world. This is done in an effort to help and cure them. They shall disregard their superstitious delusions, and become rational and logical human beings. It is only hoped that this effort for the good of humanity will be accepted by foreign nations, and people. We can only hope they see the benefit of rationality and science, over superstition.

The Imperial Confederation of Cyllea Wisely Lift Sanctions they Unjustly Placed Upon the Socialist Republic of Ardoki
Red Worker Daily | Ardokian Central News Agency

Monday 7 July 2014

Flag of the Imperial Confederation of Cyllea

Weeks ago, the Imperial Confederation of Cyllea placed sanctions upon the Socialist Republic of Ardoki. These sanctions included a travel ban, and a cessation of trade between the two nations. While these sanctions did not harm Ardoki politically, or economically, they seriously deteriorated relations between the two nations. A secret government source told me that these sanction by Cyllea were taken as an act of aggression. The fledgling Cyllean nuclear program was seen as a threat, and my secret government source said there was talk of the planning of a preemptive strike against Cyllean nuclear facilities. However that is all my source knew, or all he would tell me.

Yesterday, the new head of state of Cyllea, Empress Ma'dame Maraili Jantje, removed the sanctions placed upon Ardoki, saying; "Such sanctions stand in the way of progress for both of our nations. I would like to officially apologize to the Socialist Republic of Ardoki for aggressive actions taken by my predecessor. I hope that in the future, we can possible develop prosperous relations regarding trade and stability within our nations."

This act by the Cyllean government shall put our two nations on the road of friendship, and hopefully with time, our nations can maintain friendly relations once more.

Alos'teq Joins the War of Versutia
Gasêta'Pagruuset | The Leftist Gazette

In a sudden burst of Imperialism, the Alos'teqiin government has entered the War of Versutia. A war of expansion hasn't occurred since the Imperial ages, in which what was the United Socialist Empire of Alos'teq Diin Nastja had Naas Fem'teq, the Iraanerè Islands, and Alta Farosia under it's iron fist. The last of this territory was given up in May of 2014, as Alos'teq went into a transition from Empire to Republic. The Head of State herself had announced this war to the public two days ago on a televised speech in Tervaĵ Square.

Future map of the USRADN

"My fellow Alos'teqiin, I have taken it upon myself to improve the conditions of living in the Republic. We all know the ridiculously high population density that has plagued Alos'teq from it's birth. We have now reached a density of 901 p/km², and I have taken it upon myself to slice this in half. I have approved our entry into the War of Versutia, and in this war we will expand into the unclaimed territories on our southern border which was once occupied by the nation of Aionislon. When victory is reached, the size of our country will have doubled and the population density will be consequentially cut in half."

This speech was very popular among the majority of the population, of which typically has a pacifist stance. "This is a wonderful idea", says Paaŝto Sepiinek. "Our conditions of living will be vastly improved without consequnce to the native population, of which are already very pro-Alos'teq from the days of Aionislon." The displeased populace has been staging protests in Tervaĵ, Kjêra, and Kjedtaara. "This isn't a war on Fascism!", screams one protester in reference to the Defence Minister's statement about the upcoming conflict on Fascism. "It's a war to turn Alos'teq into what it once was! A Fascist, Reactionary Empire!'

Ardokian Citizens Arrested in the Empire of Shazbotdom
Red Worker Daily | Ardokian Central News Agency

Monday 7 July 2014

Comrade President Minodora Dumitrescu Speaking About the Issue.

Four Ardokian Citizens, and members of the Syndicate of Militant Atheists, have been arrested in the Empire of Shazbotdom for the simple act of spreading atheism, secular humanism and rationality. This act is a breach of international law and human rights, and a shocking travesty of justice. Four innocent men and women were attacked, and detained by law enforcement officials of Shazbotom, and were placed in a prison. Prisons are a breach of human rights, that is why they are no longer used in Ardoki, however the Empire of Shazbotdom still uses those horrible things. There is no safety or comfort for a prisoner, those innocent Ardokians are being forced to endure horrible conditions, and they haven't even been charged yet.

Our wise and beautiful Comrade President Minodora Dumitrescu spoke out about this current situation in a press conference. Here is what she had to say:

"... We know that four Ardokian citizens, who are members of the Syndicate of Militant Atheists, were arrested in the Empire of Shazbotom. According to Shazbotdom officials, they were merely attempting to spread atheism to the poor deluded people of the Shazbotdom colony of Alraibris. Apparently this isn't permitted by the Shazbotom government, and the Ardokians were confronted by local law enforcement. Shazbotdom claims that the Ardokians attacked them, however this hasn't been proven. The Ardokians are now locked up in an Shazbotdom prison, awaiting a possible trial.

I'm genuinely worried about what could happen to these innocent people. They are all young, and so eager to help the innocents, that I think it would be shameful if they were convicted of any charge. The Ardokian government is ready to work with the Shazbotdom government, in order to sort this situation out. We hope they are willing to work with us."

Comrades, we can only hope justice prevails in this case.
