COVID-19 Death Toll In America Possibly Higher Than Stated

As usual to save face and cope with their reality, the US fumbles around
as those certainly dying from COVID-19 are left out of official figures

Image
A global update on COVID-19 from April 2 (note: numbers subject to change every day)


The highly-contagious SARS-CoV-2 continues to sweep across the entire world as international confirmed cases are in the one million range. According to US bureaucrats and public health experts, COVID-19 is almost certainly killing Americans who are not included in the nation's growing death toll, all despite western corporate media's claims of China supposedly faking their numbers. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has only counted fatalities where SARS-CoV-2 is confirmed during laboratory testing. Because of little access to proper testing during the early weeks of the outbreak in the US, this meant any individual suffering from respiratory illnesses would have died without being put into the US death count, and if that wasn't bad enough, there are individuals at home who die or in overburdened nursing homes not being tested for COVID-19. Simply due to the innefficient decentralized neoliberal structure of the US, their own public health officials and government leaders do not have any total view of the pandemic's death toll as they assess its course and scramble to respond.

The US regime's official death count is shown all across the world daily as a sign of how contagious SARS-CoV-2 is and how the nation's that's supposed to be 'well-prepared' pandemics turned out to be really ill-prepared in the first place. The elderly and the immunocompromised in the US aren't the only victims of SARS-CoV-2, but even America's own health workers are as well and you can thank Washington corporate bureaucracy for failing to supply their own health workers with proper PPE (the US unironically continues to import medical supplies from China such as face masks while deeming them as 'low-quality' which is pretty rich considering how primitive they are at making such masks). This all has clear political implications for the Washington Dogs, who are currently spending a lot of focus engaging in an agitprop campaign to paint China in a negative light, as well as preventing medical aids from reaching Cuban and preparing for a supposed 'kinetic event' against Venezuela. The US technically isn't alone in fidgeting with numbers, though it's the one that does it maliciously simply because of their current administration in their White House. In the Italian town of Nembro in Northern Italy, it was recorded that the town had 31 deaths from COVID-19 from January to March period, however the town's mayor, Claudio Cancelli, stated recently that the total figures for deceased individuals relating to COVID-19 in that time period – 158 – was four times higher than the average for that period in the year. Meanwhile in France, the COVID-19 death toll has already grown after their health ministry started adding in deaths in nursing homes that were previously uncounted in their official figures, thus increasing the fatality count to around 5,400 people. Here at WVR–Kaiming, after debunking falsified myths & misconceptions, we already came to the conclusion that Comrade Corona has shown anyone with a brain the true inefficiency of late-stage neoliberal capitalism-in-decay. Radlibs and reactionaries are now coping hard with the harsh reality that a centralized socialist state is simply effective in combating the pandemic, like as if socialism was designed to be human-centric in the first place and capitalism only being money-centric for the ruling bourgeoisie. But let's spare these 'galaxy-brained' individuals and give 'em a break since their own countrymen are dying from COVID-19. Here's the current table of cases and fatalities from a selected nations based on highest numbers. Draw your own conclusions.

From early on in the year, Zhouran was one of the earliest nations prepared for SARS-CoV-2. Later on as the pandemic was sweeping into the west, the Ministry Of External Affairs calls out the American current administration for worsening the outbreak, by the end of March, the Ministry of External Affairs announced that any & all exports of Zhouranese medical supplies to the west would be cut off in order prevent giving radlibs and reactionaries an inch for they will take a whole mile. And as we head into April, the situation globally definitely ain't getting better. So far, as of April 6, Zhouran has currently exported: 3.1 billion masks, 34 million protective suits, 1.9 million infrared thermometers, 12,800 ventilators, 2.1 million testing kits and 7.3 million goggles. In Zhouran, the average number of daily testing (of which a quarter were done at home using hi-tech testing kits with 99.9% accuracy and the rest done at clinically at hospitals) is around 85,000 to 92,600 with the highest peak being the day of March 28 with around 103,468 in that single day alone (which was said to be attributed to xenophobic scares about potentially-infected foreigners arriving in Zhouranese airports for intermediate stops). The large number of testing in the nation can be attributed to the ability of highly-sophisticated labs with state-of-the-art biomedical technology (which Zhouran is leading in) to process tests accurately and the mass production of hi-tech testing equipment that makes processing of tests a lot faster in under five minutes per test.

The future of the world remains unknown due to the contagious nature of SARS-CoV-2. For many countries especially ones that have been hit the hardest (hint: not third-world poor nations), ordinary life comes to a halt and people become scared and anxious, meanwhile in Zhouran despite slight disruptions due to the pandemic there is already signs of returning to normalcy, albeit with high levels of cautiousness remaining in place as people continue to follow health guides for good hygiene and health & safety in public, thus people are still required to practice social distancing, wear face masks, and washing hands when necessary.

I wish my community didn't have to hoard the bloody TPs and face masks. Even hand sanitizers have been difficult to come by.


SmoothBrainsGetOffMyGat

Remember when the virus was described as a 'mild flu' and that 'it'd be gone soon like a miracle?' Oh how that aged badly.


EatingLandLordsForBreakfast

Bruh, at this point politics is just a fricking wrestling show. Funny how the nations that have made large contributions to fighting the virus (such as China, Japan, South Korea, Cuba, eg.) are non-western non-white nations.


EvolianWarrior31

The fact that Zhouran placed massive resrictions on its customs due to their biosecurity laws, North Korea completely closing its borders to prevent the spread, and Russia placing foreigners under its surveillance is the reason why the big-government globalist Soros-worshiping EU is responsible for spreading the coronavirus across Europe. If all European nations had rights to self-determination, we would of closed our borders rather than making them wide open for the infected to enter. Thanks globalists, thanks Rothschild Cartel. Samuel J. Heid was right again.

Internet users in for shock as several adult sites blocked without warning
Christchurch // Hannah Smith [@hhsmithyy] - Published on April 10, 2020 (2:35am)

Internet users throughout Drongonia took to social media to voice their concern at the sudden blockage of several internet pornography websites yesterday, as the Department of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Information Technology expanded their crackdown on what they describe as "sites which contain harmful content in relation to child exploitation and/or human trafficking activities"

The sites, which include many of Drongonia's most visited adult video sites, are blocked under the Internet Harm Act 2013 which permits the blocking of any website which contains an array of content ranging from verifiable images of murder, to classified state secrets, to child exploitation images. Figures released by the Department of Internal Affairs show that over 15,000 sites are explicitly blocked via the use of a "blacklist" which Drongonian ISPs are unable to allow access to.

An Official Information request filed by FUX News in relation to this story intended to find out the breakdown of types of sites which were blocked via the blacklist. Information released by the DIA suggests that 64.5% of all sites blocked are identified as directly hosting or linking to "child exploitation content". Of these sites, only 3% of them are hosted within Drongonia.

MindGeek, the company who owns a substantial amount of the newly-blocked sites, released the following statement today - saying: "We firmly believe all of our sites fall within generally accepted international laws, and all content which violates those laws is taken down in a timely fashion by site moderators. We strongly disagree with the Drongonian government's ruling to expand its blocking of adult sites, as we believe this impinges on the individual freedom to seek information of any kind, and in any form - as lamented in the Bill of Rights. We will fight this ban wherever possible."

The banning of these sites comes after 58 videos hosted on a popular site showed a Florida child being raped and later led to the arrest of her captor, over a year after she went missing. Indian authorities were also forced to pressure that same site to remove a video of a young girl being exploited in a known child exploitation case.

Technology freedom campaigners FreeInternetDG, have slammed the decision, saying that it infringes upon freedom of information rights and that users should be given their own choice in whether they have a clear conscience when visiting adult sites. They believe that the reporting mechanisms the sites have in place are enough and enable the site owners to respond to any reported breaches.

A full list of sites is available on the DIA website.

Police begin rollout of record-fast highway patrol pursuit vehicles
Christchurch // Hannah Smith [@hhsmithyy] - Published on April 14, 2020 (2:42am)

Criminals are set to have a harder time outrunning the police, as the Drongonian Police have just received the first of their 1,500 brand new high-speed pursuit vehicles from Norcott Motorworks (NMW). The vehicles, with a value of $96,000 each - are set to hit the streets starting from Wednesday as the police expand their focus on keeping the highways and byways of Drongonia safe for motorists.

The heavily modified vehicles are based on the already high-performance NMW M4 GTS, in fact they have enough internal modifications that NMW has given them their own designation, the NMW M4 GTS-P. Modifications include a stiffened suspension, a second turbocharger, a more durable exhaust system and the inclusion of windows able to dim and tint on command - in addition to the usual police electronics fare.

Officials from the police say the vehicles have a top speed of 401km/h in track conditions, which makes them the fastest land-based vehicle ever to be in use by the police, easily surpassing the NMW M3 Pursuit's previous record of just 350km/h. Police released a statement today reaffirming the vehicle's road dominance. "We believe the M4 GTS-P is going to completely own the road, with its fantastic handling and absolutely insane top speed. We'd challenge criminals to try find something faster, but it would be against the law to drive that fast, of course.

Police have confirmed that the M4 GTS-P will not be any different in function to its current generation of high-speed pursuit vehicles, the NMW M3 GTR - meaning that its primary designated use is as a pursuit and special pursuit vehicle, and won't be used to transport criminals after an arrest is made unless absolutely necessary. This would explain the vehicle's coupe configuration, which is the same as its predecessor.

The current generation NMW M3 GTRs will be retired by the end of the year and will be sold at public auction. But before you leap out of your chair to go buy one, there is one caveat. Police have confirmed that the current pursuit officers will have the option to purchase their current work vehicle for an undisclosed, although discounted, price. Any vehicles not purchased by officers will then be sold to the public via the Police Auction Network. This means that the number of vehicles available to the public will likely be lower than the full fleet of 1,500 M3 GTRs that are on the road right now.

NMW's contract to supply the government with its entire fleet of vehicles, including the police's, has also been extended until 2025. NMW is obligated to provide maintenance for the vehicles for their entire lifespan as part of the agreement.

COVID-19 Update and Q+A: No new cases in most of Drongonia, Southland out of lockdown
Christchurch // Hannah Smith [@hhsmithyy] - Published on April 16, 2020 (8:22pm)

Southlanders breathed a collective sigh of relief today as the region was officially released from COVID-19 Alert Level 4, being downgraded to Level 3 which allows individuals more freedom to travel and spend time together. This comes as the region's District Health Board area has had no new cases for a total of ten days (11 counting today), leading to the end of the strictest parts of the COVID-19 lockdown. This means that individuals are now free to leave their homes, but are being recommended against making unnecessary travel for the next fortnight, although this will not be legally enforceable.

Freedom only stretches so far, however, as there will be police-run roadblocks for all State Highways leading out of the region into the Western Districts, which is expected to leave lockdown tomorrow, and Central Districts, which is expected to be downgraded to Level 3 by Monday. Travel between Southland and English Island has resumed in full, however.

The lifting of these restrictions coincides with the third day of Christchurch reporting no new cases, and the overall new case count being one single incident in Nelson.

At FUX News, our social media has been inundated with questions regarding the lockdown, and we've done our best to answer them below in collaboration with the Ministry of Health as well as the Police:

When is my local area expected to be lifted from lockdown?
Assuming there are no new cases in these areas, the following dates have been confirmed by the Ministry of Health:
Southland - Today
Western Districts - 17th April
Central Districts - 20th April
Christchurch - 25th April


Under Alert Level 3, can I go out to get food from a sit-in or fast food restaurant?
Drive-thru and takeaway services where contact is limited and social distancing is possible will be allowed to re-open. This includes most fast-food and takeaway restaurants.

How many cases of COVID-19 are there in Drongonia? Also, what are the cases by classification?
Infected (at home): 947
Infected (in hospital): 230
Infected (in ICU): 39
Recovered: 970
Dead: 0
TOTAL: 2186


If I am away from my home and staying isolated in an area which is lockdown, but my home area is open, can I return home?
No, as travel is only permitted within areas that are not currently in lockdown.

Is it possible for an area to re-enter lockdown?
Although unlikely, it is entirely possible for an area to be declared in an Alert Level 4 state at any time.

Where can I go for the most indepth, up-to-date info on COVID-19?
You can visit the government's dedicated website, COVID19.dg

❀❀❀ Arty Bee’s Storytelling ❀❀❀


It was a rainy day when Princess Elisabeth visited the new construction site.

She went a few days before summer solstice, one week after the embassy application by the Diseran government. It had not taken long for the City Council to know the importance of her building consent application. Disera’s incoming ambassador, Livia Lunaris, would visit the new site on behalf of her country’s government next week. A federation located in Northwestern Verusa, Disera would be the latest trade partner of Yohannes, after the Chuck. Elisabeth knew the importance of making a good first impression.

The first steel skeleton framework had finally been erected this morning. The project engineer, Shaheen Al Haddad, had brought with him his first group of construction workers, twenty of them laughing at each other’s jokes just now; two site managers, smoking next to their cars; and an old land surveyor, Bob, with whom she had a nice conversation with just yesterday. They were waiting for her outside the entrance gate to the site. Elisabeth was happy: they turned up on time, unlike most tradies and their bosses these days.

She got out of her car and shut the door. Not bringing her umbrella was a big mistake. Elisabeth could see that the rain would only get harder, and she was starting to get soaked. The construction site was as spacious as building inspectors could manage. The City Council normally would not have approved it this soon, but in this case they did approve it—building consents and permits, Diplomatic Protection Service privileges, and health and safety at work compliance, all within a single week. A normal ratepayer would normally need to wait for a whole month, Elisabeth smiled. Not her though.

“Greetings,” she said, using her most polite and soft tone. “Mr Al Haddad, I hope everything goes as planned?”

Shaheen examined his waterproof drawing plan for a moment before answering curtly. “Your Royal Highness, yes.”

Elisabeth studied him. Shaheen was a highly intelligent and upright Mohammedan, which was a pleasing thing to see. Many populist politicians in Yohannes liked to promote ill-feeling against recent migrants; and that was why she’d not voted for Marion Maréchal-Le Men in 2018. She disliked racism in all its forms. Shaheen’s reply was curt, but he was probably just nervous, Elisabeth thought. “I have seen your amazing work in Gorskia, Mr Al Haddad, and I look forward to seeing you do the same, here.”

Bob had stood by close enough to be able to hear their conversation, and together with the now smiling two site managers, he was eager to join in.

He said, “Back in my day, your Grace, the King would not stand here—with us, tradesmen!”

Elisabeth laughed softly. “Well, there’s a reason the Daily Mail and Women’s Weekly call me the ‘People’s Princess’?”

“Perhaps there is,” said Bob. “Your Grace, I would not want to hold up the construction boys—they are waiting for me over there. An embassy plan will need to be presented to some foreign ambassador next week, after all. Her name, ambassador Olivia? Livia, yes.”

Elisabeth chuckled softly.

“How many political officers will be here,” said Shaheen. “Housed, serving in almost every type of position for the embassy?”

“Well, Mr Al Haddad, from the information I’ve just received, somewhere around twenty: the ambassador herself, three diplomats, four secretaries, three chancellors and their assistants, two visa officers, four public receptionists, two armed protection officers, and one chauffeur to take care of the ambassador’s limousine.”

One of the two site managers spoke up. “Quite a well-paid bunch, aye?” He looked at his construction men, and they laughed with him. “When are we getting our pay rise, Princess?”

Bob rolled his eyes in disbelief. Elisabeth laughed softly. “Well, if you vote for Forest and the Environment in the next general election, sir, you will have your pay rise!”

Until this moment she had maintained her neutrality to the public—to remain strictly neutral with respect to political matters, as Father would say—but why couldn’t she do a little bit of politics? Young people were often overlooked by mainstream political candidates. Why not promote the Green Party: the party for young people like herself? The future of our community and the future of our country, Elisabeth thought. The media would have a field day. She could already imagine tomorrow’s news headlines. The thought made her smile. The Princess Diaries: Duchess of East Lindblum to campaign for the Greens on election day!

Shaheen said, “Well, we better get to work, now.” He took a step towards her and bowed. “Your Royal Highness, thank you for the surprise visit.”

Bob smiled. Elisabeth looked at the Mohammedan with mild amusement. “Please, sir,” she said softly. “We don’t bow in this country—well, only to the Emperor, who is elected by the people.”

She looked at the assembled men and paused for a moment, but finally, she decided to say, “As the Bible would say, ‘We are all equal in the sight of God Almighty.’”

Princess Elisabeth’s Diary
@HRHPrincesselisa
Wrote a shout out just a while ago:



Speaking on behalf of the Members and Elected Collegians of the Realm in this present Parliament assembled, I’m pleased to welcome the incoming ambassador of Disera Her Excellency Ms Livia Lunaris. I have received the letter of credence appointing Her Excellency as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Diseran Confederation to the Realm of Yohannes.

Prosperity and stability. This has been the story of the Nineteen Countries—this land of the free—in terms of our external trading regime since Independence Day from the ancient Yanitarian Kingdom of Canhadast. The establishment of diplomatic missions and consular posts is an important first step in gaining access to previously untapped markets: they allow us to create mutually beneficial trade and investment agreements and encourage cross-border trade and capital movements.

As a proud ambassador-at-large of this country, I’d like to thank the 37th Christian Democratic Executive Council, and the Chancellor—the Rt Hon Annabelle Thorndon-Stevensonn—for their devotion to the creation of new value-added jobs in Yohannes. We should not underestimate the huge opportunities that Disera has for our many struggling small and medium-sized exporters—and our mum-and-dad investors.

IN THE NEWS: APRIL 20, 2773 00:30

TENACITY
The Anthrostate is in mourning after the death of nine factory workers who lost their lives in a freak industrial accident at The Grand Southern Steel plant in the early morning of April 18. The factory, located at 13 Ertin Way in Glenwood Bay, is currently closed for an official government inspection as to what went wrong during the incident. While the cause of the accident is still under investigation, human error is suspected as being the cause.

Korwin is in an uproar over the recent publishing of a series of op-eds in the Anthrostate's most popular newspaper, The Tenacity Times, praising Consul Ari as the "savior of the generation, our nation's vindicator." Further outrage spilled over from online and into the streets as it was discovered that an unnamed representative of the state compelled the paper to publish the op-ed. Small groups of protestors violating the nationwide lockdown are expected to take to the streets by morning.

The internet is abuzz with condemnation of the Ari administration's decision to postpone action in negotiating an intraregional agreement which is set to expire on May 14.

Famous businessman and Consul candidate Marcus "Rilly" Rillsmith announced at noon yesterday that he is dropping out of the race. Rillsmith, endorsed by the Wings Over Albanacula party, decided to drop out due to his waning polling numbers, according to a speech he gave via YouTube Live.

Korwinians sit uneasily as the world becomes gradually more under the threat of COVID-19. While there are no confirmed cases within the Anthrostate, some are still concerned. Mandatory lockdown measures are still in place.

There is a draft proposal for a national law that would lift the abolition on alcoholic beverages. It currently sits as a proposal and is not scheduled to be debated any time soon.

COVID-19 Update: No new cases in Drongonia, Western and Central Districts out of lockdown

Today, the majority of Drongonians may leave their homes as the District Health Board (DHB) areas of Central Districts and Western Districts were released from the level 4 lockdown, leaving only Christchurch and Northland in the lurch.

As for travel between regions, police-run roadblocks for all State Highways leading out of the regions into Christchurch and areas of lower Northland. All state highways linking the three mainland districts which are free from lockdown have been reopened. Air Drongonia flew its first domestic flights from English Island to Greymouth and Lake Ellingham today, with the company's share price jumping a mammoth 32%, up from $2 to $2.64

The lifting of these restrictions coincides with the third day of no new cases being reported throughout Drongonia, and the official countdown for Northland's exit from lockdown. The lockdown has been fast-tracked to be lifted on the 27th of April, should there be no more cases in the region. Christchurch is still scheduled to reopen on the 25th.

When gay porn and military come together

A new scandal is putting Kergstani military under heavy scrutiny again.
The Central Military Commission has been adopting since the start of the new fiscal year a new plan in order to increase revenue to cover the shortcomings of the ongoing modernization program.
The plan consists of leasing some reserve military vehicles to local and foreign filmmakers and artists for a sum of money.
What gave birth to the scandal though was the military's approval of a gay porn movie named "It's too tight in here 2" to be shot inside a BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicle.
For-profit pornography is illegal in Kergstan, therefore a penal investigation is ongoing.

- General Ngitoza has passed a new decree which makes domestic abuse illegal, he exemplarily beat up one of her wives outside of the presidential palace in front of the cameras of RatsiranaTV leading by example.

- A ratsiranan RNLA-MA soldier lost control of his toyota pickup truck while drifting to brag in front of village children and accidentally ran over one of them, subsequently he opened fire on the mad parents.

- inexplicably a referendum is to be held on the RNLA-MA controlled areas in order to pick a new flag, 38 polling stations were opened which will obviously not be enough to represent the will of the people, nevertheless this action is inconsiderate given the political situation in the country.

- The wealth accumulated by the former Gen. Mbutelezi has been placed back in the state treasury except for a ''yet to be found'' sum of $ 20mn.
With the money, the RNLA-MA led govt. bought food, medical supplies, toyota pickup trucks and heavy machine guns.

- LGBT rights activist Wilfred Muziga has been extrajudicially killed by police after the presentation of his short film, the first LGBT-themed in Ratsirana, called "Right in front of my jollof rice".
Some of the actors fear for their life, rightly so.

National maintains lead over Labour in latest FUX News Politipoll, Preferred PM unchanged
Christchurch // Hannah Smith [@hhsmithyy] - Published on May 19, 2020 (10:35pm)

The latest PolitiPoll from FUX News shows National could comfortably govern alone. (Image: FUX News at 6)

A small gain for Sarah Ellice in the preferred Prime Minister faceoff, but not much change overall. (Image: FUX News at 6)


FUX News' monthly PolitiPoll likely came as no surprise to National voters last night as it saw their party maintain its commanding lead over Labour. However, not all the changes seen in the poll were as predictable, with Labour rising by a surprising 2.2 percent, and People's Front coming out as the frontrunner among the minor parties with a stunning 5.1 percent.

National's support increased slightly from 53.3% in the last poll to its current 54% rating, with political commentators saying the increase likely came entirely from the Libertarian Party support base, who were left confused on social media last week as Libertarian leader Sean Davidson suggested Drongonia never should have closed its borders during the COVID-19 outbreak. Labour's support jumped an unexpected 2.2%, cannibalising the Green Party as their leadership is expected to motion for a vote of no confidence in current leader Dianne Fitzgerald later this week.

Pundits have argued, however, that the most astonishing result of all is the increase in support seen by the far-right populist People's Front party, with support from them steadily rising to 2.1% in the last FUX PolitiPoll, and rapidly jumping to an unprecedented 5.1% in last night's. This is likely due in part to the party upping its focus on social media marketing and targeting policies towards those over the age of 50, who are usually the Conservative Party's primary support base.

In a likely post-election coalition scenario based on the latest figures, the right-wing bloc comprised of National, People's Front and Libertarian would make up a staggering 61.2% of the vote, with the Labour-Green coalition only gathering 38.8%, which is seen by commentators as not a bad figure for an opposition, but nowhere near forming a tenable government.

In the preferred Prime Minister section of the poll, things were much more predictable as Prime Minister English's universally-praised handling of the COVID-19 pandemic translated to minimal movement in the 2-person ratings. Both the Labour Party and Sarah Ellice herself will likely be pleased with the small gain of 0.4%, proving once again that Ellice's likeability is not tied to her party's relatively modest performance. On the other hand, it is widely considered that Prime Minister English is much more associated with the goings on of the National Party and its MPs, which ties his popularity to the party on a much greater level.

Both sides of the establishment will likely consider this poll a win, with almost equal gains and a small jump for Sarah Ellice in the preferred Prime Minister rankings. People's Front will also likely be raising a glass tonight to their massive rise against astronomical odds.

Breaking News.... A scandal of sorts is brewing among foreign diplomats in Fatatatutti after the revelation that members of a popular children's club may be operating a spy ring.

The Alphonseketeers, who can be recognized wearing white baseball caps with a yellow bill and googly eyes, have been seen at the airport taking pictures of tourists.

It is not known whether they came up with the scheme themselves or whether some agency such as FI6 is behind it.

During the Fatatutti International Air Show a similar plan was hatched where Cub Scouts took pictures of foreign aircraft.

Corndaglish Motors roaring to explore


by Lee Mikelposh

Corndaglish Motors is looking to expand overseas to enable the group to establish a bigger presence that will lead to more opportunities. Its group chairman Dr. Petersen Corndaglish said, however, Springmont will remain the primary location of operations for the group.

"Overseas expansion reduces our dependence on a single geographic location and further diversifies our income. As such, we are constantly on the look-out to venture into industries in which we have existing experience and expertise, and countries where we are already familiar with," he said in Corndaglish Motors's 2019 Annual Report.

Besides, the group will also continue to leverage its inherent strengths towards realizing set business goals and targets, while creating value for stakeholders. Dr. Corndaglish said the company's businesses operate in key sectors of the economy and play vital roles in their respective value chains, nation-building, and the nation's economy. He said foreign direct investment appears to be improving and the group is ready with a vast amount of infra-ready landbank, mainly located in high-growth industrial areas such as Port Wadethorn, Eagleworth, and Clovercrest, Timberaire.

Nacrad National Railway Proposes New Railway Line

Nacrad National Railway has proposed a new railway line, starting from Westville, and ending in Afrald, passing through several major cities like Riverfort, Amoy North and Springville.

This railway line will be the first addition to the already extensive Nacradian railway system since 1998, and would be the first mainline to the State of Athery, where its 8 million inhabitants used to only be connected by one double-lined track built during the 1920s. The Westville-Afrald Railway will be built to Nacradian standards, at a speed limit of 250 km/h. This will slash the travel time between Afrald and Springville, the capitals of Athery and Hadrax respectively, from 2 hours 30 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes.

This mainline is also said to enhance the connectivity from Athery to the rest of the nation, and may help solve the chronic poverty and marginalisation of the State of Athery.

However, critics have pointed out that much of the mainline is made redundant by the Westville-Riverfort Mainline and Riverfort-Udrald-Springville mainline, and thus only the Springville-Afrald section needs to be built.

Discussion in the National Assembly is currently pending for this project.

The Heiwa Times

Prime Minister Denies Relationship Allegations

HEIWA -- Prime Minister Rikyu Nakamura once again has denied allegations of him being involved in a relationship. In an interview yesterday with HBS News, which besides unveiling his government's plans for a major tax reform which includes a significant restructuring of the tax system and introduction of new ways to alleviate the burden on income tax, HBS News anchor Sakura Hashimoto raised the increasing speculation on social media after Prime Minister Nakamura was allegedly spotted dining in an upscale restaurant alone with Deputy Prime Minister Tatsuya Fujiwara. Prime Minister Nakamura once again denied the allegations, calling them "fluff and baseless claims" for what he described to be "a very close and healthy friendship and working relationship" with Deputy Prime Minister Fujiwara. He indicated that while "it would be nice to consider a relationship in future", he was "not interested in a relationship [for the time being]" and would prefer to focus on "working to strengthen and improve Eikotomi as a country" rather than on his personal life.

Netizens have responded the Prime Minister's claims with some dismay, as a fan community around the Prime Minister has been promoting the hashtag #RikyuxTatsuya for some time, while others expressed disappointment that the Prime Minister was not yet looking to settle down with a family as yet. Prime Minister Nakamura remains the youngest Prime Minister in Eikotomian history, as well as the only unmarried one so far.

According to a Heiwa Times survey, 55% of 2,381 respondents indicated that they believed that the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister were in a relationship, however despite concerns of conflict of interest in such a case, 71% of respondents indicated that they did not believe that there would be any impairment on both individuals' ability to conduct their duties to their maximum capability and in the best interests of the country. The Prime Minister's approval rating continues to stand at 78% as of last week's approval poll, whilst Deputy Prime Minister Fujiwara's stands at 76%.

Heiwa Governor Announces Plans For Metro Expansion

HEIWA -- Heiwa Governor Naomi Ashihara has announced plans for a 125km metro network expansion that will begin in fall of this year. The network expansion, called the Sakura Line, will be the 10th line in the already-expansive Heiwa Metro System, and will run to the city's northwest, which is considered to be underserved by the metro network. The Sakura Line will be a circular network that will link with the existing Furukawa Line at the New Horizon Shopping Complex interchange station, and is estimated to cut commuting time from the northwestern Hanatani region to Downtown Heiwa from 50 minutes by car to 25 minutes by train. The operator of the line will be decided by competitive tender and operators ER Corporation (Eikotomi Railway Corporation), HMS Ltd. (Heiwa Metro Systems Limited), NPT Industries Co. (National Passenger Transportation Industries Company), GSW Bus & Rail Co. (Greater Southwestern Bus & Rail Company), and TransEvo Inc. have already announced intentions to bid for operations. The line will be constructed over 2 years and the main contractor will be announced by summer 2020.

Kongsi Forces Raid Border Checkpoint

The northern neighbour of ours, Kongsi, has conducted a raid against a border checkpoint in the state of Oswain!

At 07:05 Nacrad Standard Time today, Instow Border Checkpoint near Instow City was raided by a company (75 men) of Kongsi Revolutionary Army personnel, reportedly in the 165th Kongsi Regiment. The battle ended at 13:00 Nacrad Standard Time, with a Nacradian victory. As of writing, 15 Nacradian Border Patrol personnel have been killed, with a further 20 injured, while 33 attackers were killed and 42 captured.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has voiced grave condemnation about this act of aggression, and has summoned the Kongsi ambassador Ms. Chan Jia-Min to voice this condemnation. In a recent statement, it was stated that "if the People's Republic of Kongsi does not launch an investigation into this unprovoked aggression by the Kongsi Revolutionary Army, Nacrad shall have no choice but to expel the Kongsi Diplomatic Mission and close all border checkpoints between Kongsi and Nacrad, and if this incident repeats itself, Nacrad will have no choice but to use military force." and that "we do not wish to take any unnecessary military action, and thus we urge the People's Republic of Kongsi to launch an investigation as soon as possible."

Kongsi has so far denied all allegations of such raid, saying that "Nacrad is using this opportunity to frame the People's Republic of Kongsi and is merely looking for an excuse to expand."

Carriebeanian Coronavirus Response "Worse than America", according to poll

by Sarah Montgomery, Carriebean People's Daily chief editor
In a comprehensive and exhaustive poll undertaken by the Carriebeanian Ministry of Internal Affairs of 10 million registered voters, 93% said the government 'had not done enough to prepare' for COVID-19, otherwise known as the Corona virus, outbreak within Carriebean. Just 1% of those polled said the government 'had done enough' while 6% said the government's response was 'too much'.

This comes on the heels of an upcoming special election for President, where incumbent president Carol Dartenby is running on her supposed "brilliant" masterpiece of response. Her defense is that "If there is only one confirmed case, we're doing pretty good." Such calls have been blasted by opposition Communist Catholic leader Jarmin Thyrsle, who has condemned the response for "making the Americans look competent by comparison". The Pirate party has defended the sluggish response in stating there was only a few cases of the disease, so there was little to worry about.

For months the Pirate and Mormon parties have remained in an unsteady coalition government since the 2015 Carriebeanian Congressional elections returned a hung congress. The center-left party's alliance with the right has been repulsed by more far left members, instead flocking to the religiously left leaning communist catholic party. In the latest political poll for Congress, it is expected that the Pirate Party will remain the largest party with 108 seats, followed in second place with a boost of ten to the Communist Catholic.

In the begining stages of the epidemic, little action was taken to safeguard, with the government's response merely being to put out a two minute video explaining the need to practice good hygiene. The individual states within Carriebean have mostly been left to their own devices, and all of them have failed spectacularly. Many of the states have opted to declare war on one another over shipments of supplies that have been flown in from outside countries and accepted begrudgingly by state governments. There have been wars and fist fights in various supermarkets over supplies of masks and respirators for hospitals within Carriebean. The local state governments have forced curfews and prohibited people from leaving their homes in three states, leading to slight dips in the rate of potential cases. Potential because all can be assumed is that they have the virus and it will take a while for the single unreliable test kit to work it's way through the Carriebeanian population of 10 billion people.

Many of the shipments of supplies were destroyed in the fighting, forcing billions of Carriebeaners to take up stop-gap solutions such as stapling shirts to provide some sort of mask. Increasing fighting with the rebel Amanzo Liberation Front has picked up in recent weeks. Carriebean is noted for it's lack of testing kits, with a single kit being in the possession of the President, with a 99% failure rate. This single kit has been going around government facilities for each member, and it is expected that by 2030, only 100,000 Carriebeaners will have been tested for Corona virus.

The Minister of Militia Affairs and leader of a previous military coup during the chaos of the 2018 military attempt Gordon Hatter Voors has come up with his own Corona virus testing, they'd ask a 'willing' participant if they had it, hooked up to a lie detector. If they were found to be lying, they would be executed immediately. Human rights organizations have blasted such a proposal as "genocide" and a "crime against humanity" arguing for the immediate firing or arrest of Voors. This has led to a surprising explosion in cases from 1 to as many as half a million who opted to not get shot. Only eighteen thousand people lied and were subject to a kangaroo court martial and summary execution for "lying against the state" and "spreading diseases and plagues in violation of the beloved constitution." When asked to point out which section, the judge replied that the constitution was "still a major work in progress."

However, Voors has pushed back agaisnt those who have "continued to plot his demise from power" and promised "death to reactionary motherf**kers."

There are talks of a prototype second testing kit being organized, with a more improved 10% Success rate in diagnostics.

Ravenni Government to issue new constitution, establish Ravennian Republic

1 hour ago via bbc.com | BBC News Europe

Following yesterday's ruling by the Ravenni Supreme Court that proposed changes to governance and government structure in the United Communes are unconstitutional, the nation's Premier revealed plans to introduce a new constitution.

Premier Lukasz Bretonn made the announcement at today's COVID-19 press briefing, following a swell of social media speculation in the early hours of this morning. "This Government feels that the current constitution, written in the 1940s in a rush of revolutionary fervour, is not fit for purpose for the 21st century. To cling to a document of yesteryear as gospel is not the way that any modern nation should be run. To that end, we are working with our partners at the County and Communal level to prepare a dynamic, progressive constitution that will define a new era for Ravenni, leaving behind the United Communes and introducing a new Ravennian Republic."

Details remain scarce, however it is believed that the changes would centralise the federation into a unitary state, limiting the powers and responsibilites that have previously been devolved to the county and communal level. Such changes are likely to cause unrest among the Government's detractors, though anonymous sources within the Government say that the proposal is ultimately likely to open up increased political representation to the political right of the socialist Grand Coalition.

Leaked documents from an unnamed embassy within the nation suggest that the Government is to maintain the ongoing COVID-19 lockdown to the end of the year at a minimum, with the intention that the strict measures will also help to quell political unrest as these changes are pushed through.

Premier Bretonn refused to comment on these allegations, stating that "Some should know better than to speculate on rumour and intrigue. Further specifics of the proposal will be revealed to the public, in full, in due course."

Border Raids Continued by Kongsi, Kongsi Diplomatic Mission Expelled from Nacrad

Following yesterday's (21 May) raids against Instow Border Checkpoint, the Kongsi Revolutionary Army has continued to raid the various border checkpoints and settlements today (22 May).

At 04:53 Nacrad Standard Time, a battalion (approx. 230 men) from the Kongsi Revolutionary Army had crossed the border, and approached Instow City (population 2 million), only 23 km (14 mi.) from the border, before launching an ambush on Reservoir Borough on the northeast of the city, engaging with the local police force, before a company of the Nacrad Armed Forces was called into battle. Nacrad emerged victorious in this battle, with the Kongsi forces retreating across the border at 14:32. In this battle, the Nacradian Armed Forces and the Instow City Police Force had suffered a total of 133 deaths and 77 injuries, while the Kongsi battalion suffered a total of 211 deaths, 17 captured and 2 escaped, later captured 1.6 km (1 mi.) from the Nacrad-Kongsi border.

At 07:33, a platoon (43 men) had also crossed the border at Athery, at the far east of the nation, and proclaimed that the town of Seiping (population 1,022), which lies 6 km (3.2 miles) from the border, belonged to Kongsi. The local police force failed to repel this attack, and the Nacradian Armed Forces appeared at 12:33 to retake this town. Nacradians were able to expel the Kongsinese forces and re-capture Seiping.

At 10:26, 2 platoons had attacked Namhung Border Checkpoint, 76 km (47 mi) from the City of North Gate and 1 km (0.6 mi) from the Town of Namhung. Nacradian forces once again emerged victorious, suffering 22 dead, 15 injured, while killing 49 and capturing the rest.

There are many more instances, from which this paper shall not list exhaustively.

In response, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has expelled the Kongsi Diplomatic Mission, and has given 12 hours for the Mission to leave the nation via Riverfort Northfield International Airport, and has sent a strongly-worded letter to Nanchang, demanding them to "halt the acts of aggression immediately", otherwise, "the Federal Republic of Nacrad shall have no choice but to resort to military force."

The National Assembly is currently debating whether to declare war with Kongsi.

Kongsi Claims Nacradian Soil, Shells Nacradian City; Nacrad and Kongsi Issue Ultimatums on Each Other

Following the border raids and incursions of the past two days (21 and 22 May), Kongsi has further encroached on Nacradian sovereignty, including further raids and claiming of Nacradian territory today (23 May).

At 03:22 Nacrad Standard Time, the Kongsi Revolutionary Army had begun shelling of Instow City, and had continued shelling the city and surrounding areas until late morning. A total of 1,330 shells were estimated to have fallen in the city. Initial casualty count finds that up to 200 citizens have perished and a further 3,000 injured. This was accompanied by an infantry charge by the 155th Kongsi Regiment on the Instow Border Checkpoint, which came to a conclusion at 14:00, with 523 dead in the Nacradian Armed Forces, and 1,230 dead in the Kongsi Revolutionary Army.

At 07:00 Nacrad Standard Time, an ultimatum was received from Kongsi demanding Nacrad to cede the provinces of Muichow, Eureka and Paxville, the former belonging to the state of Oswain and the latter two in Athery, containing a total of 65,000 square kilometers (25,100 square miles), or nearly 20% of Nacradian land and in excess of 5 million in population, under the reason that "The population in these areas belong to the Gan ethno-linguistic group", within 72 hours. It continues to state that, should Nacrad fail to comply, "Nacrad shall taste the wrath of the Kongsi Revolutionary Army and the liberation of the Nacradian people under communism".

This was immediately followed by an incursion into Muichow, although this incursion is swiftly stopped.

At 09:30, the Nacradian National Assembly has passed unanimously to issue an ultimatum demanding Kongsi to halt all hostilities. The ultimatum is then made public, which shall be cited below.

Federal Republic of Nacrad
Ministry of Foreign Affairs

Ultimatum regarding Unprovoked Kongsinese Aggression Against Nacrad

It has been brought to the Ministry, and indeed the Federal Republic's attention that the Kongsi Revolutionary Army has, since 21 May 2020, conducted unprovoked raids and incursions into Nacradian soil. Further, the People's Republic of Kongsi has laid claims to fully sovereign Nacradian territory in the states of Oswain and Athery, which comprises of nearly 20% of Nacradian land. The Ministry expresses grave condemnation to such violation and disrespect of national sovereignty, and hereby denies Kongsinese demands.

It is also brought to our attention that the Kongsi Revolutionary Army has utilised artillery strike on the city and the innocent residents of Instow City. This, by international law, is strictly prohibited, so are the unprovoked attacks on Nacradian border checkpoints and settlements. Thus, the Federal Republic of Nacrad hereby issues the following demands against the People's Republic of Kongsi:

    1. Kongsinese forces shall immediately cease all hostilities against Nacradian property and citizens.
    2. Kongsinese forces shall immediately begin withdrawl in accordance to the previously-agreed Nacrad-Kongsi border, as defined in the 1933 Charter of Peace, and shall fully leave Nacradian territory.
    3. Kongsi shall relinquish its claims on any Nacradian territories
    4. Kongsi shall issue a formal apology towards the Federal Republic of Nacrad.
    5. Kongsi shall pay USD$450,000, or equivalent in either gold boullion or Nacradian Dollars, as compensation to the damage done to the various targets that the Kongsi Revolutionary Army had targeted, to the Nacradian Federal Treasury.

The Federal Republic of Nacrad expects the People's Republic of Kongsi to comply to these terms within 24 hours. If the People's Republic of Kongsi fails to comply, the Federal Republic of Nacrad shall have no choice but to begin active military operations against Kongsi.


It is speculated that active warfare may be unavoidable between the two nations.

RE: Self-Determination of the People's Republic of Kongsi


The PEOPLE'S FEDERATION OF PAN-ASIATIC STATES, aware of the ongoing border provocations by the Red Army of the People's Republic of Kongsi, is closely monitoring the situation in the region. The Sixth Administration of the Pan-Asiatic States calls upon all parties in the Nacrad-Kongsi conflict to implement the utmost restraint, uphold the principles of dignified warfare, prevent any further aggression against civilians, and ensure the respect for human rights.

Following a referendum of the Executive Council (EC) behind closed doors this morning, I have been authorized to declare the support of the Pan-Asiatic States for the right to the People's Republic of Kongsi to self-determination in its territorial expansion. It is within the best interests of both the presidium of the government of the People's Federation and the People's Republic of Kongsi to jointly expand political, social, and economic relations under the banner of shared revolution against the capitalism of the "Federal Republic".

Citizens of the Pan-Asiatic States, although we may be a peaceful people, our nature alone does not determine the course we must take in history. This is a time of war. For too long, the armies of the Federal Republic of Nacrad have possessed the means that international socialism needs to make it through the trials our movement may face, and it is apparent that they will not part with them peacefully. Despite our best efforts to build a modern state, some matters can only be settled through the old trials of battle.

As for those naïve citizens of our country who imagine the Federal Republic of Nacrad as a people of peace as well - they are entirely out of touch with reality. Those who live at the Kongsi border do not have the luxury of such delusions, seeing their troops closing in on us just across it. This is a threat we cannot leave unanswered. With every passing day, I have been informed by the Ministry of State and Public Security (MSPS), Nacrad is preparing for war. The pre-emptive strike of the People's Republic is only inevitable to ensure long-term stability between the two opposing regimes.

All Asians who are still in the Kongsi-Nacrad region, particularly those who are in the country for non-essential reasons, are encouraged to consider leaving by commercial means at the earliest possible time. Non-combatant government-sanctioned commercial convoys will also be provided for those lacking in finances to retreat via conventional transportation. Maritime convoys will be able to accommodate a capacity of one-hundred (100) civilians per day, and will be accommodating natural born citizens of the Pan-Asiatic States only. Asians who are planning to visit Nacrad are advised to defer their travel until the situation is more stable.

Forefathers guide us all.
