With congestion in Kalaspia-Shimarata at an all-time high, tolls are to be introduced on new roads being constructed.
"This is a great idea and will help to reduce the carbon footprint and make people think about how they commute," said a Yaromir resident, who asked not to be named. "With the roads either clogged with congestion or requiring a fee, more people will walk or take public transport, reducing the stress on the environment."

April Fools Hacker attacks 'Soyuz', thousands affected


In a malicious April Fools prank, thousands of accounts on Grandian social networking site, soyuz.gd, were hacked. The 'April Fools Hacker' obtained the passwords and personal information of thousands of users at random, which could lead to further difficulties in the future for those affected. The Kaltan University of Technology has published a report warning users that malicious hackers could strike at any time and to keep both their information safe and passwords strong.

When your authorities catch the spastic, how will you punish him/her. We have sent 30 troops to track the idiot and send the moron to your authorities!
Kalaspia-Shimarata's flag represents the Union between K&S. The dark blue represents the sea and the light blue represents the sky. In Kalashi language considers light blue and dark blue to be different colours. England colonised, and unified K&S, between 1774 and 1953, and English, light blue and dark blue are considered to be the same colour. Therefore, the contrast between dark blue and light blue represents the union, but the differences between K&S where as blue being two but simultaneously one colour represents K&S being two, but simultaniously one entity. The opposite to the symmetry represents the unity and indipendance of K&S, whilst also representing the Kalashi culture of opposite symmetry.KS is 75% Christian, hence the cross.

Каласпиа-Шимаратанский альянс, сделанное против Крисандо
Kalaspia-Shimaratan alliance formed against Chrisando


"The enemy of my enemy is my friend." That saying proved oddly prophetic today as Grandais formed an alliance with long-time rival Kalaspia-Shimarata against the common threat of Chrisando. While not everyone is pleased with the decision, some even going as far as to compare the government of Kalaspia-Shimarata to 'a horde of insane monkeys disguised as politicians', it is agreed that letting Chrisando run wild is a far greater threat to both the world and global misconception of communism than even some of Kalashim's more interesting legislation. It is hoped that the alliance will mend strained relations with Kalaspia-Shimarata and lead to legislative moderation for all involved parties.

Коалиция вторгается в Сардахар
Coalition invades Sardakhar


Following the commencement of the 'mass execution festival' in Sardakhar, a coalition of opposed states has now occupied 75% of the nation. While peace talks are now underway, there are plans for a third festival to execute military personnel involved, with the approval of said coalition. Grandian authorities have expressed disappointment, citing that while Sardakhar's actions have been condemnable, the actions of the coalition are not to be applauded either. Svetlana Ishutin, Marshal of the Red Army, on the subject: "Some of the coalition members have expressed bloodthirsty sentiments not dissimilar to Sardakhar's insistence that its actions are not genocidal and purely for the betterment of the nation...if these are to be the new leaders of Sardakhar, I shudder to think what effects they will bring to the poor oppressed peoples of the nation."

Егор уходит с поста
Yegor resigns from office


State Spokesperson Yegor Varnava has stepped down from his position as figurehead of the nation.
"I'm getting too old for this. It's time for someone new to bring across a youthful image of Grandais to the people of the world." he said today.
Elections for a new State Spokesperson will begin in two months, giving candidates time to prepare material and solidify their positions following the sudden decision.
While others agree with his persuations, there are some who fear that increasingly militant right-wing minorities will bring about an undesirable effect. One internet commenter noted: "Were it not for the death of Radimir Mitya during the Necrosis Crisis, I fear that his supporters would have continued to stir up unwelcome right-wing sentiments in our cities. With a new election coming up, we must hope that their actions won't give power to people in support of his evil views."
Marshal of the Red Army Svetlana Ishutin has been given the position of de-facto State Spokesperson while the position remains empty.

Catastrophic floods cause casualties


Unforeseen levels of rain across the eastern side of the nation have caused widespread flooding. In Chernogolovka, the deluge has caused the overflow of the city dam, resulting in waist-deep levels of water across the city and surrounding areas. An underground carpark was also flooded, causing the deaths of 6 people. Citizens are advised to seek high ground and avoid lowland areas. The Air Force and Emergency Services will be sending helicopters to move the excess water to drainage areas and lakes, and evacuate affected. If you or anyone you know is in danger, please call Emergency Services.

ELECTION PRELIMINARIES


Following the sudden resignation of Yegor Varnava from the position of State Spokesperson last month, Grandais has been left without a figurehead. This will be amended by the conclusion of national elections this week. Each state soviet has elected one potential national representative following a month of state elections to decide each candidate. While previously the position of State Spokesperson has held little legislative authority, concerns that elections have become a popularity contest between the states have led to rumours that the new State Spokesperson would be granted increased political power, in line with the leaders of many other democratic governments.

Nizhny Oblast - Petros Odolesk
In line with Nizhny oblast's position as the primary producer of petroleum products and byproducts, Petros has vowed to increase funding to mining operations and reduce pollution tax on the plastics and petroleum industries.
"While we, the people of Grandais, have worked hard to decrease our carbon footprint and help the environment, the truth is that developing nations simply cannot cope with the pressure to reduce environmental impact while working hard to develop their economy and place on the world stage. We can provide resources and jobs for these nations who require petroleum products and fossil fuels to function," he said on Monday. Petros' ultimatum did not come without criticism however, and his objectives have been lambasted as 'reckless' and 'counterproductive'.

Kemerovo Oblast - Anatoliy Yozhikov
Anatoliy has pushed for harsher immigration laws and punishments for illegal immigrants, increased border control and defence across the forested parts of the border, following concerns that would-be immigrants or hapless tourists would be lost in the wilderness or killed by animals. He also claims that the national borders in their current state are "wide open for enemy combatants to walk straight in and assail our good people." While his campaign so far has been successful, it has been marred by criticism and labels of overt militarism and nationalism.

Zavod Oblast - Vladlem Yaroslavich Ibragimov
Vladlem somehow managed to win the majority vote with his quiet campaign of stability. He claims that "the State Spokesperson should be chosen simply on their skills as a speaker; granting them any extra political power would be hazardous to the power of the people and soviets as should be the deciders in a socialist state." Vladlem vows to keep Grandais on its current track of pacifism and stability and veto any additional powers granted to the post should he be given it, but it remains to be seen whether this position will be enough to win him national leadership.

Oktyabrsky Oblast - Okropir Rakhaz
Okropir Rakhaz was the surprise elected candidate of Oktyabrsky oblast, making him the first Grandian of Khazmati descent to be selected as the spokesperon of a soviet in the nation's long history. He has supported increased trade and diplomacy between Grandais and Khazmat to ease strained relations between the two states, and has also pushed for relaxation of immigration laws. While he has the support of his oblast, detractors have labelled his campaign as 'hopeless' amid worries that Khazmati dictatorship would not take kindly to increased Grandian interests.

Kakheti Oblast - Yuri Pavlovich Kosaryov
Yuri won by a landslide in Kakheti oblast, supporting markedly increased border security, military funding, isolationism, and a return to aggressive military action. He claims that Grandais' current pacifist position "allows weaker and troublesome nations to walk all over us as we sit with our fingers in our ears and ignore threats to the nation and the world", and posits a more aggressive stance like that under the leadership of controversial former Marshal of the Red Army, Radimir Mitya. Nationwide campaigns from activist groups to discredit his position of 'dangerous far-Right nationalist rhetoric' have led to controversy.

Sakha Oblast - Artyom Banin
Artyom has campaigned for an overhaul of the economy in Grandais, citing that the current system, confusing to outsiders, and distrust of capitalism has led to a difficulty in attracting foreign enterprise. He says that "if Grandais is to be taken seriously as an economic power, it needs to adapt to a modern economic system founded on trade and business, not blind trust and goodwill."

Federal elections begin next week.

Heads up: news around the workplace is that those 26 people still reported missing in the Necrosis Crisis turned up in pieces sealed up in a bag underneath a bridge in Chernogolovka. Now I can't say for sure because of my NDA and, well, it wouldn't do well for my popularity if I turned up dead, but I think some sick bastard at State Security experimented on them and probably tried to weaponise the disease. We put the bodies in quarantine but results should be in shortly.

Кидлантианские выборы показывают непредсказуемость
Kidlantian elections show unpredictability


Opinion polls in Kidlantis ahead of their federal election are showing rapid change, and it's anyone's game. As of this time yesterday the Fascist Party led by Red Tyopen had the majority vote, but as of today the Kidlantian Communist Party have overtaken them in a surprising trend. Original forecasts for the election gave both the KCP and Red's Fascists a slim chance of victory due to its planned massive overhaul of the entire governmental system, a move for which Kidlantians were expected to be distrustful. But today's figures have political scientists revising their predictions, and the figures are sure to swing even more following the first of three debates later today. Rumours of voter fraud and foul play seem to be contributing further to the Fascist Party's loss of lead. Kidlantian federal elections are posted for March 12th.

While, due to the manner of its excavation, the object is not in perfect condition, it has been dated to approximately 800BCE. Archaeologists are yet to determine the exact culture to which this weapon belonged.

Since Grandais is a trusted nation and friend of ours, the citizenship prosses is made easier for citizens from Grandais without a criminal record. Aussie Republic is happy to let in citizens from such a trusted nation. However, there is the condition that you must learn atleast one Aborigional Language of your choosing, and you must live and work atleast 50 km from the boarders or Sydney and Melbourne for the first year. You may, however visit the two cities at any time, or pay a fee which is an exception to the rule

Социалистическая партия в последнюю минуту заявку на первое место в Кидлантианских выборах
Socialist Party pulls off last-minute bid for first place in Kidlantian elections


The final predictions for the Kidlantian federal election seem to confirm a victory for Xavier Lee's Socialist party ahead of the voting two days away. Inflammatory racial comments from Liberal candidate James Brock, along with an unexpected and tragic clash of non-human sapients with police at the capital resulting in the deaths of thousands has reignited the debate over non-human sapient rights, resulting in a massive boost of popularity for the Socialists, who are now leading in national and global polls. The Liberal bid is tied with the Fascists for second-place, while the KCP has dropped to a close third. Grandian politicians are overjoyed at the possibility that a Socialist government in Kidlantis may come to fruition, while bemoaning that it came at such a senseless loss of life.

National News

Новое законодательство поощряет свободу выражения онлайн
New legislation promotes freedom of expression online

Amid electoral debates, a joint council of state soviets passed national law today ratifying the Freedom of Expression Online Act. The motion, which allows Grandians to express overly critical opinions of the national government without fear of being arrested, is the first in what is likely to be a series of proposals to increase political freedoms of the citizenry ahead of the election. Heated online discussions over the candidates this year had raised fears of a crackdown on users who expressed negative opinions due to preexisting rules over political free speech clashing with online discussions in the past. Yegor Varnava, former State Spokesperson, expressed his approval.
"This younger generation of people, which has grown up with the ability to say whatever they want completely anonymously, is incompatible with current restrictions on political freedoms. I am glad that we are moving forward as a nation."
It remains to be seen whether the act will remain in its current form if the State Spokesperson is to be given more wide-reaching powers following the election this week.

i propose the new term 'magical friends' as a catch-all

Terror attack strikes Gikoravaya


The 'jewel of the Drakayan coast' saw a horrible spectacle today as the business district was rocked by an explosion. The cause is believed to have been an improvised explosive device, though there is no word yet as to who is responsible for the attack. Following the disaster, the Drakayan government has shut down all travel to and from the nation in an attempt to stop the culprits from leaving. These actions have been slammed by national representatives who claim it will cripple the economy and waste military resources.

Their details will not be released until authorities can confirm further leads in the investigation. Government departments have been brought to a standstill as they are checked for counterfeit notes that have entered the market. Financial advisors are taking the time to press for anti-counterfeiting measures on drachma notes.

I can't be the only one who saw Misha on The Voice Grandais last night and instantly fell in love. She's everything I could ever ask for in a girl. What was your favourite moment from her performance?

Operation 'Enclosure' to launch


State Spokesperson Anatoliy Yozhikov has announced a joint project with the Red Army. Titled 'Operation Enclosure', the project is set to identify possible weakpoints in the nation's security network and reinforce national borders.
"In case of a global emergency or threat, Grandais should be able to stand alone. If it comes down to the end of the world, we can ensure our continued survival without anyone else." the State Spokesperson said.
Our government contact has confirmed that security plans have been jumpstarted by the sinking of the TSS Winterwind and recent counterfeiting scandals.

"Our more pacifist demeanour in recent years has led to many enemies of socialism painting a target on us," said Svetlana Ishutin in a recent interview. "This operation is not to reduce Grandais to an isolationist economy, but rather to ensure that we can remain strong in the face of external threats. While our major findings will remain classified, we will be publishing frequent manifests on our military advances to show such villains that we are not to be trifled with."

Bloodless revolution in Bahiyyah brings anti-leftists out of the woodwork

In what the State Spokesperson has called 'an example for others to follow', Bahiyyah joins the bolstering ranks of socialist nations with an incredible revolution in which not a single drop of blood was spilled. Unfortunately, the announcement has already resulted in many right-wing nations expressing intent of violence against the new, vulnerable state. We will be covering proceedings as they unfold.

T-96 to enter service
Image


After a troubled history, the T-96 tanks are to enter service this November. Replacing the T-85, the new vehicles have performed amicably in combat tests. The first combat-ready vehicles will be seen in the Revolution Day parade this year. The T-96 is of no relation to the T-95 tanks purchased from Osea in 2009.

Christians publicly executed in Estoica


Over one hundred Christians were publicly crucified in the main square of New London today in a bloody and shameful display of power against the Christian minority in Estoica. There are confirmed reports from international diplomats that condemnation of the display has been met with personal insults and threats from Estocian officials.

"I need not express my opinion on these executions, as I am sure my revulsion is shared by all citizens of the free world," the State Spokesperson tweeted this afternoon.
Foreign Affairs Minister Alyona Zaytsev has expressed concern towards the unprofessional nature of the Estoican representatives.
"It is disappointing that the fanaticism taught by radical Estoism has spread far enough into the system that even the diplomats are expressing it," she said. "It does not bode well for any sort of negotiation or peaceful solution to the situation."

Glovanica and The Greater Aryan Race have already expressed intent to commence military intervention.

One of Serov's most well-known relics and attractions, the Church of the Blood of Christ, has burned down in what officials are treating as a suspicious fire.
The church, built in the mid-18th century, was one of the oldest in the nation.

New legislation set to ban online paywalls


Amendments to online content laws could be set to ban the use of paywalls for web articles. "Information should be free," says Oleg Ulyanin of the Serov soviet. "Forcing users to purchase articles or only have access to a certain number of free articles a week is little more than capitalist exploitation. We understand that these publications need to make money, but giving access to some articles to only a select few individuals is preposterous."

Should the amendment pass, it will no longer be legal to keep any journalistic article behind a paywall from a Grandian IP or using a Grandian top-level domain.

Those in opposition say that it would be easy for web hosts to move their paywalled content to another domain and circumnavigate the restrictions.

"All this will do is move successful e-businesses out of Grandais," said one citizen.
