Breaking News: Diarchs assassinated

Some elements of the Army Corps during a gun fight in the outskirts of the capital


Yurika Kanae and Dahlia Makoto, Diarchs of the Cattish Confederacy elected just a few months ago, died this morning after the official residence of the Diarchs exploded. More 6 people also died in the explosion. Zenith, the armed wing of the Conservative party already claimed the attack. The New Left government declared state of emergency and mobilized the National Defense Corps. Hidden Cat, the armed wing of the New Left, also declared they would take action against Zenith and vowed to "reduce Zenith to dust". Gun fights between Hidden Cat and Zenith already started in the capital.

Many fear a civil war in the islands, and those not called yet by the government are starting to take action too. Rei and Asa Sanana, sisters, both aged 21, were not called by the National Defense Corps yet but decided to join Hidden Cat fighting against Zenith. "We can't sit around after this. The Diarchs were assassinated, we want to fight Zenith by bringing them to justice or killing them. We don't want a civil war." one of the sisters said.

We will bring more updates as soon as possible.

Updated: Conservatives seek monarchy


- Zenith revealed around 2 hours ago they assassinated the Diarchs because there is a new path that Conservatives wanted to follow: A monarchy for the Confederacy. During the broadcast, seen on the internet, Zenith proclaimed Nikolai Suzura, head of Zenith, as "King of the Cattish". In response, the New Left and its armed wing, Hidden Cat, said the Conservatives had "totally lost it" and that "now even the most peaceful Cattish will lynch the Conservatives.". Indeed, even with fights taking place in the streets, millions have filled the main streets protesting against the Conservatives and Zenith, shouting "We will bury you!" and "Out with the Conservatives!" to demonstrate their anger.

During these protests, Haruna Mito, Minister of Defense and member of Hidden Cat, delivered a speech to the crowd: "...and who are they, who the hell are they, to resort to such horrible acts! Power hungry people, that's what Conservatives are! They wanted to have their way with our country, our beautiful islands, but you, you, the people, made your voices being heard and kicked them out! Now, they try to recover what they lost using force, despicable ways, promoting death, going against your wishes! This is proof that we need a stronger leadership under the guidance of the New Left, one that gives what people want, hears what people say and above all, takes care of people. This is what we need! And now I say to the dogs of the Conservatives, I say to Zenith, surrender! Drop your weapons and surrender! Stop this nonsense! Face justice or face death!" said the minister surrounded by millions.

More updates soon.

The purpose of these exercises is to test the capacity of the three branches to answer in case of attack and also invading foreign soil. The Minister of Defense was present in the first day of exercises. She was also the main star of what she called "a funny fall", after two jets flying low at high speed managed to make the Minister, as well more 6 people next to her, fall on the ground. "God I love those them. I really should fly again one of these days." the Minister, herself a pilot, said with a smile on her face.

The Navy also decided to bring a veteran ship, not for taking part in the exercises, but to celebrate her 73º birthday. To the delight of those watching, "Byakko", a battleship of the WWII, managed nevertheless to test her might.

The exact numbers concerning mobilized personnel aren't known yet, and full details of the exercises will only be published next Thursday.

This deal, which may have a return as high as 8 percent, is a sign that technology companies can take advantage of investment formats once reserved only for banks. Renewable-energy projects are entitled to various tax benefits, including a credit for 30 percent of the installed cost of a solar power system.

Bombing in Nueva Saldeana leaves 30 dead and hundreds injured

Last night at 11:21 pm, a series of explosions in Nueva Saldeana gave citizens a frightening wake-up call. A witness reports "I was sleeping in my bed, when suddenly part of my apartment exploded and I had only enough time to hang onto a flag pole before the entire building fell down." The government has begun investigating this matter, and most citizens speculate that this attack is linked to the Separatist State Of New Carabana (SSNC), a rouge terrorist group that nearly destroyed the nation with a bloody civil war only a few months ago. The group is said to have been mostly eradicated, but some members are still in hiding, and one of them might have planned this attack. Another witness reports "Before the bombs went off, I saw some suspicious looking people walking around, which I found strange because at this hour, most people would be sleeping, not wandering the streets." The government tells the public to remain calm, and that they would handle this before any more innocent people are killed or injured. Could this be a spontaneous attack, or part of a more sinister plot by the SSNC to bring Carabana into another bloody civil war?

DISAPPEARANCE CAUSES CIVIL UNREST

Demonstrators at Cassadale, March 14. A police officer is seen on the foreground


After another political activist demonstration in the Britanian colony of Wehrlans earlier this week, the island is once again in a state of turmoil after the demonstrator's leader, Ghari Sopimor suddenly disappeared this Thursday. Ghari was a civil rights activist who campaigned for the independence of Wehrlans from Britanian rule. This Tuesday, March 10, Ghari organized another "peaceful" demonstration in which at least 19 activists were injured and another 12 arrested. This Thursday, March 12, Ghari Sopimor planned another demonstration but it did not happen. Instead, Ghari never showed up until his family discovered him to be missing Thursday night. Now a riot is being held at the city of Cassadale, led by Ghari's sister, Sofeia Sopimor.

The government has been blamed for the disappearance of Ghari but Governor General Matthew Henderson denied the allegation in a statement today saying, "We, on behalf of the Britanian Colonial Government, deny any accusation that we are responsible for the disappearance of the heretic- er uhm... I mean Ghari Sopimor."

The activists, meanwhile, have seized major commercial and government buildings in the city and has set numerous establishments and vehicles on fire. The police are trying to stop the protesters from advancing towards the Colonial Capitol Building but the activists outnumber them 12:1. The Colonial Government has requested military intervention but the Emperor is still processing this decision.

BREAKING NEWS: Emperor Johann visits military camp in North

Postby Greater Nevadian Empire » Sun Mar 15, 2015 9:26 pm

Our beloved General Emperor Johann V recently visited the Sehrhart-Ausbildung military camp in North province. His Imperial Majesty was greeted by Major Generals Robert von Hochenkaiser and Wilhelm Mitvielhar. This came as a surprise to Mr. Hochenkaiser as the Emperor usually only visits North province on his annual tour around the country in August and September. Mr. Mitvielhar organized a grand banquet for the Emperor's arrival and all 2,600 soldiers at the camp attended. The next day, His Imperial Majesty dressed in full uniform and gave a 15-minute speech broadcast throughout the country. He and some of his advisers then played a soccer match against several of the soldiers including Mr. Mitvielhar where they won 4-3. The following day, he departed Sehrhart-Ausbildung and toured North province, being received by the Provincial Governor Elizabeth Millsman.

Stevencousin commissions 6th Gladiator-class Destroyer

Image
SDS Franco de Cartyln (D198)

Stevencousin state television (STV) has reported the commissioning of the 3,900-tonne Gladiator-class Destroyer Franco de Cartyln. SDS Franco de Cartyln (pennant No.D198) is the 6th Gladiator-class Destroyer to be commissioned, having been the 10th laid down. The ship is expected to be assigned to the 7th Destroyer Squadron.

Unlike other recently commissioned Gladiator-class, Franco de Cartyln does not appear to be equipped with a variable depth sonar capability, thus it is likely to operate primarily as a general purpose destroyer. It is, however, armed with Eight x SEA - ACADEMIC -VL SAM, 16 x MUSEUM system (Medium-range Surface Effect Missile), EVO-5 127mm gun, two x 30mm KeeperSight CIWS, six x TOLAS - 5 (Torpedo Lightweight anti-Ship) torpedoes.

Talbot launches new special edition Horizon
12 Jul 1981

Talbot have launched a special edition Horizon. The Horizon Eté Spéciale (it is French for summertime) is based on the 1.3 GLS, and offers the same equipment as the GL model, apart from gaining alloy wheels as standard, and a choice of yellow or orange paint with white or red stripes. A sun logo graphic can be added too, at additional cost

Power comes from a 1.3-litre/65bhp engine, which is good, but tuned for sportiness rather than comfort here; it should be good to drive.

At £5,658, it has a price premium of £850 over a standard model, but is worth it if you want a sporting hatch without the hot-hatch premiums. However, it costs a bit more than the GLS it's based on.

PMRF Terrorists Take Neyv

Image


MIRONOR CITY - The People's Mironorese Revolutionary Force (PMRF), a Neo-Communist terrorist organization operating in North-Central Mironor, has captured the municipality of Neyv, the most populous municipality in Mironor's Unorganized Territory.

The terrorist group has been capturing more and more territory in recent months, with their territory having nearly quadrupled since 1 January. Additionally, they carried out cyber-attacks on websites of companies and/or government organizations in Kingston-Atlantis, Anareshka, SJT, and Corunia and Mironor. They also tried to assassinate SJT's President, Markus Witten, last month when he was visiting Corunis (capital of Corunia and Mironor) for Corunis Day, Corunia and Mironor's national day.

Despite Corunian Commonwealth forces re-capturing substantial amounts of PMRF-controlled territory on the southern, western, and northern areas of PMRF's territory, PMRF has been expanding to the east, and has captured Neyv, the most populous municipality in Mironor's Unorganized Territory, with a population of approximately 7000, which is over 1/10 of the Unorganized Territory's population.

March 23 2015:
After weeks of Roy Page's talks with the Syncretic Nationalist Party, Laredo has officially ended the embargo with the People's Republic of China.
Laredo has historically opposed communism, having never established diplomatic relations with the former Soviet Union and other communist states.
Hostilities between them and Cuba had even almost escalated into war during the late 1970's.
The revolution by the nationalists 29 years ago had done nothing to improve trade and diplomatic relations even though the previous government had been overthrown.

However many say that Laredo's attempts at improved communication are not due to the realization of China's economic reforms alone.
Laredoan state news is reported to have mentioned that the People's Republic is strongly against religious extremism, also going on to mention that Laredo hopes to receive permission so that they may aid groups in China pushing for LGBT rights and anti-discrimination laws.

Reason is that there is no justified act of aggression against Beterland by Russia and that therefore the sanctions are void. Other European countries reacted in ''disgust'' and hope that ''Beterland will come back to her senses''. Meanwhile, the Russian Federation applauded the choice and they will stop their sanctions at Beterland. The economy of Beterland will be expected to grow, and so, hopefully, will the new currency of Beterland after it has withdrawn from the Euro.

Balna releases new Volkswagen-based MPV
10 Jan 2014
If you thought this was a Volkswagen Sharan, think again. For the Brazilian, Mexican, Argentinean and Chilean markets, Balna have released the Sekvantaro MPV.
Named for the Esperanto word for "entourage", this plush MPV looks the business, gaining a chrome grille, and has some styling tweaks, to further differentiate itself from its German Volkswagen Sharan and Spanish SEAT Alhambra twins.

Under the bonnet, though, is where the differences really lie; no small-blown 1.4 turbos, or indeed, any VW petrol engines, for that matter, not even the awesome 2.0 TSI turbo petrol; instead, buyers get a choice of a 2.0-litre/136bhp 4-cylinder petrol, a 2.0-litre/217hp 4-cylinder turbo, a 3.2-litre/204bhp V6 or a 3.6-litre/281bhp V6 petrol. Turbodiesel engines available are a mixture of Balna and Volkswagen-sourced engines, and we expect these to be the big sellers.

Specifications have yet to be confirmed.

Strike in Canton Ended by OTC Security Personnel
A eight day strike at a pharmaceutical factory in Canton was ended yesterday after security personnel of the Oriental Trading Company dispersed a crowd of disgruntled workers blockading the building. No injuries have been reported to the local authorities. Sir Anthony Cockburn, the director of the OTC, said that he was pleased with the peaceful resolution of the labour dispute. The striking workers have been permanently dismissed and replaced by employees from other OTC factories until new workers can be hired.

Quick Test: Range Rover 2.5 TDi Vogue 3-door
24 Mar 1993

Land Rover have updated the Range Rover with some changes for 1993, although you'd be hard-pressed to notice them. This also applies to the three-door version, which continues, 7 years after it stopped being sold in the United Kingdom, but in Astholm, it's still around, due to its popularity with the posh set who live in town houses in the city and go to nightclubs. Not that it will discredit its off-road credentials. Then again, most of its buyers don't care about off-road ability, preferring its image.

Our test car had the 2.5-litre/111bhp 4-cylinder, same as that found in the Vogue 5-door, and it's a decent engine to drive, and highly advanced. It's a VM Motori unit, so it's reliable and should be good.

Inside, it's well-equipped, and Vogue trim offers you a lot of equipment for the money.

Thanks to lightweight power steering and a small thickly padded wheel, the '93 car is a whole lot more manoeuvrable than its 1970 forebear, feeling more lightweight on its toes. Come the first corner, it still suffers from body roll, but far less so than the early car - and thanks to steering that's more road-biased, you always feel just that little bit more in control.

On the whole, it's a good car, but it's let down by build quality which isn't as good as we'd hoped from a brand like this, plus the over-assisted steering lacks feel, so

At £25,835, it's £950 less than the equivalent five-door model, but none the worse for it.

However, it lacks the practicality of the five-door.
