Australian companies setup industrial complexes in China

Low costs make Chinese goods more cheaper than their foreign counterparts

SHENZHEN - As China's economy steadily grows, more and more Australian companies are investing into building new industrial and manufacturing plants in China to produce products, services and goods.

With the building of a new interconnected railway system which enables easy access for products and people from the coastal regions to go to the internal regions and vice versa, the flow of investment has dramatically risen in provinces such as Hunan, Hubei, Henan, Shanxi, Sichuan and Qinghai where most of the 311 Australian companies opened and established new base of operations for their production.

In the north, in the old region of Manchuria, heavy industry had long been part of the region's history with most of the old dilapidated plants dating back from the old Soviet Union-era, many of which are not efficient and are highly poses a health risk to its workers. However new investments have come pouring in to once again revitalize the heavy industrial based economy of provinces such as Heilongjiang, Jilin, Inner Mongolia and Liaoning. Due to its close proximity to techno giants such as Korea and Japan, Argus CyberSecurity will be establishing its new facilities in Liaoning with the idea of creating at least one facility for every province in the country as the Chinese slowly incorporate fast high speed internet into their lives.

The Australian investments are expected to produce almost every daily product, from small socks and bicycles to wheels and guns, to airplanes and ships. Not only are Australian investors focusing on manufacturing but are also equally interested in the services and banking sector, with many Australian investors entering the Chinese stock exchange to find lucrative and interesting stocks. Unemployment is expected to decrease by 45%-55%.

Operation Enduring Freedom: East Timor is dangerous on its own

May 19 | Isaac Livingston

The line between civilian and LMP fighter in East Timor blurs each passing day

TIMOR- Even after months of humanitarian operations, continuous surveillance and checkpoints as well as after millions of dollars worth of reconstruction money and loans, much of East Timor is still below the poverty line and several thousand of them continue to support the Liberal Movement Party or the LMP.

On May 12th, an Australian patrol of 50 troops was ambushed in Tuatula in the eastern region of the country by a force of almost 500 LMP supporters, most of which were carrying military grade firearms, a big contrast to the early weaponry the LMP supporters first used. 3 Australians were killed, the first deaths of Enduring Freedom, and of the 41 injured. 18 were in critical condition. The attack has led the Australian coalition to send more troops and armor to the eastern regions which are one of the most troublesome regions of East Timor. However the attacks sent shockwaves to other LMP forces across East Timor to harass Australian patrols and checkpoints. From May 13 to 17, about 50 attacks were recorded by Australian military patrols and checkpoints, leaving 7 dead and as many as 150 men wounded.

With the rising insurrection and the increasing incapability of the Dili government in establishing peace and order on their own accords without assistance, many personalities in the Legislature House are debating and into talks with the Dili government on the idea of temporarily putting East Timor as part of the Northern Territory.

Australian Military to open new bases in China,Pakistan, Puertollano and Andea

May 29 | Arthur Cranpim

Gwandar Base in Pakistan, one of the many new Australian overseas bases being established

KARACHI- The Australian government recently announced the establishment of new overseas bases for the Australian Armed Forces in South America, the Asia-Pacific and the Indian Ocean.

A deal with China called the China-Australia Military Bases Agremment or CAMBA, effectively exclusively leased for 10 years for $10M four bases in the island of Hainan, these are using of facilities and the opening of airforce hangars and resupplying stations in Haikou Meilan and Sanya Phoenix Airports and the exclusive leasing and constructionof deep water ports in Gangmen Harbor and Lian Port.

Meanwhile the governments of Australia and Andea agreed to let Australia build a new military air force base and naval port in Talara Piura with the condition that Australia shall shoulder all development costs of the said project. The air force base is expected to house close to at least 80-100 air planes with the present one runway airport in Talara to be expanded to 4 runways and 30 hangars as well as refueling and maintenance facilities. Meanwhile the naval port will be developed to house at least 15 destroyers of the Australian Navy and will host to new defensive surface to air missiles as well as laser guided systems. The bases will be host to 7,500 to 12,000 Australian military service personnel. The presence of the bases is surely a good economic opportunity for the nearby city and harbors and will lead to more development as key Australian politicians have said that new Australian bases will see to it the development of nearby population areas.

A same agreement was reached with Puertollano,which allowed the port of Port Bolivar in Southern coast of Ecuador to be home to a new naval base that is under construction, the naval base will be constructed on the Isla Jambeli Peninsula, opposite of the Machala. complete with a single runway for naval fighters and housing quarters and offices. The naval base will also be open to any CIS member. The naval base will be called Naval Base Bolivar in order of the South American hero. The base is expected to be a large military complex and will serve as a major military base for future CIS operations.

Puerto Bolivar in Puertollano, to be developed to be as a naval base for Australia's 5th Fleet

In Pakistan, Australia leased the Gwandar Peninsula under the Pakistan-Australia Military Bases Agreement or PAMBA, which is quite similar to CAMBA with China. The Gwandar peninsula will be host to a large naval base of the Australian Navy and an air force base with a runway for the Australian Air Force. The peninsula is precisely an excellent natural harbor and its lease to Australia is a great milestone. The old Gwandar Port Authority CPEC will be converted into a refueling and maintenance port for Australian military ships. Koh-E-Batil to the peninsula's northwest will be home to the air force base that will have 30 hangars and 2 runways and able to hold a hundred or more planes. In the peninsula's southwestern portion, the old Singhar Sunset point will be converted into the base's miltary headquarters and radar operations center, the supposed Singhar Housing Scheme will be converted into the base's military quarters, offices and miscellaneous buildings. Blocks N,P,Q,R and T will converted into the naval base, with breakwaters to be established in the southern water's of the peninsula. The peninsula's eastern point, once home to a small Pakistan helipad and hosting a small port in its northern part will be demolished and in converted into the bases supply depots.The area south of the maintenance port will be converted into a special economic zone for business ventures such as malls, clubs and other entertainment. The presence of the military base will boost the retailing and tourism industry in Gwandar Old City. The peninsula's magnigficent natural land formations are also a wonder to behold and time will tell that Gwandar will soon be a large tourist destination.

|| New bases, not a hostile act, but deterrents || Australian bases to act as early warning detection sites for upcoming new powerful radar || Economic benefits of Australian bases, debunked || Bases in Hainan for TransGen China || Gwandar Base to hold 10,000-20,000 Australian service personnel

Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles revives Lancia brand with announcement of 2 vehicles to be released in 2020

Today FCA announced that they are releasing 2 vehicles under the Lancia (pronounced lan-chi-a) brand (which ceased production of its previous vehicles 2 years ago) as part of "Lancia Vision 2020" which was established in 2010 and aimed to revive the dying brand by 2020. It would appear FCA have achieved their goal, announcing the release of the Flaminia Saloon (Sedan) and the Flavia Coupe for May 2020, with preorders available now at www.lancia.com.

Lancia has an almost cult-like following among rally and classic car fans, making this renaissance of the brand very important to Lancia fans. There was so much excitement during the release event that the preorder page of the Lancia website crashed due to huge number of people attempting to make a preorder in order to be one of the first people to receive one of the new cars next year. Lancia has promised that if sales targets are reached then it will begin developing more models for the future, to the delight of Lancia fans.

Unfortunately for Lancia fans outside of Europe the company does not currently have any plans to expand to the rest of the world for the foreseeable future however FCA has not ruled out expansion completely, saying that utilisation of manufacturing plants in Australia and the NAF could result in Lancia vehicles being available in the Americas, Oceania and Asia if the consumers demand.

The Italian government has also shown interest in the Lancia Flaminia Saloon which it is considering purchasing in bulk for police use to replaced its ageing saloon fleet so long as the bulk deal works out cheaper than other competitors within FCA such as Fiat or Alfa Romeo.

Preveza Investigation

On April, a male by the name Haussmann Farouln was found dead. The corpse was discovered at the Preveza city centre, sitting on a bench, at 14:00. Not even a single individual present at the city centre noticed the corpse until 14:00, and the cause of death was freezing, under a temperature of 27°C.

Many questions were raised over this peculiar happening, and now, the government finally came with an answer. The Ministery of Health and the Preveza City Municipality published a joint statement of at least 70 pages, detailing everything. Here is the Q&A format of the of the document:

1)Who is the deceased individual?
A Fregantese citizen by the name of Haussmann Farouln. Age: 35, Weight: 75 kg, Lenght: 1. 73 m, Gender: Male. Unmarried, no children. Originally a resident of Thessaloniki, came to Preveza in pursuit of new opportunities.

2)How did the corpse arrive at the city centre, and how was it not noticed for quite a time?
The study of different records of different cameras show that the person arrived at the city’s centre while being alive. He sat on the bench, and remained immobile. Until 14:00, he wasn’t noticed. Being alive while first sitting on the bench possibily rendered him irrelevant to public eye, until someone coincidentally discovered that he was dead.

3)How did he manage to get frozen under sunlight, at a temperature of 27°C?
Accroding to many different sources, such as municipal records, Mr. Farouln applied to be a test subject for a biomedical research company by the name “PrevezaMed/Mirai24”. The company was conducting a research on locally and generally freezing organisms and tissues without damaging the cellular integrity. Apparently, the experimental substance was injected to Mr. Farouln -according to the documents provided by the company and their legal team, the test subject was properly informed of possible consequences-. Then, he was ordered not to eat any type of meat for three days, which he ignored as he ate a hamburger at 12:00. The effects staterted to show themselves as he walked, and it appears that he sat on the bench because he wasn’t feeling well. The consumption of the meat triggered a series of endothermic biochemical reactions in the body, and the number of these reactions increased exponentially. Eventually, the rapid loss of heat claimed Mr. Farouln.

The local prosecutor of Preveza called for an investigation of the PrevezaMed/Mirai24, but an order directly form the Ministry of Interior prevented the investigation.

Massive Protests in Thessaloniki!

Starting from the early hours of the day, many workers demonstrated organised protests in many places of Thessaloniki, especially the city centre and the city harbour.

The protesters took it to the streets as early as 08:00, and filled the harbour at 13:00. Thousands of red flags and many more sings affiliated to the proletariat were present, and these were accompanied by a chant: “We want safe jobs, we will protect our jobs!”

The local authorities were shocked, and the police didn’t know what to do. Despite some minor incidents, the police didn’t intervene, and nobody was serious harmed. The local committee of unions alerted the CFS (Confederation of Fregantese Syndicates), which then called for an emergency meeting session in the Senate.

At 13:30, the leader of the Worker’s Union of Salonican Public Transports delivered a speech in front of the harbour. No quality footage was successfully taken, so a summary was made: “Recent foreign investments and branchements of foreign companies threaten our jobs! These capitalists will exploit the labour of the esteemed Fregantese workers! We want them out!”.

At 15:00, the emergency meeting session of the Senate commenced. Alongside the senators; Chancellor Fleuchaim, Speaker Pandaros and the head of the CFS with a handful of other delegates were also present. The meeting went on for three hours. In the meeting, the CFS delegates called for a temporary halt of all commercial activities (new investments, local and foreign deals and transactions) within the city, especially the harbour. The proposal was accepted, at 16:00, Thessaloniki halted at least 70% of its commercial activity.

As the debate dragged on, the CFS, the government and the Senate came to an agreement, and a bill was passed. Alongside many other things, the bill proved to be a massive success for the unions. The bill envisions the followings below:

-The non-URT and non-DEU part of the businesses that entered the city, has indeed posed a potential threat to the guarantee of employment of the workers. The local unions are indeed legitimately seeking their rights.

-As a state which protects the interests of its workers, the Fregantese government and the august Senate that it serves, have decided alongside with the CFS, that non-URT and non-DEU businesses and branchements of any kind that entered the city after February 2019, and any investment more than 2 million N.A.F. Dollars that entered after March 2019, will be nullified.

-If there is an issue present with the liquidity of the investments, and that they can’t be recompensated directly, the state will recompensate the investment, after a close financial investigation. Any investment intentionally rendered into the said state will be seized immediately.

After the announcement of the bill at 18:00, the protesters rejoiced, the local unions of Thessaloniki, one by one, sounded their support of the bill.

At 21:00, the halt on commercial activities were lifted, and the CFS called for a public celebration at Piraeus, at the front gates of the Palace of Syndicates. Thanks to the well organised nature of the unions, a large crisis and posssible losses of life and property were averted, and the Fregantese workers rightfully defended their employments.

Spanish Brethren of Galicia

Spain has made another step towards a closer relationship with Galicia. The government of Spain has agreed to construct 3 factories in Galicia to help the people to become self-sufficient. Espalsio is also sending thousands of social workers, enterpernuers, and politicians to Galicia in order to spread the teachings of the Spanish ideology of Avinnism and how it is so good for them while giving the peasants charity and support. The Prime Minister has also announced that half of any Galician debt to Spain will be forgiven before inviting graduating Galician policemen and soldiers to attend the most elite Spanish universities.

Espalsio Eyes French Indonesia

Remembering the "darkest days of the Republic"

President Dutoit has commemorated the anniversary of the wartime Franco-British Union at a ceremony on the museum ship Joffre; a retired aircraft carrier of the Navy of first the Union, and then the post-war Republic.

This ship has a special place in our history. Only hours after the treaty establishing the Union which would save our Republic was signed, preparations were being made for the hull to be towed to safety later that week. By 1943, just like the rest of our armed forces, it was ready to liberate the nation as part of the Franco-British armada. It also aided in the liberation of Norway, before the end of the war in Europe saw it become the flagship of the refounded Republic's North Atlantic Fleet during the Cold War. The Second World War was not the only time it took part in combat action alongside our British friends however; it was also present during the Suez Crisis. It was these acts combined which made this ship a personification of the heroism and prestige represented during the history of the Franco-British Union and eternal Entente. To this day, it remains the most-visited of all of our museum ships. That is why we are holding these commemorations here; to remind us that even during the darkest days of the Republic we could count on our allies, and that the mutual sacrifices made by our people in the process of evicting the invaders shall never be forgotten.

Cost effective energy acceleration

The French Confederation has continued to develop their domestic energy projects early in 2019, with a mix of state-owned firms being awarded the contract to construct four new nuclear power plants. One will be constructed in Vietnam and be able to supply power to Saigon and many of the Southern cities, another in the Algerian desert to supply power to the Northern city centers, one in European France to replace a deactivated plant near the capitol, and another near Toulon. Overall, the nuclear plants will provide energy diversification from carbon intensive, or non-cost effective, industries and provide some relief considering the aging of other existing infrastructure. These zones will be overseen by military authorities for security and safety purposes.

Indochina 2021; "ambitious, but achievable"

The French Indochinese Federation has formally voted in support of the "Indochina 2021" Project, which aims to complete their main post-war recovery programs by that year. While Vietnam has successfully emerged as a source of strong growth, industry, and commerce, Cambodia in particular remains significantly diminished in terms of quality of living compared to their neighbor.

AIMS OF INDOCHINA 2021

1. Bring health services to acceptable levels that can accommodate the needs of the population.
2. Increase the number of education facilities across the Federation in order to ensure that the youth are provided with suitable opportunities regardless of their situation under the old regime's systems.
3. Continue efforts to make food supply and distribution sustainable and ensure that there will not be a repeat of devastating famine; due to increased investment and breakup of the regime's holdings among the local communities as well as surplus from Vietnam back to normal levels this will be completed ahead of schedule.
4. Facilitate further housing and welfare for families.
5. Gradually transition from military policing to civil judicial and policing systems.
6. Allow foreign investment into the country in select instances - only given permits if they are negotiated with the government directly in order to ensure sufficient welfare is provided.

Meanwhile, Iberian propaganda information has been confiscated and their officials given a warning due to violation of the young state's strict 'Closed Gates' interim constitution. The Khmer Rouge's fall left the nation shattered and vulnerable, and as such attempts at political influence is banned even if originating from within the French Confederation itself. It is not the first time however; twenty cases against French Confederation political parties have already been to the courts since its implementation for violating these terms.

Milan Fashion Week commences, President Gelmini pays a visit

Today marked the opening of the Summer Milan Fashion Week 2019. The clothing trade show which is one of the "Big four fashion shows" (The others being Paris fashion show, London fashion show and New York fashion show) is being held in June instead of September this year due to a one-off shift in the dates of the other shows which are held in order over the summer and winter.

This summers brand line-up includes Armani, Roberto Cavalli, Dolce & Gabbana, Etro, Fendi, Ferragamo, Gucci, Jil Sander, Marni, Max Mara, Missoni, Moschino, Philipp Plein, Prada, Pucci, John Richmond, Tod's, Versace, Giorgio Armani and many others who will assemble in the Royal Palace of Milan, the location for this summers event. This summers event has drawn much attention due to the governments recent legislation which dictates that models cannot take up the profession unless they are at least at the minimum BMI considered not underweight. This has caused many models to be unable to perform this summer, and has opened new careers for other models. The SSN (Servizio Sanitario Nazionale/National Health Service) has applauded the decision and says that banning underweight models will help to reduce depression and anorexia in young people who are heavily influenced by the appearance of models, particularly those in the Milan Fashion Show, who are seen as the pinnacle of female beauty by many young women.

President Gelmini also decided to visit the first event of the Milan Fashion Show as she happened to be visiting Milan at the same time as the show began. Being personally interested in fashion, the president enjoys visiting the Milan Fashion Show, and often visits the Paris Fashion Show as well whenever she has the time. As president she also spoke about the importance of the fashion industry to the Italian government and the soft power yields by distributing Italian brands worldwide which are loved by millions across the globe.

The Situation in the NSRA

Around a month ago, a Magellan man participating in Magella's volunteer aid program was beaten to death in Nigeria, specifically the Nigerian Socialist Republic. The man, Gregorio Vela, was a teacher, aiming to help increase the Nigerian literacy rate and education. He left behind a wife and two children. President Salamanca and some of her cabinet members attended his funeral alongside his family.

Immediately after the incident, Magella ended its volunteer aid program, deeming the situation in Nigeria "too unstable" to risk Magellan lives. While Salamanca expressed regret at its ending, she also said that they have no choice but to do what is necessary to protect Magellan lives. She did not comment on the possibility of reopening the program after the situation calms down.

Now, however, a month later, the NSRA has yet to release statements regarding the punishment of the three murderers. Some rumors going around have even stated that the men were freed and are back on the streets. As a result, President Salamanca demanded that the local police force reveal the results of its investigation and the punishment for the perpetrators, alongside an official apology to the family. It is expected that Salamanca will declare the NSRA an unstable state and restrict travel to and from it if they do not comply.

MCG Embassies Open!

After regaining its independence, Magella joined the Mediterranean Commerce Guild, a primarily United Roman Triumvirate initiative. Now, the first embassies of the MCG have opened in Magella, in Santiago and Valparaiso. These embassies act as local branches of the MCG, each with extensive knowledge of many aspects of the economy and the economies of other MCG nations. For example, they have information concerning flow of investments, and ship cargo, and much more.

Financial and economic experts employed at these embassies then interpret such information, providing a wide array of options for potential entrepreneurs. They take in information about real-time statuses of supply and demand, where and how to receive needed materials, where and how to produce certain things, how to manage companies (or cooperatives), etc. and give this information to prospective businessmen. Not only does this advice effectively ensure the success of a cooperative, but it also includes information about the ADE, Italy, and Greece, so these cooperatives can easily find import and export markets.

These advising services can go so far as to assist in the planning of the creation of an entire cooperative, but are forgiving when it comes to profits. When a businessperson comes to the embassy for specific advice about something, no data fee is charged. However, if such plans are made with the embassy, and the entrepreneur profits, then 1% of that cooperative's profits go to the embassy. If there is no profit or a loss, there is no charge.

More of such embassies are planned in the future in other major cities, especially considering how successful they currently are.

No Smoking Here!

Smoking is very popular in Magella, with some 35% of all adults being smokers. However, smoking has been clearly linked to a number of diseases and illnesses, most commonly lung and other cancers, not to mention the innumerable dangers secondhand smoke can pose to bystanders. Because of this, the Ministry of Health has begun an aggressive anti-smoking campaign, alongside other restrictions and regulations.

All cigarette products must now display warnings about the health consequences of their use on the front of all packages. Warnings must comply with size regulations in order to prevent small, illegible warnings. Smoking is already prohibited in indoor public areas, indoor workspaces, public transportation, areas around primary and secondary educational institutions, areas around places where explosives, flammable materials, medications, and food are manufactured, stored, produced or handled, and areas around athletic stadiums, gymnasiums, or stadiums. Now, these "no smoking areas" have expanded to include areas around hospitals or clinics, where patients may otherwise come into contact with the smoke.

Additionally, the Ministry of Health has started an ad campaign on both television and radio against smoking, providing personal stories, statistics, and other realistic objects showcasing the health consequences of smoking and the other options available. An extensive "Tobacco Addiction Rehabilitation Program" has been set up to assist those addicted in quitting, and has become quite popular.

These new smoking regulations come just a couple days after the Ministry of Health's previous proposed bill, to tackle obesity, finally was approved by legislature after a month and a half. This bill, unlike other counterparts worldwide, doesn't show calorie numbers, as most citizens are unsure of how much they need. Instead, certain food items that increase the risk of a chronic disease are required to have a bright stop sign on its packaging, with wording that says something similar to "High in Fat", "High in Sugar", "High in Calories", or "High in Salt". Similar warnings must be on all restaurant menus. Such foods are prohibited from being used in school lunches, and from having children-specific advertisement (such as cartoon characters, superheroes, etc.). At an unprecedented rate, food cooperatives have been adapting their products to have less of these harmful components and remove their sign, and a vast majority of Magellans say they use the signs to decide what to eat (OOC: this actually happened in RL Chile). There is no mandated exercise, however, although it is strongly encouraged.

South American Cooperation Program

After Magella's reacquirement of its independence, its international relations with a number of nations around the world skyrocketed in their quality. However, relations at home remained somewhat tense, and still do to this day. In an effort to decrease this tension and assist Magella's South American neighbors at the same time, Magella began a South American Cooperation Program.

Paraguay, Magella's closest non-hostile neighbor, was offered an economic cooperation deal as part of this program. If Paraguay accepts, goods would be able to travel freely between the two nations, allowing Paraguayans a much cheaper outlet to both the Atlantic and Pacific seas than other places. Additionally, as part of the program, Magella would license cooperatives to construct and develop many currently somewhat neglected areas of Paraguay. This includes the construction and further development of airports, roads and train networks, telecommunications networks, and power stations and lines. Magella would also begin a volunteer program, encouraging educators, doctors, and other professionals to assist in improving their quality of life. As part of the deal, the two would also sign a free movement agreement, allowing their two citizens to travel to each other's countries freely. For another part, Magella and one of its allies, the Austro-Danubian Empire, would agree to allow training of their military and protection in case of invasion, annexation, or any other encroachment on Paraguayan territory.

President Salamanca made a speech on the matter:

Magella's standing with other South American nations after it finally became its own nation again has generally been not very good, considering the nations of Puertollano and the Federation of Socialist Republics. While Magella's relations with other nations worldwide have mostly remained in good standing, I would also like to increase our relations here at home. I'd like to further cooperation with our fellow South American neighbors, through our new South American Cooperation Program.

This program would see the Magellan beginning of many infrastructural projects in other nations, alongside free trade agreements, free movement agreements, state-sponsored volunteer programs, and military protection. This cooperation program seeks to continue and hasten the urbanization and development of other nations, therefore increasing quality of life even more.

For now, this deal has been offered to Paraguay, a fellow Native American and Spanish nation. However, I would also like to increase cooperation with another Spanish-speaking nation: Uruguay. A couple years ago, the Uruguayan population supposedly voted to join the "anti-imperialistic Orostan", by very thin margins. Shortly after, the government of Orostan rapidly industrialized the nation, alongside using it for the construction of a number of military bases. They also reorganized it into one province of their already large state.

As such, the Uruguayan people found themselves a small, Spanish-speaking minority in a nation of Portuguese-speaking people with a vastly different culture that outnumbered them 60 to 1. They had little voice in government, and were essentially ignored. What little voice they had became even more obscured and ignored when Andea joined Orostan in the FSR, providing an additional large number of representatives to government. Orostan then saw to the creation of Interlingua and its implementation throughout the whole nation—an effort to replace previous culture, including Uruguayan ones, with a different one that was more to their liking.

This no doubt seems like cultural repression to the Uruguayans, and yet they were never given the option to say anything about it. Well, I am here to say Uruguay has no need to stay a small piece of a giant nation, ignored and rid of their cultural identity. Magella and her allies are ready to protect any independent South American nations, respectful of their culture and language, maintaining their sovereignty and not incorporating them like some sort of machine. This cooperation program would greatly benefit any independent South American nation that accepts. Magella will not cause any negative consequences should the program be denied, for, unlike other nations, it does not resort to "bullying tactics" when it does not succeed in an international scale.

Turnbull: "We will not stop until the HNA is wiped out of the face of the Earth"

June 23 | Roger Peterson

CANBERRA - The Nigerian Civil War has long been a subject of controversy in the country, escalating just weeks ago with the additional deployment of another 50,000 service personnel to aid military operations under the Coalition of Sovereign Nations, but operations primarily centered against the Holy Nigerian Army or the HNA, which crucified 3 Australian social workers/ nurses.

However, after a huge offensive by another faction in the Civil war, the ICN, devastated the HNA, the latter had seen a its power and influence rapidly dwindle to the point that the faction is ultimately on the brink of collapse, much applauded by the Australian media. However after the offensive, the HNA has come to accept a hasty peace agreement with the CSN Coalition, as well as the ICN.

In a brief visit to the Legislature House, Prime Minister declared in his speech about the possible conclusion of the Nigerian Civil War:

"As long as the HNA are in Nigeria, there can never be a safe place for everyone in the world. The Australian Army joined the CSN mission in the objective to undertake a mission of retribution against the HNA. And that mission has not been achieved yet, but we are closer than ever.

Though we do not support or approve of the ICN, their attack on the HNA can be considered a blessing in disguise for the Australian CSN Army in Australia, of which already at least 50 of our soldiers have given their lives and countless more civilians killed in their homes. But as I speak, our good soldiers are undertaking a mission of hope and freedom for the Nigerian people, the city of Warri will not very long stand under the HNA flag's torment, but will soon see the Australian stars and blue.

To the good men of the House, I encourage you to continue the fight against the HNA for the peaceful conclusion and completion of our mission. To the CSN Assembly, we will not stop until the HNA is wiped out of the face of the Earth. For the peace of mind of all Australians, our men of arms will and will not stop until we are victorious against the last HNA holdout. Thank you ladies and gentlemen"

Although Nigeria has been a huge part of Australian involvement in foreign affairs, support for the war has been slowly decreasing, with the Australian public more focused on the East Timor Operation Enduring Freedom. The additional deployment of thousands of troops, added much more dismay and protests against the government.

Sudan Today

Government to tighten purses in face of financial scandal

The Sudanese government has passed a bill today to tighten the pursestrings after a financial scandal surrounding environmental spending came to light.

Over the past few years, the government had been participating in a significant initiative to revitalise Sudanese forests and the wider environment, in the wake of a number of recent extinctions of animals within the nation. The aim behind this was to protect the environment for future generations, as without serious protection the government of the day believed that the natural environment of Sudan would be completely obliterated.

However, a number of scandals surrounding where the money actually goes has led to the pulling of funding as a temporary measure from the initiate, with the aim to look for alternative ways of funding environmental preservation.

This decision was not taken lightly by those in power. It has been discovered over the past few weeks that the President of Sudan was actually married to the daughter of a partial owner of the company behind the initiative. Accusations include claims that the President was actually receiving money from his connection in order to benefit the company in charge. Furthermore, accusations of mismanagement of funds, and lying about spending, have also come to light to those in power other than the President.

Corruption has been rife in Sudan but with the past few Presidents, they have been elected on a mandate of reducing and eradicating corruption in government in order to increase the effeciency and fairness with which the government governs. The current President was incredibly against corruption and campaigned on a hard anti-corruption platfom. It is thought that movements to impeach the President are in the works, but if they don't come to fruition, this will definitely damage him coming into the election in a year or 2. A recent poll has shown an almost 20% drop in support for the incumbent President, with only 16% saying they trust the current President.

While this is only a temporary measure, the general parliament will probably look for alternative ways to achieve their environmental preservation goals. They will also look at ways in which they can reduce the say that the President has over financial matters to attempt to prevent a scandal like this happening again.

Oil Pipeline Deal Agreed; is more cooperation on the cards?

Recently, the Sudanese government completed a deal with the ZoA (Zackarothian Oil Agency) and the British to build a pipeline stretching from British Egypt, through Sudan, and into Somalia. There are significant costs behind this pipeline, but the government believes that the deal will end up being economically beneficial to the region across the next few decades because of the increasing demand for oil in certain parts of the world, as well as increasing populations.

After this deal, the Sudanese government and people are hoping that more cooperation with the Zackarothian people is on the cards in the future. The Sudanese government is aware that Sudan has a large population of Zackarothian people in the country, and so wants to maintain good relations with their fellow country. It is rumoured that the Sudanese governments are looking to enter talks in the near future on a number of different agreements stretching from economic to travel agreements. This is all at the decision of the Zackarothian government, who also need to be in the right mind to fulfil and create agreements with the nation of Sudan.

The Sudanese government are also rumoured to be open to discussions with other willing nations, should they come forward and initiate negotiations.

Spain and Galicia

As the two neighbors are continuing getting closer, Spain has made another significant act by allowing Galician commercial and military vessels to use Spanish ports for longer periods of time. The Prime minister explained the move by assuring the press that Spain stands with Galicia and welcomes the people with open arms as European brothers. Apart from constructing farms and factories in Galicia, Spain sent various politicians and speakers to Galicia to spread the teachings of Avinnism and help the people even more financially and educationally. The Ministry of Economy already slashed prices on many exports to Galicia to strengthen the ties between Spain and the Galcians

Spain protests treatment of its citizens in Indochina

The Foreign Minister Roberto de Castro condemned the treatment of the Spanish nationals sent to Indochina after the authorities confiscated the pamphlets. The French ambassador to Madrid was summoned to explain the situation. De Castro said that the Indochinese authorities could have simply warned the Spanish businessmen and politicians sent on a mission to promote the meritorious teachings of Avinnism. He called the confiscating as "going overboard" and that Espalsio will protect its citizens around the world.

Property developers release government-approved post-war Il Desiderio redevelopment plans to help develop tourism industry on the island and attract European expats

Today several large Italian and European property developers announced their plans for the redevelopment of Il Desiderio post-war when the island returns to Italian rule. During the Puertollanoan invasion of the island the port has been completely destroyed and several buildings in the capital have been destroyed as Italian soldiers valiantly fought to save the island from the Puertollanoan imperialists raping the precious island.

In response to this destruction and dereliction, the Italian government has permitted any property or infrastructure company within the European Internal Market (EIM) to redevelop the island and help build the tourism industry on the island to help boost its post-war economy. The property developers also hope to attract expats from across Europe to island to buy second homes, retire or start a new life on the island similar to European expat hubs such as Marbella in Espalsio. In order for this to be achievable the developers have released plans for 'expat suburbs' around the capital which will be designed with expats in mind, with German, Dutch, French, Italian, Austrian, British and Scandinavian television access and road signs in all languages.

In order for expats to live on the island they will need a career with a reasonable salary, so the developers have invited and incentivised a large number of European companies to open up branches on the island, with services such as banks, call centres, tourism centres, small-scale financial centres and supermarkets all being invited to serve the island. The local government of the island will also incentivise expats to open their own SME's (Small or Medium Enterprises) on the island with tax credits and interest-free start-up loans. The local government and property developers say that this huge influx of jobs, people and tax income will greatly benefit the 2,500 residents who currently live on the island (but currently in Guadeloupe until the war ends) giving them increased incomes and allowing the local government to improve infrastructure such as public transport and hospitals for the native residents of the island who will also benefit from the tourist economy.

To allow tourists and expats to access the island developers will integrate a cruise port into the new port and marina for the island allowing large Caribbean cruises to stop at Il Desiderio and give visitors a tour of the capital, putting money into the local economy. To attract tourists for longer-term visits hotels and resorts will be built and Il Desiderio International Airport will be expanded to the minimum size required to land Airbus A330's and Boeing 767's, the smallest planes capable of reaching Il Desiderio direct from anywhere in Europe. This will also allow expats to travel to and from the island to their homeland, with flights twice weekly from the island to Rome, Milan, Cape Thetis, Paris, Marseille, Berlin, Frankfurt, Vienna, London, Manchester, Brussels, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Stockholm and Oslo with a wide range of European airlines. Short-haul flights around the Caribbean and to major NAF cities will also fly out of the airport once a week.

The Ministry of Defence has said that the island will be completely demilitarised and the port will only have a single Comandanti-class patrol vessel permanently stationed on the island.

Il Desiderio Redevelopment Plan Summary:
- New port with cruise terminal
- Airport expansion
- Gentrification of island capital
- Expat suburbs to attract Europeans to live on the island
- Incentives for expats to open small businesses
- Incentives to attract European company subsidiaries to Il Desiderio
- Hotels and resorts for tourists
- Expanded and improved infrastructure with dual-carriageway (2-lane freeway), bus service and new hospital
- Enlarged local government to account for increased population
- Removal of previous military infrastructure

Crew of the Melbourne take one final last pic with their beloved ship

HOBART - Two of the Australian Navy's Adelaide Class, one of the early classes of guided missile frigates of the country in its history were finally retired after more than 30 years in service for the country. The two ships, the ANS Melbourne and ANS Newcastle were laid down in 1989 and 1992 respectively and were part of some major missions and several domestic operations and also participated in the evacuation of Australian foreign exchange students during the Cape Thetis Crisis.

The ceremony was attended by Chief of the Defence Force Air Chief Marshal Mark Binskin,Vice Chief of the Defence Force Vice Admiral Ray Griggs, and Chief of Navy Vice Admiral Tim Barrett. The Magellan Navy commanders and admirals were also there along with their minister for defense. The decommissioning ceremony was held at the naval port complex of Hobart Military Base and was attended by about 1,100 people, mostly family and friends of the two ship's 388 crew. Air Chief Marshall Binskin gave a short speech followed by the ANS Melbourne and ANS Newcastles captains' short messages to their crews and to the ship before the Stars and Blue were lowered down and the crew symbolically walked down from the ship amidst a 2 minute gun salute towards the bay.

The captains of the Melbourne and Newcastle then proceeded to shake hands with the Magellan delegation. Unbeknownst to many the two missile guided frigates will serving for many more years in service of the new Magellan Republic Navy, who had recently achieved sovereignty. The ships were given to the Magellan Republic under an Excess Defense Article Agreement (EDAA) between the two countries, Magellan acquiring the two ships including training and keeping of current military hardware for just $660 million dollars. The training of the new Magellan crew will range for 6 months while the two ships will be refurbished and fitted with new weapons and maintenances. The ships are expected to be commissioned by the Magellan Navy by the first week of December and will arrive in Magella at around December 25, coinciding with Christmas.

Our north is the South

Magella repeats history:
How Western Imperialism stripped the coast off Andea

Is history repeating itself? The people of South America must brace themselves once again from the scourge of imperialism and dirty Western influence on our continent. The South American people have been endangered, once again, by certain European nations in an effort to subjugate the people under their colonial rule. A neo-Roman, neo-Imperialist creature known as the URT has launched its' attack against the Bolivarian Republic of Puertollano and the defiant FSR. The brave soldiers repelling this obvious act of imperialism doesn't have the support of one nation; the 'new' Magellan government. While not recognised as a state by any other South American nation, Magella is working as the puppet-state of the URT and Germanic Governments. It may be still unclear as to whether European agents were involved in the separatist outbreak in Magella, but it is certainly clear that their governance in nothing but a parrot, squawking the talking points of the imperialist agenda. In their twisted world view, liberation of fellow Latino people is abhorrent, meanwhile they sell their people away to Austrian Military interests. Nobody remembers the consultation with the local people of Easter Island before they were juggled about in an act that undo's decades of South American self-determination. What is most concerning, however, is how Magella is proceeding to repeat history. All should remember the War of the Pacific, in which the Magellan Government of the time invaded the coast of Bolivia by order of its' corporations and wealthy businessmen. This ugly corporatism was doomed an eternal death after the creation of the Federation of Socialist Republics, but since the emergence of the Magellan puppets, it has reared its' ugly head. Unprovoked, their leader declared war on Puertollano. Only this time, South America is more prepared. We are better equipped and trained compared to the corporate-interest in Magella. They must prepare themselves, for the War of the Pacific seems like it will occur once again, only this time a historical injustice will be done justice.

Legislature House Passes "Zero Waste Act"

July 6 | Isaac Livingston

Smart trash bins will be set up in towns and cities as part of the Zero Waste Act

CANBERRA - The Legislature House finally passed House Bill No. 7581-2019 or otherwise known as the Zero Waste Act of 2019. The bill has been under legislation for more than a year and half. It was initially sponsored by Helios II and was carried on by Helios III under the Green Belt Program that started way back in 2016.

The Zero Waste Act will be put under the Ministry of Environment and Helios III's supervisions and will involve the enforcing of necessary steps to make Australia free from unwanted rubbish through several augmented projects & programs:

The Acts calls for the construction of 'Recycling stations' that will be managed by different divisions under each station that will be managed by the Ministry of Environment and will be supplied with state of the art technology and equipment by Helios III and probably ACHEUS.
A special garbage collection division will be set up to oversee the construction and development of "Recycling stations" across the country, recycling stations are as a rule will be no more than 300 metres from any residential area. This is in order to be near to residents in trash collections. According to sources, instead of the universal trash labels such as 'biodegrable,non-biodegradable, recyclable', the recycling stations will be classifying trash into 34 categories, but for the public's sake will be generalizing it into 8 categories for its bins, the bins will be using smart technology laser sensor recognition systems by Helios III to ensure that people will not aimlessly throw away their trash into a wrong bin-category. Residents might as well also go to their nearest recycling station and let the garbage collectors manage the rest.
An energy division,will overlook the burning of trash for electric energy. Several cooperatives have been already been on the making and were only recently formally established to provide communities with the means to use their local trash and garbage for fuel to supply their recycling stations in order to produce electricity for the cooperative's members usage and self sufficiency in electricity.
Lastly,The creation of special awareness programs in schools, offices, hotels; transportation facilities such as ports, subways and airports; subdivisions and government agencies on proper garbage disposal, waste segregation, fines and punishments as well as other necessary information in order to educate the public and private institutions of the said act's passing and its programs that will be functioning

Helios III hopes to reach 0% waste output in the near future

Reagan Skopje, Head Division Chief for Renewable Technology of Helios III, still thinks Australians can do more, considering that about half of all household waste is burnt, that is, turned into energy. He explains that reusing materials or products means using less energy to create a product, than burning one and making another from scratch.

‘We are trying to “move up the refuse ladder”, as we say, from burning to material recycling, by promoting recycling and working with authorities’, he says.

Meanwhile, Australian households are required to separate their newspapers, plastic, metal, glass, electric appliances, light bulbs and batteries. Many municipalities have also been encouraging consumers to separate food waste. And all of this is reused, recycled or composted.

Newspapers are to be turned into paper mass, bottles to be reused or melted into new items, plastic containers as plastic raw material; food to be converted into soil or biogas through complex chemical processes in these recycling stations. Rubbish trucks will also be using recycled electricity or biogas to operate. Wasted water will purified to the extent of being potable. Special rubbish trucks will go around cities and pick up electronics and hazardous waste such as chemicals. Pharmacists will be required to accept leftover medicine for collection. Australians are take their larger waste, such as a used TV or broken furniture, to Recycling Centers on the outskirts of cities.

The Ministry of Environment and Helios III plans to reach the goal of recycling 100% of all household and commercial waste in the country by 2022. Helios III also is aiming to make recyclable trash as energy fuel for electric energy, the agency planning to get trash to power 10% of Australia's electric consumption, to further increase renewable energy dependency which by now stands at 67% of Australia's total electric consumption.

With this act, the government plans to further encourage national pride, private-public partnerships, cooperative benchmarks as well as environmental stability. The act also serves to help boost the country's tourism industry as well as help reduce Australia's contaminated freshwater and groundwater to less than 10%.

FSR Threatens Intervention In 'War of Two Continents'

2019 had been marked with ever-increasing European imperialism. First, the URT and Germany declared war on Calindelo, using the excuse that they had a "dictatorial" government. Even when President Kraszanka stepped down and all authoritarian policies were abolished, the war continued. Afterward, Puertollano decided to defend Calindelo. This was followed by a German and Magellan declaration of war on Puertollano, in which the Magellans also gave the URT military access to their territory.

In the eyes of many within the FSR, the situation was getting out of hand.

Today the FSR's Assembly in a nearly unanimous vote stated that unless hostilities stopped the FSR would intervene in the conflict. The FSR already had legal grounds to do so, from the CIS and the Guevara Doctrine, however, hadn't acted upon it in the past on fears of escalating the conflict. However, this policy failed to prevent escalation.

This also coincided with the FSR's decision to withdraw from Nigeria, which seems to be related to this.

The following below are actions which the FSR took prior to the declaration, this wasn't made public:

Nigeria: FSR & Calin troops withdrew from Nigeria. Calin troops were to stay in Galicia until they could return back to Calindelo. FSR troops returned to the mainland. Prior to the withdrawal, NAF forces arrived to hold the front, which would also allow the FSR to withdraw safely.

Military: All military branches were placed at Defcon 2 and are at high alert. The FSR military has been fully mobilized. Several naval deployments have also occurred.

In the recent months, the world has seen an incredible strengthening of the bilateral relations between Spain and Galicia. Apart from heavily investing in the newly-formed country and giving the people privileges which the Spanish citizens have, Espalsio has made yet another step towards complete commonwealth of the two countries. The Minister of Defense Sergio Lernez has announced that Spain has signed a defense pact with Galicia and any attack on Galciia will be viewed as an attack on spain by the government. The PM said that in these times where strong players on the global arena are competing for resources, smaller countries need to make sure that they have trusted allies to lean on.

Special Status of Argentina rejected.

In the face of the Continental War, the Spanish government has lifted the special status of North Argentina thus establishing it as another governorate of Spain and placing it under the protection of the DEU as a part of the Spanish Kingdom. The Parliament explains this move by a necessity to protect Argentina which is situated in the middle of the warring parties. But the palace Spokesman assured that after the war ends, the Spanish government will look at giving another special status to Argentina but for now, the new resolution regarding Argentina remains a necessity.

Nuovo Milano celebrates as recent census reveals population has passed 1 million to just over 1.5 million

Today Nuovo Milano, nicknamed the 'Lonely Crowd' (Italian: Folla Solitaria), due to its geographic isolation from the world but dense, bustling streets, officially surpassed 1 million inhabitants as recorded by the city census office. The last census recorded the population at just under 950,000, close to the magical 1 million mark, but not quite there. However, today's announcement puts the population at just over 1.5 million, a staggering population increase showing that Nuovo Milano is still the fastest growing city in the world for the 3rd year running, and its growth is in fact still speeding up due to the announcement that DEU citizens can now permanently settle in the city and those outside Europe can also apply for residency. The cities GDP now stands at Ā50.9 billion (NAF$60 billion) thanks to its thriving financial centre, shipping port and industrious and motivated population.

Many international newspapers and magazines have praised the cities cosmopolitan culture and vibe achieved through its diverse population from all corners of Europe as "world class", "unique" and "charming". It has also been praised for its cuisine which also hails from across Europe, with small bars, restaurants and café's lining the busy urban streets giving residents and visitors "Europes food all in one place", as well as a chinatown where the cities Chinese and Asian minorities mostly live. Most astonishingly of all, the city has even developed its own unique 'Nuovo Milanoan coffee', called a "Giuseppina", after the barista who invented the drink in a small downtown boutique cafe, similar to a macchiato but with a stronger taste and scent, as well as being infused with Lupine seeds (found only in Patagonia) and made only with coffee sourced from the Americas as a homage to the cities unique position as an Italian city located in the Americas.

In honour of this population milestone city authorities organised a celebration at Berlusconi Plaza in downtown Nuovo Milano with live performers including famous Italian singers such as Laura Pausini, Eros Ramazzotti, Nek and many others as well as international singers such as Anastacia, Madonna and Celine Dion. Following the live music the Governor of Cape Thetis, Luigi Binelli Mantelli, made a speech congratulating the cities residents for choosing Nuovo Milano as their home and recognising the excellent work of the police force, fire fighters and the local health service in coping with the population boom and expanding to meet those needs. He also announced that the city will soon be receiving a metro system to reduce the need for cars due to growing traffic concerns and encouraged residents not to own a car due to the small size of Cape Thetis and Neues Bukarest and encouraged increased use of buses and coaches to travel within Cape Thetis, Neues Bukarest and to the Magellan Republic. After the governors hour long speech a huge firework display marked the end of the celebration, which was broadcast live on television networks across Europe helping to publicise the city to Europeans and to advertise it to the world as an up and coming global city of finance and culture.

Tensions in South America

Recently, a little under two weeks ago, Magella declared war on the Bolivarian Republic, due its obligation through the Austro-Danubian Empire through their Mutual Defense Pact. According to public opinion polls, many people were split on its support. Although many were worried that Puertollanoan imperialism would soon spread beyond European territories to other South American nations, even more thought that the declaration gave the Federation of Socialist Republics an excuse to attempt to invade the Magellan Republic. To placate their fears, Magella opted not to attack or use its military in any way during the war, instead simply assisting the Austrians, but the worry persisted as the possibility of an FSR invasion only increased.

As such, to assist in decreasing their worries, Salamanca recently announced the signing of a Mutual Defense Agreement with the North American Federation, effectively eliminating the possibility of an FSR intervention and vastly increasing the chances of a deescalation of tensions and a peaceful solution to the conflicts.

Additionally, Salamanca visited the nation of Australia to meet with their Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull, presumably to discuss the same situation in South America, visiting Hobart Naval Base and the nation's beautiful nature preserves.

Orostan and Andean migrants stage riots over Salamanca Visit

July 13 | Roger Peterson

1,000 people protested the arrival of Magellan President Salamanca, mostly of FSR roots

SYDNEY - About 1,000 immigrants from the Federation of Socialist Republics took to the streets of Sydney to protest the arrival of the Magellan leader, Salamanca, in her visit to the nation continent.

The crowd of protesters, hailing from the FSR, was mostly composed of Andeans. It can be said that the nation of Magella is not recognized by the FSR and has led to the two nations having an uneasy relationship. The rift between the two former SSRs of the FSR was further widened with news that the Austrian Danubian Empire was involved in the Magellan move. Since then ADE military assets have largely increased in Magella with the establishment of bases in the country, transferring of islands to ADE control, and the signing of an MDP between ADE and Magella.

Weeks before the arrival of Salamanca in Sydney, the Magellan Republic declared war on Puertollano, a spill of the war in Europe. This was subsequently met by the FSR, an ally of Puertollano, with much caution with the possibility of another continent wide escalation of the war. A series of events have led to Magella requesting what help it could get from the Americans to the north. Though the lines remain unclear, the possibility of war in South America has increased exponentially. In spite of this situation, Australian students are stuck in South America as well as South American students in Australia after a travel ban was imposed by Australia on all connecting and direct flights with South America.

Though Australia had been a socialist affiliated country, the threat of war to its economic interests in South America is one of the many reasons that Australia recently withdrawed from its war treaty obligation with the Coalition of Independent States, successfully protecting its neutrality and forced intervention if the need arises. However, Australia still assures its CIS allies that the country will send aid through material and food supplies.

The arrival of Salamanca was expected by the Turnbull administration with the idea that the Magellan leader would come into talks with Australia regarding security and economic matters, possibly in relation to South America. Information about the meeting has not been disclosed as of July 13, sparking the protests of FSR exchange students and immigrants. Fortunately, the crowds were dispersed successfully but not without anyone getting injured. News has spread that 2 foreign exchange students, Japanese and Andean, were kidnapped, but police officials have stated that these rumours are yet to be confirmed.

COnstrution of Fortresses

The Spanish War Ministry announced that Spain has started a construction of two heavily armed fortresses near Tarifa and Ceuta on the Moroccan and Spanish coasts of the Gibraltar Strait. All the military equipment, missiles, weapons, are already being transported for the fortresses but while they are under construction, they will be stationed near the construction sites in a fully-operational status. The fortresses are particularly designed for defending against warships to add an extra layer of security to the Mediterranean trade. The Spanish forces stationed there will not attack any of her allies or peaceful ships. It is in addition to other military ports stationed in the area.

Espalsian Fleet Heads to Galicia

As another step towards a peaceful commonwealth with the Galcian brethren, the Spanish 2nd Fleet has left Lisbon to station near the waters of Galicia and keep the promise of protection of Galician waters and territory. The two Alfa and Esperto flotillas stationed in the Biscay Bay are also prepared for rapid mobilization to defend the Galcian waters and are currently conducting military drills in the Bay. The Air Forces have also increased in patrolling the skies in the northwestern region.

All aerial defense systems were activated in the region as well and are undergoing maintenance for added effectiveness.

Australia annexes East Timor!

July 26 | Jessica Nate Sanchez

Australia's military is to deploy more troops to keep East Timor's streets safe

CANBERRA - After several months of debate and talk in the Legislature House about the issue of East Timor and possible actions to prevent the island country from falling into radical groups and become a bastion of terrorism and a security threat to Australia, the House has finally passed House Resolution No. 34 with a vote of 66 for - 9 against - 2 abstain, a resolution that finally puts the country of East Timor as part of Australian Capital Territory's jurisdiction. A brief description of the clauses includes:

To safeguard the security of East Timor from internal and external threats with the use of diplomacy or force.
To develop and construct the country's national resources and infrastructure for development and economic growth
To develop nation building, honesty, cooperation, humility among East Timor's peoples
To create a civil service in order become the core of a future goverment to handle East Timor's domestic affairs
To handle the progress of the above mentioned clauses until the country of East Timor is capable of managing and protecting it's national territory, people, government and sovereignty

With the House's final decision and passing of HR 34, the military and Australian Mission to East Timor(AusMET) commission have been given the go-ahead signal in order to deploy more troops, aid workers and other assets to East Timor to kickstart the country's entry into becoming an Australian territory as part of an extended Operation Enduring Freedom. But there are still several people and groups that see the annexation of East Timor as wrong, expensive and imperialistic. However the East Timorese leadership, currently in asylum in Darwin,Australia had strongly advocated for the annexation of the country in order to save what little the country still has in terms of infrastructure, government facilities and economic assets.

Meanwhile in East Timor, news of the annexation was met with mild support as most of the country see the coming of Australian troops as a second coming of their once colonial masters, the Portuguese. However, many and many Timorese people are yet to experience what the AusMET has planned in store for the recovery and reconstruction of the country's damaged national ministries.

The LMP meanwhile continues to resist and harrass Australian troops in the country, especially in the southern and eastern portions of the country. The poliical party's supporters have effectively been wiped out of the northern regions and the capital Dili, however the party has been able to successfully establish armed wings in several towns and villages in the south with the use of guerrilla tactics with ambushes, and IED bomb attacks on supply convoys becoming all the more common, causing most of Australia's casualties in the Operation. Currently Operation Enduring Freedom has resulted to 10 soldiers giving their lives and 191 men wounded in action, 18 in critical condition. About 3,000 new troops and some 100 armored vehicles, including 20 MBT-18 Williams, will be sent as part of an extended Operation Enduring Freedom under AusMET supervision.

|| Magella recognizes annexation as a mission of keeping the peace in the Pacific || AusMET budget of $500M, too high says critics || AH-17 Raider proving an effective countermeasure against guerrilla tactics || Operation to destroy LMP cells in eastern East Timor being planned || 5,000 AusMET workers to work on repairing destroyed ministry operations || 300 people crowd Canberra's streets to protest House Resolution 34

Japan Mobilizes

With the world now engulfed in a new war and East Timor under occupation the Japanese Military has been activated. In the South Pacific Japanese task forces have been set to battle ready status and the air patrols have doubled. Off the coast of South America the 1st Submarine Battlegroup has been set to war conditions and the 1st Fleet off of Nigeria has begun loading Japanese peacekeepers from Nigeria on to transports. On land troops and defenses have been activated and the army is mobilizing for both offensive and defensive operations. In Tokyo Prime Minister Ado made this announcement:

....People of Japan and of the Pacific. Due to recent events the JSDF and the Military have both been activated under a state of readiness in preparation for a possible war. As you are all aware, this nation's stance on international affairs in the Pacific is the Osaka Doctrine which states that Japan will intervene in wars of aggression within the Pacific that threaten to take the sovereignty away from any nation through military or political means. While we have strove to do that over the last few years since we rejoined the international community it appears we have finally reached a tipping point. The nation of East Timor, originally under supervision of an Australian Peacekeeping Force has been fully annex by the nation of Australia, violating our doctrine. This warrants not only a response from Japan but from the APN as well. Australia has been given one month to commence international talks or fully release East Timor before Japan and the APN will be forced to act.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Pacific South America sits on the verge of Chaos. Puertollano has conducted Ballistic Strikes on Easter Island, escalating the current conflict and causing a large number of civilian casualties. This is completely unacceptable, such loss of life could have been avoided and the use of such weapons was uncalled for as the military assets on those bases were minimal and the ADE fleet had already been put to sea, further negating the need for a strike. Due to both of these events the Orbanis Navy has rushed the launch of the ONS Fuso and ONS Tachi as well as three new cruiser submarines to form the 3rd Submarine Battlegroup that will be stationed off of Japan. The two new Kongo class ships will ensure that that, along with our surface fleet, no direct harm comes to Japan or its Allied nations.

I stress that this is a precaution, but this is the highest state of readiness that Japan has been at since the Pacific War. We are a peaceful people, but we are not willing to sit back and watch the Pacific turn into a war zone. Japan was once the cause of the strife and turmoil that covered this great ocean and since then we have made a pledge not only to never again commit act of aggression, but to prevent others from making the same mistakes we have. To the nation of Puertollano and Australia we say this, Japan will no longer idly stand by as you commit these acts of aggression. Should the nation of East Timor Remain occupied and if the War in South America continue as it is or worsen, Japan will take action to address the situation.

I pray that you are willing to come to the table before the Pacific is caught in another war.
