In response to the rising concerns of school shootings and violence, the country of Xeola has implemented stringent security measures in schools to ensure the safety and well-being of students and staff. With the tragic incidents of school shootings becoming all too common in many parts of the world, Xeola has taken a proactive approach to prevent such events from occurring within its borders.

One of the key security measures that Xeola has introduced in schools is the mandatory use of metal detectors and security checks at school entrances. These measures are aimed at detecting any unauthorized individuals attempting to enter school premises with weapons or harmful intentions. By implementing metal detectors, school authorities can quickly identify and remove any potential threats before they have the chance to cause harm.

The decision to enforce checks and metal detectors in schools has been met with mixed reactions from the public. While some parents and educators applaud the government's efforts to enhance school security, others have expressed concerns about the impact these measures may have on the learning environment and student experience. Critics argue that the presence of metal detectors and security checks can create a sense of fear and anxiety among students, detracting from the overall educational experience.

Despite these concerns, proponents of the security measures argue that the safety and security of students and staff should always be the top priority. By implementing checks and metal detectors in schools, Xeola aims to create a safe and secure learning environment where students can focus on their studies without fear of violence or harm. Furthermore, proponents point out that these security measures have been successful in preventing potential threats and ensuring quick responses in the event of an emergency.

In addition to checks and metal detectors, Xeola has also invested in training school staff and implementing emergency response protocols to effectively handle crisis situations. By providing educators with the necessary tools and training to respond to emergencies, Xeola is further enhancing the safety and security of its schools.

While the implementation of checks and metal detectors in schools may be a controversial topic, it is clear that Xeola is taking proactive steps to address the growing concern of school shootings and violence. By prioritizing the safety of students and staff, Xeola is sending a strong message that school security is a top priority.

As the debate on school security measures continues, one thing is certain – the safety and well-being of students should always come first. With its implementation of checks and metal detectors in schools, Xeola is setting a precedent for other countries to follow in order to create a safe and secure learning environment for all.

The Quendellian Muntpaper: Apparent End of the World War?

Postby Quendell » Sun Sep 01, 2024 5:02 pm

It's a terrible thing for governments to fight each other as they have access to deadly weaponry and hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but it's not nearly as bad compared to when citizens are fighting each other. Oh I shudder to think what could happen if such an atrocity were to take place. You see when citizens are angry they have something the government doesn't...motive. And a man with motive can do so much more than you can imagine -Hurl Mondogo,1992

Have our nightmares ended?

So many people have been wondering "Is the war really over?" This war has lasted for about 1 year now and the USSR has shockingly surrendered. However that only applies to the government as the soldiers that still stay in Synodos are still fighting in the war after all this time. Many people think this is more than just a miscommunication and this is being done on purpose by the soldiers in Synodos. This could mean that the war won't end just yet, but not just that it could also mean it might get worse. In the world war the governments are typically focused on other governments, however the citizens might not always have the same perspective as their governments do. If gone unnoticed for a very long time a stirring of rage takes place within them and when this rage is given a chance to escape they might defy their government's orders as shown with USSR. When the USSR ordered to stop the attack, the hatred of the soldiers rose fiercely making the soldiers deny the order. Even in Quendell there is some of this as the government is strictly neutral while the Quendellians are supportive of the USSR. Will this happen again? well, let's pray it doesn't.

Hate Crimes

A young 12 year old Karenthian boy named Edward Stone and his mother Katherine Stone were just murdered in their apartment located in Clockwork Heart (The capital of Quendell). This murder is shrouded in mystery but it was expected to be a hate crime done by an extreme USSR supporter, and the government is worried how many more of these will take place. All we can do is pray for the society.

D.E.U.S. News Network: Operation Black Fire
D.E.U.S. forces have retreated from the island of Luzon. Fatality reports have been greatly over estimated, as when the USSR troops launched the first wave of missiles D.E.U.S. troops were told to pull out. Silver Command seems to have misunderstood the purpose of Operation Spark. The purpose of Operation Spark was to gain a foothold on the Batanes and Babuyan islands turning them into fortresses and a landing pad. That objective has been completed and more. Luzon was just the icing on the cake.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With Silver forces focused on taking back Luzon D.E.U.S. launched Operation Black Fire. After the initial wave of Unguided missiles that were aimed at Luzon a fleet of the new Heavy Unit Deployment (HUD) planes and three fleets of C-17s left from the Batanes and Babuyan islands. These fleets were escorted by F-15s, ten to a fleet.

The fleets of C-17s preformed HALO (high altitude low opening) jumps landing 3,000 troops. The HUDs landed 6 Abrams tanks, and C-17s landed 4 M777 Howitzers, 4 AN/TWQ-1 Avengers, and 5 M551 Sheridans (slightly modified), through LAPES (Low Altitude Parachute Extraction System).

The HUDs were under heavy fire and one crashed with its crew. 7 F-15s and 2 C-17s were lost in the attack.

Troops have been dropped near Kampong Cham (Cambodia) with more to soon come.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With the retreat from Lazon the D E.U.S. navy has once again condensed. Hiveships have been used to great effect in warding off larger ships, and anti-ship missiles have been effective at keeping the Patrol ships at bay. The Ekranoplans are large targets and the artillery on the islands have been taking pop shots at them with the experimental ammunition, they missed by kilometers of course, but they have proved that the new ammunition works. The experimental ammunition only gave a yield of 2KT though, showing that the expectations were over estimated. More conventional weapons have been much more effective at moving the Ekranoplans away.

Heavy Unit Deployment planes: modified C-17 designed specifically for the deployment of Heavy Units such as Main Battle Tanks. Most online sources agree that it is possible to do it in the way I described, but it's not really very practical.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Formal Military Report: Counteroffensive Operations Against D.E.U.S. Forces

Date: 10 September 2026
Locations: Luzon, Philippines, Kampong Cham, Cambodia, Northern Islands (Batanes and Babuyan)
Objective: Total Annihilation of D.E.U.S. Forces in Kampong Cham and Neutralization of Northern Island Threats




1. Background and Situation Overview

Following the successful recapture of Luzon by USSR forces, D.E.U.S. has attempted to mislead and destabilize Silver Command by launching Operation Black Fire. This operation involved a large-scale airborne assault on Kampong Cham, Cambodia, utilizing heavy unit deployment planes and C-17 transports to drop tanks, artillery, and infantry behind our lines. In response, Silver Command has initiated a multi-pronged counteroffensive to eliminate the D.E.U.S. threat in Cambodia, neutralize their hold on the Batanes and Babuyan islands, and ensure Luzon remains secure.




2. Kampong Cham Counteroffensive

Forces Deployed:
- 31st, 32nd, 33rd, 34th, 35th, and 37th SS Brigades: 22,000 troops, heavily armed with 7.92mm automatic rifles, anti-armor weapons, and portable mortars.
- 1st and 2nd Armored Brigades: 120 Stahlchild Main Battle Tanks, equipped with 120mm smoothbore cannons and advanced composite armor.
- 40th and 41st Weltuntergangstruppen Aus Silber Brigades: 4,000 prototype heavy brutes, wielding 13.2mm heavy machine guns, designed for close-quarters combat and heavy suppression.
- Aerial Support: 50 Phantomfaulke multi-role fighters, 30 Julius strike aircraft, tasked with ground leveling operations and air superiority.

Operational Execution:
- Phase 1: Immediate Response: The SS brigades were rapidly deployed to encircle and engage D.E.U.S. forces in Kampong Cham. Their coordinated assault, supported by the 1st and 2nd Armored Brigades, delivered a crushing blow to the D.E.U.S. ground forces. The Stahlchild MBTs, with their superior firepower and armor, annihilated the Abrams tanks and M551 Sheridans deployed by D.E.U.S.
- Phase 2: Aerial Dominance: Phantomfaulke fighters and Julius strike aircraft conducted precision strikes on D.E.U.S. positions, obliterating artillery and anti-air defenses. The overwhelming air superiority prevented any escape or regrouping by the enemy. All C-17s were shot down accordingly.
- Phase 3: Weltuntergangstruppen Assault: The 40th and 41st Weltuntergangstruppen Aus Silber Brigades moved in to mop up remaining resistance. Their sheer strength and resilience allowed them to crush any pockets of D.E.U.S. infantry, ensuring no survivors.

Outcome: Total elimination of D.E.U.S. forces in Kampong Cham. The operation was a decisive victory, with minimal casualties on our side.




3. Northern Islands Assault

Forces Deployed:
- Missile Barrage: Thousands of unguided missiles launched from mainland and naval platforms to saturate defenses on the Batanes and Babuyan islands, targeting airfields, fortifications, and supply lines.
- 3rd SP Artillery Brigade: 40 S-205 HAG (Silber 205 Heavy Artillery Guns), positioned on Luzon to provide precision fire on any remaining D.E.U.S. installations.

Operational Execution:
- Missile Barrage: A massive saturation bombardment targeted every known D.E.U.S. installation on the northern islands. The barrage aimed to dismantle all airfields, making any further air assaults impossible.
- Artillery Fire Support: The 3rd SP Artillery Brigade provided accurate, sustained bombardment of any remaining resistance. The 205mm S-205 HAG guns, renowned for their destructive power, ensured complete eradication of D.E.U.S. defenses.

Outcome: The Batanes and Babuyan islands were effectively neutralized as operational bases for D.E.U.S., ensuring that they can no longer pose a threat to Luzon or any other nearby territories.




4. Securing Luzon

Forces Deployed:
- 14th and 15th Mechanized Infantry Brigades: 15,000 troops, equipped with advanced IFVs and mobile fortification units, tasked with setting up defenses and securing the perimeter.
- 3rd SP Artillery Brigade: Reinforced on Luzon to maintain sustained artillery fire on northern island positions.
- 12th SEKS Brigade: Deployed from KMS Silberberg (a newly named helicopter aircraft carrier) to deal with any remaining threats.

Operational Execution:
- Fortification and Reinforcement: The 14th and 15th Mechanized Infantry Brigades established defensive positions across Luzon, focusing on critical points to prevent any future D.E.U.S. incursions.
- Artillery Oversight: The 3rd SP Artillery Brigade continued its precision bombardment, ensuring no D.E.U.S. forces could regroup on the northern islands.
- SEKS Rapid Response: The 12th SEKS Brigade, deployed via KMS Silberberg, was tasked with rapid response to any emerging threats on Luzon or the surrounding areas.

Outcome: Luzon remains secure under USSR control. Defensive fortifications are in place, and any potential threats are actively monitored and suppressed.




5. Conclusion and Recommendations

The successful annihilation of D.E.U.S. forces in Cambodia and the neutralization of their northern island strongholds represent a significant strategic victory for the USSR. Luzon is now fully secured, and our forces are well-positioned to prevent any future incursions.

It is recommended that further intelligence operations be conducted to monitor D.E.U.S. movements in the region and that our forces remain on high alert for any signs of regrouping. The deployment of additional naval and aerial assets to the region should also be considered to maintain our dominance in the theater.

Midget submarines and full-length submarines have been deployed in surrounding USSR waters - and beyond - to neutralize any other enemy military transports.

The troops have retreated and regrouped until further action.

GIO Public Intelligence Report 0197

Postby The Workers United » Mon Sep 02, 2024 6:21 am

What just happened?

Mein Gott...
The USSR has surrendered. Unconditionally. No, this is not a joke. Luckily for the Internationale, they had negotiated a deal with Terrae Karunethiae to leave Synodos just a day prior, with the map decided on by this deal now being supported by the Ypres Front, the final nation still with troops in the SRC. The peace terms forced on the USSR are extremely harsh, most notably forcing what's left of the USSR to adopt capitalism. The USSR has claimed that they had only surrendered in the SRC and has rejected this treaty, but the CAN is still trying to enforce it. With the USSR out of the picture, and the UCS distracted by their own war, the Internationale has become the de-facto leader of the Socialist World. With this development, the Internationale has announced the United Front, or "Einheitsfront", an alliance of socialist nations, currently only including itself and the small nation of Stransistria, although the Internationale has reached out to other Socialists such as the Ypres Front and former allies of the USSR such as Quendell. Many of the USSR's Government officials, Top scientists, and Socialist supporters have fled to the Internationale, including Queen Silvia Serena of the Protectorate. More updates will be coming soon.

D.E.U.S. News Network: What the Enemy Knows not
Location; 28km out side of Phnom Penh

Three M777s stood aimed at Phnom Penh ready to fire. Private Arnot Norm was a bit confused about the plan, "Sir, if I may ask a question, sir."

Fortunately for the private the commander was in a better mood than he had been the last couple of hours, "Speak your mind private."

"Why are we doing this? Shouldn't we have stayed in Kampong and fought?" It seemed more logical to him, make a base for more troops to land, grow in numbers.

"Private, staying in Kampong is a death sentence," The commander looked over the crates of experimental ammunition, "Besides, we have an objective to complete."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was a beautiful day in Phnom Penh. The street markets were bustling with shoppers, the city center was decorated with colors and flowers of all types, and the sky was lit up with four suns.

People screamed in terror, others fell to the earth temporarily blinded, more watched in horrid fascination as mushroom clouds rose kilometers outside the city. Three more suns appeared, more fell to the ground temporarily blinded, a great wailing rose from the city.

A message played across every radio channel, every television, every phone.

"To the people of the USSR. This day we could have taken back only a fraction of the life that you stole from the innocent. We could have made Phnom Penh unlivable. We could have given back to you what you gave to the innocent in Greece. But we didn't. We detonated our artillery in a way that you would only feel a breeze, that the radiation you receive from a sunburn is more than you will get from these explosions, and that not a single hair was burned. We have shown you what you did not show the Innocent.

"Mercy."

Three more suns appeared in the sky.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Romans 12:17-19 NIV
[17] Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. [18] If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. [19] Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.

Military

A spike in the production of artillery and infantry equipment, as well as a severe increase in recruitment, has allowed the Synodosian Defense Force to reach 100,000 soldiers total. 50,000 more are expected to be drafted in the next week. Significant movements behind the Defense Line show troops moving and shifting. Additionally, long-range artillery and unguided missiles strikes have picked up in quantity. TK Blockade ships have also begun to increase bombardment frequency. Conventional air bombing has also started, with B-1b Lancer's using conventional carpet bombing tactics. Currently, barrgages, both artillery, naval, and air, are discriminant, with refugee camps and the remaining urban areas not under fire, and known military targets bombed.

Economy

The economy has buckled, held up only by the Board Of Directors personal funding. However, funding is starting to run dry. Multi-billion dollar loans have been taken from multiple TK and Kyrekian Banks. The weight of the military economy can only be held for so long. Food has been important for civilians and soldiers.

Technology

No funding.

The USSR denies ever seeing 7 suns within its lands.

Our troops have defeated the Dragonians in who have landed and helicopters have done sweeping missions by day and by night.

Any artillery gun was destroyed, as it is visible by infrared and has a unique heat signature. Especially large heavy M777s firing M982 Excalibur-like shells.

No USSR civilian, has died. The market is safe. Not a tree or leaf has been touched or harmed.




3 rockets within the USSR have been spotted heading to space.

The war against me

Postby Stransistria » Tue Sep 03, 2024 2:43 am

My nation was attacked by neighboring Xeola. Only a hour ago had they launched the first offensive of the war, but we held firm at all costs, forcing Xeola forces back to there home country, The frontline has been stable since this first attack on my sovereignty, My nation is mobilizing troops for the war, and Internationale equipment and troops are now arriving in droves.

My ally's naval forces have destoyed any attempts by the aggressors to achieve superiority at sea, and we are planning for a grand offensive incase Xeola doesn't accept peace. The initial Air Battle has been much more contested, though, as our allies have not been able to assist us, but what little of an Air Force we have has been dooing it's job well.

We await your response, Xeola.

Peace! Thank god we're at peace at last!

Today marks a momentous moment. Delegations from the Ypres Front, Synodos, Terrae Karunethaie, and The Workers United have met in Athens to discuss a peace treaty.
After over a month of discussions, both sides of the war were able to reach an agreement:
  • The SRC would continue to exist, as a protectorate of the USSR and The Ypres Front.
  • SRC will be split, with all land below the 39th parallel continuing under the SRC government. This will also include the Aegean Islands, which were under SRC control prior to the war.
  • All land above the 39th parallel will be given to Synodos, who will be allowed to set up their own government unhindered by any of their former rivals.

Ah, for god's sake, here it is https://imgur.com/a/FQEULns.
Land surrounded in red will be under SRC control, all the rest goes to Synodos.

Our 12000 men in Greece have been told to lay down their arms, and instead, have been set to work rebuilding basic infrastructure in affected areas.
(Also, we would like to point out we had no hand in the devastation caused by the other nations).

Peace to this world. Ypres Front, out.

Trump News

Postby Terrae Karunethiae » Tue Sep 03, 2024 10:33 am

War
As calls to end the war have grown louder and louder, Trump was approached with a proposal to secure the independence of Tritonios while bringing his boys home much sooner. Of course, for purely ethical reasons, he agreed, and definitely didn’t plan to pull a Munich Conference on them. Trump made a statement about this development recently;
“I believe that we have been the victors in this war. We have secured the independence of our great friend, Synodos, and have brought our boys home. Now, I truly hope this will be the last time we fight over some silly thing in the balkans. Except for Libnatsi. Yeah we’re invading them. Now, I know this may seem strange, but they’re practically unarmed, I tell you. We will roll over them, and then we can relax and bring our boys home”

As one war ended, another arose, as the 3 million Karunethiae forces formerly stationed in Northern Greece moved to the Libnatsi border and attacked. Coming in from all sides on the majorly unarmed and underdefended nation, they would commit Admiral Sheldon to several landings along the coast with 100k men, as the 3 million in the north speedran their way through the unsuspecting Libnatsi. Their capital was captured in mere hours, and their government destroyed. Only 50k Karunethian casualties were recorded, with roughly 70k Libnatsi casualties. Fringe pockets of resistance continue to remain within Libnatsi, as Karunethiae forces hold down the region. Meanwhile, the other 300k Karunethiae forces have remained in Synodos to help keep the new government safe and secure.

D.E.U.S. News Network: In Denial
A cry has gone out of Phnom Penh as the USSR denies what they have seen with their own eyes. An organization has recently released a video showing nine subsequent explosions in the skies near Phnom Penh. The group is calling themselves the Ten Suns for the nine explosions and the one real sun. USSR peace keeping forces have cracked down the video online and continue to deny that the attack happened at all.

A last flight of D.E.U.S. planes flew over Kampong before the attack on the Batanes and Babuyan islands. They dropped food, water, and clothing with notes reading, 'For the civilians who were unfortunately caught in the crossfire'. This greatly confused the Silver forces in the town as they had just finished mopping up the last D.E.U.S. resistance. All planes were shortly shot down.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

D.E.U.S. forces on the Batanes and Babuyan islands have reported that the USSR again has overestimated its own attacks. While the Babuyan islands have been incapacitated as operational bases the Batanes islands have not. Anti-air effectively protected the Islands as most of the attacks were focused on the Babuyan islands. D.E.U.S. forces have settled in place for what seems to be a stalemate.

The submarines have been countered by Torpedo boats with reports saying that once spotted Torpedo boats have successfully destroyed submarines. The midget subs have proven more elusive and harder to find and hit, though no major casualties have been reported. Air superiority has been lost, spurring the arrival of more anti-air and anti-ship weapons. More fortifications on the Batanes have been made, Hundreds of tunnels and bunkers are now in place with supplies to last more than a year of fighting. The areas around the islands have been heavily mined and reports of a USSR Cruiser sailing into a mine and blowing up have been made.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With peace in Greece being talked over and hopefully soon established, D.E.U.S. diplomates have said that they are open to peace talks with USSR diplomates. They hope that D.E.U.S. and the USSR can come to a better peace than the original treaty drawn up by Terrae Karunthiae.

D.E.U.S. also condemns Terrae Karunethiae's attack on Libnatsi, calling the attack 'Unnecessary provocation' and 'Needlessly violent and greedy'.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This section is just for clarification's sake as there seems to have been a miscommunication. The attack happened just before/during the USSR counter offensive. The troops landed on the close side to Phnom Penh from Kampong (they were almost in the middle but slightly closer to Kampong) and immediately split the Three towed Artillery moving to get within range of Phnom Penh and the rest going to Kampong.

All forces, after the attack, were lost as stated by USSR reports.

WAR IS OVER

Postby Synodos » Tue Sep 03, 2024 3:11 pm

WAR OVER

With the war over, the Ypres Front, Terrae Karunerithae, DEUS, and Synodos agreed to peace. Here are the terms:

The 39th Parallel will delegate the borders. However, the Aegean Islands will all go to the SRC, and the Ionian Islands will be placed under TK control. The new Synodosian Conglomerate will set up a Capital in Thessaloniki, which was relatively unharmed by the attacks. Efforts to rebuild and recolonize Larissa are underway, with severe demilitarization taking part in Synodos. All and any surplus weapons and equipment are being sold off to anybody who wants them. The borders of Synodos will remain open to all immigrants, providing immediate amnesty and living visas to all who choose to live in and work for the Synodosian Conglomerate. The border with the SRC is not fortified and the Synodosian Defense Force has been disbanded.

A statement from board member Baldwin Cadwell:

"The rest of our funding not used in the war will go to reconstruction of infrastructure and industry. Most importantly, to Synthetic Rubber Refineries, Gas Refineries, Miscellaneous Refineries (Jet fuel, kerosene, diesel, propane, etc), Heavy Oil and Asphalt Refineries, and plastics refineries in Northern Epirus. All will be under the Synodosian Conglomerate Subsidiary, Aegean Oil, making a return. Have your oil ready for export."

Currently, there are no embargoes, and Synodos is a free trade state.

Technology

Funding opened up for research for a new large-flow pipeline designed to carry oil and fuel over large distances.

Funding opened up for research on a more efficient way to refine oil.

USSR News Network: Truth Unveiled




Location: 28km outside of Phnom Penh

The air was thick with tension as the three M777 howitzers stood ready, their barrels aimed ominously at Phnom Penh. Private Arnot Norm, uneasy and unsure, finally summoned the courage to speak up. "Sir, if I may ask a question, sir."

The commander, unusually calm, turned to the private. "Speak your mind, private."

"Why are we doing this? Shouldn't we have stayed in Kampong and fought? It seems more logical to hold our ground, establish a base for reinforcements."

The commander glanced over the crates of experimental ammunition, his expression darkening. "Private, staying in Kampong would have been a death sentence. Our mission is clear, and we have an objective to complete."




A Few Kilometers Away, Hidden in the Shadows

Unbeknownst to the D.E.U.S. forces, the 30th Silver Sonderienzatskommando Silber (SS) brigade had been silently tracking them for days. Hidden in the dense underbrush, the elite SEKS soldiers observed the D.E.U.S. troops as they prepared their artillery.

"Command, this is Alpha. Target is in sight. They're preparing the shells," whispered Captain Markus Valen, the leader of the 30th SEKS brigade. He watched through his scope, his eye narrowing as he recognized the markings on the crates. "Nuclear shells. Just as we suspected."

"We have everything we need. Proceed with phase two," came the voice from command.




Back at the Artillery Site

The tension reached its peak as the commander gave the order. "Ready the shells. On my command, we fire."

Private Norm hesitated as he loaded the shell, a chill running down his spine. But before he could dwell on it, a strange sound came from one of the howitzers.

"Sir, something's wrong!" one of the soldiers shouted, frantically checking the mechanisms. The howitzers, one by one, refused to fire.

"What the hell is going on?" the commander barked, rushing over to inspect the malfunctioning weapons. His frustration quickly turned to horror as he realized the truth: they had been sabotaged.

Before the D.E.U.S. soldiers could react, the SEKS brigade emerged from the shadows, their weapons drawn, surrounding the bewildered enemy.

"Drop your weapons!" Captain Valen's voice was cold and commanding. The D.E.U.S. soldiers had no choice but to comply, the fear of the unknown gripping them.

As the SEKS soldiers secured the area, Captain Valen approached the D.E.U.S. commander, his eyes filled with contempt. "You thought you could make the USSR suffer, didn't you? Thought you could bring us to our knees with your cowardly tactics."

The commander of the D.E.U.S. forces glared defiantly. "We don't fear death."

Valen's lips curled into a sinister smile. "You'll wish we gave you death."




Later That Night, Deep in the Forest

The night was eerily silent as the SEKS soldiers prepared to transport the captured D.E.U.S. troops. Valen stood apart from the others, watching as the prisoners were led away, their fates unknown.

He took a deep breath, the cold air biting at his skin. The mission was a success, but something darker lingered in the air, something unspoken.

As Valen turned to leave, a whisper echoed through the trees, a voice that seemed to come from nowhere and everywhere at once.

"The ten suns were meant to burn... But now, they will forever linger in the shadows, haunting those who dared to kindle their flames."

The forest remained silent, the only sound being the faint rustle of leaves as the 30th SEKS brigade vanished into the night, leaving no trace behind. The truth was buried, and the world would never know what had truly transpired.

But the message was clear: mercy was a word the USSR had redefined.




The captured troops can be returned to the D.E.U.S if they so wish. Get them before it's too late.
No matter what you say, you cannot sneak upon my land without us noticing. We know our way about our land. I will continue denying this happened; even if you roleplay it did, I will roleplay not.






USSR Strategic Report: Operation Iron Silence

Stage 1: Communication Disruption

At 0300 hours, the USSR initiated a wide-scale electronic warfare operation, flooding all known radio frequencies used by D.E.U.S. forces with static and noise. The aim was to sever their communication lines, isolating the Batanes defenders from any potential reinforcements or coordination efforts.

Stage 2: Ekranoplan Strike

Utilizing the speed and stealth of the Ekranoplans, a coordinated attack was launched against the torpedo boats patrolling the waters around Batanes Island. The Ekranoplans moved swiftly, catching the boats by surprise and eliminating them with precision strikes. In tandem, any Dragonian Hiveship presence was eradicated, ensuring no aerial or naval threats remained to challenge the upcoming assault.

Ekranoplans do not trigger sea mines as they fly above them.

Stage 3: Artillery Barrage from Luzon

At 0400 hours, self-propelled artillery and rocket units stationed in Luzon began a concentrated bombardment of Batanes Island. The artillery focused on softening the island's defenses, targeting known fortifications, supply caches, and any visible troop movements.

Stage 4: Missile Saturation

At 0500 hours, thousands of unguided missiles were launched from the USSR mainland. These missiles, a mix of high explosives and bunker busters, saturated the island's defenses, overwhelming anti-air systems and penetrating deep into fortified positions. The intense barrage continued for several hours, leaving no area untouched.

Stage 5: SEKS Commando Infiltration

At 0800 hours, the 31st SEKS Brigade landed on the island under the cover of darkneSEKS and smoke. Their mission: locate and infiltrate the bunker entrances. Once the entrances were found, the commandos filled the bunkers with thick smoke, attempting to lure the defenders out.

Stage 6: Response to Non-Compliance

Despite the smoke, if the occupants refuse to surrender.

1000 hours: The 32nd SEKS Brigade was sent from a patrol ship. These frogmen set up heavy explosives around the island, underwater, after minesweepers cleared a path for them to do so.

We warn the troops to surrender before the explosives detonate and water comes flooding into the bunkers; they have 24 hours to make their decision. The 31st SEKS Brigade was evacuated.

The troops can be returned to the D.E.U.S if they so wish. Get them before it's too late.






Synodos, watch your mouth. The USSR did not damage much of your destroyed economy. We did not send B-52s and B-1b Lancers. We did not follow a scorched earth policy. If anyone's to pay for damages, it's you.

All we had was forty 105mm towed artillery cannons. When calculated, non-USSR damaged infrastructure amounts to at least 85%.

D.E.U.S. News Network: Running from the Truth
As the USSR continues to deny that Phnom Penh was attacked Ten Suns is growing in traction. Most of the population of Phnom Penh is now a part of Ten Suns, and a movement is growing inside Krong Kampong Cham only 77 kilometers outside Phnom Penh. The people there say they were treated with kindness and respect by D.E.U.S. forces and that the food, water, and clothes were greatly appreciated. USSR peace keeping forces around the USSR have reported many who support Ten Suns in all parts of the country. It seems as though the propaganda techniques that the USSR is employing aren't working.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As any wise nation would D.E.U.S. knows when it has lost. D.E.U.S. forces have pulled out of the Batanes and Babuyan islands. But tragedy struck. While Evacuating the Batanes and Babuyan islands under USSR, terms the explosives that the USSR put on the island went off. This 'Accident' (or as they will most likely play it off as D.E.U.S. sabotage) has killed 25,000 Brave men who had already surrendered and were peacefully retreating. This has cause huge implications on the international stage, showing the world that the USSR doesn't care about life. They only care about winning.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After the tragedy of the Batanes D.E.U.S. diplomates literally slammed the door in the USSR diplomates faces. Many across D.E.U.S. are outraged causing military forces to spike tremendously. D.E.U.S. has moved into a fulltime war economy, producing weapons at an alarming rate. Work on another Aircraft Carrier has even begun with production on many naval vessels going rapidly, D.E.U.S. predicts a doubling of its current navy within two months.

As the world looks on the still raging war between D.E.U.S. and USSR, there is only one thing that they can see. That the USSR has indeed redefined the word Mercy.

Straight into Terror.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Troops landed 39-40km outside of Phnom Penh and they immediately started moving to get in range. If they moved at a leisurely 30kmph (18.6mph) it would have taken them 20-25 minutes to get into position and Maybe, Maybe 15 minutes to set up and fire. This gives 35-40 minutes at the very very very most.

I will continue to say that it happened. Let the community decide.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


May we ride the Dragons forever. God bless.

What I am saying up there is not propaganda on my part. It is fact. You can deny it, but I will still uphold it.

They twist my words, and push on something highly ridiculous. The Ten Suns did not exist. They did not exist. They will never exist on USSR territory. The troops are loyal only to their country, which gave them free education, free housing, free healthcare, and utmost support when they needed it, just like we supported the Quendellians.

The landing troops have been murdered by submarines and the navy. Ekranoplans with their superiour speed and stealth dealt with them accordingly.

No troops have landed on USSR territory.

The sea has turned red.

That's my word.



Push me harder and you will suffer irrecoverable losses.
Oh there are so many ways to break a man. So so many ways. Which, oh, which one do I choose?

D.E.U.S. News Network: ALL IS LOST
Today the USSR has taken more lives. The Luzon straight runs red with blood. All D.E.U.S. Forces in the area have been brutally murdered. 200,000 men have died. All retreating troops have been crushed, all D.E.U.S. navy forces have been sunk, All D.E.U.S. planes shot down. A great cry has gone up from Ysyry Paha. Every citizen of The Dragon Empire of United States has vowed to never forget this day. The war will be fought until every able-bodied person is dead on the ground. We will not spare the innocent of the USSR any longer. We will give them Hell.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

D.E.U.S. has announced total war on the USSR. If any ship, any plane, anything, be it civilian or not, is seen entering USSR space it will be shot down, blown up, and destroyed. Our mission is not to make the USSR pay for the lives of the Innocent anymore. It is the total destruction of the USSR.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So be it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


May we Destroy the USSR.

SS Propaganda Report: The Unyielding Mercy of the Silvai Forces

Location: Undisclosed Bunker, Batanes Island

In a chilling display of power and resolve, a live stream was broadcast across USSR-controlled television networks, showcasing the brutal interrogation of a captured Dragonian soldier. The broadcast was meant to send a clear message to any who dared to stand against the might of the USSR and its allies.

The Scene:

The stream begins with an SS medic standing in a dimly lit room, his expression calm and composed. Before him, a captured Dragonian soldier sits bound to a chair, defiant even in the face of overwhelming odds. The soldier’s uniform is tattered, and blood stains his face from the earlier battle, yet his eyes burn with a stubborn fire.

The medic speaks calmly, "You will tell us what we want to know."

The Dragonian soldier, despite his circumstances, sneers. "You think I’m afraid of you? The worst you can do is kill me."

Without missing a beat, the medic’s lips curl into a cold smile. "I do not grant death."

**The Interrogation:**

The medic turns and picks up a heavy hammer from a nearby table. Without any further warning, he swings it down onto the soldier's left shoulder. The sickening crack of bone echoes in the room as the Dragonian soldier grits his teeth, refusing to cry out.

"Tell me what I want to know," the medic demands.

The soldier's defiance remains, though his face is contorted in pain. "Never."

The medic’s expression remains unchanged as he brings the hammer down on the soldier’s right shoulder, another crack shattering the silence. The Dragonian gasps in agony, yet still, he remains silent.

"One more time," the medic says, his voice eerily calm.

When no answer comes, the hammer finds its mark again—this time, on the soldier’s left knee. The Dragonian screams, his resolve beginning to falter as the hammer strikes his right knee next, shattering it beyond repair.

The Dragonian is now barely conscious, slumped in the chair, pain radiating from every part of his broken body. But the medic isn't done. He grips the soldier's nose, twisting it before bringing the hammer down once more, crushing it in a swift, brutal movement.

Blood streams down the soldier's face, pooling at his feet. The medic, unfazed, leans in close, his breath cold against the soldier’s ear.

"You will speak," he says, as he methodically crushes the soldier’s ears, one by one.

The Dragonian’s world becomes a blur of pain and darkness, teetering on the edge of unconsciousness. But the medic has no intention of allowing him the mercy of passing out. He signals to two soldiers waiting nearby, who step forward with oxygen tanks.

"Keep him awake," the medic orders. The soldiers attach a mask to the Dragonian's face, forcing oxygen into his lungs, prolonging his agony.

The Dragonian sobs, the pain too much for his mind to bear. The once-defiant soldier is now reduced to a broken shell, his will shattered along with his body.

Finally, through the tears and gasps, he admits in a quivering voice, "I... I violated a Silvai woman... please, make it stop..."

The stream cuts out abruptly, leaving the viewers with a final image of the Dragonian soldier, broken and sobbing, a stark reminder of the price of defiance against the USSR. The broadcast serves not just as a warning, but as a testament to the ruthless efficiency of the Silvai forces, and the lengths they will go to in order to protect their people and exact justice.

The Kyrek Timez

Postby Kyrek » Wed Sep 04, 2024 1:27 pm

Welcome back to The Kyrek Timez! We have some HUGE news to cover today so lets get straight into it.

Drek Jayron Makes First Ever Public Appearance:

Everyone in Kyrek is abuzz, huge news about the leader or Kyrek coming out publicly for the first time ever! It is all anyone is talking about in Kyrek since before this, his face was never seen, even in battle he always covered his face. He is very humble for the leader of our great nation, the greatest in the world! News coverage is expected to be watched by everyone in Kyrek who has the ability to do so and cannot attend it in person. A nation holiday has been announced so everyone in Kyrek can see our great leader for the first time. He is expected to talk about the current state of Kyrek and how it might be improved. But being a man of few words, it is not expected that he will talk about foreign at all. The speech is going to take place in a few days, perhaps at the end of this month, September 2026. There will be extremely tight security and only people who have solid proof of being a Kyrekian will be allowed in, a lot of the area surrounding will be cleared and any who disobey will be shot on sight.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:-----------------
The Government has announced a mass program across the entirety of Kyrek which will make the ownership and training to use of guns for all citizens of Kyrek above the age of 10. Again, this is a nation announcement to all citizens of Kyrek. For the safety of the nation, the government has announced that all citizens above the age of 10 must be trained in the use of and own a gun.

Synodos Pipeline:

After recent private talks and discussions, with the leaders of the Synodos country/company, Kyrek and Synodos have agreed to build an oil pipeline from Kyrek, across the Atlantic Ocean, and into Synodos. As Synodos is awaiting TK's response for weather or not they can do it, Kyrek is getting ready for the massive project to take place.

Economy:

With the European theater of the war coming to a close, the Kyrekian economy is expected to make record gains after the meltdown a few days ago. Prices have been skyrocketing and many are having trouble getting food and other necessities. This is expected to only last a short while as the economy is going into shrinkflation, which is a good sign for prices and for all Kyrekians.

Ypres Front:

With the European theater of the World war coming to a close, Kyrek has offered a peace deal of alliance with the Ypres Front for the safety of Kyrek and The Ypres Front. Both nations being very close, it could be cause for a potential future war which no body wants. This is why the deal has been proposed, a response from the Yprian government is being awaited.

Weather:

There will be heavy Snow across all of Kyrek, just another regular day of weather.

Infrastructure

Reconstruction efforts are now in full swing, with billions of dollars of materials imported daily to the reconstruction of Larissa and the lower area of Synodos. Building materials are also being used to make refineries. 3 refineries are now halfway done, with 23 in construction, 12 expected to break ground within the next week. A total of 75 are planned to be in construction by the end of 2026. 35 will be devoted to gasoline production, 10 to Jet Fuel, 10 to diesel, and 15 to plastics and miscellaneous oil products. Stores and shops are reopening, and employment is reaching an all time high at 98.9 percent. The entirec country of 3.079 million people is devoted to rebuilding. 30% of jobs are in construction right now.

Stocks are expected to rise rapidly. Buy now.

Immigration Control

A total of 23,465 immigrants crossed the border today from TK, and a resounding 234,000 refugees arrived from the Theofantic States. More refugees are expected, and welcomed with an offer a care package (Starting bonus), 401k Retirement Plan, and work starting tomorrow.

Politics

NAP Signed with the Workers United.

Thessoloniki designated as the official capital. A corporate capital is being constructed.

International Affairs

~~~ Peace in Greece ~~~
Yesterday, General-Secretary Hiraki appeared on live television to celebrate the end of the war in Greece.
“Peace at last. Our delegates in Athens have worked hard for the past month, and one week ago were finally able to secure peace in the region. Do not listen to what the Karunethian leader, Trump, is telling his people, that he is the “victor” in this war. He may have kept Synodos around, but that was one of our goals as well, as well as keeping the SRC independent. Although he might have kept Synodos, we prevented him from rolling over the SRC, as he had aimed to do.
We will continue to protect the SRC. The SRC-Synodos border shall remain open to all, however, the recent Karunethian actions in Libnatsi do not sit well with us. We tried to protest diplomatically, but it was all over in a few hours, with around 120 thousand casualties.”


~~~ Kyrek Peace Offer ~~~
Yprian delegates have agreed to the Kyrekian alliance deal. Most Yprians have seen an alliance with Kyrek as advantageous, polls show, especially due to the Kyrekian economy and the fact that the Ypres Front still isn’t quite a major nation on the global stage. This alliance should bolster trade between the two nations, and should help both nations further their global interests.

~~~ Synodos & SRC ~~~
While there has been no official announcement regarding Synodosian stocks, many private Yprian companies (including several major ones) have announced that they have bought shares in the Synodosian conglomerates, with a total of around $25 billion.
In addition, we hope that Alexander Philip’s condition has improved, otherwise, we could send our Secretary’s Doctor.
Of the 12000 men present in the SRC, 2000 have started building a small military base with Yprian building resources, while 8500 of the rest have been sent home. The last 1500 have been distributing aid to the locals.
Any men who have any type of skills that could be remotely useful in rebuilding the SRC are welcome to come in, and will be rewarded handsomely. While rebuilding, we will be following total socialism, however, once the SRC is back on its feet, we will transition to market-based socialism.

~~~ Stransistria, TWU, & Xeola ~~~
The Ypres Front is joining the Einheitsfront. We have joined our socialist allies, hoping to form one cooperation forum for all member nations.
As for Xeola, we have been convinced to take action to protect Stransistria from the unjustified actions of its neighbor. Although we will only be sending 2000 soldiers, our major contribution will be in terms of equipment, as both combatting nations have very large populations but very small economies.
We will send:
  • 200 LS-244 tanks. Although these tanks were quite resilient in Greece, they may not be able to take full advantage of their 289 km/h top speed in the African jungles. However, their 90mm autocannons should still be quite effective.
  • 50 CSA-241 stealth fighters. These planes have also been combat-tested in Greece, and of the 50 we are sending, 30 have been modified to allow them to act as fighter-bombers as well, a role in which their stealth will be extremely helpful.
  • 300 other planes. These include 130 tactical bombers, 70 strategic bombers, 50 naval bombers, and 50 transports.
  • 120 artillery cannons. These will be split into fifty 105mm artillery guns, twenty 155mm artillery guns, thirty field mortars, and 20 self-propelled 155mm artillery tanks.
These will arrive by sea, within a day. The TWU has told us that all ships flying the Yprian flag will be allowed through the naval blockade surrounding Xeola.
To Stransistria, just a note. The 2000 men we are sending will primarily be training your troops to use our equipment, not directly participating in combat.

~~~ Quendell ~~~
This little country has shown itself to be quite resilient. With both Ypres Front and USSR aid, Quendell has rebuilt very quickly. With the government remaining strictly neutral, the Ypres Front has not requested any military or economic favors, and instead, after congratulating them on their rebuilding efforts, simply ask: What now?

~~~ Other Proposals ~~~
With peace in Greece, the government has turned to other matters.
We propose a Geneva convention.
(Text below, comment on things you want added or changed)
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_Fk ... sp=sharing

We also wish to establish a Global Unity Alliance (P.S, basically United Nations), as a council of nations with voting rights based on population and economic power.

Military Projects
The Ypres Front currently has four military projects.
~~~ Project LS ~~~
Although the LS project is the first military project the Ypres Front announced, it is still ongoing. The most recent development is the LS-2410, which is equipped with:
  • A remote turret. This means all the crew sits in the hull and the turret only houses machinery, allowing the turret to be much smaller while still allowing the crew to be safer.
  • A 120mm autoloaded cannon. While previous LS tanks mounted autocannons, which would have a better chance to hit their target at the high speeds that the tanks normally employed, the data from these previous tanks has allowed our R&D teams to calibrate our turret rotation mechanisms for much more accurate shooting at high speeds, eliminating the need for autocannons.
  • A hard-kill APS system. This is our first reloadable system of this type. The tanks has two explosive launchers at the top of the turret, and an integrated radar system. Any high-speed projectiles detected coming at the tank are shot at with one of the two, and then that one reloads while the other one takes over.
~~~ Project CSA ~~~
This project saw the birth of the CSA-241, which combines the armament, stealth, and radar of 5th gen aircraft with the agility and speed of 4th gen aircraft. Work has started on the CSA-242, which will bring better flight performance to the somewhat heavy CSA-241 airframe.
~~~ Project D-DAY ~~~
Project D-DAY has lead to even better fruits. Specialized destroyers and minesweepers, designed for shallow waters, have been designed. Both are designed with shallow drafts, and although this presents stability problems, they are quite wide and low to the water to counteract that.
~~~ Project Slingshot ~~~
Research into the possibility of a magnet powered anti-tank gun has progressed. A 120mm cannon has been revamped, and the concept of Newton’s Cradle (which we described in an earlier post), has been successfully applied to this cannon. Shots have reached 1806 m/s, which, while nothing too out of the ordinary, is still astonishing for something which is only in its first prototype.

Affairs closer to home

~~~ STC ~~~
(TSL Control could we get an update on the situation in the STC and Spacelandia pls?)

Refugees have been pouring into the Ypres Front from both the STC and Spacelandia, and although they have been extremely beneficial to government projects, the country can only take so much, and already there are murmurs of discontent amongst locals in the regions most affected by the crises.
As such, the Ypres Front has pushed the combating factions in the STC to settle their differences within the next 10 days (2 days irl). Should they fail to do so, we will take more stringent measures in insuring peace in the western hemisphere.

Opening of a Workers United Co-Op

Established September 22, 2026. Landing party of about 200 men arrived in Quito. The place was a beuatiful weave on synchronicity and efficiency, workers working together for the greater good, rather than promotion and money. But they were gettig paid. And they knew that. So off to work they went. They are formed into a mining co-op and sent to the Andes to mine on their new land.

30% of materials will go to TWU. The rest will be exported to Synodos. Expected resources: Copper, Gold, Silver, Zinc.

Weekly, 200 more members will arrive until the numbers reach 5,000. When the co-op grows enough, they may be granted more land or allowed to expand into other industries.

PIPE X

Across TK, a strip of land abut 50 feet wide has been designated at the PIPE X zone. 1,243 properties need to be purchased. 13 have already sealed the deal. Underwater sounding has been started to forge the best possible path in the Atlantic.

Economy

1 Refinery has finished production. 7 are more than halfway done. 30 are less than halfway done, with 6 expected to break ground next week. A total of 75 are planned. Synodosian port of Igomeunitsa is open for oil imports by Tanker.

33% of jobs are now in construction. Larissa is now habitable again and the rubble has been cleared. They are ruins no more, rather, a clean slate. A memorial is being planned for city center.

Refugees

The refugees keep flowing in at a constant rate. 300,000 arrive from Libnatsia this week.

Refugees have boosted the population from around 3.079 million to 3.5 million in two weeks.

Alexander Philip

Alexander's condition has worsened. His condition is now fatal, with 2 weeks to live. He has been notified on his country's success at making it to the global stage, and was noted to be proud that our countries could come together and make a UN and Halifax Convention.

UN

Synodosian Contractors have start to begin transportation to Sri Lanka to start construction on the new UN nation. It will be entirely governed by a council of those who are apart of the UN.

Sri Lanka was chosen over Tasmania as a more neutral location situated a fair distance from all major powers, following the rejection of the full surrender of the USSR due to a miscommunication error.
