Alliance For Independent Tomorrow (AIT) Wins Majority In Independent General Election In New Vesvai

The Alliance for Independent Tomorrow (AIT) opposition coalition has claimed victory in New Vesvai’s independent general election after a long campaign. AIT will now hold a majority in New Vesvai’s parliament which New Vesvai has renamed to the Assembly of New Vesvai to differentiate itself from the central VHU-led government. AIT coalition has won 44% of the vote with Democratic Progressives in second place at 23%. The controversial Pro-Independence Coalition which advocates for New Vesvai to declare independence from Vesvai, has garnered 10%. The United Conservatives and the Nationalist Bloc are in a tie, each with 5%. The vocal and highly outspoken far-left People’s Power Party has gathered 3%. The remaining parties in the election collectively had gathered 10%, but neither alone has gathered enough to win any seats in the Assembly of New Vesvai. The general election was worst for Vesvai’s government party the Vesvaian Homeland Union (VHU) with its’ performance being null with exactly 0%. Organizers say it was a surprise that VHU was allowed to run at all in a rebel and predominantly anti-government entity that is New Vesvai. Before the campaigning started in New Vesvai’s general election there were a lot of protests held to ban VHU from running in New Vesvai’s election but the caretaker government decided to allow it for democratic purposes.

The victory of AIT was widely celebrated in New Vesvai and other parts of the island including the VHU-administered parts. Pro-AIT celebratory demonstrations were unavailable on the streets of Vesvai’s major cities because of the strict anti-protest law. But in New Vesvai the situation was completely different. Masses rejoiced on the streets and at home while the sky was being painted in fireworks. Joyful reactions also came from Vesvaian diaspora living in various countries in Corentia. In Vesvai vocal anti-government activists and members of various underground movements said that the election in New Vesvai was a celebration for the entire island nation. According to them that is because AIT was supposed to win Vesvai’s general election but VHU had rigged votes in its’ favor. Many former political prisoners recently released by the order of the VHU-led government, had congratulated New Vesvai with a truly democratic election. Other parties in opposition to the current government and VHU’s authoritarian monopoly have expressed congratulatory wishes too. Average citizens are sharing plans to move to New Vesvai before a DMZ is built between two halves of the island.

AIT will now have to be forming a new concurrent government in New Vesvai. Candidates for the post of Prime Minister are multiple. The “leaders” or the more prominent politicians of the parties that form the AIT coalition are not candidates for the post of concurrent PM. That is because they have not moved to New Vesvai and continue their opposition politician activities in the rest of Vesvai as adversaries of the ruling VHU. Along with the concurrent PM of New Vesvai, the MPs will also have to appoint the Head Administrator. This is a position created in New Vesvai as a replacement for the Governor-General office. The leadership of New Vesvai says that the position of the Head Administrator, unlike that of Governor-General, is not linked to the Rhodeve Crown which is why it will be a permanent substitute. The candidates for the position of the Head Administrator of New Vesvai are also many just like for the Prime Minister.

The VHU-led government in Aurisi has rejected the election as illegal and unconstitutional. Vesvai’s central government has refused to recognize its’ results and claims that the ruling VHU party remains the only legitimate central government of all of Vesvai as was decided in the last nationwide general election and later reiterated by the Supreme Court. PM Jonathan Mollisal was more quiet this time around and allowed other members of his party to critique the election in New Vesvai. The Prime Minister is hinting that he wants to avoid messing up a warm-up reached with the Western Corentians. PM Mollisal was apparently seriously scolded by his fellow party members behind closed doors.

PRESIDENT LIAVON JAKAVIENKA SAYS APHISEPTEN MIGHT SEEK TO JOIN OPHIONEUS LIKE AZOVSKAYA AND KONETYA

---

Aphisepten Republic government of President Liavon Jakavienka has declared that Aphisepten might attempt to join Ophioneus in the future with confident public support.

President Liavon Jakavienka said that “[T]he Sun rises in the East”, when he talked about the future of the Republic. The President and his government have been praising Ophioneus and said that the Republic might seek to join Ophioneus in the future like Azovskaya and Konetya have done successfully.

“Ophioneus is a rising bastion empire that will defend our common civilization from western imperialism, foreign values and a way of life that the outsiders are trying to propagate in our part of the world. With Azovskaya and Konetya having already joined Ophioneus, this union has the potential of becoming the ultimate union for Slavic brothers and sisters. We must move forward with this before the hostile forces try to divide us like what had happened in Baggnagia. We might hate globalization here in Aphisepten, but that is something that we cannot stop in foreseeable future. So if we are put forth before a choice of whom to unite with, it’s with Ophioneus. The people of Aphisepten see the people of Ophioneus as our brothers, so it’s a natural choice. If we go through with joining Ophioneus, I can bet you that the public, the military and the courts will be 150% behind our government. The question is clear on our part, but it will also be up to Ophioneus on whether they will have us.”

The statements of President Liavon Jakavienka were mainly protested by political parties and social movements that are associated with radical far-right Aphiseptenite nationalism. These forces are often prosecuted by Aphisepten Republic justice system for inciting ethnic hatred. Their most recent street marches and demonstrations were dispersed by police and the participants were arrested.

South Baggnagia adopts VU flag for formal use

JUGAC, SOUTH BAGGNAGIA – The flag of the Ventismarian Union has now become a companion symbol to the national flag of South Baggnagia. The VU flag now flies alongside the South Baggnagian flag on government buildings, municipalities, flag poles and on random display. The flag of VU is now also used by the Ministries and the Presidency. This incorporation of VU symbols in South Baggnagia happens on the occasion of the South Baggnagian Aspirant Treaty (SBAT) being voted on at the VU Parliament. If passed the document will recognize South Baggnagian VU aspirations and the nation will then have access to assistance in its path of reforms and to future accession to the Ventismarian Union. Minister of Foreign Affairs and Ventismarian Integration Slavko Kastélic said that even if the treaty will be slow to pass at the VU Parliament the adoption of VU symbols by South Baggnagia makes sense as a show of civilizational choice, history, heritage, culture and aspired future.

[Orilya]

Strengthening Ventismarian Ties

It has been almost two weeks since Executive Chancellor David George of Capsland left Orilya and finally after much deliberation, Prime Minister Edelera revealed in parliament the outcome of this visit and the government's intentions going forward. During his visit Executive Chancellor (EC) George visited historical sites from the Fifth Civil War and learnt about modern Orilyan history, EC George and Prime Minister Edelera also attended a Sunset War commemoration, commemorating the war between Capsland and Orilya in the 1700’s. Executive Chancellor George also met with Chief of the Defence Board General Ezheva and discussed Capslandian and Orilyan military co-operation and the upcoming CENNEX competition which Capsland is participating in. An odd meeting was when EC George met the Conformist Party leader Stephanos Peris, later the party leader told us that the Executive Chancellor gave him much advise on politics in general and potential stances on issues. But by far the most significant meeting was between EC George and the Prime Minister herself. They spent a large amount of his 5-day visit together and it cannot be understated the significance of the outcome of this meeting in PM Edelera’s initiative to bring Orilya onto the international stage. EC George had this to say about Prime Minister Edelera in an interview back in Capsland “I find myself very impressed by Prime Minister Edelera and she is an inspiration to all female politicians, I would say my visit to Orilya was a success and I hope to see good results soon.”. After this interview made its way into Orilyan news PM Edelera had this to say “I also found Executive Chancellor George impressive, and I too would say our meeting was a success hopefully parliament shall share my enthusiasm for the future of Orilya.”

Prime Minister Edelera in the Senate

In parliament earlier on today PM Edelera revealed her plan for a formal treaty with Capsland which coincides with a publication from the Defence Board earlier in the week. The treaty will consist of Capslandian and Orilyan military co-operation with both nations sharing access to certain warfare schools in each other’s countries, an expansion of diplomatic ties between the nations with an expansion of the embassy programs with both nations set to open more consulates. Orilyan ambassador to Capsland Samantha Graves had this to say after hearing of the expansion plan “This will be the biggest expansion of diplomatic services the foreign office has seen anywhere outside of the Centismar region ever.”, the expansion is set to coincide with the introduction of a 30-day free tourist VISA agreement between the nations which will surely provide a significant boost to the already growing Orilyan tourist industry. Capsland is also set to open a cultural centre in the city of New Haven which is mostly inhabited by English speaking Grehayans, many of whom are descended from Capslandian immigrants. But by far the biggest addition to the treaty is the joint research between Orilya and Capsland which will have a primary focus on internet, with Capslands IT expertise and Orilya’s OPI focus on expanding Internet access and fibre-optics should prove very productive. The research will look at what will potentially follow fibre-optics, the future 5G mobile data and server productivity. This overlaps with news from Capsland that the Capslandian Ministry of Defence has contracted the Orilyan arms manufacturer Wolfpack Industries to renovate and upgrade there H22 towed artillery pieces and an order for the purchase of 100 Hammerhead self-propelled Artillery (220 HMH’s) from Svarta Arms. Commentators note how the deal over military co-operation has already been confirmed by the Defence Board and the Capslandian government, and that the inclusion of military clauses within this treaty is a bold move from the Prime Minister and could lead to tensions with the Defence Board.

Layna Rorch giving a press conference

The Prime Minister went on to discuss her ambition for a deal with the Ventismarian Union, she had this to say in her address to Parliament “As everyone in this chamber knows it is my ambition to better integrate Orilya into the rest of Sunalaya, it is important that to do this we must seek to establish stronger ties with other nations. It makes the most sense to me that we start with our Ventismarian neighbours, the VU represents six nations which combined have the largest economic area in the world, so to me and the cabinet it seems clear that the perfect place to start is there.” at this point in the PM’s speech the Senate started to get a bit unruly and loud. “It is therefore the Primary goal of this government to secure a trade deal with the Ventismarian Union!” she said having to shout to get over the voices of protest, the rest of what the Prime Minister said is very difficult to comprehend behind the shouts and protest of the Socialist and Syndicalist Senators, the Speaker of the Senate effectively lost control of the chamber. Prime Minister Edelera’s proposed trade deal with the VU contained these proposals: a bilateral trade deal between Orilya and the VU with specifications to be ironed out during the negations. She also proposed that Orilyan Universities to join the VU student exchange program where the VU can benefit from Orilya’s excellent engineering Universities and Orilya can benefit from the various educational institutions of the VU countries. Also free 90-day vacation VISA’s, free yearlong work VISA’s and free unlimited Student VISA’s between Orilya and the nations of the VU. A request that Orilyan shipping to be exempt from the straits tax, and the free movement of money from VU countries and Orilya. To support this Orilya will lower its taxes of FDI and Corporation taxes for VU companies operating in Orilya, as well as unilateral deregulation loosening the restrictions the government places on corporations both domestic and foreign. Aside from the barrage that the Prime Minister faced inside the Senate today she will face significant resistance from many within Parliament most notably the Socialist party, Socialist Senate leader Layna Rorch had this to say “this proposal for a trade agreement with the VU is a dangerous step by the Prime Minister she is threatening the unity of the nation, I will fight this with everything I can muster and will start by potentially stopping this before it even begins.”.

David George Vetoes "French Languages Act" in Goldwyn

---

David George announced the decision to veto during a
parliamentary session on Monday

The "French Languages Act" has officially been vetoed by EC David George on the grounds of "unnecessary Goldwynian nationalism and elitism".

The French Language Act was one of the first major bills to be proposed to the new Goldwynian Parliament after the Goldwynian snap election earlier this year. The bill would have seen French become the official language of Goldwyn, mandating it be compulsorily taught in every Goldwynian school, possibly pushing English aside. It would have also mandated that official government documents be published in French; currently government documents are only officially published in English. While there were many criticisms of the bill, it had substantial support in the Goldwynian Parliament with the SDP and Liberation Party both promising to vote for it, while the Popular Front and Democracy Party were vehemently against the measures.

David George was quoted in the National Parliament describing the bill as "provocative" and "needlessly sectarian in nature" this view was echoed by many in the government including the Popular Front, which had in the past voiced their support for Goldwyn to choose its own official language. The SDP, however, seemed a lot more divided with Social Democrat MPs in the National Parliament voicing their concerns over the "unusually aggressive bill" in contrast to Goldwynian Social Democrat MPs that had given their support to the bill.

The leader of the Liberation Party and Prime Minister of Goldwyn, Julien Piccard, said that this was a clear flagrance of power from Burton and hoped to publish a new bill concerning the official language of Goldwyn.

The main point of contention seemed to be the implication that French would have to be a higher priority than English in Goldwynian schools. Currently, English is a mandatory subject in the Goldwynian curriculum, which must get approval from the Curriculum Committee based in Burton. If French were to become the official language of Goldwyn, it is expected that Goldwyn would have just cause to make it a higher priority in schools, something the traditional central government parties have been against in the past.

Protests in Daredland after the Germanic Union allowed to participate in the next elections

Emblem of the Germanic Union

The Daredi government has caused an uproar across the Confederacy with a recent controversial decision. The Germanic Union has been permitted to participate in the next Daredi elections which will include government elections to the State Council, elections in the autonomous regions making up the Confederacy, district and municipal elections along with many more important votes. The Germanic Union now has full access to the political processes in the Daredi Confederacy along with other parties and has the possibility of getting into power and forming a government upon winning votes. The permission for the Germanic Union to participate in elections alongside other parties has caused a swift turbulent reaction. A wave of protests have broken out in various cities in Daredland and are still ongoing. The demonstrations are against the Germanic Union and against the Daredi government which has allowed for the Germanic Union to fully join Daredi politics.

Rally by the supporters of the Germanic Union in Freihat, Daredland.

The Germanic Union is a political coalition formed out of three parties that identify as pan-Germanic, promote the ideals of a Germanic identity for Daredland and call for an alliance between Germanic nations of the world in a Commonwealth or Union form. The coalition includes the Black Eagle Party (BEP), the Weniges Representation Front (WRF) and the Legion of Germanic Daredland (LGD) which is the party of the current President of the State Council of Daredland Friedrich Schäfer. The controversy behind all three parties is that they are accused of being purely pro-Englean and seek domination or direct annexation of Daredland by the Kaiserreich. They are also accused of upholding ethnic supremacist views in a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural nation that is Daredland. The Weniges Representation Front is coming under fire exceptionally because it is viewed as a political wing of terrorist militias that have taken over eastern Daredi territories and formed the Weniges Reich. Permission for the Weniges Representation Front to run in the election, alone or in a coalition, is regarded by protesting citizens as a recognition of a terrorist group’s legitimacy and allowing for a terrorist group to legitimately
infiltrate the government. Protesters are accusing the current Daredi government of national
betrayal along with the Black Eagle Party and the Legion of Germanic Daredland who have dared
to form a coalition with a party created by terrorist militants.

Police have been dispatched in unusual large numbers in the major cities of the Daredi Confederacy where these troubles are most active. The increase of police has been the initiative of local regional and municipal governments but the central government of the Daredi Confederacy has also requested that the regions synchronize their actions and take special security measures. The authorities mostly fear clashes between rival demonstrations around Daredland. There are also rallies conducted by the supporters of the Germanic Union which is why police fear a confrontation on the street with the protesters against the Germanic Union. Being the capital Freihat is the center-stage for these tensions. Freihat is seeing the biggest police mobilization.

Protest marches against the Germanic Union in Freihat, Daredland.

President of the State Council of Daredland Friedrich Schäfer says that the participation of the Weniges Representation Front in future Daredi elections is a victory for democracy. He had expressed his anticipation to run alongside them within the Germanic Union coalition and thanked the rest of the Daredi government for making a reasonable decision. Schäfer says that the creation of the Weniges Representation Front and their participation in Daredi politics is the achievement of his personal diplomatic endeavors that he had insisted on. Chancellor Calvin Aigner has kept a neutral stance by saying that the Germanic Union should be allowed to participate in Daredi politics and run in the elections, but was unsure about the Weniges Representation Front. The Social Liberal Party (SLP) has suggested that the Germanic Union should be allowed to fully partake in all political processes of the Daredi Confederacy but that the Weniges Representation Front should be removed from the coalition. In the meantime members of the Western Corentian Nationalists of Daredland (WCND) party were seen participating in protest marches against the Germanic Union on the streets of Freihat.

Government places laws on women: Including banning them from driving

Trahns-Tawi Highway in central Tuzhz

Today the government enacted multiple new laws concerning women's role in The Islamic Republic. The laws caused concern among some centrists in the Dirkhiz Parliament. The laws put many restrictions on women such as banning women from driving, taken away a women's ability to divorce, and banned all abortion unless it threaten's a woman's life, women are banned from voting in all elections except local ones, and women can not run for all types of government positions except for local positions. They also enacted a law banning women from leaving the nation without a man. These are just some the laws that the government has passed. The government says that the laws will help Dirkhizistan get it's culture and religious identity back, as Dirkhizistan is nearly 80% muslim. He also hopes it helps women tend to household work more while men do work outside of the home. Nazarxon believes this will also cause less road problems such as traffic in major cities such as Kheshkek, Muhammakek, and Tuzhz. Nazarxon also put a media ban from some more western nations today, including Orilya, Vesvai, and Nokglatia, in order to keep western propaganda from seeping into our country. The exiled former President of Dirkhizistan, Ruslan Mugharz, has come out today to attack our nation's beliefs saying that we are going to destroy Dirkhizistan with "oppression". Nazarxon responded saying "Your oppression is why you're exiled, we are freer than ever before".

"Engleberg needs to sort their own security out" / Social Welfare funds not agreed

Christina Anderson hit back at Engleberg for their accusations that an attack on a barracks was the work of the Commiss Army. She said the following to the Unitary Parliament after a prompt question. "Well its weird that the Engleans are so strong and full of pride, yet they can't even manage their own countries internal security. That they have to blame somebody and in this case it was us that got blamed. I'm expecting an apology from the Engleans for this evidence-less accusation. It is hilarious that they think it is for us to propel into a war-economy and the comments are probably made in jest."

The issue was put on the back seat as funds were not agreed by the seven leaders. Social welfare cuts were almost unanimously rejected by the Communists, UNP and Soldurs Des. They were called out for being radical and would create an uneven playing field in the Seven United. Anderson was disappointed with the results as she tweeted when the meeting had concluded. "I'm disappointed in the leaders for their rejections of the compromises we had laid out. Regardless, we will work to sort this out."

The negotiations were at times heated with the Communists particularly frustrated over social welfare cuts. Communist Commissioner for the Bailor Samúal Montagos said to Anderson just before the session concluded "You are cutting welfare in whole amounts. There is no guidelines on what we should do with what is the money you have left us. Before today, all social welfare funds were generally equal in proportion to each states population and situation. Now the playing field is uneven as some states receive bigger austerity measures compared to others. Not only this but these cuts will affect workers much more heavily as they may see their benefits threshold lowered or see their payments cut. Its either that or we put huge amounts of civil servants out of jobs, which would make things much more worse." Christina Anderson briefly replied to the statement by the Communist delegate then concluded the session to be continued tomorrow. "Well I understand what you are saying, but I don't think it is true. Rather than making things out of line we are putting things into line. We looked into each states poverty situations and welfare usage data and concluded with the budgets we just gave you which is fitting. It will make things more fair and unison. It is also your choice on what you do with the money once the budget is agreed. That is it for today we'll continue things tomorrow."

Education (Excluding regional universities, regional special-needs schools)
The Bailor: 1.5% Not Agreed
The Trident: 1.7% Agreed
Montedoran: 1.9% Not Agreed
Cyprexe: 0.5% Agreed
Chalendon: 0.9% Agreed
Aragon: 0.5% Agreed
Caledonia: 0.6% Agreed
Total Spending after: 134bn (Argents) 6.8% of GDP

Social Welfare
The Bailor: 1.2% Not Agreed
The Trident: 1.0% Not Agreed
Montedoran: 1.3% Not Agreed
Cyprexe: 0.1% Agreed
Chalendon: 1% Not Agreed
Aragon: 0.8% Agreed
Caledonia: 0.8% Agreed
Total Spending after: 397bn (Argents) 20.1% of GDP

So what will happen if the budget talks in Aygon are not agreed? Well then there is a period of a month when the funds will remain the same as the previous year, if an agreement is not made in that timespan then The Unitary and Regional Commissions will shut down. As stated in the Constitution of the Seven United, if the yearly budget is not agreed then all workings of the two commissions must cease until is one is agreed. This event only happened once in The Seven United history and was in 1997 when all seven regional Commissioners employed various tactics including filibuster to stop the employment of budget cuts within The Union. Disagreements are common but entire shut-downs have proven rare in Seven United history.

Sunrisian Minister of International Relations Ectrăr Álienan Visits North-West Zilveren Berg

Sunrisian Minister of International Relations Ectrăr Álienan is currently on a visit to northwestern Zilveren Berg, the Area of Responsibility of Sunrisia remaining from the military operation by the 3-nation coalition against the now-deposed Zilveren dictatorship. The Minister is scheduled to meet with the Presidium and members of the Council of Zilveren Berg, ACREFOR peacekeepers keeping stability and assisting in the rebuilding of northwestern Zilveren Berg, Sunrisian regular army soldiers defending northwestern Zilveren Berg, and the local population. The primary topic on agenda for Minister Álienan is the planned Zilveren transition. Before departing, the Minister of International Relations said the following to the press during a briefing in the Presidential Palace in Orentan:

“I will be going to northwestern Zilveren Berg to finally realize the joint plan of the administration of the Sunrisian President and the Council of Zilveren Berg for Northwestern Zilveren Transition (NZT). The NZT was crafted following the conclusion of the military operations against the totalitarian regime of Supreme Leader Rhul Gorm in Zilveren Berg. The NZT was approved by the Convet of the Sunrisian Second Republic and the Council of Zilveren Berg. This military occupation and partial external management cannot continue forever, since it was only a provisional measure after the conflict had ended. Although these territories are governed by the Council of Zilveren Berg, which gives a de facto appearance of statehood, in reality it is not statehood. This kind of in-between is not normal existence or a normal life. It is time for that land to transform from a zone of temporary military occupation to a de jure state, so that the people living there could properly build their future and interact with the world upon their choice.”

Minister Ectrăr Álienan is expected to attend the Zilveren Basic Law Convention, where the Parliamentary Legislative Assembly will complete the draft for an equivalent of a constitution for the northwestern Zilveren territories. The draft would be formally voted on and adopted by the Parliamentary Legislative Assembly in a separate session after the Convention.

Parliamentary Legislative Assembly Adopts Basic Law For The State Of West Zilveren Berg, West Zilveren Berg Proclaims Statehood

Sunrisian Minister of International Relations Ectrăr Álienan has become personal witness to a historical event. At the Zilveren Basic Law Convention, the Parliamentary Legislative Assembly of Zilveren Berg, which had been gathered from all across the northwestern Zilveren territories by the Council of Zilveren Berg, has concluded the process of drafting the Basic Law for the State of West Zilveren Berg, a constitutional equivalent for northwestern Zilveren territories. After the Zilveren Basic Law Convention had concluded, the drafted Basic Law went to a separate session of the Parliamentary Legislative Assembly, where the drafted Basic Law would then be voted on. With a unanimous vote, the Parliamentary Legislative Assembly of Zilveren Berg has officially approved the adoption of the Basic Law for the State of West Zilveren Berg. With this vote, the Basic Law for the State of West Zilveren Berg has hereby officially de jure and de facto replaced the old Constitution of Zilveren Berg under Supreme Leader Rhul Gorm. The jurisdiction of the old Constitution of Zilveren Berg has been renounced over northwestern Zilveren territories and the Basic Law for the State of West Zilveren Berg is now in force in northwestern Zilveren Berg. With the adoption of the Basic Law for the State of West Zilveren Berg, the Parliamentary Legislative Assembly of Zilveren Berg has formally proclaimed statehood of the northwestern Zilveren territories and had officially declared the formation a sovereign state on these lands – the State of West Zilveren Berg. The verbal declaration of West Zilveren statehood and sovereignty came after all voting processes at the session were completely. The declaration was made by the Chairman of the Parliamentary Legislative Assembly of Zilveren Berg, who said that the governing body he is presiding at, would now be renamed the Parliamentary Legislative Assembly of West Zilveren Berg. The Chairman proceeded with an emotional and motivating speech in an address to the people of West Zilveren Berg from behind a tribune.

A lot of applause had been heard today. The conclusion of the drafting process of the Basic Law for the State of West Zilveren Berg was met with a standing ovation. The passing vote, the adoption of the Basic Law for the State of West Zilveren Berg, and follow-up proclamation of the State of West Zilveren Berg and the declaration of West Zilveren sovereignty, were met with an even louder ovation not just at the Parliamentary Legislative Assembly session, but also on the streets of what is now the State of West Zilveren Berg. The crowds watched a live broadcast of both the Zilveren Basic Law Convention and the decisive Parliamentary Legislative Assembly voting session. Both events could have been observed publicly via large screens recently installed in the cities during the rebuilding process. The streets of Zilveren Berg are now a place of ongoing celebrations. In the meantime, the Chairman of the Parliamentary Legislative Assembly of West Zilveren Berg came outside not just for fresh air, but also to give a public address of what the Basic Law for the State of West Zilveren Berg is and why did the Assembly did not draft and vote on a straightforward Consitutituion?:

“The original intention of the Council of Zilveren Berg was to gather a Constituent Assembly from all across what is now our new State of West Zilveren Berg, and have that Constituent Assembly draft a Constitution of the State of West Zilveren Berg, which would then have been adopted. But the Council feared it might mean a permanent end to a historical possibility of ever peacefully reunifying the 3 divided Zilveren territories. In addition, the Council did not want to impose the West Zilveren state as the “definitive Zilveren Berg” and later, in case the 3 Zilveren states will one day make an attempt at a peaceful Zilveren reunification, have the hypothetical West Zilveren Constitution clash with the East Zilveren Constitution or the South Zilveren one, if/when those territories proclaim statehood. Which is why the Council had decided to opt for something different. A West Zilveren Constitution might have contributed to a permanent disruption of Zilveren unity, which is why the Basic Law for the State of West Zilveren Berg is a provisional measure that was chosen and yet will still fulfil constitutional functions for our new state. It is the “Basic Law” for how we live and govern our own state.”

The citizens of the newly-formed West Zilveren Berg are later set to observe a ceremony, where the Council of Zilveren Berg will transfer power to the Parliamentary Legislative Assembly of West Zilveren Berg as the new provisional governing body.

Minister of International Relations Ectrăr Álienan was a participant at the Zilveren Basic Law Convention and the follow-up decisive Parliamentary Legislative Assembly session, where all main votes and declarations had been made. Minister Álienan had admitted that he had become caught up in the emotion of the entire historical event and was proud to be a witness of it.

Chairman Of Parliamentary Legislative Assembly Shou Vedder Declares West Zilveren Berg A ‘Non-Bloc State’

In the day following the proclamation of West Zilveren statehood, Chairman of the Parliamentary Legislative Assembly of West Zilveren Berg Shou Vedder and Minister of International Relations of Sunrisia Ectrăr Álienan held a bilateral meeting today in front of the cameras. The national flags of West Zilveren Berg and Sunrisia were posted behind them, placed right next to each other. The firm and warm handshake between the Chairman and the Minister was captured by many camera lenses and the visual moment was decorated by many bright camera flashes. In the aftermath of their one-on-one, Chairman Shou Vedder and Minister Ectrăr Álienan held a joint press conference, where they had answered a lot of questions. Many journalists were interested in the foreign policy of now-independent State of West Zilveren Berg in the climate of regional uneasiness and the Chairman was firm to explain everything straight:

“The Basic Law for the State of West Zilveren Berg says that the State of West Zilveren Berg is officially “a non-bloc state.” This is a confirmation to those, who might have been concerned that Western Zilveren statehood would equal an MDAA expansion to the east, near the direct borders of such countries like the Englean Kaiserreich. In accordance with the Basic Law, West Zilveren Berg will not be joining any military bloc, neither MDAA nor any other, if our security is guaranteed.

Moreover, the non-bloc status we have chosen means that the armed forces of West Zilveren Berg, which our Sunrisian allies are helping us build, arm and train, will be designated solely for the defense of our sovereign borders. The Basic Law will not allow for an overseas deployment, another clause that we made sure to include during the Convention. The Parliamentary Legislative Assembly of West Zilveren Berg is already working on a resolution that will later be put up for a vote, which will officially name our upcoming national military – the West Zilveren Self-Defense Forces (WZSDF).

Finally, Minister Ectrăr Álienan and I have discussed the withdrawal of all Sunrisian forces still stationed in West Zilveren Berg, which were originally deployed during the war for combat and afterwards, for peacekeeping, stabilization, nuclear radiation containment, rebuilding purposes and security guarantees. The Sunrisian side is interested in this withdrawal as well, because they do not want to permanently remain here as an occupational or a residual force. Our 2 countries are interested to move on beyond the military conflict and into the future.

Nevertheless, even though Sunrisia intends to leave West Zilveren Berg, we do intend to sign a bilateral security agreement that will allow for Sunrisian forces to urgently deploy to West Zilveren Berg in case of an attack or invasion of our country. That is a measure of insurance for West Zilveren Berg, rather than a preparation for another fight. We are interested in having a mechanism of deterrence and an umbrella, just in case.

These are the peace-supporting measures and initiatives that West Zilveren Berg is prepared to take on our own behalf, but in case all of this is disregarded and an outside aggressor decides to use force or blackmail against us without provocation, we can overturn our military doctrine and parts of our Basic Law very fast.

In terms of our relations with northern neighbor Englean Kaiserreich, we want to build a trustworthy and cooperative relationship, but we need to defuse the tension that exists at the moment. And this tension will very likely exist until the increased Sunrisian military presence in West Zilveren Berg remains, something that will be a status quo for some time still. We are ready to offer the establishment of a DMZ and joint security areas along our common border for direct diplomatic exchanges between troops and politicians, for the period of rival military posturing on both sides of the border. But we would like to eventually move on beyond a militarized relationship. Whereas we extend an olive branch to the Englean Kaiserreich, we are confident in a family-like relationship with the Unions of East Zilverenberg and the southern Zilveren territories administered by South Zilveren High Council (SZHC). We are one nation, but different states for the time being. I am looking forward to personally meet with my brothers in the leadership of the East and the South.

As for the path we are going to take, we want to live in peace with our neighbors, which are very diverse from each other and follow different ideologies. In terms of military alignment, we will be a non-bloc state, but when it comes to our political path, our values of freedom and democracy align more with the countries of Western Corentia. Sunrisia is helping us relaunch our economy and as soon as that is done and our recovery draws closer to a normal state, we will be ready to move into the world of prosperity. Let the past difficult period in Zilveren history bring about a positive legacy.”

Following the press conference, Sunrisian Minister of International Relations Ectrăr Álienan had spent some time conversing with members of the Parliamentary Legislative Assembly of West Zilveren Berg, the Council of Zilveren Berg who had just passed on leadership to the Assembly, and had some separate conversations with the active participants of the civil society keeping up presence on the streets and interest in the future. The Sunrisian Minister later gave an exclusive solo interview to different television stations and newspapers of West Zilveren Berg, still left over from dictatorship times, but now developing into free media. In the aftermath of this busy schedule, Minister Álienan did as he intended and went to the Sunrisian soldiers working on different tasks in different areas. Many of the troops are planned to go back home, as their rotational deployment tour is coming to a close and new soldiers will come in to take over for them.

Executive Of The Agency For Special Contacts Policy (ASCP) Travels To The Englean Kaiserreich

The Sunrisian Department of International Relations has confirmed that Anît Iûnctén, the Executive of the Agency for Special Contacts Policy (ASCP), which is a division of the Department of International Relations, has traveled to the Englean Kaiserreich to meet with the country’s Reichsminister für Korentien Alfred von Pinochet. The Agency for Special Contacts Policy (ASCP) is responsible for Sunrisian exchanges with countries that Sunrisia has no diplomatic relations with, which is why the Englean Kaiserreich falls under its jurisdiction. The continuing Sunrisian–Englean rivalry and rivalry between Western and Eastern Corentia has been pushing the continent from a geopolitical confrontation towards potential big war. Despite a number of tension zones and factors, the most recent proclamation of the statehood of Sunrisian-backed West Zilveren Berg on the border of the Englean Kaiserreich, was believed to be something that would increase the heat to a new level. Now, steps are apparently being taken drop the rising bar.

In the absence of Sunrisian Minister of International Relations Ectrăr Álienan, who is currently still on his visit to West Zilveren Berg amid the new sovereign state’s birth, Spokesperson for the Department of International Relations Elén Spêctrá-Fâmína had explained in more detail what might happen with this first contact:

“The current goal is to see if we can lay off some steam and avoid a destructive explosion, to put it figuratively. Sunrisia remains fully committed to the defense of all our MDAA allies and we continue supporting the territorial integrity of Daredland along with the right of West Zilveren Berg to exist as a new democratic sovereign state. Right now, giving up positions or doing any favors in each other’s direction is not on the agenda of neither the Sunrisian Second Republic nor of the Englean Kaiserreich, I’m sure. What we are mutually seeking is to put a stop to this unnecessary abrading between us and to find a way how SOWEFTA/MDAA on one side and the Englean Kaiserreich on another, could co-exist and feel secure. The saying “there can only be one” does not apply in this situation.”

Remainder Of Nuclear Weapons Ordered For Dismantling On West Zilveren Territory

The Parliamentary Legislative Assembly of West Zilveren Berg has passed a resolution at an early session today, which authorizes the dismantling of the remainder of nuclear weapons on the territory of West Zilveren Berg. Chairman Shou Vedder has declared in a follow-up reading that the new law references the nuclear weapons left on the territory of West Zilveren Berg that were part of the nuclear arsenal of united Zilveren Berg during the rule of Supreme Leader Rhul Gorm. The former dictator Gorm had the weapons deployed in an attempt of nuclear blackmail against surrounding countries and also threatened to use them during the military intervention by the Amestrris–Librira–Sunrisia 3-nation coalition. A failed detonation of one nuclear weapon during the war period, has caused destruction and a spread of radiation. The radiation had been contained by the coalition forces since then, but the clean-up is still being conducted by Sunrisian troops in West Zilveren Berg. Chairman Shou Vedder has said:

“In West Zilveren Berg, nuclear weapons will be fully put behind us. It’s in our past. We have already drawn up mechanisms for ourselves on how to guarantee our national security without nuclear blackmail. This method was more characteristic towards Dictator Rhul Gorm, but not us. The nuclear arsenal will be removed from our sovereign borders, but the dismantling process will be taking place here in West Zilveren Berg, without the nuclear weapons being transported abroad. We will be dismantling them with the help of Sunrisia, in accordance with our valued ecological standards. Our goal is for the last missile, bomb and warhead to be removed from our land. Since Dictator Rhul Gorm deployed them and put them out in the open, in a battle-readiness position for a fight against the Amestrris–Librira–Sunrisia 3-nation coalition and his own people, our “precious” Zilveren arsenal will not be difficult to find for us.”

PRESIDENT LIAVON JAKAVIENKA SAYS APHISEPTEN MIGHT AIM FOR AN ASSOCIATION WITH OPHIONEUS, FULL INCORPORATION INTO OPHIONEUS OR WALK AWAY FROM THE DEAL IF THERE’S NO INTEREST OR BENEFIT FOR BOTH SIDES

---

Aphisepten Republic President Liavon Jakavienka now says that Aphisepten might choose to become an associate state of Ophioneus rather than join fully. But the President also says that the Republic would not mind to still join Ophioneus fully like Azovskaya and Konetya had done. At the same time the President of the Republic said that Aphisepten might drop any of these plans and keep its independence, if there is no two-sided interest in closer integration.

President Liavon Jakavienka has changed his previous statements that were supporting the Aphisepten Republic as part of a big state. His government is now pushing for Aphisepten to become an associate state of Ophioneus and not its full part. But the President famous for his tough attitude and sharp discussions has said that Aphisepten can prosper perfectly alone as a free and sovereign nation with much potential.

“We are not pressuring our brothers in Ophioneus in any way. We are open to both a status of an associate state of Ophioneus which would be possible to achieve sooner, but we are ready to fully join Ophioneus too like Azovskaya and Konetya did in their time. But the systems in Aphisepten and Ophioneus are different and if they are indeed that different then maybe it would work better for us to stay apart as neighbors. There is no need for either one of us to change our system to adapt with other or to create a new system to suit everyone. If Ophioneus is no longer a left-leaning state, but Aphisepten is then so be it. We can live with these differences, but cooperate as neighbors. Aphisepten is a nation of great potential and if we look at the map around us there are a lot of Slavic nations out there doing great on their own. So can we. I especially enjoy reading about and seeing how North Baggnagia is not bothered by all these western imperialists surrounding them with their military. They just keep living as they did and good on them.”

Police around the nation have dispersed more street demonstrations without permits. Clashes also happened with radical far-right Aphiseptenite nationalist groups. There were no casualties, but the radicals ran away. The government plans to stiffen protest laws and take more legal action against the nationalist groups to limit their influence and activity in the nation. President Liavon Jakavienka has signed an executive order for more funding to the police and the military.

[Aphisepten]

APHISEPTEN WOULD JOIN AN EASTERN ORGANIZATION OR UNION, BUT WOULD NOT INITIATE ONE’S CREATION

---

Aphisepten Republic President Liavon Jakavienka added in that same conference where he talked about Ophioneus, that Aphisepten would join an organization or a union that existed in our part of the world, but will not take role in one’s initiation.

“Yes this might sound lazy, but we are just saying it as is. If there was an organization in our part of the world that could rival VU as its eastern counterpart, then we would join such an organization. If there was an organization or a union that would bring together all or most Slavic states in our part of the world, then we would join that organization too. Not just political or economic, but also a military organization would be something that we would probably join. All of them. But we have our own problems and we won’t be taking the lead in initiating the establishment of such unions. If somebody will take the lead in creating a solid Eastern Bloc of the 21st century, then we’re there. Until then, will just mind our own business. I already said that globalization is something that we dislike in this nation, but it’s a trend that we cannot stop. So in an age where you have to pick your camp, we are just looking at options. We looked at Ophioneus and we’re looking at these hypothetical organizations that would help create the Eastern Bloc.”

South Baggnagia Declared an Aspirant State with new Treaty

---

---

In the past month, South Baggnagia has declared it's intention to integrate within the Ventismarian community. South Baggnagian leadership identified the best way to do this was to approach the Ventismarian Union with the goal of eventually becoming a member of the Ventismarian Union itself.

The South Baggnagian Aspirant Treaty (SBAT) outlined the intention of both the government of South Baggnagia and the Ventismarian Union to bring South Baggnagia int oa more compatible environment in order for membership processes to commence with ease.

Originally South Baggnagian leadership wished to acquire full membership or associate membership straight away, however there we some reservations from Lindian and Felsinean MVPs about the nature of the South Baggnagian state and its current conflict with the North. There were also reservations regarding the South Baggnagian elections in which the ruling party gained a super-majority, with most VU member states relying on a more coalition based parliamentary system this was seen as a potential issue for Felsinean MVPs.

The treaty was ratified by all six members and the Ventismarian Parliament* allowing for the VU to send advisers to South Baggnagia in order to coordinate mutual policy on domestic and international issues. It is expected that South Baggnagia will be on track to deliver reforms in the coming years.

Imperial Weather Service Reports New Storms, Good News for Damsmar


Hurricane Claus, a Category 1 Storm, in the Centre Lutetien Ocean

Berlin, Kingdom of Prussia, Englean Kaiserreich -- While the tropics have been relatively calm for the past month, today the Kaiserliche-Marine's Naval Weather Station 31 in Longwrescheck has reported that Tropical Depression 121-33 has strengthened into a category 1 hurricane. This hurricane, named Claus, is in the centre Lutetien Ocean and is joined by Tropical Storm Dietrich and Tropical Depression 121-34. The latter two are located 350 miles off of Northwestern Zambian and 150 miles off of Northwestern Zambian, respectively. Luckily for Eubautu and other islands struck by Hurricane Bert earlier in hurricane season, Hurricane Claus will not be crossing the equator and will remain in the northern hemisphere. The KMNWS has stated that Claus is expected to stick with a northern approach, where it will hit a zone of high pressure and turn about 150 miles off of the Northeastern coast of the Antellien Islands. From this point it would continue on a western course and possibly strike Aznazia or the Allentyrian Blåtland Islands. As the landfall is at least a week away, it is currently unknown if this will happen. Along with the track, it is estimated that the storm will grow to be a category 4 storm - the largest of the season so far.

In the Corentian region, the Kaiserreich has its own personal storm. Tomorrow a large tropical depression is set to make landfall on the Hohenzern-Prussian coast, bringing a large amount of rainfall on the nation. Warnings have been put in place, as the storm is expected to bring about winds exceeding 50 mph and has the possibility of harbouring and generating tornadoes. This is the second storm to hit the Kaiserreich recently, with Hurricane Akira making landfall as a tropical storm after striking Belantica in May. This depression is expected to either link up with or push a current band of storms in the inland areas, which will benefit Damsmar greatly with much needed rain in their current drought.

Sunrisian Minister Of International Relations Ectrăr Álienan Might Stay In West Zilveren Berg For 3 More Days At Most

In what has already been his longest foreign visit, Sunrisian Minister of International Relations Ectrăr Álienan is set to stay in West Zilveren Berg for 3 more days at most, before finally going home. The Minister stated:

“I am already getting a little bit homesick, however, important things are happening here, so my presence is a must.”

With additionally-confirmed days, the visit of Minister Álienan to West Zilveren Berg will have amounted to a week in total. Presently, there are 2 diplomatic fronts “being fought”, with one of them in West Zilveren Berg, while the other has opened in the Englean Kaiserreich. Minister Ectrăr Álienan was asked by Sunrisian journalists in West Zilveren Berg on the progress by the Agency for Special Contacts Policy (ASCP) and the Minister did have some statements to share:

“I hear from my associates at the Department back in Sunrisia that good things are happening. To be brutally honest, the Sunrisian government has, in the past, perceived the Englean Kaiserreich, more specifically its’ leadership, as only understanding the language of strength best. Because of this, we didn’t bother much with diplomacy, although that was not entirely a smart or productive choice. You should always try “new things”, so diplomacy is something that was looked at, especially in the time when it did seem like most necessary. I think everybody can sleep calmly and comfortably at night. Corentia is getting back on track. Both sides have corresponded positively to a diplomatic engagement and I think great things are on the horizon. Not only can stable co-existence be achieved, but also the shared interest of avoiding mutual destruction and instability, in favor of continental prosperity. Everybody in this situation and in these talks is interested not in wasteful and needless destruction, but rather in Corentian prosperity, further Corentian self-sustainability and Corentia’s capabilities to compete with the rest of the world.”

Tropical Storm Noreen is likely to hit Damsmar as a tropical depression, but its a question of where

Tropical Storm Noreen is being watched firmly by SunalayaMet. The cyclone will make landfall on the coast of the Englean province of Hohenzern-Prussian, with sustained winds of 40 miles per hour and heavy rain expected. A storm surge is also being forecast with waves possibly high enough to cause marginal coastal flooding. The cyclone will weaken quickly as it hits the Corentian landmass, turning to a tropical depression before hitting Daredland. A YELLOW International RAIN and WIND warning has been issued for The Kingdom of Prussia, Kingdom of Hohenzern, Kingdom of Reuss-Gera and the Principality of Sangarn-Strelitz as well as YELLOW RAIN warnings for Aragon and Caledonia however due to the low certainty of the path of Noreen, a warning for the southern counties of The Bailor has not yet been issued on behalf of SunalayaMet.

The storm has already reached its peak outside of the Englean coast and will not get any stronger than it is now with gradual weakening before making landfall. We are also unsure if the storm will be able to maintain its status as a tropical depression as it crosses Engleberg, it is possible though that the low pressure system regains energy as it makes its way across the Sea of Damsmar. The storm is fairly unusual for its positioning, as tropical storms of this type mostly make concentrated landfall over eastern Smoya. Due to the odd positioning of the Belantic High the depression was able to strengthen and quicken up pace as it floated south towards Engleberg.

Most models are unsure about the forecast for Noreen post-landfall, as due to the nature of the current pressure pattern over Engleberg a certain trajectory is not yet known. However, most computer models including the SMGREP (SunalayaMet Ensemble System) say with a certain level of confidence that the depression will bounce over the Corentian high and hit some parts of Caledonia, Aragon and the southern counties of The Bailor. If this is true, then an AMBER warning for RAIN will be expected for those respective areas to be issued tomorrow. Due to the ground being as dry as it is in Damsmar, the heavy rain will not be seeping into the water table and as such will run off surfaces causing flash flooding, if the SMGREP is correct in its trajectory prediction. This will also not help the drought situation, as without a prolonged period of rain the rainfall accumulated will dry up before being of any use to drought-stricken areas.

Is War with The Bohin Over?

A huge amount of information has been released to the public by allied forces in Molenston, this morning. Ten separate operations had begun, continued or concluded in this last month which saw unprecedented success in the Fourth Malesti-Bohi War.
First off, a new Rhodeve-Commonwealth-Aznazian-Rezuan-Belantican-Molenstoni attack on Moroni occurred with an objective to open a new front on the Bohi straight of Ukhal and the infamous Ukhal peninsula. Who lead this incredibly important invasion? None other than the North Rukonians and Rezuans who had lead the initial attack on the Ukhal fortress early in the war. The invasion was a massive success, although the fortress itself has yet to be taken.
Rhodeve forces have attacked and captured the Bohi city of Hera during operation Sunny Skies. The forces present have now been tasked with removing all Divergian jamming technology from the area, allowing for further attacks along the Bohi-Molenstoni border.
Molenstoni forces have retaken Limpopo. This marks the first time in over 16 months that Molenstonis have set foot in this important city. Hundreds of pictures are already surfacing of the Molenstoni flag being raised on various monuments and structures across the city.
Rezuan forces have retaken the city of Brut. The city of Weia has been surrounded and is now under siege by joint Rezuan-Molenstoni forces.
Commonwealth and Aznazian forces now, have attacked the Bohin city of Bissau.
Commonwealth forces also began a new bombing campaign into Communist controlled Uszwa, marking the first attack on Uszwan territory during the course of this war. Uszwa had previously been helping the Bohi forces in their invasions along the Sivier river.
The Rezuan lead allied forces have finally reached Sugmei City, threatening invasion unless President Sugmei is handed over and The Bohin surrenders.
Allied Naval forces have ended all trade roots into The Bohin, diverting all cargo to the allied controlled Bohin City. Similarly, all oil from the Bohi oil fields along the coast are being cut off, drastically reducing the Bohi ability to effectively wage war.
Belantican forces have continued Operation Wyvern in Northeastern Bohin to reduce military presence in the area.
What does all this mean for potential peace? Admiral-General Zaira Timmel of the Rhodeve Armed Forces has been tasked with leading the peace term discussions. Known for being unwavering in her resolve, she has finalized a list of surrender terms with The Bohi forces, which will need to be ratified by each of the allied nations and the Commonwealth. In total 5 nations will need to ratify the surrender terms before they can be considered complete. Rhodevus, Aznazia, Rezua, Belantica, Molenston and the Commonwealth will need to ratify these terms of surrender.
The updated terms:

1. Return of all conquered Molenstoni Territory
2. Return the Southern Highlands to Molenston
3. No military naval buildup until 2050. Only 1 destroyer, 2 frigates and 10 patrol ships allowed (no corvettes, submarines or min warfare craft0
4. Changed Term (lighter): 25% reduction in army size, 50% reduction in paramilitary size. Commonwealth forces will oversee this reduction
5. Foreign companies will be allowed into The Bohin
6. Work will be done to increase the average income of citizens by 500 NSD
7. Changed Term (lighter): 65% -35% Molenston-Bohin controlled over the Bauer Reservoir
8. Changed Term (lighter): Military spending will be limited to 2.5% of the GDP
9. Changed Term (harsher): Bohi military presence along the Bohi-Molenstoni border reduced to 10,000 soldiers
10. Changed Term (lighter): give up all Divergian Communication Jamming Technology. This will be done without Commonwealth over-site
11. Changed Term (lighter): Reparation of 500 million NSD. 277 Million to Molenston. 45 million to Rhodevus. 47 million to Rezua. 45 million to Belantica. 45 million to Aznazia. 41 million to the Rhodeve Commonwealth
12. All POWs to be released
13. Allied soldiers allowed to enter Bohi land to reclaim bodies of fallen soldiers
14. All Bohi soldiers accused of rape and brutal murder to surrender to Rezuan soldiers and handed over to face punishment at the USA World Court for war crimes
15. Changed Term (lighter): A 1km DMZ, half in the Bohin, half in Molenston
16. Changed Term (lighter): Bannerless Brotherhood terrorists will be handed over to the Commonwealth
17. Changed Term (lighter):Libel against Rhodevus and Molenston will end for a period of 5 years
18. End cooperation with the Red Hand and Bannerless Brotherhood terrorist organizations
19. New Term: Supply all materials for the rebuilding of multiple desalinization plants in Molenston to the sum of 89 million NSD

The terms are broken down into 5 groups. Previous terms, of which there are 9. These are the terms which have been accepted by the Bohin from the original 19 demands made, without any changes. Next are the Changed lighter terms of which there are 8. These are terms which are similar to those made in the original demands, but are less harsh than the original statements. Next are the Changed harsher terms of which there is 1. This term is a harsher one than that of the original 19 demands. New terms, of which there is 1, which represents a new term added by the Admiral-General. Finally, there is the unaccepted term, of which there is one. President Sugmei has refused to step down.

It is believed that both Rhodevus and the Rhodeve Commonwealth will accept these terms and ratify them. It is now up to the remaining members to do the same.

Lower House Ratifies Bohi Surrender Demands, Moves To The Senate
Today the Lower House of Parliament passed ratification the terms of surrender of The Bohin with a 74% majority among MPs. It now moves into the Senate, where it is expected to be voted on tomorrow morning, and with a very high chance of passing the Senate floor without much trouble before making it's way to the Queen's desk to be signed into law. Those in the LH that opposed it stressed the importance that the destruction of communication-jamming equipment should be overseen by members of the Coalition against The Bohin over the course of the Bohi-Molenston War current ongoing. Despite this one flaw seen by MPs with the demands, the LH went ahead and passed it through without much hassle.

"The ratification of the surrender of The Bohin is how we must end this conflict," stated one MP from the Conservative Party, "as the war itself has been raging for the last few months, this will mark an end to aggressions started by The Bohin, and force them to face the consequences of attacking their neighboring state of Molenston. While these two nations have had wars between each other many times in the past, it is frowned upon in today's world, and it is only reasonable that The Bohin does indeed receive punishment from the international community for this unacceptable actions against Molenston. What we have done today is made it clear that this nation, being the United Queedoms, is not only ready to end this ongoing conflict, but to make sure those that have caused this war to be held responsible for actions that are indeed criminal, and face the consequences for committing to the spread of violence in that region. Am I sure that Belanticans living not too far away from the war in the states of Honto and Yamashima will be able to rest a bit easier tonight, knowing that the troubles ongoing within their neighbors is drawing to a close."

With the bill moving onto the Senate, many senators already have stated their support for the ratification, and stated that it will be at the top of the daily agenda tomorrow. Once the Senate officially passes this, Queen Karen will be presented with the terms of surrender and either fully ratify or veto it, but many believe that she will sign off on the ratification to begin to draw the conflict to a close for the United Queendoms against The Bohin, and begin the post-war recovery of the region of South Ziamban.

Peace is Ever Closer

BREAKING NEWS: The Communist State of Uszwa has officially surrendered to Commonwealth forces, agreeing to pull back from the war to a tune of 98 million NSD in war reparations. While this deal would also require ratification of all allied members, it is expected to go very smoothly, as Uszwan forces have already been tasked with a full retreat and surrender, being monitored by Aznazian and Commonwealth forces. This will put an added strain on Bohi forces in the region who will now be continuing the fight alone.

As for the major treaty with The Bohin, snags are being discovered as Aznazian and Rezuan parliaments wish to change or add some terms to the treaty. Specifically, Aznazia wishes to add the turning in of Red Hand terrorist members along with those of the Bannerless Brotherhood. It is believed that the Bohin will accept this additional term. Rezua has proposed amendments to two terms. More so, they wish to have the original terms made forth in the list of 19 demands at the start of the peace treaty process. The 1km DMZ will be fully in Bohi territory and Commonwealth or coalition forces observing of all jamming technology surrender and dismantling. It is as of now unknown if the Bohin will agree to these demands.

Ratification processes of the current version of the peace treaty are being asked to stop for the time being in light of these last requests. Admiral-General Zaira Timmel will once again be tasked with leading the peace treaty meeting, which will take place this Friday. As a show of faith for the creating of a lasting peace, all Allied attacks have been stopped and will be for the duration of 4 hours. Being designated the Four-Hour-Truce.

Pantorran Alliance Dismissal Bill Rushes Through Parliament

---

Barbara Giles has received cross-party support for the bill

Currently in the National Parliament, a bill named the "Pantorran Alliance Dismissal Member's Bill" or, PAD-MB, is achieving a resounding amount of cross-party support. An unusual sight to see in the National Parliament.

The bill was authored and signed off by SDP leader, Barbara Giles and has since then received the support of most of the Social Democrats, the GLA, Liberation Party and Popular Front.

PAD-MB is a "Member's Bill", this means that the bill was not authored by the government, which would give it the name "Government Bill". Due to it being a member's bill, the bill lacks the protection and power of the government in power and is susceptible to a veto by David George or the Lord-Secretary of State, Frederick Eldridge. However, the reason this bill is a problem for David George is the fact that his coalition partners and allies has rushed to support the bill, namely the Popular Front.

The Popular Front is currently in the governing coalition with the Democracy Party and Christian Democrats, implicating the Democracy Party's already delicate alliance.

The alliance with Pantorrum has always been controversial since it's signing especially during the Konetya Crisis. Public perception has waivered in the past and has caused problems for David George's administration, now they have culminated in the SDP putting forward a bill that would pressure the government into suspending the alliance with Pantorrum for the time being.

It is suspected that the government will veto the bill, however, there's a chance a second iteration of the bill will be put forward costing serious political capital for the Democracy Party and harming the public perception of the government most likely resulting in either the Christian Democrats or the Popular Front turning their backs on the coalition.
