75 nukes into space, where to?
Written by Charles Babbleroose

---

The Pendragonian Imperial Federation went to a bloody rage as it send multiple nuclear devices into space. The location where they are heading was quite unusual and unexpected. Rumors of the target location was Ralkovia, or to all Gholgothic states and member-states of the Brimstone Pact. This action was considered legal, according the WA Resolution #459 enabling peacekeeping operations to any nation wanting war with no legitimate reason.

The warheads are capable of obliterating everything within its range with no question. It was said that the size of the explosive range was at par 1,900km, but with 4 times the radiation range, so launching such device was extremely hazardous.

Ardokian Sanctions and Travel Ban lifted

The sanctions on Ardokian government officials and a travel ban forbidding Ardokian citizens from entering Cyllea and Cyllean citizens from going to Ardoki were lifted today during a session by the Appointed Legislative Chamber. The Empress, Ma'dame Maraili Jantje, who gained power after the sanctions against Ardoki were made, stated
"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."

Number of airports in Cyllea to be fitted with 'Solar Roadways'

Airports in Nai'yiri, Er'inea, Ech'dra, Ri'saw and Gar'nyse are to be fitted with 'Solar Roadways', the Minister of Transportation, Mr. Tamrat Setiawan revealed at a press conference earlier today. He stated,
"The solar roadways that will be implemented at 5 of Cyllea's largest airports are expected to bring in massive amounts of energy for the nation. The panels will be implemented on runways, parking lots and sidewalks at the airports, though not on roads. This is a testing phase for solar roadways, which have been proven to be very effecting in other nations. Should these be effective and bring money to Cyllea, we'll be conducting similar renovations to airports in Nasoki, Titos, Kabylie and Chillar."
The craze for Solar Roadways has grown significantly in Cyllea recently, with many business owners installing said panels in parking lots and sidewalks in front of their businesses. Additionally, the council of Nai'yiri is currently discussing fitting major roads in Nai'yiri with solar panels, due to Nai'yiri's position in a desert, where the sun is always beating and could provide massive amounts of energy for the city.

The Triumphant changed name

The Board of Trustees of
The Triumphant in an exclusive
press conference about brand changing.

VILLA QUIRINA, QUIRINALIA - After careful deliberations, the corporate brand of The Triumphant Trumpet had been changed for the first time to facilitate many erratum in the drafts being published earlier.


Accroding to Benword Johnson, The Triumphant's, the news group aimed not only to be more specific to be more enticing and willful to deliver true-blue journalism to the citizens of Quirina but also to the world in general. Apart from the growing turmoils at home region, the News Affairs Group was acclaimed by constituent news networks as their "eyes and ears in the world view."


"In line with this, we are very sure that truth shall always be liberty beyond any victory immeasurable. We stand as the government's and people's avenue towards a greater Republic and a state of power and prosperity for us all." As the ending remark of Johnson paved in, an applause from a small but influential audience aired inside the hall.

One of the opposition's leaders, whose name is not stated for protection purposes, mentioned that News Affairs Group is slowly becoming a state propaganda after a series of deliberations in one of the senate sessions in some country under Quirinese domain that failed to cover a special event, which is a debate between two parties in a session urging the head of state to stop joining the mainland's affairs on their rumored plan of nuclear missile tests. The Triumphant welcomed the opinion and mentioned that "state media does not serve the government but its own safety." He cleared that there are specific news groups within the country that are not covered by their administration, hence letting them submit news articles to The Triumphant whenever reasonable, but he also reiterated the due process follows with it.

Citizens raised Imperial flags at homes, govt allows

The Imperial flag in a
recruitment poster.

VILLA QUIRINA, QUIRINALIA - Citizens' homes in Quirinalia, Augustanica and Aleki started hoisting and displaying Quirinese Imperial flags gradually, weeks after the announcement of President Ranza of the protection of Vicin Bay and the signing of agreement with the Crontorians in the Vicin Bay question. However, the government did not allowed nor restricted the hoisting of the former national flag that was hoisted, bearing a bloody history of the country's past.

The so-called "Renegade Wars" was a series of diplomatic conflicts engage by few member nations of the Brimstone Pact and Gholgoth, during the 'peak days' of the Unifederated Council of Nations, a conglomerate of peacekeeper countries that was gradually declined after the wars. One of the highlights of the conflict was the erasure of Yutzkil, which came up as the official battlecry of the Armed Forces and the Grand Legion ever since. According to Raniwa University historian Melmark Ernvick, the conflict ensued because of Gholgoth's "cleansing" of world affairs "plagued" by multilateral alliances providing peace and security, which Gholgoth wanted be cleansed. The UFCN was one of the few who resisted, with its networks of alliances faltered due to Gholgoth's ever-powerful influence over.

The Magistracy released a statement regarding the citizens' sudden move of nationalism, that "the Government, at its earnest, is not promoting the past glories nor deluges it committed to other nations. However, the Magistracy and the whole government is not forwarding to the people to mobilize and prepare for a conflict unreasonable to happen, especially in this time of relative peace and prosperity enjoyed since the fall of the First Empire." Ranza affirmed the statement of the Magistracy and Villa Quirina about the said matter. "No matter what the people shout, it cannot be in effect unless the National Assembly and a referndum will be made for the Magistracy to create a motive for such motion. I am in no place, regardless my heavy responsibility, to make a war so illogical and barbaric such as that."


Quirina to start JAS launches, introduces HAMPBAR

---

Supposed missile platform of JAS.

VILLA QUIRINA, QUIRINALIA - The Minister of Technological Developments announced to the public the government defense project aimed to create a defensive network aimed to protect the Quirinese airspace and land territories all over the world, including Sondrian mainland.

The Minister revealed a few details of the Joint Armament System, or JAS, of the sequences and the system how it will fit to work in the military doctrine of naval superiority and shock-and-awe strategy of the Quirinese Miitary. The commonly dubbed "orbiting nukes" or "nukes from space" were clarified that the JAS was not, but rather a series of systematic ICBM launches administered by Quirinese-made nuclear weaponry and software. The program started after a series of Senate debates whether or not the Minister should consider acquisition and management of nuclear technology of the country to avoid bias of ownership by other constituent nations, although it will not hamper the ownership of the member-nations of their own nuclear weapons.

Also, the Arsenalium Quirinam publicly revealed the HAMPBAR, or "Highly-Advanced, Multi-Purpose, Battle Assault Rifle", aimed to replace and store, but still maintained, the standard service rifles of the all Armed Force in and out of mainland armies. The Army general Rudolf von Beransk cleared that constituent standing armies can still use their imported military equipments, but never expect resupply. They can maintain the contract given to them by the Miitum Quirinorum, the arms procurement agency of the Armed Force, but the Militum will never be responsible no longer for the maintenance of the contracts applied. Only few details were shown, especially its ability to change ammunition from 5.56mm to 7.62mm during battles. There came also variants of the rifle suited for different combat fields as well.

The Constitution clearly defined that the use of nuclear technology is only for the benefit of the people, but it has been flawed as an excuse to make nukes in every country in Quirina be acquired and used for illegal purposes. And for many centuries, the arms manufacturing and the defense industries were the top grossing economic powerhouse of the country ever since.


Vietnam dialogues planned

---

General Raymart Derkins assigned to
initiate ties with Vietnamese officials.

VILLA QUIRINA, QUIRINALIA - The Republic of Vietnam and the Great Quirina Republic, through a series of diplomatic exchanges, came up to plan a state visit here in Quirina by the Vietnamese and create newer ties. The diplomatic community of the Great Republic came into a hasty conclusion that the ROV will be given a chance to be part of the Confederation of the Brotherhood, or in Latin language, the Fraternas.

It was General Raymart Derkins who was assigned to the said diplomatic communication between Quirina and Vietnam. Along with the rising threats within the region, the Vietnamese, according to him, are a good place for an asylum in case a government-in-exile might be implemented, though it is the least expected, but the last resort. The idea was trashed by the Curule President and the Senate in particular, that such lowly idea that came up was a joke. Ranza reiterated that Vietnam holds an Asian haven of economic machinery in Asia, aside from the Korean Great Dominion, which is also part of the Brotherhood.

As of today, ministers and security directors are discussing the flow of the program that will follow through the awaited Vitenamese-Quirinese exchange.

Is Sassinia really so bold?
Written by Varel Ducant

---

The nation of Sassinia has recently declared war on Deutsch-Brittannia. The people of Deutsch-Brittannia, recovering from a violent civil war, are concerned that they are about to be dragged into a prolonged conflict. But will Sassinia actually invade?

Sassinia demanded that Deutsch-Brittannia become one of its protectorates, however this was rejected by the government, who received support from other nations in the Coalition of Monarchies. Sassinia has vowed to invade and forcefully take D-B under its possession. However reports suggest they will not launch an invasion force. One spokesman for the MOD had this to say. "Sassinia and Deutsch-Brittannia are separated by an ocean, to invade they would have to defeat both our navy and air force, an unlikely feat due to sheer numbers of our armed forces. However they will most likely try other methods to weaken our morale"

Having been granted an audience with the war council, I can tell you that it is highly unlikely that Sassinia will be able to launch a successful invasion. Our strategy, General Von Papen assures me, is ironbound. A CoM task force has been dispatched to international waters near Sassinia.

Hayabusan Royal Army Numbers Rise Dramatically
Written by Blake Herman

---

In the light of recent diplomatic tensions between certain nations and the United Kingdom of Hayabusa, the High Lords have launched a propaganda campaign, by the use of speeches and true information about both the power of the Coalition and the weaknesses of the possible enemy.

A speech made by the leader of Quirina, and approved by the Sovereign Grand Master, King Ramirez II, has been posted all over the internet on the most popular social media sites, and in posters, mainly in the massive Hayabusan cities of Edenguard, Birmingham, New London, and Newcastle. Country residences such as Altshire were notified via an official Coalition message about what was going on.

The results of this propaganda campaign launched by the High Lords was. A massive success. Hayabusan reserves went from 9.2 million all the way up to 11.4 million in a matter of a month, many young Hayabusan men signing up for the Royal Army to step up to the defense of their home country. 400,000 active personnel in former OAN and OEN vassal states have been called back to the homeland, as the OAN and OEN are dead, and the Coalition is a completely different alliance and supports a completely different idea of government.

However the campaign was a massive success, the Hayabusan Republican Party rallied in Edenguard to protest it, holding signs saying, "Why fight for such a corrupt country?" and "Abolish the monarchy, leave the Coalition!" Outrageous statements altogether.

"This campaign was necessary," says High Lord Andrew Peroutka, hand of the King and head delegate to the Coalition, "What the republicans don't realize or dont WANT to realize is if we dont bustle our defense force, there will be no more Hayabusan Republican Party. There will be no more Hayabusa."

"This is blasphemy!" shouted Melissa Webber, a HRP leader at the rally. "Our sons and daughters shouldn't be persuaded to fight for such a corrupt nation! I will not stand for any of it!"

Regardless of Republican protests, the campaign continues, and results continue to show.

Hayabusan Royal Army Adopts ACX Weapons System
Written by Charlie Allen

---

After searching for a suitable weapons system to replace the L85 for almost a year now, the Hayabusan Royal Defense Ministry had gotten word of the ACX-L Assault Rifle and begin carefully analyzing its capabilities, and the weapon was seen as fit to their needs.

The matter was brought to the Kings attention, and he placed an official order for it to be supplied to the Hayabusan Royal Army, and it was promptly accepted. The 25,000,000 ACX-L Assault Rifles were built and shipped to Port Torcester to be tested by Hayabusan weapons experts. The ACX performed optimally, with minimal problems reported by the appointed testers of the new weapon.

"This weapon is one of the best Ive ever held in my very hands," tester Samantha Hale says as she fires a few rounds off down range. "It has nearly perfect accuracy, its light weight, and the clip size is just enough to keep a squad down for a minute or two."

"The ACX is highly innovative, and is a very well rounded assault rifle in general." Eric Johnson says as he reloads his ACX. "The only problem I see here is the fragility of it. It can take mud and snow and such, but if you drop it with force, it will malfunction and will need a quick fixing. You need to SET it down, not slam it down."

Once the ACX was distributed to the soldiers, there were almost no complaints and were highly honored and excited to be able to operate such a perfect peace of weaponry.

King Alexandr finally speaks about the UL-CoM crisis

Speaking today at a political youth rally in Casablanca, King Alexandr finally spoke about the UL-CoM crisis. He described the state of affairs as "A cold war on steroids" He spoke to a crowd of roughly 4500 people.

When asked about the crisis he said..

"The situation at the moment, as you can all see, is not good. Threats of war have been made against CoM and not by a nation but by an alliance. Of course I'm speaking about The United Left. Their aggressive behaviour against the Coalition is not being unnoticed by us, not in the least. However, this does not come as a surprise considering their past illegal wars against other alliances. But they must know that we are not them, We have the full means to defend ourselves and we will defend ourselves. We urge them to think about their actions, they will slowly become a rouge alliance. There aggressive and imperialist nature is showing, Peace is the way foward, not war."

When asked what he suggests to other CoM nations he said..

"For our friends in the Coalition I would say this, For the meantime make your militaries a main priority, however, I would also urge calmness"

It's the first time the Royal Leadership has said anything about the worsening relations with the UF. He also talked about Detlands space agency, the rise of gun crime and immigration.

The King also spoke one on one to some of the attendees of the rally

Peregrino Governor Bans Witchcraft

by Annabelle Barca
SAN MARCO, Peregrino Province, New Edom— Peregrino heralds a progressive new era with a comprehensive law banning black magic, witchcraft and other superstitious practices coming into effect, officials representing the office of the Governor reported this Wednesday.

Governor Benjamin Zeror signed an Ordinance Saturday evening which will curb all these practices, and award stringent punishment for practitioners. Peregrino is the first province in the country to enact such a law. Laws in New Edom, according to him in response to deputations of citizens’ assembly groups in the provincial capital of San Marco, are vague and need to become more clear to protect people from the actions of dangerous cults and individuals.

The former Cornellian Empire Province, signed back to New Edom during the reign of Emperor Decentius of the Late Roman Empire has a number of local folk practices include use of witchcraft.

Among other things, the new law will ban inhuman practices such human sacrifice, rituals to enable sex selection by pregnant women, casting spells that control people’s minds, and rituals to contact the dead.

The governor signed the law after it was drafted and cleared by the provincial cabinet last Wednesday, a day after the murder of Father Florian, a popular itinerant preacher and radio host whose trailer was firebombed by Stregoi cultists created a public outcry and citizens’ groups made a direct appeal to the office of the governor.

The law states: “All forms of witchcraft—be it of magic, shamanism, folk medicine, spiritual healing, calling on elementals and spirits, veneration of ancient deities and archetypes, and attunement with the forces of nature—shall be banned in the Province of Peregrino. Law enforcement is to be given the full support of the state with a special advisory committee formed under the Governor to regulate this law. It is clear that this law is in accordance with the laws of the nation and is being put into specific practice here…and stipulates a sentence of minimum seven years in penal battalion service, possibly including public flogging or penance, and up to the loss of life by hanging.”

The enactment of the law officially must be reviewed by the National Government in Fineberg first.

The Province, still disputed by the Peregrino Independence Party, is divided in two, maintained by peacekeepers of the Cornellian Peacekeeping Organization, and there will be no attempt to persuade southern Peregrino to follow these laws as more important negotiations are taking place.

Government Review of Witchcraft Laws

by Annabelle Barca
FINEBERG, New Edom— The National Law Committee, consisting of members of the judiciary, representatives of the aristocracy and senior members of the Ministry of Justice are meeting over the weekend to review the proposed law making witchcraft a crime in the Province of Peregrino.

The Chief Justice, Bishop Zecharias, invited members of the Committee to his home in Fineberg over the weekend to consider the following matters according to the Chief Justice's chief of staff. First, proposed cases to be brought before the court in Peregrino are to be reviewed and determined whether they present enough of a threat to the peace of the community to be considered sufficiently criminal for the proposed stiff penalties. Second, whether according to New Edom's constitution this law would be acceptable, and third, whether present day interpretations of the Bible are sufficient to cover such a law.

Following this a formal vote by the Committee will take place and be put before the President of the Council of Ministers, who will decide whether he agrees with the recommendations or wishes there to be further discussion and review.

King Draugr X Arrives At Hospital And Refuses Treatment
Written by Ýavén Þöjnæuð

---

Earlier this evening King Draugr X was flown from his residency in Ýnsegrf to the Royal Medical Instatute in Jaersa for what his personal physician as acute renal failure cause from trams suffered earlier in the week. The King has been administrated to the hospitals but has refused treatment as of now.

The king has stated his reasoning for refusing treatment is that he is old and needs not to live any longer. "There is no reason for them to focus on me. I am 90 years old I have lived a full life and seen far more many things they someone my age will. I am happy and I know how understaffed our medical facilities are and I'd much rather them focus on saving the life of a young man rather then try to save me only to know I'll be back and only add a few extra years to my life." He said to is as he lay I'm bed with nothing more the a simple IV to help hydrate him.

With this in mind the Regency has been called up to take control of government and to choose a successor. While Prince Chrístaan is the clear front runner it is completely within the Regencies power to choose someone other than the heir apparent. This process is scheduled to take a week to choose a successor and with the kings refusal to obtain medical help arrangements for the kings state funeral have been made.

Queen Mara I

New Edom Joins Coalition of Monarchies

by Annabelle Barca

FINEBERG, New Edom—The Allied States of New Edom has formally joined the international organization known as the Coalition of Monarchies. This decision was reached following a general agreement in the Interim Governmentto pursue a larger extra-regional organization with the intention of having greater access to the process of peace, trade and international law.

Queen Mara the First formally signed the agreement on behalf of the Government of the Allied States in Edengard, Hayabusa. While a small expeditionary force will be provided to the alliance it is not expected that New Edom would be overburdened more than usual by military requirements.

“With our withdrawal from Jenassa,” General Martin Benajah, the Chief of the General Military Staff explained, “We have several units that we can commit to service abroad. It is a small price to pay for joint security. Increasingly we are building a network of alliances that protect our nation from afar, and we have by this time put formerly conscripted troops on reserve status or return to civilian life.”

As part of the conditions for joining this alliance, the Defense Council met to discuss sending the expeditionary force to prevent the acquisition of [nation] Deutsch-Britannia[/nation[ by Sassinia.

King Draugr X Dies After Refusing Treatment For Renal Failure
Written by Ýavén Þöjnæuð

---

After staying the night at the Royal Health Institute King Draugr X dies of renal failure. He had refused treatment earlier last night stating he was simply to old to keep alive. Many including his doctors said that he could have made it though as when he was administrated in the early stages of failure but as per law when someone refuses service the doctors have no right to intervene on the patients health.

This marks the end of a 60 reign of power which saw major reform to the nations economic system and social reform. Even with an increasingly secularizing population the King continued to be a beacon of Christianity and the Christian faith however he was also one to know that his beliefs and the beliefs of the population were different and was one to respect that difference.

Early in his reign he was a notable interventionist involving the Royal Insaeldic Ground Army in many conflicts around the world although as he aged his interventionism faded away and he started to run after a more peaceful militarily isolationism in favor of more diplomatic endeavors.

So far the possible successors to the throne as delegated by the now in session Regency Council has been whittled down to three people Prince Chrístaan, Duke Hermaður of Gåstðvaþ, and His Honorable Varúlfur Duke of íslåð. All have wright to the throne as per proclamation and power of the Regency Council.

Prince Chrístaan is king Draugr X heir apparent and has been a head figure in the nations foreign policy world active as an aid to many policy makers as well as orcas tarting military doctrines. He is an older man at 53 years of age and is of the typical royal education and background being a member of the military like is customary.

Duke Hermaður is also another Royal traditionalist serving in the military and is currently a Lieutenant General in the Royal Insaeldic Ground Army. He is the most conservative candidate being considered for the throne. Aside from being a member of the royal he has not been an involved member of the royal family.

Then we have Duke Varúlfur the youngest candidate at 37 years old and is king Draugr's Nephew. He is most notable for breaking the royal families military tradition and instead did traveling for many years before returning home and gaining his position as a Duke. He is well know for being a very public figure in the country again taking away from the almost secretive nature of the Royal Family which prefers to surround itself within the Aristocracy which obviously make him a very popular fugue.

The Regency council will have its final decision on who will inherent the Throne on the same day as the Kings state funeral on Friday.

With King Draugr X State Funeral Finished the Regency Council Chooses Successor to the Throne
Written by Ísléka Ælderdin

---

Today marked the start of a day long funeral for our late King whom died after choosing not to receive medical help for renal failure. Today is possibly one if the biggest televised events in Insaeldic history as almost 2/4 of the know television sets with the nation are tuned into the funeral as well today being designated a day of moaning by the state and is equal to a state holiday. With this we have also revived the official vote from the Regency Council.

In a close 5-4 vote Varúlfur Duke of Gærdið edged out the kings son Chrístaan for the throne of Insaeldor and will be coordinated as the king by the end of the month. This comes a big upset as many political corespondents thought it be a clear victory for prince Chrístaan as well as a shock to the Council if Commons. This however is a very popular move considering how popular the Duke is among the people.

Progressives have been praising the move to elect the younger more energetic and domestically minded person who has an extensive record with social and domestic issues and often acts in the Council of Commons as a mediator between the council and the royal family.

This ruling however comes at a blow for Traditionalist who not only wished to keep the monarchy strictly hereditary but with Price Chrístaan being at the forefront of conservative politics the loss to more progressive member of the monarchy was a step backwards for the already dwindling Comservative Traditionalist politicians.

Although with all the politics behind this regency vote the populace seems pretty optimistic about the detection in which the nation is heading in.

Panatia, allies nearly victorious over Sassinian forces
Written by The Triumphant

PANETIUM, PANATIA - After a few weeks of military engagement, the Sassinian invader forces were flipped under the table and became invaded by the Allied Royal Forces of the Coalition of Monarchies, under the auspices of the Grand Host of COM, which is resulting to gradual Sassinian defeat.

It was yesterday that the Sassinian news media groups announced the gradual defeat of their naval forces as "Sassinian fleet was losing ground, fast. Many ships were being destroyed by the incoming enemy missiles. The fleet was finally ordered to retreat, and the ships turned back for land. The jets, however, were different. They launched a kamikaze attack on all the enemy ships, flying down with speed", according to the publications with the same unedited sentences. In the low-earth orbit, the orbital weapons were self-destructed after it ran out of munitions and all rods launched, which claimed damage on each allied forces.

The Panatians were half responsible for the destruction of their device after an experimental virus was sent to the Sassinian government website in an attempt to open another theatre of war, which is the electronic warfare. Until now, the results were claimed successful without even seeing the overall performance and contribution of the virus in the self-destruction of the device by the Sassinian command.

Department of Transport Plans Amazing Race

By Annabelle Barca

CALLABAN CITY— The airships make their return to the skies as the New Edomite Ministry of Transport contract with Zeno Transportation Systems has begun completion. Two L5 Dirigibles, named the Queen Mara and the King James, are preparing to take to the skies. The Queen Mara will be carrying two valuable cargoes—aquaponics equipment to the remote mountainous desert regions of Haran Province, and Director of Griffon Airlines Jordan Kemp, who will be flying with the equipment, media representatives and the dirigible operatives to demonstrate how safe and reliable this form of transport really is.

This will be contrasted to traditional transport through the mountainous desert region, which is otherwise hugely expensive by helicopter or VTOL plane, or else long and circuitous by off road vehicle or pack animal, as no rail track has yet been reliably established.

“This will save the country billions in infrastructure,” said Minister of Transport Admiral Charles Rand to press as he paused to give an interview before getting on a plane for Callaban along with Dr. Nestor Khalkimedes, the Director of the National Science Foundation. “Dirigibles are the wave of the future for remote operations such as this, and I’m happy to say that this is yet another day that is a big win for science and for the future!” While the engineering and flight systems were designed by Zeno Transportation, the design for the interiors was planned by Queen Mara herself, who envisioned an art deco nostalgic approach with clean abrupt lines and contrasts to suggest the past meeting the future. It is hoped that this will also improve national tourism as two of the ten planned dirigibles will be used for passenger transport, giving toursts a clean, quiet and spacious way to travel akin to being on a cruise ship in the air.

The competing transport unit will travel as far as possible by plane and truck into the interior of Haran, and will embark by mule track the rest of the journey. Haranese Postmaster Ichabod Narbo has said, “I do not like to nay-say the Minister of Transport, but no other means has reliably been established as getting up into those mountains in this season. Helicopter pilots say that landing in the valleys is as stressful as landing on a carrier in a storm in this kind of season. Our mules may seem slow—but we’ll see. Nothing is guaranteed in this life except the grace of God.”

The Haranese Mule Train will be led directly by the Deputy Postmaster of Haran, Jarad Parn, who spent much of his life leading caravans into the mountainous, barren rocky area. “I welcome the challenge,” was his reply. “It is written that iron sharpens iron.” The Deputy Postmaster will be transporting aquaponics equipment as well.

And so good luck to both expeditions. They will depart by the end of this week with the best wishes and prayers of all concerned.

SAVARAJA REVEALS MILITARIZATION PLAN
Is this a stepping stone to modernize the Sancakurma?

Sancakurma forces in Nyagacakan City last June.

After a sea of debates regarding international politics and funds, a royal and council ruling has now forwarded the Visvaric/Victorialan Militarization plan, also known as "Operation Dragonpearl" yesterday. OP Dragonpearl allows the Bakaja Sancakurma a three year grace time and $3 Billion grant to allow weapons research and improvement, rehabilitation of other military necessities and maximize military recruitment programs within the country and it's diaspora populations.

Currently the Sancakurma council has planned to broker on Dangkal Industries, one of the prime weapons manufacturer in southeast Elysium. Improvement of the living qualities of the Victorialan soldiers is also underway as part of the OP Dragonpearl. The OP Dragonpearl was written by the Council and Holy Rajah in early 2013, seeking to improve the military dubbed by the media as the "Weakest group of soldiers in the world", with national ORBATS only counting 3-4 tanks and 10,000 - 50,000 active infantry.

The project has been criticized by political analysts, major figures and activist groups alike. Political Science professor E.E. Tamudha said that Dragonpearl is a "waste of time" and a probable "cause for unwanted conflict in Southern Telraina." The Telranic Levatine Church's cardinal Johan Godalafus showed disdain for the project, saying it is "not the way of peace, nor a way to show Visvaraja's power in politics", also noting that with the Savaraj "Being Levatine by faith, he should know better". The Savaraj and the council has addressed that the project will still go underway.

The Dragonpearl Project shall be effective by October 2014 (Gaihsvo 2696). |ॐ|

With Varúlfur Ascending To The Throne Prince Chrístaan Refuses to Concede
Written by Ísléka Ælderdin

---

It has been almost a week since King Varúlfur was selected to ascend the throne of Insaeldor winning the vote by the regency council to become the new king. However the son of the late king Draugr X Prince Chrístaan is not happy with the choice in leadership and has claimed that he be instated as the rightful ruler of the Kingdom. He so far has refused to concede to his defeat and has said he will take this to court. Prince Chrístaan faces many issues in this approach however as the supremem court has no authority to overture the ruling of the regency council as its work is law for the short time it is in power.

The King has stated that he has no intention of reconciling with the Prince because as he has put it "when a child trows a fit you must simply ignore and not cave into the fit" which has gained him some support in the political arena seeing as the Prince was an unpopular figure in the capital anyway known for being opinionated and stubborn leading may people to believe that this will not end as quickly has the king has said.

Many people however have supported the Prince everywhere from simple folks to aggressive political groups the most notorious being the Insaeldic Nationalist and Patriotic Army which has many members whom have been arrested for threatening the life's of royalty and many non-convicted terrorist suspects fall into their ranks as an organization and is considered a group to watch under Insaeldic law. The INPA have made numerous internet videos proclaiming the falsehood of the Regencies vote and have said they will not stop short of Civil War to install him as King but many withing the intelligence community say this is nothing more them violent rhetoric.

So far the polls show the King doing fairly well, in a poll asking wether they think the new King will be a good change for the nation 59% said he was a good change while 38% said he was a bad change for the government and only 3% said they had no strong opinion on the matter. these numbers however are nearly turned on their head when asked in mostly military communities and people who say he's a good change for the nation only make up 24% of the whole of those communities.

The King has so far proposed a cut to the military budget in place of more spending and investment into the nations healthcare and education systems as well as a change in the Insaeldic military doctrian making the nations military much more defense oriented and while these still have to pass through the Council of Commons this has the Conservatives in the Council fired up in opposition to the new policy.

while this might start to turn Insaeldic politics more turbulent we will simply have to see to find out about the future.
