Statement by Secretary for Foreign Affairs and International Development Mr John Marcellus Mathieu on the security situation in South Covello
Antechamber of the Executive Hall, Palace of the Federation, Victoria, Port-des-Saints
HIS EXCELLENCY the Secretary: Bienvenue et bonsoir, mesdames et messieurs. De la part du Conseil fédéral des Républiques unies d’Omérique, j’adresse mon salut. Good evening and welcome, ladies and gentlemen. On behalf of the Federal Council of the United Republics of Omerica, I send greetings.
Merci beaucoup. Thank you very much for your patience and your presence here today. The Foreign Secretariat has been closely monitoring the political and security situation in the Republic of South Covello over the course of the recent presidential campaign. The incitements of the victorious presidential candidate Carter Redwin, most especially those of bigoted nature, have been of grave concern to Omericans in light of the upcoming World Cup qualification match between the South Covellan and Omerican national football teams in Riverview.
It is the steadfast view of Omericans that the rights of humanity are universal and that all people have the right to live in freedom from fear. The rhetoric of Mr Redwin ran directly counter to this right, evoking fear in vulnerable South Covellan communities and a worry that the liberated nation could relapse into the authoritarianism that so many South Covellans bravely shed their blood to overthrow. Numerous terrorist incidents incited by Mr Redwin’s rhetoric did not serve to alleviate any of these apprehensions, but rather only serving to spill the blood of hundreds of innocent souls.
The killing of Mr Redwin is a cause for immense concern in the estimation of Omericans. The Secretariat fears a grave deterioration of the security situation that may be caused by this political vacuum and the prospect of violent reprisals for this act. We urge calm and peace in this difficult moment and advise all parties to exercise caution and restraint. No further blood ought to be shed.
The Secretariat has earlier today issued an updated travel warning for South Covello, advising Omerican citizens to avoid any non-essential travel to the country until further notice, and have noted a heightened threat of terrorism and increasing potential for civil unrest as reasons for this update. All Omerican citizens currently present in South Covello should consider departing as soon as it is safe to do so and any Omerican citizens planning to travel to South Covello should reconsider.
We continue to advise Omerican citizens in South Covello to avoid partaking in political activities and to avoid demonstrations and other large gatherings. Omerican citizens should monitor local media for information on ongoing and upcoming demonstrations and follow the instructions of local authorities. Omerican citizens should also exercise increased precaution in government buildings, places of worship, transport hubs and public areas frequented by foreign visitors due to the heightened terrorism threat.
The Secretariat understands that the South Covellan Soccer Federation, the World Cup Committee and Omerican football supporters may have concerns about this warning and the possible implications for the qualification match due to be contested by South Covello and Omerica in Riverview. We have already communicated this warning to the United Republican Soccer Federation and understand that they are working to ensure the fixture can be honoured while ensuring the safety of Omerican supporters. The Secretariat will continue to monitor the situation in South Covello and will update the URSF and the public if there are any notable changes to the state of affairs.
The people of South Covello are in the thoughts and prayers of Omericans. We hope and pray that the security situation in South Covello improves and that this does not come at the expense of the fundamental civil rights that all people ought to enjoy.
Unfortunately, due to scheduling considerations, I will not be accepting questions at this time. Thank you for your cooperation and God bless.An official publication of the Omerican Federal Archives — Une publication officielle des Archives fédérales oméricaines

Northern Saltstead’s premier news sourceVOL. 124 NO. 30011 SHILLINGS & 0Proudly printed in Cherrygrove
OUR OPINION: At the rate things are going, Tlanx-Nulzk honestly should have stayed at Qastyr
The revolution the Qusma coach was supposed to oversee has completely failed to materialise, leaving Saltstead’s campaign dancing madly on the lip of a volcano
Ashwell — Poaching coaches from Qusmo has been a hot new trend recently and it’s not hard to see why. As soon as they débuted on the international scene, the proudly quirky nation was producing some great football, with the red-and-gold-clad team quickly rising up the ranks of both the World Cup and UICA rankings.
But it was surprisingly Saltstead that plucked the best of the bunch. A coach who had led Qastyr to reach far above and beyond what even the most optimistic observers expected, reaching two Champions’ Cup quarterfinals in a row and winning the praise of Galacticos. They’d made their name by coaxing out the best attacking and midfield talent they had at their disposal and leading offence-oriented teams to glory. In every way, Tlanx-Nulzk Hal was the opposite of everything Saltstead was: a dour, defence-oriented side that consistently knew how best to disappoint. But coming off the humiliation the Stallions suffered under the reign of the now-discredited Gay Ware, the Royal Saltsteadish Football Association decided that Saltstead’s identity as one of the bulwarks of Karelan football was unsustainable and saw Tlanx-Nulzk as the visionary who would forge Saltstead’s new path forward.
They were dead wrong.
No longer one-trick ponies (pun absolutely intended), the Stallions have a new tactical identity, but their identity as a team which habitually disappoints and underperforms has stuck to them like the world’s stickiest glue. AOCAF was nothing to write home about, where Saltstead were barely able to escape the group before being eliminated by Baker Park in a round of 16 match whose scoreline honestly flattered the Stallions. And in the qualifiers, despite being able to take a point off Baker Park on enemy turf and to despatch Eastfield Lodge, the Stallions have somehow managed to avoid winning against Tulize, Benjamin Mark or San Félix. While nominally undefeated, those three draws may as well have been losses for all the good they do the Stallions, who will almost certainly be spending the second half of the qualifying campaign in a desperate bid to cling to second.
From the results on the pitch, it’s almost as if Ware never left. Cobbling together a ragtag group of old-guard veterans who’ve been conditioned to play stubborn Karelan football and newbs who’ve been thrown straight into the fire has proven no better than the old status quo the RSFA were trying so desperately to change. We are not placing the blame on Tlanx-Nulzk’s shoulders—they proved themself a great head coach in Qusmo and have displayed an incredible sense of humour which has won some adoration among Saltsteaders—but rather on the shoulders of the RSFA, who have tried to change too much, too quickly. Saltstead’s football DNA has always been defensive and the higher-ups have hamfistedly tried to force a radical shift with uninspiring results.
The campaign can still be clawed back, but whatever happens between Baker Park and Libonesia in their upcoming match will leave Saltstead hanging on by threads. Baker Park would catapult themselves into a probably unassailable lead with victory, while Libonesia would leapfrog Saltstead if they could manage an upset; even Benjamin Mark could theoretically be in second by the end of matchday seven with a large enough win. Saltstead have already expended all margin of error with six matches still left on the calendar and Tlanx-Nulzk will have to keep a haphazard team cohesive for long enough to secure the top two spot that this nation has been desperately waiting for.
Saltstead need to be damn-near perfect from here on out if we want to live the dream of seeing our second World Cup finals appearance next year. Tulize, Benjamin Mark, Libonesia, Eastfield Lodge and San Félix all need to be outright defeated for Saltstead to secure at least those dreaded playoffs; to have a hope or prayer at automatic qualification, Baker Park need to screw up massively. Tlanx-Nulzk can still lead this team to that promised land, but at the rate things are going, that is simply not going to happen.
Unfortunately—as great as Tlanx-Nulzk is and as great as Saltstead can be—Tlanx-Nulzk is oil, whereas Saltstead is water: the two simply do not mix. The experiment has been interesting, but for the good of both Tlanx-Nulzk and Saltstead, the two need to part ways. ❧

Official government statement concerning the election & assassination of President-elect Cartin Redwin of South Covello & announcing the imposition of new immigration restrictions
Today, the government of the State of Qusmo & its people are united in shock with the citizens of South Covello over the events of the past twenty-four hours, which have seen Carter Redwin win that nation’s presidential election before being assassinated minutes later that evening.
Of course, President-elect Redwin was the democratically-elected leader of his country, & any deliberate killing, whether for political purposes or otherwise, must be condemned in the strongest terms. However, this government cannot stand by & pretend that President-elect Redwin was a noble figure or one who would have governed as a good president for his people. His vile screeds were often overtly racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamophobic, hateful, & bigoted, & he called upon his supporters to engage in violence against his political opponents of the kind that befell him on the night he won South Covello’s presidential election.
Moreover, President-elect Redwin stated in no uncertain terms during his victory speech, after being announced the winner of the election, that he would dissolve the Legislature of South Covello. In fact, President-elect Redwin announced that he would rule South Covello not as a democratically-elected president, serving for a single term until seeking a new mandate from his voters in the form of an election, but as a dictator, serving until he resigned or died, spurning the will of his own people.
President-elect Redwin’s imminent attempts at seizing total control of South Covello is deeply troubling to all in the international community, most especially given that South Covello emerged only a few years ago from the scourge of Gregism by holding its first democratic elections. It seems as though the spectres of Gregism & of autocracy yet haunt South Covello. Most troubling is that a new Gregist-style despot was not forced upon them; in fact, South Covellan voters elected him, with a majority of the votes cast.
Unfortunately, Pantsvoq kujz Narodiq Qusma views President-elect Redwin’s election victory & subsequent assassaination not as aberrations, but as frightening reminders of the harsh political realities governing much of the Multiverse. Given that South Covello elected a candidate whose candidacy was based almost solely upon hatred, bigotry, & oppression; given that South Covellan voters voluntarily chose to abandon their own democracy, which they had only newly won at such tremendous cost; & given that political divisions have grown so toxic in the country that a victorious political candidate could be assassinated while delivering his victory speech, our government has determined that South Covello may not be sufficiently prepared for political self-determination.
We view the example of South Covello as an especially stark example of a generally politically immature Multiverse. Countries across the Multiverse are now faced with the question of whether to allow migrants from South Covello & other nations into their own borders, as refugees or otherwise. Unfortunately, however their mode of entry or the circumstances surrounding their migration, migrants from any gender-based society are inherently inclined towards prejudice, violence, & oppression, of which South Covello is only one of many manifest modern examples, & we cannot allow Qusmo - the Multiverse’s final shining city upon a hill - to be sullied by those who are inseparably bound to frighteningly regressive & dangerous views of society.
These migrants’ circumstances may seem unfortunate, but this government will never allow Qusmo to be a country where despots, bigots, or murderers are allowed to run amok. It must now be clear to all Qusmi’y that this country may not take chances with those of inferior societies, cultures, or backgrounds; as such, Pantsvoq kujz Narodiq Qusma is officially announcing that, effective immediately, no further immigration into Qusmo shall be allowed, with the exception of Qusma citizens, indefinitely, until such time as Pantsvoq kujz Narodiq Qusma ascertains that non-Qusma immigration would no longer pose a national security threat. With this announcement, we are confident that all Qusmi’y may finally rest at ease, secure in the knowledge that their government shall never allow their country to be overrun by those which might have otherwise polluted it.

We may be bureaucratic at times, but we're not a censorship. With the AI in charge it'll move even faster.
For normal countries, maybe. But Zwangzug have been wary of interdimensional travel ever since the incident with the hush-up and the wink-wink.
Even granting the highly unlikely circumstance that some incident in the distant past involving the Holy Empire had sufficiently spooked Zwangzug people that they wanted to go to great lengths to avoid a repeat, the only people who could possibly have been involved are footballers. Or announcers, maybe, from the very first teams. And you know they didn't have enough pull over the government to change its laws!
Maybe so. But I wouldn't hold your breath.
Who are you, anyway? You simming an alternate qualifiers?
Just another fan (: and I'm mostly here for the cutscenes. Look, it's Mark Tupper!
