KUN polling out of ZN. Military presence to be withdrawal to New Puerto.

Dzien sia today we some interesting news for you today. This afternoon the Szpada council had voted on the withdraw of any military personnel following referendums in the country. The KUN has not only began leaving but also withdrawing any funding being put into Zarnicovia. Any Lisamian citizens are offered the opportunity to leave Zarnicovia if they do choose to leave. This would mark that Zarnicovia would be pushed away from becoming closer to a Commonwealth State and will be left to choose their own path. The Szpada state that the Commonwealth State project in Zarnicovia maybe abandoned and our focus now is safely leave Zarnicovia for the sake our serving men and women. Though it is not yet lost however as with the withdraw, military forces that were stationed in Zarnicovia are now being sent and stationed in catholic majority New Puerto. Months ago the cartel situation has seemed to die down as efforts to fight crime in New Puerto has seen success after these past months and with the withdraw from Zarnicovia the Szpada council hopes to put that funding into the development in New Puerto. My name is Andrej Trubiski and this was CBN.

Paving the way for the mechanized troops

Development and advancement have helped pave the way for the issue of advanced body armor coming straight from the WOSDRT which is part of the OSDRT have produced the Universal Infantry Suit that will not only stop most intermediate and battle rounds but with the help of a classified composition material in some cases may even stop a 12.7mm bullets albeit due to physic being a thing it will result in injuries for the wearer due to kinetic energy. The suit was meant to compete with the Gonswanzan Boarhound Augmented Armor and offers features that aren't on their suits such as an integrated exoskeleton and CBRN protection with a filtration device. its communication features are also unique as it has encryption keys and protection similar to the ones found in the BEC-1Y radio. Of course, a soldier can't fight without a weapon and so the WOSDRT has developed weapons for the suit such as the 12.7x55mm TB-072 assault rifle and TKB-415 Mark.1 Battle Rifle and its sniper variant the GZ18 Mark.2 although other weapons such as the Dror Battle Rifle and the T14E assault rifles are also gonna be issued. A feature found on all suits is the attachment of a special Machine gun belt pack which allows machine gunners to carry a lot more ammunition.

There about 5 variants of the suit made

Standard UIS Armor: meant for your run-of-the-mill grunt

Officer UIS Armor: meant for squad leaders and officers the armor is much slimmer than normal and comes with a small cape, along with markings to denote the Officer's superior position

Desert Warfare UIS Armor: Armor that has been modified for desert combat and harsh terrain survival

Oceanian Special Tactics: meant for the special forces of Oceania that being the OTS this UIS was painted navy blue with white markings but also can be painted in other colors when neededand has a reduced infrared and thermal Signature.

Hard-shell Space Suit (HSSS): Based on the UIS and developed for the Oceanian Space Defense Corp used for meant for space travel and performing task out in space

Selected units both regulars and special forces will be trained to use and maintain the suit to from UIS mechanized units.

Unlike the Gonswanzan Boarhound Augmented Armor which has an export variant and sold to KTO nations the UIS will not see foreign sales

A gift for Darlingtown

To show that the Oceania is an ally and a friend to the nation of Darlingtown. The wise leader Bob has personally has a sent a customized PT-726 robot equipped with a screen, custom hardware and software and integrated weapon system that were to be used for self-defense painted in a cyan-blue to be gifted to their leader SACHI with Bob stating that “Us robots and AIs must stick and cooperate together if we want to stay afloat among chaos in the world” in which the custom robot was to be gifted as a sign of friendship and goodwill between the 2 nations and as a little extra thing SACHI will also be gifted a PT-726 Jr robot companion which is essentially a small version of the PT-726.

Baltic States see build-up of Uralian troops

Photo of Uralian build-up in Kroljevagrad Oblast

According to sources in the Baltic States, Uralian ground forces on the Baltic border have been increasing in number,

with Naval vessels patrolling the Baltic more frequently. It’s suspected that the Baltic-Uralia deal hadn’t been up to

what the higher echelons of the Uralian Government had hoped for and that Uralia is prepping for another invasion.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs had denied that the agreement hadn’t been up to fruition and that the increased

numbers of ground forces is for invasion purposes. As of now the Baltic-Uralia deal has not been reported to have

been agreed upon, and a response from Tallinn, Riga, and Vilnius are suspected to come within the coming week.

Emperor Announces Finnish Independence


Finnish Soldiers being interviewed on Friday

The Imperial Broadcasting Network, a state-owned media company owned by the RATC, released a fifteen minute video alongside one of their Weekly Recaps at noon on Friday that featured the Emperor and the results of his ongoing visit to Finland. While visiting Riftan and Finnish troops in Tampere on Friday, the Emperor made a few brief remarks about the state of the two militaries, saying “Our cooperation has never been stronger and our combined strength is unprecedented”

Finnish and Riftan troops were seen playing cards and scoopball in the Riftan garrison in Tampere before and after their artillery testing outside the city. General McCalley, a decorated Riftan military leader and temporary leader of the 426th Arctic Operations Legion announced that war games would be taking place over the next few days.

The news report concluded when the Emperor announced that Finland was gaining status as a protectorate and would no longer be a colony, followed by a cheer from the Finnish soldiers watching.

Finnish soldiers observe the unloading of military vehicles on late-Thursday

Shortly after the Emperor arrived in Finland on Thursday, multiple spacefaring Riftan super-transports landed in Rovaniemi carrying several hundred Riftan artillery pieces, most of which being Post-Modern Tech. Numerous fresh-off-the-line Riftan Arctic Combat Assault Transports (ACATS) were delivered for the war games taking place over the coming weeks.

The Finnish Chief of Defence, General Timo Kivinen, announced that the Finnish Defence Forces would be purchasing an unannounced number of attack helicopters and submarines, which it previously lacked, from suppliers such as the RATC and Rifto-Finn Heavy Industries.

We welcome the Marajarbian’s attempt to try to contain us

Earlier this day the Southeast Marajarbia has released a statement stating the how the alliance should be contain however the one that sticks out the most from this statement is the following quote.

Then, there's the Oceanians, hailing from GreatOceania, a militaristic and authoritarian bunch, armed to the teeth with technology one could call too advanced for modern peoples. Their own military might has led to disaster and destruction left and right, with bombarded buildings everywhere and anywhere, in many directions, being evidence enough of why containment is necessary.

When the wise Leader Bob got heard of this he just had to make an announcement about it even broadcasting it live on air.

“The Chucks in the East has made claims that we have technology that is to advance for the modern people well here’s my 2 cents the Marajarbia government is just jealous that we have such technologic advancements things such as the PT-726 help various factories fulfilled jobs that were deemed unsafe for humans , pair the PT-726 with the DZ-1 drone the robots help Civil Control officers keep the streets of Oceania safe for civilians use they are also used for companionship and helping out around the house.

The reason why Oceanian representatives are rarely seen at political events was to prevent problems and issues that will arise between other fellow nations because of this it allowed us to focus our home front and military improving infrastructure and homeland defense the military managing to get ahold of newer and advanced equipment such as the UIS armor that will allow them to be efficient and deadly on the frontlines beside your typical small-arms development we have been doing behind the scene projects with a weapon that can eat through CBRN gear and another that will be considered a biological threat by many.

So listen up you Marajarbians if you didn’t focus as much on the political front and improved your military you could’ve achieved something similar to us however ignorance is what kept your nation from advancing in the technology front

So here some advice come and try to contain us but be aware we have territory near your nation and if you crazy enough to try to invade us make sure to have a strong logistics corp and economy because it will be an expensive fight for you”

7th October 2022
OFFICIAL COMMUNIQUE FROM
THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF COUNTESIA

---

---

The Federal Republic of Countesia, in light of the repeated false accusations being brought against it, officially CONDEMNS The Naval Federal Union of Southwest Majambera. Citing that its claims that the P.E.U is a Countesian scapegoat is factually untrue, and the follow up claim that the Countesian Federal Government never made any effort to contain the P.E.U to be an insult of the highest order to the lives lost across all of the branches of the Countesian Federal Armed Forces and Countesian Federal Intelligence in its attempts to combat the P.E.U. over the years, the failure of which Countesia has publicly apologised for.

The Federal Republic of Countesia wishes to state for the record that it was willing to stomach these insults, especially from a nation who fell victim to numerous international crimes as in the name of goodwill. What it will not tolerate, however, is the Marajarbian claim that Countesia is imperialist. By no officially recognised measure is Countesia "Imperialist", in fact, the nation has scored highly on the International Development Index, the LGBT Rights Index and the International Freedom Index. This shows, by all official measure, Countesia is a fair and just democracy. And the for the audacity for the Marajarbians to dispute this is the one of two reasons behind this condemnation.

the second reason being is the sheer hypocrisy of the Marajarbian Government. It is no secret that Southeast Marajarbia have committed far worse crimes against humanity than Countesia could ever fathom, and by several magnitudes no less. The KTO possesses entire archives of Marajarbian war crimes. These include:

---

Its unjustified colonisation of multiple nations in which its government proudly lists.
Forcible re-education of Galapagueño children
Ethnic cleansing of over 5,000 Galapagueño citizens
Mass imprisonment of Galapagueño citizens
Allowing Lakan Kolonialtrupplers to conduct biological warfare against Galapagueño noncombatants and wildlife
Standing by and allowing the Lakan government to abduct countless Galapagueño citizens and ship them overseas to work as slave labour in construction projects

---

The Marajarbian government seems to think that allowing its former emperor to be executed pardons their nation from such horrific acts perpetrated by and authorised by their government. If the international community should rise up and rally against anyone, it should be the fascist peoples of Southeast Marajarbia.

Without any response to our attempts of settling the issue of The Ukraine peacefully,
we will be forced to conduct the two options handed to the SFB a few days ago. The
Ministry has approved of the following to be conducted by the SFB and associated
agencies:

- Opening of 100+ forced labor camps across remote areas of the Central Military District
- Forced relocation of half of all ethnic Ukrainians to these camps, other half are to be neutralized with no quarter.
- All entry of foreign media and foreign nationals is to be tightened further.
- Naval borders are to be patrolled 24/7
- All foreign and Uralian nationals approaching any border are to be shot on sight by Border units.
- Operations in foreign territory as a counter measure to potential foreign military personnel.

The escape of suspected Ukrainian insurgents and the entry of foreign nationals in support of the
insurgency is to be avoided at all costs. An escalated insurgency will mean further action must be
conducted. Agencies in friendly nations such as Armenia will be contacted on potential aid in the
conduction of this operation.

A new address is given by Laura Ortiz, posted from her bed, though it's likely that it could also be posted to social media later.

I have come upon a new truth, about this cruel world. The powers that be seem ignorant of the disaster that lies in the Americas, with the zombie plague coming to life as the dead rise. Hence, to act preemptively, with reports of the threat trekking northwards, Gonswanza shall deal a final blow before it can ever begin. We never had control in the US, but we can easily end it in Canada. Hence, Gonswanza will smite them with fire and brimstone. Given the failures of containment, this will merely be an appetizer for the main course. Hail, the new age. Hail, death. May they find peace in the coming darkness.

ISIC:
Canada was not infected, but it did offer an excuse for a nuclear strike, as a Toby soon pulls out of a tunnel and deploys a launcher, prior to the missile launching a warhead into orbit. Several other trains do the same, as civilians are evacuated to shelters deep underground. Post-launch, the trains retreat for their own bunkers, being loaded with a new missile, as the warheads are lofted into an orbital trajectory, ready to drop down upon major Canadian cities. Being neutron bombs with a cobalt casing, their effects would be beyond horrific, with the fallout due to spread across the country.

Special operations conducted in the UAE and Oman

This afternoon it has been announced that the air force of the commonwealth has successfully conducted multiple strikes on key infrastructure in coastal cities including the Oman capital of Muscat. The 1st and 2nd have been dispatched to the coasts to begin operations in the countries. The reason for the operations was the result of multiple human rights cases of abuse against religious and ethnic minorities in both the UAE and Oman, Varosa had sent multiple invitations in order to figure out a middle ground between these nations and yet they refused. In response, the KUN has ordered the dismantlement of these oppressive bureaucratic governments and the allowing of rights to be given to minority groups in the nations.

Ceszarist Sasha Juhasz is under intensive care after falling ill

In Satsurika it has been announced in the Ceszarist's palace that our Ceszarist Sasha Juhasz is being hospitalized because of an intense illness she has been battling for a week now and has now only gotten worse. It is said that the Ceszarist's personal guards had gone to go to check on her it wasn't until they heard a thud that they rushed over and found our Ceszarist Sasha Juhasz passed out on the ground. She was immediately rushed to the hospital where she has been under intensive care and although her condition has been stabilized for now she still has not gotten better. her daughter, Petra Juhasz came out stating that her mother's condition has sadly only worsened and the hope of her possibly recovering could take a while we have no clue what to do other than pray.

To our comrades fighting the good fight in Trans-Uralia and Armenia against the fascists. We have heard of a meeting between your two great nations. Zarnicovia Nova has interests similar to yours and recent intelligence report suggest that a coup against my new regime will occur just before the meeting. As the coup planners have the objective of assignation first, it would be a great excuse for the time to ‘get changed last minute’ to foil their plan.

Lewis makes diplomatic jesters to KTO looking for the end to ZN membership suspension

Lewis and other Zarnicovian Novan diplomatic officials have begun talks with KTO officials from both the Galapagos and Janpia looking for the end of the suspension of membership in the KTO. Lewis and his diplomats taking that the country will be moving towards a more democratic and inclusive regime also stating that Zarnicovia Nova has a new government with more considerations and alignment for KTO objectives. So far little action has been taken on these actions but, Lewis spokespersons and press officials have stated that this is with the objective of rejoining KTO fully. As part of one of these jesters Zarnicovia Nova have condemned Marajarbia as ‘war criminals’, ‘historical revisionists and propagandists liberal liars’ stating that Zarnicovia Nova will not stand for and will fight against the non-truths and imperialistic actions of Marajarbia.

To the people of the world,

Kitara has watched the situation in Europe with growing concern, noting the emboldened aggression of Trans-Uralia and Armenia as they have sought to fulfil their imperialistic ambitions to the detriment of their neighbours and indeed the very concept of peace between nations. Appeasement of these powers is not only useless, it is actively harmful as they continue to expand their dominions at the expense of other nations and peoples.

As such, the Union of Kitara is formally announcing the imposition of sanctions on the Armenian and Uralian governments, alongside specific individuals and organisations connected to the functioning of these regimes. We urge Armenia and Trans-Uralia to step back, relinquish their conquests, and respect the principles of national self-determination and the international rule of law, restoring normal relations with the world. However, should this warning go unheeded and aggression continue unabated, we may be forced to impose more severe penalties. We trust it shall not come to this.

Regards,

Kiira Okello, Director for Foreign Affairs

[The Military State of the Galapagos]

As the helicopter sped over the Pacific Captain Alexander Haven took a sip from a “7/11 Devin” can. Looking up from the imported Oceanian art he can see the dull landscape of rural Mexico. The pilots up front had “Fortunate Son” playing on the radio as tribute to the Americans that they were supposed to be helping. The song was briefly interrupted by a quick briefing of the situation and about how “though unlikely there may be survivors make sure to protect them, they may have information about Gonswanzan crimes.” They were one of 76 helicopters participating in “Operation Two Headed Eagle” the plan to try and salvage the remainder of America.

Two hours later 12 of the helicopters had set down on the border setting up checkpoints to prevent the infection from spreading south to Mexico and ultimately the Galapagos. The remainder set towards what remained of texas crossing over Gonswanzan territory shortly after Alexander finished up his magazine and dumped it.


Meanwhile back at the homeland the race for president was revving up. Despite the fact that the blunder in Aursi had ruined Kenton’s reputation he still tried his hardest to secure some sort of victory for the conservatives to no avail. When the final results came in it was to nobodies surprise a landslide victory for the moderates and their leader Jaymes Ever. With Kenton deposed the future of the Galapagos remains uncertain and its destiny unwritten.

SIC:
As the world turns and burns, Laura Ortiz lies in her hospital bed, sucking down water with a straw, as she waits to be released. Security was beyond overkill, with only trusted medical staff and security present, along with the Silent Guard holding position, as the hospital itself got new anti-air and anti-vehicle defenses, posted around with several radar stations and SAM sites... Along with a few Tunguskas posted around, paired to anti-drone and anti-missile defenses to reinforce the anti-air defenses. Anti-tank weapons were passed around with anti-personnel devices, ready to be deployed.

The goddamned hospital was turned into an impenetrable fortress, yet, a lone black car arrives and slips through the multiple security checkpoints, with identification confirmed and logged.

Moving up to her room, a small creature was allowed in, with Laura Ortiz almost choking on her drink before she offers her arms out for a hug. The little girl soon jumps into her arms to join her, uttering the first unexpected words for a lamia, despite having some similarities to Ortiz herself.

"Mama!"

Laura Ortiz just gently holds the hefty little girl to herself, almost shedding a tear of happiness, as the guards look away, with snipers posted to keep an eye out for anyone willing to take advantage of this. Thick bullet proof windows rated to stop high velocity autocannon rounds and reinforced walls kept her safe, though the caring arms of a woman were enough to keep the little one safe.

"Maria... You are my Maria. The future of Gonswanza. Be strong, for mama."

The government of Deutsch-Francia asserts that the recent actions of the aforementioned states fundamentally threatens the balance of power in Europe, and urges the two states to back down. Deutsch-Francia will respond to any further acts of aggression through any means it views as necessary.

“The people of Gonswanza are useful idiots to the government. They are a people who’ve been brainwashed beyond recognition. Those who think are sent to the sinner bin and those who don’t are rewarded.”
-Richard Gaylord, Galapagos Writer

Following the election of the new liberal Galapagos government the institutions have changed and the way the government functions has changed to. One of these changes is the Galapagos policy towards Gonswanza’s power flaunting. Previously the conservative government had a policy of “see nothing say nothing” towards Gonswanza now the liberals have given Laura an offer to cease their pointless warmongering or face diplomatic consequences.

Official Galapagos Communication

To: The Warmongers in power of Gonswanza
The Galapagos has watched for to long Gonswanza abuse their power first against the innocent Americans and now against the people of Canada. No longer should we put up with this. Starting now any aggressive action by Gonswanza against the people of North or South America will be punished accordingly. Gonswanza has lulled itself into the delusion that they can do whatever they want free of consequences and so far people have allowed them to do that. No longer shall the flag of Gonswanza be feared among the Americas now with the ratification of the Sanchez Doctrine America is protected by the Galapagos from foreign powers.

[Gonswanza]

And to the public, Laura Ortiz's first (adopted) daughter is revealed to the public, held by Laura Ortiz who is still in bed, seemingly in better condition, though the reason why she's in bed is purely down to simple medical needs and security. Upon her lap, and laying beside her, in her arms, is a child whose lower half was a snake. A small little creature, who was being held like a child, with Laura Ortiz almost seeming proud of her. The state media has labeled her as being named Maria Ortiz, a fitting name, though the image has been pushed around by said state media in an attempt to try to push this cute image around. A young child, a daughter of a cruel dictator. And yet, it almost seems like a publicity stunt.

Of course, there's no response to the Galapagosian commentary, given that Gonswanza IS part of the KTO. Hence, an attack against Gonswanza is an attack against all, a suicide pact for Galapagos should they act irate. Hilarious, truly, how Gonswanza has gone ignored until now, with little impact.

SIC:
But that won't change the fallout, the rampaging bioweapon unleashed upon the US, or the occupation. If anything, it only gave peacekeepers a motive to continue their dirty work, imposing a rule upon the occupied states far bloodier than anything that had ever existed in the history of the continent.

Who Is Grand Duke Konstantin?: All You Need to Know About the Viceroy of Anatolia
-by Vosdanig Kazandjian

Konstantin (Official portrait)

Amongst all of Armenia's officials, none have quite as many questions concerning them than the Viceroy of Anatolia...

Grand Duke Konstantin - the youngest brother of the late Hrach I - came to prominence in the court during his brother's reign; being rather popular amongst Armenia's political elite...no doubt due to his part in re-stabilizing the country after the vilest of purges perpetrated by His Majesty's closest advisors; and for aiding in the rebuilding of many a monument and structure - as well as his funding of many a charity group. By all means - Konstantin represented the very fundamental image of Armenian; one filled not with laziness and selfishness - but one of great activity and selflessness; for he - in his eyes - was to serve his people, not the other way around. This has - of course - remained the same throughout the years...even as the fatherland has grown more and more suspicious of the humanitarian ways...especially following the assassination of Hrach - of whom was struck down so brutally by an AZNUP terrorist in Janpia all those months ago.

Twas he who led many a unit during the glorious conquest of the Balkans and - appropriately - Twas he who, with little opposition, attained the most glorious title that he bares to this day. One of the most prevalent reformers during the time - Twas he who would often advocate for the abdication of his nephew - the late Gdridg II - and has, to little doubt, supported the policies of his younger nephew - His Imperial Majesty - of whom, by many an official, has been dubbed 'Armenia's finest'.

Nevertheless, Konstantin is known to be a relatively prevalent force in the National Assembly - having played a major role in the appointment of Sergey Akimov as the Prime Minister.

[Vikanias]

A nice October evening, the winds blow down onto the trees as the leaves fall to the ground, Kaiser Loaf IV looks at the ground and his 4 year old son Loaf Jr. for his whole life Loaf has seen Vikanias rise and fall rise and fall, like many other nations in history. However today Vikanias would halt from its stagnation, and rise once more as a beacon of Liberty in a world ruled by hate and tension. “The Northern Lion shall not be held back by those who seek to oppose its roar, for the lion is bested by few, yet respected by all.” He mutters, as his son plays with his dinosaur figures, Kaiserin Deseala calls out from the window, “dinners ready!” She yells as his son picks up his toys frantically and runs to his mother, Loaf looks and sees he forgot to pick up his favourite Alamosaur toy, and picks it up fir him. “Frankly” he mutters “this is no time for a boy like him” he enters his palace and meets with his family, his wife, and two sons, Eggludski and Loaf Jr. 4 and 2 years old he sees Loaf jr. panic as he is missing one if his toys, he looks everywhere as his mother comforts him, Loaf places it down besides him and he is relieved as he hugs the plush. He sits down beside his two sons and talks to Deseala. “I’m doing it tomorrow” he says as he begins to eat his steak. “No Loaf, please you know how much we have lost, especially your mother, your father, your brothers, you’ve lost nearly everyone, your old mentors, you have only me, your two boys, and Big left. If you die, we die. It’s not hard to understand?” She pleads. Loaf ponders it, before responding “I must, for the country. If I fail, I already have contacts that will help you escape and find a place to go to exile.” Deseala responds, by a simple nod and they begin to eat.

3:44 AM

“Hey little brother, 3rd day here hehe… your are as good as dead! Everyone shall bow under me as I am the rightful Kaiser, and to prove it to you.” Günter would pull out his tops before heading fit Loaf’s eye. Loaf would wake in a sweat, he has nightmares every night from the civil war, that bloodshed could’ve been avoided if he had not done certain things. He has survivors guilt. He looks at the wall, before dozing back off to sleep uneasy.

10:22 AM

Loaf would leave the mansion, in full attire of a Kaiser, things the revolutionary government had forbidden, he drove to the nearest military base and entered, he saluted the men, the soldiers are uneased by this, as this was forbidden. “Soldiers! It’s time.” Suddenly like a wildfire the soldiers prepare and the radio broadcast is playing his message.

“Brothers and Sisters of Vikanias, I as the Kaiser come to you with a question, how much tyranny does one need to live, that number is 0 but Eggislav, the chairman has decided it should be 100, he has betrayed the great nation of Vikanias, and we need to restore liberty th to the North, we either succeed or die trying. Hurrah! Brothers and sisters of Vikanias!”

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Trans-Uralian Federation and the

Minister of Finance would like to remind Kitara that the trade between

the continent of Africa itself in relation to imported goods coming into

the Federation are completely minuscule. According to the Ministry of

Finance, shares in Africa take up .1% of all imported goods, meaning

Kitara and any other African nation don’t make it to even the top 10

let alone top 50 of our top trading partners that the Federation imports

from. We suspect it’s the same with our friends in Armenia. It has been

projected that the Kitaran economy will suffer should the sanctions

continue, with the lack of Uralian Metals, Oil, Gas, Chemicals, Fertilizers,

etc. your government will seek these other materials from other at a

larger price. We suggest the lifting of sanctions for the safety of your

country both economically and otherwise.

While the Armenian government has no quarrels with postponing our meeting with President Gorbachenko until a later date - we do have a plethora of questions. Who, or what, is it that you suspect to be planning a coup? What are the motives of said person or group? How did your government receive word of this potential seizure of power? Are you positive that such an event has actually been planned? Can we do anything else to help soothe the political instability in your country? Indeed - the list goes on and on - but, nonetheless, we await your answers to all of those aforementioned. It'd be a waste to postpone an important event for nothing - after all...

Of course - the postponing of such an event cannot be done until the Uralian government responds - hence why, per the decree of the National Assembly, we have decided to forward this message to their ministry as well.

Transcript from secret message to Trans-Uralia and Armenia

Yes, we thank you for considering us in this great battle, and postponing the meeting to allow for counter-action against the coupers. As for your questions;
Who, or what, is it that you suspect to be planning a coup?
We are suspecting that members of Grand Council aligned primarly with AZNUP and the NSZWP are leading over 56 insurgent/militias groups and 67 internal military divisions. Numbering around 3,600,000 troops, although many are not be combat capable. Currnetly they've mobilized 50,000 and plan on mobilizing around 350,000 for the coup.
What are the motives of said person or group?
General opposition to my regime and my actions of declaring myself leader of this great nation.
How did your government receive word of this potential seizure of power?
Members of AZNUP and NSZWP loyal to me and South Olpen spies have alerted me of the coup
Are you positive that such an event has actually been planned?
Ask, Olpen. Their spies and intel are the best. But I personnally believe so.
Can we do anything else to help soothe the political instability in your country?
Any aid will be helpful, intel most of all. But, guns to increase my own combat capable troops would also be helpful.

SIC:
In the states, the infection continued to grow and spread, evolving rapidly, mutating to fit a variety of climates across the states. It began to reach through Texas, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and other regions where it had first taken root. Infected passenger airlines and trains carried it across the states, while agents worked quickly to smuggle zombies, bodies and samples across the border. Yet, it was quickly beginning to escalate beyond the intended "zones", with the US military being overwhelmed as well as hospitals. Gonswanza is considering just flat out nuking the US, but with Galapagos suddenly attempting to white knight the states, there was no reason to let them take such an easy win like that... Rather, when it came down to it, parliament decided to push a new order to Laura Ortiz as a proposal, one that was approved hastily and silently.

Operation Silence.

Allow the infection to spread, contain it only at the border, let it push against Gonswanzan gains and overtake the nation, but secure land for Mexico and build a new border there, while also creating a swath of land for Gonswanza to have access to Thacker Pass. All the while, study the virus in this new "lab" and continue to research its effects, while the US is left reeling with this disaster that will be ignored by the world. A genocide far greater than that of Europe, an entire nation brought to its knees.

IC:
A Halloween ball is in the works, with an "open invitation" for all to come being available. A public event, though security will be present, being hosted in Jaktoo of all places. Funny that the same place where Laura Ortiz got shot was the location to host it. Yet, various forms of security is supposedly ready to present themselves, including the armed forces, and it's likely that certain nations will be barred from the event. Though, that also means that there will be checkpoints everywhere, too, with the city on lockdown.

The Voice of the People

Temporary Paramount Leader finally decided by unanimous vote of CGC, Moderates Win Out.

With the temporary reprieve in regards to conflict (excluding the handleable Gyzantian Conflict), the vote for a Temporary Paramount Leader has finally been conducted, with the compromise candidate Beom Dae being decided upon in a unanimous vote, after former-successor Rekumnpov Arezian was expelled from voting due to Counter-Revolutionary Sentiment.

Once an Admiral in the NKPN, Beom Dae has been a career politician (and arguable leader of the most moderate portions of the PPCPNK) since 2000, having left his role years after the end of Neo-Korea’s foreign intervention (before its restarting in the recent past).

In conjunction with a role that is likely to be far less powerful than his predecessor’s (The Paramount Leader in comparison to the Temporary Variant), Beom Dae is notable for both his relative lack of a expressed ideological viewpoint and his age, both factors which have seemingly allowed for the increasingly factional CGC to come to an agreement on his appointment.

While no one is likely specifically pleased with this arrangement, The Voice of the People supposes that it could be worse.
