Marshal Iuna Scadi and TMPL's First Secretary Teca Viltin agree on a cease-fire on Cane Islo

It has been reported that the current dictator of Lesva Marshal Iuna Scadi and First Secretary of the Throngist Movement Party of Lesva (TMPL) Teca Viltin have gotten into contact with other. Scadi is currently on his ongoing nationwide tour, this time being the city of Antrailen in south-western Lesva close to the barbwire-covered demarcation line separating the militant-occupied Acean, which also contains the presence of Balniki peacekeepers there, from the rest of Lesva. The specific location of Viltin is not known for sure, but most likely the current reformist leader of TMPL is still in Najimam, where TMPL relocated to from Lesva after the Lesvan Revolution ousted the Throngist dictatorship from power in Lesva and the Scadi regime now rules. It is possible Scadi remains in Antrailen and Viltin is in Najimam, where the TMPL itself might still be staying, awaiting for their loyalist forces that fought in the post-Revolutionary conflict in Lesva and for the pro-Throngist mutineers to take control of Cane Islo before the TMPL could once again settle there. It is likely that Scadi and Viltin were connected through an international call between Lesva and Najimam.

In a similar, admittedly productive ability to negotiate and compromise, which the two had also managed to demonstrated in resolving the post-Revolutionary conflict, Scadi and Viltin agreed on an immediate cease-fire between the security forces of the Scadi regime on one side and the Throngist loyalist forces on the other. The pro-Throngist mutineers were likewise talked into agreeing to a cease-fire with Scadi and Viltin both getting into contact with the unofficial command of the mutineers and talking them into it. Reportedly, Scadi applied pressure by saying a largely military offensive could be used in the case of cease-fire rejection, while Viltin managed to talk fellow Throngists or Throngist sympathizers into a cease-fire through a manner of simple convincing.

The cease-fire was agreed on verbally with no agreed upon changes on territorial holdings. Scadi's security forces will retain what they currently control, while the pro-Throngist mutineers and Throngist loyalist forces will retain what they control. Yesterday, before today's cease-fire agreement by Scadi and Viltin, the Lesvan dictator said that the TMPL, who Scadi, even before getting into contact with Viltin, said had led the advance by the pro-Throngist mutineers and the Throngist loyalists on Cane Islo, had violated the Sauron Declaration of Cease-Fire and the Sauron Cease-Fire Treaty. The Sauron agreements are now null and void according to the Scadi regime, so most likely the cease-fire would now have to be formalized by new treaties and talks. Right now, only verbal cease-fire is in effect, but the experience and precedent of the post-Revolutionary conflict shows that those have the ability to hold up between these specific belligerents even without being signed on paper. In parallel, the sudden break-out of conflict on Cane Islo shows that even written legal agreements into force do not guarantee total peace either. Stay tuned for updates.

  • Ousted President Puicu Gevin: "A bounty by the Balniki fascists against me and my associates is the highest moral honor, because it confirms that we are fighting on the side of good against evil."

  • Ex-Prime Minister Pagala Ira: "The latest report at the Isles Freedom Network about Balnik's Ragtaz possibly being behind the murders of our associates in Dociara sheds new light on the situation. Previously, agents and spies of Throngist Lesva's MISS were the primary suspects of being behind the death of our friend and colleague Asi Spoda, but we will now add the Ragtaz to the list of suspects. Of course, Spoda's murder would have to be a matter of investigation for law enforcement, because we are not going to be setting up an investigative commission like we did for the Fever Papers."

Online News - 19 March 2024



Government seeks ƒ200 million for drugs crackdown


LOCHDARLECK - The Mairish government has proposed a sweeping drug enforcement program to the General Legislature as part of its 2024-25 budget request, highlighting growing concerns over the importation of illegal drugs into the country.

The Jarrett administration included a request for ƒ200 million, or approximately 155 million ISD, to the House of Freemen yesterday during its annual presentation of federal budget proposals. The unprecedented sum would be earmarked "to fund new programs to prevent the importation of proscribed substances into Mairland."

Finance Minister Robert Chalman directed a request for comment to the National Police Administration. An NPA spokesman subsequently told the IRBC that the proposal "reflected the President's commitment to protecting Mairlanders from dangerous and lethal drugs."

It remains unclear what form any new federal law enforcement agency would take. The NPA informed the IRBC that consultations over the structure of a new agency "would take place in time," once the entire budget has been negotiated.

The Jarrett administration's proposal reflects rising concerns over drug use in Mairland. Customs police in recent years have seized shipments of cocaine and heroin, which are both prohibited under Mairland's severe "proscription" laws, from international freighters inbound to the country from Argus and Gael. A 2023 study, meanwhile, estimated that marijuana use in Mairland is at an all-time high; marijuana, although not under an especially severe penalty, remains illegal in Mairland.

Speaking at his residence last month, President William Jarrett said that Mairland would work with its neighbor Verska, which has extremely strict anti-drug laws, to solve the problem through the framework of the Southern Sea Treaty Organization. Jarrett indicated that the Navy would be used to search some commercial ships inbound to Mairland, sparking immediate backlash from lawyers, business groups, and members of the opposition parties in the General Legislature.

Christian political pressure groups applauded the proposal. "We welcome this new action by the administration - we will always seek to protect our children and preserve our social values," said a spokeswoman for the Mairish Association of Christian Parents. "Some people want to let the drugs come in, but, like, the government isn't going along with that," said a man who was interviewed leaving church in the capital.


Trial begins for royal treasure looter


ROSRANSHIEL - A federal trial began today for the man who allegedly robbed a 15th-century Mairish royal mausoleum, stealing millions of dollars worth of gold and precious jewels.

Andrew Thomson, 33, of Dalranmara, Old Kingdom province, is accused by federal prosecutors of breaking into the tomb of King Magnus VII by night in June 2021. He allegedly stole ƒ3 million in medieval gold ornaments and jewelry, including a 4-inch sapphire stone, a solid gold table ornament shaped like a sailing ship, and a miniature golden St. Michael with a pearl on the tip of his spear.

Prosecutors from the Ministry of Justice unveiled these and other lurid details in court today. Thomson's trial opened in Rosranshiel, capital of Old Kingdom province, where he has been held in jail since his arrest in January 2023. Thomson was arrested after attempting to sell medieval artifacts for hundreds of thousands of International Standard Dollars online.

Thomson's lawyers argued that he had merely acted as a "fence", or middleman, between another man and potential online customers. The defense claimed in their opening statement that Thomson had taken the blame for this second individual, the real thief, and that CCTV footage from that evening had been used unjustly to identify Thomson. In their opening statement, which came after reading the list of charges, the prosecution rebutted these claims, saying that provincial police had identified Thomson's fingerprints in the royal tomb.

The federal government assumed responsibility for Thomson's prosecution last summer from the provincial Chief Prosecutor. Federal officials successfully argued that Thomson must be tried by a federal judge, as King Magnus' tomb is a national heritage site.

The case has drawn wide attention in Mairland, with online conspiracies suggesting that Thomson was also responsible for a string of still-unsolved break-ins in Old Kingdom province during 2020. One victim identified Thomson as his assailant during a viral TV interview, saying that Thomson had smashed a coffee maker over his head before fleeing the house.

Taking account of the case's viral status, Judge John P. Grisham gave strict instructions to the jury, warning them to abstain from Internet usage for the duration of the trial under penalty of heavy fines. Speaking to reporters tonight, Thomson's defense team complained about "unfounded speculation" over his past actions, saying that it would influence the jury against their client.

Tarasenko Moroz captured in Verska during a joint Yektosk-Verskan operation


Following the end of the short civil war in Yektov, Moroz was found guilty of voter fraud and bribery. However he escape to a unknown country, and officials could not find him for several weeks. After a interview with the Yektov Special Operations Forced (YSOF), it is revealed that on the 14th they believed to have found where he was hiding. Last night they launched a raid on his private mansion he had bought in Verska. The raid was successful, and Moroz is to appear in court this weekend on the 23rd. Moroz fled to Verska sometime between February 2nd anf February 5th, it is unknown exactly when however he left to the nation. His last appearance in Yektov was on February 2nd, where security footage shows him leaving a local Kypka‘s in downtown Nolsk at 5:34pm. It is unknown when exactly he left to Verska, however it was sometime after that date. Moroz is believed to have fled to Verska by plane. After a review of footage from the Verskan International Aiport, it was found Moroz could briefly be seen near the airport bar on February 5th, 6:31am. Until recently, that was the last known appearance of him. On the 14th the YSOF believed that they found him in a privately owned mansion on the coast of the Takalr province of Yektov. Last night, a squad of 7 YSOF members entered Moroz‘s home at 7:39pm through a balcony. Moroz had several guards in the building, and a shooting soon occurred. 2 YSOF members were fatally killed, however the other 5 made it to Moroz‘s bedroom at 7:51pm. Moroz was taken into custody by the YSOF members and the Verskan police who had shown up to the scene. After spending the night in a Verskan jail, Moroz is currently on a flight back to Yektov. He will appear in court later this weekend. After further searching it was found that Moroz had changed his name to Amuk Aman, and had already started a job at a Verskan banking company. It was also found that Moroz had several drugs on him that were illegal in both Verska and Yektov.

Even though the arrest only took place last night, the news is already spreading like wildfire schoss Yektov. Premier Andrij has not made any statements yet. Kuzma Romanovych, the current Zakonnyk following Moroz‘s removal from power, made a statement this morning saying “Moroz has been nothing been criminal and burden to the people of Yektov. Tax dollars went straight to his pockets, and he signed bills and policies that kept him in power and only hurt Yektov.” she said during a interview with the Dalsk times. A Verskan officer on the scene, who has chosen to remain anonymous, made the following statement “At first we were unsure if this guy, Amuk Aman, was actually Moroz. Some early investigation from our police departement led to the conclusion that Amuk Aman was just an odd person, not a foreign wanted man. The YSOF members who worked with us proved to be vital in this operation. Those who had lost their live, YSOF or Verskan police members, will be remembered for their bravery”. The names of the two YSOF members killed in the operation remain classified, as the YSOF maintains a policy of not releasing a agents name until 6 months after there death. Minister Kolisnyk Vsevolod, who oversees the YSOF, made a statement saying “The operation to capture a Moroz was clearly a success. However the two fatalities are a heavy weight for everyone, including myself, who was involved in the operation directly or indirectly. It is good to know that Moroz will not cause anymore harm to the people of Yektov once he is in prison”. The mansion Moroz was staying in is currently under investigation of the YSOF, and several more illegal drugs were found across the building, adding to a new theory that Moroz was getting himself involved into the illegal underworld of Verska. The mansion is still under investigation and more information is sure to be found about Moroz and how he was able to hide from the YSOF.

Marshal Iuna Scadi confirms cease-fire on Cane Islo

Marshal Iuna Scadi confirms that a cease-fire has been reached with pro-Throngist mutineers and Throngist loyalist forces on Cane Islo


Marshal Iuna Scadi resumes a nationwide tour across the Lesvan State. The National Leader is completing a visit to the city of Antrailen and is preparing to head to Vesieux next, while stopping at towns along the way. While still in Antrailen, Marshal Iuna Scadi conversed with a crowd of citizens and confirmed that there has been an agreement reached on a cease-fire on Cane Islo. The agreement was reached through dialogue with those representing the armed elements, specifically the pro-Throngist mutineers from our country's armed forces and the loyalist forces of the former Throngist regime, who launched a counter-revolution against the Lesvan Revolution to restore the authority of the former Throngist regime. Cane Islo was the first victim of this counter-revolutionary armed aggression.

Speaking with a crowd of citizens in Antrailen, Marshal Iuna Scadi stated:

"Cane Islo is now once again in a state of de facto peace, although legitimate order is not in effect on our country's sole island, because a portion is controlled by our security forces and another portion is controlled by the pro-Throngist mutineers and Throngist loyalists. The Sauron agreements are now non-existent, but this verbal cease-fire will now have to be made official by new negotiations and new agreements. Until then, the cease-fire will stay in effect."

TMPL announces relocation to the captured island of Cane Islo and a continuation of the overthrown Throngist government there


Image


Flag/Logo/Emblem of the Throngist Movement Party of Lesva (TMPL).


Without waiting for anything, the Throngist Movement Party of Lesva (TMPL) is using a window of opportunity that has developed with the capture of Cane Islo, Lesva's only island, by the pro-Throngist military mutineers and Throngist loyalists, as well as a cease-fire that was agreed on yesterday between the current regime in Saela and TMPL, in order to relocate back to Cane Islo. The relocation is taking place now, despite the risk of the Scadi regime still being able to strike the island, as the current cease-fire is only verbally agreed on and not backed up or enforced by any signed agreements. Moreover, the Scadi regime most likely did not expect, like anyone else, that TMPL would be unilaterally returning to a captured territory without permission, which could only make TMPL a comfortable and important target.

TMPL fled to Najimam following the Lesvan Revolution, which overthrew the Throngist regime. Now, First Secretary of the Throngist Movement Party of Lesva (TMPL) Teca Viltin, who agreed with the current regime's head Marshal Iuna Scadi on a cease-fire yesterday after the two got into contact, has announced today that TMPL was returning from Najimam to the "liberated" Cane Islo and will be setting up the overthrown Throngist government there, thus de jure continuing the Throngist Republic on Cane Islo, while the mainland stays under Scadi regime's control.

The announcement went as follows:

"Fellow, compatriots,

As First Secretary of the Throngist Movement Party of Lesva, I am responsibly declaring that our party is relocating to the liberated territory of Cane Islo. On our nation's sole island, we will be setting up the legal continuation of our party's government, which was illegally removed in a coup. On Cane Islo, as the single part of our nation was freed, the legitimate order will now continue. We will be reinstating the Basic Statute of the Throngist Republic of Lesva and we will govern Cane Islo under the Basic Statute. We are not going to be commenting on our intentions from there on, because despite our convictions that ours is the legitimate order to govern the Lesvan nation, we will not seek to advance further, since we want to preserve the difficult truce with the forces in control of the capital Saela.

However, I must confirm that not all of us will be able to return to Cane Islo to continue the legal government of our party. Recently, the regime in Balnik, a former ally of the Throngist Republic of Lesva, but in reality an imperialist power that wanted to make our country subordinate, has issued arrest warants for a number of our associates. There is no guarantee they would be safe upon their return to Cane Islo that Cane Islo is protected enough from Balniki advances and neither are we sure that the current regime in Saela would withstand Balniki pressure or even a request to go after our associates, should they return to Cane Islo together with us. After all, with no continued wish of our own, Cane Islo and the mainland remain within the jurisdiction of the United Federation of Gael and the Eastern
Tripartite (ET). Therefore, only myself and our other associates, who do not have arrest warrants issued against them, shall return to Cane Islo to continue Throngist governance on the liberated island. The rest of our associates would return once there is a guarantee we can protect them. Because we are going to govern Cane Islo, Balniki arrest warrants will not hold any weight here now and we have a lot of doubts about the future of the United Federation's or ET's jurisdiction continuing on Cane Islo as well.

Until that moment, we are extending our deepest gratitude to our friends in Najimam for giving us a sanctuary in their country, before we could return home in the way we did.
"

Marshal Iuna Scadi says that Throngist control of Cane Islo is illegal, but a cease-fire would remain

Marshal Iuna Scadi states that the "continuation" of the Throngist government on Cane Islo is illegitimate, as all of the Lesvan State remains under Social Authority, but that military action would not be used to expel the Throngists, upholding the cease-fire


Marshal Iuna Scadi has arrived in Vesieux, the next stop that is part of the National Leader's continuing nationwide tour. Like the previous visited city Antrailen, the currently visited city Vesieux is likewise nearby the militant-occupied part of the region of Acean. In Vesieux, Marshal Iuna Scadi engaged with local citizens and immediately addressed the announcement by the Throngist side of the recently developed conflict on Cane Islo:

"I want to assure our people that Cane Islo along with the mainland and the Lesvan State in general are all governed by the Social Authority. Even if the voices of the former regime are claiming that they had re-established themselves on one part of our country, which they now supposedly govern, it is not the case. The Lesvan State remains integral under the Socai Authority with our country being ruled by our citizens directly. Fact is that the Throngists now hold Cane Islo under their control, but that does not mean we recognize it as legitimate reality. We will be applying the same principle towards Cane Islo under Throngist control as we are applying to the occupied part of the Aceanian region under the National Socialist regime of the militants that seized control there. We are going to resolve the issues around those parts of the country through political means, while retaining the cease-fire in effect. We do not need a civil war and we have shown the capability in the post-Revolutionary period to resolve conflicts differently. As for the people, nobody gets left behind and we will ensure that our compatriots in Cane Islo and in the occupied part of Acean will have the freedom to move, including to leave those territories to the rest of our country."

ELECTION: RIGGED OR NOT?

9th of March, 2024:
Written By: V.G.M


Many conspiracy theories has come and often regarded as a fact in the glorious Vacrusian theocracy, including the conspiracy of the Vacrusian election being rigged. This conspiracy theory first started in the internet, popularized by the group "X-Files Exchange" or often called "X-Files". The group was notorious for its often weird conspiracy theories that's obviously a hoax, including the conspiracy theory of the Vacrusian election being rigged. The group was also the biggesy theory group in all of Vacrus, being so popular in fact, a few of their members was actually recruited into the rankings of the Vacrusian government.

The conspiracy theory of the Vacrusian election being rigged by the so called Conspiracy Theorists was obviously some dumb theories that have the purpose of misleading the unknowing people of Vacrus and to brainwash the people of Vacrus into thinking the election being rigged and the government cannot be trusted in such demand. The theory was also popularized by one of the former representative of the no longer existed Union of Communists Party (UCP), Horranes Phalcenorachosen, on which he stated "How people are so oblivious and easily brainwashed by the evil and sinister Vacrusian government? Before we tried to make the state of Vacrus better by bringing peace and improve the living standard of the nation, but we lost as a result of not getting enough supplies from both domestic and foreign help. Now the Vacrusians believed that we are the evil, while it was so obvious that the true evil of the theocracy was the government itself, the master they call was the true villain and antagonist of the Vacrusian state. The election was just a coverup to the flaw the Vacrusian government had, the election was rigged for an obvious winner, the government had rigged it all just to coverup their mistakes and proceed not to either apologize or even being transparent towards what they do and done."

This was later responded by one of the representatives of the Union of Christian Democrats (UCD) Party, Ralenves Asnocharionavarenote, he stated "If the Vacrusian election is rigged, then why the Vacrusian election is very rushed? And also the fact that the current situation of the state of Vacrus that just start recovering from a civil war, it would be dumb to immediately appointed a new Prime Minister or a Temporary Leader to lead the nation, as the Pope is basically the temporary leader until a new Prime Minister was elected. More proof the election being unrigged was the Election Responsiblity Agency, or ERA for short. This agency was dedicated into taking care for any Vacrusian election, whether its a large scale like prime minister election, a medium scale like governor election, or even a small scale election like a mayor election. You can basically ask any of the ERA member and they will say the same thing, and that's "The elction is not rigged". If you look at the current state of the election right now, many become the signs that the Vacrusian election is not rigged whatsoever, for example, Restale gaining many voters after his speech and Larenstad electricity getting less and less by day. Overall this conspiracy theory is just stupid and those who has mislead people must apologize to the public."

Even before the conspiracy theory arise in the internet, the theory has been a thing since the announcement that Vacrus will have a election. It grow very rapidly and managed to brainwash the many living people of Vacrus, and caused a distrust towards the government from the people as a result of the misinformation being spread. Many of those who believe that the election was rigged, believe in one single thing that causes the uncertainty within the election. And that is being that each canditate was already designed to lose and having such weird antagonistic backstory and policies to be implemented in Vacrus. They believe that the election was rigged due to the low electability of Phorsen, they believed that Phorsen was rigged to lose and the government demanded Phorsen to lose in exchange for a higher position in the government and privilege gained from the election. Their source of the theory was Phorsen "antagonistic" and "weird" policies to be implemented, like the Promotion of Democracy that Phorsen said no to, and the Go International that Phorsen also said no to.

Many trustable sources like the Big 4 of Vacrusian News Programs (e.g: Lion News, United News, The Post, and VN News) have also claimed that the election was not rigged and will never be rigged. The electability of each canditate in each news program was determined by those who watch the program, and they are the one who vote the candidates, being a proof that the election was not rigged. More proof is the current electability of each canditate from each provinces, the electability of each canditate was very varying depending on the province and their influence towards the province, for example, people from Vyutne prefer to vote Restale over the other canditate because of the progressive policies and development the province had compared to other province. Another one was the electability of Phorsen in the province of Nischite compared to the other canditate, with a estimated of 42.8% electability on the province of Nischite, this was because the province of Nischite was notorious for many if not almost all its people joined the military, and the fact that Phorsen is a military general within the rankings.

A important thing to remember was that, everything you see on the internet cannot always be trusted, sometimes misinformation like this conspiracy theory can happen and occur. It is important to check the facts on these information you or your family found online, as if not checked, can brainwash you and your families as a result of the spreading misinformation. The Vacrusian Governmental Media (VGM) is trying to improve the online security of the Vacrusian people and to destroy such misinformation from spreading and brainwashing the innocent people of Vacrus. Remember, to not trust every thing you see online, keep safe and trust the government.

The Verska Paper




10th of Ramadhan 1445 || 21st of March 2024


Sago Farmers Works Hard While Fasting in Ramadhan

It's the tenth day of Ramadhan, the tenth day of fasting. While some of us have our job hours reduced since we are fasting, it is not the same with sago farmers. They still need to work hard processing the sago from raw products to varying kinds of finished goods. We have approached one of the farmers to interview them about this, "We are aware that working while fasting in Ramadhan is hard, but it is a necessary job. If we did not do it, what would people in Verska eat? Certainly not rice since it's rather expensive here."

The farmer then continued, "It is sure hard work, but it's a rewarding one. Someone needs to do it, and we'll do it regardless if it's very hard or challenging." The job is indeed very hard, as now in the harvest season, they have to work around 9-12 hours a day. While the working conditions are good, it still requires rather heavy labour and close attention to the machinery. Accident rate is still higher than other job in Verska, comparable to the fishermen.

We may see ourselves as having the hardest time, but sometimes it turns out that other people have it harder. It is wise to not only look to those who are successful but also to those who climb the ladder with only their hands. The Verska Paper now opens a donation for the farmers and fishermen of Verska, if you want to donate, please contact our headquarters in Gelişmiş Başkent through telephone or e-mail!

Tarasenko Moroz, a Wanted Man in Yektov, was Captured in Our Country

Readers might remember in our last newspaper about a peculiar man who bought a house, it turns out that this peculiar man, despite early investigation, is actually Tarasenko Moroz. For those who do not know about him, Tarasenko Moroz is a politician from Yektov who escaped from the country. Yektov, who had experienced a short civil war, searched for Moroz but had yet to apprehend him, until now.

A raid on Moroz's mansion in Takalr Province proved to be successful as the man himself was caught. The raid operation was done in cooperation between Verskan National Police and YSOF, the latter being Yektov Special Operations Force. Unfortunately, while the raid was successful, casualties were incurred by both the Verskan National Police and the YSOF.

Moroz hide his identity as Amuk Aman and worked in Verska, thus providing a good cover-up until he was discovered by YSOF. Not only that, a further investigation after the raid found that he was most likely embroiled in the underworld of Verska; illegal drugs were also found in his mansion. We hope that this will be a lesson for us all, and we hope that the brave police officers and YSOF members who did the raid will be remembered for their bravery.

Lesvan Revolutionary Army Navy moves closer to Cane Islo, but no military objectives are to be pursued

Marshal Iuna Scadi announces the movement of the vessels of the Lesvan Revolutionary Army Navy closer to Cane Islo, but no combat objectives or blockade are to be pursued


Marshal Iuna Scadi has arrived in Vesieux after completing a visit to city Antrailen and stopping by in towns along the way from Antrailen to Vesieux. Following a completion of the visit to Vesieux, the Marshal will be heading to Laimi next, also stopping in towns along the way from Vesieux. Garoire and Visicartu will then be left as two major final spots along the way, including towns along the way and in-between, before Marshal Iuna Scadi would return to the national capital Saela, completing the nationwide tour.

In Vesieux, Marshal Iuna Scadi announced that the Lesvan Revolutionary Army Navy has moved vessels towards Cane Islo, following the capture of the island by pro-Throngist mutineers and Throngist loyalists, along with the announcement by the Throngist Movement Party of Lesva that it would relocate to the captured Cane Islo to continue the old Throngist regime's rule there.

Marshal Iuna Scadi confirmed that the vessels would patrol closer to Cane Islo, but that there are no objectives for the Revolutionary Army Navy to blockade the island, regulate movement who comes in and comes out, not to mention combat operations to reclaim Cane Islo. The Social Authority is committed to the cease-fire agreed on. Marshal Scadi said that the Revolutionary Army's Navy would be focused more on ensuring that people can safely move out of the captured Cane Islo towards the mainland, in case they want or need to and to ensure that the Throngists holding the island would guarantee that right as well or face pressure.

Throngist Movement Party of Lesva (TMPL) sets up the Throngist government on the captured Cane Islo after relocating to the island

Throngist Movement Party of Lesva (TMPL) is moving forward with its' plans to set up the Throngist government back on Cane Islo after pro-Throngist mutineers and Throngist loyalists recently captured the island to an apparent non-verbal agreement from the Scadi regime in Saela, which reached a cease-fire with the old Throngist regime and does not seem to plan a fight to take back the island, using a similar strategy as with the militant-occupied part of Acean. At least, that is what the regime in Saela is declaring to be its' plan, which can turn out to be only a diversion to get the Throngists to lay down their guard and then to strike them unexpected.

Currently, Cane Islo, Lesva's sole island, is under the armed control of pro-Throngist mutineers, who were formally part of the new regime's military, but retained loyalty to the old Throngist regime, as well as the Throngist loyalist forces that fought on behalf of the Throngist regime during the conflict after the Lesvan Revolution, when the Throngists were ousted. The loyalist forces were believed to have largely left Lesva along with the Throngist Movement Party of Lesva (TMPL), when the latter relocated to Najimam in an agreement of peaceful relocation with the new Scadi regime. The loyalists intervened from the outside once the Throngist mutiny on Cane Islo broke out, but given that the loyalists appeared on Cane Islo almost immediately, suggests that they did not spontaneously intervene, but that this might have been a planned operation.

Given that the Balniki Federation issued arrest warrants for a number of old Throngist regime's officials, along with arrest warrants for some officials of the government-in-exile, the current TMPL First Secretary Teca Viltin has asked his associates not to return to Cane Islo just yet, given that Balnik or the new regime in Saela might tried to capture and extradite these Throngists, viewing Cane Islo as part of Lesvan jurisdiction and joint jurisdiction of the United Federation of Gael. According to the current information, Viltin is the only officially known leader in the current Throngist apparatus on Cane Islo, while the others would have to be confirmed later.

Stay tuned for updates.

Marshal Iuna Scadi to return to capital Saela on Monday after visiting the last three spots in the nationwide tour

Marshal Iuna Scadi, the National Leader, will be making a return to the national capital Saela after visiting Laimi, Garoire and Visicartu as the last three spots in the nationwide tour


Today, Marshal Iuna Scadi is in Laimi, one of the last three cities in the Lesvan State designated for the current nationwide tour before a return to the national capital Saela. Today, the Marshal will be in Laimi, tomorrow in Garoire and in Visicartu the day after tomorrow. What has become a tradition in the current nationwide tour, the towns on the way to and between the cities would be visited as well. Monday is when the National Leader is returning to the national capital Saela, having become acquainted with all the people and everything that is happening in our country. In Saela, the Marshal will lead the initiative of now taking on resolving all issues that the National Leader personally collected from all over the Lesvan State, as the Revolution has promised to the people. In Laimi, Marshal Iuna Scadi said that the current situation in the captured Cane Islo and in the captured part of Acean are now the primary points of focus for security reasons, but that does not mean it would detract from all the other affairs accurate to the Lesvan State right now.

Annaidhdiadh extremist calls for eradication of god-believers

Yesterday Angus Raibairstan called a rally in Eilean duine in which he blamed the Violetists and all others who worship god “the reason that this country is in the cursed place it is now”.
He has built up a group of Anaidhdiah that are attempting to remove all Violetists from the island via riots, these riots are suspected to be what killed the local Violetist priest and his wife.
Concern has been raised by the elections office who have released that Angus plans to run for president and they have to let him run “or we will be ruining the values that make Jamgen great”.

Dolores Walks Diplomatic Tightrope as Food Security Bill Nears Passage



Image
PM Rosaria Dolores at a Common Cause Party fundraiser event

by Rodrigo Parilla



Prime Minister Rosaria Dolores finds herself caught in a delicate balancing act as Resolution 31, a bill championed by her administration, nears ratification by the League of the Western Isles. The legislation,focusing on bolstering food and water security across the region, has garnered widespread support and is expected to pass in the coming days. However, for Saint Ardor del Alba, a micro-nation with a long-held tradition of neutrality, Resolution 31 presents both a diplomatic triumph and a potential political minefield.

While traditionally a quiet player on the international stage, the Dolores administration's spearheading of Resolution 31 signifies a growing international influence, a notable feat for the small nation. This success comes at a crucial time for the Prime Minister, who has recently faced criticism for her muted response to the ongoing political crisis in neighboring Takiv. Takivaj Chancellor Navke Tovhar's recent ousting in a no-confidence vote, following revelations of embezzled funds mysteriously finding their way into Saint Ardor del Alba's banking system, has placed Dolores under public scrutiny.

The Prime Minister has maintained that her government played no part in Tovhar's financial impropriety, but the scandal has tarnished her image as a champion of neutrality. The impending passage of Resolution 31, however, offers a much-needed opportunity to shift the narrative.

Supporters see it as a testament to Dolores' ability to navigate complex geopolitical issues while upholding Saint Ardor del Alba's core principles. The Prime Minister herself recently celebrated the popularity of the Resolution with rather triumphalist language: "Passage of Resolution 31 shows our nation's unwavering commitment to regional cooperation, particularly on issues as critical as food and water security. This is a victory for all citizens of the Western Isles, a demonstration of unity in the face of adversity."

With Resolution 31 poised for success, Prime Minister Dolores' approval ratings are likely to climb. However, her ability to maintain this positive momentum hinges on her ability to address both the international community's concerns about the Takiv scandal and the potential domestic anxieties surrounding Saint Ardor del Alba's historical neutrality. Dolores must walk a diplomatic tightrope, ensuring her administration's success while safeguarding her nation's carefully crafted position of impartiality.

Foreign-based Lesvan dissident musicians continue informational war against dictatorship through music


Image


Lesvan dissident musicians based in other countries outside of Lesva have reactivated their struggle against dictatorship in Lesva through art. Lesvan musicians abroad were very active during the Throngist period with anti-dictatorship music that could be interpreted as being against all forms of tyranny, but it could not be denied that at the time it was specifically directed at the Throngist regime. However, during the Lesvan Revolution and in the immediate period after it, the activity of Lesvan dissident musicians quieted down, being interpreted as musicians themselves picking sides and wishing to see what the Revolution results in. Since it is now clear that the Revolution replaced the collectivist Throngist dictatorship with the personalist Scadi dictatorship disguising itself as a direct democracy, Lesvan dissident musicians abroad, old ones and new ones, are once again creating new musical works, this time largely aimed at giving a soundtrack to a struggle against the new Scadi dictatorship in Lesva.

The Crow, Violet Lightning and Rigel, which are all musicians, musical acts or musical bands from the Lesvan diaspora abroad outside of Lesva, have recently released new music with lyrics clearly aimed against the new regime of Marshal Iuna Scadi in Lesva. Atma Iaca released a song "Animals", with the lyrics criticizing the dictatorship in Lesva, but also starting out with a bleak condemnation of humanity as a whole for tyranny, war and strife. Nevertheless, the song closes out with optimism for humanity as a species with a capacity for good, reflecting on liberty struggles against tyranny, diplomacy, cooperation, a pursuit to help one and other and to aspire for positive social change. Lesvan dissident nu-metal band Survival Instinct likewise released a new song "Primal Scream", which like Atma Iaca's song starts off with somewhat dark themes as well, making it seem like endless tyranny in Lesva will never end, as it results in one tyranny falling and being replaced by a new, thus destroying hope that the struggle can ever result in domination of liberty and true justice. Nevertheless, the song resuscitates hope for a better future with angrier lyrics about being "fed up" and being ready to carry on the fight for the cause of eventually receiving that long awaited liberty.

In Lesva itself, protest music and dissent among musicians likewise exists, but this type of resistance and criticism of the dictatorship through music is much more dangerous because of problems with freedom of speech and the regime going after those, who disagree. Nevertheless, a musical underground against the system still exists. Chain, a band that faced arrest under the former Throngist regime in Lesva for songs with lyrics criticizing that system at the time, continues to be active in the underground scene, trying to release music with criticism at the system, although it is more subtle, so it is not as easy for the regime to accuse Chain of dissenting. Despite the risk, other musicians and bands against the system likewise continue to appear in the local underground, as artists refuse to submit to fear of repression.

Congress Refuses to Increase Minimum Wage



Last week, the Congress reviewed and voted on a minimum wage increase, which was defeated 97-95, due to 8 key members of the Democratic People's Party being absent due to severe weather who have stated they would have voted for the bill. The bill was under review as per the constitutional obligations of the congress to review and implement a fair minimum wage. Approximately every 5 years for the last 40 years the government has increased the minimum wage, marking the first time in 35 years the minimum wage has not increased.

In 1980, the government established a minimum wage by act, which set the wage at ₺38/hour, the equivalent of ₺541 today ($5 in 1980). As inflation has increased, it was necessary to increase the minimum wage as well. Early governments believed in a higher minimum wage was necessary for the wellbeing of the people, but as time went on the increase did not keep up with national inflation, leading to a depreciation in the minimum wage value.

As of 2024, the minimum wage sits at ₺632 ($5.84) an hour. The new bill would have all businesses with 10 or more employees increase the minimum wage to ₺763.45 ($7.05) an hour by the end of the year, marking a 20.8% increase. This would have been the largest increase in 2010, which saw a 14.6% increase from 2005. The new increase was equivalent to 4.16% every year.

This bill was under fire by conservative new media for the last month, who strongly opposed the wage increase. Most sources claimed sticker shock frightened small and medium business owners, and would actively drive prices of common goods through the roof. With the price fluctuations of the Doman Trak, many were fearful that inflation would worsen by more than 3%, and render the overall increase moot. Liberal media sources reported however, that this would mostly affect government workers at the federal and provincial level. On average, the Doman worker makes between ₺1083 and ₺1408 ($10-13) and hour already at competitive rates, which includes governmental workers. The minimum wage increase would only directly affect the pay checks of around 12% of the work force.

FBC surveys saw that 76% of the country were in favor of the minimum wage increase, which contrasted against the close 97-95 vote. 8 members of the Democratic People's Party were unable to attend due to severe weather shutting down easy access. These congressmen voiced their opinions with FBC reporters, who say they would have voted for the bill, and would have enacted it. They have told our reporters that next year they plan to bring forward a revised bill to increase the wages, which would mark the first year to year increase.

The Virtaz Independent

Source: Coalition talks between NUP, TGP, NLP start to unravel
Virtaz, Takiv - Less than a week after Chancellor Tovhar's coalition government collapsed under the weight of allegations of financial misconduct, new coalition talks between the former main opposition party, the National Unity Party, as well as Tovhar's old coalition allies, the Takivaj Green Party and the National Liberty Party, have apparently fallen through. An anonymous source close to the negotiations has reported to the Independent that the NUP and NLP have rejected several key demands made by the TGP for them to join a new coalition. According to this source, those demands were implementing a strict carbon tax, the equal distribution of cabinet ministries to each party in the coalition, and the inclusion of gender-affirming care into the National Healthcare Program.

The three parties have remained silent to the press and the public on the potential of them forming a coalition. In the eyes of many political pundits and observers, a coalition between the NUP, TGP, and NLP is the most likely one to form with the current composition of Parliament. If Parliament is unable to form a new coalition on their own by 3 April, Chancellor Tovhar, who is serving in a caretaker capacity, can request a snap election from the King. Tovhar has previously announced that she will call a general election 'as soon as possible.'

The current polling data shows that the NUP is very far ahead of the PDR, with some polls putting the NUP at 37% of the vote. Seat calculations show that the NUP could gain as many as 185 seats in the General Assembly. The NUP's on again, off again coalition partner, the centrist-libertarian NLP, has also grown quite a lot in polls, up to 22%. This could gain them as many as 105 seats in the General Assembly. If a new general election were to be held, the NUP and NLP would most likely secure a large victory and would form a coalition together. NUP leader and Leader of the Opposition Raznak Nogva has expressed support for such a coalition if a snap election were to occur, and NLP leader Vasya Nolran has said that, if the two parties were to gain enough for a majority, the NLP would consider forming such a coalition.

In comparison, the PDR has dropped precipitously in the polls, with some putting them as low as 18%. According to Laka Fjonvaz, a professor of political science and history at the University of Konev, many of the PDR's more liberal members are starting to switch to the TGP, while the more centrist members are moving to the NLP. This data and analysis shows that the modern political scene is much different than even four years ago, when the traditional idea of having only two parties in a coalition was impossible.
The Kingdom of Takiv is a nation in the Western Isles.

Marshal Iuna Scadi returns to capital Saela after completing nationwide tour

Marshal Iuna Scadi, the National Leader, has concluded the first nationwide tour following the Lesvan Revolution, returning to national capital Saela


Marshal Iuna Scadi visited the Social Carto assembly in national capital Saela today. The National Leader came out into the public upon returning to the Lesvan State's national capital, following the conclusion of the Marshal's first nationwide tour. Upon being greeted by applause, Marshal Scadi addressed the Social Carto and citizens gathered at it. The Marshal opened with talking about the issues around the recent Throngist takeover of Cane Islo by resettling the old regime that was overthrown in the Lesvan Revolution on the occupied island. However, the Marshal stated there were currently no plans of retaking the island by military force and that the cease-fire would remain before a diplomatic solution is found. The National Leader also talked about the occupied part of Acean and an identical sentiment that the cease-fire would be preserved, while a diplomatic solution will be found as the Balniki Federation's peacekeepers in the occupied and militant-held part of Acean will help preserve calm there in cooperation with the Lesvan Revolutionary Army observing that territory across the temporary demarcation line.

After addressing those issues, Marshal Scadi moved on to talking about the personal impressions from the nationwide tour. The Marshal talked about how valuable the journey was, the experiences acquired, the people met and the various questions along with issues that have been observed. The Marshal said that with a personal accommodation with how the country lives, with whom and what it lives, there will now be immediate clarity about what has to be done for the people and what the people want. The National Leader, while address a Social Carto only in Saela, used the fact that the address was televised, in order to remind Lesvans that they have all the power to bring about change that the Revolution promises, since the Lesvan State is ruled directly by the people's social democracy and that the Marshal would guide Lesvans in this journey, as the road to happiness will be paved together.

Sila Vacarin synth-pop track "Back in Saela" becomes a hit among the Lesvan diaspora


Image

Cover of Sila Vacarin's upcoming album "Back in Saela" named after the single.


The song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXSw8DGjf5E

In more news related to music and pop-culture, Sila Vacarin, an up and coming Lesvan dissident expat musician, has released a new song "Back in Saela", which falls into the synth-pop genre. The song's lyrics are about an expat, who misses Saela and wants to go back, where he "left an old version of himself", so with Saela being in the lyrics, the song is clearly not just about any expat, but specifically a Lesvan one, since that the Lesvan people's capital. The reason why the titular character of the song is unable to go back is not stated specifically in the song itself, but given the real life political situation, there is not much needed to know why Lesva is currently a country, which Lesvans miss, but cannot go back to. That reason being dictatorship, whether the previous Throngist one that has survived by taking control of Lesva's island of Cane Islo, or the current Scadi dictatorship, not to mention the de jure and de facto openly fascist regime controlling a militant-occupied portion of the region of Acean in the south-west. The song has become a hit among the international Lesvan diaspora, but it is unknown whether Lesvans in Lesva itself will be able to hear it. The former Throngist Lesva had tough ideological censorship and isolation from outside information coming into the country, so Lesvans had to gain access to it through underground channels. The censorship in Lesva under the Scadi regime is more vague, so it is unclear whether the song will be blocked from accessing listeners in Lesva. At the same time, even if the Scadi regime permits the song, a lot of it could be cut up or censored, reducing it to an unrecognizable version of itself. Or the Scadi regime could decide to ban the song all-together because of it being made by an anti-regime dissident expat outside of Lesva. But music critics believe that whatever happens, the Throngist past has given Lesvans experience how to combat censorship and use underground channels to access prohibited information outside of the regime's sight.

Lesvan Revolutionary Army Navy to remain deployed near Cane Islo

Marshal Iuna Scadi, the Secretary General of the Central Social Carto and Overseer of the Revolution, confirms that the Lesvan Revolutionary Army Navy would remain deployed near Cane Islo until a diplomatic solution is reached


Marshal Iuna Scadi, the Secretary General of the Central Social Carto and Overseer of the Revolution, spoke before a crowd in the national capital Saela. The National Leader stated that a conversation was recently had with Lieutenant Nica Corsin, Secretary General of the Central Social Council, during a visit to a Social Council in Saela. The conversation was about Cane Islo. Marshal Iuna Scadi said that in the aftermath of that conversation, it has been decided that vessels of the Lesvan Revolutionary Army Navy would remain deployed in battle positions near Cane Islo, which is currently under the control of mutineer, loyalist and revanchist forces of the old Throngist regime, until a diplomatic solution is found. The Marshal stated that the Social Authority would uphold the existing cease-fire on its' part. Marshal Iuna Scadi said that the deployment of the vessels near the Throngist-controlled Cane Islo is meant to fulfil the same function as the barb wire physically separating the militant-occupied part of the Aceanian region from the rest of the Lesvan State.

Ex-Prime Minister Pagala Ira, who was the last head of government of the Lesvan Republic, led the Government of the Lesvan Presidential Republic in exile (GLPRIE) prior to its' merger with the Council of the President of the Republic of Lesva in exile (CPRLIE), as well as who served the head of government in GLPRIE twice, has announced resignation from the position of Prime Minister in the government-in-exile. Ira declared a wish to transfer the position to a younger successor, while intending to stay an active part of GLPRIE in other positions, voicing a similar intent that Agen Vopal announced upon his own resignation. Ira offered resignation to ousted President Puicu Gevin, who accepted it and moved on to appointing Ira's chosen younger successor Visim Gera as the new Prime Minister in GLPRIE.

Marshal Iuna Scadi encourages a discussion on retained policies from the Throngist Period

Marshal Iuna Scadi, the Secretary General of the Central Social Carto and Overseer of the Revolution, encourages citizens to debate what policies from the Throngist Period to keep or abandon


Marshal Iuna Scadi attended a gathering of a Social Carto in Saela, where the National Leader engaging citizens in a discussion about the policies of the Throngist Period. Currently, the Lesvan State still has a lot of laws that were introduced by the previous regime being in force and the Marshal has offered for citizens to engage in a discussion on whether to keep them any of them, whether to keep some and abandon others, how long to keep them or whether the Revolution should move the Lesvan State in a new direction all-together with new laws, policies and rules of life:

"We all know that any revolution is meant to reshape and remake society and our Revolution is no exception in that sense. It is only an exception in the way that our Revolution is reshaping our country and society with the unique model of self-governance and people's power that we have.

However, with that being said, we still have a lot of policies from the Throngist era left over. We originally retained them for the transitional period after the Revolution, but the people must now answer the question about what we are going to do with them.

We overthrew the totalitarian and fascist one-party tyranny of the Throngists to establish the people's power that Revolutionary Lesva currently has, at least in most of our country, as the forces of the old Throngist regime still control Cane Islo and another National Socialist tyranny controls a portion of the Aceanian region under militant occupation. Nevertheless, the Revolution has won in most of our land and in the future, liberty will come to all of the Lesvan State. But even within Revolutionary Lesva we still have policies that are a legacy of the previous Throngist rule. Objectively, our people agree that while we have dethroned the one-party Throngist tyranny, the Throngist ideology on paper had some good policies for shaping a new society. We are still living with a lot of them. And now, we must answer a question for ourselves - is our Revolution going to be moving in a new direction or are we moving forward from the point that the previous regime has established? Are we going to be taking the best and most effective policies from that system and applying them to our lives today or are we going to be building something entirely new from a clean slate?

I invite you, the people, to begin that discussion for all of our sake.

Resignations in GLPRIE continue, as Jer Headar resigns as Speaker with Eri Tusa succeeding him


Image

Flag used by the united Government of the Lesvan Presidential Republic in exile (GLPRIE).


Resignations appear to continue in the Government of the Lesvan Presidential Republic in exile (GLPRIE), which now causes questions regarding the stability of the political body, which The League of TWI recognizes as the legitimate leadership of Lesva, and whether there is some secret scandal or an internal conflict within GLPRIE happening, which the wider public is not aware of.

Yesterday, Pagala Ira resigned as Prime Minister within GLPRIE and withdrew into background roles within the political body. Ira has followed in the footsteps of Agen Vopal in this sense, who likewise resigned earlier and withdrew into a background role in GLPRIE, while transferring duties to a younger successor. Ira was suceeded by a younger Visim Gera, who became the new Prime Minister within GLPRIE. Ira would assume background duties like Vopal. However, the resignations did not end there.

Jer Headar, Speaker of the Carto within GLPRIE, has announced resignation and a transfer of duties to a younger successor. According to Headar, the decision was made earlier, but "outgoing Prime Minister Pagala Ira beat [him] to it." When addressing the resignation, Headar stated:

"I am tempted to paraphrase my colleague Agen Vopal, who said it best for both of us upon announcing his own resignation. I would share the sentiment that as an old democrat myself, I believe it is not good, when political positions are occupied by the same people for too long without rotation or succession. Also, to move forward, a new generation needs to come in and succeed us. That is why, I am leaving the post of Speaker and will be withdrawing into background mentor roles in our government-in-exile, further doing my part in helping our liberation struggle and a path towards Lesva's democratic revival."

Outgoing Speaker Jer Headar offered resignation to ousted President Puicu Gevin, who accepted it. Gevin would later appoint Headar's proposed successor Eri Tusa as new Speaker of the Carto within GLPRIE.

Gevin also addressed the incoming rumors about instability and internal conflict within GLPRIE causing this resignations. The ousted President denied rumors and declared that this was all part of internal voluntary reshuffling and introducing "fresh blood" into leading positions in GLPRIE.

Provincial Government of Nueva Castilla decides to help the local labour sector


The secretary of the Labour and Employment Department of the Province of Nueva Castilla, Mario Endrizzi, in collaboration with the Federal Government and companies that have interest in the region to establish branches in Nueva Castilla, announced that new subsidizes and investments into the local labour sector will be implemented to help workers and companies, Although, it was also announced that a certain number of public employees will be fired and unemployment benefits will be reduced due to high inflation in the country.

Nueva Castilla was one of the most hit provinces by the economic crisis, unemployment and inflation, the past governments failed to reduce the damages and only with the recent Saenz Government things are starting to change. With more investments in the labour and reduction of unemployment benefits and firing a big number of public employees. This policies have been seen as controversial by the more leftist parties and their supporters, viewed as seen as creating greater unemployment, the left-wing parties themselves criticized the move by Endrizzi and the provincial governor Victor Moretti.

Endrizzi is reaching out to companies and other potential private employers that are interested in the region. President Saenz complimented Governor Moretti and Secretary Endrizzi for the implementation of these policies. "It's great that even the provincial governments are following my guidelines to fight the crisis, and I find that the country is finally ready for regrowth and this is another step to the recovery and the regrowth "

League endorses creation of Food and Water Security Agency

INTERNATIONAL DISTRICT, 28 March 2024 | The League of the Western Isles has adopted a resolution aiming for the creation of an international Food and Water Security Agency (FAWSA). The initial proposal of Saint Ardor del Alba for a food only agency, modified by an amendment of fellow ROS nation Takiv to include water, was seconded by a large majority of nations of the Western Isles.

“Safe access to healthy water and food is not a certainty in so many countries”, Minister Elīn Posaqh of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food commented. “I am happy that the Western Isles community endorses this initiative and that our country will be a part of its implementation.”

FAWSA will monitor the security of food and water within the region and try to enhance cooperation and coordination between the member states of the League to ensure the quality of food and water for their populations, promote sustainable agricultural practices and support research in relevant areas, act upon potential threats and their impact on the member states, among other things.

“A watchdog like this in this field should have been created ages ago; this is a major step in the social and environmental development of the Western Isles”, the minister explained. “We are not out of the woods yet, however: setting up the agency may take some time, but our government is hoping to contribute in an active manner so that this project may take off as soon as possible.”
