Sunrisian Civil Activist Organizations And Sunrisian Intelligence Agency-Controlled Government Agree To Move The Legislative Election Date Up From February To January

Looks like the stalling debate on the possibility of moving up the legislative election in the Nationalist Republic of Sunrisia, has successfully progressed forward and reached its’ conclusion, despite yesterday’s and today’s early reports that the debate has basically collapsed. Various Sunrisian civil activist organizations have reached an agreement during talks with the Sunrisian government run by the country’s intelligence services and partially the military, that Sunrisia should move up the legislative election date from February to January. The overall significance of this legislative election centers around the fact that it would once again bring a legislature back to Sunrisia and re-establish the legislative branch of the government, after the Convet was dissolved by the current Apstérâ administration, formally leaving only the executive branch of the government. This absence of one of the branches of the government does not really act accordingly with the Constitution of the Nationalist Republic of Sunrisia, which is why, all parties involved believe it is part of the national interest to fix it as soon as possible, which is very likely why the deal was reached in these talks.

The activist–government agreement goes in accordance with the sociological research and polls, which have shown growing public support to not draw out the campaign period beyond reasonable necessity and instead move the legislative election date up. To go back to the previous point, by combining together most arguments in favor of such a position, the citizens are basically saying that Sunrisia could not only soon have an elected legislative branch of the government again, but also a restored legislative branch of the Sunrisian government in general, since President and PID Director Fórî Apstérâ dissolved the Convet following the takeover of the presidency by him. This action de facto eliminated or greatly undermined the checks and balances system in the government, as the executive branch of the presidential administration basically took out the legislative branch of the Convet as the country’s parliament. Public support has also grown for replacing the Superior Court of the Nationalist Republic of Sunrisia, seeing to how the current incarnation of the Superior Court has lost trust by being accused of looking the other way from unconstitutional occurrences in Sunrisia, including prior, during and after the political crisis, even if the Superior Court did so unwillingly and felt pressure from the intelligence services and the military, which could be a possibility. It is expected that a new Superior Court would be appointed by the legislative branch of the government in cooperation with the executive branch, after the legislative election, while the current members of the Superior Court would move onto some other functions. Appointing the new Superior Court, is naturally expected to become one of the newer electoral promises that many competing forces in the legislative election campaign would have to add to the list of goals they would achieve, if elected.

At the moment, Sunrisian civil activist organizations and the government are holding talks on settling the question on the specific date of the legislative election in January. The talks are happening at the Presidential Palace mostly, but also at the building of the Convet of the Nationalist Republic of Sunrisia, which has been put out of commission after the legislative branch of the government was dissolved. New updates and details will be reported as soon as they emerge from either government media representatives or the media representatives of the civil activist organizations participating in the talks with the government. To be completely sure, it is best to hear from both, so that there could be confirmation that both sides have reached a definite consensus. That way, Sunrisia could finally get ready for the legislative election at a specific day.

Does The Proposed Oblaren–Vesvai Union Have A Future?

Vesvai-designed variant of the flag of the proposed Oblaren–Vesvai Union

The conversation keeps going in the Dominion of Vesvai about the proposed Oblaren–Vesvai Union. Vesvai’s government remains a strong enthusiast of it and supposedly has a number of road maps written about how a union between the nations could be achieved. That includes options of how kind of a union it could be overall. The problem is that enthusiasm towards the union is alive in Vesvai but no such enthusiasm is being heard from Oblaren. That is obviously a necessity because the union can only exist if both Vesvai and Oblaren are interested in it. Vesvai was the initiator of a closer personal integration with Oblaren and hoped that the nation would eventually show the same interest. According to Vesvai’s officials Oblaren has not said no, but has not said a firm yes either. It seems that the question is not a political priority for Oblaren right now. But Vesvai has also made it clear it doesn’t want to pressure Oblaren into a union. For it to happen and remain the union must have interest and consent for both. If Vesvai keeps pushing forward then Oblaren might feel alienated and eventually rejected the idea completely, according to Vesvai’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Nicholas Vicina.

Vesvai’s Prime Minister Jonathan Mollisal supports a union with Oblaren if Oblaren agrees to it. The ruling VHU party shares the same stance as the PM. Vesvai’s Governor-General Andrew Gaileta is more reluctant because he’s concerned about how it would affect Vesvai’s position in the Rhodeve Commonwealth. He called upon the ruling party to have that in mind instead of stretching Vesvai more thin in many incompatible directions. PM Jonathan Mollisal claims there’s a road map where Vesvai and Oblaren are in a federated union and Commonwealth membership would only include Vesvai’s part of the union. Queen Diana Wolff would remain only the monarch of Vesvai’s part of the union if it were to be formed. But other issues like common currency and other things is something that Vesvai’s government feels could work with Oblaren. Vesvai’s national currency is Obliv and it is only used in the Dominion of Vesvai. The southern neighbor New Vesvai has its own Obliv but that’s irrelevant to the debate. Point is that Vesvai is not tied to any common currency with Commonwealth or ROVAA members. Same appears to be for Oblaren which also uses its own currency and does not participate in having a common currency with any alliances it’s part of. By being two nations with common currencies Vesvai and Oblaren can debate the creation of a shared currency only between them both. Today Vesvai’s Parliament proposed offering Oblaren a customs union between Vesvai and Oblaren as a step that could either be related or not to integration between both nations. There would need to be an inter-government dialogue on how far Vesvai and Oblaren would be willing to go in their personal integration.

North Baggnagia attacks Neodvisni exclave, South Baggnagian Protection Army ordered to move against North Baggnagia

NORTH BAGGNAGIA/SOUTH BAGGNAGIA BORDER – Alert! If you’re just joining us now we regret to inform that South Baggnagia has come under an aggressor’s attack. The North Baggnagian Holy Army has invaded the South Baggnagian exclave of Neodvisni, our nation’s most sensitive and vulnerable spot. North Baggnagian land forces had moved against Neodvisni after a several-hour land blockade. During that moment the North Baggnagian forces had started a land and aerial mobilization. As soon as the blockade started the Military Council of South Baggnagia asked its diplomats to get answers from the North Baggnagian leadership. All they got was silence. The tone was raised to a harsher one after the mobilization of North Baggnagian forces around Neodvisni began. The diplomats were once again instructed to reach out to the North Baggnagians and get answers. Like the first time the South Baggnagian diplomats were ignored. At that moment the Military Council realized that things were serious and North Baggnagia was no longer playing.

When North Baggnagia began its blockade and resumed mobilization around Neodvisni, the Military Council directly ordered to put the South Baggnagian Protection Army on alert. When the expectation of possible violent military action started the Military Council then ordered to begin a South Baggnagian mobilization. South Baggnagian forces in Neodvisni were ordered to defend themselves and the city if they were to come under attack. Regrettably they did come under attack. As soon as the South Baggnagian troops were hit they jumped to the defense of Neodvisni. But some took cover long enough to inform the mainland that they got hit. Afterwards they returned to battle. The news has been difficult to take in. The exclave of Neodvisni was always seen as the most vulnerable spot of South Baggnagia. If any territory of South Baggnagia were to get attacked it would be Neodvisni. And yet during numerous North and South Baggnagian clashes the North Baggnagian Holy Army focused on attacking the mainland. Attacking just Neodvisni was risky because South Baggnagia always made it clear that it would justify an invasion into North Baggnagia to create a land corridor that would connect the vulnerable Neodvisni with the mainland. North Baggnagia never took that risk of just isolating Neodvisni and attacking it. Today North Baggnagia has made that move. The attack comes just days after Lt. General Radoslav Meier warned North Baggnagian leader Marshal Jan Tillich to not even think about touching Neodvisni. The warning was part of a long-standing South Baggnagian policy of deterring a North Baggnagian attack on Neodvisni so it wasn’t anything out of the ordinary. But it might have hit a nerve in North Baggnagia and Marshal Jan Tillich may have decided to test the South. It almost looks like the attack was launched partially out of spite.

Lt. General Radoslav Meier announced the start of a South Baggnagian invasion into North Baggnagia ordered by the Military Council of South Baggnagia. Meier announced this order as the Chairman of the Military Council. The South Baggnagian Protection Army would mobilize and launch a land invasion into North Baggnagia to reach the invaded Neodvisni exclave. The objectives are to reinforce Neodvisni, help protect it and also form a land corridor from South Baggnagia into Neodvisni. The land corridor would be formed out of territory of North Baggnagia that will be occupied during the invasion. The land operation will be supported by the South Baggnagian Air Force from behind. It will be determined later if the navy will play any role. The invasion will be led by the troops that were stationed near the North Baggnagian border. The operation will see participation only from professional troops but no conscripts will be involved as long as the South Baggnagian Protection Army has enough personnel to withstand.

Southern collaborator aggressors invade Motherland, North Baggnagian Holy Army responds in defense

NORTH BAGGNAGIA/SOUTH BAGGNAGIA BORDER – The forces of the South have brought war to the Motherland. The South’s collaborator forces have invaded North Baggnagia by marching across the border. The Border Patrol of the Glorious Nation of North Baggnagia was forced to evacuate at this act of aggression. The forces of the North Baggnagian Holy Army stationed at the border were forced to take the first hit. The Brave Troops have stood in defense and are still standing. The Army Commanders on site say that the South’s aircraft and land forces have marched into North Baggnagia with an invasion. They are seemingly trying to push north. The Capital Silcenda is in danger. His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich has addressed the Nation. As the National Leader and Holy Commander of the North Baggnagian Holy Army the Great Leader has declared mobilization. His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich called upon the Soldiers of the North Baggnagian Holy Army to gather up and counter-attack the invader. The Great Leader declared that the South’s aggression has made the cease-fire deal irrelevant. Now the North Baggnagian Holy Army has free reign to defend itself and counter-attack. The counter-attack means that the North Baggnagian Holy Army has the right to march into the South and liberate it from the aggressive collaborationist imperialist puppet authority. The North Baggnagian Holy Army has been given permission by His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich to bring about a reunification of Baggnagian land that has been long time coming. The Great Leader declared it a Holy War of Baggnagian Reunification that all Baggnagians have been preparing for ever since being forced to split up. His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich ordered the North Baggnagian Holy Army to also destroy the cancer that is the Neodvisni exclave. It is the Neodvisni exclave of the South that began the aggression against North Baggnagia. It forced the North Baggnagian Holy Army to respond. The rightful attack on Neodvisni in self-defense gave the South an excuse to attack North Baggnagia from across the border. The Great Leader called for the destruction of all enemies. If the North Baggnagian Holy Army impossibly feels out of manpower on the field His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich warned that there will be an all-Baggnagian and all-citizen mobilization. It means all Baggnagians will be called upon to carry out their duty and join the Holy War of Baggnagian Reunification. The North Baggnagian people have committed to follow His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich to victory. HORRAY FOR BAGGNAGIA! HORRAY FOR REUNIFICATION! DEATH TO THE ENEMY!

Sunrisia Imposes A Full Embargo On North Baggnagia, Excluding Humanitarian Exports To The Country

President and PID Director Fórî Apstérâ has signed a Decree, authorizing the promotion of existing sanctions on North Baggnagia to a full embargo. It now prohibits and any and all trade or contacts with North Baggnagia, with the sole exception of Sunrisian humanitarian exports to that country. The response in support of this particular kind of an embargo from the Apstérâ administration, was presented as a goal to undermine the capabilities of the North Baggnagian state and the North Baggnagian regime in control of it, but not to harm the North Baggnagian people as much as possible, because they are not the enemy of Sunrisia, but rather hostages of the dictatorship. Due to the absence of the Convet, the President did not require the approval or ratification from the legislature to impose the embargo. Instead, it went into effect just with his Presidential Decree, although that kind of state of things would not stay in Sunrisia for long, once the legislative election finally happens.

The embargo on North Baggnagia has been imposed in response to the attack by the regime’s forces on the Neodvisni exclave of South Baggnagia, a strategically-vulnerable area surrounded entirely by North Baggnagia. This forced South Baggnagia to launch a military invasion of North Baggnagia in order to physically reach the cut off exclave and create a land corridor on the way from the territory that the South Baggnagian armed forces occupy. In the meantime, the state propaganda of North Baggnagia presented its’ own version of South Baggnagia launching random attacks from the Neodvisni exclave, which gave the regime an excuse to have its’ forces attack the exclave of the southern neighboring country. In addition, the North Baggnagian regime has declare the mythological-like “Holy War of Baggnagian Reunification”, which encompasses an invasion of South Baggnagia by North Baggnagia and a forceful reunification of both countries under the North’s flag and the North’s regime. The North Baggnagian propaganda has talked about this “Holy War” and about the eventual reunification many times, so them jumping towards fulfing this plan appears too convenient, only reinforcing the idea that North Baggnagia was looking for an excuse to “legally” invade and occupy South Baggnagia.

Back at the Presidential Palace, Orentan, National Defense Consultant Mústêll Cónsîla announced that President Fórî Apstérâ has called up a National Defense Council meeting to discuss the most recent Baggnagian escalation, which might be the most serious one yet out of all previous ones. The embargo was imposed by the Apstérâ administration without a National Defense Council meeting, although, the President did consult with his administration and cabinet members like National Defense Consultant Mústêll Cónsîla, Minister of Industry, Trade and Commerce of the Nationalist Republic of Sunrisia – Absítâ Sépârátĕr, and Emissary for Adversary Exchanges of the Nationalist Republic of Sunrisia – Cálêr Ustrīnâ, before authorizing the embargo. However, that is only step 1.

Prior to the beginning of the National Defense Council meeting, Minister of Security of the Nationalist Republic of Sunrisia – Rêbór Acértâ, said that commander-in-chief President Apstérâ was already ready to authorize the mobilization of the Sunrisian Defense Force (SDF) to intervene in the current Baggnagian armed confrontation on South Baggnagia’s side, due to Sunrisia being obliged to defend South Baggnagia under the Mutual Defense Treaty (Sunrisia–South Baggnagia), as well as because North Baggnagia is attacking the Neodvisni exclave, which has Sunrisian soldiers stationed there, who need to be reinforced. The same goes for Sunrisian forces stationed in mainland South Baggnagia, who will also need reinforcement, if North Baggnagia invades. The National Defense Council meeting will begin soon, so until it concludes and official announcements are given, we will not know anything. However, Minister of Security of the Nationalist Republic of Sunrisia – Rêbór Acértâ, said that South Baggnagia will need to formally approve Sunrisian military intervention on their side, including additional deployments to their country, before Sunrisia can do anything.

• Apstérâ administration ends defensive deployment of the Sunrisian Naval Forces along the entire Sunrisian coastline, after the Sunrisian Defense Force (SDF) declares a decrease of the national security threat level. There is belief that some of those warships could be deploy as a fleet in the Ventismarian direction over the Baggnagian conflict.

South Baggnagian forces push north, North Baggnagian forces advance south

NORTH BAGGNAGIA/SOUTH BAGGNAGIA BORDER – Military commanders are giving fresh updates to the Military Council of South Baggnagia and the Military Council is sending the info to the public. Right now we know that the South Baggnagian Protection Army is successfully pushing in the northern direction. The forces are on North Baggnagian soil. They are continuing the movement in the northern direction with the goal of reaching the centre-most part of North Baggnagia more to the east. That is where the South Baggnagian exclave of Neodvisni is located which is under the attack of North Baggnagia. The South Baggnagian Protection Army’s objective is to reach the exclave, reinforce and overall help protect it from a North Baggnagian invasion. That is still South Baggnagian land being attacked by a foreign power even if it is separated from the rest of the nation. On the way to the Neodvisni exclave the additional objective of the military is to form a land corridor along the way by occupying land in the middle of military action. The Military Council of South Baggnagia claimed there’s no goal of annexing North Baggnagian land stretching from mainland South Baggnagia to Neodvisni exclave. But the South Baggnagian forces have to occupy that land because North Baggnagia can’t guarantee it wouldn’t attack Neodvisni again. The South Baggnagian Air Force is supporting the land forces in their advance. If North Baggnagian forces are seen attacking they come under an air strike from South Baggnagian aircraft. That way a path is cleared for the South Baggnagian forces to march forward. On South Baggnagian side the North Baggnagian Holy Army is unfortunately also making gains. The enemy forces have fought past several border checkpoints and assaulted the Joint Security Areas to march past. They are now advancing south while the South Baggnagian Protection Army at home is trying to keep them back. Because South Baggnagia has been invaded the Military Council has approved Sunrisian offer to help South Baggnagia defend against the invasion under the defense treaty. The Military Council promises not to allow North Baggnagia to take over South Baggnagia like their leadership threatened to do in their Holy War of Baggnagian Reunification they promised.

BREAKING NEWS

Sunrisian Defense Force (SDF) Intervenes In The Baggnagian Conflict In Support Of South Baggnagia

LIVE BROADCAST

After yesterday’s imposition of an embargo on North Baggnagia, President and PID Director Fórî Apstérâ has today announced that his administration has ordered the Sunrisian Defense Force (SDF) to intervene in the escalating Baggnagian conflict on South Baggnagia’s side. The decision was made following an emergency National Defense Council meeting, regarding Sunrisian response to North Baggnagian actions against Sunrisia’s ally. The decision that was finally made, was the one that many had predicted. Sunrisia would be fulfilling its’ the Mutual Defense Treaty (Sunrisia–South Baggnagia). According to the President himself, a direct military response to North Baggnagia has been triggered by the unprovoked attack of the regime’s forces on South Baggnagia’s exclave of Neodvisni, a vulnerable South Baggnagian territory cut off from the rest of the country and surrounded entirely by North Baggnagia from all sides, including making it more exposed to being blockaded or attacked, which North Baggnagia has done both of. An attack on the Neodvisni exclave is an attack on South Baggnagia, which is why Sunrisia has to respond by acting in the allied country’s defense under the treaty. The administration’s decision was only advanced further by today’s escalation of North Baggnagian attacks with a direct invasion of mainland South Baggnagia itself, which makes Sunrisia even more required to defend the country. Simultaneously to this action, the North Baggnagian state media is now also talking about the “Holy War of Baggnagian Reunification”, which openly reveals the regime’s plans to stop waiting and finally go for that attempt to occupy and annex the southern neighbor.

On top of all these threats to South Baggnagian security, Sunrisians are also involved. There are the service personnel of Sunrisian Army – Neodvisni (SAN) stationed in the exclave of Neodvisni, who have come under a direct attack by North Baggnagian forces. The soldiers there were immediately given orders to defend themselves. The same has gone out to SAN’s parent command which is responsible for all of Sunrisian Military in South Baggnagia – Sunrisian Forces – South Baggnagia (SFSB), as well as the Sunrisian part of the Joint Task Force (JTF) shared with South Baggnagia, who have all been ordered to defend themselves as well, if North Baggnagian forces attack South Baggnagia by marching across the border. The Department of Security of the Nationalist Republic of Sunrisia has revealed that reinforcements were already being sent yesterday and all available forces from that part of the world were being aimed at that direction, so that they could immediately reinforce Sunrisian soldiers in SAN, SFSB and JTF. Formally, Sunrisia needed open consent from South Baggnagia before our forces could immediately jump in and act on South Baggnagian territory in order to immediately reinforce our soldiers already there. They were reluctant, but were ready to even act preemptively, if South Baggnagia took time with its’ response, which might have broken the protocol, trust and partially violated South Baggnagian sovereignty, but the military personnel and their commanders are openly admitting they would have been willing to do so. According to the Sunrisian government, however, the Military Council of South Baggnagia fortunately did not take long to respond.

The military forces being sent over are the fastest-moving Rapid Reaction Units (RRU), designed for immediate reactionary deployment, while heavier reinforcements were mobilizing and preparing to arrive in their support. As Commander of Sunrisian Forces – South Baggnagia (SFSB), who has just recently assumed the position of a third person to be the SFSB Commander, General Térsâ Nītádĕr, will reportedly command the entire Sunrisian operation in this conflict, however, there will be additional commanders arriving to help command the additionally-deployed Sunrisian forces from outside SFSB and JTF. General Nītádĕr said that Sunrisia’s objectives are primarily focused on defending South Baggnagia, but also protecting Sunrisian personnel under enemy attack, which means that a counter-invasion of North Baggnagia to reach Neodvisni is a likely method. This would include joining South Baggnagian forces in forming a land corridor to connect mainland South Baggnagia and Neodvisni via land occupied from North Baggnagia. General Nītádĕr did not rule out that some of the additional orders might include targeting the North Baggnagian regime itself, if necessary, but that is not a priority in the mission.

Meanwhile, President and PID Director Fórî Apstérâ said that Sunrisian intelligence would help South Baggnagian and Sunrisian forces, by concentrating their own power and abilities, in order to target the North Baggnagian leadership, including with the intent of ousting it, if necessary. When responding to concerns that it might create a dangerous power vacuum in a middle of an active military confrontation, President Apstérâ said that it had already been taken into account with all other possibilities and outcomes, which is why any regime change-related activity would not be pulled off roughly, with no back-up plan. Stay tuned, as we continue the coverage.

His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich denounces Sunrisian imperialist aggression

NORTH BAGGNAGIA; NORTH BAGGNAGIA/SOUTH BAGGNAGIA BORDER; SOUTH BAGGNAGIA – National Leader and Holy Commander of the North Baggnagian Holy Army, the Great Leader: His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich has taken a strong stance against the Homeland’s enemies. The Great Leader denounced aggression against North Baggnagia by the Sunrisian imperialists who have intervened militarily on behalf of their Southern puppets yesterday. The blood-thirsty imperialists are attempting to secure their occupation of Baggnagian south and prevent a Baggnagian reunification that would make the Baggnagian nation rise up and be strong again. The imperialists are trying to keep control over the region by keeping the region’s states weak, Baggnagian nation included. They have even declared yesterday that they are seeking to destroy North Baggnagia. The Sunrisian imperialists will seek to harm and depower His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich and the Great Leader’s Leadership. The Sunrisians want to dominate not just the occupied south but all of Baggnagia by helping their Southern puppets take over all of Baggnagian land with the North included. They want to harm and dethrone His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich as the Last True National Leader of All Baggnagians and the Last True Defender of the Baggnagian Nation and Its Independence. The Great Leader declared that what is happening now is more serious than any other crises that have happened before. His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich has called upon all Baggnagians to join the Holy War of Baggnagian Reunification and a Holy War against Imperialism on top of it. This is a Decisive Moment in Baggnagian history. The People must follow His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich to victory!

His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich praised the North Baggnagian Holy Army for their successful advance into enemy territory. That includes the cancerous tumor that is Neodvisni and also the imperialist occupied South itself. The Great Leader ordered to keep moving. The North Baggnagian Holy Army was told to kill all Southern forces, imperialist forces and other enemies of Baggnagian reunification without mercy. Take no prisoners said the Great Leader as they are a waste of space and oxygen for their perverted anti-Baggnagian beliefs. They can’t be saved. His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich has also ordered to kill all possible traitors in the North Baggnagian Holy Army. If there are any troops that dare to surrender to the enemy or back away from the Holy War they are to be dealt with on the spot just like Southerners and the imperialists. The possible traitors are no better than the enemy and are to be treated as such even if they pretend not to be the enemy of Baggnagia. Baggnagian People are celebrating His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich and his Brave Leadership. They know that the Great Leader is the only Being on this planet that will bring victory for the Baggnagian people. They all understand that right now is a historic moment in Baggnagian history and a chance for reunification that Baggnagia might not get again or not at a very long time. Baggnagia must cease this moment and withstand all enemies in her way. The Holy War must be won!

South Baggnagia welcomes awaited Sunrisian military help against North Baggnagia

NORTH BAGGNAGIA; NORTH BAGGNAGIA/SOUTH BAGGNAGIA BORDER; SOUTH BAGGNAGIA – Military Council of South Baggnagia has welcomed military help from ally Sunrisia that have come to fulfill their defense alliance obligations. Sunrisian Defense Force (SDF) has arrived to help the South Baggnagian Protection Army defend South Baggnagia against a North Baggnagian invasion. North Baggnagian Holy Army attacked Neodvisni and the exclave continues to come under attack. North Baggnagian Holy Army has also invaded mainland South Baggnagia and continues advancing south. The treaty says that Sunrisia must help protect South Baggnagia in these kinds of situations. Military Council of South Baggnagia reminded that Sunrisian forces stationed in mainland South Baggnagia are obligated to defend mainland South Baggnagia and Sunrisian army stationed in Neodvisni is obliged to defend the exclave that they are in. Lt. General Radoslav Meier said that Sunrisian forces who were here before reinforcements came had put up a good fight from the start and did not disappoint. Right now Sunrisia needs to help South Baggnagia on two separated fronts. But the South Baggnagian Protection Army has been doing everything to make sure that those two separated fronts are connected. South Baggnagian troops are advancing north in their invasion of North Baggnagia trying to form a land corridor from land occupied along the way that would connect mainland South Baggnagia and Neodvisni.

Reinforcements that Sunrisia is sending are here to help their own stationed forces in Sunrisian defense of South Baggnagia and also in helping South Baggnagian forces in defending from North Baggnagia. But obviously their government has declared that they are also here to defend Sunrisian personnel they have based in South Baggnagia. Generals of the South Baggnagian Protection Army told their Sunrisian colleagues like General Térsâ Nītádĕr (Head of Sunrisian forces in South Baggnagia) and lower-rank military commanders that Sunrisian army may have to consider joining South Baggnagian forces in invading North Baggnagia. Sunrisians would have to help form a land corridor between South Baggnagia and Neodvisni. That is how they can reach Neodvisni where their own country’s troops are present and are coming under attack with everyone else. Lt. General Radoslav Meier said that Sunrisian President Fórî Apstérâ declared a mainland-Neodvisni land corridor as part of their nation’s plan and military strategy here. So allied forces will probably join together in pushing towards Neodvisni. Military Council of South Baggnagia informed the Sunrisian government that it wouldn’t mind at all if Sunrisian intelligence agencies actually figured out a plan how to depose Marshal Jan Tillich. But only if there is a clear strategy and a dangerous power vacuum wouldn’t be left. Lt. General Radoslav Meier shut down conspiracies in front of South Baggnagian press. He said that Sunrisian forces were already fighting in South Baggnagia before the Military Council publicly accepted Sunrisian help. But that is not seen as a sovereignty issue because the treaty gives defense alliance partners more freedom of movement on their territory. So far only Sunrisia had a reason and a chance to make itself at home in South Baggnagia. The troops of South Baggnagia have only been taken to Sunrisia once in the past by Sunrisians themselves to have those troops train in Sunrisian bases. They were there on a guest’s status while Sunrisia acts more like a bodyguard that appears from behind the corner sometimes even before you could react.

Sunrisia Formally Declares War On North Baggnagia

President and PID Director Fórî Apstérâ has signed a decree that formally issues a Declaration of War on North Baggnagia by the Nationalist Republic of Sunrisia. With the absence of legislature, the President has taken over the power and ability to declare war, because his administration’s branch of the government – the executive one, is the only functioning one, with exception to the Superior Court. At first, the President’s Declaration of War on North Baggnagia was announced by Aûra Erémítâ, New Media Representative for the Administration of the President. The public demand was for a higher-ranking government representative make the announcement. The actual call was for President Fórî Apstérâ to make the announcement himself, however, a second government representative was brought out to announce the Declaration of War on North Baggnagia and that was – National Defense Consultant Mústêll Cónsîla. However, the public still wanted to hear from the commander-in-chief.

Eventually, President Fórî Apstérâ came out himself and announced that he had signed a decree authorizing a formal Declaration of War on North Baggnagia by the Nationalist Republic of Sunrisia. The President support his action by stating:

“The formal Declaration of War on North Baggnagia by the Nationalist Republic of Sunrisia is needed to give our soldiers the legal basis for unconventional methods of warfare aimed at combating our adversary. In this case, it is North Baggnagia. We cannot have the Sunrisian Defense Force (SDF) enter the territory of North Baggnagia, because it would be an illegal invasion, aggression of violation of sovereignty of North Baggnagia. However, our forces need access to North Baggnagian territory to reach South Baggnagian exclave of Neodvisni. It is separated from South Baggnagia by North Baggnagian territory and the North Baggnagian regime will definitely let us pass. They will stand in our way, while they will continue deploying their own invasion forces into South Baggnagia, which we will also be fighting in South Baggnagia. Moreover, while standing in our way, North Baggnagia will continue its’ assault on Neodvisni, attacking innocent people there, South Baggnagian soldiers there and our own soldiers there. We must reach them and help them and that means we would have to into North Baggnagian territory, whether the regime allows us to or not. General Térsâ Nītádĕr contacted me today and said that this needs to be done. Which is why I have signed this decree and I hereby Declare War on North Baggnagia on behalf of the Nationalist Republic of Sunrisia.”

Various Sunrisian civil activist organizations, which had negotiated with the current government de facto controlled by intelligence services and the military, have gotten together and expressed concern regarding the government’s actions. Times are confusing in Sunrisia right now, because the country is at war overseas and has been for nearly 4 days already. However, only today, a formal Declaration of War on North Baggnagia has been made, which either means that things are going to be taken to the next level or that the Sunrisian government is now trying to judicially legitimatize interventions into North Baggnagian territory, which may or may not have happened already in the past days. Members of the aforementioned civil activist organizations said that they were thinking about everybody, who is in South Baggnagia and North Baggnagia right now. Concern for the events there has also been expressed by Sunrisian NGOs, such as – The White Dove (WD), Harmony League (HL) and Liberty Conglomerate (LC), have also announced that they are watching what is happening in South Baggnagia and North Baggnagia, and want to help in their own ways over there, based on the specific functions of their organizations.

Other civil activist organizations are reaching out to the Superior Court of the Nationalist Republic of Sunrisia and are bringing up the so-called “Elephant in the Room” by publicly raising a question if the current government is not engaged in an abuse of power and a violation of the Constitution. Specifically, they are pointing fingers at the fact that 1 man – President Fórî Apstérâ, not even an elected President and also the Director of the Prime Intelligence Division (PID), the leading intelligence agency in Sunrisia, can single-handedly declare war on the country’s behalf. The active citizens are concerned for the separation of powers and “checks and balances” system. They have brought out that concern before and are doing it again.

One activist stated:

“I do not support the regime in North Baggnagia. They are a tyrannical dictatorship. However, we are pointing out that we do not see it as legitimate for an unelected President to declare war like that. He was pushing it by signing those decrees, which in absence of the Convet, have replaced the procedure of passing parliamentary legislations which would turn into laws. We do not think the Superior Court hears us either, so things need to change. We are suspicious of what we see.”

Another activist also briefly shared his opinion:

“It is good that we had reached a deal with the government to push up the legislative election date from February to January. We need our legislature back and we also need an elected legislature. That will be start of bringing things over into legitimate channels and have the Constitution of the Nationalist Republic of Sunrisia be respected again.”

His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich Declares War on imperialist Sunrisia

NORTH BAGGNAGIA; NORTH BAGGNAGIA/SOUTH BAGGNAGIA BORDER; SOUTH BAGGNAGIA – National Leader and Holy Commander of the North Baggnagian Holy Army, the Great Leader: His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich has Declared War on imperialist Sunrisia. This was the Great Leader’s Masterful Response to aggression from imperialist Sunrisia who had declared war on the Glorious Nation of North Baggnagia. His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich says that this is now definitely a Day of Reckoning. Like the Prophesy has promised the North Baggnagian Holy Army would one day go about against the imperialists in a Holy War of Baggnagian Reunification. The North Baggnagian Holy Army would face off against the Southern puppet forces and against the imperialists behind their backs. The battle is going in full speed and intensity between the North Baggnagian Holy Army and the Southern forces. The imperialists have been involved for several days too but only now have they dared to declare war. This is a sign that the imperialists have seen the power of the North Baggnagian Holy Army. They are frightened and they have been amazed. But now the imperialists will try to make a final attempt at trying to quash the Baggnagian war of independence and reunification. His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich has called up all Baggnagians from North and South to join the Holy War of Baggnagian Reunification on the side of the North Baggnagian Holy Army. This is one chance to win the Holy War from the prophecy, defeat the imperialists, liberate Baggnagian land and make the Nation One Again.

Mirroring imperialists His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich fought fire with fire. The Great Leader threw back into imperialist faces what the imperialists attempted to throw in Baggnagian direction. National Leader and Holy Commander of the North Baggnagian Holy Army, the Great Leader: His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich signed an Executive Order. By this Executive Order the Glorious Nation of North Baggnagia has Declared War on imperialist Sunrisia. The North Baggnagian Holy Army from now on will do everything to drive the imperialists out of Baggnagian land. Once Baggnagia is whole again without imperialists and traitors that helped the imperialists reunified Glorious Nation of Baggnagia will be ready to fight imperialist Sunrisia further. If Baggnagia feels that imperialist Sunrisia still creates danger for security of the Glorious Nation of Baggnagia His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich will lead the Glorious Nation into battle with imperialists on other fronts. United Baggnagian Forces now all together led by National Leader and Holy Commander of the Future United Baggnagian Holy Army, the Great Leader: His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich will lead the Glorious Nation in a fearless fight to destroy the imperialists. Baggnagia will now fear to take on the imperialists in their homes too. The imperialists brought war to Baggnagia and the same will be brought to the imperialists in revenge. The North Baggnagian Holy Army and the Future United Baggnagian Holy Army will have all power necessary to destroy imperialist Sunrisia and that strength, courage and overall power will be given to the North Baggnagian Holy Army and the Future United Baggnagian Holy Army by the Greatness of National Leader and Holy Commander of the Future United Baggnagian Holy Army, the Great Leader: His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich. A’OO!

[South Baggnagia]

Surprise! South Baggnagian Protection Army says North Baggnagian forces have been massively surrendering in the battlefield

NORTH BAGGNAGIA; NORTH BAGGNAGIA/SOUTH BAGGNAGIA BORDER; SOUTH BAGGNAGIA – South Baggnagian and Sunrisian allied forces have been winning the fight. This afternoon North Baggnagian leader Marshal Jan Tillich has declared war on Sunrisia. It was his leadership’s response to the Sunrisian declaration of war on North Baggnagia. Marshal Jan Tillich did not bother to declare war on South Baggnagia because he clearly perceives the South as a Sunrisian puppet. To his leadership South Baggnagia is not a legit separate state to declare war on but part of Baggnagia run by him and which was torn off by Sunrisia. In his twisted worldview Marshal Jan Tillich says that his actions are not military aggression against another state but Baggnagia under his leadership trying to reinstate control over a southern half occupied by Sunrisia. This sort of twisted simplification or outright lie makes it easier to justify what you are doing and present yourself as the correct side in this conflict. It is difficult to say whether Marshal Jan Tillich only uses this propaganda to rally North Baggnagians behind him while masking his evil schemes or does he genuinely believe what he’s saying. Who knows?

The declaration of war left a lot to expect. South Baggnagian Protection Army did not underestimate the enemy and was ready for an ambush or a new powerful wave to come down from North Baggnagia. South Baggnagian troops warned their Sunrisian colleagues to be on the lookout too. That wave did come down on South Baggnagia but it didn’t hold long. North Baggnagian Holy Army was not motivated by Marshal Jan Tillich like their national leader may have expected. North Baggnagian troops soon started massively surrendering to allied forces instead of fighting. It was almost as if they were fleeing their own nation into the South. They were taken in as prisoners. Lt. General Radoslav Meier, Chairman of the Military Council of South Baggnagia, said that the South Baggnagian Protection Army has been ordered to take future surrendered North Baggnagian troops as prisoners. North Baggnagian leader Marshal Jan Tillich ordered his army to kill any possible traitors in the field. He didn’t publicly explain what he defined as a traitor and what they had to do to be considered one. That is why the allied forces have to take the chance that surrendering to the enemy is betrayal. North Baggnagian troops probably understand that too but they are surrendering anyway. So now it is the allied forces job to protect these surrendering North Baggnagian troops from their own team by taking those surrendered prisoner. A POW status is where they will be safest. But not only did Marshal Jan Tillich not allow any North Baggnagian troops to become prisoners but he also ordered North Baggnagian troops to not take any prisoners themselves. So now there is a double objective to the South Baggnagian Protection Army to not only help surrendering North Baggnagian troops into safety by taking them prisoner. South Baggnagian Protection Army must also rush into the field to help gather any injured South Baggnagian and Sunrisian troops and pull them to safety before North Baggnagian troops can execute them on the spot. The military has to think fast and try to successfully accomplish those side-missions almost at the same time.

In capital Jugac the Military Council of South Baggnagia is analyzing the situation. They are coming towards a positive conclusion that the present power balance in this conflict has switch in favor of allied forces. If the North Baggnagian Protection Army keeps massively surrendering then more lives will be saved and less fighting need to be done. The allied forces will have freedom to push north towards Neodvisni and successfully shield it from North Baggnagian assault. The attacking enemy forces will be driven away by the effort of both allied militaries. So far success is predicted.

[Sunrisia]

Sunrisia Sends Attack Helicopters And Fighter Jets In The Direction Of North Baggnagia, Including Its’ Capital Silcenda

The mass surrender of the soldiers of the North Baggnagian Holy Army over at the Baggnagian front, has opened new strategic opportunities in the ongoing fight, according to the Sunrisian Defense Force (SDF). Those kind of reports from South Baggnagia were met with optimistic hopefulness in the Department of International Relations of the Nationalist Republic of Sunrisia. Meanwhile, the administration of President Fórî Apstérâ and simultaneously the Prime Intelligence Division (PID), as well as other Sunrisian intelligence services, have met the reports with enthusiasm. The military command is eyeing the opportunity of opening an aerial front to gain access to enemy territory, which is why, the Sunrisian Air Force was deployed with several fighter jets and attack helicopters, heading for the direction of North Baggnagia. According to General Térsâ Nītádĕr, who now additionally acts as the head commander of Sunrisia’s mission in the current Baggnagian conflict along with his past functions, claims that this deployment will seek to primarily access the North Baggnagian national capital – Silcenda. A promise has been given that the military will not target civilians or attack the city itself. However, the movement of this aerial deployment in the direction of the North Baggnagian capital city in particular, is indeed explained by the fact that the North Baggnagian dictatorship is located there and operates from there. South Baggnagian sources have confirmed this to Sunrisian counterparts in our coordination.

President and PID Director Fórî Apstérâ explained that PID and the Sunrisian intelligence community currently have several plans on the table on how to deal with the North Baggnagian regime, which have been set in motion since Sunrisia formally declared war on North Baggnagia. Prior to that, they were only “in a vault”, but they have now all been “pulled out” and Sunrisia is now trying to implement them and bring them to reality. The Apstérâ administration states that the fast successful implementation of either of these plans, not to mention all of them, should help end the war sooner. As the armed conflict continues, President Apstérâ is regularly exchanging phone calls with Lieutenant General Radoslav Meier, Chairman of the Military Council of the Democratic Republic of South Baggnagia, as part of coordinating all efforts between the countries in their joint fight against North Baggnagia. The Apstérâ administration wants to keep the South Baggnagian military government aware of all plans, including ones aimed at the North Baggnagian regime, so that there are not any misunderstandings or disagreements on how to handle whoever is in charge of the North Baggnagian territory at this time. Aûra Erémítâ, Media Representative for the Administration of the President of the Nationalist Republic of Sunrisia, says that the Apstérâ administration does not want to go into many details on the planning Sunrisia currently has for the North Baggnagian regime. However, by observing the maneuvers of the Sunrisian Military, conspiracy theorists and military strategists are putting forward their own scenarios of what could happen.

In Sunrisia itself, in absence of a Vice President or the legislature, the government had no representative to send in order to speak with the representatives of the Sunrisian civil activist organizations, who had raised concerns about the abuse of power, regarding the President’s individual Declaration of War on North Baggnagia and the absence of a “checks and balances” order of things in the current Sunrisian government largely controlled by the country’s intelligence services and the military. It is possible that President Fórî Apstérâ may have to move away from heading the war effort in the far-away Baggnagian front and personally speak with the concerned civil activists. Despite the country’s distraction with the ongoing campaign for the January legislative election, there are still activists and concerned citizens, who are raising questions and are ready to get the President’s attention regarding the constitutional order in the Nationalist Republic of Sunrisia.

[North Baggnagia]

His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich closes the airspace of North Baggnagia

NORTH BAGGNAGIA/SOUTH BAGGNAGIA BORDER – National Leader, Holy Commander of the North Baggnagian Holy Army and Soon to Be the Holy Commander of the United Baggnagian Holy Army, the Great Leader: His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich has made a move against more imperialist aggression against the Glorious Nation of North Baggnagia. The Great Leader signed an Executive Order to close the airspace of the Glorious Nation of North Baggnagia. Until victory comes in this war there is going to be a No-Fly Zone imposed over the entire airspace of the Glorious Nation of North Baggnagia. Only the North Baggnagian Holy Air Force will be allowed to use the airspace and no other aircraft not even civilian. Anti-air guns will be ready to shoot down any aircraft in North Baggnagian skies that is not a North Baggnagian Holy Air Force aircraft. Anti-air guns and North Baggnagian fighters and bombers will be ready to destroy all imperialist Sunrisian aircraft that will try to access North Baggnagia. That destruction will be done with pleasure. The Sunrisians will not be allowed to reach the Holy City of Silcenda which is the Capital of All Baggnagia. It will be the Capital of a United Baggnagia when the North Baggnagian Holy Army destroys Southern forces and kicks out imperialist forces who are in control of the southern half. When the traitors of the Baggnagian nation and imperialists oppressing the Baggnagian nation are driven out, Silcenda will be the shining light to all Baggnagian lands. The imperialists know it and that is why they are aiming to undercut our confidence. They want to strike us right in our heart. All Baggnagians must rise up to defend Silcenda against the imperialists.

The Southern military aircraft is already trespassing into North Baggnagia and bombing the free half of the Baggnagian nation. They are fulfilling their imperialist master’s order by trying to make us suffer and submit. But the bravery of the North Baggnagian Holy Army has made it difficult for the Southerners to reach their goals. That is why the imperialists are trying to reach them themselves because their puppets are useless to them. Because the North Baggnagian strength is too much for the imperialist and their Southern puppets to handle in a fair battle, they are attempting to sneak an attack into the very heart of the Baggnagian nation. The Baggnagians will not allow that to happen. But until the imperialist aircraft attempts to infiltrate and come to their death, the No-Fly Zone rule can already be used against the Southern aircraft that’s in North Baggnagia. His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich ordered to shoot all of them out of the sky and to make sure that the pilot is dead. Take no prisoners is the order! No mercy!

[Sunrisia]

Sunrisian Air Force Over South Baggnagia Attacks North Baggnagian Military Aircraft And Anti-Aircraft Weaponry To Disassemble The North‘s No-Fly Zone

In response to the closure of the North Baggnagian airspace by the country’s dictator Jan Tillich, the Sunrisian Air Force, which has been conducting an air policing of the South Baggnagian skies for a long time and have partially participated in the current armed conflict on South Baggnagian–Sunrisian side, have received new orders. The Sunrisian Air Force in the region has been ordered to strike anti-aircraft guns in North Baggnagia, while trying not to get hit. In case the North Baggnagian jets attempt to intervene to stop them, the Sunrisian Air Force will be defending itself and battle the North Baggnagian jets, while trying to fulfill the objective of destroying the anti-aircraft guns. Most likely, the Sunrisian Air Force will skillfully assemble a strategy, where some of the aircraft will focus on destroying the guns and other aircraft will provide them with cover, including being on the lookout for North Baggnagian jets. In case the North Baggnagian aircraft attempts to prevent them from fulfilling their objective, which there are not doubts that they will to save their No-Fly Zone, the Sunrisian aircraft on the lookout mission will take on the North Baggnagian jets in battle, as well as distract them, while other Sunrisian aircraft strikes the anti-aircraft guns.

National Defense Consultant Mústêll Cónsîla explained that Sunrisia wants to disassemble the dangerous North Baggnagian regime’s No-Fly Zone, obviously for the strategic purpose of providing access for the aircraft that was sent to North Baggnagia in order to move towards Silcenda and participate in anti-regime activity. However, additional objective is to open the North Baggnagian airspace for the air forces of South Baggnagia and Sunrisia to access in the armed conflict. Moreover, the regime has threatened to destroy any aircraft in North Baggnagian skies that is not the North Baggnagian Holy Army’s, which means that civilian aircraft, including North Baggnagian and of other countries, flying over North Baggnagia could come in danger of being shot down. Innocent passengers would be killed indefinitely. The regime has also taken on the strategy of immediately killing surviving ejected pilots of shot down enemy planes, as part of their policy of not taking any prisoners. In order to prevent the North Baggnagian forces from executing pilots on the spot, North Baggnagian capability of shooting down aircraft must be neutralized and taken away from them. The North Baggnagian regime has already ordered to move against the South Baggnagian aircraft that is in their territory and destroy all of them. That would put many pilots’ lives in danger, whether they are killed in a plane or are executed on the ground, if the North Baggnagian forces find them. Moreover, lack of aerial backing would cause problems for the South Baggnagian and Sunrisian ground forces in their advance, as well as their pushback against the advance of the North Baggnagian forces in the direction of South Baggnagia. That is why the destruction of anti-aircraft guns must be destroyed and control of the regime over the North Baggnagian airspace taken away from them.

General Térsâ Nītádĕr acknowledged the new orders from the government in Orentan and also from his own superior in the Sunrisian Defense Force (SDF). Sunrisian Air Force in South Baggnagia not only continued to intervene in the armed conflict on the aerial front to provide cover for friendly ground forces, but also soon moved against the anti-aircraft guns in North Baggnagia, in order to disassemble the regime’s No-Fly Zone. With expected resistance of the regime’s aircraft, obstacles are expected in this effort, however, General Nītádĕr believes the Sunrisian Air Force will succeed in its’ objective.

[South Baggnagia]

South Baggnagia suffers military aircraft loses but ejected pilots are being given medical help

NORTH BAGGNAGIA; NORTH BAGGNAGIA/SOUTH BAGGNAGIA BORDER; SOUTH BAGGNAGIA – South Baggnagian Protection Army informs from the frontline that there have been losses in aircraft. Since North Baggnagia closed its airspace and imposed a No-Fly Zone the aircraft of South Baggnagia saw a more intense backlash. The planes started being singled out and attacked much more intensely than during battle. North Baggnagian Holy Air Force, North Baggnagian anti-air guns and surface-to-air missiles were raining hell on South Baggnagian aircraft. A lot of planes and helicopters have been shot down and at some moments were even falling like leaves or stars. Admittedly the military was not prepared for this and part of the reason was the underestimating of North Baggnagian abilities. Overconfidence of South Baggnagian troops became a weapon in the North’s hands. The attacks against the aircraft undermined the South’s aerial campaign and also made it more difficult for the land forces to advance forward.

Luckily the Sunrisian strikes against the North’s anti-air guns, surface-to-air missiles and the North’s planes helped the South Baggnagian Protection Air Force bounce back. The aerial forces were soon backed up and largely replaced by new aircraft. Pilots that were shot down were actively being sought out by military search parties. They knew that South Baggnagian personnel from the shot down aircraft did not have much time. If the North Baggnagians got to them first they would’ve been executed then and there. The North takes no prisoners. The discovered personnel from shot down aircraft was taken to medical complexes and given all aid needed. The war is over for them and they must now need rest. Unlikely that even the determined ones with fight in them would be given permission to go back out there. Honorable discharge is more likely.

The South Baggnagian Protection Air Force will be rejoining the advance into North by backing up the land invasion of the allied forces. It will also be helping the Sunrisians in their aerial campaign to destroy what’s left of the North’s weapons against aircraft. A goal to limit the enemy’s air force capabilities is also involved in the list of objectives. Soon the South Baggnagian Protection Army hopes to present updates on the progress made in the fight for Neodvisni where everything started. Lt. General Radoslav Meier, Chairman of the Military Council of South Baggnagia, will be heading out to the active frontline to see how the progress is going. He doesn’t rule out participation in the military campaign himself together with South Baggnagian troops. In his personal words he says that the Chairman’s position can be taken over by anybody in case he joins the fight and may not come back immediately or at all.

[Sunrisia]

Sunrisian Naval Forces Fire Cruise Missiles At North Baggnagia

The Sunrisian Defense Force (SDF) has waited for sundown, in order to deliver the next attacks against the regime’s forces and strategically important targets in North Baggnagia. Tonight, the Sunrisian Naval Forces have started firing far-reaching cruise missiles from the ocean, aimed at long distance targets in North Baggnagia. The targets for the navy include a whole list. Partially, the cruise missile strikes are reinforcing Sunrisia’s air campaign aimed at finishing of the North Baggnagian infrastructure set up for land-to-air warfare. The cruise missiles are fired at anti-aircraft guns, surface-to-air missiles and even hitting North Baggnagian aircraft in the way is not ruled out, even if it is a moving target not on a solid location. The cruise missiles are helping the further goal of dismantling North Baggnagia’s No-Fly-Zone. The Sunrisian Air Force has been in the lead of this effort, but now that the Sunrisian Protection Air Force, which took a lot of hits itself, has joined the air campaign, as well as the Sunrisian Naval Forces helping with cruise missiles, the objective will without a doubt be completed.

The cruise missiles are aiming for North Baggnagian military bases and locations possibly stockpiling weaponry and military equipment, like warehouses or something more discrete. The scout and spy drones help uncover those specific targets, before a shot is fired. Cruise missiles are also going after the North Baggnagian forces out in the open in North Baggnagia, especially those moving south to suppress the northern advance of South Baggnagian and Sunrisian forces. Sunrisian Naval Forces are only firing at North Baggnagia, as the command of the Sunrisian Defense Force (SDF) has not coordinated action with South Baggnagian Protection Army, and the Sunrisian government did not make an agreement with the South Baggnagian Military Council, on whether Sunrisia should follow cruise missiles at invading North Baggnagian forces on South Baggnagian soil. Instead, cruise missiles are currently being used exclusively for North Baggnagia, however, the Sunrisian Military is helping suppress the advance of invading North Baggnagian forces deeper into South Baggnagia, with other available methods and forces.

[South Baggnagia]

Military Council issues a Declaration of War on North Baggnagia

NORTH BAGGNAGIA; NORTH BAGGNAGIA/SOUTH BAGGNAGIA BORDER; SOUTH BAGGNAGIA – The Military Council of South Baggnagia has taken the state of war with North Baggnagia into the judicial field. It has voted on a Declaration of War on North Baggnagia. This bill now creates a state of war on North Baggnagia in a legal field. That means that actions that South Baggnagia is taking now are recognized as not something that South Baggnagia would freely do in normal circumstances. But because there’s now a state of war with North Baggnagia it is legally recognized that South Baggnagia currently does not live under normal circumstances and unconventional action is approved for self-defense. South Baggnagia is doing what is necessary to defend itself against an enemy attacking the homeland. The Declaration of War on North Baggnagia has been passed following Sunrisian example.

The fact that there is a formal state of war with North Baggnagia means that the South Baggnagian Protection Army does not act as some sort of a criminal aggressor on another state’s territory. With a declared war South Baggnagia openly admits that it is taking precautions to defend itself and is not engaged in any secret warfare against a neighboring state. South Baggnagia will not be hiding or denying anything. That being said the formal Declaration of War still does not allow war crimes because there is no excuse of doing anything necessary for South Baggnagian security. But the existence of the state of war means that the economy and social life in South Baggnagia now also operates outside of regular circumstances or a normal state of thing. The passing of the Declaration of War also makes South Baggnagian citizens aware of what kind of a situation the nation is formally living in now. Hence there’s hope for understanding from South Baggnagian citizens in case of irregularities at this time. Like he declared before Lt. General Radoslav Meier, Chairman of the Military Council of South Baggnagia, was at the frontline at this time. But he came back to Jugac in time to chair the Military Council during the passage of this important vote. His duty was also to formally declare the outcome of the vote according to protocol. There was an option to have a substitute chair the Military Council during the vote but Lt. General Radoslav Meier declined the option. He saw it as necessary for him to chair the Military Council during the important vote. As soon as it was passed Lt. General Radoslav Meier immediately went back to where he came from for the vote. He went back to the frontline.

But the Military Council had built up on top of the previous promise that was made about the Declaration of War not being a cheat to justify non-normal activities at this time. There’s still insistence that war crimes from the South Baggnagian Protection Army would not be allowed and the Military Council said it hopes and believes that South Baggnagian troops would never do anything like that. But on top of that reassurance there’s also been suggestions that South Baggnagia does not plan to advance as far with its operation as Sunrisia has. Neodvisni and the defense of mainland South Baggnagia still remain a priority. The Military Council may say more on this in time.

[North Baggnagia]

His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich Declares War on the South

NORTH BAGGNAGIA; NORTH BAGGNAGIA/SOUTH BAGGNAGIA BORDER; SOUTH BAGGNAGIA – National Leader, Holy Commander of the North Baggnagian Holy Army and Soon to Be the Holy Commander of the United Baggnagian Holy Army, the Great Leader: His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich has responded to the South. Hours ago the collaborator and imperialist puppet authority of the South has declared war on the Glorious Nation of North Baggnagia. The puppet authority had their so-called Military Council vote on it. The South’s action mimics the declaration of war by imperialist Sunrisia on the Glorious Nation of North Baggnagia. It is not very surprising. Imperialist Sunrisia declared war on North Baggnagia and now it has ordered the authority it has appointed to rule over occupied south of Baggnagia to do the same. His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich called this declaration of war a war on the entire nation of Baggnagia. The imperialist Sunrisia has manufactured a civil war in Baggnagia by making it seem like an independent South declared war on North Baggnagia. The imperialists have forcefully made Baggnagians fight Baggnagians so that our entire divided nation destroys itself. And once the entire divided nation destroys itself the imperialists can try to claim the entire Baggnagian land. They already have the South and now they will desperately try to take the North by any means. His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich said that this act only proves how important the Holy War is. The North Baggnagian Holy Army is now definitely fighting for the entire Baggnagian nation and its survival. This is not a war between North Baggnagia and collaborators of the South controlled by the imperialists. This is a direct war between the Baggnagian nation and imperialist genocidal Sunrisia.

To discredit the South’s action His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich signed an Executive Order with a Declaration of War on the South. The Great Leader added that North Baggnagia will no longer treat the South’s Sunrisian-controlled authority like it is some kind of a government-like body. His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich declared that North Baggnagia no longer recognizes the South’s authority and its rule over the lands of the South. Because of this North Baggnagia reserves the right to claim sovereignty over the South and the entire Baggnagian land. The Leadership of His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich is the sole legitimate Leadership over all Baggnagian lands. To restore Baggnagian order the North Baggnagian Holy Army now has a legal basis to dismantle the South’s authority, kick out Sunrisian occupants and have the Baggnagian tricolor fly over the South’s land like it does over the Free North. The Great Leader once again spoke to All Baggnagians and invited them to join the Holy War. This time His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich referred to it not just as the Holy War of Baggnagian Reunification but as Baggnagian War of Independence. The Great Leader plans to declare another mobilization if the North Baggnagian Holy Army informs His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich that more forces are needed to fulfill the mission of reclaiming the South.

The Great Leader removed the recognition of the diplomatic status from the Joint Security Areas on the border with the South. Those buildings no longer hold any value and only symbolize the imperialist-created divide of Baggnagian land. His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich declared that these Joint Security Areas, customs, border markers and border-control checkpoints must be physically destroyed by the North Baggnagian Holy Army. This would be a symbolic declaration that the North Baggnagian Holy Army is advancing forward in a quest to reunite Baggnagians under one flag. The Great Leader is confident in the North Baggnagian Holy Army’s ability to take Jugac as the so-called capital of the South. That is where the imperialist puppet authority operates from. As soon as Jugac is taken the control of the South could be consider restored. That is if Jugac does not surrender first out of fear of the Might of the North Baggnagian Holy Army!

[South Baggnagia]

South Baggnagian Protection Army to stay focused on Neodvisni and defending the mainland from the North Baggnagian invasion

NORTH BAGGNAGIA; NORTH BAGGNAGIA/SOUTH BAGGNAGIA BORDER; SOUTH BAGGNAGIA – Military Council of South Baggnagia issued a promised update on the objectives of the South Baggnagian Protection Army in the war. The promise was given yesterday after the Military Council passed a bill with a legal Declaration of War on North Baggnagia. The Military Council claims that the South Baggnagian Protection Army will staid focused on defending the exclave of Neodvisni and defending mainland South Baggnagia from a North Baggnagian invasion. South Baggnagia does not plan to advance further and join Sunrisia in attempting to target the North Baggnagian leadership. The priority is at most to drive the North Baggnagian forces out of Neodvisni and mainland South Baggnagia. The post-factum objectives are to ensure that the North Baggnagian forces don’t attack again or if they do there’s a pushback against them. The objective to create a land corridor by occupying North Baggnagian land between the mainland and Neodvisni is also part of the objective. As cynical as it may sound the existence of the state of war with North Baggnagia gives more justification for South Baggnagian occupation of North Baggnagian land that’s been taken during the war. The Military Council presently doesn’t have intention to annex that land into South Baggnagia but an occupation will remain. The announcement that South Baggnagian forces would not be helping the Sunrisians in targeting the North Baggnagian leadership is causing mixed reactions. Some are happy that specific North Baggnagian objectives are limited which shortens the war for South Baggnagia and also creates the possibility of reinstating a cease-fire with the North. Others see it as weakness and disrespect that Sunrisian forces are supposedly left to handle what is more vital to South Baggnagian well-being than to their own. After many moments of instability a lot of citizens no longer believe that there’s a possibility or a point to seek peace with the North Baggnagian leadership. The North Baggnagian leadership will always have intentions and make attempts of occupying South Baggnagia and reunite Baggnagia under their flag. But the position of not going beyond Neodvisni is the one that has currently won.

[North Baggnagia]

His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich calls up the top generals of the North Baggnagian Holy Army to meet him

SILCENDA, NORTH BAGGNAGIA – National Leader, Holy Commander of the North Baggnagian Holy Army and Soon to Be the Holy Commander of the United Baggnagian Holy Army, the Great Leader: His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich has organized a special meeting with the Generals and other Sub-Commanders of the North Baggnagian Holy Army. His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich wants to dedicate the special meeting to the discussion of traitors in the North Baggnagian Holy Army. There has been a notice by the National Leadership of His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich and the North Baggnagian Holy Army that there’s been an increasing number of traitors in the North Baggnagian Holy Army who have been surrendering to the enemy in the battlefield. The South’s press reported about that earlier based on the account of the South’s forces from the frontline. But the North Baggnagian media dismissed that until the North Baggnagian Holy Army started confirming what the South has been claiming from the start.

Not only is the mass surrender and defection of North Baggnagian traitors happening but it is also taking away more personnel from the North Baggnagian Holy Army whicu makes them a valuable asset to the enemy upon capture. The Southerners and the imperialists could interrogate them to extract any useful information on North Baggnagian strategy they posses. Surrendering to the enemy in a middle of a fight to save your own skin is treasonous enough and there’s little doubt that the Sunrisians will not try to extract information from them. The Great Leader suggests that North Baggnagian forces operating in South Baggnagia should add a new objective to their current list: uncover where the surrendered North Baggnagian troops have been taken and try to abduct them to extradite them back to North Baggnagia. Preferably it should be done before the Southerners and the Sunrisians manage to take out any important strategic information from them.

Over in North Baggnagia these captured and extradited traitors would face trial for treason especially at war time. His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich reminded the North Baggnagian troops to shoot at whichever North Baggnagian troops on the frontline decide to betray their nation in the battlefield. They should be shot in the back as soon as they make first steps towards running in the direction of the enemy with their hands up. His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich said they must be immediately shot in the back or the back of their head as soon as it happens. Unless the North Baggnagian commanders are confident that those North Baggnagian troops have explosives strapped on them, in which case they might be running towards the enemy forces to conduct a suicide attack.

Lt. General Radoslav Meier fights alongside the South Baggnagian Protection Army on the frontline

NORTH BAGGNAGIA; NORTH BAGGNAGIA/SOUTH BAGGNAGIA BORDER; SOUTH BAGGNAGIA – Lt. General Radoslav Meier, Chairman of the Military Council of South Baggnagia, has not just gone to the frontline to offer moral support to the South Baggnagian Protection Army. As he has personally hinted before the Lt. General has picked up arms and joined the fight. He did so partially to the surprise of the Military Council. Even if he did speak about it publicly and allowed the Military Council to know about it just like the rest of the public the Military Council still thought that Lt. General Radoslav Meier might not go through with it. He is said to be fighting together with South Baggnagian troops in and around the Neodvisni exclave. With the absence of Lt. General Radoslav Meier the Military Council is left to consider somebody else to fill the Chairman’s position. It is something that the Military Council is reluctant to consider but in case Lt. General Radoslav Meier is hurt or worse then the chosen successor may have to becoming not just a substitute but a solid replacement.

It now explains the original intention by Lt. General Radoslav Meier to go the frontline in the first place. It wasn’t just to observe. The Lt. General was preparing to join the fight alongside the South Baggnagian Protection Army and also the Sunrisian forces. It’s now also clear why Lt. General Radoslav Meier rushed back to the frontline so soon after an urgent brief return to Jugac to chair the Military Council during a vote to declare war on North Baggnagia. After that vote happened Lt. General Radoslav Meier immediately went back to the frontline. It’s now a mystery when he would come back and he’s unavailable for contact even to the rest of the Military Council. Probably the Military Council will logically have to move forward not just with a substitute but a replacement of the Lt. General with someone in the Chairman’s position. The Military Council is comprised of many capable military officers to take such a place and the majority of them have skills to act as politicians too. Political skills is something still needed for a Military Council because it is not just a military body but the only active government body in South Baggnagia right now.

The Military Council now is discussing not just the substitute or a replacement for the Chairman. There’ve been earlier mentions about the status of land that the South Baggnagian Protection Army will occupy during its war with North Baggnagia. The nation presently has no intention to annex the occupied land into South Baggnagia. But there’s still going to be a land corridor created out of occupied lands. The problem is that they would too remain surrounded by North Baggnagia and be a vulnerable location to North Baggnagian aggression like Neodvisni ended up to be. That’s why the Military Council now thinks how much North Baggnagian land should be additionally occupied around Neodvisni and the straightforward land corridor from the mainland to Neodvisni. The Military Council believes the best option would be to have a horizontal border with North Baggnagia without much complications. But for that to be achieved the Military Council admits that South Baggnagia may have to occupy North Baggnagian south and push the northern border of South Baggnagia all that way up to Neodvisni. And if that plan goes through then South Baggnagia will have to measure on whether it will be better to create a buffer zone out of all the occupied land or annex them into South Baggnagia.

Sunrisian Air Force Surrounds North Baggnagian Capital Silcenda

The military aircraft of the Sunrisian Air Force has reached the national capital of North Baggnagia – Silcenda. That is where the country’s dictatorship is based and operates from. The Sunrisian military aircraft, which remains cautious and on guard, consists of primarily fighter jets and attack helicopters, although some bombers are present in this aerial composition. Transport helicopters, carrying Sunrisian soldiers, are escorted by armed combat aircraft that guards them for any attacks. This is being seen as part of the plan by the Prime Intelligence Division (PID) and other Sunrisian intelligence services to target the North Baggnagian regime. How will that exactly be done, remains a mystery. The Sunrisian intelligence community and the representation of the Sunrisian Defense Force (SDF) insist that they would not attack the city. In which case, there is a question – how will Sunrisia target the North Baggnagian regime by only having these visible military tools, specifically combat military and transport military aircraft carrying Sunrisian soldiers, without actually attacking the city of Silcenda. President Fórî Apstérâ, who is also the Director of the Prime Intelligence Division (PID) and oversees the operation, has promised himself that Silcenda would be harmed, because Sunrisia does not want to harm North Baggnagian citizens it wants to help liberate from the dictatorship. However, the President refuses to go into any more detail and says that everyone will know what the plan is or was, after the job is done. So, it looks like there is not going to be any progress for investigative journalism on that mystery, which the administration of the President says it is keeping under wraps for strategic purposes at times of war.

Minister of Security of the Nationalist Republic of Sunrisia – Rêbór Acértâ, reacted with understanding towards South Baggnagia’s wish to stay focused on the exclave of Neodvisni and defending mainland South Baggnagia. Sunrisia will still directly help South Baggnagian in defending and securing Neodvisni, while also helping create a land corridor from occupied North Baggnagian land that would connect Neodvisni to mainland South Baggnagia. Apart from Sunrisian commitment to the Mutual Defense Treaty (Sunrisia–South Baggnagia), Sunrisia also wants to reinforce and protect its’ own military personnel stationed in mainland South Baggnagia and Neodvisni, whether they are in the shared command of the Joint Task Force (JTF) together South Baggnagian forces or they are in Sunrisian Forces – South Baggnagia (SFSB), as well as its’ in sub-branch – Sunrisian Army – Neodvisni (SAN).

However, the Apstérâ administration and the Sunrisian government clearly have, if not so much of a vendetta, but a goal to take down the North Baggnagia regime as a sworn enemy of Sunrisia. Minister of International Relations of the Nationalist Republic of Sunrisia – Nívâl Rêtráctăs, will go and is ready to go against the North Baggnagian regime alone. Minister of Security Rêbór Acértâ has backed up the cabinet colleague’s statement and so has National Defense Consultant Mústêll Cónsîla later. This next chapter in the war is only between Sunrisia and North Baggnagia. This time it is personal one-on-one.

His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich aims to deal with traitors in the North Baggnagian Holy Army

SILCENDA, NORTH BAGGNAGIA – National Leader, Holy Commander of the North Baggnagian Holy Army and Soon to Be the Holy Commander of the United Baggnagian Holy Army, the Great Leader: His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich has taken a Harsh Stance against traitors in the North Baggnagian Holy Army. The Great Leader said so at the meeting with the topic generals of the North Baggnagian Holy Army which His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich called up earlier. There’s been growing concern and reports of traitors in the North Baggnagian Holy Army who defect to the enemy’s side in the middle of battle. These disgraced traitors also leak strategic information and plans early. Some become traitors earlier after allowing themselves to get captured and getting information beaten out of them. A True Hero of North Baggnagia would rather die from interrogation or commit suicide on the field before being captured. But never would they allow themselves to reveal the Motherland’s secret. That’s why it is so important to not allow any North Baggnagian prisoners to be taken. His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich ordered North Baggnagian troops to shoot former comrades to kill immediately on the battlefield if they saw that their comrades were ready to surrender to the enemy. The North Baggnagian Holy Army can’t afford to have any more of its secrets exposed. But His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich concentrated on other traitor-related crackdown to his generals at the meeting. The Great Leader encouraged for them to seek out traitors among themselves and make sure to neutralize them. His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich acknowledged the rift that has been supposedly developing within the North Baggnagian Holy Army during this war. The rift is being architected by traitors who are enemies of The People, Baggnagia and work for the imperialists in the same capacity as the South’s collaborationist authority thus. His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich reminded how important it is to clear the North Baggnagian Holy Army from traitors and the nation as a whole of traitors because North Baggnagia and Baggnagia as a whole need to mobilize and be united against the enemy. The Sunrisian imperialists are already hovering over the Holy City of Silcenda. Right now Judgment Day and a Key Chapter in the Holy War are upon Baggnagia. His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich ordered to shoot the Sunrisian imperialist aircraft out of the skies above Silcenda. The imperialists are losing in a direct battle with the unmatched North Baggnagian Holy Army so they are now desperately trying to strike Baggnagia in her heart. They think that by decapitating Baggnagia they will force her to surrender. His Excellency Marshal Jan Tillich promises that he would never allow that to happen in the name of Baggnagia.

South Baggnagian Protection Army retakes the exclave of Neodvisni from North Baggnagian forces occupying it

NEODVISNI, SOUTH BAGGNAGIA – South Baggnagian Protection Army declares that it has reinstated control over the exclave of Neodvisni. This is where everything began. The invading North Baggnagian Holy Army has been driven out of Neodvisni. After retaking Neodvisni the South Baggnagian Protection Army started symbolically tearing down all flags of North Baggnagia that invader forces have put up trying to symbolize their control of the invaded city. Lt. General Radoslav Meier, Chairman of the Military Council of South Baggnagia, participated in the final offensive for the liberation of Neodvisni. The Lt. General is still there right with South Baggnagian forces trying to reestablish order and calm from North Baggnagian occupation. Humanitarian and medical help is being given to whoever needs it. The troops are looking through the city just to make sure if there aren’t any undercover North Baggnagian troops, spies or pro-North Baggnagia militia left sneaking around. But even if Neodvisni has now been formally liberated there’s too early to celebrate. Lt. General Radoslav Meier says that the North Naggnagians are preparing a counter-offensive to make a second attack and try to reclaim Neodvisni from South Baggnagian forces. To prepare for that possibility where the question is not if it would happen but when it would happen, Lt. General Radoslav Meier has called for reinforcements to be sent to Neodvisni and for a new mobilization of the South Baggnagian Protection Army. His additional orders were to make sure that the occupied land corridor from the mainland to Neodvisni stays secured because the North Baggnagians may attempt to attack that thin corridor from mainly western and eastern direction. Neodvisni is not the only priority. South Baggnagian Protection Army will be trying to secure the liberated exclave of Neodvisni while preparing to defend against a North Baggnagian counter-offensive. But the North Baggnagian advance into mainland South Baggnagia has not stopped yet. If the Neodvisni front has momentarily calmed down the mainland front continues. South Baggnagian Protection Army with Sunrisian help must continue fighting off the invasion. In the end the battle still continues on two front because of the preparation for an enemy counter-offensive on Neodvisni.
