ESTOCA AND ZAMASTAN BEGIN NORMALIZING RELATIONS IN JYAU SUMMIT


Image
Secretary of State Jessiah Vallotis speaks at the introduction of new talks held in Gutaai, Jyau between the Zamastanian and Estoca governments

TOFINO - The government of Estoca and the government of Zamastan are entering talks to mediate decades of diplomatic tensions between the two. With key diplomats meeting in a neutral environment at a exclusive conference in Gutaai, Jyau, Secretary of State Jessiah Vallotis announced that the Zamastan government would instantly install new diplomatic measures to ensure an Estoca presence at the embassy and consulate offices in Tofino.

"Our two nations are very different," Vallotis said in a bilateral press conference with Estoca's chief diplomat at the summit, Ambassador Ryetis Valien. "We have faith that through determination, devotion, and intent, we will grow closer to mending old wounds."

Secretary Vallotis acknowledged that the Estoca embassy and consulate offices in Tofino, which were closed in the 1970s amid raised tensions, are set to reopen at the end of May. The agreement comes as Estoca has opened numerous agreements with neighboring nations to normalize relations. The isolated and exclusive nation has a long and arduous history of standing alone diplomatically on the world stage, and critics of the Moreau administration's willingness to open talks say that the Estoca government is an oppressive and authoritarian one.

Part of the agreement in the talks to normalize relations ensures that Zamastan acknowledge Parabocan war crimes against the Estocan people in a conflict over a century ago, and that the Zamastanians encourage the Parabocan government to do the same. In the meantime, Estoca must also acknowledge any crimes they committed in the wars over sovereignty. Estoca is also set to lift restrictions on Zamastanian trade as Zamastan lifts their own tariffs.

Zamastan's government, as part of the acknowledgement for war crimes committed by Paraboca, will invest in a compensation fund for descendants of victims. The deal is being critiqued by many, who say Zamastan is giving up too much in a agreement that won't be beneficial in the long run.

"Zamastan didn't commit these crimes," said Congresswoman Harriet Banersford (BCP), "so we are not accountable to pay up. That's on the Parabocans, sure, but not us."

Supporters of the deal, however, point to a considerable concession that Estoca will have to give in retribution. Secretary Vallotis highlighted in the bilateral press conference that Estoca will be held to a standard of stepping down their own military buildup, which has recently worried military analysts.

"Estoca must not build up a standing army if they are truly seeking peace. We are bending when we clearly didn't have to, and we're doing so out of good will and a genuine concern for the world as a whole. Estoca cannot continue to strong arm in the process, or they will lose their desired agreements. Ambassador Valien understands this, and I'm sure the Estocan government does too."

PRESIDENT MOREAU ATTENDS FUNERAL OF KING ADRIAN LINDHOLM

President Atticus Moreau is in Viitaniemi for the State Funeral of the late Monarch of Caspiaa

VIITANIEMI - President Moreau attended the state funeral for the late King Adrian II of Caspiaa on Saturday, marking the first visit to the archipeligo nation for the President and his first state funeral abroad. Moreau paid respects at the Viitaniemi National Cathedral, where Adrian II is lying in state. The late king's son, Prince Oliver, is the heir presumptive, and met with Moreau during the ceremony.

"King Adrian was a significant leader, and I had the utmost respect for him," Moreau said to the press. "His majesty was a kind and generous man, and he was revered not only by the people of Caspiaa, but the people of the world. We have lost a true statesman and a true human being."

Adrian Lindholm the Second of Tõrnu passed away on Wednesday. He was the monarch of Caspiaa for 43 years. His wife, the Duchess Remy, also met with Moreau. Moreau continued to speak on his respect for the late monarch.

"I never had the opportunity to meet His Majesty," he said. "I always wished to, and I regret not coming to Caspiaa sooner to do so. I do remember witnessing His Majesty's arrival in Tofino in 1992. I watched his visit on the television, shaking hands with President Cassious Castovia. He was gleeming, just a fascinating figure. I am truly at a loss for words. It's not often that our world loses such a giant of respect."

WORLD CUP - ZAMASTAN BEATS SULIFA

Zamastan's national team is moving onto the semi-finals after beating the host nation in the World Cup

SULIFA - World Cup championship hopes are still alive as Zamastan beat the host nation of Sulifa in the quarterfinals on Wednesday. With a record setting scoring tournament for the Zamastanians thus far, Sulifa presented their toughest challenge yet, in a back and forth 1-1 tied game that went into a shootout, with Zamastan barely taking the win.

The heated match was the most watched World Cup game to date for Zamastanian audiences, who have clenched onto the furver of the event. Zamastan will face off against Jyau in the semi-finals, where they hope to advance to the championship to face either North Timeria or Durnstaal.

Sulifa's national team captain Saamir Noorani scored Sulifa's only goal in the 43rd minute, giving them the lead. Zamastan's Isaiah Ross scored the tying goal, and in overtime scored the penalty kick that gave Zamastan the win. The closeness of this battle has many worried, with bets for the semifinals significantly less-so in Zamastan's favor than it has previously been through the tournament so far. This was Sulifa's best ever showing in the World Cup, making it only two rounds short of the championship game.

President Tony Blanian is in Caspiaa to pay respects to the late King Adrian II, who passed away on Wednesday


VIITANIEMI, CASPIAA- President Tony Blanian made a state visit to the archipeligic nation of Caspiaa to pay respects to King Adrian Lindholm the Second, who passed away on Wednesday. At the Viitaniemi National Cathedral, Blanian observed the ceremonies and paid respects with a pat on the late King's draped casket.

"King Adrian was a titan," Blanian said. "I had the great honor to meet him in multiple diplomatic interactions, and I was always taken by his warmth and kindness."

King Adrian II, who reigned over Caspiaa for 43 years, passed away following a stint in the hospital from a heart attack. He leaves behind his wife, the Duchess Remy of Kandona, and four sons, the eldest of which, Prince Oliver, is slated to be crowned on Sunday at the conclusion of the funeral ceremonies.

Destroyer Arrives in Beresa, S.C.B., Amid Alecburgh Crisis
As Alecburgh's Government Prepares for Civil War, Emmiria Reinforces WEDA Allies

Image

BERESA - As Alecburgh's government prepares for a significant incursion into the self-declared republic of Cambria, Emmiria reinforced its WEDA Allies in Saint Croix and Bens by sending the destroyer ENWS Makhat to join the Zamastanian and [nation][nation]Albarine[/nation][/nation]an forces already present. The Makhat docked at Beresa Naval Base in the port city of Beresa in southern S.C.B. alongside the Zamastanian ZMS Guild and ZMS Shorthand and the Albarinean vessel ANV Auerbach. Additionally, 100 Emmirian troops landed at the base, increasing total WEDA forces present at around 900.

President Sulaiman has reinforced the S.C.B. government under President William Urskabau with the rapidly advancing tensions as Alecburgh's civil conflict turns to the worst. Following a string of terror attacks across the city of Aires in Alecburgh, Prime Minister Sparrow Creed has deployed forces to quash resistance from separatist forces. Sulaiman reportedly called the Prime Minister to urge her to stand down, but such efforts went unanswered.

Foreign Minister Naadir al-Shaikh is in Saint Elmenau, the S.C.B. capital, to discuss greater cooperation between Emmiria, S.C.B., and the WEDA organization. There are rumors swirling that talks are in the works to establish S.C.B. as a new WEDA member state, since Sulifa and Andaluni were recently included into the organization. The expanse of the organization is expected, as S.C.B. stands diplomatically isolated in its corner of the South Adula sub continent. The Trans Toyana Prosper Alliance and Southeastern International Adula Association are increasing in their militarization in the region, and foreign interference from Drambenburg and Beleroskov has resulted in S.C.B. turning to Zamastan, Albarine, and Emmiria for more direct relations.

EMMIRIA FALLS TO DRAMBENBURG IN WORLD CUP
World Cup Hopes Dashed as Emmiria Falls 1-0


(Backdated) -
SULIFA - Drambenburg clinched a victory from Emmiria in a close 1-0 defeat that left Emmiria's World Cup hopes in the dust. After defeating Qolaysia in the Group of 32, it had hoped to advance into the quarter-finals. However, intense defensive and offensive drives by Drambenburg in the much anticipated Group of 16 battle left Emmiria scrambling, and they were unable to answer Drambenburg's only goal for the entirety of the game.

"We tried our best," Muneer al-Edris said. "We let Emmiria down this time, but Drambenburg played excellently. We are honored to have played them. We will be back next year."

THE GRAN TELEA TIMES


ALLARD RESIGNS!

Image
Allard in 2019

GRAN TELEA - Today at 12 o'clock, President Allard has announced his resignation and will speak today at 3:30 O'clock. This is due to allegations of bribery and because he had clamped down on political freedom during his term. Because presidents can serve 3 terms and 4 years per term, he would be the first president to resign and the shortest serving president. Rumors say that both the Labour party and the Vice President disapprove of Mr. Allard. Both the chairman of the Labour Party and the Vice President has given statements. The Vice President said, "I am deeply disappointed in Étienne Allard. I really hate to say that about him but it's true. I'm glad he's stepping down as president." The Labour party said this, "The Labour Party is very disappointed in Étienne Allard. We are relieved that he has stepped down as President. We hope to see Vice President Zallandt take the oath."

WILL THE PROTESTS CONTINUE?

Image

GRAN TELEA - After the resignation of Etienne Allard, will we see the protests come to a stop? Protests have been going on for days now after it was discovered that Etienne Allard had allegations of bribery. Protesters called him corrupt, some called him a thief and others called him an authoritarian dictator. The main question is, when will we go back to normal?

Strategos Carne Adresses Foreign Caution
Image

ImageSHARE THIS: Image Image Image Image

Estocan Public News (
@PublicNewsBroadcast)
April 24th, 2021 | Aelial, Estoca


The Commonwealth has been in a precarious position diplomatically for over a decade now following the Paraboca'n domestic crisis in the 1900s, in which the Estocan government was found to have a large part in. Estocan economic practices within the region had destabilized several provinces on the border, and several minor insurgencies had popped up as a result. It was only recently that Zamastanian sanctions, levied to stop Estoca from continuing its predation on its rival, were lifted, and so hatred over the interference within the National Assembly is still high. Nevertheless, Strategos Carne has opened talks with the Zamastanian government to normalize diplomatic relations, fearing that if Zamastan does not have at least a more neutral opinion of the Commonwealth, than any military crisis could suddenly see Estoca invaded from all sides.

The Strategos met with several news outlets at a press conference two days ago and addressed the nation publicly about the situation, assuring the public that Estoca will be continuing to pursue its path of 'leading its own way', but that no nation can do so without the friendship of those sovereign states surrounding it, the list of which Paraboca was left out of. He also stated that though Estoca has long pursued isolationism, it would not do so any longer. Estoca will be pursuing relations with many nations in the future, not just Zamastan and the Slavic Union.

The Strategos also addressed several statements made by other foreign powers such as Emmiria, who's president stated that 'While we appreciate seeing the Estoca government seek betterment in international diplomacy, it is completely counter-productive to conduct such intense military buildups. Why flex their military if they are seeking peace? It makes no sense. We encourage the Estoca government to stand down and relinquish their nonsensical military buildup.' Zamastan has also issued statements of the same caliber, asking Estoca to end its military expansion. Strategos Carne issued his formal response at the end of the press conference.

"Though we can understand the eyes with which Emmiria and Zamastan see us, and though we understand the history that still tells a tale, you cannot expect to poke a hornet's nest, and not get stung. Our military expansions and improvements are not a sign of war to come, unless of course those nations that warn us intend to invade us. We have no quarrel with Emmiria, and seek an improvement of our relations with Zamastan. But if either of these nations are to poke the nest to get their honey, well, the whole nest is going to sting."

The Strategos' statement was taken by the public with pride, as Estoca is notorious for its capability to maintain its independence, even if against a power much stronger than it, as it fought off the Parabocan Empire in history twice, and the second time it was a decisive victory. There are still some, though, who are worried about the Strategos' statements on the matter, as they believe it may not be an assurance, but a direct threat.

New Timerian Education System
Image


ImageSHARE THIS: Image Image Image Image

Simi DeMourt (
@SDemourt)
April 24th, 2021 | Infinity, Timeria

Today the Department of Education will start the implementation of the New Timerian Education System. This plan has been in the work over the course of 2 years led by Secretary of Education Savannah Barton. Savannah Barton a former educator led the Department of Educations team to form a new system focused on the students. Secretary Barton started working on this project 5 years ago and was selected by President Raso to be the Secretary of Education. The new initiative's goals are to produce students that are prepared to handle the challenges of the 21st Century and drive Timeria forward.

The New Timerian Education System will nationalize public schools and universities across the country. The new system will also change the way schools operate and provide students with a voice in their education. One of the most radical changes is that High School and Middle School students now have the ability to elect their Principle. Students will also have a say in curriculum, staff hiring, and meals. More specialized schools will also be built around the country and schools in rural areas will receive increased resources to provide greater education for their students.

While Elementary students won't receive the same benefits there has been a major shift in the objective of primary education. Schools will now focus on more critical early childhood skills and work to support the expansion of the young mind. There will be more focus on establishing a healthy and developed mind to ensure children are developing their basic skills.

Schools will also see an increased reliance on technology in the classroom. Secretary Barton stated that "We want our students to be prepared for the importance technology will play on their lives in the future.” The new initiative will work to ensure every student has access to a computer. The Department of Education has also been working in close cooperation to increase connectivity across Timeria. President Raso has set a goal that by the end of the decade 95% of households in Timeria will have access to the internet.

Also starting with the initiative is the implementation of free public universities for most Timerians. This will build off of former President Håstad Affordable Timerian Tuition Program which started in 1995 and provide government subsidies to make higher education accessible to most Timerians. One change that stood out to most is the new study abroad graduation requirements. At the ceremony, Secretary Barton was asked what she hopes the New Timerian Education System will achieve she responded "I hope that it will help our young Timerian achieve more and be their best selves. I have 3 children myself that attend public school and I wouldn't support this plan if I didn't think it was in their best interest. When President Raso called me in to talk about the possibility of me become Secretary of Education I told her ' I've seen what needs to be done and that under me the Department would push a plan that would be in line with her Millennium Development Plan'... and I told her 'It'll be in line with your plan but it'll be for the students, for the youth, for the future of Timeria.' I let her know that my first duty is to the student of this country."

Osipovgrad Report- Pavlov backs up Estoca

Postby All Russian Peoples » Sat Apr 24, 2021 1:28 pm

Osipovgrad Report
Makhno Found Dead
Pavlov backs Estoca, questions Emmirian motives

April 24 2021

Osipovgrad- Vozhd Matvei Pavlov released an official statement in support of the Estocan government, Estoca has been in a precarious diplomatic position for well over a decade due to its role in the Parabocan diplomatic crisis of the 20th century.

Though relations between Zamastan and Esotca were recently stabilized, with the Estocan embassy being reopened, though they are still under pressure for their military buildup, which was criticized by Emmirian president Akram Sulaiman who said “While we appreciate seeing the Estoca government seek betterment in international diplomacy, it is completely counter-productive to conduct such intense military buildups. Why flex their military if they are seeking peace? It makes no sense. We encourage the Estoca government to stand down and relinquish their nonsensical military buildup”'. Pavlov dismissed such criticisms of the Union’s close ally, stating “Estoca is simply doing what they must to preserve their sovereignty, their military build up is simply a precaution, it is clear that Emmiria had other plans for Estoca than it’s current track.”

Such attacks against Emmiria are questionable considering the recent diplomatic crisis with Khaliq Nasr, but Pavlov refused to back down when asked by reporters on it, Pavlov also issued his support for Zamastanian reparations, saying “While it is true that Zamastan didn’t commit the Parabocan crimes they did put baseless sanctions on Estoca, heavily damaging it’s economy. Zamastan must make up for that lost economic growth”

MARLIJN ZALLANDT SWORN IN AS PRIME MINISTER


GRAN TELEA - Marlijn Zallandt has been sworn in, vowing to fix Beatavic by repealing certain laws that "go against Beatavician democracy." The first law that Zallandt will repeal is likely Sortition. Sortition, also called "Lottocracy" is the practice of electing public officials via random representative sample. This practice is credited for the election of many unpopular, often corrupt officials.

Is this the downfall of the Free Besmenian Citizen's Party?

Image

Frank Hille


Laitstadt - On April 24th at 3 p.m. (local time) a sound recording between the party chairman of the Free Besmenian Citizen's Party Frank Hille and some FBBP politicians was published on the Besmenian disclosure platform KeepDiscover.

The sound recording is about a meeting of the FBBP politicians Frank Hille (since 2016 party chairman of the FBBP and since 2016 Vice Prime Minister and Federal Minister of Finance), Jörg Tacker (since 2020 Federal Minister of Defense), and the Federal Chamber members Klaus Binkelmann and Lars Wagner whose voices are easy to recognize. In the audio recording, which lasts about 49 minutes, the politicians talked disparagingly about Prime Minister Theodor Sidemann, former President Sebastian Bergmann and former FBBP party leader and Prime Minister Laura Kummstein. Criticism was also triggered when Hille said that there was an idea to try to get advantages for the 2020 federal election with a small bribe.

KeepDiscover reported that the audio recording was submitted by an anonymous source who claimed that the audio recording was made in Hille's home in early 2020.

The sound recording showed indignation and anger in the Sidemann III cabinet and in the FBBP federal executive committee. Vice party chairman of the FBBP, Ralph von Neumann said: "This sound recording may have ruined the FBBP's image."

On April 25th, Hille and Tacker announced that they were stepping down from their political offices with immediate effect. As Hille's successor, the Federal Minister of the Interior Konrad Ferber (BVP) was, as a suggestion from Sidemann, appointed by President von Schilling as temporary vice prime minister. Since the release of the sound recording, there have been suspicions about the dissolution of the Sidemann III cabinet and new elections, especially since the FBBP is involved as a coalition partner alongside the GPB.


Sequel of the horror classic The Happy Cannibal Adventure in planning

THCA movie poster from the 1999 re-release


Laitstadt - The Besmenian horror film classic '' The Happy Cannibal Adenture '' (1967) by film maker Helmut Rommel is set to have a sequel after more than 55 years, according to the Flingor Studios. However, exact information is not yet available. So far it is only known that Hannes Lordia will act as the director and that the sequel is planned for 2023.

The Happy Canniball Adventure is based on the 1935 novel Forest Cannibale and received mixed reviews after its premire in 1967. Some found the film very good and admired the remarkable performance by the actors, while others found the film disturbing and too brutal. Despite the great success of the film, it was banned by the Besmenian Youth Commission in February 1968. The ban was lifted in 1999. In the same year the film was seen again in the cinemas and in 1999 it was the 8th most-watched film in Besmenia. Over the years, The Happy Cannibal Adventure has developed into a horror film classic with international admiration and is now considered as one of the best horror films ever made.

BAN PLACED ON COMMERCIAL TUNA FISHING


Image
Congress passed a sweeping ban on commercial tuna fishing

TOFINO - New measures passed by Congressional Hall on Sunday set in place a ban on commercial fishing for bluefin tuna. The new ban, which are partly in response to corporate bluefin tuna catch share programs in reducing bycatch, introduce strict no-catch limits on tuna, strict fines on tuna bycatch, introduce five zones of non-fishing regulation in the Toyana and Olympic Oceans, adjust management measures for two other areas, and change pelagic longline gear requirement in Horseshoe Bay.

The new regulations come as environmental and marine study organizations, as well as the Zamastan Marine Science Observation, released reports detailing the drastic worldwide decrease in marine biodiversity. A significant portion showed severe decreases in the bluefin tuna population, especially in regards to deepsea trawling and net fishing. According to ZMSO, the bluefin tuna population has dropped to 4% of its level from 1970.

The changes in regulation give fishermen using pelagic longlines access to new fishing areas originally closed to reduce the number of bluefin caught unintentionally. Under the new rules, longline fishermen in Zamastanian territorial fishing areas are also required to use weak hooks from January through June rather than year-round. This includes the time when bluefin tuna are abundant during spawning.

Regardless of where or when they fish, longline fishermen are still not allowed to target bluefin tuna. They can keep some caught unintentionally, but they have to stay within their individual allocation of the Zamastan bluefin quota. This allows them to fish for economically valuable species like swordfish and other tunas while protecting bluefin.

The measures are in part a response to the success of the Individual Bluefin Quota (IBQ) Program in reducing bluefin bycatch. Congressional Hall also designed the measures to help reverse a trend of underharvesting the Zamastan swordfish quota.

“The success of the IBQ Program has allowed us to simplify and streamline fishing management,” said Martin Onkinship, who leads the group responsible for managing bluefin in Zamastan. “With this rule, we are optimizing fishing opportunities for pelagic longline fishermen while continuing to manage and conserve bluefin tuna through the IBQ program and other management measures.”

Corporate fishing was at one point Zamastan's most profitable industry, but has been overshadowed in the last half century as seafood is shifting out of popularity not only domestically, but internationally. Still, corporations that profit in big-fish fishing, such as Unitrawl, have come out against Congressional Hall's decision, stating that they stand to lose major profits which will in turn hurt the Zamastanian economy.

WORLD CUP SEMI-FINALS | ROSS' LATE GOAL LIFTS WHITECAPS OVER JYAU

Zamastan's showing in the World Cup is proven as Whitecaps move to the championship

CUBAI - Zamastan's national team clinched yet another win in their World Cup bid, beating Jyau in the Semi-Finals to advance to the championship. In a thrilling 2-1 game, Isaiah Ross, the Whitecaps continuous top scorer and rising star, scored both goals for the Zamastanians.

Last year in Heimdal'ia, Zamastan's national team placed third in a match up with Tinten. They won their sixth and last World Cup in 2019, and are clearly amping up for another victory in Sulifa.

"Seven, here we come," forward striker Quaid Urto celebrated as the team ran off the field following the victory.

Isaiah Ross scored in the 84th minute to help the Whitecaps end their non-scoring streak in the long tie.

Russell Veiben chased down Ali Sanwar's pass and crossed it through the goalkeeper's legs to Ross, who smashed it home from close range.

Zamastan will face either Durnstaal or North Timeria in the finals. The Durnstaal-v-Timeria game will be held on Monday, 4/26.

A THIRD DESTROYER JOINS FORCES IN SOUTH ADULA

The ZMS Artego arrived at Beresa Naval Station, Beresa, Saint Croix and Bens

BERESA - The Zamastanian navy destroyer ZMS Artego has joined the contingent of nearly 1,200 WEDA forces who are stationed in the Beresa Naval Station in Saint Croix and Bens. The forces are in the region amid rapidly growing concerns about intensified Alecburgh military operations. The ZMS Guild and ZMS Shorthand, docked in Beresa alongside the Albarinean vessel ANV Auerbach and the Emmirian vessel ENVS Makhat, are part of a newly signed defense agreement between the WEDA powers and S.C.B.'s government under President William Urskabau.

The deployments come as Alecburgh's government considers military operations against separatists in the self-declared state of Cambria, after a terror attack claimed the lives of 23 civilians and injured hundreds more in the city of Aires. The self-declared Republic of Cambria, which announced their secession after Prime Minister Sparrow Creed was elected, has launched an intensive campaign of anti-Alecburghian government rhetoric. Their own declared Prime Minister, Jacque Boudreaux, is seen by many in the international community as an instigator.

However, Zamastanian foreign policy has increasingly been directed against the interests of the Alecburghian government. Their leaders, namely former-Prime Minister Benjamin Warren, Queen Diana of Kynnport, and now Prime Minister Creed have all been labeled as "unstable leaders" by moderators in the State Department. Repeated incidents of violence sparking up and civil conflict increasing due to their conduct has caused the State Department to time and time again label Alecburgh as a "failing state", and "authoritarian regime", and a "threat to the regional apparatus".

"We watch Alecburgh's volatile leadership closely at all times," said Secretary of State Jessiah Vallotis. "We're gravely worried about the impending sign of a civil war over the state of Luciano. Our direct motive is to protect the interests of our regional allies who may be placed in harm's way, such as Saint Croix and Bens and the Qolaysians. That is why we dispatched a contingent of troops to S.C.B. as a protective measure. Additionally, we are solely in the position of protecting our regional interests. Zamastanians in Alecburgh are being advised to return home or to other friendly nations. If a conflict breaks out over Luciano, we will not be able to ensure safety of Zamastanians in the region since a military response is the last option on the table for us."

President Moreau spoke to President Urskabau of S.C.B. on Wednesday, along with Albarine Chancellor Sadie Melhaven, as the two conducted a bilateral conference in Beresa.

"I gave President Urskabau ensurance that Zamastan stands by the people of Saint Croix and Bens in their defense and preservation of their sovereignty." Moreau went on to say "they have been threatened before, and we saw the response of the international community. It's evident that they want preservation and not conflict."

Moreau also reached out to Prime Minister Sparrow Creed of Alecburgh, advising him to practice restraint.

"The Prime Minister promised to bring change to his nation following months of turmoil and political strife, but so far he has brought the same agenda of violent response to violent action. There has not been nor ever has been indication of diplomacy in the conduct of Alecburghian leadrs. Prime Minister Creed, do not continue the mantled system your predecessors put in place. Implement change. Seek peace. Make your country better for all."

SCB Holds Manuever Drills With WEDA Support, While Creed Continues Down War Path
Urskabau responded to today's comments by Creed, calling her "inexperienced and unhinged"


Image

Saint Elmenau - President Urskabau oversaw military maneuver drills in the Croix Sea as Alecburgh's Prime Minister, Sparrow Creed, stepped up her rhetoric against the self-declared Republic of Cambria and belabored jabs against the WEDA forces are supporting SCB defense precautions.

The six ship SCB fleet, led by the flagship destroyer CBMV Belia, maneuvered alongside the Zamastanian ship ZMS Artega, Albarinean vessel ANV Auerbach, and the Emmirian vessel ENVS Makhat in waters restricted to Saint Croix and Bens. At the closest, the fleet came no closer to the shore than 50 kilometers off the coast of Kalkvia and Varzo in Alecburgh.

"Alecburgh has suffered much hardship," Uskabau said in a speech, "but much of this suffering was triggered through the inaction and irresponsible actions of their leaders. We sympathize with innocent lives who are being lost, while we also sympathize with those who want to break free from the hold of corrupt politicians. We sympathize with the plight of the Alecburgh government to protect its citizens, while we also sympathize with our citizens who have been placed in harms way by their recklessness."

Prime Minister Sparrow Creed, barely a month into her term, has stepped up rhetoric against separatist regions within Alecburgh, specifically the self-declared Republic of Cambria. Many politicians internationally have compared her to her successor, former-Prime Minister Benjamin Warren. In a speech, she stated "I don't want to be like Warren,"

Sparrow then targeted Zamastan's President Atticus Moreau for drawing the comparison, stating, "I haven't done anything to deserve the comparison Sir Moreau of Zamastan. Not only this, but sending troops and ships over, but not helping us in our struggle is a very rude move. It's shameful quite honestly."

Zamastanian, Albarinean, and Emmirian politicians have made clear that the ships in the region are purely for the protection of Saint Croix and Bens sovereignty. With the point consistently being made that previous actions by Alecburgh politicians have threatened SCB, especially in recent months with violent unrest and dangerous military buildup along the border, the precautions are being made with sweeping international unanimous support in favor of SCB's government over that of Alecburgh's.

Creed reached out to the international community for support in quelling the uprising, stating "we request that you help us, to deliver a quick and fast defeat to Boudreaux and Cambria if my last bid for peace is ignored." There are rumors swirling that Cyruda may be trying to assist the Alecburgh government, although there has been no official confirmation.

SCB recently signed a defense agreement with the governments of Zamastan, Albarine, and Emmiria. The recent agreement ensures a Zamastanian military presence in Saint Croix and Bens, and a detachment of Zamastanian naval ships, fighter jets, and bombers will be present in two bases in Saint Croix and Bens; one in the capital of Saint Elmenau, and the second in the southern city of Beresa.

In response to Creed's jabs against SCB's allies, Urskabau fired back in classic aggressive fashion, saying "Madam Prime Minister Creed is inexperienced and unhinged. Her actions will lead to even more bloodshed. Even now she refuses to seek diplomatic options to quell the crisis, instead pleading for international involvement to crush a rebellion spurred out of anger towards her very own government and governments previous."

CYRUDA NEWS MEDIA
2,000 TROOPS DEPLOY TO ALECBURGH

President Guiler Batemara signed off on an executive order that was later reinforced by both houses of the bicameral legislature in Byanmar to deploy 2,000 troops to neighboring Alecburgh amid growing tensions. Recent attacks by separatist groups throughout the country have left dozens of Alecburgh citizens dead, and Prime Minister Sparrow Creed requested international intervention.

While most nations are criticizing the Alecburghian Prime Minister for her stern and campout response to the crisis, Cyruda Defense Minister Viktor Bulat affirmed the response in an address.

"The Cyruda government and military are fully behind the Alecburghian operations to end terrorism within their borders. When attacks like this occur, it is their responsibility to stop them. We are deploying 2,000 total soldiers to join the Alecburgh military on their own ground, along with an escort of 4 naval vessels to be docked off the shore of Lucaino state and the self-declared Cambria republic. 18 fighter jets will participate in aerial missions wherever requested, largely resorted to reconnaissance."

The Cyrudan military has not seen direct action in nearly 50 years, and thus is not thoroughly experienced in combat. However, yearly drills with Alecburghian military partnerships and a collective community through SEIAA has allowed Cyruda's operations to garner some credibility. While Alecburgh's military has also not seen foreign conflict, they have had to work extensively to end uprisings within their own country.

The naval vessels participating in the deployment are the CNS Cruatorvm, CNS Neveaas, CNS Crait Rock, and the CNS Xrovat.

The deployment comes as the Croix Sea region becomes increasingly more militarized, with the Saint Croix and Bens government establishing preemptive defensive drills alongside ships of the Zamastan, Albarine, and Emmiria navies.

It is unclear what the extent of Cyrudan participation in the upcoming operations and deployment will be. Foreign Minister Mladen Dobric told reporters that "Cyruda always has had a close relationship with Alecburgh. We've helped them in the past, they've helped us, and our alliance has kept our corner of the region together. We are prepared to do anything necessary to continue this prosperous relationship."

Other SEIAA member states have ruled out participation in the operations that Prime Minister Sparrow Creed has hinted at, with Nebetia's President Highland threatening to pull out and work towards the disbanding of SEIAA should a conflict erupt in the region.

President Xi Jingyi Warns WEDA of Military Buildup In SCB

President Xi Jingyi of De Yuan warned that actions will be harsh if WEDA "crosses a red line"

SHANGHAN - President Xi Jingyi issued a stern warning against Zamastan, Albarine, and Emmiria as they conduct military drills alongside the Saint Croix and Bens navy in South Adula, operating as a clear counter to impending Alecburgh military operations against terrorists. With the Yuaneze-supported Alecburghian government on the brink of war with the self-declared Republic of Cambria, Xi Jingyi warned in an address to the nation on Monday that “the organizers of any provocations that threaten the fundamental interests of regional security will regret what they have done in a way that they have not regretted for a long time.”

Stating that thus far Shanghan has tempered its response to “unfriendly actions” by foreign nations and continues to seek healthy relations with these powers, Xi added, “We really do not want to burn bridges. But if someone interprets our good intentions as indifference or weakness and they themselves intend to burn or even blow up these bridges, they must know that Yuan's response will be asymmetric, rapid, and tough.”

As the Alecburgh situation unfolds, the international community is largely calling for Prime Minister Sparrow Creed to stand down her military forces. Shanghan, however, has acknowledged the operations as crucial to stopping the uptick in domestic violence committed by the terrorists in Cambria. Xi ordered six naval vessels to perform maneuvers past the Alecburgh and SCB coastlines to monitor the situation, and President Xi has reached out to PM Creed to offer a contingent of forces to support their government. It comes as Cyruda deploys 2,000 troops to support the Alecburgh government.

"While we don't always agree, we support a nation's right to protect its sovereignty," Xi said, "but Saint Croix and Bens is bending to imperialistic nations who want to impose their will on South Adula. They care not about the plight of the Alecburghians facing the threat of terrorists, they only care about their allegiances to allies. If they sit idly by as operations against terrorists begin, then so be it. We will be there to help, of course. But if WEDA continues to increase their presence militarily, if WEDA crosses a line, there will be harsh repercussions."

SAINT MARINA - Chancellor Sadie Melhaven sent her regards to the nation of Kossmil following the assassination of President Mikhail Kuznetsov. President Kuznetsov was Kossmil's head of state from 27 January 2021 till today, 27 April 2021.

"President Kuznetsov was a good politician and a greater man," Melhaven said in a statement. "He cared deeply for his country and for international relations. His loss is a deep cut for the country of Kossmil and the world as a whole. He will be missed dearly."

Melhaven decreed that the Albarine Embassy in Dabatta will observe a moment of silence and lower both the Kossmil and Albarine flags to half mast for the next month in honor of President Kuznetsov.

The assassination of the President is being investigated thoroughly. The President's assassin was captured and arrested. Albarine's government is offering support to the Kossmil government in the investigation.

Albarine Issues Warning Against Yuaneze Involvement in Alecburgh[/b]
As WEDA reinforces SCB in their self-defense, Yuan reinforces Alecburgh and Cyruda

Albarine's Foreign Ministry issued a stern warning to the government of De Yuan after President Xi Jingyi ordered forces to dock in and support Alecburgh as they prepare for war against the self-declared Republic of Cambria. Yuaneze and Cyruda have reinforced Alecburgh's government within the last few days, sending in troops and naval vessels. Yuan had warned WEDA about militarizing the region, which Albarine shot down in a stern statement.

"We are only in the region with minimal force to defend the sovereignty of our allies, Saint Croix and Bens," the report said. "We have only deployed five total ships across three navies. Yuan has deployed six. We have only deployed 600 troops across three armed forces, Yuan has deployed thousands. Who is the militarizing force here? We operate in defense of one nation, you operate in order to crush self determination. Cambria has committed atrocities, but Alecburgh's government has too. Recognize the hypocrisy, President Xi. The rest of the world certainly does."
OYE! I'm Albarine :)

Riot Declared in Alicent!

Birat News Network (
@BNN)
April 27th, 2021 | Alicent, Birat


Following the 2019 military coup conducted by the Birati Nationalist Party, which saw the Democratic regime of President Olok Vizhye toppled, unrest has erupted across Birat. The new president installed by the coup, President Sukhey Meidan, is widely unpopular and resented by many politicians within the National Senate, and many wish him out of power. Last week, President Meidan enacted a policy which saw all corporate assets of several major Birati companies absorbed into the government's own funds, and saw a curfew put in place to prevent protests. The Bloodmaker's Act, as its been named by the populous, was not voted on nor introduced before approval, but was instead enforced by the Birati Armed Forces following the creation of the policy.

In the major industrial center of Alicent, the past week has been filled with tense protests within the city streets, with tens of thousands of Birati taking to the streets to protest against the Bloodmaker's Act. Recently however, after police officers tear gassed a mass of protestors on Shuyov street when they approached too close to the city's police headquarters, the protests have begun turning violent. Several hundred protestors have been seen throwing stones at police officers, using baseball bats against officers and to break windows, graffiti marking overturned cars, and molotov cocktails being thrown at police formations.

This morning the protestors attacked the government administration building within the city and used cars to block off the exits from the plaza, tossing molotovs and stolen tear gas canisters into the plaza to drive police officers into the building. Police response has been heavy, with the entire city block locked off and riot police carrying both non-lethal and lethal weapons preventing the six hundred protestors besieging the building from escaping. Many more protestors have begun to increase the violence by burning cars and looting stores, recreational centers and police kiosks, with some even stealing non lethal guns and tear gas grenades from looted police kiosks across the city, using them to combat the police.

Police forces have appealed to the central government in Argograd for the military to step in and pacify the protests, but as Birat sits between two allies of Zamastan, it is afraid of accusations of firing on unarmed, legal protestors, or of being accused of human rights violations, and so has not yet acted. Casualties due to the riots have been counted at seven civilians dead, two hundred wounded. Four policemen dead, sixty wounded.

Gatostico Raises Minimum Wage



President Vincent Gatostico is set to sign an executive order to increase the minimum wage to $15.25 an hour, providing a pay bump to hundreds of thousands of workers. On Sunday, he announced the rise in the compensation workers will get from the $14.75 held for the past year.

"“Many of these low-income workers are the most vulnerable in workplaces," Gatostico said in Sunday's press conference. "Raising the minimum wage will bring equity and fairness for workers and make a big difference in the lives of thousands of Vitosians.”

Many critics, though, worry that minimum wage increases can raise unemployment levels because businesses often respond by laying off workers, reducing work hours or hiring less. Future increases to the minimum wage, starting in 2022, will be based on the rate of inflation to provide predictability going forward.

"I believe higher wages would lead to greater worker productivity," the prime minister responded. "Anybody who would dare fire somebody over this would lose out on many fantastic employees."












Bona Fide Housewives of Diarora Announces Cast Changes



Back in August, it was announced that controversial housewife, Zia Pera, quit the show, although it was later discovered months later that the producers had fired her for trying to play "home wrecker" and spreading lies to cause Lexi de Garo-Booth and her husband, Callum Booth, to divorce. Also recently, fan favourite and long time standing housewife, Carley Hinton-Rhoames, had left the franchise to focus on her career. While many celebrated Pera's departure, Hinton-Rhoames' choice to leave was met with outrage from fans. With two of the most dynamic housewives of the cast gone, who is left to fill their shoes?

Just last month, interior designer for the stars, Ava de Moa, had told fans that she was coming on for one last season. That means that she will be joining plastic surgeon, Farrah Tarneiro, fashion designer, Jade Veitao, and actress, Lexi de Garo-Booth, for her sixth and, unfortunately final, season. Creator and head producer of the franchise, Jamie de Calo, announced on Monday that there will be a total of seven housewives this upcoming season, which is currently filming. The names of the three were released this morning!

Entrepreneur and the CEO of lifestyle brand, BondLife, Kamilla Bond, was the first name to be dropped. Bond had joined the franchise in its very first season, bringing drunken antics and screaming matches for her first three seasons before calming down and delivering "hard truths" in her final season. Having left the franchise by choice in 2013, she has returned! The other two names were announced a few hours later, revealing tobe other former housewives like Abilia Seitas and Tilly Rae.

Abilia Seitas is an author and entrepreneur who owns an asset management company. A child at heart when she joined Season 4 in 2013, her playful nature and infamous fight with Zia at Jade's birthday party in 2015 made her a huge fan favourite. However, after Season 8, she was, infamously let go to bring aboard Lexi de Garo-Booth. Tilly Rae, whose real name is Matilda-Rae Sobo, is a Vitosian pop star who was on the show for its first six seasons, famously leaving by choice midway in 2014's Season 6 after an enormous altercation between her and the rest of the women on the show.

The newest season premieres May 10th on Noble. The link to the show's page can be found here. https://iiwiki.us/wiki/Bona_Fide_Housew ... itosium_TV)

Osipovgrad Report- Cambrian Attack

Osipovgrad Report
Pavlov Responds to Cambrian Attacks
April 27

Osipovgrad- Pavlov gave an official address on the recent Cambrian attacks before a crowd of grieving Slavic citizens, the attacks would kill Adam and Emiliya Shulov and their son David. Pavlov stated “This is a horrific and atrocious crime, this attack was the worst possible choice the Cambrians could’ve made. The Shulov’s will be avenged,the animals that did this will be punished. I guarantee all of you that. The Cambrian scum lost any chance of victory the second they decided to spill civilian blood.”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Attack on Military Outpost
Ledyanaya- A Slavic military outpost in the frigid Ledyanaya mountains was attacked recently, suspicions were first raised after the outpost failed to update the high command, a team was sent out to make contact, but when they reached the outpost they found the corpses of every single soldier assigned to the outpost, their throats slit and the outposts equipment and food stolen.

So far investigations have turned up no evidence, with no footprints or possible murder weapons being found, security cameras have proved useless, with the power having gone out prior to the attack.

These attacks are a part of a series of attacks on Slavic military outposts after the first few years, these attacks reigniting the urban legend of the Ledsatana, supposedly a demon that stalks the Ledyanaya region. The Slavic government has repeatedly denounced the urban legend, but it continues, especially among the Ledyanayan tribes.

MANDALAY, ALECBURGH - Four Quetanan citizens were among the more than 60 individuals killed in a brutal attack in the Alecburghian state of Mandalay yesterday. President Antonio Brafeo condemned the attack, which was reportedly committed by radical insurgents aligned with the self-declared Republic of Cambria.

"Today is a sad day for Quetana and of course the nation of Alecburgh. We send our condolences, and we condemn the Cambrian establishment for perpetrating such an atrocity."

The attack occurred on a tour bus in Mandalay. The names of the Quetanan victims are not being released until their next of kin is notified and agrees to such a release, but they consisted of a young couple, one man and one woman, as well as both of the man's parents.

Quetana has repeatedly condemned the Republic of Cambria for committing attacks against Alecburgh, but its official stance has been that the Alecburgh government continues to pursue radical responses that hinder any sense of negotiation. President Brafeo criticized Prime Minister Sparrow Creed for continuing conditions that led to such a violent action.

"The Prime Minister must recognize that the Alecburgh government clearly holds some of the blame. Continuous unrest, multiple declarations of secession, violent crackdowns, how can you be so deaf to the plight of those who are feeling oppressed by your government? This didn't start with you, but it has continued with you. Yes, the Cambrian government is an atrocious conductor of malintent, but the Alecburgh government response cannot be on par with the violence."

Quetana has been in support of the WEDA mission in the region to defend Saint Croix and Bens after months of outside threat. There is no plan to intervene in Alecburgh as they prepare for military operations against Cambria, but several Zamastan, Albarine, and Emmiria ships are present in SCB as a moderating and observing force. Meanwhile, international involvement in Alecburgh continues to grow with the governments of Cyruda and De Yuan both sending forces to reinforce the Alecburgh military.

VILANJA SENTINEL
PEACE RETAINED - MAJOR COMBAT OPERATIONS CONCLUDE IN W.C.
Nearly a month after the death of Frederick Armbar and the fall of Ivora, East Chanchajilla command says that major combat operations have ceased.


WEST CHANCHAJILLA - East Chanchajillan military officials have declared that "peace is being retained in West Chanchajilla," and that all major combat operations have concluded. The report, released by head general Juan Esposito of the Third Army, clarified that occupation stages were undergoing operation and that a few pockets of resistance by regime loyalists remained in the westernmost parts of the country. However, with the fall of the largest cities in West Chanchajilla, the killing of former-general secretary Frederick Armbar, and the captures of dozens of high profile regime leaders, East Chanchajillan officials clearly believe that the worst stage of the conflict is behind them.

Following Ivora's ultimate surrender and the death of Frederick Armbar in a multi-national operation, East Chanchajillan and Parabocan troops established major operations to start mopping up resistance and occupy former regime-held territory. Thanks to a major swell of help from rebel fighters who opposed Armbar's government, the occupation has not required the major surge of reinforcements that were initially expected. Zamastanian air force fighters continue to provide air assistance while Parabocan and East Chanchajillan fighters start establishing themselves with better positions along airbases captured from Armbar's forces.

President Gideon Boer is scheduled to visit Ivora and the troops in the city, as well as meet with crowds of recently liberated West Chanchajillans, on May 10th. The visit will mark the first time since the Chanchajillan Civil War that a Eastern leader will visit the West.

Decades of oppressive socialist authoritarian rule has left West Chanchajilla in deep ruin in terms of finances and cultural exposure, but there are already signs of international investment in the West to help build up their economy. East Chanchajillan investments from large corporations are already helping with resupplying and supplementing families impacted by the invasion, while Zamastanian companies are on standby to start investment opportunities within the country. Other governments, like Quetana, Emmiria, Alcarres, and even Drambenburg, have pledged to help better the lives of West Chanchajillans as the country recovers from nearly 100 years of oppression.
