Creperia says ‘yes’ to same-sex marriage: Government and the Supreme Court to make the historic reform in marriage laws

A historic change takes place in Creperia, as the nation shows its’ acceptance of LGBT communities as equal members of the common nation within the free world, following a national referendum on same-sex marriage

History has been made in Creperia today. With the results of the recently-held national referendum on same-sex marriage having been revealed and 84% of registered voters having chosen the “Yes” option, Creperia would officially be legalizing same-sex marriage. The very moment when the results were revealed and broadcast live across the nation and even the world, it has caused a country-wide euphoria, rather than a clash of values, showing that the majority of our people consist of those speaking in favor of equality. Tears of joy and outburst of emotions can still be seen all across Creperia, wherever you go, showing that tonight the long wish of many people in this country has finally become a reality.

With the official outcome of the referendum, the government has taken steps that it had promised to take in case the referendum results with support for same-sex marriage. The Supreme Court has approved the legalization of same-sex unions and recognition of such marriages as newest additions to the Creperian Constitution, while the National Assembly has officially passed a legislation making same-sex marriage legal within the sovereign borders of Creperia, while also giving recognition by the state to those same-sex marriages that took place outside Creperia, as valid in our country. Soon after the revelation of the results, other major political parties and social activist groups did not hesitate or wait long to give their opinions on the outcome of the referendum and this historic change that has occurred in our country.

The Democratic Party, the Reformist Party and the Union Party have all expressed their support and respect for the decision made by the Creperian people and the government’s quick adoption and implementation of laws in accordance with the choice that the society has made. All 3 parties expressed their official recognition of Creperia becoming a country, where same-sex marriage is legal and said that they would respect and protect the new law as the official newest addition to the Constitution. The more conservative Homeland Party and the Socialist Party expressed disagreement with the decision that Creperians had made and further preserved their position that marriage can only be between a man and a woman, however, due to the nation having given the official verdict on the issue via a democratic referendum, the parties have expressed their obligation to comply with the new law and identically protect it as the newest addition to the Constitution. The majority of social activist groups have embraced the outcome and said that Creperia has made a gigantic leap in its’ civil rights progress, while a number of more conservative movements have stated that with respect to same-sex marriage becoming an official law, these groups would speak and fight for the rights of religious freedom and preservation of traditional believes, all in accordance with the law.

Meanwhile, amid this historical day in Creperia, President Vidd Āmore has come out in front of the nation and the world for an official address:

”Our people have made history here tonight. Fellow Creperians have shown to each other that our nation consists of wonderful people, who all wish the same right of maximum happiness to each other, a right to take everything that each of us is entitled to out of life and live happily together, enjoying our mutual freedom on which this nation has been founded on and continues existing under today. Thanks to you, the people of Creperia, every single person in this country will now have the right to marry whom they love, no matter what gender they are and no matter whether certain portions of society find it legitimate. With today’s change in the course of history of our country, Creperia is only a few steps away from becoming a fully-equal society. Of course, thanks to the emotions caused by tonight’s events, many might say that Creperia has already reached that point, but we all know the saying that there is always room for improvement and that we should never cease the pursuit of perfection, even if it might just sound like a dream sometimes.

To that portion of our society that might not agree with what has happened tonight, I want to say that this reformation in the way our community functions does not mean that traditional values will be neglected. Sure, our values are changing with time, but it is not our pursuit to forcefully persuade our citizens to adopt a certain set of new values, even if they do not believe in them. As I said, our focus is to create an equal society, where all ideas and beliefs can prosper and coexist, without one being suppressed or neglected in favor of the other. Sure, the idea of creating a fully-equal society might not entirely sound realistic, as there are incompatible views within society that cannot be implemented jointly into our system and only one straight path can be chosen, however, that is exactly why our government will continue working hard to make sure that any and all rights of all citizens are preserved and can coexist within our truly free and democratic community.

The reality is that these changing values still exist as a form of radical ideas in certain parts of the world and the preservationists of traditional values develop a conspiring view that these social changes are directed against traditions. I can’t speak for other parts of Sunalaya, but as President of this country, I can only say that it is not the case in Creperia. These social changes are not a form of direction which we are trying to implement, but rather a form of tools that we are trying to give our citizens, so that each of them may freely go their own direction without restrictions. To put it more simply, by legalizing same-sex marriage, we are not trying to forcefully propagate any type of lifestyle among our citizens, but rather get rid of any social restrictions that prohibit certain parts of our society from leading their life the way they want to. This law does not mean that our goal is to make homosexual families replace the traditional families, but rather show that they can coexist and that is what our society knows and wants and thus has demonstrated it by making the choice that they did in this referendum.

Arguments may still arise that by adopting such a law, Creperia as a nation is going against what the Greater Force has been teaching us, but if we look back at those teachings, we were also taught that we are not in a position to judge, only the Greater Force did. Therefore, by having laws restricting people from living their lives any way they want as long as it does not harm anybody around them, is a form of judgement, which we are not in a position to make. Therefore, if we look from a more traditional perspective, our nation has on a contrary taken a right step and removed all boundaries, giving every individual the right to live his or her life the way they want to as long as it does not harm anyone, without fear of judgement, which we are not in a position to give. We must remember that the Greater Force loves all of its’ creations and encourages us to love and respect each other and embrace the fact that we are all free spirits, that can only be guided, but cannot be lead down a certain path by force. And even then, no matter what path that free spirit goes, the Greater Force remains by the side of each of us, no matter what kind of people we are.

In conclusion, if there is still anyone out there, who might still not entirely believe of what has taken place here tonight and whether it is a reality, I think that it is better for them to hear this one more time from the words of the President. Following the results of the official referendum on same-sex marriage, where 84% of registered voters have spoken in favor of its’ legalization, the Supreme Court has approved a legislation enacting and recognizing same-sex unions as official equal-status marriages and making the new law an official newest addition to the national Constitution. This was followed by the final vote within the National Assembly, where an identical law was passed with a majority, borderline unanimous votes, making same-sex marriages legal and valid within the sovereign territory of the Democratic Republic of Creperia, including both – marriages that took place in Creperia and outside the country, in such sovereign states, where identical laws are in place. It might sound like a cliché comment or a cheesy comment, but I will end by saying that love has prevailed tonight and true love is what helped us reach this point. Thank you.”

The State of Smoya - Special Report
The Daily Epic

The Grand Speech

It was this fine evening in Dronden where President Vladimir Karavayev gave a speech to the people of Smoya, with references to the international community throughout. About one million attended the rare ceremony of a presidential speech; over one hundred million were glued to their televisions across the country as the "Great Panda" gave an emotional, moving, powerful speech to the entire country. "Fellow human beings," as he addressed the crowd at the start, "a desperate change is needed in our country."

The President began talking about a large change of focus that his administration has decided to implement. "We as a people here in Smoya will turn away from the greed that has plagued fellow souls, a dangerous culture based off financial power, and a piece of paper that has the ability to devour the humanity of, frankly, too many people across the world - money. Wherever I look nowadays, I see a culture revolving around the naturally valueless money. It's a global phenomenon. I am pleased to inform you that we will not, as a government at least, keep record of GDP anymore or focus on preserving some fat cat's profits in business. Our government shall revolve around GHP - gross happiness product. This is not to say we are removing currency from circulation, or bouncing on debt, or going to spend recklessly - simply, any government action from here on shall be based on increasing the gross happiness product of our people. The Smoyan government will essentially now sponsor happiness, and we are delighted to be the first to do so. For that reason, the creation of the Department of Happiness will be created. Happiness is a national treasure, worth more than a GDP of 22 trillion, or a navy of 400 ships. Hopefully, we will not be alone in cherishing happiness as the most important duty of government, which should be the priority of every government worldwide."

After talking about happiness - which at some points later in the speech resembled much of a personal motivational talk to the people of Smoya - Karavayev went back to finance and announced the new budget decided by Congress, without going into too much detail on the numbers themselves. "Our new government missions on happiness will be our future, for eternity. Smoya shall stand as a beacon of happiness worldwide, with the intent of helping people make their lives meaningful not as government to citizen but as human being to human being... in order to finance these new happiness missions in order to improve the well being of our people, we have put more funding towards the Department of Happiness and to school districts nationwide. Education, luckily the majority of our loyal congressmen have agreed on, should be a priority for national happiness. Thus, education will greatly receive funds, with spending almost growing by 45%. Additionally, areas such as health care - physical and mental, social safety nets, and protection of the environment will be our next areas of spending receiving greater funds. Also, foreign aid will increase, as we believe it is right for people around the world, regardless of nationality, to live a meaningful life. To make up for all of these spending increases, military spending will be cut greatly. This does not mean we are abandoning our patriotic soldiers who are willing to risk their lives for our country - but rather, we believe that it is ridiculous that we focus so much on defense, which we spend on the most right now, than our own happiness. In a way, it is disgusting that other people can not see it this way, and instead continue to wage fruitless wars around the world to show strength or feed an obsession with power. No doubt our government has also, sadly, participated in fruitless combat at times in the past. Yet military will, despite the spending cuts, still stand to protect our people and allies."

And on the spirit of Earth Day, the president gave a message to the people on protecting the Earth. He focus greatly on global warming, and about introducing harsh penalties for corporations who are "wrecking our home". At times throughout the last part, he even shed a tear, which came as a surprise to some who thought Mr. Karavayev was the "Strong man" who he appeared as, though many others also applauded at his deeply personal, connecting words. He spoke of working peacefully with other nations to protect the Earth as well, and not supporting any action that would harm the world or its natural resources.

Operation "Full Liberation" Update

~P.O.D. International Broadcasting

Since the beginning of Operation "Full Liberation", the General Staff was well aware that it would be some time before its completion. While retraining the local officials to prevent the vulnerability of the island nation to use as terror staging area, it was decided that a permanent base of operations on the island could benefit The Dictatorship's interest in defending its ally, The United Democratic Republic of Smoya. While further increasing The Dictatorship's ability to protect its ally, a permanent base of operations in the area could be used to better international relationships within the area. While the island nation will remain governed by its own government, it appears as though it will now receive permanent protection from The Dictatorship's forces stationed on the island.

As the Marines on the island are making progress in retraining the local authorities to prevent terror attacks on the island, it appears as though it will only be a short time before P.O.D.M.C. personnel change gears to function as Amber Island's new defensive force, prepared to protect the interests of The Dictatorship its allies.

South Sunrisia Rejects Ties To Cyber-Attacks Against North Sunrisia

In an ironic twist of events, the neighboring North Sunrisia has recently experienced similar cyber-attacks against its’ military networks, as our country had not that while ago. The government in Aestin and the North Sunrisian Military have laid out a set of different approaches to what might have happened and mentioned a number of potential attackers that have possibly carried out this cyber-assault. The different versions of events given by the North Sunrisian side closely matched our country’s perspective when South Sunrisia suffered through the same attacks, as North Sunrisia has identically laid the blame on terrorist organizations and power-hungry countries. However, it did not come as a big surprise to the Supreme Leadership and Government when our neighbors to the north have placed South Sunrisia on the list of potential perpetrators of these cyber-attacks.

Prime Minister Rêc Práter has casually said that the North Sunrisian comments could be considered “fair enough”, seeing to how our country had also laid the blame on North Sunrisia when the South Sunrisian military networks faced cyber-attacks, however, the Head of the Government soon reaffirmed that South Sunrisia had nothing to do with the cyber-attacks against North Sunrisia, despite allegations and open accusations. The Prime Minister had reminded the authorities in Aestin about a series of seemingly-productive conversations that took place between the sides and said that it simply made no sense for South Sunrisia to sabotage the results of the diplomatic dialogue, risk the stability of the Harmony Pact and carry out cyber-attacks almost immediately after having accused North Sunrisia of identical activities, knowing that the blame for retaliation and the backlash would immediately come back. Nevertheless, the backlash still came, despite South Sunrisia not having committed any attacks.

Supreme Leader Víc Sêrria reaffirmed the absence of South Sunrisian involvement when asked about it by the media, while the top commanders of the South Sunrisian Revolutionary Guardian Army (SSRGA) have stated that the military is currently focused on enhancing cyber defenses in order to be ready to fight back against potential future attacks, therefore, South Sunrisia does not have time for offense, when all attention needs to go to defense. Meanwhile, the Supreme Leader has said that South Sunrisia and North Sunrisia have both possibly become victims to the same attacker, who has not only launched a well-calculated cyber-assault, but also made the two countries blame each other for the cyber-attacks, rather than possibly cooperate on preventing them in the future.

Supreme Leader Víc Sêrria said that this was either a coincidence that both neighboring countries were both attacked within such a short time span between them or that some hostile force is actually trying to target powerful states, which lead to the Supreme Leader wishing caution for the neighboring countries and other regions of the world, as they might be next. The Supreme Leader has also pointed out a simpler possibility, stating that an inter-Sunrisian conflict and a stagnant peace between the two countries may actually be in some anonymous third party’s interests.

South Sunrisia Launches Temporary Military Intervention In Senkaria: Support Launched For Noctaria

The command of the South Sunrisian Revolutionary Guardian Army (SSRGA) has announced today that our country’s armed forces have launched a temporary and limited military operation in Senkaria in reaction to the escalating instability in the region. The goal is to provide support to forces fighting for independence of the recently-established Free State of Noctaria from Senkaria currently ruled by an illegal Bannerless Brotherhood-backed regime of Chairman Drey. The South Sunrisian Military has launched the operation in Noctaria/Senkaria under the orders of the Supreme Leadership and Government and the effort itself has been authorized by the Supreme Council and the Consultative Assembly of South Sunrisia. The operation is said to only involve the South Sunrisian Air Force and the South Sunrisian Naval Forces, while the possibility of a combat operation on the ground has been ruled out. Land elements might only be involved in case advisors or special forces are needed in certain moments.

Apart from further adding gasoline to the fire and escalating chaos in the country just to keep himself in power, Chairman Drey, his regime’s forces and his Bannerless Brotherhood militia supporters are threatening the security of the newly-established democratic state of Senkaria, which has become a catalyst and a symbol of the fight for freedom and against terrorism, anarchy and tyranny in Senkaria. The South Sunrisian Military would only be involved in helping Noctaria defend itself and not intervene in the rest of the country’s civil conflict, however, when asked about South Sunrisia’s position on dealing not just with the Noctarian issue, but the problem in Senkaria overall, he had this to say:

“It has already been confirmed by our top generals that the South Sunrisian Revolutionary Guardian Army would only be helping Noctaria secure its’ newly-established independence from Senkaria by reinforcing the rebels from the back as they lead the fight. This is the primary objective and involvement in the rest of Senkaria’s civil turmoil is not part of the SSRGA’s mission. However, the armed forces have also been given the freedom to deliver very tough hits with all the resources at their disposal, in order to cripple the capabilities of the Senkarian “Military” loyal to the self-proclaimed Chairman Drey and eradicate as many Bannerless Brotherhood terrorist militants as possible, so that neither of that would be capable of attacking Noctaria anymore.

For the South Sunrisian position on the rest of the conflict in Senkaria, we believe that the USA should once again take the lead and come up with the solution how to remove the genocidal “Chairman” Drey from power and bringing him to justice, while helping bring back the proper authorities in the country and return overall stability to Senkaria. Noctaria’s status as a newly-independent sovereign state and the recognition of its’ legitimacy should also be looked over. As an elected member of the USA Security Council, South Sunrisia will support any resolution that would help quickly bring a happy ending to this story.”

Northern Ocean declared War Zone.
Written by Rachael Rasputin

The Senkarian Government has officially released an international statement that the ocean north of Senkaria, and in between Senkaria and the USJR has been officially declared a war zone in hopes of stopping trade and aid towards the revolutionaries of Noctaria. Chairman Drey released the following statement.

"The Utopian Society of Senkaria has been hit with turmoil that should suffer no nation. I have met with our new General and discussed that it is in the best interest of the international community that the Northern Ocean be declared a war zone. Military ships, and drones will secure the area and there will be no tolerance for unofficial entrance of the war zone. All trade ships will be searched and all military advances will be taken as an act of war. I apologize for this inconvenience, but it's in the best interest of Senkaria and the entire world."

Earlier this evening, The General had been chosen and will now be serving under Drey and will be in charge of all future military involvements. The Martial Law is still in place, and order will be maintained soon enough.

Divergia stands against POD expansion

The Holy Emperor announced that the Holy State of Divergia would stand against recent acts conducted by the Dictatorship of Peace or Death or more commonly known as POD. The Dictatorship latterly acquired territory in the form of an Island. This island is known as Amber Island and is located in the Sunatlantic Ocean. The POD government stated that its aggressive stance was to stamp out drugs and terrorism that plague the island. The Holy Emperor said regarding the matter:

What the POD have done is attack the Island nation. Amber Island was once a place of relative peace and calm, and The POD have invaded their nation. Their land is now under control of a militaristic power hungry nation with no concern of the people that live on Amber Island. They have no concern for their soveirgnty or their souls. The Dictatorship of Peace and Death claim that their outright colonization of Amber Island was to suppress terrorist organizations and stamp out the drug trade on the Island. However, these claims are nothing more than lies. The trade of drugs in the region has had no impact on their nation, and they care nothing about any terrorist organizations there. As we've seen recently, their true colors are much different that the stories they've painted. Their goal is to threaten our military power within the region, and to threaten Divergia itself. They are constructing bases on Amber Island to threaten peace and stability in the region, and not to protect their allies. I will not stand for it, we as a people will not stand for it. We shall oppose this aggression and strengthen ourselves in the region by expanding our own bases to be capable of housing more marines, ships, and aircraft.

Communist Reich to Invest Additional Resources In Re-Stabilizing Almst and former Ezklavozskian Territories

Following Premier Richtofen's Leave of Absence from his leadership position, the Reich entered a period of unexpected military and political silence, tending to their own devices as a nation and improving on a variety of things... until now. Around 5:30 RST, the Reichstag has been in deliberations with the People's Commissar Council and the Reich Armed Forces concerning the ongoing crisis in Almst. "We cannot sit around and watch this continue to happen..." Chancellor Maxis stated to Parliament "The situation in Almst has begun to intensify at a rapid rate, Radiation is ravaging the northern regions of Almst and the majority of former Ezklavozskain Territory. We failed Ezklavozski back when they were united, the least we can do now is pour as much humanitarian aid into the country, as of now, the Reichstag and Military Commanders have been in conference between each other, and the decision has been made to create a Special Task Force that will be sent down to Almst, as well as a large Humanitarian Operation that will consist of Decontamination Specialists and other non-military affiliated groups."

Following Maxis' statement, General Nikolai Krukov was the next one to speak "We have been in deliberations with the Reichstag and have agreed that the time to act is now, we must not sit by idly while the people of Almst continue to suffer such recurring disasters, thus Special Task Force Ventismar Almst has been created, with the sole of purpose of aiding in the decontamination efforts and ongoing humanitarian aid. This Task Force, which has been comprised of the brightest minds that the Military can provide has been given the job of protecting the Humanitarian Forces and managing the Decontamination Units which will be deployed alongside this humanitarian force, we have not fully dedicated ourselves to the situation in Almst, until now. In a few days time, the Special Task Force will be sent to the region of Almst, while the Humanitarian Forces will be sent as soon as possible to the region in an attempt to aid in efforts of revitalizing the region, we at the Reich Central Command would like to reiterate that the Special Task Force will only be there in assuring the protection of our Humanitarian Forces, as well as, if the government of Almst requests it: maintaining peace within the region."

It was at the behest of the Reichstag Parliament that this Special Task Force be created, instead of sending a massive military force to the region in order to keep order, as both the Government and the Military see the Government of Almst to be relatively stable and without the need of such a large military force.

General Ads Responds to The Holy Emperor of Divergia

~P.O.D. International Broadcasting

In response to the accusations of the Divergian Holy Emperor, General Ads called for meeting with the press in which he would inform the world of the facts concerning Amber Island.

The following was spoken during the meeting:

"Ladies and gentlemen of the press and leaders of the world, The Dictatorship has been recently accused of taking Amber Island as our own. The Dictatorship has been further accused of challenging the military power Divergia being our primary goal. I assure you all that this is not the case. We are working with the government of Amber Island and have taken the lives of the residents of the island into heavy consideration. Because of this consideration, The Dictatorship will be purchasing a portion of the island for the establishment of a permanent P.O.D.N. and P.O.D.M.C. presence on the Island. Our will be on call to support the current government of Amber Island, such support will be considered a secondary priority. The primary priority of troops stationed at the planned facility on Amber Island will be the defense of the facility. The tertiary priority of troops stationed on the island will be assisting in the defense of our nearby ally, The United Democratic Republic of Smoya. After the completion of operation 'Full Liberation', it is hoped that we will never be required to mobilize our forces on Amber Island.

"We have not taken Amber Island as our own. Amber Island will remain a sovereign nation governed by its own government. The Dictatorship will not interfere further with the government of Amber Island, so long as the Amber Island government does not threaten the interests of The Dictatorship. Should Amber Island refuse our assistance, we will not provide it. This being said, we will not remove our military presence from the island, as the land purchased for construction of a P.O.D.N. facility will be considered our territory.

"Through time, The Dictatorship does plan to use its presence on the island to bolster our relationships with The Fiefdom of Philomachus and The United Sovereign Kingdoms of Rhodevus, as well as to establish relationships with The Federal Republic of Aznazia, The Democratic Republic of Creperia, The Armed Republic of Oblaren, and The Federal Republic of Toxinesia. The Dictatorship would indeed prefer to avoid war, though we are always prepared to do what is necessary to defend our allies and our interests."

If Young Eko don't trust u I'm gon shoot u

Aye

Aye you know who it is

It's MC Ezzy in case you didn't

This is my first track, so you probably don't, but anyways...

I was at the kitchen sink
When I smelled a bad stink
I looked down south
It was coming from Christina's mouth
She needs some toothpaste
She is a disgrace
Jesus Christ girl
You've stunk up the world

So you've got a stronger military
At least we have deodorant
Your army may be scary
At least we have breath mints
Rezua may wield power
At least we don't smell really bad
Rezua take a shower
The whole world will be glad

First two parts of song repeat themselves

News Bulletin: May-Day

Jamestown In the yearly celebrations of May-Day, demonstrations were held in most major metropolises by the Communists Party. These demonstrations were located at each city's major icon, with protests in Jamestown taking place in Red Square, and those in St. Paulsburg taking place at the Winter Palace. This year, the focus of each demonstration was on the current war in Senkaria. Demonstrators held signs and chanted for each side in the conflict to approve a cease-fire.

Tension In Suffolk Rise Over Unfair Usage Of Land By Neighbors, Federal Government
Charlton, Suffolk

Recently in the state capital of Suffolk, people were gather to mass protest the federal government over what is claimed to be an unfair burden on their state to their much neighbors of Watkins and Nuranto. A recent bill was passed in the Common House was in favor of Watkin's demands of keeping a new reservoir and gas pipeline out of their sate, and instead having it located in the much smaller sate of Suffolk. Many of the protestors there were from the areas that would be affected by the proposed pipeline and where it will would when a new dam is constructed.

"This is simply unfair!"yelled famous pro-Suffolk activist John Haynes through a megaphone,"Time and time again are we forced into something we didn't want part of! This has always happened between us, and all the other states of this lousy country we were forced into a long time ago! You know, it wouldn't be so bad if they gave us more respect! So I say they should go find a lake in Watkins, I know they have them, or build a dam to make a huge lake for their own water needs! Why should WE have to have THEIR damn dam!? Why should We gave to give up OUR land, OUR water, OUR gas, for those schmucks down in Montego and Nuranto?! They can go get it somewhere else! What about all that land around those cities, that is free to be used for that stuff! Keep it out of mah Suffolk!"

Needless to say, there was a bunch of cheering from fellow activists and bystanders. The state governments of Suffolk, Nuranto, and Watkins, as well as the federal government, have yet to make a statement over the current unrest. However, sources from inside the Suffolk legislature said that it is leaning towards the needs of the people it represents. We will continue to keep track of this story as this progresses.

Government to Decrease Corporate and Sales Taxes to 7% and 15% Respectively

The Capslandian Taxation Department has announced a decrease in corporate and sales taxes in an effort to boost corporate cooperation and competitiveness. The sales and corporate tax have not been altered since the early 1950s which has lead to many Capslandian businesses adapting and adjusting to the relatively competitive Capslandian markets. Recently Rubicon Conglomerate, Capsland's second largest business, bought out a smaller company within the soft drinks market, raising Rubicon's market share to just over 48%. This sparked concern in the recent Capslandian Business Summit held last Wednesday. There the representative for small businesses in the soft drinks market voiced their concern to the government that Rubicon was building a monopoly not only in the soft drinks market but in other markets such as the information technology market, one of Capsland's biggest and most profitable markets. The Rubicon representative announced that Rubicon would still provide adequate competitiveness and not force smaller businesses out of the market. Nevertheless, the Executive Chancellor, with the senate's support, has announced that he would force the markets within Capsland to be more competitive with modified taxes.

These new taxes are predicted to make it easier for Capslandian businesses to operate within Capsland without much of a burden. It is also predicted that the new taxes would make it more porfitable for international businesses to move to Capsland, spurring the economy. Left-wingers within the senate have voiced their concern. They stated that the new taxes would cause a huge hole in Capsland's new budget. The taxes were estimated to cost the government ₡5.7 billion. However, the Taxation Department noted that the increased market activity and business incentives would push the Capslandian GDP up anyway, causing more revenue for the government.

The new taxes will come into law within a week when the Executive Chancellor, Bryant Rennard, signs the new budget.

Mission Completed: South Sunrisia Conducts Early Withdrawal From Senkaria

The Ministry of Defense and Force Development and the command of the South Sunrisian Revolutionary Guardian Army (SSRGA) have announced that the armed forces have completed their operations in Senkaria, or more specifically in the Free Land of Noctaria, a newly-established sovereign state. It was announced by the military from the start that the operations would be short and limited, however, a specific timeframe for how long the SSRGA would operate in Noctaria, was not announced. Now, all the required bodies have confirmed that by a swift decision of the Supreme Leadership and Government, the military of South Sunrisia would be finishing the operation and withdrawing forces from Noctaria/Senkaria today. The Supreme Leadership and Government have already authorized the ending of the South Sunrisian military operations in the region and the withdrawal of forces, which has already went into motion this morning.

The military has admitted that the withdrawal has been ordered earlier than planned, however, top generals and officers have given an account of the operations, saying that South Sunrisia has successfully completed its’ objectives in the conflict zone. According to them, the military capabilities of the Bannerless Brotherhood militants and Drey’s forces have taken a hit and suffered damage by SSRGA’s opinion, limiting their capabilities to continue a successful offensive against Noctaria. Meanwhile, the break-away state was bought time to strengthen its’ defenses and would now Noctarians would remain stronger and more prepared to protect their land from potential aggression by Drey and the Bannerless Brotherhood. The Ministry of Defense and Force Development and the command of the SSRGA have reaffirmed that South Sunrisia is not interested or did not originally seek to threaten the territorial integrity of Senkaria, but with the events that are currently taking place in the country, with terror practically having its’ hand on Senkaria’s government, South Sunrisia has made a choice to save lives, protect freedom and support the efforts of all people in the country to defend themselves from terror any way they can. The state position remains that the USA will be the final force to end the Senkarian crisis.

With the national leadership and the military deciding that the mission has been completed, despite the conflict in Senkaria not having ended, the full withdrawal of all forces is currently in progress. With these deployed units returning home, the only South Sunrisian military forces remaining overseas would be the ones currently stationed near USJR and the ones in our country’s bases abroad. Prime Minister Rêc Práter and Supreme Leader Víc Sêrria were both asked on why has South Sunrisia ended its’ operation in Noctaria/Senkaria earlier than planned and the answer was similar to what was said by everybody else before and that was that the mission has been accomplished, main objectives have been met and that the international community will further help the Senkarian people in taking their country back from murderers and terrorists. Without going into too much detail, the authorities have said that some of South Sunrisia’s disagreements with allies over this particular issue have had influence on earlier withdrawal as well, however, hopes were expressed that all disputes would be settled.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Leadership and Government have said that South Sunrisia would continue working with the USA and the international community to help settle the problems that Sunalaya is facing today, including the ongoing unrest in Senkaria. Confidence was expressed that the crisis would not last much longer and that it was approaching a brink of its’ conclusion. Humanitarian and other aid from South Sunrisia would continue flowing under careful moderation to Sunalaya’s hot zones.

The regular Droehawese army wins back the village of Ch'aka and forces wahabite militias to flee

The conflict between the army of General Mezanwari and the militias active in the southwest of the country goes on: the village of Ch'aka, under the control of the wahabite rebels for one month, has been reconquered today thanks to a harsh offensive by the regular army.

The brutal combat caused many victims and many of them are reported to be civilians, a carnage mostly due to the fact that the army wanted to conclude successfully this operation at any cost, this entailed to transform the narrow unpaved streets in the village into an actual battlefield, making impossible not to involve the civilian residents in the conflict.

General Mezanwari celebrated this victory as a turning point, the first cornerstone of the Droehawese revenge after the army had been taken by surprise multiple times by improvised rebel militias, the president also stated that the victims were responsible for their own destiny, having accepted rebels as their governors in place of the legitimate government.

The reconquest of Ch'aka is an important strategic success, it was the main priority for the government since the village is situated directly on the lands around the town of Tahr'amt, location of the natural gas field of the Soviets of Soroknizhenulyagaz, a most important as well as controversial asset for Droehawe.

Despite the enthusiasm of the president, the weakness of the regime is evident and a military victory doesn't change matters: rebel local governments, often based on extremist ideologies, established themselves after the governement left the areas far from the main centres to their own devices following budgetary difficulties, and are now seriously threatening the national unity.

Porshanke Rebuilds, Non-Intervention Policy Announced

After the disastrous mudslides in Porshanke, the community of Porshanke, regional aid workers, and national aid workers are focusing on cleaning the utter devastation. Usually the clean-up efforts of the annual mudslide would be left to the inhabitants of Porshanke and regional aid workers, but this year, with the severity and scope of the mudslides, it has been deemed necessary for national-based assistance. This year national disaster relief workers are working with the community of Porshanke and regional aid workers. Millions of Zanerases are being put into the clean-up and disaster relief effort.

The effort is expected to last for a minimum of four months, but rebuilding could last for more than a year, and mourning for an indeterminate period. Clean-up consists of cleaning the mud and debris, tearing down the damaged houses, and finding the bodies of the deceased. Water and food is being provided for many, and generators and fuel are being given out temporarily for the buildings experiencing a power outage. Gas lines are being inspected, and roads and bridges are being repaired. Much of the mud and debris has been getting cleared relatively quickly, as the inhabitants and regional disaster relief workers are used to do, and a few deceased have been found. Funerals for the deceased are being planned by the community of Porshanke.

The destroyed structures are being cleared away and foundations will be torn up in order to build houses with the new and better design.

The Technocratic State has declared a non-interventionist policy in regards to the Senkarian situation. The Technocratic State will not send armed forces except under special circumstances that will be determined upon their happening, and the response reasoned under the scrutiny of the Reason Party and Military Command. Due to the chaos of the situation, with foreign intervention, possible Bannerless Brotherhood involvement, the possibility of a faction-filled Senkaria, and many possible civilian casualties, it has been ruled that the Technocratic State will not intervene in the Senkarian civil war. The size of the Zanerian armed forces may also have factored into the decision. Public support for an intervention in Senkaria was found to be at 35%, with few in the Reason Party or Military Command willing to execute any kind of larger scale intervention. While many sympathize with the plight of the Senkarians, many Zanerians also believe that too many forces in one region could cause more harm than good. It is generally believed that any hope for diplomatic resolution has been wiped out, and that a fully-blown civil war is under way, with WorldWarWatch even considering the region an 'Oven Zone', or a zone where a very serious conflict is or may be eminent, though this is the conclusion of an organization independent of the Zanerian government, which who's conclusions may, or may not, be taken into consideration. The Technocratic State officially supports neither side of the conflict, or any other faction that may emerge during the course of the severe civil unrest. The Technocratic State does, however, always support a peaceful and reasonable resolution.

North Sunrisian Air Force Escorts Trespassing South Sunrisian Aircraft Out
North Sunrisian and South Sunrisian fighter and bomber jets have another standoff in the skies, after the South Sunrisian Air Force was claimed to have trespassed into the airspace of North Sunrisia

The representatives of the North Sunrisian Liberty Defense Army have reported to the media today that a number of fighter and bomber jets of the South Sunrisian Air Force were caught stealthy trespassing into the airspace of North Sunrisia. The military aircraft from the neighboring country was said not to have infiltrated our country’s skies too deeply and remained close to the bilateral aerial border in order to be able to return to South Sunrisia’s skies at any moment, however, the military saw it as a test of reaction, as well as a provocation from the neighboring country’s side. The North Sunrisian Air Force policing our country’s airspace responded immediately, with a number of fighter and bomber jets rushing over to the zone of infiltration to investigate.

It was reported that the warnings received were true and aircraft from South Sunrisia was indeed caught inside North Sunrisia’s airspace. Our jets were set to have surrounded the foreign aircraft in a certain formation and after a couple of minutes of stand-off and tension, the South Sunrisian jets were said to have returned to their country, thus not forcing our aircraft to take specific measures. The general command has reported that the pilots of the trespassing South Sunrisian jets acted politely as before and promised to return to their country’s airspace immediately, jet some procrastination was still present. Overall, the situation was said to have ended calmly. This is a second close encounter between the air forces of North Sunrisia and South Sunrisia in recent memory, with the events back then having led to the escalation of tensions, as the Harmony Pact was not yet in place.

After the Department of Security had informed the administration of the incident, President Áest Sâlutár had personally come out demanding answer from the South Sunrisian side. This time, the President had hesitated to contact Supreme Leader Víc Sêrria and Prime Minister Rêc Práter by his initiative and wanted his South Sunrisian counterparts to reach out to him first. President Sâlutár stated that this incident has yet again placed the Harmony Pact on thin ice. South Sunrisia has yet to formulate a response.

South Sunrisia Denies Provocation Allegations: Calls Out North Sunrisia For Creating Tension

The command of the South Sunrisian Revolutionary Guardian Army (SSRGA) has given an account to the Ministry of Defense and Force Development on the recent incident between South Sunrisia and North Sunrisia, which involved the air forces of both countries. The other day, the North Sunrisian government has called out our country by demanding an explanation from the Supreme Leadership and Government for the alleged trespassing by the South Sunrisian Air Force into North Sunrisia’s airspace. The accusation was made by the administration of President Áest Sâlutár and was made based on the reports by North Sunrisia’s Department of Security and the country’s military command.

According to the formulized North Sunrisian version of events, a number of jets from the South Sunrisian Air Force have entered the airspace of North Sunrisia illegally, triggering an alert and a responsive maneuver from the North Sunrisian Air Force. Our country’s aircraft was surrounded and after a little bit of intimidation, the South Sunrisian Air Force returned back to our airspace. The Department of Security and the North Sunrisian Liberty Defense Army (NSLDA) reported this version of events to the media and to the administration, forcing the neighboring country’s President to call our the Supreme Leadership and Government in demand of an explanation, stating that the North Sunrisian side would not be the first to reach out and engage in dialogue. The President of North Sunrisia has also said that the Harmony Pact has been placed on “thin ice”.

The South Sunrisian Military has given a different perspective on what had happened and reported it to the Ministry of Defense and Force Development, as mentioned before. Afterwards, the Ministry informed the Supreme Leadership and the Government, while the armed forces were given liberty to independently educate the media on what has actually happened. The command of the SSRGA has said that the South Sunrisian Air Force has indeed received orders to infiltrate the North Sunrisian airspace, but only after having detected North Sunrisian fleets having crossed the maritime boundaries into the territorial waters of South Sunrisia on several occasions, as well as having pulled up some armored vehicles, including tanks, closer to the South Sunrisian border. It was said that ironically, the North Sunrisian Air Force has also stealthily crossed into the airspace of South Sunrisia, before being caught. The South Sunrisian Air Force was tasked to investigate as well as launch some intimidation maneuvers to show that our country would not tolerate disrespect to our sovereign borders.

After the exposure of North Sunrisia as the actual provocateur and the one threatening the Harmony Pact, Prime Minister Rêc Práter has said on the behalf of the Supreme Leadership and Government that South Sunrisia reject North Sunrisian demands, asks that the government of President Áest Sâlutár to stop lying or stop believing the lies of its’ military and calls on North Sunrisia to explain its’ own violations of the Harmony Pact, the international law and of the sovereignty of South Sunrisia. The Prime Minister has said that both – he and Supreme Leader Víc Sêrria will wait for the President of North Sunrisia to contact them and give an explanation on the behalf of the North Sunrisian side.

North Sunrisia Re-Deploys To The Common Border With South Sunrisia
Militarization of North Sunrisian–South Sunrisian border seems to be relaunching, as North Sunrisia mobilizes military forces on land, maritime and aerial borders near South Sunrisia

Today, President Áest Sâlutár has held an urgent special meeting with the National Defense Council and the Department of Security in order to discuss the current unfolding situation between North Sunrisia and South Sunrisia. Diplomatically, the two sides were able to agree that the Harmony Pact, which of them have been claiming to be trying to uphold, has indeed been put at risk, however, the parties remain at odds and continue blaming each other for the escalation.

The administration has openly called out South Sunrisia to explain itself for the violation of our national airspace, to which the Supreme Leadership and Government of the neighboring country had replied with accusations that North Sunrisia was actually violating South Sunrisia’s land, maritime and aerial borders, thus forcing the neighboring country to respond with its’ own violating actions against our sovereignty. No compromise was found yet and until the sides could return to diplomacy, the government of North Sunrisia has taken emergency actions to formulate a necessary response to the current situation. Earlier in the afternoon, the President has addressed the parliament with the request to authorize a small re-deployment of military forces to all of North Sunrisia’s borders shared with South Sunrisia, including land, maritime and aerial. This means that the demilitarization process of the common border under the Harmony Pact would be taking several steps back, as North Sunrisia would bring back the army, the navy and the air forces closer to the borders once again. The legislation authorizing such action has been passed with the majority vote, however, the administration has been way more divided on this particular issue than ever before.

Criticisms had arisen within the government that North Sunrisia is unilaterally violating the Harmony Pact with such moves, naturally putting our country in the wrong. Meanwhile, as the North Sunrisian Military has already made its’ earlier moves and started settling across the border, a harsh response has come from Lucera, with South Sunrisia blaming our country of having officially violated the Harmony Pact for the first time. Nevertheless, the Department of Security and President Áest Sâlutár claim that it is a necessary measure for now.

The Englean Empire Expands!

Starting today, the Englean Reichswehr has begun Operation "Sonne"-the expanding of the nation into the "undeveloped" area that is located just above the nation of Iackstorm. The Kaiser personally approved of the action, stating that "...This action will civilize, develop, and unite the land under the Wings of the Empire." It is believed that the land is rich in resources, such as oil and other raw materials. Others speculate that it is an attempt by the Engleans to "prove their might" militarily to Sunalaya. Imperialism has always been at the heart of Engleberg, ever since its creation, and this action is just a show of it. Half of the land will be annexed, to prevent any violations of international laws that might forbid the total annexation of the land. The annexed area will be renamed "Neu-Königsland" to recognize Kaiser Heinrich I's expanding of Engleberg before the creation of the Englean Empire in 875 AD.

South Sunrisia Deploys Military Forces To All Common Borders With North Sunrisia

By an urgent order from the Supreme Leadership and Government, with support from the Supreme Council and the Consultative Assembly, the South Sunrisian Revolutionary Guardian Army (SSRGA) has been ordered to deploy ground, aerial and naval forces to all common borders with North Sunrisia – ground, waters and the skies. This swift action has been authorized in response to North Sunrisia’s unexpected violation of the Harmony Pact, where the neighboring country has gone back to militarizing its’ side of the South Sunrisian–North Sunrisian border behind the back of our national authorities, therefore, violating the most important terms on which the entire Harmony Pact is based on. As the SSRGA is currently in progress of mobilizing on all borders, the Supreme Leadership and Government are laying severe pressure on the North Sunrisian counterparts. Prime Minister Rêc Práter has said that South Sunrisia is contemplating recalling its’ ambassador from Aestin and “kicking out” the North Sunrisian ambassador from Lucera, as he put it. Additionally, the national authorities are already thinking about harsh economic repercussions against North Sunrisia such sanctions and other severe embargoes. North Sunrisia was called out as a violator of the Harmony Pact and was called out to immediately cease its’ actions.
