Bureaucratic meddling has once again tarnished a prestigious school into obsoletion, especially one in the sport of tankery. Ooarai Academy located on the coast of the Western Pacifica province has been shut down by the department of education for one major reason press released information states. The main reason being that budget cuts in the education system meant that there had to be some setbacks. The main reason is supposedly understandable considering this entire year has caused financial struggle within the different departments of government. However, Ooarai is one of the more well funded schools compared to Anzio, another school up in Ishgar. The Gallagher Herald is speculating that the real reason why Ooarai is shutting down is an ongoing campaign by the current secretary of education, Peter Charles Patterson. He has publicly stated that he has a distaste for the sport of tankery and would like to see its sport shutdown in Cartoonia.
The sport of tankery has been a well established sport in Cartoonia since its conception in the 1960s. While other nations have adapted this sport before us, Cartoonia embraced it as a sport to help train young civilians who wish to go into the military. It is a way for young students to learn teamwork, leadership, and the science of tankery. Various Tankery teams have been established in almost all high schools and military academies across Cartoonia, with seven major sporting teams and the Cartoon Military Academy. There was supposed to be an eighth major sporting team, with Ooarai Academy working its way up from the lower ranks winning national championships last year. Ooarai has always been on top of lists of most academic successful schools in the nation, and their tankery team has been gaining recognition. Tankery has been under fire by the Secretary of Education for being what he quotes as “toxic-misogynist sport, an antiquated show of aggression, and a symbol of war and imperialism” although many have stated the opposite. He would also say that the sport “has taken no political stance” like other sports in Cartoonia and America, where he gives examples of great athletic teams taking all kinds of political statements. The student council of the school and the tankery team have protested against the closure. Chancellor Nigel Uno has not returned the comment in regards to whether he authorized the closure. We do not know if Oorai will come back, we don’t know if other schools will follow suit, but this is going to end badly. We all know that.

Analysis
Gerontius Cagliestra
Political Correspondent to Independent Hitmen
This is more than just a passing scandal for a government to endure. This has the potential to topple not only the government but the nation of Independent Hitmen as we know it.
The disclosure of documents that show the level of deep state corruption is almost unfathomable and is nothing short of cataclysmic for the United Isles government, and the existence of the state itself. Public confidence in the civil service of IH has gone from nothing more than nonchalant to outright revulsion. While it is individuals rather than bloc institutions that have been named as culprits, the effects on these institutions by virtue of their actions means that public bodies that represent the establishment are under fire.
How one even begins to unpick this story is unknown, the extent of the corruption is almost boundless but strangely without a form of central organisation. Implicated members of some of the lending banks in IH are seemingly in no way related to the exposure of deep rooted toxic leadership and rival power play in military leadership. However, there are links that all lead to government bodies and committees. For example, the tri-service heads of defence sit on defence briefings and committees with civil service heads, who will in turn report to their seniors how have been mentioned within the leaked information cache. Said senior members within this bureaucratic service will have similar meetings with subordinates who meet regularly with named corrupt investment bankers in the city. In that sense, the heads of the IH civil service know what is going on and will be acutely aware of the covered up corruption but apparently have little control over it.
The best description so far is that this deep state that had been revealed is a mish-mash of ‘boys clubs’ that are loosely affiliated to each other either directly or indirectly. Favours for favours and consolidation of power within these little bureaucratic empires clearly makes a mockery of what was perceived to be open government – and the people have wasted no time in demanding answers.
But some of these demands have taken a darker tone. The depth and scale of the corruption is beyond belief, to the point public confidence in the establishment has been effectively shattered. To come back from this will require massive changes, huge overhauls, to almost every facet to civilian life. Yet it is this notion that has got many more moderate critics of the state worried. A chilling term is doing the rounds in protests; chilling in the context of what has happened that history maybe repeating itself but right here in IH and on Stevid’s doorstep:
Revolution.
With it we have seen the red and black flags, splinter protests with a distinct and oft obvious anti-establishment vibe. These more radical elements have had a surge in support as they and the moderates want the same thing, albeit with a different way of achieving it. However, it is far too early to insinuate that social unrest will topple the government violently – but it would be naïve to dismiss it.
The ramifications of all of this are unknown, but the president has been omitted from any wrong doing so far. But that the revelation is on his watch will not help. But as is the case with any deep state conspiracy, an elected official such as he would find it difficult to enact change especially when corruption is so deep. It might be that he knew very well about it, but not the extent or even be in a position to make changes to end it.

It is my own joy, and the joy of many of our people, especially those who have placed their hopes in the cause of socialism, and in the greater cause of progress for all living things, that we see not only the success of a friend from abroad who has common ground with us but also the success of her land in the application and faith in the selection of leaders to take the place of those retiring from power. I personally welcome, as do many Solisians, the new Arch Bishop of Holy Marsh. Though we are a land quite different in many aspects, this does not mean that we can set them aside so that we may celebrate in the hope that the future we share with them shall be better. And for that future, we hope that we will be able to work well for it together with them.
To Arch Bishop Luboski, I wish the best. May the friendship between the Union and Holy Marsh be long-lasting.
Long live the alliance of the peoples! May we forever share the fruits of serenity, freedom, and happiness with our dear friends.

Vekta--This morning a spokesperson for the Department of State announced that the government was interested in reaching out to the Haize, Morridane and Mokan governments to pay reparations for damaged caused as a result of the Kessler Event. "At the time the shooting down of those satellites was seen as necessity to protect Coltarian lives and interests. But hind sight has shown that the attacks caused significant collateral damage. After much deliberation the Imperial States Alliance of Coltarin would like to apologize for the brashness of its actions and the damage that they have caused. We will also begin talks with other nations in the region to negotiate reparations for the parties affected by these actions " said the spokesperson.
The incident began with the destruction of four Haize satellites at the start of the annexation of Istegium. The event was made worse with a further strike by Imbrinium against the Haize satellite network, but the Coltarian Government continues to deny involvement in or prior knowledge of the attack. The announcement comes as a shock with the Coltarian Government repeatedly denying responsibility for much of the damage that occurred because of the attack. This action could be seen as an attempt by the Coltarians to improve relations with its neighbors and to ease regional tensions following the controversial military action. This story will be updated as needed.
