Sources have indicated that the Randmar Host has arrived at the Southern Canal and has begun the processing of assuming control. So far no one has raised issues at this move and it is looking like the national government will assume control over the Canal and begin paying what is owed to Daimen. The RTC and WSTC are quite happy with these developments having seen an uptick in stock prices with the knowledge that their homeland is securing an important thoroughfare through the Argus continent.

WSTC in particular is attempting to capitalize on this by issuing stocks, in some opinions a bit earlier to gain their real value. Some believe they are banking on the acquisition being more costly or being stopped by outside forces, where as RTC is being more patient about the matter. The Daimen Family's various business have seen their steady decline in stocks level off since the announcement was made by the government, which has allowed them to reorganize for what most predict to be another steady decline since Rotch maintains its unofficial embargo on Daimen Mines.

In regards to the actual canal, events there are being suppressed by the government and no other leaks are being reported. Business sources in the area say that traffic is still making it's way though the canal, so no major upsets have occurred. Following the court martial and execution of several military officers last month, most of the usual government leaks seem to have been plugged or the actual leaks are too afraid of the vastly expanded Agency of Internal Affairs powers under the Cole administration to speak out anymore.

Premier Yenin visits Euravarium, Former Foreign Affairs diplomat speaks out

---

Yenin at the Euravarium

Premier Yenin visited the Euravarium this afternoon around 1:00 PM, where he met with God Visanov, the owner of the oceanarium. Inside, he visited many of the exhibits, including the epitome of the oceanarium, the killer whale exhibit. The Euravarium is the largest oceanarium in the Western Isles' displaying more than 450,000 animals in its exhibits.

"I feel that more of Eurania must learn about nature and the world we live in." spoke Yenin during his visit. Mr. Yenin is the first government official to visit the exhibition since N.Z. legislator Evgeny Yenin, Mr. Yenin's father, visited the complex in 1973, when the entire site was completely different.

Mr. Yenin also unexpectedly met schoolchildren on a field trip to the Euravarium; the two parties converged at the killer whale exhibit.

"I and the staff of the Euravarium are proud to show Eurania and the rest of the Western Isles the beauty of our oceans and how we should appreciate them more." spoke Visanov after Yenin's visit. This statement was made around the time of the controversy around the Euranian killer whale exhibit by other countries and animal rights organizations, claiming the whales were 'stolen from the wild where they belong'. Despite the controversy surrounding the Euravarium on its killer whales, many reacted well to Yenin's trip and Mr. Visanov's statement.

Geneva Arkanian at the Nationov Zoviet

Eurania, before reforms took place, sent a delegate to Doppler. Her name was Geneva Arkanian. However, after affairs with the MSTO-aligned nation deteriorated quickly, the delegate was secret extracted and taken back to Eurania. After years of secrecy and accusations that she was murdered or she defected, Arkanian herself spoke out this morning.

"I don't appreciate these conspiracy theories about me. I went, I attended, and I discussed foreign affairs with the other delegates with peaceful intentions." Arkanian spoke. "After relations soured, I went back to Eurania. The end."

Arkanian has not been convicted of any charge. While according to polls, some Euranians are suspicious about her, the majority do not think of her as a suspect in any dirty involvement in foreign affairs. Arkanian has rejoined the government as a legislator in the Nationov Zoviet.

Political Happenings and Museum Fires!

During the last few weeks, Individuals have been casting their votes for their new representatives in the Grand Congress (A great privilege Granted every 2 years). And of the 6 Parties looking to get members in the Congress, the two smallest parties were looking weak and ripe for the picking. The Federalist Party and the Imperialist Party are the smallest parties, but some of the oldest. They have been whittled down to size by the other members over the last decade or two.


(Beyn Tarr on far Left, In focus)

Congressman Beyn Tarr (Leader of the Imperialist Party) gave a speech last week to a meeting of Imperialists and Federalists;

"Our parties have cooperated in the past to ensure that neither of our parties are wiped off the face of the planet. But we face dangerous times. The Congressional voting will take place and if we do not make a stand, our ideals will be wiped from the face of the earth. We must band together to over take the Konservitive and Socialist parties that plague our ideals! We must unite our parties under a joint partnership. Under the Imperialist Name with integrated Federalist Ideals! We will be unstoppable!"

The idea to merge two opposing parties has been unheard of. But, while the campaigns were still running, Beyn came out to the public and announced that the New Imperialist Party is now larger and stronger! The Federalists agreed to a merge, but they weren't absorbed. They formed a united Voting block. This is unheard of since all the parties have fought each other and have been large enough to out vote others. But uniting two parties in a voting block boost their number of seats to 24 which rivals the Kommunist Party, which is the fourth largest party.



After the Announcement, Many Federalist Supporters voted Imperialist thinking that It was a new party. When the results were named in the Congressional Meeting, the Federalist Members were shocked to find that 4 of their members have been outvoted by Imperialist Members. Now the Imperialists had control over another party, and can push to make re-forms. If the Underhanded Beyn Tarr continues these actions, he may very well take over the Kommunist Party next which would tie their numbers of a Large Voting Block with that of the Liberalis Party, the third largest party.

It is Interesting times ahead for the Grand Congress.

Shortly After the Congressional Announcement, a large fire broke out near some woods in the District of Vulctos-Henta. Despite fall already having begun, this forest fire still spread far and wide. Firefighters have contained most of the flames as it was a small wood surrounded by grasslands. However, it was discovered recently that the fire originated inside the Fort Vulctos Museum.

The Museum has great historical and cultural ties to modern Domanania. The first 999 call about a fire came from museum curators. Someone had set fire to the replica Ammunition Depot they had set up. The fire rose high in the old wooden building, and a collapsing support beam fell off, and sent sparks over the wall. Large black plumes of smoke rose up and carrying embers to the dry woods, set them ablaze. The fire within the fort was contained, but the forest fire spread quickly.

With confirmed sightings of four individuals fleeing the Depot, it has been confirmed as Arson. However, this is the second historical site in the last few weeks to be damaged by human tampering. The Train that crashed into a station several days ago has been confirmed to have had the electronics tampered with. Some one is targeting Historic Doman Sites for an unknown reason.

Premier Simok Daokham gives Speech Earlier Today

Today around noon, the Premier of our nation gave a rousing speech about current revelations in the Isles and how they affect Urazawa. The speech largely focused on Bhikkustan, but it also talked about fellow communist nations, the MSTO, and the nation of Vioraux.

The first part of this speech focused mainly on Bhikkustan. This comes as no surprise to many as with the installation of a communist government the two allies grow closer together. He stated that Urazawa looks to keep the Bhikkustanni government stable and looks to support it through any economic, military or cultural means that it can. He stated that Bhuddists need to remain together and stated that the Urazawa still maintains firm resolve to the ISDP.

"In a region of the world that is so violent and unstable, Urazawa maintains full support towards the International Sangha Defensive Pact. We hope though that the other members of the Pact, Athara Magarat and Bhumidol, will consider turning their economic systems towards Communism. We here in Urazawa firmly believe that Communism fits the ideals of the Buddha much better than Capitalism does."

Moving forward the premier addressed the other communist nations in the Isles, that communist nations must stand together, although Capitalism is not an enemy of the Revolution to be feared. It is nations which attack communism not Capitalism. While many outside of Urazawa would be confused by this, Urazawans understand, this is because Urazawa maintains a modified form of Communism which brings in some good elements from Capitalism, rewarding people but not making people inherently better than one another. He directed his talk of this to the MSTO, an organization which is currently at war with New Aapelistan and Eurania, two fellow communist nations.

"It is not Capitalism alone that Communists must fear. Many Capitalist nations are good nations, nations such as Gudao and Randmar, it is only nations and organizations like the MSTO that Communists must be wary of. The MSTO looks to eliminate communism, thus Urazawa will stand opposed to it. It is our hope that such an organization will stop targeting the nations of New Aapelistan and Eurania, and that it will give up a policy of staunch anti-communism."

The Premier towards the end of his speech talked of the nation of Vioraux. This came as a surprise to many, as Vioraux has little effect on Urazawa. Vioraux as a nation is a testamount to the ways of old Europe. Hurting its own people, classifying them as lesser than each other, it symbolizes everything Communism stands against. With the announcement of Gladiator contests beginning soon, to us at least, it was no surprise.

"Truly Vioraux is an affront, not just to Communism, but to Humanity as a whole. I can bet that it is not just Communists, Bhuddists, or even Urazawans who are appalled; but also anyone with compassion for their fellow human. It is truly detestable what they do to their own people and it should serve as a reminder of why us Urazawans are so proud of our system of governance and our economic system. We may truly be one of the freest peoples in the Isles, contrary to what people uneducated about communism may believe."

Government Sponsored Eterna Networks Program on Full Display as Administration Looks to Cut Back


A Prometheus Drone Flies Over The Grahx Mountain Range

CANNICH, CANNICH, EUTRISTON- The James administration's controversial Eterna Networks program recently came to the forefront of government attention, and as budget cuts are being made in the wake of the expense of the Jahe Davmwoem Crisis, the program is under increasingly heavy inspection. The program, a joint operation done by both Eutristinian and Oster Authorities in providing internet connectivity, is being discussed on the chopping block. Many have hailed the program as a great step forward in bringing the worst off of the country into the modern era, while some believe the program is needless and would be better done in private industry.

In the course of seven months, the program has managed to provide internet connectivity to 73% of areas that didn't have accessibility prior to the launch, and projections have universal internet connectivity across the nation being available by mid 2017. The programs rapid growth is due in large part to its unorthodox method of internet administering, which has been seen as revolutionary.

"The program really, to me at least, shows Eutristinian innovation at its best. By using new technology to its greatest potential, I believe we've begun to see the future," said Ronald Franksin, Co-Executive Chairman of the project, "Drones really haven't been utilized in the field of wireless connectivity until now, and now that we are using them, we are able to not only provide internet, but provide it in areas that a tower wouldn't be practical nor environmentally friendly. These drones run off of solar power, a further testament to how green this project is. The only reason we haven't achieved 100% accessibility yet is because of the time it took to test and produce the drones in the first place."

The program so far has cost the government 1.73 billion dollars, which is relatively inexpensive compared to the costs of healthcare and welfare. The probability of the program being dropped is low, mainly due to the Archream's vocal advocacy for it. Most believe that the largest cuts will be taken out of healthcare, which has been moving over to relative privatization over the past decade. Healthcare currently makes up 13% of the government budget, which has come under criticism by conservatives for being "way too much for a program that is mostly privatized."

Some also fear the diplomatic repercussions of cutting an international program, a reckless move some would say. The Oster Co-Executive Chair of the project, Albert Franken, has said, "The program suggests the positive relations between both Ostehaar and Eutriston, and show how much can be yielded when both countries work together. The program has done amazing things to bring people into the modern age, which I believe is a testament as to how much good can be achieved when our two countries toil for a common goal."

Current pledged support to the Eterna Networks program in congress stands at 317, a mere 44 votes away from the required 351 majority for the program to be spared. Pledged votes against the program currently stand at 103, a long way off of majority. Current trends of the Parliament usually have parliamentary actions with larger pledged votes going into session being passed in a 7 to 1 margin. The fate of the Eterna Networks program seems to be favorable going into the sessions, but there is room for surprises.

Cooperative Union to send aid to Athara Magarat and Callumstan following refugee intake


Session inside the Commission Chamber

So far two member states of the Cooperative Union, Athara Magarat and Callumstan has expressed their intention of allowing Bhikkustani refugees to seek refuge in the country. Inside the Commission Chamber of the Cooperative Union, delegates from member states discuss the implications and how to remedy any disturbances. Covonantian delegate to the Cooperative Union Mrs. Lucretia Silvania had showed concern with the refugee crisis taking place and asked member states whether they were willing to assist. A few states insisted that at this time it would be a challenge, states such as Covonant opted not to take any refugees.

The Athara Magarati delegate who is also Athara Magarati Ambassador to Covonant His Excellency Kyle Gurung expressed that as a result of cultural ties to Bhikkustan the Athara Magarati government will take on refugees from the country. He however insisted on the assistance from CU member states.

The Hang announced that Athara Magarat will be providing temporary shelter and jobs for a year until the conflict in Bhikkustan is settled. It is our moral duty as Athara Magaratis work in Bhikkustan as soldiers, religious preachers, IT professionals and in various sectors. The two nations are often termed as Athara Magarati sister and her Bhikkstani brother due to our similarities in culture and religion. I believe that we will require the assistance of your nations for feeding them. Modern Athara Magarat heavily relies on imported foods and we will be unable to feed the refugees. Shelter and jobs we can manage but food, clothing and some other necessities, we would need the help of your nations, delegates.

Refugee sites in Callumstan

Many delegates seemed contented with the thought of aiding Athara Magarat. Covonantian delegate to the CU Mrs. Silvania expressed Covonantians interest in assisting but outlined that aid should follow a protocol.

Covonant has withdrawn financial aid to Bhikkustan and as such our government is concerned that with the ongoing crisis and no government assistance to the people it may be devastating on a large scale for other states. I applaud the Athara Magarat government for making a bold step in assisting the refugees. Covonant too shares the same issues and concerns as most of the CU member states, we however wish to advise whether this Commission is willing to provide necessities to alleviate the burdens that would be faced by the Athara Magarat government, namely food, water and clothing supplies. The Cooperative Union has stipulations when it comes with granting aid to member states and in this instance, Athara Magarat will be in need of aid to ensure that the problems that may arise will not be detrimental to the economy or the natural course of governance. Member states who have pledge to support Athara Magarat will have to make their claims explicitly clear to ensure that we adhere to Article 25 Section 2 of the treaty that deals with the issuance of Aids to ensure it is non prejudicial and compatible with the mandates of this Union. Any member state that from hence forth wishes to assist in the taking in of refugees will adhere by these stipulations.

The Athara Magarati government was asked to provide a report to the Commission before member states sign off to sending assistance. The Athara Magarati delegate presented the report in Chamber outlining in numbers what assistance may be needed.

Hundreds if not thousands of them have already left their origin nation after Bhikkustan had a new government. Our government estimates that we would need 9,300 metric tons of food for all 500,000 thousand refugees along with clothing items, mosquito nets, temporary shelters and refugee funds. We cannot take all of the half million refugees as there would be too much population imbalance. Our government estimates that we can take around 200,000 of them exactly at this moment and more if necessary. The government of Athara Magarat will provide them temporary jobs in sectors that lack manpower, our factories, construction sites, government farms, small cottage industries, restaurants, etc depending on their skills. Highly-skilled and qualified of them will even get job placements on our world-famous animation and video games industry, smartphone companies, religious institutions and so on. We expect that our economy will be have some losses at the initial months but gradually recover by the next fiscal year. Since we will be sheltering them for a year, we will wait for the events in the coming months to decide if they will remain on Athara Magarat or go back to develop Bhikkustan with newly acquired skills

-Kyle Gurung, Athara Magarat delegate to the Cooperative Union

It is not yet clear exactly when the assistance will reach Athara Magarat as member states will have to send officers to verify the government reports and also to proposed to the Commission how such assistance can be delivered.

Rajya Sabha Considers Legislation for 2500 Bhikkustani Refugees

Rajadhani, 03:18 - Following a recommendation from ISDP officials, Sivaputhagam Palace has been considering the possibility of allowing 2500 Bhikkustani refugees into the country. Ganaraja Bodhai forwarded the Bhikkustani Refugee Act of 2016 to the Rajya Sabha late at night on November 19th, with most political observors uncertain of the reaction of the respective representatives. The members of the nation's legislature are set to consider the act as the third item on their docket sometime tomorrow morning.

"Many Bhumhalese have always viewed themselves as being a single race, and being part of a homogenous nation", says Professor Kandhan, at the Maharaja Political Institute at the University of Rajadhani. "It's true that several policy makers have been floating the idea of greater immigration over the past decade, but no one has ever taken their proposals seriously. No single political party has made a clear stance on the issue of immigration, and it may not be innaccurate to guess that their silence so far indicates thay they've been caught off guard."

Meanwhile, citizens have taken to LoL to express their thoughts on the possible refugee influx. Data Analysts here at SBSN have aggregated over 20000 responses on LoL to the immigration proposal and have found that the general populace has remained ambivalent, though mildly negative about the influx of refugees.

One user said, "If they're here to stay, I hope they leave marxism back at home".

Another user was concerned about cultural differences, stating, "Bhikkustanis have an old culture. They adore precisely the things we as Bhumhalese people have been fighting against for the past century - the backwardness of religion, and the poverty that comes hand in hand. I hope they will integrate into our society well."

Several users resounded staunch opposition to the acceptance of refugees. "Many of these Bhikkustani refugees don't have the marketable skills to etch out a living in Bhumidol", says one user. "They'd end up in poverty, and where poverty is, crime will follow."

Other users had more optimistic outlooks. One user said, "We may be different people today, but long ago, we were a more similar people. Maybe once again, we can become similar people once again... I for one think its unfair to prejudge these Bhikkustani refugees."

Meanwhile, ATS (Anabhumaidol Tangukara Samskrti - Bhumhalese Against the Cultural Dilution of the Motherland) have organized a protest at Sivaputhagam Palace at 6:00 AM. The event posted on their LoL page has shown over 10000 confirmed attendees. The prescence of ATS, a minorly influential interest group in the Rajya Sabha, may possibly influence the outcome of tomorrow's vote.

Freedomnomian Government Decries Rise in Socialism, Communism

0023 Prime Minister Abadi issued a statement today calling on the international community to take steps in preventing the further spread of communism and socialism across the Western Isles.

"It is well known that communism is little more than a legal method of oppression, and socialism the economic means to that end. It was hoped by our founding fathers that in a post Soviet world, such systems would be rejected peacefully, but it seems that such systems are in the ascendant. I call upon the free men of the world to stand against this threat to our most cherished
ideals

The statement comes several days after Bhikkustan fell to a communist regime and in the midst of growing tensions in San Javier.

New Doman Artifacts Found!

In Voyageur renovations are going splendid. Almost 80% of those affected by the Doman Invasion last year have received some form of permanent shelter and a stable income. And while that is being done, excavations of the forgotten Doman kingdom continue in the outskirts and in the bay.

However, up until now only buildings and leveled areas have been found. However, digging up what is believed to be an old Doman Church, archeologists have found a hidden chamber, untouched by man until now. Inside they found a few small items. Some wooden untencils, an old wooden stool. But, underneath and old fabric was found one of the greatest discoveries of Doman Archeology.




The archeologists found an ancient ceramic pot with a variation of traditional Doman texts etched into the side, and within the bowl, a rusted copper Doman Ankh. This thrilled the cultural preservation division and the two artifacts have been ordered to be documented, packed up, and shipped to the Doman History Museum in Dowlwind. This will take a few days and once they arrive, they are to be studied.

This proves that this ancient, forgotten kingdom were true believers in the Doman faith. How this kingdom fell and what it was like is still a mystery. But, this hidden chamber shows us that there may be more to explore.

Premier Simok Daokham gives Press Brief this Afternoon

Premier Simok Daokham gave a Press Brief this afternoon in relation to a few updates that have come up since his Speech yesterday. This focused on three items that have come up regarding the nations of Randmar, Bhikkustan, and Freedomnonia. The first part was in regards to Randmar, a nation which recently announced that it will be assuming control of the Southern Argus Canal. A delegation was sent in the past week, which was welcomed with open arms, in order to discus this assumption of control. Evidently the delegation went well as Urazawa and Randmar signed the SACNT, the Southern Argus Canal Neutrality Treaty.

"The nation of Randmar is an honorable nation. Us Urazawans can be safely assured that Urazawan shipping will not be unfairly blocked by nations unfriendly to us. Randmar is a nation where what you are doesn't matter, but what you can do does matter. Even though it is Capitalist, it is more like us than many other nations. In the end Urazawa blesses Randmar's assumption of control but states that any attempt to take the canal from Randmar with force shall be met by Urazawan resistance."

Location of the Southern Argus Canal in regards to Urazawa and Randmar

Moving onto Bhikkustan, which was covered yesterday, he announced that the House of Consuls agreed to begin taking on Bhikkustanni refugees.

"As a fellow member of the ISDP, Urazawa has a duty to help out its fellow Dharmic peoples in the region. We cannot just leave this up to Bhumidol and Athara Magarat, it is our duty to also help these unfortunate souls. It is our hope that once Bhikkustan is stabilized we can help these peoples get back to their homes, but I am sure that all us Urazawans will make our fellow Dharmic people feel at home here in Urazawa."

Finally he moved onto Freedomnonia, a nation which sent a jab at communism. He calmly stated that some nations can only see communism through a dirty lens, dusted by the sands of history, and that it might be time for them to clean it off. For them to see what communism has become, that it has become much better than it or Capitalism ever was, and that the happiness of Urazawa should be testamount to it.

Bhikkustani Refugee Act Rejected by Rajya Sabha - Political Infighting Ensues

14:37, Rajadhani - In the daily sreetesam to the general public, a Sivaputhagam Palace spokesperson told the media that the Rajya Sabha, "overwhelmingly rejected the refugee act", by a margin of 43(YEA)-151(NAY)-6(ABSTENTION). In a public statement, Ganaraja Bodhai expressed, "dissappointement [at members of the Rajya Sabha] for failing to fullfill commitments to [our allies]". The Committee of Market Analysis in the Rajya Sabha additionally chastised the members of the legislature for, "failing to consider the impact of the nation's population problem on the economy".

Members of ATS (Anabhumaidol Tangukara Samskrti - Bhumhalese Against the Cultural Dilution of the Motherland) protest outside of Sivaputhagam Palace. The vote in the Rajya Sabha was believed to have shifted against the favor of the act due to the pressure applied by ATS protestors

Each of the political parties staked out vastly divergent claims. Members of the Communist Party of Bhumidol, and the Happy Rainbow Path Party voted overwhelmingly for the act. Padma Maghalrajya, MRS for Gaia Nikaya, and the current General-Secretary of the Communist Party stated, "it is a humanitarian obligation for our nation to help those who have less, and to end the prevading capitalist system of exploiting and opressing the poor from less developed nations. It is not only disappointing that our legislature turned down the act, but equally dispicable that only 2500 refugees have been considered".

Members of the National Peace & Progress Party and the Green Party, who form the current United Bhumidol ruling coalition, wholly rejected the act. Every member of NPP in parliament rejected the refugee act, while only 4 out of 36 members of the Green Party voted for the act. "Bhumidol is a very different country. If you can't hold a proper job, you're not going to survive very long in our great nation", said Aishwarya Bodhisinha, an NPP MRS from Amravarti. "The act lacked any proper protocol for ensuring the refugees get jobs and become productive members of society", said Lokeshvara Pradhan, a Green Party MRS from Uttar Brahmada. "The act seemed as though it had not only been inconsiderate of the desires of the Bhumhalese people, but also of the welfare of the Bhikkustani refugees".

Paravan Yudhavan, the current majority leader of the NPP in the Rajya Sabha said that, "the chamber will be willing to reconsider the act if the number of refugees is [made more acceptable], the types of refugees are reconsidered, and a proper pathway for citizenship and economic stability for the refugees is made apparent".

The Randmar Government has announced that the southern Argus Canal has been secured by the Randmarian forces deployed earlier this month, the Canal is currently operating under the Host supervision but plans are underway to turn it over to a civilian organization. The acquisition has been meet with little resistance by the international community much to the surprise of several analyst here in Randmar. So far only civilian ships are being allowed through the canal until a proper Canal Authority can be created, but the Sovereignty has assured the world that this is only a temporary measure.

To further cement it's commitment to the fair and equal use of the canal the Sovereignty is proposing the Southern Argus Canal Neutrality Treaty to be signed by any nation which wishes to partake. SACNT will ensure the fair operation of the Canal in times of peace and war regardless of the users nation of origin so long as they respect the Port Authority's ability to operate. Despite this fact funds earned by the Canal will be directed to the Randmar National Bank whom will hold the majority of the Canal's stocks, no further information of its financial running have been released much to the chagrin of Economic analyst here.

Recently Daren Cole's daughter Bailey Cole, a well liked and growing celebrity in the country noted for her support of worker organized business has recently graduated from the University of Wegsien with a degree in international politics. She was immediately given a job as an Ambassador with the Department of foreign Affairs and in an act of superb good faith Cole has assigned his daughter to the Sovereignty's long time ally, Bhumidol. Some question this move stating that her inexperience could jeopardized the important trade relations between the two countries.

Recognizing these fears Government officials have assured the people that the original diplomatic staff on site will remain to support her; in fact the previous Ambassador Kyle Vals has requested to remain at the Bhumidol Embassy as a 'Senior Staff Member' for the newly appointed Ambassador. Some people belief that Mr. Vals was forced to take the position to maintain prior contacts and efficiency while Cole's daughter merely assumed the position and took credit, while Vals continued to be the de facto Ambassador.

This suggestion was quickly squashed by Bailey Cole herself who with a typical Coleism flair, took the microphone from her father at a press conference when this accusation was brought up and defended herself. She made it clear that Vals volunteered to remain behind as part of his national duty, with no cohesion on her fathers part and that she would not be sitting by idly in her role as Ambassador. The Cole Supporters in the crowd were overwhelmed with their usual cheering at this statement and display of a stereotypical Cole like attitude by his daughter; others particular well known Blue and Red party members looked on nervously at the growing support Cole's entire family was receiving by the public.

Protesters are outside the Chancellor's Office and Mansion. Demanding that he not sign the bill. The Chancellorship Candidate Wendy Endalberg who says she wouldn't sign it since it lowers the workforce and lower the population.

Embassies Established with The Empire of the Rising Cross and Bhikkustan
Karahar has established two embassies with some of the nations in The Western Isles. Tirug Humaret was last seen in Karahar shaking Dil Howlter, the Rising Cross ambassador's hand, and stepping onto the plane to Rising Cross. Two days earlier Togh Agujam flew over to Bhikkustan, just 20 minutes before Bayar Buyantu of Bhikkuustan arrived. These two embassies should open up a world for Karahar, as we shall be able to trade and make deals with more areas. The ambassadors will be staying in local hotels in the countries until the embassies have been constructed. Construction teams have been send over.

New Exhibition Opened in National Museum
A new exhibition on the ancient nomads has opened, with everything ranging from an area to learn how to set up a ger, or a room that has a mechanical horse that you can ride on, and even try to shoot bows while on it. This exhibition also demonstrates the courage and strategy of the nomads during the Chinese invasion. It also has a whole area just on the horses, and the amount of strain they must have felt. This has been praised by animal activists all around Karahar. The Sığınağı arazi museum is the only one in Karahar and is therefore very very big. The museum is approximately 150m by 120. It features exhibits on nearly all Karaharian topics, as well as an international section. It is a must go to if you are thinking of visiting Karahar.

Chancellor Sigt on the Vindersaüm Riots
Earlier this week, Riots against the Heavily Socialist Government in Vindersaüm has gotten a stance from the Government and the Chancellor. The Federal Government's Stance on the matter was that it would deploy the National Guard if the Riots turned more aggressive and violent while the Chancellor's Stance was the Following:"I understand why People are Protesting, and they have a Constitutional Right To Protest against the Government. Which the Local Government of Vindersaüm tried to take away. But they do not have any right to riot, for it causes harm, it causes the People to turn more aggressive, and with the riots in Saint Fredrick in 2013, Even Murder and Arson. Which is why I stand with the rest of the Government in activating the national guard in case of more aggression and violence. Remember my Citizens, You have a right to protest PEACEFULLY, not to Protest Violently."

Chancellor Steven Sigt addressing his fellow Citizens to protest peacefully

When The Chancellor was asked questions about the Vindersaüm Government, he avoided them which have led many to believe he is behind the city's Socialist Party ruled Government. He denies of course, but many have stopped rioting in Vindersaüm and more Peacefully Protesting.

CIVIL UNREST RISES AS PRESIDENT BATAR INTRODUCES MORE SOCIALIST POLICIES
Civil Unrest Grows more as Newly Sworn in President Asim Batar makes the country more and more socialist. "The reason we have a Democracy is so that we get a voice in the Government, and we say that the President isn't doing what he said he would" Says Protester Akim Ginegra. There is no doubt in New Oranistan that the country leans more and more towards Socialism. With the country on the brink of Civil War, and a Terrorist Organization bent on Total Domination of New Oranistan the President finds himself between a rock and a hard place. As Millions brace for War, The Federal Government has Started Mobilizing their Military. They say it's for attacking the Terroists on Oranistanian Soil, but some believe the Government is also preparing for a Civil War. With Limited Imformation from both sides, and a possible Civil War right around the corner, it's not much wonder that Citizens have started to Take their lives to other countries in The Western Isles.

President passes controversial law banning abortion.

President Hermann Aderzen Jr. has recently passed a new law that may affect women across Ludzirgreb. The governments victory and libertarian parties, both holding conservative and right-wing views on the issue, have dominated the vote for this new bill. The bill states that any baby that is in a woman, cannot be killed at any time, and the law also states that the nations previous law on abortion, will be repealed. The law was passed just today by Pres. Aderzen, and King Otto II has declared the law as reasonable for the nation and does not interfere with the national identity of ludzirgreb. The Justices have already reviews the law just minutes ago, and have all declared it as fountationic. The law, however, had been recently blasted by feminists across ludzirgreb. The law also has caused the closings of 5 women's hospitals, all of which allowed abortion before one month. Multiple churches however, have thanked the government for their actions. One priest said " The murdering that these hospitals have been doing for years, is once again banned like any other murder."

CARPESTAN BRACES ITSELF FOR HISTORIC INTERNATIONAL MEETING

With the anticipated arrival of foreign dignitaries from five other countries for the historic TALON negotiations, Potestas has found itself in a whirlwing climate for the past few days. The TALON negotiations, meant to negotiate the terms of trade between Carpestan and other liberal republican nations, are to be held within three days' time after an elaborate ceremony of introduction in the morning at the Presidential Complex, followed by a brief tour of Potestas before the negotiations actually begin in the Femryk Administrative Building. Word has it that the latest arrival shall be arriving within two days' time.

This will mark the first time in over 20 years that Carpestan will have hosted a foreign dignitary and perhaps the largest gathering of foreign leaders in its history. President Nicole Rodgers conveyed her enthusiasm for this event, saying:

It is a great honor for me, in my lifetime, to oversee this opportunity to strengthen our nation and put it back in a strong spot once more. Our history has not been an easy one these past three decades. So many of us have suffered from the nightmare of a dictator and the heartbreak of an oligarch, that many of us felt fractured, felt lost. But, as I talk to Carpestanis across the land now, I sense a rejuvenation of our national pride and optimism.

Furthermore, we are so grateful to be able to coordinate relationships on a much grander scale, either with countries we have a history with or those we look forward to building relations with. To all the foreign leaders who are coming here in three days' time, I give you the warmest of welcomes from the bottom of my heart.

President Kruglov to move Capitol From Al Assad To Kupira City
Later this month President Sergei Kruglov will move the Nation's Capitol City from Al Assad to Kupira City. Al Assad, which has been the capitol of New Oranistan for Decades, from the Ancient Renovian Empire to the Federal Republic of Oranistan during our Revolution, Al Assad has been the Capital for all of them, sure through different names, but it was always the same city. Kupira City was recently founded on the Small Island just North of New Oranistan named Kupira Island. The Small City has a population of just about 3000 Citizens. President Kruglov gave this Explanation.

"The Reason for this action, which many of you think is idiotic, is because of an overcrowding Populace. We all love Al Assad, our Capitol of Many Things, such as Culture, Art, Our Politics, Our History, and Many More. But the City has too many people. That's why we are moving our Capitol to Kupira City. It has less people, and more available space for our buildings. But regardless whether you like it or not, we're moving. But remember, we are still New Oranistanians".

Protesters have appeared outside Kubierto Palace to keep the Government from Changing the Capitol City. They have been confronted by the New Oranistan Federal Police and The People's Armed Guard to Disperse or at least to not be so close to Kubierto Palace. The Protesters Refused so they were pushed back by the NOFP and Fired at with Rubber Bullets by the TPAG. That and Pepper Sprayed while the AAFD Turned on A The Water Hoses and fired at them. Over 300 of 540 Protesters were arrested by Multiple Police Forces. Many on the Exiled very tiny island of Juna called this a Civil Rights Violation but nobody hears them, so nobody cares.

Following negotiations with other nations SACNT has been expanded and earned several new signatories further legitimatizing Cole's actions in the public's eyes and assuaging fears over a negative response which many in the country had openly stated as being unwilling to face. In regards to the newly christened Denz Canal it is once again operational under the Denz Canal Authority an International Company that was spawned by National Bank once the area was secured by the military. With the canal operating as expected the military is returning home, triumphantly in the eyes of the Grey Party and further entrenched in the eyes of the Red party.

The most surprising thing of to come of the SACNT and DCA was the appointment of Thomas Denz as the DCA's CEO. Thomas Denz is a noted foreignphile in a family of foreignphiles making him a good choice to have a position of authority when dealing with so many international elements. On the other hand the entire family has a very well known Anti-Grey and consequentially Anti-Cole stance which when combined with their limited economical and political clouts discounting currying favors with the family, leaves one to wonder why Cole would choose Thomas Denz when other possibly more administration friendly options existed for the position.
