The Referendum April 8th, 2019 The Bosphorus Union After the overwhelming result of the referendum (63% in favor of the Union), it marked the beginning of a new era for the Strait. The oligarchic experience, coupled with the fear that Asia Minor, aggressively returning to the limelight on the Middle East stage, had led the population to seek in the security of a thriving nation such as the Hellenic Union a ray of salvation. This had given premier Hatzis the confidence to establish a great series of reforms to lift the two nations from the period of instability that the recent economic crisis had brought to the region. The most pressing problem remains the delicate situation on the border with Asia Minor, further aggravated by the death of King Constantine I and the rise of the military junta. A military intervention, possible thanks to the help of the neighboring nation of Ubizytotska, it is necessary to guarantee a prosperous future to the region.

Today our relatively new president "Erone Sark" has announced that it will soon be mandatory to own a gun. During a recent conference, he announced that he will be placing in a law that requires all able-bodied citizens so take a course in gun ownership, maintenance, safety, and usage. Courses will start at 18 and a refresher course will be required every four years. Paid leave will be provided during these courses if you must take off work to attend them, and each citizen will eventually be provided with a personal M4 carbine. We asked people on the street how they felt about this. "Gun laws were extremely loose already, now we're making sure every tom dick and harry must have one! I don't think this is safe. I'll be in my house for the next few years.". As you can see, this has already caused some tension within the country, but only time will tell how things will turn out.

A ​New Flag for Songjiang






The new flag heavily is based on the civil war flag


Designed and approved months ago the new flag was awaiting sufficient number to be made so they could be passed out to all agencies, and made available for sale to the public in quantity.

The new flag retains the sun of the original while removing the yellow stars and the white bar, instead it has a fighting dragon and lion representing the war between the imperialists and the republic. next to the dragon is the word Ming, next to the tiger Huang representing the leaders of the two factions during the civil war. bellow the animals is the word Mǎnzhōu the ancient word for Manchuria.
It had originally been hoped the new flag could be introduced at a ceremony with the leaders of the rebel factions present but with the prime minister still missing and the war with the USSS the flag changeover has had little fanfare.

Economic Reform

A vote on the 7th of April to repeal the Restriction of Business Act (2018) was successful. What does this mean for Prussiaholm? For starters, all bussiness will taxed the same (with the exeception of the tobacco industry, the governments way to try crack down on smoking.) The Arms industry is also being taxed more than other industries. The fees for applying to have a business have gone from 2000 Marks to 200 marks. This should encourage more small time businesses. You can also apply for a Business Grant from the Economic Council. Depending on your situation, the money is intended to get your business of the ground.

NEWSLETTER: Going Out Of Buisness

Due to little to none sales of our products, I have decided to shut down ToQui. In the past 2 months, sales have dropped a surprising 2800%. I do not know what caused this, and it makes me sad. But it is happening to other businesses too. Walk down the street in Mam and you see a business shutting down. Go into a grocery store and see the shelves all full, and no one inside of the building. I do not know what is happening to Worris, but I hope this time ends soon. The economy is falling apart! Our government needs to fix this mess.

Thank you for signing up for our newsletter. I'm sorry I let you down.

The Songjiang Army along with the Miltonian 5th infantry Initiated Operation Raider harvest on the 15 of April as part of a massive attack lasting 4 days supported by the Songjiang Air Corps and elements of the Miltonian Air Force.

The operation went exceptionally well with comparably few casualties sustained apparently caught of guard by a major attack that was not proceeded by a large increase in artillery fire a day before as per normal.
With the operation at an end the new focus is taking Beijing and supporting the coastal advance it is believed once they loose the coastline and Beijing they will loose a large majority of there will to fight and those who had been being oppressed by the USSS government will start to take risks and overthrow the leadership of the USSS or simply join Confederate or Songjiang forces in the fight.

Birth of a wonderous Community!

To celebrate our glorious creation, we the Scientific Community of Informare decided to create the most wondrous and most accurate news source for our fabulous community to digest!
Our perfect leader, President Bill Nye held his first speech at the House of Science congratulating our superb community in winning the peaceful rally and overthrowing the previous radical and incompetent government, who was against science! As a technocracy Science is our true leader! in addition, no longer will incompetency be allowed in our great community! Only the best of the best deserve to shape our fantastic and lovely community!

Extremely exciting I say! No longer will politics enslave us! No longer will incompetency be tolerated in our lovely community's government. The basis of our government will be based similarly on the extremely efficient model of a corporation. The board with the CEO position being Bill Nye, which controls broadly the who government. Now they can't micromanage everything so there are many checks and balances set in place so every part can work most efficiently. The community is solely ruled by science! If Science says that there would be a better way to live, I bet our community would agree wholeheartedly that our community would be more than glad to transform itself.

One of our first policies, Bill Nye gleefully told us is being initiated immediately is that any and all homeless will be given a small living unit to live in until they get back onto their feet, as long as they agree to do several science experiments every few weeks. The experiments will never cost them a dime and they get to live in a wonderful home for absolutely free!

The education budget is being increased dramatically and will be experimented with to find the most efficient and best way to teach our future community! The smarter the average person in our community is the better we are all off!

As a community we are also pushing to grow our economy in many ways, Bill Nye also mentions that we will not be silly like other nations and heavily tax our citizens, but instead we will finance and invest in our domestic and foreign businesses. We do this by hiring the best of the best to trade stock, grow our investments so big we use the interest to fund many of our operations. This isn't to say you won't be taxed. In fact, this operation will take a few years to start so until then our community won't feel any major changes to their taxes.

If the previous policy made you fearful of losing the free market, don't be. We are not controlling the businesses in any way shape or form, we merely invest in them for profit!

The final note Bill Nye said in his speech is that we will try and spread our desire for science around the world. 'Science is the only way to progress and better ourselves'. His final words were, "If you are against Science you are against our Great and fabulous community."

Worrisian Haiti sold to Informare for $5,000,000,000

Today, Akando Azure, president of Worris, has met up with Mr. Bill Nye of Informare, a scientific community. They made a deal, which was that Haiti would be sold to Infomare for 5 billion dollars. The other part of the agreement was that if anything were to go wrong, Haiti would belong to Worris again, and Informare would get their money back. Bill Nye was quoted saying, "It is my mission to change the world. I'm not kidding: Make no small plans, dream mighty things." Maybe this will help the technocratic country advance even more.

Land lease in Liradonia

---


A diplomatic mission between Prussiaholm's Emilia Braun and Liradonia's Amy Gracia establish greater relations between the two nations. One of which was a defensive pact, establishing if one nation gets attacked, the other must come to their defence. However, more importantly, a treaty was signed leasing Liradonian land to the Prussiaholmer Government for factory space. Developers and the government will take resources to Liradonia, build factories and use the factories for a set amount of time. After that, they either renew the lease, or the land goes back to the Liradonian Government.

You may be wondering, why would Prussiaholm do this? Ever since earlier in 2019, most of the government-owned factory base is being used for the Naval Development Program. This agreement allows the government to use factories for other projects, allowing a greater industrial output from the nation.

These are the kinds of factories to be expected in the leased land.

The People's Revolutionary Army 04/28/2019 Hertzl Brigade and Workers Fighting League Prepares Revolution Following the vast rioting and resistance effort organized and promoted by the First Hannoverian United People's Congress, the Vanavoian puppet police have begun their retreat from our streets and our factories! However this is not the end of the line. The reborn nation Noxtremian nation cannot be properly formed until the Vanavoian hegemony over us has been dismantled and burned. The instrument by which we will liberate ourselves is the newly established, People's Revolutionary Army. Headed by the forces of our Hertzl Brigade, the PRA will first be tasked with providing security for centers of working class activity, then the liberation of the means of production, and finally, they shall provide for the security of the state apparatus. A Minister of Revolutionary Forces will soon be elected by the newly established United Noxtremian People's Defense Council. This council oversees the policy goals of the military, and works to improve the logistical and strategic position of our army. United Noxtremian People's Defense Council

Prospsperity just around the corner!

As many in our lovely community has heard in the prior weeks, we the great and fabulous community have purchased (the equivalence of) Haiti from the laudable Worris. Many of our lovely community believed this to be a mere rumor and laughable as, and I quote, "What new nation buys land nearly as soon as it just came into being for 5 billion dollars, hahahahahaha...".We are here to put these rumors to rest. It is completely true! Our fabulous community bought Haiti at a hilarious cheap price. Once our beautiful nation regains some plef, in about half a year to a years time our beautiful nation will incentivize a massive terraform to our prosperous companies to turn Haiti into a production powerhouse! Wonderfully some of our fabulous companies already started to set up factories and shop in our transforming Haiti. Everything from Cars, planes, cheese, clothes, computers and other techs, even military weaponry for our marvelous protection, will be produced on Haiti! This means our fabulous community will be able to live happily and buy everything for a much cheaper price.


Some questions we got from out citizens


'What about all the jobs we will be losing?!': Don't fear virtually no jobs will be transferred to Haiti. Millions of jobs will be created! Boosting our economy enormously!
'WHAT THE F***k THEY ARE CUTTING OUR SPACE PROGRAM!!!!': Yes, unfortunately for a brief time, we will be cutting out space program in order to regain ours loses faster. This will last only a year in which our economy would naturally recover our losses.
"Why did the opposition leader Mr. Adribblo disappear?" That is currently under investigation as to the factuality of the statement.
'Is bill nye sleeping with the famous celebrity Victorious Vikerous?!": The CEO leaves no statement... as he blushes profusely!!!

5 billion $$$ wasted by our community!!!!!!!

What on earth is our community doing? This government was just created and they waste 5 billion dollars selling our jobs to oversea. And then they stop literally all space funding!? Yes, homelessness did significantly decrease since their creation but how are we going to produce science if our community will throw billions away?! I'm chuckling at this insane stupidity. Why did we even purchase Haiti? I don't see any reason why we need those people. They aren't scientists! We will have to pump billions more into improving their education to only meet our BASELINE! This is outrageous and must be stopped! It is also outrageous how the scandalous rumor between Bill Nye and Victorious Vikerous is pretty much drowning our all concerns about important issues.

Bill Nye X Victorious Vikerous??

[list] The other day at the restuarant "foodsyfy" there were rumors of Bill Nye and Victorious Vikerous eating together at like the same table! Later at the end, they shared the most passionate kiss! Drama! what will this mean for our most beloved Victorious VikerousAccording to our most accurate news station "Informare's Terrarum News" when Bill Nye was asked if he and the super uber model Victorious Vikerous were snogging it up, "he blushes profusely!!!", with three exclamation marks! His face must have been like redder than a tomato for that many exclamation marks! This means, of course, means that he was truly embarrassed by the question. I have no doubt in my mind because of how red his face was that this truly happened. But wait there's more when we asked Victorious Vikerour herself if this happened we got a letter from her lawyer requesting stop spreading false rumors around and that they don't know where this rumor even sprang up from. Obviously, this is not true as our 100% accurate newsletter "Informare's Terrarum News" pretty much told us it was true as I explained earlier! So this must be a cover up!! Of course, Victorious Vikerous would want to cover this up. We all know that she has it hard for the jacked god Bob! She must be soo horrified that this as I suspect will destroy any chances with Bob. We talked to Bob and he says "if the rumor is true, I'd still tap that...". So obviously Victorious Vikerous must not know that as she is scared of admitting the truth.

Oh and welcome Haiti to our fabulous community I know you'll love it here!!

The Hannoverian Workers' Weekly Paper, April 30th, 2019 Seizure of Vanavoian Assets in Münster Last night in Münster, a detachment from the 4th Workers Brigade, acting under the direction of Captain Ernst Hellner, staged a surprise attack against the local Vanavoian garrison. The official statement from the United Noxtremian People's Defense Council says that: Some 204 proletarian forces, armed with military surplus from the Third Rhein War, managed to seize the garrison and the Vanavoian supplies stored there. The supplies include some small artillery pieces, a surfeit of firearms and ammunition, and a small group of army grade vehicles. This daring raid has greatly sped-up our modernization and production plan, these supplies provide the necessary jump-start for arms manufacturing. It was also reported that the Münster police are working with the PRA to keep the city secure and increase recruitment. 48 PRA soldiers were killed in the seizure of the base; Vanavoian casualties are unknown. Newly outfitted PRA troops from the 12th Workers Brigade riding along with a supply convoy.

As of right now, the People's Revolutionary Army (PRA), which is controlled by the so-called "United Noxtremian People's Defense Council", has attacked many Vanavoian and Hanoverian soldiers and munitions depots. The so-called "United Noxtremian People's Defense Council" has no political legitimacy or sovereignty, and the Nationalist Gold Union condemns their actions in the strongest regards.

Land lease Prisalia, Prussiaholm Recognises Noxtrem?

---


Earlier this morning, the Economic Council announced a land lease between Prussiaholm and Prisalia. The agreement is similar of that to the one with Liradonia, except that the actual amount of lease years has been defined. In 2024, the factories will become Prisalian. Prussiaholmer businesses are encouraged to hire Prisalians in the new factories to boost the local ecomomy. Economic analysers are predicting that smaller industires will gain strength here, hopefully destroying the monoply that the Arms Companies have on the economy.

​Miracle on the Taedong: What happened?



Skyline of the city of Pyongyang


Among the global economic depression, every country in the world is being hit in different ways. Many of the Asian countries seem to be taking heavy losses to their manufacturing industry due to the rapidly growing global military industrial complex. European economies are stagnant and almost entirely dependent on military production. Global tourism has plummeted. American stockholders and investors have been selling everything due to what seems like constant impeding border conflict. Africa is still controlled by foreign nations and private militaries. Is there any country on the planet that is still holding up?

The Republic of Korea sits snugly on the Korean peninsula. After hundreds of years of on-off colonization and imperialism, Korea is a free country, and has since seen a great economic boom since its independence. What many economists call "the Miracle on the Taedong", the rapid reconstruction and development of the Korean economy, is nowadays commonly seen as a shining model of free-market capitalism. However, the Korean economic boom seems to be coming to a screeching halt as the global economy tanks.

The capital city of Korea, Pyongyang, has recently seen a sharp upward incline of crime and black market activities, similar to what is happening in the Philippines. What police call "no-go zones" have taken over many city blocks as geondal crime has increased to an almost administrative level. Gang kingpins and major mafiosos nearly control the economy of the city, with protection contracts and nepotism keeping local industry in check.

The economic changes brought about by the increase of gang control have been a call for concern by many. The Korean army has been very strong and capable in the past, but with the government unable to enforce taxes in their wealthiest city, defense spending has had to be cut. In fact, many conservative politicians within Korea have been calling for foreign intervention to liberate cities like Pyongyang from geondal domination.

"Mercs, armies, riot police, something," said Jang Song-thaek, Chairman of the National Development Party of Korea. "We need to clean our inner cities of these criminals who have been keeping our economy from growing for their own personal benefit."

Many other notable figures have been welcoming the change of control.

"Even though economic growth hasn't been doing so well ever since the increase of geondal presence in our cities, I think we should keep an eye on what may follow," said Yang Sung-tae, Social Justice Party senator, "Perhaps, after their order is established, we may see another economic boom never seen before. Perhaps all we needed was a new administrative force over the zaibatsus, if you'd pardon my Japanese."

Regardless, the national government seems incapable of taking action. Only time will tell whether or not the Miracle on the Taedong will weather the storm.

MADRID POLICE DEPARTMENT
Confidential Report: Prisalian Mafia
The "Prisalian Mafia" is a generalization of a group of 4 major crime families and a few others. The majors are the Fernandino, Sanchez, D'al Martin, and Cavaco families. They deal in drug trafficking, human trafficking, weapons trafficking, extortion, assassination, counterfeiting currency, and any other illegal thing you can think of. They usually work together for their own profit, but they sometimes fight each other over territory. We have suspicions that the Madrid Airport is de facto controlled by the D'al Martin family, but the investigation is being stonewalled. We also think they might have a deal with Prussiaholmer criminals, but that's being stonewalled too. These families gained power via instability in the government, eventually becoming even more powerful than even Parliament. Be careful with these guys.

​NGU to give loan to Prisalia



Ambassador to APSIA Donald Cohen, the main negotiator of the loan


The government has announced that they will be giving the Kingdom of Prisalia a $20 billion loan to assist the economic reconstruction of the war-torn country.

The loan, which was negotiated and finalized by the APSIA Ambassador Donald Cohen two days ago, diverts $20 billion from the state budget to the Prisalian government, which will be used to rebuild national infrastructure, subsidize small business, and overall encourage economic growth in the war-torn Iberian nation. The loan will be payed over the course of 120 months, and with interest accounted for, $252,270,422.72 will be owed by Prisalia to the Nationalist Gold Union on a monthly basis.

The loan comes with praise and criticism by many wings of the government and nation. Ralph Schultes, an industrial magnate and successful businessman, was skeptical.

"I foresee that this will help the economy of Prisalia and hopefully improve their current situation," Schultes said, "but this is all coming out of the pockets of our citizenry, at a time of global economic recession. We're already thinly spread for money."

Part of the loan agreement will allow the Nationalist Gold Union to construct military bases overseas in Prisalia, while also giving the NGU the authority to overturn certain Prisalian military decisions.

Ishmael Sieger, the Union Minister for the Five-Year Plan, praised the Christian Right government's economic aid to Prisalia.

"Prisalia has lots of potential," Sieger said. "This will prove to be mutually beneficial."

Stock Exchange Drops as Elections Near - 05/04/2019



National Stock Exchange in Mumbai


At the closing bell on Friday, May 3rd, the Panjali Industrial Average (PIA) had dropped over 6% in under 48 hours, or over 2,000 points.

This massive, sudden drop comes in part due to large amount of apprehension from foreign investors who having been looking on at the Panjali political scene, and noting the uncertainty in the future of Panjal. Of course, the market has been in a bear trend for the past year due to the now consistently failing global economy, but nothing this drastic has been witnessed yet.

The economic future of Panjal is uncertain, to say the absolute least. Large investors have not shown a clear preference to any candidate currently running in the election, and the incoming Premier will inevitably have the largest economic burden to bear out of any previous Panjali leaders.

Special Edition, May 5th, 2019 On May 4th forces from the glorious PRA launched a lightning offensive against the Vanavoian oppressors, striking at the cities of Stuttgart, Mainz, and Wiesbaden. At the end of the last Noxtro-Vanavoian war, the Vanavoians occupied a string of bases across Baden-Württemberg and the Rhineland-Palatinate. From these bases the Vanavoians supply the Hannoverian Army (loyal to the puppet duke), and maintain a stronghold of the region. The RPA has alienated Stuttgart, Mainz, and Wiesbaden for their extreme strategic importance, and sympathy to the cause of worker's revolution. In Stuttgart, the Hertzl Brigade has been able to use captured artillery to bombard strategic areas of the city, using information provided to them by the local SED chapter. A group of Stuttgart Trade Unionists were given early notice of the attack, and have organized a route for evacuees from the city. Fighting in the city is currently ongoing as the 10th Workers Brigade moves through the city. The UNPDC (United Noxtremian People's Defense Council) is providing status updates on the offensive every twelve hours. The most recent one reads: The 2nd and 1st companies of the 10 Workers Brigade managed to seize the local transportation management centers, and have secured a route for the 4th company to relieve units fighting loyalists forces near to city government center. The revolution is moving swiftly. In Wiesbaden, the 1st and 2nd Worker Brigades have been welcomed warmly into the town by locals. As our proletarian forces moved into the town, they were welcomed warmly by several officials, including the local mayor. However as the brigades moved to secure the local government and police centers, they encounter well prepared loyalist forces. The city was devoid of Vanavoians, and several like-minded workers join the army in our glorious struggle. According to the UNPDC statement: Wiesbaden has been secured, the Vanavoian forces there were serving in advisory and support roles to the loyalist police forces. The loyalists were well prepared, armed with military grade weapons (of vanavoian design). The 1st Brigade did not move nearly as fast as expected, resulting in a several hour stretch of close-quarters combat. Ultimately victory came to the working class, as it always does. The 1st Brigade is currently securing the city, and preparing it for usage as a staging ground for further offensive operations. The 2nd Brigade is en-route to Mainz. The UNPC has only provided one comment on the battle in Mainz, The Mainz operation has become extremely tedious very quickly, it appears the Vanavoians we anticipated at Wiesbaden have advanced to Mainz, producing an unexpected defensive. No further comment can be given until the conclusion of this operation. Men from the 1st Workers Brigade in combat with loyalist police in Wiesbaden, provided by the UNPDC
