"...Oregon's largest city is celebrating tonight as the Portland Thunder beat the Seattle Seahawks to win the Super Bowl, the first in their franchise's history.

"In international news, the United States will be taking a more minor role in the Bayern Project. The Defence Department issued a statement earlier today that indicated the project has provided a great many tangential benefits in aerospace development, but that the intended airship designs simply do not appear to be tenable in the current defence paradigm.

"The Vietnamese application to purchase the decommissioned USS John F. Kennedy has been tentatively approved. It is reported that the primary point of negotiation for the U.S. will be the establishment of an airbase in Hanoi.

"And finally, the Scandinavian Union has purchased three Spearhead-class high-speed catamarans, equipped with General Atomics railguns. Further negotiations over production rights for the Zumwalt-class destroyer have been underway for the past eight months but have yet to be concluded.

The Azteca Republic


Conference Room, Presidential Palace, Tenochitlàn
Age took its toll on Montezuma quite a bit. His sideburns were engulfed in a complete shade of grey and wrinkles entrenched themselves on the corners of his eyes. 24 years of rule, longer than he expected. He was 65 and planned to stay in power as long as he could hoard it. The Secretaries if the various departments gave their daily reports to him. He tuned in on key secretaries but in reality he heard what he wanted to hear. The Secretary of Education and Academics Nando Chinal was speaking,
... have seen an enrollment of almost 646,000 new students nationwide in our universities. The Academic fund has seen a healthy flow of money from federal funding. Accountants have estimated a grand total of 30 billion dollars have been invested in it. 45% of the money goes to school equipment and renovations, 30% of it goes to financial aid, and 25% of the rest goes to building new schools. Last year we have taken a massive initiative and have opened up 30 new schools overall, 15 primary, 10 secondary, and 5 new universities. Literacy rates are expected to pass the 90 percentile mark by early 2025.

Montezuma was impressed by this new initiative. He strongly believed in a solid educational foundation. The future generation are going to succeed his generation and he wanted them to be the brightest minds on the planet if they were going to carry on the nations sovereignty. Next who spoke was the Secretary of Finances Juan Mutzalo,
Mr. President, our economy has finally climbed into a surplus domestically. We have eliminated 80% of our public debt, but we still owe a few nations across the board.The Coffee and Textile industries have been booming in Guatemala, the automobile, electronic, and Oil and Natural Gas in Mexico, and the drug trade in Honduras has brought massive wealth in. Sir, with the last 6 cartels in your control this is bringing in the country alot of side money, money that can be used to buy more industrial and consumer goods for the country. Our GDP per capita is around 30,000 dollars that's why I propose to impose a 8% increase on national taxes. This is expected to bring in an extra 30 billion dollars on too of the revenue we are receiving. This could find more projects like development of our gas reserves in Veracruz and oil wells in Tampico.

Montezuma like the idea of increasing oil and gas production, it was true that he ran the rest of the cartel ring. Should the international community especially the US find about that it would sure come back to haunt him. But, this drug money built him many Palaces nationwide, summer retreats, and beach residencies, hell it even upgraded the Presidents Residency. Not to mention the drug cartels acted as his goons. Next who spoke and finally was Secretary of War and Defense Amier Zunca,
Mr. President, as you may know since 2018 the state of Yucatan has declared independence. And for two years we have allowed it to run its own affairs and conduct mediocre international envoy's to other countries. Now is the time to bring back the severed limb and let Aztec culture assert itself over those inferior, putrid Mayans. The High Command has allowed it's senior officers to begin planning in the War Room as we speak. With your permission we can begin the revised and newly improved Operation Soaring Eagle.

Montezuma nodded, Zunca grinned. It was the 2nd War of the Yucatan all over again, but this time they were gunna get it right.

War Room, Department of War and Defense, Tenochitlàn
A satellite image of the Yucatan laid in front of the Generals on a computer table. It was 3 senior officer from 3 branches of the army conducting the operation. Gen. Coatl of the army, Air Marshall Chimalpopoca of the AirForce, and Admiral Itzil of the Navy. Each officer had his own task and objectives but coordinated with the next. The Americas was about to see the finest apprehension of a rogue region in one excellently and accurately executed operation. The High Command also intended this to be a great show of force to other nations who contemplated on opposing the mighty Aztec forces. Gen. Coatl spoke first,
I have mobilized 50,000 troops from the Macairibo and Tlateco garrison, along with 300 M1Abrams along with 300 BMP-2's and 500 D-VM Bufalò artillery pieces. My objective is to seize major interstate highways, telecommunications, and try to seize the Capitol as quickly as possible. Once all the roads are under my control my forces can move easier. We are expecting a re-run of the 1st Yucatan war. The artillery will be emplaced around he state firing at Chimalli training camps, armories, barracks, garrisons, supply depots, and weapons cache's. Collateral damage is expected.

Air Marshall Chimalpopoca then spoke,
I have scrambled 60 F-18 Hornets and 40 Su-24's to begin delivering airstrikes across the state. Civil Centers, commercial centers, hospitals and schools will be targeted by my pilots. My goal is to assert dominance over the air. Ill also deploy 50 Mil Mi 26's with 320 troops and 10 BMP-2's to secure Cancun. In the last war we manages to destroy the Chimalli Mirage fighters while on the ground but now intel suggests they may have 10 Eurofighters,and 15 MiG21's. That is the only resistance we'll expect in the air, intel also claims that the Chimalli were big buyers of OWN industries products so they may have upgraded retro style AA weaponry from WW2, were not clear. Nevertheless, the airstrikes will cause major collateral damage more expected than our first run which was interrupted by a surprise Russian invasion.

Admiral Itzil finally spoke,
I have deployed 5 frigates and 4 Ticonderogas to the coast of the Yucatan. They are equipped with Tomahawk missiles and are ready to fire on any Chimalli Mayan centers and police stations. We'll try to soften up their defenses. I can ready 4,000 marines with 100 t-80's and 50 BMP's to storm the beaches of Cancùn. Once we secure the tourist city the road to the Capitol will be much easier. The frigates will target Mayan cultural centers as they are thought to be harboring most of the Chimalli militia weapons. Collateral is expected.

After the generals stated their goals the War Room was in an influx of activity.

4 hours later, Republic of Yucatan (Rogue breakaway state in Azteca Republic)
The F-18 Hornets and Su-24's arrived over Yucatan airspace without warning. Within 3 minutes of their arrival a hail of missiles was lead down upon many major cities targeting barracks, supply depots, major road junctions and occasionally busy Mayan street markets and parks. Within another half hour both the army an navy arrived at their positions. 50,000 Aztec Republican troops crossed the borders. Some encountered heavy resistance from Mayan Chimalli border checkpoints and strongholds. Nonetheless they rapidly seized their targets; major highway junctions and telecommunication centers. They paved the way to the Mayatlan, often terrorizing the towns and villages they go through to get to Mayatlan. The army High Command set another objective to secure the Yucatlite oil fields with our doing harm or damage to it. However, the Huizilan Refinery was struck by heavy fighting between the 32nd and 45th company against the Chimalli militia. The Mil Mi's buzzed by in the sky heading towards Cancùn. The Navy was off the coast of Cancùn and began firing missiles at their targets. Some missiles hit hotel buildings due to sloppy calibration. The Hotel Managers and Mayan police told tourists to stay in their hotel rooms or wait to be escorted to back to their hotel. Many American tours its were on the beach as soon as the missiles started barraging the Yucatan country. The Foudre LPD's carrying the marines deployed and were in coordinating with the Mil Mi's enroute to the Yucatan. So far MOBCOM reported 60 casualties. Operation Soaring Eagle No.2 now begun.

Marbury appeals to Parliament over increased Military Spending

LONDON - Prime Minister Lord John Marbury appeared today infront of Parliament to ask for a 'improved' military budget- one that would include increases in funding across the board. The proposed plan would bring overall military spending at its highest since the end of the Cold War, something many are calling a 'Defense Binge'.

Marbury, previously, among other titles, Ambassador to the United States since the early Bartlet Administration, came back into Parliamentry politics in 2014 and won the Prime Minister seat in 2018, and although military spending had generally been in the rise, Marbury has certainly made himself out to be the military PM.

Description

Designed as a lower-cost alternative to individual rocket launches and for servicing space stations, the Dawntreader is a reboot to the older, more costly, space shuttle program. Utilising newer, higher durability engines, fuels, and designs of the modern era, as well as a larger payload to allow for fewer flights and a larger payload than previous shuttles, the Dawntreader is purposed for long endurance flights, as well as powered flight to and from space, allowing for less planning and more emergent flights.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has three ODVs: ODV-1 Dawntreader, ODV-2 Excelsior, and ODV-3 Odyssey. The Dawntreader made her maiden spaceflight in early 2016, with personnel from the United States, Israel, and Canada. Future planned missions will include personnel from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), and the European Space Agency (ESA).

President Nekeovich laid back in his desk chair at his office. Elections where soon, and his four year term was almost over. As the first official president of the New Slavic Commonwealth, he hadn't done much. He wanted to do something before he could possibly be voted out. He sat up from his chair and began to write.

To: Federal Republic of Germany

We wish for a military alliance between our nations. All wars of Germany will be of the Commonwealth and all wars of the Commonwealth will be Germany's. We hope you accept our offer.
Sincerly,

"Liberté, égalité, fraternité"

"...The in-progress super carrier literally named "Anonymous" has received a even bigger budget for even it's slightest spending. However, the navy has not been showcasing long exposure to some of the footage taken of the construction. This cancels much of the received information to be executed as true, or false. Either way, the construction continues."

"Today marks the (official) end of French Guiana's independence referendum. As it turned out negatively, slowly less people supported it. And thus its result. Minor protests haven't been sighted for the past week, the recent poll displays only 10-20% of citizens in French Guiana support separation from France, a major decline in a short period."

"The French military is currently using weapons, some decades old. A possible reform has been announced, resulting in some minor or major changes to whom the French military utilizes. This includes mostly guns, but rumored possibilities are tanks, aircraft, patrol vessels, and more. Once under completion, the personnel will be equipped almost immediately. "

"That's all the issued statements for today. This is Maxwell Garding, signing out."

CEO Rower went up to the roof of the 32 story office building to smoke. It was a very busy day at Hark.Co. HQ. They had to handle immense amounts of paperwork generated by the opening of their new Sub-firm-Fast-food-chain "RealMeal". Over 1000 RealMeal restaurants were established around the globe, offering food at insanely low prices. The mostly synthetic junk sold in RealMeal tasted very good, but doesn't have much nutrition value. RealMeal employs very few people. Food production and distribution is automated. Only few Cashiers, Truck drivers, security guards engineers work for RealMeat.

After Mr. Rower smoked his joint, He went back to his office and called the head of RealMeal's sales department to ask how well RealMeal is selling "food" around the globe...

It was 9:00 PM. President Bolivar was tired from a day of hard work. He was already deeply troubled by the apparent military buildups of the major powers. The press pressuring him for official responses added more to that stress. After countless hours of paperwork and meetings he was finally ready to call it a day. He had an email on his screen, composed and ready to be seen. He flashed a weak, tired smile as he watched his final task, ready to be finished:

To:The Head of The Federation
From: The President of the DSSSA
To whom it may concern,
Hello. As you know, the DSSSA and The Federation share fairly large borders with each other.
In effect, it seems only logical that we should form an alliance which promotes open borders,
free trade, and military cooperation. Thank you.
Sincerely, Simon Bolivar, DSSSA President.

University of London releases report on new 'Real Meal' chain - It's not good

LONDON - The University of London released its report today on the items in 'RealMeal', a London based start-up food chain that's coming in with a bang: over 1,000 food chains opened all over the world.

"It really takes the term 'Junk Food' to a whole new level", Proffessor Anglesey James said when she was asked about the food.

A online petition directed at Hark. Co, the parent company, to 'smarten up there food', has already gained 10,000 signatures and small boycots of the stores have emerged, It is unknown if a larger protest is planned for the Hark Co HQ right here in London.

Both Hark Co and the Food Standards Agency refused to comment.

[Harkback Union]

"Its selling, but we have some other problems" - Said the director of the Sales Department
"What problems?" - Replied the Director
"These meddling nutritionist call our food junk and some governments are threatening to ban our stores outright, but that's not everything. There was a small incident in Tokyo."
"What Incident?"
" I don't think we should talk about it on the phone... and I'm not the pers... Hey, wait. No! HEL..."
*noises*
Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...

The CEO calmly put down the phone on his table and took a walk around his spacious office. He was looking for inspiration when he spotted a billboard in the distance advertising the newest Icar.
"Yes! That's it!" He said to himself before returning to his desk to finish RealMeal's PR plan for the next quarter.

The Federative Republic of Brazil

Two fighter jets roared overhead. They were new, part of a major effort to modernize the Brazilian Military. They were of Brazilian design, but shared many features of the Russian SU-35. Right now, the Brazilian Military was in a war games exercise, allowing more training of the new weapons. With Brazil's new carrier coming in around September, and the Sao Paulo being modernized, the Brazilian Government wanted a military to match the shiny new ships... even though the Sao Paulo has been part of the Brazilian Navy for some time. The Ship, designated the Rio, was to set Brazil much closer to being a Blue Water Navy, an attempt to let the world know that South America was not a third world hell-hole. With the Brazilian Economy surging, with thanks to the World Cup in 2014 and the Olympics in 2016, the populace enjoyed the same sort of economy boost that the United States did in 1946. With the people do all they can to keep the Brazilian Economy on top, they were happy with the government's current status. The Brazilian Government is preparing to implement a legalization of Marijuana at the end of the year, following enormous pressure from the country's Leftists.

The Brazilian Government was also afraid of the sudden feeling of Imperalism from its neighbor, the Federation of Argentina and Chile, as they prepare to annex Uruguay. Brazilian Forces are being mobilized, and reserves are being told they may become active at any moment. The Brazilian Government will express its concerns to the United Nations in the future.

The secretary paused. He refreshed the page. He rubbed his eyes. He did a double take. "No, it can't be true! The president will blow a fuse when he sees this!" Looking at the unhealthy statistics, the secretary, a nutrition expert himself, was horrified. Originally, when RealMeal was first introduced in the DSSSA, it was assumed that it was a harmless company with food that was not the best, but completely edible. The effect was it had been regulated loosely. Now in the light of these facts, the course of action was obvious. Ban the restaurants from the country or face serious consequences. He opened up his email inbox and started typing a new message to the president.

[Zenoch]

Novak Hannover, Prime minister of the youngest nation in Europe, was worried about a third world war.
Sure, no outright declarations of war had occurred yet, but all the signs were present. South America was about to burst in a continent-wide war, there were rail guns floating around in the North Atlantic, and every other country had plans for a supercarrier. These things weighed heavily on the Prime minister's mind as he prepared to thrust his own nation into this global arms race. Of course, this made Hannover look like a class A hypocrite, complaining about the militarism that had gripped the world while he himself armed his home nation, but this was an unfortunate necessity. For if the new United Lowlands was to survive in this brave new world, then it would have to adapt.
"Call in Geralde." Hannover ordered an assistant, who left immediately to summon the German diplomat.
While he waited, Hannover signed a few military development plans. The main area of change would be the navy. Currently, it consisted of 4 battle ships and a handful of cruisers and subs, led by an old cold war era British Carrier. The new plan would give the navy enough money to construct a dozen or so warships along with a new, modern carrier. Also, plans were in motion to develop an advanced fighter that would be technologically superior to any in the skies currently, but that was years in the future. For now, the Prime Minister had other things to worry about.
Batista Geralde walked in.
"How may I be of service?" the diplomat asked in a German accent. He was technically a native of Belgium, but had grown up in German-controlled Luxembourg.
"Write a message to Germany asking for an alliance, then travel there personally with these documents." Hannover said as he handed the man a folder that was sealed with the Royal Crest.
"Right away." The diplomat said as he walked out.
In a few hours, the following message arrived in Berlin:

OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION OF THE UNITED LOWLANDS
To: Germany
Our two nations have shared a border for nearly all of their existance, And yet, we have yet to come to an official lasting peace. Therefore, the United Lowlands would like to begin talks with Germany about a possible alliance between our two nations. In light of a global increase in tensions, an economic and military alliance would greatly benefit both our great nations. An official diplomat will arrive shortly to discuss details.

" The picture that we will show you at the end will give you insight into what it might look at. But it basically will carry a squadron of combat drones to strike at targets deemed to dangerous for normal pilots, and becuase normal planes would have a hard time in the submersible. There expected to be completed by 2035, or later, and 4 are planned, one for each fleet. Now back to Jousef in the studio.

The economy was doing quite well as East Africa aws one of the fastest growing economic regions in the world for nearly a decade. The world's prominent economists commended Paul Mtumbe, a prominent economist himself for making East Africa a middle-income country and many were beginnning to believe that it would become a newly industrialized country. In his office however, Paul Mtumbe was shaking wondering how he could counter the threats of imperalism in Africa. As the Italians conquered North Tunisia, he was worried the EAF would soon become a target and so he secretly ordered all ilitary offials to come to the EAF capital in Arusha. He wrote in paper in order to make sure that any records of him talknig wouldn't suface. He wrote"We must work together, the Europeans are coming, THEY ARE COMING, I want all agencies to be put in top alert and a satellite program to be secretly funded. Also ask the Indians for an alliance. We must acquire technology soon". Paul Mtumbe himself was working with the Minister of Defence and Industrialization as he gave them 4$ billion dollars as Paul Mtumbe announced a program to rapidly industrualize the country's technology and militray infastructure.

In 2020, Paul Mtumbe continues to work with the Minister of Defence and Industrialization. The EAC has secretly acquired the technology to build cars since the technology was announced 5 months ago to top military officials. Paul Mtumbe also announced to the people that the government had created a Cooperatino that would begin building cars as car assembling factories are being built across the country with the government using local and international materials to build the cars. The Military is also working with new projects and weapons as well as a total of 10$ billion was dedicated toward the military technology of the EAF.

Hans-Ulrich Rudel Air Force Base, East Prussia
Midnight

The leaders of the German government and a few generals stood in the Hans-Ulrich Rudel Air Force Base's underground construction room, and there they saw the partially-finished three Heavy Command Cruisers; Saturn, Jupiter, and Neptune. They would be proud military aircraft, but the leaders of the Military did not like them and thought they were unsuitable for military use. "Those airships are big, clumsy, and frankly, a waste of the Military's time." "I quite agree, General Struden."

The generals then left and refused to accept the Airships into military use once they got completed. "President Ludwig, what do we do now?" "I don't know, Becker. How about we use them for commercial airline transportation? They could carry much more passengers than regular airplanes and be somewhat faster." "No, Ludwig. I want them to be used for the military." "Why don't we just decide in 2030?" "I like that idea, President." "So do I, Becker. So do I." The men then went back to Berlin.

To the United Lowlands
From the Federal Republic of Germany

Greetings,

I completely agree with your proposals of an alliance between the Federal Republic of Germany and the Constitutional Monarchy of the United Lowlands. I wonder why it did not occur to me earlier that we should have made an alliance. I hope this alliance will be prosperous for many years and decades to come and ward off any threats to our external and internal security.

It only provides 2623 squaremeters of office space but it costs much less to maintain than an office in The City. Its also more Isolated from Civilization and has its own Network Hub so its safe from cyber-attacks.

Meanwhile, RealMeal has launched a new marketing campaign, promoting healthy eating by offering a free apple to every costumer who spends more than a dollar in a RealMeal establishment. RealMeal now also sells overpriced salads that are made of actual salad...

The Health Minister typed furiously. Clicking print, he called in the mailman, the letter read :

To : RealMeals Russia Division
Do to your managers comments, we request you remove all franchises and all money made since then, over to the Russian Government, if the franchises are not removed within 3 months, we will forcibly deport all higher ups of the Real meals within Russia

Sincerly,
Health Minister Ivan

Canberra, Federal Republic of Australia
The final result of the Australia Armed Forces Modernization Bill was received. Through the wonder that is Interactive Democracy, everyone could vote on bills. Of the 30 million eligible voters, 27 Million were in favour and 3 Million opposed. The Bill passed.

The Bill proposed the expansion of the Air Force and Army and removal of all current naval vessels, to be replaced by a larger Air Force. The Air Force proposal would take until 2027 and Army would take only months to a year. In light of the decision, President Turnbull ordered 50- Modernised King Tigers, 60- Modernised Panthers and
20- Modernised Pattons for the price of 10 Million dollars.

Chancellor Fitzgerald began contacting other international powers to gain friends and allies.
First on the list was the United States, the traditional friend and ally of Australia. It was time to renew the alliance and friendship once more.

TO: THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
FROM: THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF AUSTRALIA

To our American friends,
we send this message to you today in the hopes of renewing our alliance and friendship now and into the future. We wish to support the United State's efforts for world peace one way or another. We hope you feel this way about Australia as well.

Next on the list was a far away, yet powerful nation, Germany. Germany was strong, and it was time Australia got some German allies

TO: Germany
From: Australia
Our esteemed German friends,
Long have our countries lived in co-existence without much contact, but now we enter a new era, one where where you are on a globe does not matter, for everyone affects each other. We hope that we can gain an ally in continental Europe with you and you can gain one in the Indian and Pacific with us.

It was getting late, so Chancellor Fitzgerald would have to wait till the next day to send the next message. Hopefully by then he could get a reply from the Germans and Americans.
