Rebels Fight in Geratu and Port Charlotte



Image
Rebel forces reached Geratu seven hours after Kannapian soldiers were deployed. The city is being battled for fiercely. 20,000 Kannapian soldiers are facing an estimated 64,000 rebels. The city is being attacked by home made bombs the rebels seem to have a large quantity of. The rebels seem to be aiming to conquer the northern half of the city before even considering advancing into the southern half of the city. The Kannapian army has pulled back into the southern half of the city and gunfire can be heard across the city.

Amy Anderetti is in southern Geratu right now and is reporting to us what she saw when was in northern Geratu. "Hello, yes, I am Amy Anderetti and I am standing in front of the post office in southern Geratu. I was in northern Geratu just about twelve minutes ago before we were forced to flee to southern Geratu for safety by the Kannapian military. The rebels, however, did not seem to try to hurt us. Screams could be heard across the area though. It was a common sight to see Kannapian soldiers pushing northward and being attacked by hidden rebel fighters. The rebels seem to have been planning this for a long time. There is no Presbyterian church left standing in northern Geratu, they seem to be burning them all down in anger at the Presbyterians in government positions and they seem to be attacking Presbyterians. All the Presbyterian people are being evacuated from southern Geratu and the churches are being guarded by troops. It is believed that there is about 60,000 Presbyterians behind enemy lines in northern Geratu. While we were in the northern part of the city, we saw rebels shooting and killing civilians that we believe to be Presbyterians. As of right now, we do not know how many of these people are still alive in the northern part of the city, but every so often we see one running into our side of the city, and they are welcomed and added to the evacuating people."

Reports are also coming from across the nation as Presbyterian people are being targeted across Kannap. The known death total so far is 1,230 Presbyterians and we cannot be sure whether or not this is accurate but we are certain this number is only going to rise. The Kannapian military is mobilizing troops to decide what to do, meanwhile the government continues to insist that they will not negotiate with the rebel traitors.

Premier Jeremy Andersson is now making an Address to the Nation: "People of Kannap, this is a defining moment in our history as to how we treat our citizens and what freedoms they can have. Our government currently stands as a government that promotes freedom and the Presbyterian church has members of their congregation in our government. They have the freedom to have political positions and we will not revoke their freedom to do so. We will not negotiate with these rebels and we demand that they cease their actions against the government immediately. Citizens near the combat zones should evacuate immediately, especially if members of the Presbyterian church of Kannap. Citizens that are in the vicinity of the rebel area should not be concerned if airplanes fly overhead, this is just a scheduled practice flight of these planes. They will not attack the rebel forces and the rebel forces have no equipment to attack the aircraft."

Kannapian Troops in Royale Gather Presbyterians in Churches


Presbyterian citizens in the city of Royale are currently being gathered into their churches by the Kannapian army. We do not know the strategy behind these actions. We assume that the people are being relocated to their churches to be told evacuation plans. There are an estimated 600,000 Presbyterians in the city of Royale and about 1,000 Presbyterian churches in the city.

Kannapian Troops Slaughter Presbyterians



The army of Kannap has turned against the Presbyterian Kannapians living in the nation. This is a major turn of events as rebels have been enlisted into the Kannapian army for their duty in slaughtering Kannapian Presbyterians. These events began last week in Royale, when 600,000 Presbyterians were gathered into their churches for supposed meetings to discuss evacuation procedures. These churches were then burned down with their congregations within them. 1,000 churches and 600,000 Presbyterians in Royale have been slaughtered. Nationwide, it is believed that there have been deaths of nearly four million Presbyterians and that nearly 15,000 Presbyterian churches have been destroyed. Presbyterian citizens are trying to flee Kannap, but border soldiers are killing any fleeing civilians they see, deeming them traitors or Presbyterians. Civilians that are not Presbyterian have been known to help in the slaughtering of the Presbyterians in Kannap.

The Premier of Kannap and the other leaders of the nation have fortified the capital and are permitting the conflict against the Presbyterians. The Premier of the nation made the following address to the nation yesterday: "We, the people of Kannap, must understand that the churches and the government must remain separate in their respective aspects. The Presbyterians were bribing and working their way into the government of our nation and they are not allowed to do such a thing. This is the only way to assure that the Presbyterians do not gain power in our government and that they do not take over the government through a show of force. I commend all citizens and troops that are assisting in safety of our government and preventing the anarchy that would be caused by the religious beliefs of the Presbyterians should they ever rule our nation. We are assuring that Kannap lasts on for all eternity and that the Presbyterians cannot take control of the government. Thank you for all those loyal to the Kannapian ideal."

Silvioni Chancellor Defeated in Second Confidence Challenge


On Wednesday, Silvioni Chancellor Alecia Moravun failed to obtain a simple majority of the votes in the Senate's unprecedented second vote of confidence in the Chancellor's leadership. In a slim 109-91 vote, the Chancellor was effectively ousted from office. As per Silvion's Constitution, the Chancellor has no more than one week from the day of the vote to leave office. Chancellor Moravun is only the second Chancellor in Silvioni history to be successfully ousted by a confidence vote and the first one since the removal of the scandal-plagued Jacin Berin in 1957.

Moravun, whose handling of the Predum Debt Crisis has been widely criticized, has been openly resistant to implementing the Keynesian provisions of COSPN's Solidarity Act which passed the General Assembly in July of 2014 electing instead to press forward with her agenda of large scale austerity measures, many of which, opponents say, are not in line with the goals of the Solidarity Act. When an audit from the Silvioni Office of the Internal Counsel found in September of last year that her government's austerity measures violated the guidelines of the Solidarity Act by which all COSPN nations in recession had to abide, Moravun faced her first confidence challenge in the Senate, which she narrowly won in a 106-94 vote. Since then, however, moderates in her National Alliance Party (NAP) as well as the bulk of the opposition Labor and Relief Party (LRP) have found the Chancellor's illegal austerity cuts too much to bear, public opinion polls showing a scant 36% of Silvionis in favor of the government's policies.

Markus Kurmin, Moravun's Vice Chancellor, will assume the Chancellorship upon the final departure of his former boss, though there are strong rumors that Marik Sotur, Leader of the Opposition, will press for an early election in an effort to wrest the chancellorship from the NAP's 16 year-old grip.

Today's historic vote also marks the epicenter of international ripples as well, many of them paradoxically troubling for Repulaea, the champion behind the Solidarity Act's policies. Though the relationship between pro-Solidarity President Alexa Trent and pro-austerity Chancellor Moravun had been icy for the past several months, Repulaea relied heavily on the Moravun government to remain committed to an unpopular and costly postwar occupation of East Gavra. With the leadership of the NAP in question, so too is budget-strapped Silvion's commitment to JCAG, the coalition overseeing the postwar reconstruction of the Gavran region.

"One thing is totally certain," said Markus Kurmin, "Tonight is an historic night. We must now make things right with the people."

All members of the coming Sotur government have yet to make any public statements regarding the potential for policy change regarding the economy and only offered their gratitude to outgoing Chancellor Moravun in a joint statement for her "unparalleled dedication to public service, even when the odds were stacked against her."

Congress Confirms Christine Maxen as Minister of Social Welfare


Wednesday, Congress voted 402-248, almost exactly on party lines, to confirm Chrstine Maxen as Minister of Social Welfare. The narrow vote was seen largely as a repudiation of the administration by Conservatives who are united in steadfast opposition to President Alexa Trent's creation of the new Ministry of Social Welfare by executive fiat, seen by some in the right wing camp as illegitimate.

As the first ever head of the brand new ministry, Christine Maxen, who headed President Tannas' 2011-2012 transition team and served as a senior domestic policy advisor under both Presidents Tannas and Trent, will have a mountainous challenge ahead of her. The brand new agency, speedily constructed in record time, is facing budgetary shortfalls and logistical obstacles as subsidiary agencies such as the Public Welfare Commission (PWC), the Social Insurance and Pension Commission (SIPC) and the Commission on Insurance for the Aged and Disabled (CIAD) fight to juggle demands of their beneficiaries and those of the bureaucratic transition.

Congressional Conservatives, however, are hardening their rhetoric against the administration which many say has gone too far.

"It's an extralegal power grab by a Liberal big-government, high spending president who seeks to omit Congress from the decision-making process in this country," said a press release from the office of Congressman Jacen Durus (C-AD), the Minority Leader.

Many in Congress who supported the confirmation and the establishment of Repulaea's newest ministry voiced their optimism for the future and wished Maxen the best of luck in her new position.

"I think this is progress," said Congresswoman Janika Layles (L-TE), "We have a consolidated social welfare program that will cut costs in the long run and streamline the process. Ms. Maxen will, I'm sure, do a marvelous job in her new role."

The Coupe d'Esquarium!
The Derman National Team leaves for Michillies.

Image
The Derman National Team's plane after takeoff from Derman City International Airport, en route to Michillies for the IV Coupe d'Esquarium.


Yesterday the Derman National Football Team left the Derman Iles to fly all the way to Michillies to participate in the IV Coupe d'Esquarium, the most prestigious sports tournament in all of Esquarium. They left with the blessing of president Darwin Connor who told them to "...try your best and make your nation proud...". The team was lucky to even be able to be accepted into the tournament. The spot was the 40th, the last one, which was supposed to go to the nation of Faureia but were disqualified due to it being discovered that some of the players had brought steroids. The spot was given to the Derman Iles, who rushed their team in, without steroids.

In total 40 countries are taking part in the beautiful nation of Michillies. It works on an elimination system where the teams will be divided into eight groups of five and each team will play every other team in their group once. At the end of the group stage, the winners and runners-up of each group advance to the Round of 16. A country would be awarded three points for a win, one for a draw and head-to-head results come before overall records when ranking tied teams. A losing gives a nation no points.

President Darwin Connor told the people not to get their hopes up too high. "We will almost certainly not win." He said on national radio. "But our team will go down with a fight, and the world will be impressed with their determination. If they win, we cheer them." He said. "And if they lose, we cheer them." Darwin Connor could not have stated any better the feelings felt by all true Derman Team fans. This is Derman Television, thanks for listening.

We win the first game!
Dermans defeat carolina 1-0 in Michillies.

Image
Derman Goalie Vinnsent Arial watches the game from his side.


This afternoon in Michillies the Derman National Football Team defeated the team of Carolina to a score of 1-0. The game was played at the Còlòssïo Nacional, Ravenna, Christiana in the north of the country. Our single goal was scored by Forward Fredrick Simon, with an assist by Captain and also forward Richard Weston. The goal was scored 45 minutes and 36 seconds into the game, in the second half. The Derman Team, after intense practice for several days, traveled to the Còlòssïo Nacional, Ravenna, Christiana for the first match between the Derman Iles and minor team Carolina, whom the Derman Team manager Ivan Righy said "we will probably defeat them without much trouble." He kept his word, but just by a single goal. After the game there were celebrations in the capital of Derman City; albeit small ones, which included fireworks and a small parade.

The 1st half of the match was relatively uneventful. Carolinas team tried repeatedly to force their way to the Derman Net, but the Derman defense was too strong, and they only had a relatively small number of shots on net. However, the Derman team also rarely held the ball long enough to make a large attack, and the game remained scoreless. At 18:42, Derman player Jackson Poleiar tackled a Carolina player too roughly, and was given a yellow card. The Carolina free kick got to the net, but was caught by goaltender Vinnsent Arial. Little else of mention happened in the 1st half.

45 minutes and 36 seconds into the game, in the second half, captain Richard Weston was running up the right side of the field with the ball. He dodged one defender, but was almost surrounded, and made a high pass to the other forward Fredrick Simon, in front of the net. Fredrick, after catching the ball with his chest, fired it at the top-left side of the net, and it went in, giving the Dermans a lead of one goal. The Carolinans fought hard but were unable to make a comeback after that, and at 90:00, the end of the game, the Derman team charged off in victory. This victory gives the Derman team 3 points in the group stage. Meanwhile, Francilie defeated Yamea 2-1, which makes Francilie and the Derman Iles in a tie with 3 points each. Our next game is against Yamea, which we should probably win again. This had been DTV sports, keep watching for our coverage of the Coupe d'esquarium.

SPORT | Zuropean Qualification
2014-15 Zuropean Qualification


Tuesday, March 31, 2015

Zurope is a continent well-known for its many diverse cultures within fifty-four unique countries and its natural beauty which can be seen firsthand all across the region. But most of all, Zurope is know for its love of sport. Every year between June and July, the Union of Regional Football Associations (URFA) organizes the URFA Regional Cup which is hosted by a country voted upon by representatives of the 54 member associations. This year Zitru was voted to host the coveted tournament, and it will be the first time that twenty-four countries have ever competed in the tournament.

All 54 member associations go through a qualification process between September and March before each Regional Cup, with the members seeded into pots and drawn into groups to play each other group participant once. At the end of qualification, the top two teams from each group advance straight to the final tournament while the third-placed teams are ranked, with the top ranked team entering the final tournament and the remaining teams contesting the two-legged playoffs. The group winners of this year’s qualification phase were the Legenlands, Belgiem, Nakyrozia, Teremult, Flynnerane, Chungchilla, Rossia, Croetia and Portugol. This marked the first time that Teremult qualified for a URFA tournament, and they improved the milestone even more by topping a group including Avantia, Gaamorreja and Gerelia - a tough task for any national team.

In Group A we saw the Legenlands come out on top followed by the Szek Republic, while Zerek advanced to the playoffs. Belgiem won Group B, followed closely by Boznia and Herzegovina in a three point gap, with Lasanco grabbing a playoff place. Group C was dominated by winners Nakyrozia who were followed by Ukrana, while Slovakea managed a place in the playoffs over the Antalyian Republic via a two point gap. Group D, which turned out to be the most entertaining of the groups, saw Teremult dominate with Avantia placing second and Gerelia boasting a place in the playoffs in an attempt to earn their place in their fourth consecutive Regional Cup since they failed to qualify between 2007 and 2011. Flynnerane easily won Group E winning every game, with Suitzerland coming a close second and Slovenea bagging their place in the playoffs.

A strong Veneco side topped Group F, three points above second-placed Chungchilla, with Ruomana just scraping a place in the playoffs over the Terulas on goal difference. Group G turned out to be the most entertaining group yet as the top three teams finished equal on ten points - Rossia first, Plaizh Avantia second, and Palmbukia advancing to the final tournament for the second time in their history after being ranked first out of the third-placed teams. Croetia won Group H on goal difference followed closely by Cahrolle, while Dzukeland earned a place in the playoffs. Group I was won by Portugol who faced little to no opposition, finishing five points ahead of second-placed Ruskara, and eight ahead of Serbeja who advanced to the playoffs.

Jachtlekaar contenders for Champions League spots


Saturday, April 4, 2015

Fifth-placed Jachtlekaar are currently among the seven contenders for Zitru’s four URFA Champions League berths, alongside Raedburg, Balsak, Dynamo Sportaka, Tweakavant, Mortoge and Rockvale. Alexis Rodríguez’s side possesses plenty of talent and in-form players who could pose a threat in Zurope’s premier club competition, particularly Jacht’s front duo of Alexis Suárez and Adrian Reüse who have shared seventeen goals between them since late December. The two caused a particular upset when they both netted in Jachtlekaar’s 2-1 home win over league leaders Raedburg, canceling out Däko’s equalizer. The question has been asked: could Rodríguez’s side be contenders for the 2015-16 URFA Champions League?

Image

action against Raedburg earlier
this season

The answer to the question is a simple yes, but it takes much more explaining to prove exactly why the yellow and blacks could contest the coveted Champions League. The first factor to take into account is their run of form, with Jachtlekaar currently standing unbeaten since October 18 in a run of twenty NSL matches - 11 wins and 9 draws, hauling a total of forty-two points in their league campaign. Their last defeat was October 5 at the hands of Dynamo Sportaka, going down 2-0 at the Dynamo Stadium. Since then, however, they have retained a perfect record. A second factor is their two prolific strikers, who have over a decade of their footballing career left: 21-year old Zitran Adrian Reüse and 23-year old Palmbukian Alexis Suárez. Since joining the club in January, Suárez has scored in almost every match he has played. Along with his club tally, the Palmbukian ace netted four of Palmbukia’s six goals in their 2015 Regional Cup qualifying campaign, and scored both goals in Palmbukia’s 2-0 win over Rossia which ensured they qualified for the cup for just the second time.

Thirdly, Jachtlekaar are contesting a domestic league alongside some of Zurope’s best clubs. The best of those, Raedburg and Balsak, Rodriguez’s side have retained a 1-2-1 record against this season. In the opening match of the season, Jachtlekaar were beat 3-0 by Raedburg but bounced back early in 2015 to claim all three points in a 2-1 win. Against Balsak, Jachtlekaar have claimed two out of a possible six points with 2-2 and 1-1 draws respectively. Jacht have also earned points against Dynamo Sportaka, Tweakavant, Mortoge and Rockvale. The fourth and final point to consider is that Jachtlekaar’s roster is made up of some of Zitru’s finest youth talent and experienced players including the likes of 22-year old goalkeeper Dako Värnak who wears the number 1 shirt, 19-year old midfielder Adrian Gözeln who wears number 7, 19-year old Edin Jesë who wears number 16, and 32-year old Zitran veteran Adrian Kezhnov who wears shirt number 23.

Should Alexis Rodríguez’s team find themselves among the top four come the end of the season, they’ll be up against plenty of world-class clubs and players, as well as new URFA members Teremult and Flynnerane. Should all remain similar, Jachtlekaar could face Fueleha from Teremult and Bergarek United and Bergarek City of Flynnerane in their 2015-16 URFA Champions League campaign, which could make things far more entertaining for Zuropean football fans all across the world, and make the race for the Champions League title even more the interesting. At the moment, however, Jachtlekaar stand fifth in the National Soccer League with a strong sixty-six points, just two behind Tweakavant who occupy the fourth Champions League berth for entry into the playoff round.

We advance to the round of 16!
Dermans to play Britanno to advance.

Image
Derman Manager Ivan Righy during a press conference in Michillies.

The Derman team, in their game against Francilie, only managed to get a tie, much to the disappointing of fans and players. However, that was all they needed to advance to the round of 16 as the winner of group B. But the next game(s) will not be so easy. Our next game, against Brittano, is was predicted to be a failure by RTMondial, a news program in Michillies. However, manager Ivan Righy is not so pessimistic. "Our teams are roughly the same in strength." He said in a press conference in Carthage, Michillies. "But we have the unique advantage of being more rested. We just had a laid-back game, where we were only looking for a tie anyway, and after that was our bye day. Our players are rested and ready to face our opponents. However, we must not underestimate our opponents. Our predicted failure by RTMondial is enough for me to tell our players to be on their guard."

In other news, straight from the capital of Derman City, president Darwin Connor has announced that due to the unimaginable success of the Derman team, should the Derman team defeat the Brittanos the Republic of Derman Iles will send a bid to host the 5th coupe d'Esquarium later on in the year. While many, especially the Nationalists see this as a waste of money in an already economically struggling economy, Darwin said that the amount of tourism this would bring would counter balance this by a wide margin. "Think of the thousands of tourists crowding our stadiums, who eat our restaurant's food and sleep in our hotels. Millions would be spent on our country and, after all, we would get a few more shinny new stadiums. However, we are nowhere near that yet. For now, let's focus on the IV coupe in Michillies."

The pressure is building on the defensive Derman team to do well in the tournament. However, we must remember that this is our premier in international football, and we can't have our hopes too high. Remember, most of us didn't think we would pass the group stage. Britanno is a formidable foe, and our team may struggle to secure victory against them. But who knows what will happen in the future. Our team just might surprise us. This has been DTV sports, come back for all the latest coverage of the IV coupe d'Esquarium. Who knows, maybe we'll also cover the V coupe d'Esquarium in the Derman Iles. Thanks for listening.

Two Kannapian Ships Sink; Investigation into Possible Terrorism



At around noon today, two Kannapian ships mysteriously sank. The first ship was reported as sinking at 10:59AM on Tuesday, July 7th. The Kannapian coastal guard received a transmission from the captain's room of the ship. The transmission was short and seemed to cut out quickly, though the coastal guard reports to us that the message received was "Mayday, mayday, all ships in area, this is the KRS Logan Rolaine and we are going under. I repeat, we are goi." It is believed that the backup generators supplying power to the communication systems were submerged, causing the communications to cease. The Kannapian coastal guard immediately dispatched one ship to access the situation, as it could simply be a false alarm scenario.

At around 11:16AM, the Kannapian coastal guard patrol craft, KSG Faithful announced that they were coming up on the scene of the supposedly sinking ship and were about ten nautical miles away from the ship. Faithful never made another transmission to the Kannapian coastal guard ship 80 miles away. A Kannapian air guard helicopter was dispatched from the mainland to access the situation. Two photos were retrieved by the helicopter, confirming the sinking of the two boats at around 11:45AM.

At about 12:34PM, the Logan Rolaine had completely sunk. Of the 1,500 passengers on board, only 178 had made it off the ship. Of the 300 crew on board, none had made it off the ship. We have spoken with a few of the survivors and they all have given the same witness account. The survivors all say that there was a loud boom and the ship shuddered. Some survivors say that they watched as lifeboats and passengers were thrown from the center of the ship along with large pieces of the ship. The survivors say alarms sounded for two minutes before the ship lost power entirely, they rushed to the lifeboats that were still on the side of the ship and started to crowd in. They say the crew could not manage to get enough passengers to the lifeboats. They watched from their lifeboats as the crew worked hard and continued to drop lifeboats, the were surprised to learn most of the lifeboats didn't have people in them. They believe that the crew must have been confused and scared during the madness. The witness accounts make it sound like this was a terrorist attack, investigators say. The investigation will continue and the person or people behind this will be found and dealt with appropriately.

As for the Kannapian coastal guard patrol craft, they were sunk at the same location as the cruise ship. Two crew members of the 20 man crew survived the sinking of the patrol craft. They say that they were picking up passengers from the water who were still alive. They say that hundreds of people were swimming around in the water, panicking. One of the crew members, Lieutenant Marshal Silvers, stated that they had picked up 120 passengers, the most that their patrol craft would carry. Silvers says that he was standing at the top of the staircase that was leading to the lower deck of the ship. He recalls hearing another crew member yell, "he's got a bomb," and recalls hearing many passengers scream. That is all Silvers remembers about the events in the boat. His next memory is laying in the lifeboat with Corporal Megan Stanwilkes, who pulled him from the water. She says that he was the only survivor, besides her, from the sinking of the boat. This leads investigators to believe that there was a terrorist that survived the initial explosion on the cruise ship and got onto the patrol craft. Investigators are looking into this harder to find out if this was a solo job or if there was many other terrorists involved.

Prime Minister Simeon Brozhav dead of apparent suicide at 50

The crisis in Ocidenia takes a rapid, shocking and most likely fatal turn, as the remains of Prime Minister Simeon Brozhav had been discovered with a gunshot wound to the head at the State Palace, Paradisa. The injury is suspected to be self-inflicted.


Image


Shocking news from the capital city Paradisa. Although it was expected that this ongoing crisis in our country might claim the lives of major political figures and known people in Ocidenia, it seemed to be unlikely to the nation that this particular person might end up one of the victims. It has just been reported from the State Palace that the Prime Minister of Ocidenia Simeon Brozhav, the head of state, has been found dead in his office in the main government headquarters in Paradisa. The approximate time of the discovery is 8:45 a.m Central Standard Time, while not even an approximate time of death is still unknown.

The Prime Minister’s body was discovered by his personal secretary, who has called the emergency services, immediately after the shocking sighting. The arrived medical teams did not take any action upon their arrival however, as the Prime Minister’s remains were found in a pool of blood with a transparent gunshot wound in the head, while the body temperature had already dropped significantly, leading to the assumption that the death had occurred hours or even days before the discovery of the remains. The Paradisa Police Department (PPD) has carried out an early examination of the Prime Minister’s office, searching for potential signs of a break-in into the State Palace as the initial belief was that Prime Minister Brozhav had been assassinated. However, despite their best attempts, the officers had failed to discover any signs of a break-in or even a potential fight having occurred between the Prime Minister and his assassin/assassins. On the contrary, the Prime Minister’s office was said to be tidy. After examining the area closer, the officers had discovered a handgun right next to the Prime Minister’s remains, leading to an arising of another theory that Prime Minister Brozhav’s death was allegedly self-inflicted or, in other words, a suicide. According to the PPD, currently all possible theories are open as the initial course of the event has yet to be discovered. At the moment, no new information is available, as a special investigation has been launched by the authorities to discover what has truly lead to the death of Prime Minister Simeon Brozhav. Currently, concerns plague the State Palace over the safe transportation of the remains of Prime Minister Simeon Brozhav to a mortuary, due to the ongoing unrest in the capital city. It is initially believed that the body would have to even be transported to a mortuary outside the country.

In honor of Prime Minister Simeon Brozhav, the national flags all across the country will be either lowered or will have black ribbon placed over them. The administration has announced that Ocidenia would be placed in a state of national mourning for a not-yet-determined amount of time. Spokesmen for the government have announced that searches among the national diplomats and officers are currently being conducted in pursuit of finding a right temporary replacement Prime Minister Simeon Brozhav, as a provisional head of state. We will keep you informed as these unfortunate events develop.

Left and Above: Beaches and pools are filled with tourists and locals alike, who are looking to take advantage of the sunnier weather. Above Inset: Clubs are a popular way for youth to stay out of the heat while spending time with friends. Police are reminding teens and bar owners that underage drinking may carry severe penalties.

MARIS BEACH -- With the summer months entering full swing, the Federation Weather Bureau has predicted warmer than usual temperatures across the region, along with drier weather for the next few months. With increasing ambulance calls related to the heat, officials are reminding citizens to stay hydrated while outdoors, and to refrain from spending too much time under the sun. “It’s absolutely fine to be enjoying the great weather we have, for a change, but we mustn’t forget the dangers that this sunny weather can also bring,” says Janet Doel, the spokesperson for the Maris Beach Regional Health Authority. Some aren’t heeding officials’ warnings however. “I’ve spent the last 8 hours outdoors, and I feel great!” says Carter Jones, who assured The Mediete Journal that his red tint and peeling skin was nothing unusual. Surveys show those who are most at risk for sunburn at the least likely to realize it themselves, while outdoors.

Tourists, like locals, express their surprise at the unexpected weather patterns across the nation. “Back home, it only gets as hot as about 28 degrees,” says Mark Smith, a tourist from The Nation of Ceneria. “Here, it's a bloomin' 29 degrees, and in the shade too! Hell can't be any worse than this!” Another, who would only identify as Jorgi, expresses a similar opinion. “I come from Cobrastan, many hot summer! I visit Lolomz, many hot summer! But no like this!” According to recent studies, tourists, along with teenagers, are among the most at-risk groups for heatstroke during the summer months.

Not everyone appeared too concerned about the heat, however, despite the dire warnings issued by health and weather officials alike. “I don’t think it’s too bad,” says Nilin C.Wells. “If you don’t try to memorize every moment you’re sweating, you might just forget about it”. So far more than a dozen people have been hospitalized due to the rising temperatures, which is expected to peak at around 31°C to 32°C mid August. In addition, many provincial governments have issued province-wide bans on open fires, to reduce the risk of wildfires. Visit http://j.mp/TheMedieteJournal to see if your local area is affected.

RELATED: TOURISM INCREASE With the warmer weather making outdoor experiences available to more people, tourism levels across the nation have seen significant rises compared the the same period last year. The hotter, drier weather across the region is driving travellers away from tropical regions, and further up north to destinations with less extreme heat. Experts say it doesn’t take an expert to realize the reasoning behind the shift in tourist preferences this year ... MORE ARTICLES

Brozhav takes his own life fearing to face trial for his crimes

In order to avoid punishment for his crimes, while following orders of Bethlehem, the self-proclaimed Prime Minister of Ocidenia and an agent of the Luziycan CIA Simeon Brozhav commits suicide, while hiding from opposition at the State Palace


Image


Today is a glorious day in Ocidenia. The state media has reported this morning that the tyrant installed into power by the CIA of Luziyca that was Simeon Brozhav, is no more. Out of fear of being prosecuted for his crimes against Ocidenia and the international community, the puppet dictator of Bethlehem taken his own life, at least that is the most likely theory of what had happened, as an investigation has been launched to figure out what has commenced in the State Palace, Paradisa indeed. Nevertheless, it does not matter what truly happened, as the most important thing is that “Prime Minister” Simeon Brozhav is no more. At the moment, the remaining puppet administration is trying to keep the unrest in Paradisa and the rest of Ocidenia under control, while desperately attempting to choose a replacement for Brozhav. Although the government might still have hopes that this process might save their regime from collapsing, we all know the truth that control over the country is slipping out of the hands of the Luziycan-backed regime, as the people of Ocidenia are reclaiming their land from foreign imposters. Now, is the hottest stage of this revolution and the nation must not give up if we want to get our freedom back.

Ocidenians celebrate the outing of Prime Minister Simeon Brozhav

The nation has openly shown its reaction to the demise of Prime Minister Simeon Brozhav, viewing it as liberation from a tyrant and not loss of its beloved leader


Image


The reaction of the Ocidenian people to the recently reported death of our country’s leader - Prime Minister Simeon Brozhav, has shocked many among the administration. Despite the state of national mourning having been declared across Ocidenia to pay respects to the fallen head of state, the unrest in the capital city Paradisa has been halted by the opposition itself, as more people have taken to the streets to express their joy over the demise of the man, whom they seemingly considered a tyrant. Currently, despite the presence of military and police forces around them, the citizens of Paradisa have begun an unstoppable wave of celebrations across the city, expressing their joy louder than at any festival that the country has ever had or that any country in Esquarium overall has ever hosted. Despite the urge by the Ocidenian Military, the Paradisa Police Department, the National Guard and the special riot management forces to intervene and halt the celebrations out of the sake of moral decency, the administration has currently taken no action of conducting anything of the sort, thus not giving any forces loyal to the government any obligation or right to stop this chaos. Therefore, Paradisa continues celebrating.

However, this is the case not only in the capital city. Many other parts of the country, which have not yet been fully deserted over the course of the civil war, have expressed uncontrollable joy either. This expressive euphoria by the nation has especially been bright in the OPLF-held territories in southern Ocidenia and the ONLF-held territories in northern Ocidenia, while the central areas of the country, which still remain under the control of the Ocidenian Commonwealth Armed Forces, have had lower-level celebrations, although the majority of the civilians still did not hide their happiness, despite the presence of the army right at their door step. It is unknown whether the administration will dare taking any action to stop this disrespectable display of joy at the face of the leader’s demise, as the administration has stated that it is currently more focused on hosting the investigation at the State Palace, where attempts continue to discover the true cause of the death of Prime Minister Simeon Brozhav.

According to even some reports coming from the battlefield, the fighters of ONLF in the north and OPLF in the south have briefly ceased fire against the position of the Ocidenian Military and started letting out indecent roars of cheering amid fresh news of the Prime Minister’s demise. However, this display did not last long, as the terrorists soon returned back to fighting against the regular army. Although this expression from the ONLF and OPLF terrorist factions is understandable, as their main enemy, who has been putting in all effort to fight them in protection of the Ocidenian people, has fallen, however, the members of the administration itself continue to claim that they are shocked and appalled by this reaction from the Ocidenian people and that they will definitely not condone it or tolerate it for long. We will keep you informed as events develop.

Opposition, military defectors and citizens head for the State Palace

Luziycan-backed government in trouble, as the entire nation has blended together to overthrow the administration, which turned Ocidenia into Bethlehem‘s puppet


Image


Although the rejoicing over the demise of Prime Minister Simeon Brozhav still continues across Ocidenia, such atmosphere in the capital city Paradisa has apparently toned down. The opposition has once again decided to continue its march towards the capital city Paradisa in order to remove the ruling government and although it might seem like this attempt is nothing new, knowing they had attempted to achieve this for a long time now and without result, the administration fears that this time the chances of them being successful are higher than they ever were throughout the course of the entire civil war.

This time, the Ocidenian Commonwealth Armed Forces and the National Guard have been seeing the sky-rocket amount of defectors among their ranks, who are joining the ranks of the opposition as their armed protection, while the Paradisa Police Department and the special riot management forces are putting down their weapons in refusal to halt the protests any longer, instead even deciding to join the ranks of the people pursuing the ousting of the government. In addition, the opposition has been growing more than ever, as larger amounts of local citizens are coming out of their homes and even arriving from cities of the country, joining the ranks of the protesting masses pursuing the government in the State Palace. Multiple sources speculate that by this time, practically the entire population of the large capital city Paradisa, has now joined the opposition against the administration. It is believed that because of realization that they would no longer be able to fight against such large masses, no matter how much weapons they have at their possession, is why the army, the police and the special forces have decided to surrender and join the other side.

With all forces that were responsible for the protection of the government now having either fallen apart or defected to the other side, the administration has realized that it now could only rely on the security of the State Palace as their only protection, although chances are pretty low that this force would be enough to control the wave that is coming towards them. The current government is now practically counting hours left until the power is taken out of their hands. We will keep you updated on the ongoing events. Stay tuned.

Investigation results confirm: Prime Minister Simeon Brozhav has indeed killed himself with the deed being captured in the Prime Minister's final video message

An investigation carried out at the State Palace, Paradisa, amid the ongoing turmoil across the country, has confirmed that Prime Minister Simeon Brozhav has indeed died by his own hand. Paradisa Police Department has released footage from the the Prime Minister’s final video message, which captured the suicide itself


Image


As it is already known to most of you, today the Paradisa Police Department has announced that the investigation being carried out in the State Palace in pursuit of finding the initial cause of death of Prime Minister Simeon Brozhav, has officially been concluded, after the investigators had seemingly discovered an uncontested piece of evidence that has immediately closed an entire investigation. However, upon making the discovery, the investigators refused to reveal it at first, stating that they would only unveil the undisputed evidence at this evening’s news conference from the PPD headquarters. Well, that very same news conference is about to begin any minute, as the press and the media had already gathered to capture the event, while the captain of PPD is already seen walking to the podium to make the address. Therefore, our dear viewers, we must now cut the Paradisa Police Department headquarters, where the long-awaited unveiling of the true cause will now take place:

On July 22, 2015, at approximately 8:50 a.m, a phone call was received from the State Palace, the grand government headquarters situated in the capital city Paradisa of the Commonwealth of Ocidenia. The caller reported of the discovery of a male body, which was found on the floor in a pool of blood with a highly visible gunshot wound in the head. The caller identified the body as belonging to the serving Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of Ocidenia – Simeon Brozhav and stated by that, based on personal observation, the Prime Minister had seemingly been assassinated. Emergency response services immediately headed to the State Palace to examine the scene and provide any form of aid, if it would have still been necessary.

Upon arrival, the identity of the remains has been determined and the reality had coincided with the caller’s statements, as the body was identified as indeed belonging to the serving Prime Minister of Ocidenia Simeon Brozhav. The medical services had classified the Prime Minister as deceased immediately after a closer examination. Much of the scene looked much like what was described by the caller, who was the personal secretary of Prime Minister Simeon Brozhav during his term in office. The head was pierced with a large transparent gunshot wound, while the body temperature had dropped significantly, leading to an assumption that the remains were already stale and that the death might have occurred hours and days before the initial discovery.

Upon closer examination of the scene, the officers of the PPD have attempted to discover signs of the first initial theory of the occurrence, which was assassination. This particular possibility seemed to be especially accurate considering the ongoing unrest in the country and the vast opposition to the ruling administration of Prime Minister Simeon Brozhav. What was also taken into consideration, was the fact the caller had made a similar assumption of the occurrence, thus leading to an additional reinforcement of the possible theory and consideration of surroundings and clews that might have led to such a conclusion. However, upon another examination of the scene, the office was classified as not having contained any signs of a break-in or a potential skirmish having broken out between the Prime Minister and his supposed assassin or assassins, while the State Palace overall did not contain signs of breaking in either, as additional examination of the building itself has been carried out as well. Although a supposed fight between the deceased and his alleged attackers was not necessarily recognized as the only possible piece of evidence that would reinforce the assassination theory, this particular scenario had been temporarily put aside and other theories then came under investigation.

Later, the officers were able to discover a handgun near the remains of the deceased, which lead to the arising of any potential theory, which was suicide. Once the close examination of the scene had been concluded, the State Palace was shut down for a full-scale investigation, where all elevated theories would be taken into consideration, was launched. The process was expected to last an approximate period of days and weeks, however, the investigators were able to discover an uncontested piece of evidence, which immediately revealed the initial cause of death of Prime Minister Simeon Brozhav and therefore the investigation was immediately closed.

At this point, I personally and the entire Paradisa Police Department had been instructed by the administration of Prime Minister Simeon Brozhav to present a fabricated conclusion of the case, which was supposed frame either the political opposition, the protesters or the rebel factions of the Ocidenian People’s Liberation Front (OPLF) of the south and the Ocidenian National Liberation Front (ONLF) of the north as the perpetrators of the crime, which was the assassination of Prime Minister Simeon Brozhav. The theory that the government has ordered us to present was that the Prime Minister had been assassinated by a member of either ones of the present anti-government parties, in order to give the administration the right to use maximum force against any and all opposition, classifying it as a threat to the country. Although our department was initially forced to comply with the demands of the administration on the spot, when preparing to close the investigation, I can now bravely speak the truth during this live broadcast through multiple sources of media, as I know that my words had not just been captured on film and could be deleted or edited later, but that now, as I am saying this, hopefully the majority if not all of this country’s population is listening to me, as I unveil the true face of our current government, which has been lying to us during its entire period in power.

We now confirm that Prime Minister Simeon Brozhav has indeed died by his own hand and that his death was officially a suicide. During the investigation, no signs of break-in were discovered neither anywhere across the State Palace, nor into the office of the Prime Minister. There were no signs of any fight having occurred between Brozhav or his supposed assassin or assassins. No finger or foot prints of any other people apart from Brozhav were found anywhere at his office, not even his secretary, who was only working from her desk and rarely entered the office. The handgun found next to Brozhav’s remains, only contained the finger prints of Brozhav himself and it was laid in a position, which showed that the gun was indeed dropped by the deceased, after he had shot himself. Finally, Brozhav personal mobile phone was found on his desk with a note laying right next to it, which contained the words – “The Truth.” The mobile phone contained footage with Brozhav’s revelation of all truth regarding his time as the Prime Minister of Ocidenia and him admitting that he had decided to take himself out, before the opposition or the international community could capture him and force him to face trial for his crimes. Due to the video being long and with a high chance that the government might soon either disrupt this news conference or cut of the broadcast, we had only chosen the most important short fragment from Brozhav’s final video message, which reveals the whole truth about this fallen tyrant. We are now going to show it on the video projector on the side, therefore we ask for your attention.


I’m a patriot and as a true patriot, I believe that I had done everything right and regret nothing. A true patriot is ready to do everything for his country, which includes breaking the supposed international norms and ultimately risking his life in the process. That is exactly what I did. And I believe that I will be rewarded for my accomplishments in the kingdom upstairs, while my homeland will remember me as a hero. I’m leaving now, before you, inferior people, could get your dirty paws on me and prosecute me for proudly serving my country. Goodbye to all of you and to all those, who had opposed me, I had already won and you have lost. See you on the other side.

Opposition takes the State Palace: Government officially dissolved

Ocidenia officially faces a regime change, as the pro-Luziycan administration gets overthrown by the opposition.


Image


It is officially over. The administration of Prime Minister Simeon Brozhav has collapsed and the power over the country has fallen to the opposition, which has declared that it has taken Ocidenia back for the people. The revolution has commenced approximately minutes ago, as the opposition, the protesters, the military defectors, the common citizens and everyone else, who had supported the uprising against the government, had officially stormed the State Palace, overpowered the local security and forced the remaining members of the administration to officially surrender to the revolutionaries. Moments after this was achieved, the opposition has declared the dissolution of the government of Prime Minister Simeon Brozhav and official reinstatement of democracy in the country, as Ocidenia has gotten rid of its puppet leadership installed by Luziyca and would now have a chance to elect its own new government, which would once again serve the nation, rather than foreign manipulators.

Nobody was hurt during the ambush on the State Palace and the members of the overthrown administration are currently being held captive by the revolutionaries, who await for the Paradisa Police Department to take over the arrest. Reports are already coming in from all across the country that due to the government being overthrown, the Ocidenian Commonwealth Armed Forces are no longer obliged to comply with the orders given by the toppled administration and therefore the forces of the regular army had been spotted ceasing fire and withdrawing from almost all of the frontlines one by one, unit after unit, division after division. Meanwhile, sightings are already incoming from all across the country of people running out into the streets and letting out massive cheers of joy and euphoria, following the recent news.

The rebel fighters of the ONLF in the north and OPLF in the south have also been reported as having ceased fire on the frontlines and permitting the Ocidenian Military to withdraw its forces, while the rebels themselves have been sighted as dropping their rifles on the ground and massively cheering along with the rest of the nation, giving out high fives, hugs, even kisses, as they had realized that the fight for the freedom of Ocidenia has finally been won. In compliance with the fresh changes in the country, the OCTV national network of broadcasting would like to declare its recognition of mistakes that our network has made and apologize for the crimes of disinformation that we had been committing during Brozhav’s reign in the country. We had now realized that all this time, we had been nothing more, but the government’s major tool of propaganda, however, we would like to inform that it was never our networks intention as we were simply fulfilling our functions. Stay tuned to see the further development of these events.

VICTORY: Luziycan puppet regime overthrown – Democracy returns to Ocidenia

ONLF and OPLF jointly celebrate triumphant victory, as the Brozhav regime has officially been removed from power, while the joint actions of the rebels and some foreign supporters have helped defeat the Ocidenian Military


Image


Ocidenia is finally free. Following the fresh news of the puppet administration of “Prime Minister” Simeon Brozhav having finally been removed from power, thus marking the end of Luziyca’s grip over our country, the fighters of the ONLF in the north and OPLF in the south have both ceased fire and put down their weapons, in order to engage in celebrations along with the rest of the liberated nation. Mass cheering has already erupted not only across the rebel-held areas, but even the central parts of the country, which have generally remained under the government control throughout the majority of the civil war, thus demonstrating that there were no alternative approaches to the Brozhav administration – the entire nation wanted him and his goons out of power and now they dream has been fulfilled.

With the end of the regime’s reign in Ocidenia, the country’s military – the Ocidenian Commonwealth Armed Forces, which has been loyal to the government, has also ceased fire and begun the withdrawal of forces, weaponry, military equipment and other hardware from the frontlines. This is due to their orders no longer having validity, as the government, which has issued them, not only no longer holds power, but has ultimately been dissolved. However, from observations of the regular army’s latest performance in the battlefield, both rebel factions – the ONLF and OPLF speculate that the Ocidenian Military has also lately been starting to see the truth in what has actually been happening in the country and had started experiencing a change of heart, no longer wishing to be at war with its own people and to serve a fake oppressive regime, which has sold Ocidenia to a foreign power. This has especially been visible by the sky-rocketing level of defectors from the Ocidenian Military into the ranks of OPLF and ONLF, which has been almost an everyday occurrence in the past period.

Upon putting down their weapons, the rebels of the OPLF in the south and ONLF in the north started celebrating their joint achievement right on the spot. The expressing of their joy included hugs, brotherly kisses, high-fives and louds roars of joy. Reportedly, this has not only been the case among the ranks of the rebels, but also among the ranks of the Ocidenian forces as a large number of them has also been seen rejoicing over the regime changes as loudly as intensely as the rebels and the common citizens. Although many might speculate that this is just an act in order to avoid aggression and blend in, the closer look displays a truly honest expressing of joy, as this emotion is not that easy to effectively act out.

The rebel positions in the north and south have been seen not only celebrating, rejoicing and congratulating each other among the ranks of their own factions however. The ONLF and OPLF, whom many speculated were only affiliated with each other in order to remove the common enemy Brozhav, after which they would move on to each attempt taking power, have demonstrated that they have remained allies even after the end of the war, as the leaderships of the two rebel factions have already exchanged congratulations to each other. In addition, despite seemingly radically representing each their own ideologies, the fighters from rebel factions have already been spotted taking down their own secessionist versions of the national flag of Ocidenia and replacing them with the current flag of the Commonwealth, which they originally refused to fly with Brozhav in power. Now that Ocidenia has been reclaimed for its people again, the traditional national flag once again flies in all parts of the country. This is just one of many occurring signs that the rebels were not fighting for power, but were indeed fighting the freedom of their mutual land.

Ocidenia celebrates liberation from Luziyca’s dominance

The nation is consumed by joy and euphoria, as the people of Ocidenia celebrate liberation of their country from being a puppet of foreign powers


Image


All of Ocidenia is currently unanimously celebrating their long-pursued and recently-won liberation from the reign of the administration of Prime Minister Simeon Brozhav, which many believe has been put into power in Ocidenia by the CIA of the Christian Republic of Luziyca a certain period ago. The capital city Paradisa currently remains the center of the country-wide celebrations, due to this being the location, where this historical liberation occurrence had taken place, however, other cities, towns and inhabited areas all across the country are celebrating and rejoicing no less intensely.

The celebrations across the country currently hold no formal status, as the rejoicing is generally taking place in a form of public display of joy initiated by the citizens. However, from observations, many agree that the amount of people involved and the level of excitement overpowers many notorious festivals, not only in Ocidenia, but on the international level. Fireworks have been rocking the country’s skies all day, from early morning until today, with people even overlooking some public norms and popping open champagne bottles right on the street. Although no signs of vandalism or uncontrollable and even public order threatening excitement has yet been detected anywhere, the police all across the country are keeping a close watch over the events and are currently operating as independent departments, due to Ocidenia currently not formally not having a national government.

It is not yet known how much longer will the celebrations continue, however, some politicians from the opposition party, which has been outlawed during the reign of the Brozhav regime, have stated that a whole week of festivals might be organized across the country, with all of them being dedicated to theme of Ocidenian national pride, importance of democracy, national freedom and other values of our nation, which have either been suppressed or forgotten during the reign of the Luziycan-backed government.

In order to fill the power void left following the removal of the Luziycan-backed administration of the self-proclaimed Prime Minister Simeon Brozhav, the National Provisional Assembly (NPA) has officially assumed temporary leadership in Ocidenia, in order to fill the remaining control vacuum, until the democratic elections of a new government could be organized in the country. The National Provisional Assembly is a political body, which was secretly formed during the recent civil war and which was created as a potential transitional government of Ocidenia, replacing the Brozhav regime upon its removal and fulfilling the functions of a national administration until the government chosen by the people would elected and left to take over the rightful power.

The assembly consists of the members of the old government, which was toppled by the CIA of Luziyca, members of the opposition party, which existed throughout the entire history of Ocidenia, before being outlawed by the Brozhav regime, as well as the diplomats representing the secessionist factions of northern and southern Ocidenia, which have fought for the introduction of new ideologies into the country’s political spectrum. The assembly is viewed as a balanced mash of multiple different oppositions to the regime of the Luziycan-backed Brozhav, as well as the members of the ousted government which preceded the Brozhav regime and the long-existing Ocidenian opposition party, which existed throughout the entire history of independent Ocidenia and was part of the country’s political spectrum all the time. However, the opposition had always managed to find balance and cooperate with all the ruling governments of country, before the Spring Revolution, when it was put out of existence. The Chairman of the National Provisional Assembly is Adiro Pagressos, the last head of the opposition party, who has been in office during the term of the last legitimate government of Ocidenia prior to the Spring Revolution. Pagressos and his accomplices were forced to go into hiding, following the Spring Revolution and he has worked together with both the ONLF and OPLF rebel factions prior and during the civil war. Due to the Chairman of the National Provisional Assembly being an equivalent of the Prime Minister, Pagressos will also function as a temporary head of state.

Due to the proper organization of the democratic elections being a process requiring time, the National Provisional Assembly is expected to hold power in Ocidenia for a period of several months. Although the precise time cannot yet be said, it is approximate period of the National Provisional Assembly’s term is between 5 and 10 months. Chairman Adiro Pagressos has stated that due to the assembly not being the elected government of Ocidenia, it would refrain from making any big decision that might affect the existing system, however, he stated that over the course of its term, the assembly would try to do everything in its capabilities to help rebuild Ocidenia’s economy, which has already been weak under the last legitimate government and has been falling even lower during the reign of the Brozhav regime, which had crippled the economy due to sanctions and international isolation that Ocidenia has faced. Many representatives of the assembly have stated that they want their administration to bring the first positive changes to the country that would establish a foundation from which the elected government would continue working all the way to the top in pursuit of a bright future for Ocidenia.
