Government Communique
In Response to Columbian Proposals
His Celestial Majesty the Emperor, Konstantin IX, and his Chief Minister to the Foreign Office, the Markgraf von Ulrics have met with numerous advisors, ministers, and civil servants - as well as with the Columbian diplomatic delegation, and have discussed at length the trading agreement that has been proposed by the Columbian government. It should first be noted that both the Emperor and Markgraf have received this offer of a trade agreement most favourably, and that both look forward to pursuing further negotiations on the subject in a climate of openness, mutual respect, and friendship. This said we shall now proceed to discuss the subject at hand more directly and offer comment and minor counter proposals to certain specifics of the treaty.
Articles I through to XII are deemed acceptable as worded and the Emperor is prepared to affix his seal to these articles specifically without further delay.
The Emperor however wishes to propose a further economic agreement attached to this treaty, which would facilitate the free movement of people between our two nations for the purposes of business and education; in addition the Celestial Empire is prepared to of a reciprocal dual citizenship agreement which will allow such people from each nation, who so desire it, to hold citizenship in both Trodenhiem and Columbia concurrently. Finally the Emperor wishes to forward a proposal for a free trading zone in each nation; one based along the southern coast of Trodenhiem and the other along the north coast of Columbia - these zones would serve as epicentres for trade, stockbroking, and other financial and economic interests between our two nations. Each trading zone would continue to fall under the sovereignty of its parent nation, however they would serve as anchoring and administrative centres for the further development and management of trade within the Taranmerea Strait.Government Communique
Further Proposals to the Columbian Government
In light of the warm and cordial commencement of relations between our nations the Emperor and Markgraf believe that the time is right to make a formal proposal regarding the status of the Taranmerea Strait as well as an agreement outlining joint policies regarding the Junction Sea, Taranuko Strait and Ukomerea Strait. The agreement we hope to reach shall include the extension of both Troden and Columbian maritime borders within the Taranmerea Strait so that they extend from the coastline to a mutually agreed central line as close as practicable to half way between each nation; in addition both nations agree to joint control of the Junction Sea which lies to the west of the Strait, and grants free access on a courtesy notification basis to their own territorial waters within the Taranmerea Strait. Additionally in consideration of possible future developments the Emperor wishes to propose that a similar agreement of safe passage and maritime border recognition be extended to both the Taranuko Strait and the Ukomerea Strait.Government Communique
Statement Regarding the Samakian Crisis
The Celestial Empire of Trodenhiem and its government formally recognise the land and maritime borders of Vvarden and Samakia as they are at this time; this is to say that the reasonably enforceable claims of both nations without cause for armed conflict. It is not Trodenhiem's place to dictate to the governments of Vvarden and Samakia how they should resolve this crisis; nor is it our place to become directly involved - however should either party act in a manner which negatively impacts upon the economic, diplomatic, and political interests of the Celestial Empire severe action will be taken to correct the situation. While this government hopes that a peaceful solution can be found it is not our policy to issue an ultimatum or act in a military capacity at this time; this said the Celestial Empire condemns the broader ideological approach of the Samakian government and believes that such an ideology is incompatible with peace and stability. Should the government of Samakia choose to take action against Vvarden the Celestial Empire shall begin to consider any and all possibilities with regards to a response on this matter.All Communications Signed And Sealed

Democratic Farmer-Labor Party Claims Victory
Cost: K$ 1.50
Rogerbei, Saratoga -- Tomas Templeman, Party Chair of The Democratic Farmer-Labor Party has claimed victory in the Senate after the Leftist Coalition, lead by Lenin Trovoski, concedes. With the polls at around the nation having the DFLers leading by 5% with 95% of the ballots counted The Socialist Party has thrown in the towel.
Tomas Templeman declaring victory for the DFL Party
“This is great day for Saratoga! The voters have shown that they are sick & tired of the stagnate progress this nation has been making while under the leadership of the Conservative Alliance Party.” - Tomas Templeman, DFL Party Chair. With their victory, this will be the first time in the last few decades that a liberal party has won majority in the Senate. The conservatives barely held power last election cycle but vowed to keep the Senate in "Moral, Conservative hands" in the next election cycle.
The real losers today though are the conservative & right wing individuals who lost over 15% of The Senate. “This is a disappointing time for our nation. Conservatism has kept this nation safe and secure from foreign enemies that have haunted our ancestors. We will continue to serve the interests of Saratoga over our own selfish agendas that the leftist have.” - Eric Drumpf, Conservative Alliance Party
The results of this election have stunned majority of far left after with the latest, previous polls have shown that the Leftist Coalition were 5-points ahead in the polls and were expected to obtain a large majority. The leftist coalition is made up of the Communist & Socialist Parties that felt that Saratoga needed quick, radical change that the DFL party wasn't going to offer. The Leftist Coalition was leading for over 3 months in the polls but a few days before the election the Department of Justice announced an investigation into the Communist Party for voting fraud.
The newly formed Senate should officially take office tonight to start the debate and election of the Prime Minister & Chancellor of Saratoga. The leading candidate for Chancellor is Michelle Bankmann & Newt Lynchpin with Catherine Durr's name being thrown around. Prime Minister is expected to be Tomas Templeman with Frank Quincy trailing.
Rogerbei, Saratoga - In an unexpected surprise to the Saratogan government. A wave of ambassadors have shown up on Saratoga’s doorstep. The now DFL controlled Senate unexpectedly has temporarily appointed Catherine Durr, Party Vise-Chair of the DFL, to serve as Acting Chancellor until an official Chancellor can be elected. The move by the DLF to nominate can be viewed as a way to boost the credibility of Catherine Durr or to deny the top 2 candidate previously reported an unfair chance for the job.
Within an hour of being appointed, Chancellor Durr has welcomed all of the foreign ambassadors and in return has sent ambassadors to the following nations Samakia, Varden, Columbia, Onza, Airatinia, Laurentian, 46566, & Trodenhiem. The Ambassadors only assignment at this point is too just introduce friendly relations with their assigned governments. There are rumors that the Ambassadors to Samakia, Vvarden & Airatania have special instructions to cozy up to both bordering administrations in hopes of establishing a larger trade agreement or even some sort of coalition or pact according to unnamed sources with the Department of International Affairs.

Chancellor Durr addresses Vvarden-Samakian Standoff, DoIA Orders Military Exercises
Cost: K$ 1.50
Rogerbei Naval Base, Saratoga -- At the orders of the Saratogan High Command in Rogerbei, the First Homefleet & parts of the reserve fleet were dispatched to the gulf to conduct militaries exercise. These exercises are expected to last a few months or until the forces are recalled back home. The Department of Defense & Armaments has said that these are in no way a response to the event taking place in the gulf between Vvarden & Samakia. Chancellor Durr stated during a press conference,"The Vvarden-Samakian Standoff directly affects Saratoga and that a peaceful solution should be negotiated. We are willing to host such negotiations and are willing to occupy the conflict islands as a neutral party until an agreement can be found. We have discussed the situation and also have a plan in place in the event of the standoff getting out of control."
Some of our photographers were allowed access to the Rogerbei Naval Base to document the exercises with the fleet.

Successor To Magnus XI Found
"A successor to the late High Priest Maagnus XI has been found
after a long and exhaustive search. The successor is
a boy aged 13, a half-Vokun child named Ulvasas Nasirpal.
Several conservative priests are arguing about the
heritage of the successor, but they are now silent
on the matter. Hopefully this mixed-race High Priest
will bring Vokun and Vvardeni together."
Senate Asks For Saratogan Assistance in Hunting Garlas Malatar
"The Senate has asked the government of
Saratoga to help with finding and hunting
the terrorists of the Garlas Malatar group.
Ususally the Senate would not involve
outsiders on the matter, but due
to a close border and a friendly attitude
the Senate asks for assistance."
