IC: The GENA, or Global Entente of Nations and Alliances, is considered to be one of the world's first giga-alliance's, as well as the most successful attempt at a successor to the World Assembly. However, while being 14 Alliances Strong is very beneficial, the member nations of the GENA must be allowed to completely express themselves through free speech, and GENA affairs ought to be broadcast both publicly and internationally.

The news broadcasts and newspapers that are published here will usually describe the fruits from the trials and tribulations of the GENA, alongside other sport and political-related events, including crucial debates, sport matches, international relations, and etc.

2022 Francian Parliament elections: What the final polls show

As the 2022 general election begins tonight, final polls are being released by various news and polling organizations. They show a large landslide for the current governing coalition, especially with the Parti Social-Democrate, the current governing party. Under these new projections, the current governing coalition would gain an unheard of 59% majority, or 354 seats. A majority that large hasn’t happened in Francian history since the 1982 general election where there was a majority of 60%.


A results chart from the latest polls.

The new polls also show two parties gaining representation in Parliament for the first time: the Electeurs Libres, which advocate for decentralization and regional interests, as well as ensuring accessible voting, and the Parti Pirate, which advocates for copyright reduction, freedom of information, and green energy. If those two parties were to enter into a coalition, the Electeurs Libres would be on the fence, switching between progressive and conservative coalitions, while the Parti Pirate would likely align with progressive coalitions.

Overall, the 2022 election looks like a safe win for progressives in Francia.

GENA starts off with a bang!
-By Harold Rogers

The Global Entente of Nations and Alliances, or GENA, is now officially almost fully open for business, with a majority of events currently unfolding which are being deemed as very important.

First off, the GCN-KTO Cold War is now officially over, with one of the GENA's first acts being that of leading the entire world through a long reconstruction process. There are many nations that have been war-torn by both the GCN and the KTO that the GENA will have to fix in order to move on to a better future, with many GENA member nations already contributing over 15 million NSD to start a joint-fund as well as international operations meant to start this long reconstruction process.

Second off, the AFAASA, or Advocates for the Abolition and Against Slavery, are holding a democratic vote to become the 15th Alliance in the big family of Alliances that make up the GENA. If this vote reaches the required 55% majority, then GENA will become even stronger, and will be able to embrace an even faster period of rapid growth.

Finally, the ongoing war in Europe, in what was once Yugoslavia to be precise, is sparking off other events, including other conflicts in Europe and a Second inter-alliance political and economic campaign against the nation that is Zarnicovia nova. This is huge, especially if the GENA as an alliance decides to join in the war. Many GENA members have already decided to join, as well as GENA partner alliances such as the IHC, making the war and its related events truly impact Civil War Season in a very beneficial way. All that's left now is to wait and see which alliances are formed.

Hello Aursian People, I'm back. Many people, especially Janpian officials breathed a sigh of relief as they thought that they didn't have someone who'd make the people of Janpia turn up against them. Its very normal. In Janpia, there's no Freedom, no Democracy. They say Lemska proves their Free Speech. But her talking clearly says how much biased she is. I've suspisions that she gets bribed from the Janpian Government. Oh, we're talking about Janpia. Everyone's bribed and corrupt. Recently, there was a vote on whether AFAAS would join GENA or not. We would've accepted defeat in vote. But Janpia came and did the thing they do best. Corruption. They influenced the vote. Thats why the Merger has been called of between AFAAS and GENA. Janpians, man... you gotta stop being corrupt.

We were talking about GENA, I know, most of you probably know what GENA is. But its my duty as a journalist to inform you guys about everything. Everybody in Aursi knows about GCN. If you don't then you're living under a rock. Anyway, GCN lasted for 6 months. They brought Order, Peace and Democracy to this world where Undemocratic States like Janpia are trying to influence it. Nothing lasts forever. Thats why, in order to succeed GCN and the WA, Global Entente of Nations & Alliances has been created. Its called GENA in short.

A war has broke out in Europe. They compose of the Balkan Region, Ukraine and Belarus. The country has devided into several factions. Which has broken the unity of Slavacia. And of course, thats the reason why the Civil war started. The Aursian Government is trying to support the Government of Slavacia. The Government Forces have allied with Monarchist ones. The Government is continuously gaining lands everywhere in the country. Aursian Analysts predict the Victory of the Government and the Creation of a Constitutional Monarchy.

The GENA, in order to make the world a more peaceful place has decided to make KTO as an Economic Ally of GENA. They are rumored to have reached Economic, Trade Deals. We hope that KTO stop their one and only goal, "Contain GENA" and reach peace with us. The Yerevan Summit is being succesful in creating peace between the two power alliances.

I hope, I can be more active with you all. Goodbye. Joy Aursi.

GENA's first 5 days "have gone well" politicians state!
-By Adam Richards

The Global Entente of Nations and Alliances has done a lot in the last 5 days. The GENA not only intervened in the Slavacian Civil War, a major international turning point in which new conflicts and new alliances have started off, but has also passed merger policy reforms to introduce a worth-based system for future alliance mergers.

The GENA is also in the process of gaining a military force, securing a few diplomatic relationships with other alliances, such as the IHC, has passed an important joint funding bill in the wake of the conclusion of the GCN-KTO Cold War to help rebuild the war-torn nations impacted by the conflicts, and just recently succeeded in merging with the League of Independent States, bringing quite a lot of activity to the GENA by making the GENA now 15 Alliances Strong. The merger with LIS only happened due to a failure of a merger vote with the AFAASA, in which corruption of the highest level of AFAASA's leadership, as well as electoral fraud due to outside influences that come in the form of the Janpians and Aquarians, resulted in AFAASA harming its neutrality and becoming a part of KTO's sphere. However, the government believes that this is a good thing.

In a statement, the Marajarbian Government said that "AFAASA not joining the GENA and instead allying with the KTO is a good, decent thing. This is because unlike the corrupt in ULIBOR, AFAASA is actually more dedicated to freeing and helping slaves instead of doing nothing, meaning that the KTO is now forced to fight against slavery. The right to be free and have rights is important, and a major power helping out with that is huge for the world as a new era of peace and prosperity commence. However, the AFAASA is currently facing a slight infighting problem due to a strong anti-Lakan presence, which may cause a lot of trouble for the AFAASA and its members in the future. Meanwhile, the LIS joining the GENA, and allowing for the GENA to have the strength of 15 Alliances, is proving to be beneficial, attracting new recruits and old veterans from many past alliances to the GENA, and furthering its prosperity as a whole."

Good Morning, Emeraldians!
Breaking News came in from the national government reporting information about the polling results for the General Secretary.

Some may see the results as controversial and staged, but, nevertheless, it is real.
The IOE itself is a very democratic and socialist leaning country. Frankly, I like it!
But not everything is perfect here. The reelection of Valodymr Glaunhachev is seen
as a bad thing in some places in the IOE.
The poll results are below.

Written by Jakob Croxky, Junior Writer at The Emeraldian Journal.

[Southeast Marajarbia]

The Marajarbian Federation and the Global Entente of Nations and Alliances hereby commend the European Defense League, as well as the International Humanitarian Coalition regarding the actions of both in Zarnicovia. We are happy to see the failing far-right ANZUP be replaced by a new, shining, democratic republic that can aid the free world and GENA in creating a better future for all of mankind.

[Southeast Marajarbia]

The Marajarbian Government is currently setting up, alongside its GENA allies, a list of interesting goals to pursue for as long as the GENA stays active as an alliance. Among the goals, the most notable ones include more alliance acquisitions taking place to raise the number to at least 18 or 20 alliances, setting up
continued diplomatic relations with alliances and nations alike, opening up the GENA Outer Economic Zone and other trading programs for business to help grow the GENA economy to new heights, and official GENA participation in international conflicts or summits, such as a planned inter-alliance conference with many alliances large and small being orchestrated by the government of Mammoth city, or in a current, ongoing trade summit with the government of Erloane. Politicians expect that a majority of these goals are more than likely to mutually benefit the entirety of the growing international community as a whole, as well as attract new member nations to the GENA as a whole.

[Southeast Marajarbia]

The Marajarbian Government has threatened to expel Muqaddasia from the Global Entente of Nations and Alliances should it close the Suez Canal down. This is primarily due to the Suez being an important international trade route for most of the world, except for Marajarbia due to the Nobelian canal, among others being more favorable.

GENA Judiciary "Open for Business"
-By Harold Rogers

In order to be able to make sure that justice is properly served for violators of international law, the Global Entente of Nations has opened up its own courts, which have been made public so that court cases not only from the GENA, but from the international community as a whole could be heard. The court will specifically be used for the trials of war criminals, corrupt military officials, slave traders, and former government officials from nations around the world, including those defeated in a war that have proven to be a significant threat.

However, unlike the former United Liberation Organization, these trials shall be swift, unbiased, and only for those deemed to be legitimate international threats to overall peace, with little restrictions on who the trials are for and what the trials are about depending on the severity of the case. If the criminal offender(s) do not attend their cases, then, like ULIBOR, the criminals will be considered as defeated and punishments will be enforced upon the end of any trial. This is what is expected to be a huge move for the international community going forward, as wars have started to spread and cause more than enough damage and destruction.

[Southeast Marajarbia]

The Marajarbian Government has officially condemned any attempt at the revival of dead alliances such as the United Liberation Organization, citing that "If an alliance is dead, and there is sufficient evidence that makes it dead, such as the creation of a successor such as the IHC, then the alliance is dead". However, the Marajarbian Government is encouraging nations from the entire international community to instead join the International Humanitarian Coalition.

The IHC is known to be a far better attempt at a decent successor to the former United Liberation Organization, with not only strong ties to the GENA already having been established, but the strong stance on humanitarian affairs as well as a strong international political presence that is stronger than that of the former United Liberation Organization. So, the Marajarbian Government officially commends the International Humanitarian Organization and encourages nations large and small alike to join it and contribute to many good causes, such as international peacekeeping programs, today!

Leader Suffers Stroke, Vice takes Over
By Eric Huddle
Yesterday the President’s wife Ellane Villano walked into the President’s office to bring him the mail she had found at the White House door. But when she opened the door she noticed her husband on floor unconscious. She Immediately walked out side to find the nearest person with a phone. She ended up finding the Vice President(Terry Johnston) in his office just down the hall. When she told him that the President had had a stroke he picked up his phone and immediately called the Mammothian version of 911(22910).

Within minutes the ambulance was there and as fast as the ambulance got there Mr. Villano was at the E.R. A few hours later Ms. Villano and the Vice arrived at the hospital to see the state on Mr. Villano. He was alive but the doctors said he would be unable to govern for the next few months. The power of the office of the President have passed on to the Vice for the next six months and have his representative jobs he had been doing at GENA and IHC. And that is the latest news here in Mammoth City.

Plans for Sixteenth Alliance for GENA "In development"
-By Adam Richards

The Global Entente of Nations and Alliances continues to grow and prosper, with many experienced veteran members of past alliances joining back up with the GENA. Ever since the merger with the League of Independent States and the failed merger attempt with the Advocates for Abolition and Against Slavery, the GENA has grown, and the time for continued growth is expected to come very soon.

A sixteenth alliance potentially joining the GENA is under development, with the only candidate so far being one that has received a lot of recent development and is currently shaping itself up to be a major world power according to what has been publicly shared so far. This world power that is gaining influence is one that has currently taken a part and played a role in various overseas conflicts, and it is such a big alliance that keeps on growing that should a merger happen, would greatly improve and impact the current political atmosphere yet again. However, this is only a proposed merger, and hasn’t been fully developed nor confirmed by the time this article is seen in the public eyes on an international scale. By the time the merger preparations have been finalized is when more information will be revealed to the public, but the Marajarbian Government is open to discussing the guesses many governments throughout the world might think the sixteenth alliance will be.

Freedom’s Claws

By: Woodrow Turner

SM’s Lapdog Aursi

Ever since the Aursian civil war a state many have dubbed as “The Lapdog State” has risen through the ranks of the GENA, formerly GCN, to become SM’s yes man in affairs both domestic and international.

The Aursian state, a state almost like the Galapagos built by war and bloodshed. This time however unlike the Galapagos who would rule side by side with Janpia within the KTO the Aursians would choose a different path, one of submission and cooperation. The Lapdog State was first introduced during the Aursian Civil War where democratic, monarchist, and communist forces fought for control of the state and its people there. The Galapagos pre-occupied with other things didn’t participate in this war however many KTO members did intervene on the communists side thus putting them in a state of warfare against both democracy and monarchy alike. With modern warfare and superior weaponry the communist forces came out victorious and despite backlash from the civilian populace who still supported the “Idiot Emperor” also known as Aursia many were killed in suicide attacks against the well armed occupation force of both the KTO and then neutral nation of Aquaria. The communist government however fell due to incompetent leadership and unqualified occupation nations that refused to crack down on the growing resistance movement which would ultimately lead to the fall of the Communist Aursi and a fall of the last hope for Aursi.


After the communists fell all goodwill towards the KTO ended mostly due to the intervention and promoting of a communist republic. This led Aursi down the dark path of statehood within the KTO and under the dictatorship of Aursia the wrecked state would take its first steps down this path. Aursi started out as any state in the GCN, arrogant and unaware. They started out as a place for the bigwigs to meet and discuss which alliances to enslave next and a place that proposed laws on how to better strip away liberties of the people. There was nothing strange about them at the beginning, they had just seemed like another nation that would abandon the alliance within a day or two however there was something different about them and that was their complete obedience to anything SM did or said, not once have I heard a word of dissent against SM from Aursi and I’m beginning to think that we will never.

The only way to end the Lapdog state is through gunfire and missile barrages. The only reason the communists fell was the nations in charge of occupying the nation were to light on the rebels and didn’t have strong leadership to crush dissent wherever it rose. Now with a rising KTO and GENA on its deathbed soon we will complete what our allies failed long ago, the destruction of an Aursian state. Soon the treads of tanks and the flame of torches will be the only thing Aursians will see and hear for until the entire culture of submission is wiped from their grounds and a KTO flags flies over the capital while Aursia hangs under it.

Wow! Just Wow! I got this in my news feed. If you ask me, this is the biggest rubbish I've ever seen. The Newspaper's name is Freedom's Claws, where I've suspicion there's not even a single bit of freedom in Galapagos, there's just a warmongering Government who breaks every treaty which they were supposed to follow. They said we submitted and had cooperation with the Marajarbian Federation. I don't know how "Submit" and "Cooperation" is a Conjunction. Cooperation means what Galapagos did, side by side ruling. And Submit means to become a puppet state. Also, they insulted us by saying We're a Lapdog. The Journalist doesn't even know how to say things. He insulted Mrs. Aursia by calling her an idiot. Where everybody knows that the Journalist is an idiot himself. Suicide Attacks? The Government didn't send them. The Citizen did that on their own. Then the Incompentent Leadership of the Communist Party. That guy didn't even pass College I think. He got stoned the last time he came, he is currently in Janpia. And cracking down on resistance. That shouldn't be a thing said by a News Paper called Freedom's Claws.

GCN didn't "Enslave" Alliances. Every alliance had Democratic Votes, which resulted in merger. We are committed towards everything. We're not Galapagos that we'll change our minds everyday. One day you say you're fine. Next day you're breaking it. Aursi never disagreed with the Marajarbian Federation due to the similar mindset of these two nations.

Again, a Newspaper named Freedom's Claws shouldn't say to crack down on resistance. And you guys are doing the thing you do best. Warmongering. Hanging Aursia? Pretty sure she would kill everyone who tries to kill her. Or else she would suicide, but Nah, she's not going under KTO's flag.

GENA Sports Tournament now officially underway!

The Global Entente of Nations and Alliances is officially hosting its own internal sports tournament as a way to attract funding, tourism, and other economic and political benefits to many of the member nations in which the host cities reside. Many nations have agreed to host various sporting events, including soccer, baseball, and cricket, in many cities within the GENA's many member nations.

One such series of the aforementioned games is set to take place in Aurtumn, a city that, while extremely war-torn during the Aursian Civil War many years ago, did end up hosting the successful negotiations that ended the war. These sporting events would, ultimately, bring in enough income to help build Aurtumn and other cities into a status in which they can be considered built back better than before.

Overall, these internal sporting events are also expected to be an activity that benefits GENA as it commences to expand even further to sixteen alliances. It's because of a majority of each of these activities, summits, and overall events that the GENA plays a role in that is also why the GENA can continue to benefit from continued acquisitions of alliances.

At this moment ministry hasn´t provided any details on the trade deals, but we expect an official statement to be released soon.

Erloane Military Industries reveals a new prototype.

Erloane Military Industries announced that a new armored vehicle prototype has been created. EMI has revealed several pieces of information regarding this possible addition to Expedition Forces and Army arsenals. The M1A3 AGDS is an evolution of an old concept of mounting anti-aircraft cannons on a M1 Abrams MBT. Twin 50mm cannons with high rate of fire, 12 missile racks and a high-band 360° radar are a few of the vehicles features. As evidenced by the name and concept it is mounted on a M1A3 hull, but the turret has been replaced completely. MOD has expressed interest in testing this vehicle to improve AA And tank/infantry support capabilities of Erloanean forces. EMI has neither confirmed or denied that M1A3 AGDS systems will be sold abroad.

President of The Aursian Confederation recently released an statement on the rumors of strengthening ties with Janpia. He said, “Yes, our relation is not the same anymore. The Cold War between GCN and KTO has ended. We definitely want to strengthen ties with Janpia. But its a matter of great regret that there has been a war between Muqaddasia and Janpia. When the war ends, I and FM Christopher Henry want to meet the Janpian PM. Whether in homeland or foreignland. We want to secure trade deals and everything in order to improve both of our nations.”

Reconstruction efforts underway in multiple nations!
-By Adam Richards.

With the recent GENA victory against the KTO in what was the former GCN-KTO Cold War, in which the creation of the GENA coupled with ongoing peace negotiations ended the Cold War, many nations afflicted with the hard that the overall Cold War had caused, such as Muqaddasia, are being rebuilt to what they were before. Marajarbian Construction Companies are already on their respective ways to each and every nation that has been impacted by the conflict to conduct investigations, rebuild infrastructure and important facilities, such as housing, while also re-ensuring that every nation that has been impacted can become an active member of the entirety of the international community yet again!

[Southeast Marajarbia]

The Marajarbian Government has started to intervene in yet another war against Turkey. This time a series of unknown events have led to Turkey transforming into a communist nation that wishes to prevent the fledgling nation of Aegeonia from joining NATO.

NATO, as many know, was once an alliance that had a strong military grip that almost entirely resulted in frequent violations of what is known as national sovereignty, and is in part, one alliance that put the Janpians on the path towards becoming a superpower. NATO voted majority in favor of joining the Global Alliance in order to allow for the creation of the former Global Confederation of Nations, before being spun off almost completely due to outside pressure to allow for a new NATO to be formed and the old NATO's assets to be recycled in what is now the Global Entente of Nations and Alliances, an extremely large and influential alliance with attention from all walks of the entirety of the international community.

The federation has only intervened in order to attempt to secure peace once and for all in Southern Europe and the greater Mediterranean Theater. The Mediterranean has far too recently been subject to many conflicts, such as the recent Muqaddasi-Janpian war as well as the brutal Cypriot Civil War, and such an important maritime trade route is far too valuable to lose to internal or external threats. However, recent reports suggest that former rival to the GCN, known as the Kalisight Treaty Organization, has intervened in the conflict on the same side of the Marajarbian Federation, which has made many Marajarbian politicians believe that the only secure method of ensuring a long term peace would be to allow members of both sides, as well as various smaller alliances, to set up spheres of influence throughout the region.

Reconstruction of Mediterranean “going well”
-By Harold Rogers.

The reconstruction of the Mediterranean after the 4th Turkish War has commenced, with a very high effort being focused on rebuilding Muqaddasia as well as on keeping an eye on Turkey via the establishment of military bases.

Among certain projects, infrastructure such as railroads and ports are being built and/or repaired, and shelters alongside refugee camps are also being maintained and secured as homes are rebuilt and factories reopened. The Marajarbian Government has decided to use the opportunity to simply state the following:

“The many wars we have fought all over the Mediterranean have been brutal and subject to problems. These wars have led to outright chaos, and it is primarily the fault of the Kalisight Treaty Organization. While the KTO is no longer a rival in the eyes of the GENA, the KTO’s own aggression has resulted in a harsh downfall, and future generations ought to learn from the KTO’s mistakes to ensure that history ought to not be repeated. History has a lot of mistakes, but times change, especially thanks to Civil War Season. It’s these kinds of events which usually change the world for the better, with a Political Atmosphere already having been set.”
