AIR FORCE ANNOUNCES DEVELOPMENT OF FIFTH GENERATION FIGHTER

New fighter to replace F-32 ‘Teacup’ units by 2030

^{Kristallstadt (CNG) - During a press briefing earlier this morning, the Air Force announced the creation of a replacement for the ageing F-32. Deemed the F-34, the aircraft is intended to be the nation's first foray into fifth generation technologies. Already development work has begun, with Dawes Aeronautic and Schmidtke Aerospace teaming up for the first time in either company's history to provide what they claim to be, “a revolutionary defender of our Confederacy.”

While work on the aircraft begins, the Air Force has announced the acquisition of twenty-two TAP-32 fighters from Tvembov to modernise and bolster the current fighter fleet. This has led to some controversy, with Counsellor of Grünesboden Eveline Heilprin stating that, “the Confederacy’s increasing willingness to open itself to foreign influencers is a sign of a decay in our nation, first the Norudo, now the Tvembovians. Who’s next? The Pembians?”

Counsellor of Neue Freude Otto Schaumann stated that, “despite claims that this purchase is a negative, our willingness to continue cooperating with the world is a vital part of maintaining our image on the world stage. Be it REO, the F-32, or these TAP-32 aircraft, international cooperation is a must.”

TN Polybios saved from scrappers torch

^{Valais (GPR) - This morning, Admiral of the Fleet Ernst Meinhardt announced that the Navy successfully came to an agreement with the owners of Duko’s Mara Saviĝo for the purchase of the TN Polybios, one of the nations first modern battleships. Meinhardt added that it is the intention of the navy to restore her to her condition as of 1906, for ceremonial purposes and historical education.

Polybios’ long history began in 1904, when under the ‘Grand Fleet Initiative’ she was laid down as the third vessel of the Schildkröte-class battleships. Completed in 1906 and cinosied by then Head of the Conference Nicolas Dietrich, the Polybios had a quiet career, serving as a coastal defence vessel until the outbreak of the Boreal War, where her and the rest of the fleet were recalled to port. Her interwar service was largely unremarkable, though her design defects began to shine through, namely her lacking speed. While capable of traversing some ten thousand nautical miles at a time, she could only make ten knots to meet such a range, and maxed out at eighteen and a half.

For the duration of the Poppy Fields War, she remained in port at Valais as a training ship and a pointless deterrent to any potential attackers. By this time, being the last survivor of the Schildkröte-class, she was a strange sight amongst the more modern ships of the fleet, and upon the cessation of hostilities, was decommissioned and stricken from the registry.

Sold for scrap in mid-1947, she was saved from the torch in 1951 by the Konfederito Ŝipa Historia Socio, who stated that the ships historical value to the nation was greater than any price tag. She was then sold to the City of Mietzau, who cared for her condition from 1952 until 1992, when her ownership was handed off to the local organisation, the Gesellschaft zur Erhaltung des Polybios. Financial struggles plagued the society until in 2015 when they were forced to sell the ship. It was here where Polybios was presumed lost to history, with Duko’s Mara Saviĝo purchasing her for just shy of ten dollars. Due to other jobs keeping the company busy, the Polybios sat abandoned in one of the salvage company’s docks for nine years, during which time its condition, which was already poor from its time under the GEP, only worsened, with the Navy reporting her lower deck as completely awash.

While some have praised the decision to purchase the vessel, others remain discontent. Chairman Otto Nagel of the Bürger Gegen Staatliche Verschwendung stated that, “the money the Navy and subsequently the government intends to waste on this hulk of scrap metal could be much better used. The AEDC is bottlenecked by its limited funding, and that’s not even mentioning the social programs which could use the additional funding that the Admiral seems intent on wasting.”

Eva Schreiner of the CNG reported on the announcement, claiming that “the only history the battleship offers, is the closing chapters of common sense government spending,” and that “the funds we waste on this derelict may as well be spent on butterflies and popcorn, since those share equal amounts of value to it. None.”

GPR is a government service under the operation of the Office of the Speaker.}

Metro Anomaly spotted in Ainhen

A popular urban phenomenon reportedly spotted in Ainhen

For many years ever since the earthquake that shook the region of Auvern and Astrint, many accounts of a urban anomaly named the Metro Anomaly have been reported across the regions surrounding the center of the earthquake from Nemark to Ainhen and Merjaden, although many consider this a mere conspiracy made up by troublemakers, an instance of the anomaly was reported by over 100 people in Ainhen on the high street of the city, Engels Street, where around 12:31 mid day, when weirdly a office building seemed to be magically replaced by a metro entrance, although there was people within the mysteriously disappearing office building, none of them recall anything out of the ordinary during the incident, the people who saw the incident were all on the street, while none of the people who were within other buildings recalled anything of the sort occurring, not all of the people on the street saw the anomaly either, as many said that there was no mysterious replacing of the aforementioned office building.
Witnesses that claimed the office building vanished said that they heard faint rumbling promptly before the building seemed to fade out of existence to be replaced by a metro station, several groups of people alongside individuals observed this, although five of the witnesses say that they saw three people enter the metro station across the span of 30 seconds which is how long the anomaly lasted, these three people are believed to be actual residents of the city and they have been declared missing as of now, here is the following people, the city council wishes any who see them to report it immediately to emergency services:

Eber Falk, M
Believed to be wearing a purple plain shirt and a neon orange puffer jacket with dark blue jeans, Blonde hair.

August Kron, M
No witnesses recall the clothing he wore, Dyed Red hair.

Kerstin Graf, F
No witnesses recall the clothing that she wore, Black hair.

It is very much unknown what occurred to these people, many conspiracy theorists believe it was apart of a massive hoax to kidnap three people, some blame some massive secret organization, while some blame the government, although it is unknown if the sightings recalled by the witnesses can be trusted, the disappearance of the three people on the exact same day as the mystery seems awfully coincidental, a similar sighting of a ghostly metro station was reported in Merjaden in 1991, where an above surface metro station connected to rails that seemed to fade into air was reported on the outskirts of the city replacing what used to be a residential home who's owner was not present at the time, although due to it's more remoteness, it was only witnessed by 8 people at the site, although it did occur at the same time, although the 1992 incident lasted 5 minutes while the closest incident lasted 30 seconds, when the incident ended, the metro station appeared to vanish into the ground and the office building reemerged.
So far the government has not responded to this, although the AInhen city government has said that this is likely a elaborate joke meant to trick the public by the witnesses, similar to what the city of Merjaden said in 1992.
Although these incidents are certainly rare as a similar event was reported also in Isterin in 1973, Nemark in 1956, Oharn in 1944 and Isterin again in 1931.

Illionar Today

Royal marriage between King Jaša I of Illionar and Princess Emma of Tannenreich

The Kingdom of Illionar has been closely associated with the Kingdom of Tannenreich ever since the 19th century. Both nations were close co-operators, even going so far as to having an official alliance signed in the early 19th century. With the outbreak of the civil war in the nation in 2023, Illionar has been a close supporter of the Tannenreich dynasty fighting against the regent of Konigstahl, even going so far as to send troops and other military assets to aid the Tannenreich armed forces.

In mid-2024, it was officially reported that King Jaša I and Princess Emma announced their engagement with the support of their respective royal families. However, with the civil war ongoing, the official marriage was delayed until hostilities within Tannenreich reached it's conclusion. On the 11th of September 2024, the fighting offically ended and the civil war was declared over with the Tannenreich royal family assuming control of the entire nation and the reconstruction of the nation beginning, with Illionar announcing several aid packages and missions to send to Tannenreich to assist in their reconstruction period.

Back in Illionar, the wedding officially took place on 14th of December 2024 in Illionar, as Princess Emma and the Tannenreich royal family insisted on having it held there due to the civil war. The wedding day began with a parade of the Illionar military as well as the Tannenreich volunteers marching trough the streets of the Illionar capitol Motorož before an open motorcade with the bride and groom inside waving to the cheering public standing on the streets. An official ceremony was then held at the St. Gregor Cathedral in the Kekec district of Motorž, where King Jaša I and Princess Emma were officially wed. After the parade and the marriage, a private banquet was held at the Illionar Palace near Bronski Hrib outside Motorož, the residence of the royal family, where members of the Illionar and Tannenreich dynasties enjoyed the remainder of festivities.

The wedding of Jaša and Emma went smoothly without any hiccups and the populace gave much support to the royal families. However, during the ceremonies, royal guards of Illionar stormed an abandoned warehouse close to one of the corners on the route of the royal couple and discovered an assassination attempt on King Jaša, with four perpetrators arrested as well as two additional co-conspirators at the nearby train station. It was discovered that the assassination would've been carried out in mere hours before the plot was discovered, giving both Illionar and Tannenreich a sigh of relief.

Kelvaczkhian Military hosts New Year's parade

Several military parades have been held in Kelvaczkhian cities, beginning in the morning of New Year's Day. They were held in several cities, with the largest being in Západní Kopce, Dvěhora, and Kelvačůvzemě. The parades allowed the military a chance to exhibit new equipment and show their capabilities. Among the most noticeable were the Perun main battle tanks, being the most modern and sophisticated tanks in the People's Army. They outclass all opponents, and are key in the defence of the Kelvaczkhian people and principles. 5 were displayed in Kelvačůvzemě, 2 in Dvěhora and Západní Kopce, and 1 in Písek. It also honoured the fallen heroes from the civil war, who shall be remembered as martyrs of this great nation. The parades were a sight to behold and were enjoyed by all, showcasing the glory and might of Kelvaczkhi. However, there are some who wish to see the downfall of our home and our people, who have imprisoned themselves in their own anachronistic ideals. One individual even attempted to commit an act of terror during the Dvěhora parade, even claiming to not be Kelvaczkhian; they were quickly apprehended by police. Thankfully we are kept safe owing to our diligent police force and Státní bezpečnost, who work hard to keep every citizen safe from dangerous actions and persons.

Diplomatic relations with Arravan restarted

The Kelvaczkhian Senate has revealed that a diplomatic mission is being sent to Arravan, the northern neighbour of Kelvaczkhi. Arravan, like Kelvaczkhi, has a long and rich history as well as a diverse culture. Unfortunately, despite their proximity to Kelvaczkhi, their values and ideals have gone down a different path. Arravan, while sharing some similarities with the socialist economy of Kelvaczkhi, has resorted to a mixed-economy, and is even a member of the Union of Euralia. The Kelvaczkhian Senate has decided to look past these differences. Václav Svoboda recently released a statement regarding the diplomatic mission.
"I truly believe that both Kelvaczkhi and Arravan can benefit from a closer relationship. It is about time we expand diplomatically, and show the world that Kelvaczkhi is not some backwards state, but a fully independent nation."
There have been reports of plans to re-affirm the Truce of Yehat, an 20th century treaty that declared a perpetual state of peace between the Kelachuvian Empire and Kelvaczkhi. After the civil war, questions rose about the validity of the treaty, seeing as it was addressed to a nation that no longer existed. It remains to be seen whether or not the diplomatic mission will be successful, but many are optimistic. Regardless of the outcome, what has been made certain is the commitment that the Senate has in insuring peace for Kelvaczkhi.

Has Kelvaczkhi Recovered?

Half a year has passed since the civil war and Kelvaczkhi has made great strides. Infrastructure, Agriculture, and Culture were all damaged by the civil war, along with countless lives being lost. But in the months since then, daily life has greatly improved. The Kelvaczkhian Senate has tirelessly toiled to recuperate Kelvaczkhi. In addition, the Kelvaczkhian people themselves have worked hard to recover from the horrors of the war. In fact, the Senate has declared that the previous assessment of Kelvaczkhi's Human Development Index being as low as 0.509 is now false and outdated. The factories have restarted, the famine is near its end, and the plague is being combated. Peace has been restored to the streets of our cities, and we may sleep peacefully knowing that we are safe in this country. We have persevered through the worst, and now shall continue to work for the greatness of our nation. Remember, Bez práce nejsou koláče and may glory be to Kelvaczkhi, now and forever.
