This Morning, Prime Minister Benito Franco was not given Emergency power to help combat the Crisis on Mario Island. Parliament voted in favour of not giving power to Benito.

Franco then ranted during a press conference: "this country's government Is too soft, there too scared to do anything, no action against terrorism, and no action against government's sponsoring it.

If I had complete control, things would run smoothly, with action against terrorism and its supporters, along with a good economy and living conditions for this once great country, ruined by soft governments"

Its unknown how parliament will take this, as they have on many occasions, forced members to resign for similar remarks.

More on this story as it develops.

Keveran elections officially announced

Southport, Keverai
September has come quickly in Keverai and as the weather begins to cool down and autumn is in full force, elections in Keverai are due to begin. Jacques Clavere today opened Congress of Consulsp with a motion to establish an election date for this year, September 30. There are three expected candidates for the place of Chief Consul. The following is a summary of them.

• Burnell Reault (Party for International Progress)

The Party for International Progress (PIP) is a relatively new party which is committed to balancing relations with various power holders in the region. It advocates for distancing from Ainslie through further participation with local neighbours. It is likely to invest heavily into Jinlongnian development in order for an increase in bilateral trade. Burnell Reault will have an internationalist slant, most likely being a large figure in international politics despite Keverai’s small size.

• Jacques Clavere (Argus Conservatives)

Clavere is likely to have a steady and pragmatic hand with a Clavere administration in the future to look very similar if not exactly similar to the current administration. The Argus Conservatives are likely to work with neighbours based on their economic status rather than their morals or human rights history. It is likely that there would be a continuation of Keveran full neutrality if he were to be reelected.

• Eléjah Durpois (Party for Moral Alignment and National Enlightenment)

PMANE is a common major party in Keverai and generally attracts left wing supporters. Its aim is to break Keveran neutrality and align itself with liberal powers in the region. It is calling for a Constitutional Convention in order for a full democratic republic to be created. Durpois will likely rule similar, however, to a Clavere Government, with slight changes being phased in rather than quick change. This would be different to PIP which would change the nation quite quickly.

The election, in classic Keveran procedure will only become very prominent in the media a week before an election. This is done in order for residents to not be disrupted for a significant amount of time from their more productive activities. Updates to come as they reach us.

New Toll Road opened to improve traffic

KABAR SAHARI - 09/09/2017, 17:35

Pagar-Ratunia Toll Road will begin operations this weekend

Ratunia, Kabar Sahari - The construction of the Pagar-Ratunia road has been completed, and travellers are set to be charged for the journey from Sunday onwards when the road is officially opened. The opening of the road will be attended by President Justuva Susanto and accompanied by the Minister of Public Works, Brotoseno Malena and the Minister of Transportation, Ginanjar Eko.

Following a load test of up to 44 tons, the toll road will start operating soon after the ceremony by the President. The road will form part of the Sanggar Islands Highway Network and will be connected to several major highways in the network and beyond. The highway is set to ease congestion on existing roads to Ratunia, as it grows in popularity as both a tourist destination and a commercial hub. The road will connect Ratunia with the largest city in Samudera, Kotapura. The construction was slated to be completed by 2013, following a 2011 start of construction but corruption and terrain issues delayed completion until now.

Pagar-Ratunia Toll Road routes

Its completion is to cut travel time between Kotapura and Ratunia from six hours to two and is set to bring a huge impact to the local Ratunian economy. The new highway will increase the attractiveness of investment in Ratunia, especially in its tourist sector.

Its completion will cut travelling time between Kotapura and Ratunia, from 6 hours to just 2 hours. It's expected to bring a huge impact to Ratunia, as an ease off travelling between cities makes them more attractive than before, especially its tourist sector.

The highway was a joint project which included private and public involvement. The highway was primarily done through the efforts of Kerja Karya Company, a government business enterprise and the privately owned Greater Samudera Constructions.

Heists at Northern Atnaian Banks Work of SOAR and MLF

DAVLHAN, ROTWUUD-ANT-MILLAN PREFECTURE, ATNAIA - Following two weeks of tense stand-offs on Merrit Isle between Atnaian military and terrorist forces, SOAR and MLF have made moves on the Atnaian mainland. With a series of coordinated attacks on the banks of northern towns and villages, the terrorist organizations managed to make away with over $6 million in loot.

"How anyone can still stand by these lunatics I can't understand," said LISA spokesperson Cpt. Vera Andress. "They've devolved from terrorist attacks to bank heists. If anything, this proves how pulled thin these people are. Collapse is inevitable."

"We have reacquired the ill-gotten gains of a corrupt aristocracy," said a SOAR release following the heists. "Not earned upon the backs of their effort but on the work of others, then hidden away. Draconian in all senses of the word."

While investigations into the funding methods of SOAR and MLF remain closed, the Quorum has confirmed that it is unlikely that this attack was primarily meant as a method of funding their continued combat operations on Merrit.

"Whether this was a show of force or a misguided attempt at portraying themselves as a Robin Hood-esque defender of the poor, we do not yet know," said Robert North of the Quorum. "What we do know is that this proves the need for increased security across Atnaia. Asorist sympathizers are spreading their roots deeply. There's no chance that this hostile action was performed by lone SOAR cells."

This was followed by an announcement of increased domestic military presence in cities across the country. In order to combat SOAR and MLF operations that underine public welfare, the Hegemmon has authorized increased troop deployment and checkpoint procedures in public areas nationwide.

"Not only will this let us combat SOAR and MLF, but will further our fight against the Ticking Flu," said the Hegemon. "I am proud to announce that ARK and the NHS have announced that deployment of a symptom suppressing treatment for Ticking Flu victims is in experimental deployment in Schalkenmund and other drastically affected areas effective immediately."

This comes as welcome news. While the government has stated that they have no intention of rolling back quarantine procedures entirely at this time for fear of a second outbreak, Ticking Flu sufferers may be able to return to normal living within prescribed Ticker Zones in cities around the country as early as next month.

First Presidential Debate Ends, Experts are Unsure who Won yet

The First Presidential Debate of the election has gone off without a hitch as the candidates expressed and discussed their views on particular topics impacting the United Estates today. For this format, we have edited the transcript and video to include the most important topics and each candidate's initial response, the full debate can be found in a link at the bottom of the page. Additionally, the Electoral Commission has begun a survey of each debate to determine the popularity of each candidate during the debate itself. It is highly encouraged you participate here.

Moderator: Hello and Good Evening, citizens of both the United Estates and of the Western Isles to Veaux University’s Nicholas Favre School of Political Science and the First Presidential Debate, sponsored in part by Arendai International “Reporting what matters to all the Western Isles”. I am your host, Lucas James. For the next three hours, we will have all the Presidential candidates debate the following topics: The future of the Dormill-Stiuraian Economy, Gael Four and the Cooperative Union, and foreign policy of the United Estates in the East.

Without further ado, please join me in welcoming the Presidential Candidates, Mrs. Bertille Bellerose of the Liberal Party, Diplomatic Manager for the Argus Region and Most Honorable Ambassador to the United People of Xrevaro, Mr. Hal Theunissen of the Communist and Socialist Party, Mr. Windsor Leblanc of the Environmentalist Front, the Most Honorable Mr. Philippine Lémieux of the Liberal Party, Minister of the Treasury, Mr. Luus Fay of the Conservative Party, Mr. Justin Abraham of the Center-National Party, and finally Mr. Cedar Dyson of Dormill and Stiura Forwards. It is my great pleasure to welcome all of you to the Nicholas Favre School of Political Science and on behalf of the great citizens of the United Estates, we hope to hear the very best from you all tonight.

We will start with a general question to warm you up, Mr. Lémieux, what is your personal view of the future of the Dormill-Stiuraian Economy under your leadership, either as President of Minister of Treasury?

Philippine Lémieux: Thank you, Mr. James. As a whole, I see great progress and growth for the economy under my continued leadership. Though we are in a deficit as of now, the aim is to enhance our position as a creditor among our neighbors and increase investment into our economy. As President, I plan to also bring more freedoms for our companies and allow them to become more competitive in a new and fast growing market. The United Estates has bountiful potential just waiting to be put to use for the betterment of all.

Hal Theunissen: I would say that reining in the fat cats who drain the wealth from our people is more necessary for out growth than allowing them to operate with even more freedoms. More wealth for our citizens will allow them to then reinvest in sectors where they best think the money goes, not investors in New Avillon.

Windsor Leblanc: And here I thought I’d never hear a more backwards policy for economic growth in my life. You both are clearly disregarding the environmental impact of such hasty action. There’s still global climate change to worry about and the impacts our industries have on it and we have two people already disregarding that for their own personal gain!

Bertille Bellerose: We could also try to compromise on this, gentlemen. We clearly need to become more competitive in order to deal with our new deficit but we shouldn’t do that at either the expense of the average citizen or our fragile environment. As President I would work to balance all three to benefit everyone.

Luus Fay: It’s evident that this new deficit caused by the Most Honorable Minister of the Treasury is going to start sucking our economy dry if we don’t do something about it. We need to get control of our budget back and that can only be done by cutting unnecessary spending, even if many social programs that we tout over our neighbors have to suffer for it. Crucially, our nation must be properly defended from any kind of attack, including economic, which demands that we accumulate wealth through a vast surplus before our enemies abroad or at home starts to target our still growing industries.

Justin Abraham: I have to agree with Mr. Fay on most of his points, the defense of our nation is crucial if we are to become more competitive in the modern marketplace. Even if many programs have to suffer for it, the Dormill-Stiuraian Defense Forces, according to a study conducted back in 2014, quote, “[Requires] a budget increase of at least another 10% relative to the total budget of the United Estates Government in order to accomplish all missions necessary for our future defense.”, end quote.

Cedar Dyson: Though I don’t support it entirely, I have to agree with the Most Honorable Minister of the Treasury that what Dormill and Stiura needs is greater investment from beyond our borders. Yet at the same time, many of our social programs have become bloated with budgets far beyond what is necessary or proper for the tasks they perform. If we were to streamline these organizations and operated them like actual competing businesses, we will start to see that we can actually redirect a lot of money from them back to the citizens who need it the most.

Moderator: Thank you all for your insightful comments. The next question is, “What are your views on potential membership of the United Estates to with the Gael Four or the Cooperative Union?”, we’ll start again with Mr. Lemieux.

Philippine Lémieux: Cooperation between our neighbors in both Gael and further abroad is very necessary for the future survival of the United Estates, the Civil War has very much proven that. But I wouldn’t be too hasty in joining vast interregional organizations that have the power to govern over the entire nation. That being said, working better with these two in the realm of economy and security is in our best interests and I would focus on that as President.

Hal Theunissen: I call it complete hogwash to try and work with either organization. Both are only in to benefit the top of society and will do nothing for the workingman when they need it the most. I would argue that cooperation with fellow socialists in the East would best suit the needs of our nation than working with G4 or the CU.

Windsor Leblanc: The two organizations are have plenty of potential for our future growth but I would not focus on participation too much as they both have arguably overreaching branches that would stomp on policies back home if they are off from the goal of the majority. If anything, closer ties with our neighbors in Gael takes precedent rather than entangling ourselves in the web of shadows that is the CU.

Bertille Bellerose: I would most definitely continue Madame President Richelieu’s current plan of joining both organizations and taking real action within them to provide much needed leadership and direction that would benefit both. The United Estates under my Presidency would additionally focus on forging new relationships in the East and broadening our cooperation to nations we rarely interacted with before.

Luus Fay: I believe that membership in either or both organizations would be invaluable to Dormill and Stiura if we are to return to a position of leadership in the affairs of the Western Isles. That being said, it would be best to start locally with the G4 and prove ourselves as capable international leaders there before we broaden our scope to the CU, whose membership does include questionable governments and leaders.

Justin Abraham: Participation in either organization is going to be costly against us in terms of influence on the international stage. We must be wary of who we start associating ourselves with before we make a huge mistake and start working with those who’d rather see the United Estates become dependent on some other nation.

Cedar Dyson: Both organizations present amazing opportunities for the United Estates to advance in the regional stage and prove to all of our detractors that we have fully recovered from the horrible civil war of only a generation ago. It should be a priority for the next administration to focus on gaining membership in either or both organizations and work closely with our allies in the region already. Ultimately, I am very confident in seeing Dormill and Stiura as a member of the CU and the G4, hopefully we can change it to the G5.

Moderator: And finally, starting with Mr. Dyson, is there a future for Dormill and Stiura in the East?

Cedar Dyson: At the moment, I can see that there is potential for a lot of development with eastern nations, though with the existence of the EUSR, that potential is at risk of being soured. While it’s hard to say if the United Estates should turn its interests to the East, it may become necessary before other powers in the area realize the amount of untapped potential in the area, the San Javier Conflict being only the start of a much greater conflict for dominance in the region.

Justin Abraham: There is a very certain future for the United Estates in the East, and it should start, however, with our border in the north being secured. The former Republic of Avran has been overrun by the dictatorial regime in Noronica that has caused more harm than good not only for the small Republic, but for the bordering region between it and the Estate of New Friesland. Until this issue has been resolved and Noronica has been removed from the mainland of Gael, then we can’t hope to even consider a future in the East.

Luus Fay: I agree with Mr. Abraham, our northern frontier must be secured before we can start talking about the East and our future in it.

Bertille Bellerose: Our concern shouldn’t lie with the activities of the eastern Isles, but the western ones, where conflicts spring up like wildfire, and where we must focus on. The EUSR is a concern, don’t get me wrong, but considering most of our partners in the west agree that it should not exist, then it would be better for the United Estates to stand in solidarity with the west rather than try to face the east alone.

Windsor Leblanc: I’m going to make things short and frank, just like the East is, we shouldn’t go there. It’s pointless, a waste of our time and resources, and will only further result in more environmental catastrophes than we would want. I say we don’t have a future at all if we go East.

Hal Theunissen: I have to adamantly disagree with both the Honorable Ms. Bellerose and Mr. Dyson in that the EUSR may actually be a source of great wealth for our people. With most of the west refusing to associate themselves with the new state, if we could then the people of our nation can reap the benefits of grand trade agreements with the EUSR that nearly no other nation out here will have.

Philippine Lémieux: I don’t really see why we should be concerning ourselves with the East at all. At this point it looks like a lost cause to me with nothing but violence and uncertainty reigning over the entire area. Our efforts shouldn’t be vested in there any more if it is already and instead we should look to the west for future growth.

Moderator: Thank you all for attending tonight’s debate and I hope that you all have a successful race this year. With that, viewers, we would also like to bid you a good night.

Benito Resigns, while Militia makes the first move on Mario Island
September 9th, 2017
SMNN (San Montagnian News Network)
San Montagna



Former Prime Minister Benito Franco has resigned from his position as Prime minister, this is following several Controversial Remarks and Declining Popularity in Parliament. Several Members of Parliament, including Reggio DiFriuli have come out about the Resignation: "This man was unstable and unfit for Parliament, he wants war with Athara Magarat and its allies, along with the Peaceful ethnic Militia. if He Stayed in Parliament any longer it would have been a national Crisis"

Benito Franco spoke out to the press later, saying: "This was the worst parliament I have ever had the Displeasure of working with in my 30 years of Politics, They are too soft to do anything on Mario Island, and are too scared to do anything Risky, they care more about some Ethnic Immigrants from other lands then there own population"

The Resignation has Brought Vice-Prime-Minister Giorgio Cavallo in the Position of Prime Minister, with whom Benito Franco has had many disagreements.


While this was all happening, the Ethnic militia on Mario Island struck, Forcing back the Ill-equipped Reserve troops, the Troops now Lay with their Backs to the Sea, and enemies in Front. Strangely, No reinforcements have been Deployed, and it seems there will not be any. Nor will their be an Evacuation for the Reserves stuck on Mario Island, this has brought Outrage from the Population, who were largely loyal to Benito Franco, A large protest is being organised to be held tomorrow, in support of Benito Franco and protesting The current Government.

Reserve Casualties are estimated at 6 000 dead, 7 000 wounded and 3 000 captured. Only 4 000 are left in good fighting condition.

Chief Minister Makes Position on Atnaia and Merrit Clear After Recent SOAR/MLF Robberies

Verona Beach The Chief Minister has made several statements regarding the recent heists perpetrated by rebel groups operating within Atnaia that were, until recently, restricted to the breakaway province of Merrit. He clarified an opinion made by the Minister of Foreign Exchange that seemed to be disagreed with by most of those within the Regulars' Assembly.

The situation in Merrit can best be summed up as this. According to the Montevideo Accords of 1933, whose standards a potential state is measured against, defines as a state if it meets all three of it's main categories. The first category is a specific territory to control. That role is filled by the Isle of Merrit itself. The second is a population to control. That is met by the Merritians on said Isle. The third is a political authority that retains at least partial control of said territory or population. This third category is controversial at best, and the good diplomats in Atnaia would have us believe that this is not so. While the Atnaian police appear to be letting Merrit slip like sand through their fingers, said sand is not exactly falling into the MLF's hands.

I'd like to take a moment to clarify: We are not endorsing or recognizing Merrit or Merritia as a state. We are waiting for either the MLF to gain full political control of the island and people on it, or for the Atnaian government to remove the uprising altogether. We find that if a group is moving for recognition, the worst path it could take would be to stoop low to the levels of organized criminals.

I would also like to take a moment for the countries who recognized the MLF as a government to reconsider their recognition- it does nothing to move it forwards or backwards in most of the international community. As the Accords of 1933 state, a state does not need international recognition to exist, and international recognition does not simply create a state. All they are doing is worsening their relations with a weakened but still powerful nation in the Southwest Mesder region.

Most in the Regulars' Assembly spoke against his pro-Atnaian stance, but praised him for at least taking the diplomatic route and following the distinct rules of international law to the letter.

Atnaian government officials could not respond for comment.

9 September, JAVANA | Once the last polls closed around 22:35 on the eve of the 8th of September, the nation held it's breath in awe towards the gradually incoming results from the 150 constituencies across the country. With over two-thirds of the seats coming just from the country's sixteen city-based municipalities, they became the central hubs for rallies, gatherings and celebrations in light of the expected results. At the end of the first round of voting, Labour Democrat Pascaline Simon commanded the polls with her unexpected victory against incumbent President Sangwoo's re-election campaign. As dictated by Cantonosian law, the winner (Ms. Simon) and the runner-up (Mr. Sangwoo) qualified for a second round of voting which took place on the 8th of September. In the 10 days between the first and second rounds of voting, grasroots movements, party members and their respective candidates swept the country trying to rouse their favored demographics to swarm the polling booths.

Polytical analyst Patarik Ikeru has shed some light on the nature of these results for us:

The first round proved to be a massive blow to the conservative establishment in Javana, and President Sangwoo's team knew that the last 10 days of the race had to be fully revamped if the polls were to be proven wrong on the 8th. During the final day, Ms. Simon (LabDem) took a more safe approach to campaigning, which is often done by those who lead in the polls as to not tarnish their chances with a some sort of public gaffe. Mr. Sangwoo on the other hand, knowing he had to fight an uphill battle,
doubled down on his public appearances and engagement with the voters. In the ten days leading up to the vote, Mr. Sangwoo toured 12 municipalities and 31 provinces, a record high number compared to Ms. Simon -- who in the inter-election period made conservative appearances in only 4 municipalities and 13 provinces, mostly labour strongholds such as Orebro and Croton City. Another important set was the sudden surge in pro-federalist rhetoric by Mr. Sangwoo, a move which gained him support of the leadership of the third biggest party -- the Federal Liberals. The neutrality of populist left MCJ of the Popular Republican Movement also led for a higher rate of abstention for the left-wing vote, ultimately leading to the defeat of the left-wing candidate Ms. Simon. As expected, the Nationalist Party, Independence Party and Democratic Movement all backed Mr. Sangwoo -- while the Socialists and some voices in the PRM backed Ms. Simon for President. Ultimately, these dynamics culminated in a very close race for president.
Although Mr. Sangwoo and conservatives can sigh a breath of relief at their phyrric victory, everyone's eyes are set on the legislative elections to come, where the odds are even less clear than those for the presidency.

At 3:46AM on the morning of the 9th, the final ballots were counted on the usually busy constituency of Maora in western Kuala and the verdict of the night declared. With a turnout of 88.33%, which amounts to 4,710,493 of 5,332,835 eligible voters in the United Cities, the results were as follows:

Athara Magarat demands apology from San Montagna

Former San Montagna Prime Minister Benito Franco who had threatened to invade Athara Magarat.

NEW LIBANG

The government of the Democratic Republic of Athara Magarat, in a rare show of unified response since the Hang was suspended and the parliament was divided into two factions, has demanded official apology from the next government of San Montagna after the ever controversial former Prime Minister Benito Franco resigned.

On September 3rd, Athara Magarati citizens were alarmed after Franco had shouted in his speech that:

"...And when this is all resolved I say we find the root of this Evil and annihilate it. We will Destroy SHOCK, the Ethnic militia and all its followers, We Should begin in Athara Magarat where SHOCK and its leader is most likely located. But we should go further than that, because Athara Margarat has only about a million people, how is SHOCK even a problem? I'll tell you why, because a large Amount of the Population is radicalized and the Government tolerates it. We should go there, Overthrow the Government and destroy SHOCK..."

The government of Athara Magarat had initially dismissed that as hoax by 'some people with twisted sense of humor'. But on September 4th, Franco decided to ask the parliament of San Montagna to grant him emergency powers and was turned down in September 8th did the government of Athara Magarat came to the bitter realization that a neighboring nation's highest leader had hurled insults at them.

While Franco resigned on September 9th after facing a vote of no confidence in the parliament of San Montagna, the government and people of Athara Magarat are still asking the government of San Montagna to issue an official apology as a 'responsible nation state'.

Meet the Two Parties That Will Decide the Future of Shanowinn

Although just a few days ago (September 7th) Shanowinn's civil war officially ended, the nation must engage in another kind of conflict. This conflict will not be pursued through military and paramilitary action, but through political dialogue.

Currently, Karolíne Catrín Fáolain is acting as the provisional leader of Shanowinn. Fáolain is also the leader of the New Shanowinn Republican Party, the socio-political arm of the New Owinn Front which fought against the Ahern. The NSRP wishes to rebuild Shanowinn as a Republic rather than maintain the Ahernry.

By contrast the Traditional Ahernry Party hopes to preserve the Ahernry. Despite denouncing Chulainn NaAchill, some view their wishes to maintain the Ahernry as controversial and imprudent considering the actions of the previous Ahern. The TAP has fired back that the NSRP will destroy the Owinn identity, something many already struggle with in the wake of the war and Chulainn NaAchill.

According to preliminary polls, most Owinns support the New Shanowinn Republican Party, but the TAP cannot be ignored. Polls suggest that NSRP support may be as high as 55-60%, and TAP support could reach 30-35%, with 5-10% split between other parties or indecision. These same polls indicate the presence of at least two small minority parties, namely the New Shanowinn Worker's Party and the Island Liberation Party. Both are believed to have around 2-3% of the population supporting them, while undecided Owinns may number as high as 6%.

All of the parties, especially the two major ones, will certainly direct their efforts towards the 6% of undecided Owinns, in order to gain as much support as possible. Even though Karolíne Fáolain is the provisional leader of the country, and most support her party, she claimed that she does not intend to exercise much authority or tackle many issues until she has been officially chosen through an election. The emergency election will likely occur on October 1st, 2017.

Michigonia Joins G4

President Torres Lauds G4 Accession at Press Conference

Alland- On Wednesday the two houses of the Chambers voted to Accede to the Mandurah Accord (G4 Agreement), while President Carlos Torres put his signature on the document after the Federal Council voted 7-0 in favour.

This treaty will bring Michigonia into a closer alliance with the four original nations of the G4: Ainslie, Agadar, Ostehaar, and Verdon.

After signing the treaty, President Carlos Torres touted the agreement as a "landmark in the history of our nation," and a "moment of true progress toward goals of regional friendship and security."

Vice President Martin West called the agreement "an intelligent and adaptable framework for regional cooperation moving forward."

Political pushback has been sparse, but came most intensely from from former Federal Council candidate Jose Laso, who lost in last week's first round vote. He has since called for a referendum of secession in Calionte, saying the G4 will violate state sovereignty on a variety of issues.

Trade unions had been tepid on the agreement, but many of the largest unions, including the Michigonian Agriculture Union and the Longshore Worker's Federation, came to support the trade provisions of the Accord, noting the "preferential clause" should minimize downward wage pressure in the medium to long term.

The Federal Council also announced Dr. Olden Prosje as Michigonia's representative to the G4 Council. Dr. Prosje was serving as Senior Trade Commissioner to Ostehaar.

Admiral Farnsworth Makes 'Sabre Rattling' Keynote Speech
The Lanercost Times - 14th September 2017
________________________________

Admiral Farnsworth, in charge of Albion's First Fleet, made a 'sabre rattling' speech at a JAC conference.

The Albionite Admiral, known for his views of interventionism, made a speech described as 'sabre rattling' at an international defence conference.

The annual conference, hosted by Albionite defence contractor JAC, saw many key figures from the Mesder area and across the region come together to discuss the latest trends in defence spending and security issues.

One of the key speakers which got critics excited was Albionite Admiral Benjamin Farnsworth, a known advocate for interventionism by more developed nations and a staunch critic of socialism and communism.

"Albion is a lion. Afterall, it's on our flag. It's in our blood, our national DNA. Now lions, they're king of the jungle and have huge manes to show others that they're something to be reckoned with."

"Now this lion is laying under a tree, in the middle of the region. He's so big. It's so hot. He doesn't wanna move. Now the little lions come, they start messing with him. Biting his ears, biting his tail. He doesn't do anything."

"The lioness, she starts messing with him. Coming over, making trouble. Still nothing."

"Now the other animals, they notice this. They start moving in. The jackals; hyenas. They're barking at him, laughing at him. They nip his toes, and eat the food that's in his domain. They do this, and they get closer and closer, and bolder and bolder, causing trouble for the lion and his family. They wreck havoc, cause chaos and instability. Everyone once feared the lion and that kept order - but the lion lay there. Slept."

"That's where we are. A sleeping lion. Chaos in the world. Instability. No order. Until one day, that lion gets up and chases down the jackals. Puts them to sleep. Eats his share. People are scared of the lion, but the lion brings order. The jackals and hyenas are no longer running amok."

"Why did the lion get up? Cause every once in a while, the lion has to show the jackals, who he is and bring order to the jungle."

Whilst it is not immediately clear as to what, or whom, the Admiral was referring to as 'the jackals', it seems that his words are reflecting a wider shift in public opinion.

Whether this speech will be of any consequence is yet to be seen, however, it could be an indicator of future policies made by the O'Presco administration.

Highland Republic President Okays Controversial Medal Ceremony

One week has passed since President Tadhg Dúney of the Highland Republic and provisional leader Karolíne Fáolain of Shanowinn negotiated the end of the civil war. Owinns have been enthusiastic about repairing the nation, but the latest news from the Highland Republic casts doubt upon the rebuilding process.

Highland sources exposed the Highland Republic's plan to hold a public medal ceremony honoring Highland volunteers who fought for the New Owinn Front (NOF) in the Lowlands. President Dúney banned the Highland Republican Army (HRA) from pursuing Ahernric forces down into the Lowlands, but that didn't stop some former HRA soldiers from joining the NOF as unofficial volunteers.

According to President Tadhg Dúney, the ceremony will still be held this weekend. Controversy surrounds the planned event. Some Lowland Owinn critics have described the planned event as "inflammatory," and "illegal" since those the HRA planned to honor were not officially representing the Highland Republican Army.

In his statement, President Dúney confirmed that the event will still occur, but he also assured that the ceremony's original plans have been altered accommodate Lowland criticisms. "Originally," he said, "the [Highland] Army was going to award the recipients with their respective honors. Now, the Army will host the event, but it is I who will bestow honors, as the premier civil representative of the Highland Republic."

The provisional leader of Shanowinn, Karolíne Catrín Fáolain, has not invested herself in the matter beyond issuing a brief statement. In her statement she thanked President Dúney for changing the plans so that the President, as a civil representative, will reward the volunteers. She further claimed that the alteration has been noted as a gesture of good faith, and hopes that the two of them can work together in the future if she is officially elected the leader of Shanowinn. Thus far Karolíne Fáolain has expressed her fear of becoming involved in state affairs prematurely before seeing the results of the emergency election, which could elect her as leader.

[Great-Imperialonia]

League Catastrophe in Great-Imperialonia


Last monday the Viceroyalty of Great-Imperialonia was affirmed a member of the League of the Western Isles, after much deliberation with other members of the League. Regardless of huge opposition due to the Imperialonian war crimes, committed in the Free Lands of Sadievi, two years ago. To come to consensus, Prime-Minister Montgomery was forced to formally appologise and condemn the war crimes. Later however, Miklania also demanded a full condemnation of the Imperialonian-Sadievi war. This condemnation came at a price, a very expensive price...

Political response

The resolution, which was passed five days ago, demanded 3 points. The first one was the extradition of all war criminals who are involved in the fire bombing of the Sadievi islands and the second one established a war commission to investigate the crimes once more. These two demands were clearly supported by both parliament and the people, as more than 85% of Imperialonians condemn the crimes. The last point however is much more controversial, as it demands a full condemnation for the Imperialonian-Sadievi war. Recents polling showed that a lot of Imperialonians condemn the war interference of Miklania, and thus condemn the war and an even smaller 5% recognised the sovereignty of the Free Lands of Sadievi before the war. By agreeing with the last point, Prime-Minister Montgomery placed himself in a very difficult position both in regard to public opinion and parliamentary support. After the approval from the League and return of Ambassador Lady Fairglass to Great-Imperialonia Montgomery gave a statement in which he praised the ambassador for her work. He only spoke of the condemnation briefly:

...and of course we recognise we had to make concessions. One of these concessions is a condemnation of the Imperialonian-Sadievi war. I will firmly speak here, loud and clear, that I speak on behave of the whole government when I fufill the pledges the Countess of Seacliff made. The Viceroyalty of Great-Imperialonian condemns the [Imperialonian-Sadievi] war as an act of Imperialonian agression. We formally appologise and will do anything in our power to make up for our mistakes...

These remarks lead to an outrage among the opposition. Alice Gunninham, Floor Leader of the National Party, spoke of a 'black day in Imperialonian history' and said the people lost all faith she might have had in the Loyal Unionist government. She also called Prime-Minister Montgomery a huge disgrace for the nation and all proud Imperialonians. In a joint statement the Labour Party, Green Party, Communists and Social-Democrats announced the introduction of a vote of censure to the House to 'show the Prime-Minister this is not the way to govern our prosperous and proud nation'. The National Party and Independence Party even proposed a vote of no-confidence together with independent Delegates Jones and Brown.

Also from the Prime-Ministers own coalition Delegates openly opposed the condemnation, especially the Roman-Latinist Party, who gives Confidence & Supply at the moment. The core of his coalition, the Christian Democrats, Loyalists and Loyal Unionists, remained silent, however much displeasure seemed to appear with the Christian Democrats, who say they 'have been kept in the dark'. The Loyalist Party has not publicly gave a statement other than that they 'will have important conversations with the Loyal Unionist leadership'. The Loyalist Party is known for they fierce stand they took in favour of the war and the immunity they wanted for those suspected. The question remains however, if this will truly evolve and consequences, as sugested by some parties, will indeed follow. Sure thing is that this is a bad week for the Prime-Minister and the rest of His Majesty's Government. The approval rates of Prime-Minister Montgomery decreased from 72% on sunday, to only 51% yesterday.

Besides the national government, the fiefdoms have also expressed themselves relatively negative. The Governor of Agnost, Aiden McMurph, said this was a strange move of the government and he wishes an audience with the Viceroy as soon as possible, to clarify things. Loyal Unionists in the Chamber of Representatives of Lindon stated they were confused by the move and are eager to debate about it, the Governor of Lindon did however not respond yet.

Public opinion

Besides a political crisis the streets did not become safer the last week. Especially in the northeast of Forron, in Willemstadt for example, people started to protest immediatly after the statement. Things quickly got out of hand and military intervention was necessary to prevent an all out war between civilians and police. In Eleston were also huge protests, a lot of veterans from the war now live in Eleston, Forron, and were carried around in the streets to show sympathy for those who fought so hard.

The largest riot however, was in Imperialo. In the northwestern barony of Imperialo people stormed the district hall and interupted a meeting of the district council, which comprises of no less than 70% of Loyal Unionists. They police drove the protesters out, but councillors had to stay inside for more than six hours before the situation was controlled.

Questions asked by IPPS:
1. Was the casus beli of the Imperialonian-Sadievian war justifief?
2. Did you recogise the sovereignty of the Sadievi islands before the war?
3. Did Miklania have the right to interfere in the war when thinks got out of hand?
4. Have there been war crimes committed and must they be condemnd?

There was also a lot of drawback from nobles. Prince Arnor IX of Arthedain released a statement in which he wishes to speak the Viceroy as soon as possible in order to maintain 'peace and dignity' in Arthedain and Great-Imperialonia. Viscount Henry III of Forron asked for more help to contain the situation: 'If the Prime-Minister wishes to make such bold moves it is not in my power to stop him, however I wish to express my sincere dissaproval and ask for at least some compassion with my people here in the northeast. You must face consequences as Prime-Minister and be prepared for the worst'. His words remained vague and unclear, however they lead to huge speculation on what the viscount was thinking.

Viceroy Melas II himself has remained invisible. It is hazy if he supports the act of the government or if he also has doubts or second thoughts. The Viceroy is scheduled to make appearance sunday in Annour.

Reserves evacuated from Mario Island, Benito unveils Militia

San Montagna

Last night, 2 000 reserves and 95 knights from Belle isle en terre evacuated from Mario Island by sea, this means the Ethnic Militia and its SHOCK allies have complete control of the island.

for several days the Reserve fought off the Larger force of 75 000 ethnic militia and Shock soldiers, until last night when they and 95 knights were evacuated to mainland San Montagna, but they left behind 5 000 dead Reserves troops, 5 dead knights, as well as 13 000 wounded soldiers, who are presumed to being prepared for execution. Prime Minister Giorgio Cavallo stated: "We will begin one last round of negotiations with the enemy, and if we do not succeed, we are left with the choice of abandoning Mario Island or retaking it by force"

This has enraged many San Montagnans, who think that action should be taken now, as well as others who think no action should be taken.

When questioned about this, former Pm Benito Franco stated: "This is an embarrassment for San Montagna, think what the international community will think of this, we cant even beat some Militia, and you want to know why we can't? because this Censored government cant do anything risky, or even use the infantry, or airforce. " he said, he then unveiled his own Militia, built to fight the Ethnic Militia, saying: "For those who want to do something, join the Benito Militia, or as I call them the Blackshirts, we already have 2 000 members, and know we call on you, the people of San Montagna, to defend San Montagna when the government cant, and I encourage the Military to join our cause."

when questioned about this, Secretary of defense Luigi Cadorne stated: "normally, we would arrest him and the Militia, but right now, Allies are necessary"

Governor-General Condemns Benito Franco, Suggests Inerventionalism

Today, Governor-General Hendriks held a press conference outside the Vesting van Bestuur today on the Volkegothic stance on the Mario Island Crisis in the nation of San Montagna, where an organization known as SHOCK and its allies are combating the San Montagnan government. The Governor-General publicly stated, "San Montagna currently faces a crisis: one it is not dealing with in a proper way. Today, former Prime Minister Benito Franco of San Montagna unveiled a militant organization he called the 'Benito Militia,' and the San Montagna's current Secretary of Defense Luigi Cadorne named the organization an, 'ally' of the nation." The Governor-General went on saying, "This is a mistake. Issues like this create tyrants and every ingredient is in the pot. Civil strife, civilians taking justice into their own hands, I do not see this going well."

The Governor-General broke many traditions of the Civil Libertarian Party, taking what is widely deemed as an interventionist stance on the situation. He took this stance in his speech, specifically the following quote, "Volkegoth will not stand for this. If the current situation continues, the use of Volkegothic military force will not be taken off the table."

The CRS Pride of the Stallion, the flagship of the Classical Republican Navy and most powerful ship in the nation's fleet (seen right), was deployed to the international waters of the South Mesder Sea for possible combat the first time in three years, along with two destroyers and a cruiser. The Minister of War and Defense and the Minister of Foreign Affairs declined to comment on the situation. We can only speculate on Volkegothic activities in the future and this shift in foreign policy of the Hendriks administration. Stay with the National Report for more updates.

King Condemns, Warns Volkegoth

The King criticised Volkegoth's condemnation of the militias created by Former PM Franco yesterday. "Such condemnations will only further instability in the region, not abet it" declared the King in his speech.

The speech was well received, and generally applauded by a combined gathering of the Peers and Lords.

The King also sent a strongly worded letter to Volkegoth, warning it to withdraw its navy from international waters and to return to home waters. To back this up, the king reinforced the current frigate in San Montagna with a second frigate and the carrier Triomph. If Volkegoth will not stand down, the King warned, more ships will likely be committed.

Prince Armand Injured in Tournemant, Speedy Recovery Hoped

While breaking lances as part of an Ilse wide Tourney, Prince Armand was thrown off his horse by a lance and the nearly trampled by the horse, in the horse's excitement. Prince Armand's first words forgave the knight who bowled him over, though it seems the lance somehow got under the young Prince's armour. The knight in question proceeded to help carry the Prince to the knights automobile, whence they drove to a hospital twenty miles away in less than ten minutes. The wound does not appear to be to serious, and the tourney has been halted until the Prince's recovery.

Prince Armand is increasingly following the path of his namesake, being both an arbiter of repute and a man of martial bearing and talent. This is not the first time he has been wounded in a tournament, but it is the most serious wound inflicted upon him to date.

A notable defection occurred when the Duke of Tolly agreed to support Merritia, deadlocking the proposal of support in the Council of Peers, prompting Comte Mont-Saint-Pierre to support the endeavour in the House of Lords. The issue still has bot been resolved, but it is now tilting in the King's favour, that is, official support of Merritia. The Provincial General and the English still make for strong resistance, but time will tell whether Merritia will receive support.

Sovereign Passes Away at 96

For the past three days Kurylhusi Palace has remained silent, flying the national standard at half mast indicating that a member of the Chief Family has passed away. Today, Palace Representative Husu Awakni announced the tragic news in an emergency international press conference that the Great Sun of Onikarha has passed away, due to natural causes from old age. “Our Great Sun, representative and revered speaker of our people, country, first child of the sun, has passed away this morning.” Awakni stated, assuring that, “Our sovereign did not cross over alone, he was in the company of immediate family and died with benevolent words to the nation.”

A national day of leave have been declared for non-essential work, for a period of mourning.

Jyokno Sarul as he was known before he became ‘Great Sun’ as his ancestors before him, is renown for continuing the reforms of his father’s short lived reign as ruler of the nation, after the end of its lengthy warring period and political dissent. As the Chief of the nation, Great Sun, was not traditionally hereditary, there was a great deal of speculation regarding the legitimacy of his reign. Sarul continued to enforce national reforms to create a patriotic identity in the country with the newer generations, while healing the old.

Slowly, Sarul transferred power from the Chiefdoms and his seat to a more modern government, and squashed foreign backed attempts to inject a westernized socialist administration. Many saw his rule as brutal but necessary, today because of the passed Great Sun’s efforts, the country is prosperous and united, with a central identity.

“His legacy will never be forgotten and we will seek to name him the 16th Sentinel of Onikarha.” Lord Monk Weschana has stated, from Cloud Jade Temple.

High Governor, Qulan Peri, addressed the nation shortly after the announcement, commemorating Great Sun as a, “Man of high moral and social status, who did what he could to unite the nation.”

It is unsure who will become Great Sun now, though many speculate on a few candidates. The High Priesthood says they will announce when the time is right, which is likely after the Burning Ritual(funeral) of the former Great Sun.

Many worry however that this may spark long boiling uprisings, particularly in the more rural and past clinging parts of the countries, communities who claim they were oppressed by the Great Sun, mostly minorities with little factual evidence for their claims that Sarul was somehow a ‘Tyrant’ and a ‘False Sun’. There are some extreme political elements that tout ‘Equalist’ ideology, however officials affirm that their threat is mute.

Despite these threats, Onikarha will prosper and accept the new Great Sun which the High Priesthood will bestow on the nation. Meanwhile, the High Governor has ordered a postponement in upcoming elections until after the funeral.

|Fort Muni, Aldenoe, September 16, 2017|
Good evening citizens, as the ALHN Summit Meeting comes to a close, President Canone begins his campaign for re-election in the region of Aldenoe. His campaign has pledged the furthering and maintenance of national sovereignty and regional rights. Regional rights have long been a political appeal to southern San Jimenez, so far the powerhouse of the CCP, so it is expected that Canone's campaign will be based, but not limited, to the southern regions. Governors Luis Loza of Laurez and John Denu of Dioux have also organized speeches promoting voters to vote conservative in the election. President Canone has already organized dozens of rallies to counter the early campaign of Confederate John Quinn (LPP).

After the arrest of Bishop Michael a few weeks ago, the CCP has had a minor amount of distrust within the party, indicating that Lucas Canone will have to win not only the trust and votes of Jimeneans but the trust and confidence of several members of the CCP. Current Vice-President George Davis has acknowledged his doubt in a CCP victory in the upcoming election and his resignation is expected as the campaign begins. Canone has spoken very little about the matter but has labeled it as a "minor mistake" of the conservative party, however, it is quite the opposite with the CCP losing voters and reliance in the northern regions and parts of Maladium Island.

The First National Debate has already been scheduled for some time next month and it is to be held in Gran Teran in the State House. We will update you on events regarding the election and San Jimenez as they unfold, thank you and have a good evening.

Militia plans mainland invasion, SHOCK claims to have contaminated water with ticking flu
September 16 2017

San Montagna

The Militia on a SHOCK broadcast, declared that a mainland invasion of San Montagna is imminent, they will invade to liberate the native Ethnic groups from European oppression, This is following the evacuation of Mario Isle by San Montagnan Reserves. The Militia declared that all europeans will be killed.

Prime Minister Giorgio Cavallo stated the following after the announcement: "we have declared a state of emergency, as an imminent threat is incoming, The Army will be positioned along the coastline to defend from a naval invasion"

Secretary of defence Luigi Cadorne added: "If we want to go into details, Infantry, Mortar, armored and artillery squads have been placed on the coastline, over 80 000 troops in total, while the air force is on standby, the Navy is also patrolling the seas. Nearly the entire army is on the coast, because our intelligence reports claim that their are upwards of 90 000 militia And SHOCK troops on Mario island. to defend in case of a breakthrough, there are 10 000 soldiers, including Special ops, and the Benito Militia, these are to be placed around the capital, Sabazio"

When Benito Franco Was questioned about his Role in the Defense, he stated: "As of now, my militia has gained around 7 000 soldiers, bringing the total number up to 8 000, now, they may not be the best trained, but they will defend to the death. And frankly, the Army needs all the help it can get, I mean, have you seen the Equipment, We have Fn Mag machine guns from the 50s as well as Madsen Machine guns and old San Montagnian Weapons, the fact that we have Modern jets is astounding, especially considering our only carrier is a Japanese model from the 1930s."

Preparations for the defense were overshadowed when, a few hours later, SHOCK announced that it had contaminated Salvatore bay, a small Freshwater bay not from Sabazio, with the Ticking Flu, The Bay was immediately blocked off and quarantined, as scientists attempt to see if the Bay is in fact Contaminated. One scientist, Giovanni Blu, said: "It is highly unlikely, or even downright impossible that the water is contaminated, but we must make sure"

The closure of the Bay has left Sabazio with Water Shortages, as the Bay was the source of a large part of Sabazio's water, but this is to be fixed, say officials.

Time for the Truth! Nearly 30,000 Athara Magaratis have died of the Ticking Flu!

Image leaked by The Rood of a quarantine center in an unknown rural village in Athara Magarat.

NEW LIBANG

The biggest scandal in recent times for Athara Magarati government (currently in command of the bickering National Assembly and the House of Representatives) caused widespread fury as several politicians and many citizens lambasted the parliament for hiding the information that nearly 30,000 Athara Magarati citizens and some Vancouvian soldiers had died of the Ticking Flu.

"This is madness! We have two factions in the parliament who can't ever come to an understanding. One faction made us withdraw from the League while the other brought Vancouvian soldiers to roam across our sacred lands and kill innocent people in the name of hunting terrorists who might not even be in our borders. And now this...The divided parliament had been withholding the fact that around 30,000 Athara Magaratis and some Vancouvian soldiers had died of the Ticking Flu. To prevent widespread panic, my a$$! This has caused more panic than ever and I a forever disillusioned with my own party." A student leader from the People's Civic Congress told the Herald.

"Where is the Hang when we need him? Bring him back!" chanted an elderly woman along with several pro-Hang protesters who want the suspended Hang to be given back his power. "Our nation went black the moment, the idiots in the parliament decided to suspend him. The Hang would have never lied to his people like this."

But it is unlikely that this new fact will bring the Hang back. However what everyone is sure is that the open border with Atnaia from where the Ticking Flu originated and has over 700,000 Atnaian citizens dead due to the disease. Images of various quarantine centers released in various social media sites by the hacktivist group The Rood caused various international health organizations and local groups to carry out separate investigations and almost every one of them concluded that the Athara Magarati parliament-run government had hidden the information on the exact number of deaths from the disease in order to 'stop widespread panic'. Meanwhile it is generally agreed that the number of casualties related to Ticking Flu escalated because SHOCK had claimed in their recent videos of spreading the disease to Athara Magarat, San Montagna, Vancouvia and other nations to 'purge those deemed unworthy by the Yellow Dragon'.

But still despite the revelation, almost 43% Athara Magarati citizens said that they were not surprised the government had taken such initiative. They believe what the government did was for the 'greater good of the society and nation'. It seems other nationals will be more angry at the Athara Magarati government as certain nations have already started closing their borders to Athara Magarat.

An official requesting anonymity said. "The damage has already been done. People are talking of closing borders with Atnaia. We had 30,000 people die already and closing borders with Atnaia won't stop the disease. We have set up several quarantine centers all over the nation. The government has decided to have all Tickers registered or face severe penalties. The whole nation will be subject to curfew and quarantine. The greatest mistake we did was not implementing this sooner. And both factions of the parliament now regret hiding the information from the public. SHOCK and maybe even local SOAR cells have been trying to spread the Ticking Flu and destroying our research on the cure for the disease makes the fact worse. Even our soldiers and Vancouvian troops here to help us have been affected. Hence we still request the international community and our allies in combating the terrorist elements trying to play God on human lives."
