The Liberal Democratic Party are for creating an equal, inclusive, secular society with liberal thought and their main policy is to end any wage gaps between ethnicities.
The Conservative Party of Bhikkustan aim to defend our national traditions in a right wing capitalist society. They are quite strong on their thoughts that we should limit refugees, and ban the burqa.
The Shariah Party stand for the Muslim community of Bhikkustan, aiming to protect their ethnicity's traditions and instigate shariah laws in Bhikkustan. A smaller party, they are expected to form a coalition with the National Party.

Protests in Port Gray

As discussions regarding royal succession continue, protesters took to the streets of Port Gray today to show their displeasure with the current governmental system. Hundreds of protesters, including members of pro-Asorist group "Takehold", marched down Winston St., Comb St. and Havelock Ave. before making a stand at Brechridge Square. Protesters chanted anti-aristocratic slogans and showed their disdain for both options for Atnaian succession, holding signs saying "No Drug Lords for Prince" and "Empty Heads, Empty Promises".

In response, Prince James has made his first statement on the matter of succession. Yesterday, speaking to an interviewer for WINN, the Prince had this to say:

"I support my grandson in any regard in this matter. He has the right to the crown when I pass, and he is no longer the man he was seven years ago. He would make a good prince."

He concluded the interview with a joke on his ailing health:

"I may not be able to stand quite as well as when I was thirty, but I don't plan in laying down and dying any time soon."

This did nothing to convince the Asorist supporters, who have camped out at Brechridge Square. Danielle Kennedy, a spokesperson for Takehold, had this to say:

"The aristocrats in the House of Nobles do not represent the interests of the people. Our elections are a sham, our representatives hold no power, and the Prince is a symbol of the tyranny that a wealthy group of elites holds over us. The argument isn't who should be Prince, but whether we need a Prince at all."

With little sign of the protests ending, the municipal government of Port Gray has ordered police surveillance of the situation. The government has yet to respond on the issue, although it is very likely that the issue is being discussed in both the House of Commons and the House of Nobles.

Islam declared as only religion of Anthoriala

Today, Sultan Hazbagha Al-Hummeini declared the Islam to be the only religion in Anthoriala. The minority religions (like Catholicism, Hinduism and Buddhism) are now illegal and outlawed. After the Sultan declared the good news thousands of people came out their houses in Izmik and started to burn down churches and temples. Every religious symbol which was not Islamic was destroyed. The police did nothing about the "big burn" because the Sharia tells there is only one major religion and all the other religions are outlawed.

There are also rumours that Sultan Hazbagha Al-Hummeini wants to declare itself as Caliph in stead of the royal he is now. If he is appointed as Caliph the bloodline of the Anthorialan reign is after hundreds of years not inheritable anymore.

FULL SCALE ASSAULT ON MILITARY OUTPOST

Just last night, a force of about a thousand Oglassan citizens mounted an assault on outpost Gamma 2, and hour out from the capital. Military casualties exceed 25, the largest attack this year. General Minister, Hachirou Kagome, speaking up about this issue. "This attack is absolutely unacceptable. Men and women who served this country proudly, died in that attack just a few hours ago, and it will not go unpunished."

Parliament Hall passed a bill that would increase taxes on all citizens by 15%, making the federal tax rate now, 24%. The highest in Oglassan history. The bill also included that Luxa would fall under martial law until the attacks ceased.

Plans to reintroduce the Lynx and Wolf finalised

Extinct in Franco-Albion since the medieval ages, there have been
plans for breeding and reintroduction programmes since the 1980s.

Lynx, wild boar and, eventually, wolves, could all be reintroduced to Franco-Albion under plans set out by the Isenburg administration.

"Wild Commonwealth Protocol" (WCP) has been established with the goal of restoring several key species which were hunted to extinction.

The planned proposals have already drawn criticism from farmers' leaders.

The WCP says its plans would allow "native forests to regenerate, while giving the seas a chance to recover from industrial fishing".

But it is the plan's goal of reintroducing species including the lynx, and ultimately the wolf, which will attract most scrutiny.

Spokeswoman Jessica Palms told FABC News: "A lot of our important animals were hunted to extinction, species like the wolf, the wild boar, the lynx.

"These are important keystone species which actually drive ecological processes and we should be looking a lot more seriously at bringing these animals back."

"Our countryside provides food, forestry, tourism, renewables, field sports and environmental goods."

"Recent history has taught us any species introduction, whether legal or illegal, can have an impact on the many benefits that the Scottish countryside currently delivers."

The animals' supporters argue they improve biodiversity by creating valuable habitats for a range of other species.

Under plans proposed by the WCP, 12 breeding pairs of lynx are to be released into several locations in the remote, woodland areas of the South East.

For their initial safety, the exact locations of the animals will remain classified to promote their safety and to avoid conflicts with domesticated animals and urban pets.

After much consultation, the areas chosen are in remote areas far from domestic animal farming and urban populations.

Estimates suggest that, if successful, there may be several hundred Lynx by 2050.

Outrage in Bhikkustan!

After the outrageous genocide inflicted on the buddhist communities in Anthoralia, Bhikkustan has declared unilateral sanctions, and have banned any trade between the nations. They have declared intentions of forming a blockade on the nation. One of the new revolt class frigates purchased from Eurania has been sent to international waters, along with 100 troops and helicopters. Two transport ships have joined this group, one of them from the international red wheel organisation. They aim to extract buddhist citizens from the nation, and warn that there will be consequences if they are denied.

Khan Surevi gave a speech to the nation, highlighting the outrage of the entire nation. "We shall got tolerate such barbaric violence in our region. This is an attack on our religion, the sacred treasure of our nation. If these barbarians want to kill innocents, they have succeeded. However, we shall not stoop to their level and attack. Buddhism is a pure religion, and it shall not taint itself by taking the practices of these extremists. I know members of the Islamic faith, and they are good men. It pains me that some people would commit such acts and blame them on faith, as that is just an excuse for your own sociopathy, and not in the spirit of that faith."

Prominent members of the Muslim minority also echoed his sentiment, announcing that anyone who killed in the name of their faith was not a Muslim he would recognise. He pleaded Anthoralia to stop the senseless killings, before it incited a wave of islamophobia.

Debris Cleared!

Following the treaty of Voyageur, Domania has been given control of, and responsibility for rebuilding Voyageur. And today, the first areas of destroyed city have been cleared of destroyed buildings and rubble.



Several tens of thousands of citizens have clamored for shelter and Doman relief units have set up temporary shelters in the bay area as supplies flood in. In a surprising twist several hundred individuals said something similar.

"This is much better than we have been treated in the past. Before you came, this city was hell". This message ha been played back in the federation to boost moral and support for the current ruling party. Efforts to rebuild the city have created thousands of jobs for Doman citizens, and former residents of Voyageur. Many have even been taken aboard ships still in the harbor for better shelter. Only about 3,500 individuals have asked to leave the occupied zone. They were granted safe passage, but most of the cities population still live there and have been given clean water and healthy food.

This city will truly become the envy of the world onces reconstruction is finished.

Port Gray, the City of Wireless

Port Gray may be taking a big step into the future soon. Following weeks of speculation as to the nature of so-called Project Landscape, Heron Technologies has announced a partnership with the city council that will bring unrivaled wireless internet services to the city.

"We've been working at this for a long time and are ecstatic that we can finally announce it," said the founder of Heron Technologies, Killian Masque.

According to the announcement, Heron will begin construction on several major server batteries throughout the city. These batteries will be linked to Wi-Fi transmitters throughout the city using advanced fiber optics. For a small fee, users will be able to set up an account with Heron and access the city Wi-Fi from anywhere. This has the potential to save users millions in data bills collectively.

The obvious concern with the plan is security. Hackers might be able to use the system to gain unprecedented access to private information.

"Obviously the system's security is at the forefront of our minds," said Masque. "We have been developing our security solutions to this potential problem since conception and are confident the system will be secure against attack."

Another potential problem is backlash from 3G and 4G providers, who would lose significant business to such a system.

"The Atnaian system isn't one of handouts," replied Masque to these concerns. "These other companies will move with the times or they will fail."

The system will begin construction in 2016, with stress testing and security betas for some areas of the city as early as March.

Yesterday the Sultan abolished the parliament and sent the government home. Now the Sultan has full executive power over the law-making process and the police. He is also the leader of the army. The first law he pushed through was that he ordered all British languaged people to leave the country without 12 hours. All the citizens that could't get out were captured and sent to prisons in the south-west.

"We are doing this to show that religion can't be fully lived after if there are still Christian languages around us. Latin was already banished an now British is also lifted." Says the sultan.

"I also want to recommend Great-Imperialonia not to interfere in our process. We are doing our best to make our country the place Allah failed to create. Even if he wants to interfere we have Allah's support!" Says the sultan after the conference.

As well as any bills that have passed through the ministry, including a bill named, the Fare Act, detailing the full annexation and settlement of Fare, the territory in southern Organa Island." Kaku paused, "Many citizens seem to be against this act, protesting. Some have gone into the Hall to petition against it. Though with Parliament's strict policies following the loss of life at Outpost Gamma 2, we can see little hope of citizens even considered, in the voting process."

"We are close to the time of votin," he stopped, "Something's happening," the camera turned to Parliament Hall, multiple citizens were running away from it.

President Antoinette pushes to save the environment of Donné, CPS continues transportation of confidential items, Red dove delivers holiday presents to Xrevaro

President Antoinette made her stance on Donné clear last week at the First Estate concerning the new territory. She strongly supported the set up of protected lands to preserve the wildlife of the new area, and environmental regulations on companies. However on the opposing side was much of the First Estate and César, command of CPS. César stated doing so would go against not only Victoire's political party that voted her into office, but the nations ideologies as a whole. Big companies such as the "Triton corporation" and "Energy Solutions" are vital to the PPU's economy and therefore the Libertaire and Penchée Droit party strongly oppose the banning of these companies and to that end the regulation of any company in the Donné territory. Heavily outnumbered her proposals were shot down, including her revised Gun control legislation which was previously rejected in July. Since she was elected President, Victoire has barely done anything, if at all. This is largely due to her continuously butting heads with the Estate and much of CPS. Which is odd considering all them are in the Libertaire party. Currently Victoire is in Dashgrinaar and is expected to remain there until the 30th, which has outraged many as she is expected to miss independence day.

IPS has continued the transportation of materials for CPS, and yesterday five large cargo ships departed Annuaire rumored to be headed to Bhumidol. Bhumidol is not a very popular country with citizens and so the possibility of CPS cooperating with the Bhumidol government has worried many.

After the events in Anthoralia lately, Bhikkustan have decided to join the war against Anthoralia. Khan Surevi, the de facto leader during the handover has offered to form a coalition with Imperialonia-Youkraneana with the goal of removing the horrible dictatorship that has swept up the innocent people of Anthoralia. Bhikkustan has deployed five of its frigates into nearby water to form a blockade and have sent ten thousand troops over. They will wait to attack when the signal is given. We wish them luck, for like history before us, we mongols shall sweep aside the enemy! For the Khan and our nation!

Any people wishing to join the army must be over 18, but we need troops. Sign up at your local barracks and we will show them our strength.
