Motion to condemn Folksland passes States' Assembly

This morning in the States' Assembly, the upper house of the Crylantian Federation, a condemnation of the regime known as Folksland was proposed by members Rike Ansen (Gp - SG), Veikko Hietala (EI - VI) and Mette Johannasdottir (TF - AV) in the States' Assembly.

The bill was co-authored by the Green member for Sønderburg and the Forefathers' member for Viikmaa in response to the attack on the Vrnallian medical ship in the early hours of Sunday, in order to show bipartisan support for a condemnation: Ansen and Hietala are considered to come from two very different political trends, with Ansen's left-libertarian views contrasting Hietala's conservative seperatism. Trúathi Party representative Johannasdottir was quick to co-sponsor it; the half-Newreyan member has been very vocal in criticising Holt's government in the Kingdom of Newrey and the Folksland.

The bill was thus put forward this morning, with Ansen describing it as a "display of our nation's disgust at the actions taking place in and across the Lhedwinic Channel" and declaring its compliance with the famous Article 7 of the People's Law, declaring Crylante to be a "democratic, secular, neutral and social federation" by claiming that "the definition of neutrality intended by the authors was not one of inaction".

While most of the Assembly was supportive of the motion, some delegates of the agrarian-conservative Farmers' Party declared their opposition, citing a constitutional commitment to neutrality and refuting Ansen's remarks on the interpretation of Article 7 - Karen Østergård, a Farmers' Party member for Stavrup and co-chair of the Artikel Syv pressure group, a cross-party isolationist group opposed to Crylante's recent turn to a more interventionist policy, said about the measure that "no matter how disgusting the actions of the Folksland, it is unconstitutional, and un-Crylantian, for us to be so involved in the affairs of Asura". Ljone Kopparberg, a Socialist member for Nixoperuit, notably filibustered in order to try and stop debate, going on a long story about the Aversi crisis of 1916 in order to highlight perceived problems with intervention.

After the voting, the result came through as 45-17, with one abstention. While most of the Reform, Socialist and Trúathi parties voted in favour of it, and both Green representatives and the Forefathers' representative voted in favour, the Farmers' Party voted 9-8 against the motion, and the People's Party saw one vote for and one abstention.

The bill is expected to go to the People's Assembly later this week.

NEW TERROR WAVE?
Party militias hard pressed against internal mujahedin attacks

The Malufi supremacist(anti-clerical iconoclast) terror group; altariq alsahih-lilhakim(True way of the Wise One) launched a deadly rocket attack on Wednesday to Fedayeen Kataeb forces advancing on another opposition group, a monitor said.

Altariq fighters managed inflict several casualties to the party's personal militant guerillas, a difficult campaign has been waging a month-long assault backed by Republican Guard and artillery support to oust the terrorists from the area Heijjor valley. Violent clashes had erupted to worst level last 72 hours resulting to 35 government troops deaths; it has been reported reprisals on confirmed relatives of terrorists have occurred on a tit-for-tat situation. The local SRU spokesman denied any such action: "No honorable fedayeen would ever do such an unspeakable act. This information is not true," SRU media official Mustafa Hussam Abdo told OBS.

Altariq published a statement on its social media accounts on Friday describing the attack by "angels of truthful Irsad" against fedayeen fighters as righteous, quoting: they have forsaken the wisdom of all-Merciful, following the corrupt ways of an criminal atheist regime using its gunmen killing innocents.

The Observatory of Majulan Affairs said the jihadists had taken advantage of an concurrent operation against other terror group during a sandstorm raging in the remote region of the southeastern parts of the country, lacking any power of any kind has contributed massively to the terror groups.

In one month of fighting in the surrounding area, at least 110 government soldiers and 297 terrorists have been killed, the monitor said.
The party militias has destroyed or ousted several groups. Founded in 1978, they have always spearheaded internal counter-terrorist operations as the army had been hard pressed after decades of long wars - essentially making them unpopular using them as a tool against fellow citizens as the shadow of 1985 yet to extinguish. Hundreds of Republican Guard commandos have arrived in the area to assist in operations.

On Saturday, government forces announced that a Arstvini national fighting among its ranks had been killed near Hejjor.
Over a dozen government soldiers and fighters of foreign descent have been killed in the fighting.

Both external and government officials predict violence would soon wane down as these groups slowly losing support over the years as many tied with organized crime

Lhaeraidh Troops Occupy Defence Line One
Cuirpthe Defence to be Priority

Defence Line One has been formed and occupied by Lhaeraidh forces in Cuirpthe. Representing the boundary between secure Cuirpthean territory and the still contest areas held by rebel forces DL1 will be the primary area of deployment for Rí-Airm troops entering the conflict zone. While the line itself is now held by forces in the field primary defences such as small trenches, sangars, and bunkers are still in the process of being built. The line itself will not be a continuous line of fortifications, but rather a series of fortified observation posts each capable of communicating with mobile and air forces deployed behind the line in order to ensure a rapid response to any effort by rebel forces to push beyond the line. Artillery units have had their bombardment zones limited by the government of Cuirpthe, however may fire zones within DL1 have been approved in those areas which are not populated or of infrastructural importance. In short Rí-Airm ground forces will be able to call down artillery barrages, but only in pre-approved locations and only with the permission of local Cuirpthean commanders.

The primary goal of the taskforce, which is referred to by officials as TCP-A, is to hold DL1 and prevent further advances into Cuirpthean territory. Rí-Airm troops and assets will not be employed in offensive operations because the treaty between Cuirpthe and tir Lhaeraidd specifically prohibits offensive action and only allows deployment in defence, a point which is likely to come under review upon the conclusion of this conflict. At present Lhaeraidh air assets are providing reconnaissance and medical evacuation support to Cuirpthean forces during their efforts to push back into rebel held territories while the bulk of TCP-A's ground forces wait in reserve in a state of constant readiness in case rebel forces opt to try and cross DL1. The result of this policy is that Lhaeraidh troops have seen only minor skirmishes thus far with no major engagements forthcoming as yet.

MILITARY AID FOR NEWREY?

Von: Jana Rothaus
17.10.2018

SIGAIREN, Tudonia. A few days ago, Prime Minister Johannes Hartmann gave a speech in the Reichspalast in which he called for military aid for the Newreyan monarchy. During the past days, many have been vocal about their opinion on the issue with the overwhelming majority of Tudonians seemingly supporting the deployment of Tudonian soldiers in Newrey to fight Folksland - a group that now is officially labeled a "terrorist organization" in Tudonia. Now, as the first soldiers are about to be sent to Newrey, protesters have gathered before the Reichspalast in Sigairen, suggesting that not everyone is happy with Tudonian military aid for Newrey.

Holding signs with slogans such as "NO to War" and "Prevent the Aid for Newrey!" and shouting slogans similar in meaning, almost half a dozen protesters protest the deployment of Tudonian soldiers infront of the Reichspalast, an important governmental building in Sigairen, the capital city of Tudonia. "I want to prevent the deployment of Tudonian soldiers because - ehm - it would only make the situation worse," says Irena Köppman, a middle-aged resident of the city, before continuing: "In the end, we should make something to stop the civilians from suffering rather than making them suffer even more with sending even more soldiers and arms to the area." "Personally, I don't like support the war and I think like noone should do so," adds Hannah Kampmann, a young girl who made headlines last year after not being given a place at Lindenheim University due to her refusal to dye her hair in a natural colour. "I think the biggest problem is that people decided to pretty much ignore us and our protest," she says.

In another part of Sigairen, the situation looks different. In Westende, one of the poorer suburbs of Sigairen, people are openly celebrating the government's decision to intervene in the Newrey⸗Crisis. Whilst this is not too uncommon in Tudonia at the moment, something is different here; It is places such as Westende, who suffered from a loss of industry in the past decades and now have an unemployment rate significantly higher than the Tudonian average where most volunteers come from. Many see a chance in the current situation. Westende. No other place in the Kingdom of Tudonia has shown a higher approval rating for any sort of military intervention in the Newrey⸗Crisis: Almost 98%.
Yet another part of the city and yet another scene: In Tannenberg, everything looks normal. No protest against the deployment, no celebrations for it. According to polls, Tannenberg has a very average approval rating when it comes to the issue. Tannenberg seems to be quite typical for Tudonia in regards to the issue: Silent support. Eventhough there are smaller protests in some Tudonian cities, it seems as though the silent majority approves of military aid being sent to Newrey. Some polls, however, suggest that most Tudonians find that the Newreyan monarchy must be reformed. As the Newrey⸗Crisis seems not too far from ending, the Tudonian government must not only help militarily, but must help with the necessary reforms and rebuilding of what Prime Minister Johannes Hartmann described as "our Lanamannic brothers in Newrey".

BREAKING: Chalcian troops deploy near the Midrasian-Cuirpthe border

5,000 Chalcian personnel are being airlifted to Midrasia to participate in the CDN Coalition. Combat operations expected to begin shortly

In a sudden turns of events for the Newreyan Civil War, the Commonwealth of Democratic Nations has collectively declared war on the rogue state of Folksland some days ago. This comes in a period of turmoil in Asura, when the Veleazan crisis has not even been completely contained yet. The Chalcian Republic was one of the nations that took the brunt of Veleazan aggression, and the memory of war is rather fresh to the Chalcian people, with ruined villages,roads and farms being commonplace in the north of the country, with the rebuilding process still underway, and the Chalcian Armed Forces still on high alert and standing vigilant at the border.

Regardless of the situation in the interior however, it has been announced by the Ministry of National Defence that Chalcia will be participating actively in the CDN Coalition against Folksland, and that a formal declaration of war has been issued against the rogue state in concert with other CDN nations. In the official Ministry of National Defence that was published earlier today, it was stated that as part of the CDN's Drago Entente, the Chalcian Armed Forces "must do their duty to the organisation for the preservation of international peace" and "fight against terrorists and war criminals like the Folksland government". Specifically, the 34th Mechanised Infantry Brigade "Gorgopotamos" (7th Mechanised Infantry Division), has began its deployment to Wincaestre Airport in northern Midrasia, and additional units will follow. The official statement of the MND states that the Chalcian effort will number roughly 5,000 personnel, so more units are expected to follow the 34th MIB.

The statement caused uproar from the opposition in the Parliament today, with the Communist Party and the Movement for Progress criticizing the move, with the former stating the the deployment of troops signifies the active participation of the Chalcian government in CDN imperialism against foreign nations, and that it will only result in Chalcian deaths for the interests of the foreign and domestic capital. The right-wing Free Chalcia is the only major party that has endorsed Chalcian participation, supporting the Ministry of National Defence that the Republic must fulfill its duty to the Commonwealth and the world.

Kollpenoy Federacy re-bans abortion, same-sex activity

Kollekine- To the surprise of liberals across Mahisialand, Kollpenoy Federacy
formally

Kollpenoy Federacy Senate approves the bill

banned abortion, same-sex marriage, and other assorted things during yesterday's meeting. Of the 75 federacy reps, 62 voted for, 11 against and two abstaining. The bill, titled the [Kollpenoy Federacy] Morality Law, entailed the illegalization of abortion except if either the mother or baby's life is threatened, offering up to 8 years without parole for any doctor that performed them in other circumstances. It also banned same-sex marriage and made all current same-sex marriages null. Any same-sex activity is now punishable with up to 4 years with parole after 18 months. Liberal reps stood adamantly against the bill, and the party on the national scale has condemend the bill. The Traditionalist-Pioneer-United Coalition endorsed the bill and supported it within Kollpenoy. The fedearcy's Administrator Johan Vargo supported the bill.

Kollpenoy automatically legalized all abortions and same-sex acts including marriage in 1994, when the Liberal's successfully passed the Mahisian No Matter What Bill in 1994. Opposition to the bill and the Liberal party was rife in Kollpenoy and still is. Liberal protesters attempted to campaign against the bill outside the Kollpenoy Government Building in Kollekine, but a far larger group of conservative citizens forced them away. Polls show 72% of Kollpenoy Federacy supported the law. A person with connections to the Liberal party was also stabbed this morning, then hospitalized with moderate injuries. This has caused concern for police and politicians. Rumors are circulating that a man attempted to shoot liberal rep Xoan Lugeie last night. The police are currently active in protecting the politicians in the wake of the vote.

Kollpenoy Federacy is a cold division in the south of Mahisialand. It had a population of 498,690 and it's capital is the town of Kollekine, with a population of 57,548. The largest city in the federacy is Danvard Cross, populated by 102,329 people. The federacy has always been heavily conservative and has supported the Trad-Pioneer-Unity Coalition (TrPU-C) since it's foundation in 2010, and before that Kollpenoy supported the Trads. Kollpenoy also has the smallest Ayoubian population of any federacy, with just under 70,000 of the 500,000, being Ayoubian. Those are primarily South Diachorics. The Asuran population is mainly Lhedwin, but there are some Vvardreni, especially in Kollekine.

BREAKING NEWS: Hegoalde High Court disbands Elkarrekin Batua
Written by an anonymous writer for department "Politics" - images from Kutxa.br under free domain laws

Batasuna Beltza members vandalizing and destroying a police vehicle.

HEGOALDE, Brilliania The head of the Hegoalde High Court, Zurutuza Marin, has officially ordered the disbandment of the Elkarrekin Batua party after a 6-month investigation into leaked financial documents leaked by the recently assasinated Orua Okuna finally confirmed the rumour circulated by other parties including the ruling Alliance of Young Democrats: Elkarrekin Batua (formerly known as the Labour Party) is funding the terrorist group Batasuna Beltza. The nine members of the Hegoalde High Court voted 7-2 to disband the organization "Elkarrekin Batua IAGE" (IAGE being a legal term for a non-profit organization) on accusations of illegal terrorist funding. A total of 178 members of Elkarrekin Batua were arrested at their party headquarters for several charges including, but not limited to:
association with a banned organization,
funding of terrorist organizations,
violent assault,
attempted murder,
inciting sodomy,
larceny,
disorderly conduct,
resisting arrest,
assault of a police officer,
threatening to kill the Lehendakari,
and coercion.

Batasuna Beltza (Black Movement) is a radical leftist and self-described "anti-fascist" terrorist organization which gained prominence earlier this year after organizing a massive smear campaign against Lehendakari Elexalde Haran, claiming he has assaulted several women in his previous term as President. The protest involved graphic depictions of violence on protest signs, massive usage of swear words, property destruction and an impromptu exhibition of modern art pieces which were banned from being showcased publically because of the 2017 Act Against the Display and Distribution of Immodest Artwork and Music. They have also reached national headlines for the murder of the Patriots voter Gambara Ixaka in front of his wife after he left the election booth, causing Ixaka's wife to push the murderer to the ground. One of the election observers was a Batasuna Beltza operative who managed to get a glimpse of Ixaka's vote for the Patriots and signalled it to the murderer which was waiting outside the polling station.

Several former Elkarrekin Batua MP's have started new parties, with more parties to follow. Brillian law does not allow for independent politicians in the legislature - all MP's must be members of a political party.
With Elkarrekin Batua destroyed, officials from the ruling GDA have high hopes and are happy the leftist terrorists have been caught.
May the martyr Orua Okuna be remembered honourably for her sacrifice to better the Brillian nation.

Tapetihans Celebrate the Beginning of Pemitmasasètwastew

21.10.2018
Ornar Ragnarsson

Nordhurstadt, Nordhurlant. Today, October the twenty-first, marks the beginning of the festival of Pemitmasasètwastew fro many Tapetihans around the nation. This festival is traditionally celebrated in the last eight days of October, and stems from of way of preparing for the winter. Easily perishable food is eaten during this time to make way for more stable foods that will last during the long winter. Traditional food and drink are normally made from leftovers from the months previous, including dishes like roast hog or deer, juātat, a coffee-like drink made from wheat kernels and alcoholic beverages like istuiasètsamqwan, a wheat beer occasionally flavoured with mayflower extract.

While not a recognized holiday by the government, it is celebrated by virtually all Tapetihans as the festival dates back to pre-colonial times, and even some Nordhics partake in the festivities. A large majority of businesses were closed today with the exception of government-run entities, meaning most Nordhics did not have work and instead relax at home. While it may be hard to buy food itself or receive non-essential public services today, most of the nation will have prepared by stocking food over the last few weeks. A few grocery stores open in Nordhurstadt centre around the capital, where many Nordhics flocked today in an effort to keep their own fridges full. An incomplete list of open grocery stores in Nordhurstadt is as follows:

Madmagasin, Grimmr Larsson & 7^e
Madmagasin, 8^e & 5^e
Norðbutik, 15^e & 3^e
Norðbutik, 8^e & 3^e
Norðbutik, 13^e & 4^e
Mamas madskopp, 16^e & 1^e

Business continued as usual in central Nordhurstadt, where the majority of the population is Nordhic. The resentment of Tapetihan culture has however began to fade unfortunately in cities such as Jakālesamān, where the Nordhic population is reported to have participated in Pemitmasasètwastew in previous years and much more so this year. The Jakālesamān Pemitmasasètwastew parade toured the city in the early afternoon, bringing floats of traditional Tapetihan symbols such as the fire-mother, kasātkiūl néāsnikekkāl in addition to various animals such as deer, hogs, moose and bears. Children also dressed up as animals to accompany the parade, giving the city a joyous and vibrant feel, further adding to the ever-prosperous image of Nordhurlant throughout the year. The festival's first legal celebration was in 1979, following the glorious institution of the Freedoms Act.

The festival will ahve adequately prepared the Tapetihan citizens of Nordhurlant for the long winter in using the least amount of resources possible, making room for large amounts of non-perishable foods such as pemmican and dried fish in addition to jams and dried fruits like pawpaw or apples which are cheap and last long. The festivities will officially end on the thirtieth of October, making this year's festival nine days long. As this year's festival winds down, Nordhurlant will return to its hard-working state, providing a life of plenty and excess for its citizens.

String of Arrests Following Major Break in Investigation
Assassination Conspiracy Unravelling

A string of arrests across tir Lhaeraidd's three major cities (the capital, Aurharbwr, and Saied) today follow a major break in the investigation into the assassination attempt against the Taoiseach. The Garda have released reports stating that eighty nine individuals were arrested in the early hours of this morning in one of the largest coordinated raid and arrest operations in Garda history. Garda units raided fifty three separate properties across the three cities following evidence uncovered throughout the length of the investigation. The raided properties were variously occupied by corporate businessmen, PMC members, and political activists and of the ninety six targets only seven evaded arrest. Full details of the seven fugitives are available on the Garda and Government websites.

The arrests follow a significant break in the case after the arrest of Sean Ingram, an alleged professional thief and conman. Though Sean Ingram was in no way suspected by authorities of involvement in the assassination plot prior to his arrest after he was taken in to custody he made a plea deal with the authorities in exchange for information. From Ingram's information, which was subsequently confirmed, the conspiracy started to unfold. Ingram had been responsible for a series of high profile theft-to-order operations for an organisation known as the NLF in which he stole a number of items from various individuals and companies; according to Ingram the NLF is a wealthy shadow organisation seeking to bring an end to the democratic reforms in tir Lhaeraidd and a return to the system of plutocratic neutrality.

With the information obtained from Ingram the authorities have been able to piece together a web of conspiracy stretching through many major corporations as well as PMCs. It seems that a large number of PMCs and their members are ardent nationalists and want to see the restoration of the absolute monarchy in tir Lhaeraidd and the restoration of corporate authority. According to Ingram the NLF sees the Taoiseach as a threat to their unrestricted ability to operate, and with the ongoing scandal regarding the hiring of PMCs by corporations to strike at their rivals this view only solidified. He further claims that the full scale of the Corporate War, most of which occurs in secret, is far greater than currently anticipated. Though the NLF ordered the hit against the Taoiseach many other factors came into play and several senior executives from various corporate entities knew about the plot and the NLF's overall objective.

It would seem that the authorities were able to verify Ingram's claims quickly and with a great deal of certainty, since their response has been so swift and decisive which puts forward the troubling notion that the talk of corporate warfare on a scale as yet unrealised is true. Are we secretly living in a nation plagued by vicious intrigue, murder, and corporate criminality without even realising it? Right now the paranoid and conspiracy theorists must be having a field day, and one must sympathise with them, after all recent events have only proven many of their claims, though I would be tempted to hold off on buying into their claims that a cadre of lizard people secretly pull all the strings. In any case the most trouble matter is that this Corporate War is very clearly being fought with very real weapons, and has now involved targets within our government, how long until it spreads among the civilian populace?

Controversial Fahrani cleric lashes out at Zahir and Dayganistan
June 9th, 2018 - Alia Nathani, Correspondent

Sulh, Fahran - In an incendiary sermon delivered to his congregation last night, firebrand imam Bilal Magamad, a close personal friend and spiritual adviser to President Mohammed Sabbagh, castigated President Aryana Zahir and the government of Dayganistan for their recently vocalized stance against the Religious Freedom Act of 2018. The imam allegedly referred to Dayganistanis as "sodomites who prefer the company of young boys to that of women" and "infidels."

While the sitting Grand Mufti, Jalal al-Din ibn Husayn al-Nawaz, has yet to issue a formal statement supporting or condemning the remarks, which occurred in the context of a sermon on the Irsadic conception of natural law and the pernicious influence of inordinate desires, cautious pundits are speculating that Fahran's Supreme Irsadic Council will take forceful punitive action against the controversial imam. Junada al-Qharid, the leader of the People's National Congress political party, gave a blistering response to the sermon on the Senate floor, stating unequivocally that "there exists no place in civilized society or true religion for bigotry of that order, especially not at a time when our republic is striving to foster unity between disparate races and ethnic groups."

The president has himself been conspicuously silent about the flaring scandal, and pointedly refused to address assembled journalists outside the Qasr am-Aswad earlier this morning, choosing instead to board a helicopter bound for Cor where a rally in favor of Tammuzi equality will occur tomorrow. This response elicited some criticism from left-wing members of the legislature, with representatives of Fahrani Socialist Action vowing to filibuster proposed legislation until the ruling Irsadic Unity Party takes proactive steps to censure Magamad and repair damaged diplomatic relations with Dayganistan.

Magamad was seen as the likely appointee to succeed al-Nawaz in the event that the incumbent Grand Mufti retires or otherwise vacates office, due principally to his proximity to President Sabbagh and his wide-ranging influence within the Irsadic Unity Party, for which he is the acting chaplain. Magamad has been called a vocal advocate for racial equality, social welfare, and anti-corruption measures, despite his often virulent speech and stout social conservatism. It remains to be determined precisely how this will impact the imam's career or the Irsadic Unity Party's chances for reelection, but this hasn't been Magamad's first brush with controversy.

Shock announcement came during a television Party Assembly

Tolvas- Months after the commencement of the ceasefire agreement, a proposed peace agreement was finally published with the terms that many in Veleaz would hope bring about a stable peace, to end the so-called 'Bloody October' on a high note. However, the truth was the reverse, with thousands of Veleazans assembling in multiple cities across Veleaz to protest against the proposed terms. For the assistance of our readers, a summarised list of the peace terms are as follows;

-Alzur returned to Midrasia in line with the PSV's violation of the Alzur treaty of the 1980s
-Redrawing of Chalcian/Veleazan border along ethnic boundaries
-Dreyvisevich granted sea access to the east
-Current communist party to step down, its leaders to be tried in international courts for potential war crimes/crimes against humanity
-The Veleazan communist party is to be disbanded and banned under its current marxist-leninist form
-Drawing up of a new democratic constitution for Veleaz
-The holding of free and fair elections in Veleaz according to all international standards and norms, overseen by impartial international observers
-In return the new government of Veleaz is to receive economic aid and investment from the CDN (pending approval)
-Allied forces shall aid in the suppression of any continuing guerrilla resistance as well as training new Veleazan military forces until such time that the sitting administration requests their departure

The response to these terms, as previously mentioned, has been overwhelmingly negative, with much of the criticism and anger directed towards the surrender of Veleazan territory, such as the Alzur island, home to nearly 3 million ethnic Veleazans, as well as the surrender of of territory to the south for Dreyvisevich, a nation with whom Veleaz shares a tumultuous history.

Answering the demands of the people, Antonio Bardem, and much of the ruling Interim Commissariat, stood before the assembled crowd of 100,000 in Tolvas. During his speech, Bardem openly criticised the proposed handover of territory, aligning the Midrasian negotiators to their more bloody colonial past, while, in a particularly vicious attack, compared the handover of the southern territory to Dreyvisevich as 'giving a vulture a living cow because the vulture helps clear a field'. He went on to further condemn the move due to the belief that Dreyvisevich had no casus belli for war, and merely wished to get involved for the sake of getting involved. Further, he refused to even acknowledge the possibility of banning the Communist Party of Veleaz, stating it as openly hypocritical to the democratic beliefs of numerous nations, while also making clear how interwoven the Party was to life in Veleaz, that to remove it would be to remove a child from its mother at a young age. At the end of the speech, he commented that maybe Veleaz should apply for membership in the Mydramonde, due to how much Midrasia expects from Veleaz.

Polls taken during the protests also align with the points President Bardem had made, with nearly 80% of those polled objected to the handover of Veleazan land, as well as objecting the the interference of the CDN in Veleaz (72%). However, this does not prove that people wish for the war to continue, as 86% of those polled wished for peace, but with revised peace terms that did not see Veleaz crippled as a nation and reliant on others.

Written by an anonymous writer for department "Politics" - images from Kutxa.br under free domain laws

New plans from Elexalde: Voting to be limited.

HEGOALDE, Brilliania Lehendakari Elexalde Haran has announced new plans for a structural renewal of Brillian politics. The Zamalloa massacre has caused major damage to the composition of the Parliament, with just above half of the MPs remaining. Most of the lost MPs were expelled or killed in the massacre. He is using his emergency powers for this renewal, causing controversy with moderate MPs. The proposals were originally plan of a constitutional amendment package which was planned to be put to a vote in early November, although the massacre prevented the vote from happening. The package will include promises made for a long time by the current Lehendakari, although they have been widely decried by leftists and moderates. The plans include:
- Total block of immigration from outside of Asura
- Limited voting: Women, unemployed and unintelligent men to be disenfranchised
- Upper house to be abolished
- The Lehendakari may edit law proposals made by the Muntaia
- Legalization of the ability to forcefully withdraw Brillian citizenship from criminals
- Legalization of the ability to put people unfit for society in camps for their own safety
- The Lehendakari may appoint Muntaia members
The Lehendakari has also announced the grouping of the pro-government parties Alliance of Young Democrats and Our Homeland into the Brillian Coalition. The Coalition will not be a replacement for the parties and the parties will still function seperately.

CUIRPTHEAN FORCES RETALIATE IN THE EAST
Major Gains Made on the Eastern Front, Invasion on the Horizon?

Earlier this month, the devastating news of invasion by Folksland shook the nation. The Cuirpthean government fell into chaos as sides were taken, and protesters took to the streets in wake of the event. Throughout October, the Cuirpthean military has been slowly mobilizing along the eastern border to retake the Eallsabh region from the Folkslander invaders. The enemy had fortified the east bank of the Eallsabh river in preparation for the incoming army, making gains slow. The army did little more than hold the line as fighting intensified with the introduction of Lhaeraidh troops.

Public approval throughout the war has been mixed, ranging from full support of an invasion to requests to simply give up the land. Throughout the early parts of the month, protesters swarmed Ballinluska, both at the Railhairle and the military High Command, in protest of the war. As protests turned violent, riot police reported to the scene to disperse the crowd. The frequent need of this across the entirety of the month has culminated in a temporary ban on public demonstration in the city, incriminating any protesters who march in the city. Portlaoise, another city mobbed by picketers, has yet to pass such a law.

But the destruction of a Vrnallian hospital ship by Folkslander forces, one of the most serious war crimes imaginable, has forced the hand of the Railhairle, and has shifted public sentiment toward invasion. The government voted nearly unanimously for full scale invasion into Folksland's territory, and urging from them as well as Aquidneck has led to the formation of a CDN coalition. This past week, the military broke through the Folkslander defense in various locations, reclaiming small regions of Cuirpthe across the Eallsabh. Forces are currently being rerouted to reclaim the northern portion of Eamouth, after which will follow a full scale invasion into western Folksland. Cuirpthe has received the support of tir Lhaeraidd, Chalcia, Midrasia, Aquidneck, Arzvan, Liiduria and Sarpory and Vemnia. Newrey, currently suspended from the CDN, has not commented on the announcement for invasion, though are expected to oppose.

New Hope - Prime Minister Konohiki stood with the leaders from the Queen’s Coalition and Aeian Public Health Director-General Dr. Kelly Iaukea outside of the National Congress to announce the passing of a bill that will send millions in aid along with a peacekeeping force to protect emergency aid stations now being built in and around Cuirpthe.

The violent civil war in rebel controlled Newrey spilled over into the nation’s ally Cuirpthe nearly two months ago. Since that time two different bills supported by the Queen went to the People’s House, where a growing minority voiced enough outrage to destroy the first bill and trigger a wave of nationalist protests led by the Ajerrin First party.

The first bill, which not only condemned the rebel invasion of the state of Cuirpthe but also authorized the Queen to send 5,000 soldiers into direct line of fire, embarrassed the majority coalition in The People’s House by losing 338-216. While the majority of the United Freedom Party’s 205 representatives supported the Queen, many faced condemnation from the public at the thought of sending troops to fight on foreign soil.

With mounting pressure from the Commonwealth of Democratic Nations, the Queen’s Party worked tirelessly with its allies in the National Congress to build support for a foreign military intervention. After weeks of Ajerrin First rallies in cities across the realm the Queen’s party reluctantly changed their position from military intervention to aid and support.
The newly passed bill, titled “Humanitarian Support for the People of the Cuirpthean Republic” passed 289-265. Dr. Kelly Iaukea, a prominent figure in the nation’s political world, praised the bill for being “a sensible way to support the wellbeing of the Cuirpthe people and the protection of APHO professionals.”

The bill will send the 5th Combat Support Hospital under the APHO flag that will act as a field hospital along with the ability to create a dozen emergency aid stations to provide triage for injured persons or longer term support before transport to the field hospital. The aid stations will provide food, water, recovery supplies, medical aid and become a focal point for groups to find missing persons.

Also included in the bill was the creation of the 19th Battalion Aid Force, which will defend the 5th CSH and APHO professionals.

THE OSTRIC ACT:
Proposed act sees Ostry as a full-state of the federation until 2021

Chamber's majority leader Marita Rosett is the main figure behind the "Ostric Act".

Berke - During this Thursday’s Chamber’s meeting, the government coalition presented one of the biggest and most ambitious plans to this day: The elevation of Ostry from a national territory to a federal state. The plan, Ostric Act, was proposed by the pro government union formed by the Navish Progressive League, Navish Green Party, and the Labor Social Alliance, led by Marita Rosett, the Majority Leader of the Chamber. It is also known that the current governing coalition in Ostry supports the Act and is using its influence to raise the popularity of the proposition in the Island. The Progressive-Republican Ostric coalition also divides the Republican-Nationalist coalition in the mainland. For instance, the most conservative branches of the Republican Front and the Nationalist Party are against the Act, arguing that giving more freedom by taking more freedom is suicidal and will spark the Ostric independence conflict even more.

Since the Gardrag Agreement, in 1994, the Ostric separatist movement has been a constant influence in both regional and national politics. During 2008 and 2009, tensions between the separatists and unionists arose, led to several clashes between protestors and the police. Recently, during the month of October, 2018, a series of terrorist attacks struck the capital of the island, Jakóbgard. The attacks were linked to the clash between the rising Ostric nationalism and the far-right Navish nationalism. The current local government tried to smoothen the attacks, due to their alliance with the mainland government -- Such action generated even more insatisfaction among the Ostric people. For instance, the government coalition has positive thoughts regarding the Act. Marita Rosett says, “We honestly believe that the Act will finally bring peace to both Ostry and Navack. We have been trying and trying since the Gardrag agreement, but nothing really changed. We believe that this will be the first step towards a peaceful navo-ostric future.”

Therefore, fearing any more increase in the general non satisfaction with both regional and national government, the Ostric Act came to be. It had been voted by the chamber and it approved my the majority, with less than 80 votes against, moving the plan forward to the Senate. In a nutshell, the Act states that Ostry, once approved as a state, will have 1 year to hold new elections for governor and more 1 year and 6 months to show self sufficiency and independence. Aside that, the Act also propose the investment of 850ʂ million for infrastructure and new projects. The act also states that Ostry shall have 90 days to vote and adopt a new flag, following the standard format of the Navish state flags. The act also proposes that the current Ostric political scenario is maintained -- Ostry will not have to adopt the normative 5 parties system, currently in use in the mainland. Besides that, Ostry shall now elect 2 Senators for the National Senate, instead of 1, standard for national territories and the Federal District. With the approval of the Act, Ostry will be the 13th state of the Union, following Honningden, approved as a state in 1985.

The Senate will be voting on the proposition in January 31st. In case the project is approved by the Senate, it will be sent to the hands of Helle Schanke, who shall give the last check mark for the Ostric dream to become true. Stay tuned on NINK TV and NINK.com for further news.

Amundsen resigns from Progressive leadership as anger mounts
Amidst a still-mourning Ostry, Mark Amundsen resigns from decade-long position
By Oddmund Staroste
28 October 2018

Regional Administrator Mark Amundsen speaks to the press while in Berke, announcing his
resignation

Although almost a month has passed since the attack on Jakóbgard that left ten dead, Ostry is still in shock. Only yesterday was Adam Hagen, the ultranationalist who caused the bombings, moved from the military base in Sommeren to mainland Navack, where he will face trial. The Regional Assembly now de jure meets in the Regional Administrator's apartment while Government House continues to be scoured and cleaned of debris, although the Assembly itself hasn’t even met since the 4th. In the words of Sara Gwiaska, a Jakóbgard local, “the island’s been frozen since then. Everything is slow and painful and I think most people are still getting over what happened.”

It is in this atmosphere that Regional Administrator Mark Amundsen announced to a crowd in Berke today that he will be resigning from the position of leader of the Ostric branch of the Progressive League. Speaking in his native Navish, Amundsen stated that “for twenty-three days, I have been working tirelessly with the federal government to address what has happened. To secure Mr. Hagen, to bolster the security of Ostry and Navack as a whole, and ultimately, to move us past this dark chapter. However, I have come to the conclusion that, in this moment, it is unwise for me to continue to chair the Ostric Progressives for any longer. We need new people, new minds able to move us forward, and safely so, into a new Asura. Therefore, I am effective immediately announcing my resignation as leader.”

The resignation of the man nicknamed “Mr. Ostry”, who led his unionist coalition for over a decade and who will be ending his second and last term as Regional Administrator in May of next year, has brought a new sense of uncertainty to the situation. It is no secret Amundsen’s resignation is connected to a deep drop in support for both himself and the federal government as a whole since the attack. “People are just sick of the Navish response to this. It’s been agonizingly slow and Amundsen and Schenke are more interested in talking in the backrooms of Berke then coming here and helping has made me lose a lot of my respect for them. Do they even know that sztrasa Antónka is still closed? That the first plane to fly into the airport since the 6th was on Thursday?” stated Erik Stenberg, one of the volunteers helping to clear remaining debris from the affected areas.

Although Hagen is now secure on the mainland and it seems the island is returning to some sense of normalcy, it remains to be seen if 6 October will remained burned into the Ostric conscious.

Asura is blowing up; Leidense Republic refuses to involve Itself

Congress of the Leidense Republic shoots down proposal to send military aid to Folksland

The Congress of the Leidense Republic in session on October 15th, 2018; Headed by First Senator Naomi Jozef.

Written by Emma Veerle, BFR.

The time is: 11:43 PM LST
The date is: 29th of October, 2018

[ Original Piece–BFR ] – In a meeting with the Congress of the Leidense Republic, the Congress was called upon in the controversial issue of Leidense aid and material help within the Republic of Folksland and the Kingdom of Newrey. The First Senator of the Congress, Naomi Jozef, brought up the issue as the most important issue within Leidense politics in terms of its relationship with the CDN. Within Kristofer Cornelis's reign as President, the Leidense Republic has seen decreasing amounts of effort with the organization as an effort to consolidate its position on the stage of the world.

President Kristofer Cornelis issued a statement that was subsequently addressed by Edgard Hendrick, concerning the issue. In a statement within his speech on October 12th in Grote-Vlissingen, in the Republic of Bunschoten, quoted verbatim, "The status of Leiden as a nation within the Commonwealth of Democratic Nations that will assist in the perilous and controversial situation within both the unrecognized Republic of Folksland and the Kingdom of Newrey is not in question as of now. The executive branch hereby holds that the Leidense Republic shall retain it's right to choose whether or not to involve itself within Drago Entente operations and choose not to involve itself by any means necessary, including manpower or material aid. The Congress of the Leidense Republic will decide the final position of the Leidense Republic, but as it stands there will be no official aid sent to Newrey or Folksland, including military aid to any country involved." This statement was later pushed out as a public notification to independent members of the Commonwealth of Democratic Nations.

This statement comes hot at the heels of the controversy of Sebastiaan Altena's escape to the neighboring country of Mascylla around the same day of Kristofer Cornelis's speech. Sebastiaan Altena is wanted within the Republic of Bunschoten for crimes revealed by Federal Governer of Oortogseiland
Nelis Klein Lokin. The Federal Government of Oortogseiland has handed over the case of the sexual assault and first-degree murder of Madelien Becude, within the state of Ottelien. The controversy with Sebastiaan Altena remains a big issue within the Leidense Republic as a sort of rabbit's hole for the widespread corruption prevalent within Uitkijk and Bunschoten.

The Congress debated the issue and released a public ruling, stating, "The Congress of the Leidense Republic shall stand juxtaposed to the President of the Leidense Republic and the entirety of the executive branch concerning the issue with the Commonwealth of Democratic Nations and the situation in Newrey. The Congress has ruled that the Leidense Republic will not intervene nor send aid to the area that is claimed by the Republic of Folksland and to the sovereign Kingdom of Newrey. The Leidense Republic sees no reason to reconsider the claim to the right of our choice to involve ourselves within this issue."

This response elicited very positive and fervent backing by the Leidense Population and the majority of the parties that are present within the Congress of the Leidense Republic. The majority of public polls that were garnered on our site, the Blue Flame Republican*, that over 92% of the population was against any sort of involvement with the situation in Newrey. The status of Newreyan refugees, if any, falls under the same hat in that the government of the Leidense Republic will not accept any. This issue has not been brought up by the Congress but is predicted to go on the floor soon before the closure of the war.

Royal University Hospital bombed, Gendarmerie hunt suspect
Shayel ben Igor Mizrakh

The Royal University Hospital in Yam-Yaroq was the scene of a bombing earlier today in what the Capital Region Gendarmerie are treating as a major terrorist incident. Parts of the capital are off limits as the hunt for the perpetrator continues, and members of the public are urged to remain calm and avoid high-traffic areas for the time being. There have currently been eleven confirmed fatalities as a direct result of the bombing, though a number of other people are in critical condition inside the hospital, which was conveniently near to the site of the bombing on Rashi Street.

The Gendarmerie have confirmed that they are only currently seeking one suspect based on CCTV footage prior to the attack, and have released images of a male with dark skin and shaved hair. They have warned that the suspect may be armed and that any citizen who sees him should "hold fire and call the authorities". The motive of the attack is currently unknown, although Qehiloth MK Even Soheir, who is renowned for an anti-Mzinku stance, was admitted yesterday for minor surgery, which may be connected. Moreover, the police have stated that they cannot rule out the possibility of this attack having been planned by a group, and therefore have warned of the possibility of further attacks in the capital region.

The explosion occurred on the same street as the Royal University Hospital, though further down the road from the entrance, where Rashi Street joins with the busy shopping area of Tolvas Street. Footage of the moments prior show the suspect riding a bike to the intersection, wearing a large backpack. The suspect then removes this, leaving it against a traffic light, before cycling away. A few minutes later, a bomb inside the pack detonates, causing major damage to nearby vehicles and partially collapsing an electronics shop.

The Gendarmerie are understandably choosing to withhold details at this point, though we have received assurances that they are focussing their efforts on tracking the suspect and preventing another act of terrorism. Details are being posted to the Chirper account @HipasiaCRG as and when they become available.

Aquidneck to leave the Entente?

By: Aristo Scelfo
31 October, 2018

Torden, Aquidneck - The Cabinet of Aquidneck under the leadership of Progressive Prime Minister Ruperto Petrillo is considering leaving the Drago Entente at the conclusion of the operations in Cuirpthe. Multiple senior officials in the government who spoke on the condition that they remain anonymous confirm that the Prime Minister and the Deputy Prime Minister are in agreement that the DE is broken and is unable to deal with the issues currently facing the members.

The Commonwealth has seen some troubles particularly in the past month in what has come to be known as 'Bloody October'. About half the members are not giving any aid to Cuirpthe which had invoked Section II which calls for members to send aid, this comes on the heels of the invasion of Midrasia and Chalica in which many member states did nothing. The DE has been popular among the people of Aquidneck and Aquidneck was a founding member of the organization, however now it is seen by a growing number as Aquidneck and a few other members propping up and supporting the rest. The betrayal of Newrey and the reaction, or lack thereof, by many member states has not endeared the organization to many.

The Prime Minister and fellow members of the Progressive Party in the coalition government cabinet have expressed repeated exasperation at what they call their "supposed Asuran allies" for failing to react to crises in any meaningful way and have been ready to withdraw for a while. Foreign Minister Remo Mattei has been the driving force behind this point a view for a long time now and has instead endorsed a plan of bilateral relationships rather than a large multilateral organization that has the problems of free-riders and buck-passers. The holds out had been the minority partner Liberal Party in particular Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Renata Panzera advocating for the DE which is in the Perino East constituency she has represented as a Senator since 1999. The Deputy PM however has found it harder and harder to maintain her position with each failure of the organization and the growing amount of dissatisfaction among backbench members of her own party. The response to the issues in Folksland was the last straw and she has not reportedly given in.

Leaving the DE would make Aquidneck an observer member of the CDN which grants it access to Aeian Community programs and events remaining entirely out of DE operations. This would allow the Kingdom to stay in the single market but would see it lose its voting representation in the Aeian Parliament. The Prime Minister has been on phone calls with close and important allies across Aeia trying to gauge what reactions Aquidneck would get from the move.

What would happen if Aquidneck left the Entente?

Leaving thevEntente would mean the end of the Marina Miliare contributions to the anti-piracy task forces. Aquidneck is one of three nations that contribute to these vital task forces that keep the international trade flowing, some economists worry that there would be a marked increase in crimes on the high sea which would see trade disrupted and prices rise. The Drago Entente, the defense aspect of the CDN, would have to find a new headquarters. The DE has been headquartered in the city of Perino since its founding and would now need to be relocated in what would be a long and costly process. It would also mean the removal of Aquidish troops from DE operations across Aeia.

Damaging Storms hit Yaseria Island
Posted on Nov 2, 2018
Last night a series of strong thunderstorms blew through Yaseria Island last night dumping 5 inches of rain in some parts of the island and producing damaging winds and large hail. The heavy rainfall caused by these storms triggered numerous landslides and mudflows on the central mountain range, destroying sections of road and injuring 5 people. Besides heavy rain, the storms also produced 1.6 inch hail, strong winds which gusted up to 65 miles per hour at the Maiolen Airport. A tornado warning was also issued for downtown Iapotla due to media reports of a funnel cloud though no tornado did touch down.

Controversial purchases
Government buys Veleaz-made aircraft from CDN occupation forces

Oàgadishu is set to acquire 11 Veleaz-made Flanqueador 89 Model in a multi-billion shilling deal that is being closed between CDN forces in Veleaz and Oagadishu. The planes are part of the $255 million arms deal that Mengistu signed and got Oagadisti People's Assembly approval last week. The six first are on their way, the military would receive a "two dozen" of trainers; former Veleaz air force pilots to train pilot recruits. There have been circulated rumours of occupation forces want to deny any Veleaz "resurgence" by denying experienced pilots, whilst the funds would help for the upkeep of occupation troops.

The contract includes both the training and allocated ammunition at reduced prices, since the aircraft have been in service for over 3 decades. The western Majulan country has been suffering continuous internal terror attacks and external threats from Sahabaab; the failed state between Oàgadishu and Cebragas as various groups attempt to raid inside the country. They plan rebuilding its national air force, grounded since the late 90's to conduct air strikes. The Popular Air Force & Air Defense has been using exclusively a rotocraft fleet that isn't considered good enough due to the scale of operations undertaken, government helicopters have resorted flying on higher altitudes to avoid the various rebel anti-aircraft guns but it results with large collateral damage; especially if the crewmen use unguided missiles for strikes.

Secretary of Armaments, Hilowle Godec said: “Our military had experienced one of its deepest and most important security crisis for several decades as the shadow of 75-88 wars still haunt older citizens. We will work to build our security and peace throughout the region so that this country is safe and more secure once more, Majula had periods of upheavals and we will another wave once again. It is necessary to take precautions in order to strike fast and hard to minimize damage, such mistakes can only be done once - losing 200 hundred thousand people all over again is something we cannot affod”.

Oàgadishu is to get logistics support, training and technical assistance, spare parts and field service support and special assigned airlift mission (SAAM) flight delivery under the deal. There are fears such direction might spark a renewed regional arms race, absent for decades.

Duke of Castello de Lemos as a young man

Duke of Castello de Lemos, Hero of Vvardenese Civil War and Exile Dies Aged 109

Augusto Gutieres de Xagoaza, Duke of Castello de Lemos, died in his sleep early this morning at the ripe and blessed old age of 109, loved by family and friends. Local nobility and even the monarch himself have paid tribute to de Xagoaza, with the Marquis of Valdeorras calling him "a giant on the battlefield, and a gentle man at home". Born on the 16th of July, 1909 to a poor family in rural Toreno near the Sarporian border, the Duke of Castello de Lemos had originally entered the navy, but after heavy bouts of seasickness he resigned and joined the army just before the outbreak of the disastrous civil war. Upon hearing of the news of the monarchist uprisings against the republic, which was itself suffering under communist revolutions, he rushed off to fight for the rightful monarch. At the young age of 26, he achieved the rank of captain after his superiors were killed in the Battle of Santo Padri de Vilarixa, and he and his company, nicknamed "Boinas de Acerio" quickly became known for their brave deeds. On one occasion, at the Battle of Monte Pèireso, his company climbed a seemingly impassable cliff-face in order to take out a communist artillery encampment, saving many soldiers lives in the process.

When the war turned against the monarch, his company supervised the evacuation of many government ministers at the port town of Muxia before finally falling back to the beaches whilst the entire communist army advanced on them. De Xagoaza was rumoured to be the last of his company to leave, though he never himself said it was true during his lifetime. Usually, the title of Duke was granted to relatives of the Royal Family, such as the infantes, illegitimate children or natural sons of the monarch that are second or third in line, but due to the bravery of Augusto Gutieres de Xagoaza and his key role in evacuating many royalist and monarchist governmental ministers, he was awarded the title during the exile as well as a promotion to general. The first that the Duke of Castello de Lemos saw of his title and the lands given to him, including Pinho Manor was when he was welcomed back in the aftermath of the Second Glorious Revolution, where in a show of gratitude, he famously gave the monarch his mother's wedding ring and the boina he wore throughout the entirety of the Civil War, now part of the Royal Trust, and on display in the National Museum of Vvardenese History.

De Xagoaza's skills and exploits quickly became subject of numerous documentaries and books, popularizing him in the public's mind as a loyal soldier who fought bravely despite the lost cause of the monarchists in the Vvardenese Civil War. De Xagoaza later became the subject of the massively internationally successful television series "Baixo Deo e Rei", detailing the achievements of the "Boinas de Acerio" company throughout the entire Vvardenese Civil War, starring dozens of famous actors from Vvarden and its neighbours. The Dukedom has now been passed to his 68 year old son Gutier Augustes de Xagoaza, who said he will make sure the Xagoaga family continue to be one of heroes.

Plane Crash in South-East Vvarden Claims 4 Lives

A packed airplane slammed down on the runway while landing at Toreno Airport today, catching fire and forcing many to escape by sliding down the emergency inflatable slides and into a trail of metal debris as flames tore through the plane. At least two people who were found outside the wreckage died in the crash, while another 182 people were taken to hospitals, many with minor injuries, authorities said. Two others that had been taken to local hospitals had died from their injuries. Thirty-one people are reported to be in a critical condition, Toreno Municipality Airport spokesman Tiago Gouveia said to authorities a matter of hours ago.

By the time the flames were extinguished with the help of local fire stations, much of the top of the plane's fuselage had burned away. The tail section was gone, with pieces of it scattered across the beginning of the runway. One engine appeared to have broken away. Emergency responders could be seen walking inside the burned-out wreckage along with investigative personnel. News of the crash spread quickly across Toreno, not far from the border with Sarpory-Vemnia, as people detailed their experiences with the crash on social media like Chirper. The investigation has been turned over to the GSAV and terrorism has been ruled out, a spokesperson from the Air Safety Bureau of Vvarden said to reporters on the scene. Federal aviation and transportation investigators are currently heading to the scene, with the manufacturers of the plane having expressed their support to find the cause of the crash.

Responders at the scene of the crash

Dinali Ferrando, who was sitting in the middle of the aircraft and survived the crash with his family, said there was no forewarning from the pilot or any crew members before the plane touched down hard and he heard a loud sound. "We knew something was very wrong," said Ferrando, who suffered a fractured collarbone and had his arm was in a sling. His family was visiting Vvarden-in-Asura for the first time, having been born and raised in the Ilhas do Lume Sagrado. Many other passengers were soldiers returning home from a tour of duty in the Ilhas, such as Maximino Crespo who gave his testimony. "Everybody was screaming. I was trying to usher them out," he recalled of the first seconds after the landing. "I said, 'Stay calm, stop screaming, help each other out, don't push.' We were the last to leave (military personnel), our first duty being getting everyone else out of the plane."

The airport closed for several hours, and when it reopened, two of the four runways were operating. The last time a large Vvardenese airline lost a plane in a fatal crash was Vvardenese Royal Airways Flight VA490, which crashed not long after taking off from Rei Payo X International Airport in 2001, claiming the lives of thirty people. With the quick recovery of the black box, it is expected that the investigation will quickly be resolved. Until then, the families of the dead might not be able to rest easily, and other planes of the same make may find themselves vulnerable.

New Infrastructure Project To Link Vvarden With Neighbours

The outdated condition of Vvarden's interstate roads is set to improve with a new infrastructure project planned to modernize and overhaul existing interstate connections with Vvarden's neighbours. The Ministro de Infraestrutura e Planexamento, Enric Aureles de Barroso-Fulcarei, stated that the intention of the new project was to "further connect Vvarden to the rest of Asura in order to help bring about greater trade and prosperity". Ministro Barroso-Fulcarei further detailed the project, proposing the idea of several international high-speed railways to pass through Vvarden and its neighbours, increased traffic through the repairing of many of Vvarden's existing road networks, and a complete overhaul of many of Vvarden's border crossing points.

Some hard-line members of the Vvardenese government have refused to back the proposal from Ministro Barroso-Fulcarei, who believe that such a move would only threaten Vvardenese security and prosperity by moving away from traditional protectionist policies. One such critic, notorious hardliner the Marquis de Vila de Paxo d'Arcos, stated that whilst "It is all well and good to desire to update many of our roads and transports for the betterment of the Vvardenese people, there must be an easier transition; We cannot rush ahead and leave our country vulnerable as a result."

Ministro Barroso-Fulcarei has commented on some of these views, stating that "Vvarden is in need of modernizing with the rest of Asura and is capable of doing so, to a degree. The Vvardenese Integralist Party itself was born from a desire to reform and modernize old traditionalist views and was given the power to change itself with the times." It is not yet known how the municipalities and provinces of Vvarden will take this measure, but the outlook, based on opinions of local leaders across the country, points towards an acceptance of Ministro Barroso-Fulcarei's views.

This project is only one of many that have been proposed as part of the new "Vvardenese Century" declarations from the Camarilla, which aims to modernize Vvarden over the next twenty-five years in order to ensure stability for the next hundred. Practically all of the municipalities have accepted and agreed to the declarations, and the Crown Prince, Aurelio has expressed his "full support" of the measures, which tie into his desires for reform regarding Vvarden's government. Many members of the Vvardenese government are waiting in anticipation of the Crown Prince's new decisions, and whether his idea of reform will seemingly change the Vvardenese ideal of integralism that has suited Vvarden so well over the past few decades.
