Economics Minister decries NAF interest increase - pro-gov supporters rally in street

The Minister for the Economy has decried the efforts by the North American Federation to raise the interest rates in the Bolivarian Republic in reaction to the coup d'etat in Zimbabwe. "What we are seeing is a de-stabilisation campaign against the revolutionary government of President Castillo," the Minister warned. "It is an attack against all Puertollanoans, and we will unite against the threat from the North while they attempt to breed poverty and disconnect in our nation after the successful efforts of the President and our party." These words have motivated the supporters of the government to take to the streets in reaction to the economic attack against the nation. Supporters have flooded the streets of Bogota, Caracas and Quito in response to the NAF interest increase. The strains of the protests are of anti-imperialist nature and supportive of the President, someone who has refused to speak in public on the topic. It's unusual in Puertollanoan politics for Castillo to outsource such a speech to a minister of his cabinet, there are many theories around why he hasn't personally spoke about it. "We're not going to take this sitting down," a supporter of the government said in the streets of Caracas. "Again, we're under attack by the imperialist forces working to undermine the Bolivarian Revolution. When we invest our oil money into eradicating poverty in the nation, the North American Federation try and undo all of our hard work." This anger has caused a fire bomb to explode in the political headquaters of the Alliance for Democratic Values, a pro-NAF party within the country. Reportedly no one was killed but the interior of the HQ was burnt to a crisp according to the local fire department.

Politician Purposely Interrupts Senate for Nefarious Purposes!

Today, there was quite a ruckus in the Senate Chamber of the National Congress. Senators likely entered the meeting prepared to discuss important world matters, such as diplomatic responses to Zimbabwe and Nigeria, but instead found themselves evacuating the chamber as animal control officers attempted to capture not one, not two, but five domestic chinchillas that had escaped their cage. These chinchillas were found and captured hours after, but many were still left scratching their heads as to how they got into the chamber.

Soon after, it was revealed that Senator Armando Gutierrez had brought the animals into the chamber, defending his immature action by pointing out that there is technically no rule against animals in the chamber. The freshman politician, recently elected by riding on the coattails of failed presidential hopeful Carlos Sanchez, is notable for being very obstructionist on any cooperation with the FSR, as with many others of the party coalition that seem to support destabilization and war. According to news website thefsrdidnothingwrong.com, the politician has had a troublesome past with the FSR, often spouting blatant anti-Orostani hate like "communism is historically ineffective" and "nuclear weapons should not be proliferated in South America."

The remnants of the Popular Front coalition have been calling for his removal from office for deliberate interruption of government processes, citing his obstructionist past. However, these valid concerns will most likely not amount to much in the European-aligned majority which often silences any and all opposition.

Gutierrez, for his part, claimed that he was planning to have the animals checked by a veterinarian after the meeting and that they had escaped when he "accidentally" left the cage open when feeding them.

Uninformed Citizen Attempts to Doom Nation!

Antofagasta resident Felipe Hernendez recently launched a legal case to allow Magellan entry into the Democritus European Union, claiming that, due to the fact that the boundaries of the continent Europe are not defined, there is theoretically no legal rule preventing Magella from becoming a part of the terrorist organization.

The DEU, as it is called, includes imperial nations such as the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Germanic Union, both known warmongers. Often becoming involved in wars for no reason other than greed and a desire to spread influence and power at the expense of residents of the wartorn nations, these nations also happen to be close allies of the illegitimate Magellan government. These nations use military might to suppress the rights of workers across the world, most recently in Africa and Poland. They attempt to beat back citizens as they fight for their rights, massacring all those who disagree.

Normally such an association as the DEU would remove the membership of such nations, but instead it has endorsed them, showing that the DEU itself is corrupted by the imperialistic motivations of these nations. To associate Magella with these nations even further would be a mistake, and would most definitely send the wrong message to workers across the world who fear for their lives from the European invaders.

I know people who support this legal challenge! Or at least, I USED to know them.

The Continental Standard
Long live Europa

"Generation Europe"

In a show of true bipartisanship, Conservative President Philippe Noir and his Social-Liberal opponent Charles Dupont today met in Strasbourg to announce a new Seventh Republic foreign policy of 'Generation Europe'.

Our two political factions disagree on many things, but Europe is not one of them. Europe is an issue which transcends national borders, as well as the social and economic ideological doctrines of the left and the right. The DEU unites our continent, 'from the Atlantic to the Urals' as the followers of President de Gaulle might believe, although some might suggest perhaps Europe now extends to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and end of the Euro Sea, or to the Asia-Pacific frontiers of Russia? Apparently somebody in Megalla suggests that Europe is universal, and that anywhere can be included in Europe. Regardless of these theoretical debates, it is clear that the DEU has become a force of positivity through social, political, and economic integration. But as people are born and raised in this 'European Generation', we must make sure that the EIM is perfected, that the supporting structures are put into place alongside the economic developments.

Both sides of French politics are already beginning to work together to author new endeavors which will fulfill the needs of our continent's people, now and in the future. European institutional organs for ensuring fair competition, prevention of market failures, promotion of social welfare and education alongside reforms to existing projects related to energy, space, security, employment, travel, and banking; this is what is needed for our ambition of a successful and prosperous Generation Europe. We look forward to working alongside our Russian partners in particular towards this goal, as they have expressed support for cooperation in achieving these plans. However, we are open to work alongside any other member states who wishes to participate.

Edifice Global Developments largest ever project - $17 billion Cape Thetis commuter belt

Today EGI announced its largest ever project, the development of the Cape Thetis commuter belt. The development will consist of 29 towns of varying sizes on the Magellan section of the Mitre peninsula which is virtually unpopulated. EGI will be building all of the infrastructure required for these settlements such as roads, schools and hospitals. Key infrastructure such as roads and hospitals will have ownership given to the Magellan government once complete while other aspects such as leisure facilities will be leased out to companies that wish to operate in any of these towns. An indoor Euro Sea Waterpark (due to cold climate) will also be built in the area, the second to be constructed and the first outside of Europe.

Once fully complete and occupied the commuter belt region will have around 2,795,000 residents, this is almost 1.5 million less than the entire population of Cape Thetis, however the territory's population is still rapidly growing and is reaching capacity, meaning that this high number moving out of Cape Thetis can be justified, especially since these numbers living in the commuter belt wont be reached until the 2030's when Cape Thetis will have even more people squeezed into it.

Once complete the towns will be like any other commuter town with facilities such as libraries, swimming pools, a high street, mall and all the other amenities expected in a large town. EGI will also be responsible for building apartment complexes and mixed-use developments in the centre's of these towns however the suburban areas outside of the town centre's will be build by different property developers or individuals who can purchase plots of land that will be connected to the grid and sewage systems. This allows each town to develop unique architecture and design and gives individuals the chance to build their own home. EGI will make money through selling or renting out the plots of land which have a high land value due to the proximity to Cape Thetis where 85% of residents will work. EGI has also teamed up with Trenitalia to built a commuter rail network that will connect all 29 towns together and provide the important connection into Nuovo Milano Central station.

Those who live in these towns will mostly be made up of Europeans and Magellan's, and while almost everyone will be working in Cape Thetis they will be paying Magellan taxes as they will be serviced by the public services of Magella. Despite this, since announcing the megaproject EGI has already been contacted by thousands of individuals, mostly families, as well as some property developers to put down a deposit on their plot of land to get a slice of the 'Cape Thetis Dream'. Being able to have a garden, take walks out into the wilderness and have a large home has been the dream of many Cape Thetis residents, particularly families, due to the fact that the entirety of Cape Thetis is now built over in high density apartment blocks and office towers. While many love the city lifestyle, it is not for all so this project will allow more people to move the Cape Thetis be alleviating the pressure of housing demand.

A map published by EGI showing the locations of each new town numbered by population aims:

1. Gallicano - 200,000
2. Roccasecca - 200,000
3. Zaccanopoli - 200,000

The Patriots win Super Bowl LV, Tom Brady officially retires

Feb 7,2021 | Arthur Cranpim

Tom Brady finally, after playing for 19 seasons,retires as the Greatest of All Time

TAMPA,FLORIDA - The New England Patriots finally win their 7th Super Bowl in 19 years after defeating the Chicago Bears 35-31 in Super Bowl 55 at Tampa, Florida.

The Patriots last won a Super Bowl just 2 years ago in Super Bowl LIII, beating the Los Angeles Rams 13-3. After a grueling 2020 NFL season where the Patriots managed a 12-4 record for a second consecutive year, the Patriots got a bye week for the NFL playoffs.

In the divisional round, the Patriots met the Indianapolis Colts led by Quarterback Andrew Luck, WR TY Hilton and RB Marlon Mack. The first half saw the Colts play a running game with Mack going for 1 TD, 93 yds in just 7 attempts and Luck passing for 114 yds. The Patriots were led by Quarterback Tom Brady who passed for 357 yds, and had 2 TDs, 1 going to Chris Hogan and another to Cordarrelle Patterson.RB Sony Michel rushed for 88 yds and a TD. The game ended with a score 27-13. The Pats were able to get back to the AFC Championship game after last year's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Divisional Round.

In the AFC Championship game, the Patriots matched up with the Kansas City Chiefs, who were for the first time part of AusGroup. The 1st half was an offensive showdown on both sides as Tom Brady passed for 266 yds and 2 TD courtesy of James White, 88 rec yards, and Edelman, 102 rec yds. KC QB Patrick Mahomes passed for 308 yds but was sacked 6 times and got intercepted in the 2nd QTR. The 2nd half saw the Patriots finally run away with the game as Sony Michel and Rex Burkhead each got a TD, with Brady passing for another 182 yds .FInal score 29-17.

Super Bowl LV was held in Tampa , Florida at Raymond James Stadium, with approximately 80,000 attendees. The Bears were able to score the first points in the 1st half 5 minutes into the game, but was answered by the Patriots with a 21 yd rec TD by Brady to Edelman with 0:32 seconds remaining. This marked the first Super Bowl ever in the Brady-Belichick era that the Patriots were able to score in the first half. In the third quarter, CHI QB Mitchell Trubisky passed for 208 pyds, 2 TD, leading the Bears 24-7 with 4:07 remaining. In the 4th quarter, the Patriots went for 151 rushing yards with James White, Rex Burkhead and Sony Michel, with the latter 2 having a TD to put the score 24-21. At the 4:08 mark, Brady passed a 18 yd TD pass to Edelman to put the patriots up 28-24. However, a long 55 yd pass by Trubisky put the Bears at the Patriots own 25 yard line. A play action pass for Trubisky ended with a touchdown and put the Bears with the lead, 31-28, with just 1:43 remaining in the clock. But the Patriots were able to mount a 6 play, 74 yd drive, that pushed the scrimmage line to the Bears 94 yard line, with 0:09 second remaining with no Timeouts. In a suprising move, the Patriots went for it at 2nd and GOAL, with Sony Michel rushing 6 yds for the TD. Pats win 35-31. Tom Brady was named SB MVP after finishing with 474 pyd and 2 TD.

With the win, the Patriots have won 4 Super Bowls in the last 7 years and 7 Super Bowls in their 19 year dynasty. Tom Brady, 44, and Bill Belichick,69 won their 7th ring together since 2002. After the game, Brady announced that he was now retiring for good from the National Football League. Belichick earlier stated that he would continue to be the Patriot's coach for 'a couple more years'.

Overseas Bases undergoing massive rehabilitation

Feb 10,2021 | John Bracken

Gwandar Australian Military base in Gwandar, Pakistan is rapidly
becoming the second biggest overseas base of the military

PERTH - The Australian Military Command recently held a press conference. Spokesperson Cpt. Andrew McGates told the press that the military's overseas bases will be undergoing a massive rehabilitation of systems,equipments and facilities. The rehabilitation of the bases comes after the Legislature House approved a $23.20B appropriation budget for the military's modernization and rehabilitation program. This huge budget appropriation has been widely criticized by both the government and public.

The Australian military has 12 overseas bases, the 3 South American bases have been deactivated, across Asia, Europe and Africa. Out of the 12 bases, 8 have naval facilities and 5 have airbase facilities. $17.50B will be appropriated for the rehabilitation and upgrading of naval facilities. One of the biggest landing spot for these naval budget will be Balabac Island Military Base where the revitalization of port dockyards and airbase hangars and additional facilities will be eating out nearly $5.5 Billion. In separate budget appropriation , all airbase capable bases will be upgraded with Helios III's Zeus Land Variant - Laser Weapons System (ZLV-LWS) as the military introduces new next generation technology of air defenses, costing around $3.80B. Budget will also be spent on additional hardware such as building of oil depots for military vehicles , offices and barracks for officers, double strengthened electric compound walls, maintenance costs, and miscellaneous fees.

Surprisingly, the next second biggest budget dump after Balabac is Gwandar Military Base in the southern tip of Pakistan, which is appropriated with approximately $4.25B. This , along with the recent naval activities of the the Navy and ongoing operations in Nigeria, are suspected to be the main causes that the base in being ramped up for future military operations.

Almihria and Puertollano to sign first-stage trade agreement

MASTUNAR-Almihria and Puertollano signed an agreement on Monday to start trading on preferential terms. The formal signing of the deal, on which agreement had previously been announced, is one of only handful of concrete steps Almihria has made towards ensuring that all the trade deals it currently benefits from will develop and grow. "Not only will this help to support jobs throughout Almihria but it will also be a solid foundation for us to build an even stronger trading relationship with the south American power as we are entering more and more the world trade,” Trade minister Ahmed Babri said in a statement.

Puertollano has agreed to ramp up the oil exports to Almihria at a discounted rate in exchange for Almihrian agricultural products. In addition, Almihria will allow Pyuertollano to build cheaper factories on its territory helping the south american power to recover from the sanctions put on it by the NAF.

Mastunar Supports the Australian Base

The Emir of Mastunar Hassan al Fahdi has expressed his support of the Australian base at Gwandar. He called the base a bridge through which Almihria will develop its cooperation with the western world. Currently, the two government are discussing more plans of trade

Elections for National Assembly scheduled

Elections for the major legislative body in Puertollano is set for re-election soon, and the campaign battle has begun underway. It will be primarily contested by the Movement Towards Socialism (MTS) party, the Conservative Round-Table Party (CRTP), New Social Party (NSP) and the Communist Party of Puertollano. Hopefully buoyed by the recent landslide of Castillo in the Presidential Election, the Movement Towards Socialism is wanting to expand its' majority over the National Assembly to ensure the continued passage of socialist reform in the nation. The Conservative Round-Table Party believe taking the National Assembly will be the only way to 'halt the anti-business agenda from the Castillo Government', according to an Opposition Spokesperson. While Isabella Jetil, after failing in her bid for President, is running for a seat as a representative for the Panama Region of the Bolivarian Republic, the primary location for support of her 'New Social Party'. Current polling is expected to be too early to tell, but the initial indications show another victory for President Castillo on the horizon. The Movement Towards Socialism is to release its manifesto in the days to come, but the CRPT has already come out swinging. They are proposing massive privitisation of currently public utilities, lowering the corporate tax, lowering tax on the highest income brackets and impeaching the President. The New Social Party is emphasizing social democratic virtues in its election pitch and has promised not to cut the social programs instituted by the Bolivarian Revolution if elected. The Communist Party of Puertollano is facing a rift in the party, a pro-Castillo wing wanting the party to run as a subsidiary of MTS and a hard-line Marxist-Leninist Faction, speaking positively of the FSR and criticizing the President for not being left-wing enough.

"Impeach, Impeach, Impeach!" Alejandro Piena, leader of the CRPT said at a press conference.

Tentative Peace reached in Zimbabwe

The Zimbabwe Civil War may finally be coming to an end at both the MHD and the ZAPU have come to an agreement. The peace deal has been approved by all parties involved and its being reported that the MHD and the government military are standing down. The brief but violent civil war was triggered by Puterollano attempts at aiding the country that only spiraled further and further into chaos as the weeks went on. From the looks of the treaty, the country will remain neutral, atleast for a time, providing no clear advantage to any of the parties currently fighting over influence in Africa. The terms of the agreement are below.

1. Both the MHD and its supporters as well as the government/Puertollano and supporters will agree to a ceasefire as long as these negotiations are going on. Any attack by either side will invalidate the ceasefire agreement.

2. The MHD will agree to stop the fighting if new presidential elections are called in Zimbabwe and the MHD is allowed to return as a legitimate political party.

3. Elections will take place 3-6 months after the agreement is made. Puertollano, Candaian and other international observers will be allowed see the elections to help prevent any fraud or mishandling. They are not allowed however to promote propaganda or financially aid any of the parties.

4.All foreign parties will remove themselves from Zimbabwe for the duration of the elections, save for Puterollano and the Canadian Forces. They will act as peacekeepers but be limited to 4,000 troops within Zimbabwe. After the election, they are to leave Zimbabwe unless invited back in by the government.

5. Regardless of the election results, the military wing of the MHD will stand down and rejoin the Zimbabwe army once they have been judged to be free and fair and results confirmed.

6. Regardless of election results, the ZAPU, MHD and CSN will fully investigate the numerous human rights violations against the Zimbabwe people and those responsible will be held accountable and punished.

7. A complete dismantling of the Puertollano firewall from the Zimbabwe internet and media to allow free and open elections to prosper.

8. A MHD and ZAPU mandated session of the Senate to reform the Constitution.

9. During this Ceasefire no weapons will cross from the outside world for either side.

10. Regardless of election results, Zimbabwe will remain netural in the current affairs of Africa for the next 5 years. They will not host any military units or bases within the country and will not interfere with any conflicts in the region unless directly threatened by them. They are however able to economically choose who to trade and do business with.

The new elections are scheduled to take place 5 months from now, July 2022.

Government creates 'ITALMINE' to begin 'Smart Mining' under Monte Rosa for gold

Today the government revealed a new government corporation named ITALMINE which will work with Iveco to develop a smart mining system to mine the gold field under Monte Rosa in the Italian Alps. Analysis of the geology of the mountain shows that there is more gold under Monte Rosa than there is under the continent of Africa. The immense gold field has never been accessed due to the difficulty of mining in the alps the threat to human life for miners working in such deep and cold mines so despite it being known about for a long time it has been left untouched.

However, the government has decided by smart mining, using remote controlled drilling and mine stabilising machinery, the gold field will be accessible and extraction can begin. The machinery itself has already been developed by Iveco in conjunction with ITALMINE which has been kept under wraps for several years. Once extraction begins and reaches full output the smart mine will see 200 metric tons of gold being mined a year, putting Italy in the top 10 annual gold producers, an in order to keep this level of gold extraction ITALMINE will also expand its smart mining to other areas of Italy that have known gold reserves that haven't been accessed such as other locations in the Italian alps and areas of Sardinia that have formally been used for gold mining but still have some untapped potential.

The government says that this gold mining programme has no money-making intentions and is entirely being used to increase the nations gold reserves as the government believes that a large gold reserve is an important stabilising factor for any government to ensure that money can be generated relatively quickly in an emergency as well as providing jobs for professionals in mining. Italy currently has the worlds 3rd largest gold reserve, behind the NAF (1st) and Germany (2nd) and closely followed by France which has the 4th largest gold reserves. Along with this planned increased in the nations gold reserves the government has begun moving all of its current gold reserves back to Italy as much of the reserves have been kept overseas for many years, but now will be distributed among the Italian Central Banks secret vaults across Italy.

The Central African Civil War carries on as two new groups emerge

The CAR Civil War carries on. The CAC and HCA clashed in a vicious battle that killed over 200 people, both fighters and civilian alike. While the CAC was able to push back teh HCA, the HCA was able to push backwards and gain some new territory in the east. The HCA, like its counterpart in the congo, seems to be equipped with weaponary that is left over from the Mauritania Civil War and seems to be mostly FSR based. Like in the Congo, this has confused CSN observers as the HCA is not a group the FSR would support. Yet their mysterious benefactor remains elusive. Both the HCA and CAC seem to be gunning for the city of Bambari.

However, two other groups have sprung up and its clear who their benefactors are. In the south, a socialist group called the Socialist African Republic(SAR) has been reported to have coalesced into a true fighting and propaganda force. The CSN speculates the troops are entering through and being supported by The Republic of the Congo. They seem to have control of most, if not all, of the Dzanga-Sangha National Park. The heavily forested area gives the group just enough cover to hide their supply lines within the jungle and access to country friendly to their ideology.

Russia joins the silk road

February 15,2022 | Isaac Livingston

Not only will Russian trade improve, AusGroup eyes expansion to Europe

MOSCOW - An agreement between Australia's AusGroup and the Russian government will now allow AusGroup's InterGlobal Trade System (ITS) to be inserted into Russia.

The agreement will be allowing for the construction of thousands of kilometers of highway and railroads, which will connect with present ITS highways and railroads from China. The agreement will also oversee the construction or upgrading of ports, trade centers and market centers.

The primary goal of the ITS, or otherwise dubbed "Silk Road 2.0" is to incorporate the Russian economy into the system through the introduction of no taxes and increased trading between borders on all goods passing the ITS. The increased trade will allow for the entry of more consumer goods to Russia from across the ITS, resulting into the construction of more shopping centers and hiring of Russian workers. From this, Russian goods will not be taxed by other signatory countries and Russian corporations can now easily expand into signatory countries without too much red tape.

| ITS stock rises by 7.5%|| Nearly 50 trade centers to open in Russia || 1,400km of road and railroad to be constructed as part of ITS, to be shouldered by Russia and AusGroup || Russians-first policy implemented as part of agreement

Australia annexes East Timor!

February 18,2022 | John Bracken

AusMET hopes that increased military control in East Timor will help stabilize situation

CANBERA - Australia formally annexes East Timor. This comes after nearly 4 years since the now defunct APN peacekeeping operation led by Japan and Australia had proved to be ineffective in maintaining peace and stability. New interest in annexing the island nation created 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-A with a vote of 70 for - 4 against - 3 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-A, 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, an experience The Australian Controlled Territory in Nigeria has been happily experiencing.

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 40 soldiers giving their lives and 492 men wounded in action. About 5,000 new troops and some 200 armored vehicles, including 40 MBT-18 Williams, will be sent as part of an extended Operation Enduring Freedom under AusMET supervision..

Singapore Enters a New Age

Singapore is known by many names from the Garden City to the Lion City but to the people living in it the city is a rarity in the modern world. One of three city states left, Singapore is an economic hub for the world with the Straights of Malacca being a major shipping lane bringing the city a large amount of traffic and income. Many banks and international companies have set up their Asian headquarters in the city, making the city a regional economic titan. With all of this large corporate influence many would expect the city to have a slew of environmental and social issues but for the most part the opposite is true. Singapore is a garden of wildlife with city planners actively looking for ways to minimize environmental impact and even reserving many parts of the city for parks. Socially while there is a high amount of income inequality there are very few individuals who do not have housing and the unemployment rate is below 1.5% consistently leading to a overall satisfied population. Singapore is often rated as one of the best places to be born and to live in as its prime economic position and social benefits from the government make the city a gem in Asia. However, the city is still dependent on the world for all its needs from energy and water to food and defense. The newly elected President, Kazi Haiping, is looking to change this as his predecessors in the People's Action Party have done for the last 70 yeas and make the city self-sustaining, but unlike his predecessors he plans to do this with the city's most important resource: Its people.

While Singapore lacks almost all of its basic resources it has some of the finest educational institutes and innovate technologies in the world. Singapore leads the world in niche markets like wireless energy, desalination, and hydroponic farming and Haiping is looking to expand that. Using the innovation within Singapore's borders the President is hoping to launch Singapore into a new Digital Age unlike anything it has seen before to create the world's first true smart city. While this plan is ambitious and many doubt its potential, many in Singapore feel anything is possible from the city that went from the biggest slum in Asia to a thriving metropolis in under 50 years.

Energy Grid Expanded

With the relative success of the low powered wireless energy system on Marina Bay, Nikola Wireless is looking to spread its system to much of the city. The Wave-Energy-System, or WES, uses radio waves to convert electricity into a wireless form of energy that powers small electronic devices, lights, and small appliances within its range and is currently employed at Marina Bay and within several small communities in houses. Nikola Wireless plans to have the system in every park and public area in the city but is currently setting up systems within the airport and the Capital Building for government use. However, the system is energy intensive and to meet the demand of the Wireless system and many new electric systems across the city the government has increased the funding for Singapore's Thorium Reactor set to come online in August. Once online the reactor will be able to meet half of the city's energy needs and eliminate over a third of oil and natural gas demand for Singapore, allowing the city to relocate funding elsewhere.

Ban on Protests Lifted

After years of the PAP and Government clamping down on Freedom of Speech it appears that things are about to change. Earlier today the government passed a new bill allowing small protests to occur in front of the Capital Building under direct supervision from the city's police department. While the demonstrations are limited to 1,000 individuals and can still be rejected by the government it is being hailed as a victory for activists who have long been fighting for the right to assemble. President Haiping stated today that he intends to allow more leniency toward assembly and the freedom of speech and that he intends to look into the possibility of ending the practice of capital punishment. While many are thrilled at this response some are wary since Singapore's mixed culture could lead to a possible confrontation situation with police should these freedoms be extended. Regardless, it is being viewed as a step in the right direction.

Hyper Democratic International Post

Toledo, now premiering in Canadian Theaters!
February 27th, 2022
Many have called it the most realistic, accurate, but oddly optimistic depiction of war since the last major Canadian war film; 2011

Canada is always talked about for its military might, surprise coups and absolutely shocking culture whether you take it as a good thing or as a bad thing. However, what often isn't talked about is the less chaotic side of Canadian culture. Their sports, entertainment and World Views. Their movies definitely reflect much of their World Views whether it be on War, Authority, the Modern World in general, etc. However what stands out about Toledo is how it's commemorated as having the best acting, most realistic and cohesive story and its controversial (at least controversial compared to that of much of the Western World) display of Canada's World View on war and conflict.

The movie jumps back and fourth between two stories, one of a Canadian wife and two sons back home in Winnipeg, and one of Damien Attwood (played by Montgomery Emerson) and his squad fighting under the Canadian flag on the front line during the battle of Toledo and some of the prior battles and battles following up. Toledo depicts the American-Canadian War as brutal and as unforgiving as it was, and cements that in its tone by showing how the casualties of war affects every individual soldiers, their reactions after killing a man in spite of them being foes, the general chaos of modern war, civilians getting caught up in the fighting, gore, and special effects. However, in that same breath, displays its brutal necessity, as it shows their mission as liberating a people from an authoritarian and malevolent regime, and as if war was going to happen inevitably in the first place.

The latter has been seen as controversial by many critics particularly from foreign countries or by other Republics within the NAF. "I simply can not understand the Canadian lust for war," stated Lucho Ferreiro, a Central American movie critique. "Why is it that after every movie or TV show they always have to somehow make the war look good one way or another? I don't understand how they can justify the taking of other lives." Some of these criticisms, such as the one stated by Ferreiro has been meant with some counterarguments and backlash from the Canadian community. "The reason why us Canadians don't see war in such a bad light is because we do not shy away from human nature," stated Owen Royce, a Canadian nationalist and veteran of the Canadian-American War, "it's human nature for us to one day die. It is human nature for us to fight one another. It is the natural order of things that bad things happen. To shy away or to paint war in a bad light is to keep a populace unprepared and unready to face threats when it inevitably comes to us. We learned that when the Soviets marched through Whitehorse and violated sacred land, when they raped and murdered Canadian civilians, and caused unbelievable death and pain to the civilian populace. This doesn't mean that we cannot be honest about the brutality of war, however." Duane Pherigo, another Canadian War veteran added, "If you want to cower under your sheets when somebody breaks into your house and threatens your family, then you are not a man. You are less than a man if you show you are unwilling to risk your life for your neighbour, let alone your wife and children. It should be no different when another power threatens your nation and your people."

In spite of some criticisms and controversy as to how they display war, reviews have overall remained very positive. Critics and movie reviewers calling it "Realistic," "Exciting," and "One of the best war films they've seen in decades." It's worth noting that the Battle of Toledo and the general 1995-1996 Michigan Front Counter Offensive was perhaps some of the most brutal fighting of the war outside of the siege of New York City, and the subsequent Defense of Boston around 1997 and the battle over the state of New York through 1998 to 2000 when the war finally ended. The battle of Toledo took around 780,000 lives; almost a tenth of all the casualties of the war.

DRC Civil War March 2022 Update

The DRC war goes on, this time with the government completely destroyed and pushed out of the country. The SRC has finally dismantled the former government of the DRC. Despite holding on for a large while and able to inflict sizable losses on the SRC, the DRC government has completely collapsed, with its surviving members fleeing the nation. The SRC now controls the only coastal entrance into the country and is able to fortify itself more as resources from China begin to flood into the country. The SRC has once again called upon the international community to recognize it as the legitimate government of the Congo. Already plans are being made for elections to be made at a local level as well as food and medical aid plans to help those in extremely impoverished areas. It is unknown if the SRC will intervene in the HCA/ICC war or intervene in the HFF and TDA war.

The HCA lost another battle, on the heels of a loss in the CAR Civil War. The ICC was able to produce a massive push and gain back some land from the HCA. The HCA is trying to funnel more troops from CAR but with both radical islamist groups bearing down on them, they are running into supply issues, even with the extra guns added by their benefactor. It remains to be seen who this benefactor is but they may not be happy with the HCA's performance so far.

The HFF made a huge push today, slamming the TDA and pushing them back hard. Now the HFF is bordering Rwanda, making the nation nervous. Peridoc airstrikes are being launched again but with the HFF's own benefactor supplying them with advanced MANPADS, Rwanda's options are limited, save for a full scale invasion(which they don't seem eager to do). The TDA is trying to rally and regain the land back, while Rwanda is calling out whatever European nations(if they even are) that are supporting the HFF are supporting genocide.

In the midst of all this, another force had made itself known. Coalsecing in South Eastern part of the Congo, the Hyper Democratic Movement for the Congo(HDMC), has been born. Apparently made up of former MDH, Canadian Volunteers and desperate people from the Congo, the HDMC is the smallest fighting force in the country but could become a massive threat to the other powers if allowed to further develop. So far they have taken over a few small villages and the small chunk of forest in the south east. That area is near the uranium mine that French forces have been holding for a few months but the HDMC has vowed to respect that presence and leave them alone.

Bolivarian Court of the Americas and the Caribbean (BCAC) founded

President Nicolo Castillo found his own alternative to settling international disputes after having departed from the CSN. The Bolivarian Court of the Americas and the Caribbean, or BCAC for short, is a legal court headed in Caracas, Puertollano that will help in resolving regional and international issues within the Americas and the Caribbean. Construction of the courts began after the departure of the Bolivarian Republic from the international organisation, with design input from famous architects recruited from the North American Federation, the FSR and Puertollano. The ethos of the BCAC reportedly to 'rule on regional matters with a voice from South America, defying international law instituted by the illegitimate CSN or other inter-governmental organisations'. President Castillo has already visited the courts upon construction and was present during the opening ceremony. The first issue the court will cover is the territorial dispute between the Bolivarian Republic and Guyana over the Guyana Essequibo territories.

Fitness Act proves successful in creating healthier population

March 15,2022 | Aaron Williams

The Ministry of Health plans to open several more F45 fitness centers in order to reach its goals by 2025

SYDNEY - Over three years since the Australian Legislature House passed Bill 4417 or popularly known as the National Fitness Act of 2019, newly gathered data is showing the benefits the Fitness Act has made for the Australian population's physical and mental health as well as the increased levels of happiness, participation rate, and standard of living.

Recent statistics have shown that obesity rates have declined to just 8% of the population, down from the 28.4% obesity rate recorded in 2019. Overweight rates have gone from 63.4% in 2019 to approximately 22%. The Ministry of Health has been praised by Canberra for accomplishing a great feat in the name of health and physical fitness. The Ministry has expressed its utmost commitment to continuously pursuing a "Zero Obesity Population" by 2025 and has been announcing additional construction of 20 F45 fitness centers every year since the passing of Bill 4417 to accommodate large numbers of gym goers as well as extending F45's services to rural areas.

A poll conducted by Australian Survey, an open public group that had been conducting polls in the country since 2015, recorded that 7 out of 10 Australians are happy with the current state of affairs in the country ,albeit the government plan to increase taxes in the coming year 2022 and increasing military interventions in Africa and East Timor, and are looking forward to more better opportunities in 2021. A separate study was also conducted in 100 government and private workplaces to study the level of output, efficiency and participation rate of Australian workers since the implementation of Bill 4417, out of 164,800 workers observed and studied on, 92,337 workers were graded "Excellent" according to a table created to grade the three key components. A medical study conducted by the Ministry of Health discovered that high blood-related medical cases have decreased by nearly half since Bill 4417's implementation.

Australian National Lines eyes major stakes to use Singapore's ports

MELBOURNE - Helios II has announced that it has made a $3.5B venture with Australian National Line, the biggest shipping line in the Asia-Pacific Region, to research a new fuel-efficient engine for its ships in order to less rely on oil and gasoline products that need to be imported from abroad.

The decision was made by the two AusGroup corporations in order to pursue the group's goal of cooperative business. It is also a indirect decision by Australian National Line to cut huge costs in fuel and maintenance parts in order to further launch expansions alongside TransGen into Europe and Africa as well as to solidify its status as the leading shipping line in the Asia-Pacific since the fall of Japan's integlobal shipping fleets. Since Australia and Singapore agreed on multiple deals, one of which is the zero taxing of Australian registered and chartered ships entering its ports, the company is eyeing to grab a huge stake of the trade volume that passes Singapore from China to the West and vice versa. Additional information has deduced that the momentous deal with Singapore will undoubtedly open the way for Australian National Line to carry Australian-Chinese produced goods in China to the West at far lesser costs and far higher profits.

With the opening of the InterGlobal Trade System routes in inland China and Russia, AusGroup is eyeing to do the same thing, this time on water.

Operation Savanna

The French Confederation has launched an airlift to the CAR. Following a pattern similar to that of previous interventions in the country, French forces are swiftly deployed to secure the airport at Bangui. Once the airport is under French control, it will be the epicenter of a huge relief force containing personnel, vehicles, medical/humanitarian aid, and military armaments. Once in sufficient numbers, the troops will move into the wider city and try to protect civilian property of all sides in the city from harm. Riot-control assets such as batons and tear-gas are also to be moved in to control any sudden revolt by unarmed inhabitants, however any armed insurrection could be met by similar force. Food and medical supplies would be distributed to the populace.

Even as this was being done, other paratrooper and helicopter-deployed/supported forces would deploy to Berbérati, Sosso, and Katakpo. This is intended to act as a means of containing the SAR terrorist forces. Landmines would be deployed, strips of vegetation would be cleared, and camouflaged armored vehicles and artillery positioned along the length of the perimeter in order to keep the SAR from breaking out into the rest of the country. UI-92 Bomber aircraft were also readied, and ordered to strike any areas where the enemy might try and cross the line. They would again fly outside of SAM range.

These were only temporary measures; speed would be key. Securing Bangui, Berbérati, Sosso, and Katakpo would hopefully only take a few short days or weeks as was the case in past deployments by France into the CAR. Immediately following this the task force would have ambitions of securing the neighboring area of Bimbo near Bangui. Additionally, a larger perimeter following the RR1, RN6, and RN26 would also be established as more vehicles and landmines arrive in the country over the coming days. It is hoped that 15,000 troops can be on the ground within a month, with it also hoped that there will be support from many of the anti-balaka as there had been during the previous French intervention against the Séléka in order to restore order. The past French offer at holding dialogue with the anti-balaka remains open, as hopes of establishing a provisional government once Bangui and Bimbo are secured are being seriously considered. The Confederation would be open to financing and arming the anti-balaka if they agree to work with the French efforts to constrain the socialists along the perimeter and act as provisional officials within French-occupied cities without discrimination.

Angolan Recovery Act

Today the Angolan Recovery Act was successfully passed by executive decree. Despite that, it went unannounced on public channels. The bill significantly extends the lines of credit that Angola could acquire from the FSR. A fixed amount of the credit lines has been reserved for food imports, while the rest will allow the purchase of capital goods. This will allow the country to expand its agricultural sector and improve its infrastructure.

The Angolan Recovery Act also offers the possibility of debt relief based on how well they achieve the two benchmarks specified in the bill. The first one is more weighted more importantly than the second and involves the reduction of corruption in the country. The current president of Angola is firmly against corruption and already has taken steps to combat it, and it's hoped that the Angolan Recovery Act will help speed up the process. The second benchmark involves the reduction of Angola's dependence on natural recourses and calls for Angola to diversify their economy.

Relatedly, as part of a separate bill, Angola and several other countries have been offered aid in the modernization of their planning infrastructure. Modernization of their planning infrastructure would help reduce opportunities for corruption, as well as helping improve economic efficiency overall. Should they accept it, advisors would be sent to help train the countries' staff how to use the new planning infrastructure while it's being installed.

In addition, the FSR has approved the transfer of a division to Rwanda in order to secure the country from the HFF, which many believe might be trying to restart the Rwandan genocide. The FSR has also warned the HFF that any attack against Rwanda would lead to FSR intervention against them.

Candidates of the election

With the current elections underway, the focus has been placed between the two most likely canidates in the election.

Ma Ying-jeou, NKMT

Ma Ying-jeou is the current cadinate of the right-wing NKMT party. Having worked as Justice Minister for President Chiang Ching-kuo during the KMT's rule between 1992-2003, and major of Hong Kong between 2004-2012. Being Foreign educated, earnign his LL.B and LL.M from New York University School of Law and S.J.D from Harvard. Fromally working in Wall street law firm untill returning to work under President Chiang. He has been able to secure the canidacy due to his ties to the old KMT and popularity within the new party. Runnign on a platform of conservative values, he is also pushing a more nationalist fevor than his opponents. Beign very critical of Presidents Lai transfer of Taiwan out of China's posession he has made it one of his primary issues.

Xi Jinping, SLPC

Xi Jingping is the canidate from the LSPC that has steped up. He comes back from exile with many of the desendants of the CCP afet their defeat. Son of the Communist leader Xi Zhongxun, he inherited little after his father fled with many to the FSR. Their he was raised by his fatehr and his compatriats that followed. He gainded a education in the Instituto de Tecnología de Miraflores in Lima for a degree in civil and environmental engineering, later on he gained a batchelors in Political Science from the Moscow State Institute of International Relations. He has worked internationally within South America and within the Soviet Union. With his ties to the returnign CCP and charisma, he was one of the linchpins in the creation of the LSPC after the NKMT formed. Running on a platform to impliment a more socialised economy and society, he has begun to gather support from the rural and urban poor. He has also begun stating that china should work harder to push the influence of the old "imperialist" nations from asia, statign that " They have always came to asia as locust, consuming for themselves with no reguard to the people they harm, and must be treated as such".

Unintended effects

The recent off-loadign of military gear by the state has begun to show some unwanted effects. The flood of cheep weapons rangign from asssault rifles to cold war manpads and ATGMs, have begun to spill into the world's black market quickly. Speculators have said that the power of the Chinese Triads have begun to show as thanks to how quickly the arms have turned up in the market. Crime watch organisations have begun to critiside the military for this actons as they belive that the Triads have become even more heavilly armed thanks to the off-loading.

Recently there have been worrying reports of a growing Ebola outbreak within the former boundaries of the DRC. This led to Congress recently approved to undertake a major humanitarian mission within the Socialist Republic of the Congo. Although the disease is currently believed to be contained in Kivu, it's expected to spread due to wartime conditions exacerbating the problem. This led to Congress recently approving to undertake a humanitarian mission within the Socialist Republic of the Congo.

As part of the humanitarian mission, countless clinics would be set up within SRC territory. The doctors there would provide free and quality healthcare to the Congolese people. The medical staff in the SRC will also seek to educate the populace about health risks and how to avoid them. Meanwhile, medical schools would also be opened in the SRC in order to help train the next generation of doctors in the country. In addition, food and clean water, as well as second-hand clothes will also be donated to the SRC.

In the meanwhile, the Ebola outbreak will be watched closely for any signs of development. Stockpiles of vaccines meant to prevent the disease will be sent to the SRC and Rwanda. As they're limited in numbers as of the of the moment, they will likely be utilized in ring vaccinations, where only those most susceptible to being infected will be given the vaccine. The FSR has also opted to increase its production of the vaccine, which could be potentially shared with other countries in the future.
