In various corners of the world, there exist events that remain beyond our control or influence. Nevertheless, as time progresses, humans have learned to mark the occurrences of these natural changes. Consequently, we now have the ability to gain insights into the lifestyles of our ancestors, such as the Egyptians and the Mayans, and understand the structures of their societies. Global and Domestic Events are established with the purpose of achieving these goals: to showcase to our future generations the way we lived and to ease the transfer of this knowledge.

The Marajarbian Federation has officially declared that it will be working alongside British Arzenlentaxmacone and other allies from both the CSL and ASP in the ongoing second HazahmKongian Civil War. One plan currently being discussed has to do with the shipment and safe distribution of economic and humanitarian aid to civilians currently located within the territory of the legitimate government. However, there is reason to believe that, due to concerns that the HazahmKongian Civil War may become a CSL-InterCOM Proxy War, that nations such as Vorrilium or Puerto Caribe may try to sabotage the aid shipments. Time will tell if such an atrocity happens, and if it does, if these events worsen the continuous overescalated tensions between both of the respective factions and the allies both sides currently have.

The Return of the Redwood Empire: From Openness to Isolation and Back Again

By Amelia Woods, Senior Correspondent, Redwood Times


The Empire of Redwood has once again reopened its borders and reestablished contact with the outside world after a brief but impactful period of isolationism instituted by Queen Lydia last year.

Redwood's withdrawal from global affairs began under Queen Alexis in the aftermath of civil war and unrest in the 2010s. For nine years, the nation persisted in isolationism and self-sufficiency under Queens Alexis and Mars.

When Queen Mars passed away unexpectedly last year, her successor Queen Lydia initially sought to reconnect Redwood with the world. For a few short months, she reopened borders and rekindled diplomatic and economic ties. But this openness was cut short as tensions escalated between global powers, leading to the brink of armed conflict.

Fearing entanglement in impending war, Queen Lydia dramatically reversed course and quickly reinstated strict isolationist policies in Redwood. Once again, travel, trade, and communication with the outside world was sharply curtailed.

Now, just a year later, Queen Lydia has decided the time is right for Redwood to reopen again. In a landmark address, she stated "The dangers that compelled us to isolate have receded, and a new age of openness beckons once more.”

The whiplash reversal reveals the challenges Redwood faces in determining its place in the world during this turbulent era. The young Queen now hopes to maintain stable international engagement moving forward. But with global tensions still simmering, Redwood may continue oscillating between isolationism and openness.

Queen Lydia will need to demonstrate wise leadership to carefully calibrate Redwood’s global integration. Her people yearn to reconnect with the world, but security concerns still loom large. This balancing act will define Redwood’s policies and prospects in the years ahead.

Citizen Reactions

“After being shut off from everyone beyond our borders for so long, it is exhilarating to know that I will finally be able to meet people from other lands and experience their cultures,” said Amber Rose, 19, a university student. “I have grown up hearing only vague rumors about life abroad. Now the doors are finally open to see it all firsthand.”

However, some citizens remain wary of potential downsides to reopening. “Are we prepared for the changes this renewed openness will bring?” asked William Stokes, 48, a factory supervisor. “Our ways may be corrupted by unchecked foreign influence. And how can we compete economically if advanced imports flood our markets? Change is coming swiftly, and not all may welcome it.”

Political Perspectives

Queen Lydia’s surprise decision has jolted the political establishment. Some leaders affiliated with the long-governing Royal National Party support the move. “Resuming our rightful place among the community of nations will bring prosperity and opportunity,” said Senator Beatrice Grant, Leader of Government Affairs.

But opposition leaders have voiced skepticism. “This abrupt reversal of policy seems rash and poorly considered,” charged Leader of the Opposition Jeremy Caldwell. “We know little of the state of the wider world after our isolation. Reopening requires planning and caution, not reckless speed.”

Yet even critics concede that after a decade isolated, Redwood must eventually integrate globally again. “The people demand openness, that much is clear,” Caldwell acknowledged. “We should have begun gradually re-engaging with select nations to evaluate conditions abroad. But it seems we have little choice now but to make this leap.”

Moving Forward

With borders reopened and global reintegration now accelerating, Redwood faces major opportunities but also new vulnerabilities. Diplomatic efforts will be crucial to reestablishing Redwood’s international standing after years of isolation. Strict protocols will be needed to prevent security threats and facilitate the flow of ideas and commerce.

Queen Lydia has charted a bold path by reconnecting Redwood to the world so suddenly. Her leadership will be tested as her nation adapts to a reality largely unknown to her citizens after the isolationist interlude. All eyes will be watching to see if Redwood can thrive again as part of the global community.

Massacre in Berlin

In the early hours of October 20th, a large riot of 5000 democratic protestors assembled in Berlin Centre, more and more joined, as police came to the scene, they used pepper spray constantly, tear gas, water canon's, if you wrr unlucky enough to be swept behind the wall of riot shields you'd be beaten to the brink of death and arrested.

In the early hours of the 21st of October's, rioters used moltovs to burn major buildings, Aswell as police officers. This trigged riot police to use automatic rifles, shooting anyone who posed a major threat in the head. Tohose ago didn't flee began using homemade explosives agaisnt Prussian Police, the police had to pull back as a bearcat flipped over, crushing riot officers.

Following this, a fire spread acros Berlin, with fire fighters struggling to contain it. 10 truck loads of Army personnel drove into city Square, riot police still had shield walls around the protestors, and were still tear gassing and pepper spraying them, those who got too close to the shield eall were hit in the back of the head with a baton, and sverytine the shield wall moved forward, they would be trampled on, before being beaten to the brink of death by arresting officers and being out into transport trucks.

The army personnel set up an MG-3 on a Humvee, which makes a hole in the shield wall, but the humvee plugs in, aswell as this, soldiers with automatic rifles, stand on police cars to look over the shield wall.

At 17:32 the Army opened fire, the MG-3 ripping people to bits like it's D-DAY.

Malden Reconsiders International Garrison

October 24th, 2023

---

As the Champlanian Garrison's Mandate on the Eastern Island of Malden reaches its end, the Government of Malden has begun to reconsider their position on further garrisons in the Republic. On one hand, the garrisons have ensured that no imperialist power will attempt to seize Malden in order to take control over their strategic position over the Straits of Gibraltar but worries that Malden will become little more than a client state to Champlania have forced the Government to look at their deals with Champlania, and possibly consider working out a new deal on the further garrisons stay. The MSF, or Malden Security Forces, has grown in recent years, with the Coast Guard officially being made a branch of the small Force, with Malden Nationalists claiming that the MSF should receive further backing so that these threats can be countered by the MSF rather than the Champlanian Garrison. With the purchase of a frigate to serve as the Flagship of the Coast Guard, the claims that Malden will be able to stand on their own have only grown within the country, although it has been very contested within the Government.

In La Trinité, the capital of Malden, Pro-CSL Demonstrations took place, calling for Malden to receive Garrisons from multiple spheres so that when the mandates come to a conclusion, Malden can choose an alliance that best suits Malden interests. While Malden has considered KTO, CSL, and even ASP membership for a time, none of these plans came to fruition as the Government weighed the risk of possible attacks from alliances believing Malden had given them a short end of the stick. As a result of the increasing questions of the mandates, and the pressure from demonstrations, the Government of Malden officially announced that they would take interest in deals with memberstates from various alliances to ensure that Malden can have further Political and Defense relations with international partners. While the government of the Republic has made it clear that they will likely approve a more limited extension of the Champlanian Mandate, they will attempt to work deals out with other international partners. Despite all of these new developments from the small island nation, it seems clear that Malden will slowly try to make their way into the Political World, despite their small size.

TL;DR
Reach out to the Government of Malden, I'd be more than happy to discuss a deal within reason, also note that we only have a very limited amount of space for International Garrisons. So it's likely going to be a first come, first serve.

[Southeast Marajarbia]

After receiving the reports of the humanitarian aid ship sinking, the Marajarbian Government would officially condemn Vorrilium for its commitment to war crimes, stating that disrupting a humanitarian aid shipment is a war crime that not only makes things worse for Vorrilium should the communists lose the war, but also means that InterCOM allows known war criminals into its ranks and encourages war crimes no matter what. Marajarbia would then proceed to call on the CSL and ASP to begin taking action against both Vorrilium as well as InterCOM. Furthermore, Marajarbia commends the efforts to fight against Communist forces, but believes that using chemical weapons to do so is a little too far. Nevertheless, it’s clear that the communists won’t win this war, as Marajarbian troops finally arrive to HazahmKongian shores.

Mysterious Activity Surrounds 27th Separate Guards Motor Rifle Brigade Near Moscow

Moscow, October 29, 2023 - Unusual and enigmatic activity has been observed near the 27th Separate Guards Motor Rifle Brigade, situated just outside of Moscow. While the Ground Forces have been tight-lipped about the situation, civilian reports have begun to shed light on the situation.

Eyewitnesses have reported witnessing a noticeable movement of troops around the Brigade, sparking concerns among local residents. The reason behind this sudden troop movement remains undisclosed, leaving the public to speculate.

What has truly raised eyebrows is the presence of several T-72 main battle tanks parked along the streets adjacent to the Brigade base. This display of armored firepower is highly irregular for routine training exercises, causing a sense of unease in the vicinity. Civilian reports suggest that armed soldiers, equipped for more than just routine drills, have been spotted in and around the tanks.

Adding to the intrigue, the last sighting of these troops was in the Yasenevo district, a location that falls well outside their usual area of operation. This has fueled speculation and a flurry of theories among local residents and the wider public.

Officials have remained silent about the situation, neither confirming nor denying the significance of these developments. As concerns mount and the mystery deepens, the Intercontinental News Network will continue to monitor this story and provide updates as they become available.

EFNF sends fleet into the Indian Ocea

Today, the EFNF confirmed the deployment of the 26th Commerce Raiding Group, which had been deployed in the Indian Ocean for an unspecified purpose. This formation, compromising 6 Zumwalt classes and a classified amount of nuclear hunter submarines, has been dispatched in the high seas area of the Indian Ocean, with proximity to a major trading route. The Zumwalt classes, which are from the GM variant built for direct ship-to-ship combat, A thing that causes major questions and suspicion is that the fleet is a so-called Commerce Riaidng Goup, which are formations designed and designated to destroy entire convoys of hostile ships, using their speed and very hard-to-find vessels to strike with the surpise element and rapidly retreat back. This development has just been unfolding, and not much information has been publicized. The only other report has been that another 3 Commerce Raiding Groups have been set on standby in the Med sea.

Military Presence Escalates in Moscow: Tanks and Troops Near Moskva River

Moscow, October 30, 2023 - In a rapidly developing situation, new reports have emerged following the recent sightings of military activity around the 27th Separate Guards Motor Rifle Brigade in Moscow. These updates paint an increasingly concerning picture.

Reliable sources within Moscow have confirmed that the tanks and troops from the 27th Separate Guards Motor Rifle Brigade have moved closer to the heart of the city. The Moskva River is now home to several T-72 tanks and armored vehicles that have effectively blocked access to the Krymsky Bridge. Soldiers have assumed strategic positions in the vicinity of the Gorky Park Museum.

Local authorities have, at last, acknowledged the ongoing military activity, but their response has been limited to a warning for civilians to remain indoors and avoid venturing outside.

Moreover, reports from earlier today have revealed a parallel surge in military movement within the Moscow region. Eyewitnesses have reported the sighting of troops and T-80U main battle tanks, reportedly from the 4th Tank Division in Naro-Fominsk. This convoy appears to be advancing along the E-101 road, heading towards Moscow, with an entire division seemingly mobilized.

The exact reasons behind these unusual military activities remain unknown, and the public's anxiety continues to grow. Intercontinental News Network will continue to closely monitor this situation, providing updates as they become available.

The Marajarbian Federation has officially declared its support for the legitimate government in the ongoing war in Kunskil, a small and underdeveloped nation in the world known for its involvement in the peace talks for the HazahmKongian Civil War and its massive fishing industry. Marajarbia has declared its support following the rise of terrorists supported by nations such as Terra Magnifica Gloria, which is a nation that isn’t only against democracy and for terrorism, but is also reportedly a new recruit in InterCOM, an alliance which has come into conflict with the two major factions of the world, those being the Collective Security League and the Alliance for Security and Prosperity. Marajarbia has also joined its allies and fellow CSL memberstates, The Daeva and the Free Social Conservatives in the intervention in Kunskil, and calls on other CSL and ASP members alike to send support, while also calling for Kunskil to join the CSl in order to gain a say in the future of global geopolitics.

Crisis Deepens in Moscow: Multiple Military Units Mobilized

Moscow, October 31, 2023 - The ongoing military presence in Moscow has taken a troubling turn as multiple divisions converge on the city, heightening concerns and speculation about the situation.

Recent reports confirm that the 4th Tank Division has reached Moscow, joining forces with the 27th Separate Guards Motor Rifle Brigade. T-80U main battle tanks have been deployed to block key roads, cutting off access from the Akademicheskaya metro station to the Tulskaya train station. This move effectively isolates central Moscow, creating an atmosphere of tension and uncertainty in the city.

Adding to the sense of alarm, eyewitness accounts detail the positioning of Kremlin guards around the Kremlin palace. These guards are accompanied by FSB operatives who have set up security checkpoints within an 800-meter radius of the Kremlin, suggesting an apparent state of readiness for a defensive operation.

The Kremlin has finally addressed the situation, issuing a broadcast message. Authorities have urged residents in Moscow and several other regions, including Tula, Kaluga, Bryansk, Smolensk, Luga, Saint Petersburg, Voronezh, Rostov-on-Don, and Krasnodar, to remain indoors at all costs. Law enforcement agencies are reportedly conducting patrols on the streets in these areas.

Further reports indicate that the 138th Mechanized Brigade and the 25th Mechanized Brigade are moving in columns toward the city of Saint Petersburg. Additionally, sources in Rostov-on-Don have observed the transportation of troops that appear to be from the entire 150th Mechanized Division into Rostov-on-Don.

Unofficial sources on social media platforms, particularly Twitter, have suggested the possibility of a coup d’état, although no substantial evidence has been presented to substantiate these claims. This uncertainty has further fueled panic and confusion among the public.

As the situation unfolds, Intercontinental News Network remains dedicated to providing the latest updates and insights on this developing crisis.

Russian Government Reportedly Overthrown in Military Coup

Moscow, November 1, 2023 - In a shocking and unprecedented turn of events, the Russian military has officially declared a coup d’état, reportedly overthrowing the government just 66 hours after the commencement of military activities in Moscow.

The declaration was broadcasted on state television, where the military asserted its takeover of the administration, citing the need to reinstate constitutional order, human rights and freedoms, the rule of law, and general security that had been compromised. Notably, the message emphasized that all international agreements would remain valid, and it expressed a desire to maintain positive relations with other nations.

The identity of the mastermind behind this coup remains unknown, with unconfirmed reports suggesting the involvement of a high-ranking army general. The sudden shift in power has raised numerous questions and concerns both within Russia and on the international stage.

As of the most recent update, there have been no reports of violence or fighting in Moscow. President Nikolai Fyodorov was reported to be in the Kremlin palace just 10 minutes ago, with all outside connections to Moscow severed, leaving the fate of the ousted government in limbo.

The international community is closely monitoring this situation, and Intercontinental News Network will continue to provide updates as the situation evolves and more details emerge.

Consortian Civil War heats up as chemical weapons are used

Terror...terror is the only words that can be used to describe the civil war in TGEC. Despite the ANCAP rebels almost being crushed, more nations have joined the war against the government. This civil war is an example of imperialism at its finest, as countless nations fight for their interests in TGEC.

The conflict continues to heat up, despite the countless motivational speeches made by the Grand Consortian. Hope never dies, but in a sea of darkness, where can you find light. Reports have shown that Strasbourg has been taken by enemy forces under the Holy Moscow Empire after relentless chemical bombardments.

Amongst this, we, the people, must remind ourselves that we are still Consortians, and Consortians never give up. The rebels will be crushed and peace shall be restored. Push has come to shove, so we must shove them out of this world. Keep looking for the Sun beyond the clouds. Stay hopeful. Stay Consortian. We will keep updating you.

Armed Forces of Puerto Caribe finally break socialist and communist hold on Santo Domingo, Puerto Caribean Marines take National Palace, former president's whereabouts currently unknown, his cabinet has been arrested and detained

Various Marxist sympathizers and fighters being rounded up

With the national revolution coming to a close, thanks to the efforts of the Generals and the military, the dark days of communism and socialism will soon be behind us. Today was marked with the Navy's and Air Force's combined bombardment of the Marxist forces holding the port of Santo Domingo finally paying off, with most of them dead and the rest retreating deeper into the city. The Marines who were garrisoning the city had been holed up by Marxist forces but early this morning had finally broken out and made their way to the National Palace. Encountering fierce resistance, they employed a few able-bodied citizens who were loyal to God and the values of the former Republic. Once they arrived at the National Palace a thirty minute gunfight broke out between the Presidental Guard. They pressed on however, and with God giving them prayers they killed most of the traitorous Marxist followers.

They soon broke down the glistening old wooden doors of the National Palace, which they blamed the Marxists for (which they rightly should) and began clearing out the rooms and offices that were host to small groups of Marxists. They would soon make their way to the President's office and from various reports he had already fled by then, along with his family and inner circle. They would soon move onto the Congress room and arrest and detain many of the Marxist congressmen for putting their filthy values before the God and the people of Puerto Caribe.

The National Revolution has unofficial ended along with the People's Republic of Puerto Caribe, in it's place the Republic of Puerto Caribe will be formed and God and the military will make sure Puerto Caribe does not stray from the righteous path of God and the military.

[Southeast Marajarbia]

Following concerns about the potential usage of chemical weapons by terrorist nations such as the Holy Moscow Empire in fellow CSL and ASP memberstate The Grand Economic Consortium, the Marajarbian Federation has announced that it will be sending aid to TGEC to help it in its ongoing civil war during the major geopolitical tensions brought about by the Chaos Period, the CSL-InterCOM Cold War, and many varying crises, each of which have played quite the role in making their mark on global geopolitics as well. Marajarbia has stated that if the ASP votes to militarily intervene in TGEC, Marajarbia shall also be sending troops to assist ASP allies in the defense of the legitimate government of TGEC.

In other news, Marajarbia has made threats to declare war on Filonia following recent Filonian attempts to once again put down peaceful efforts to resist Filonian imperialism and tyranny in Razanya. Depending on what happens in the ongoing civil war in TGEC, Marajarbia will either not intervene militarily in Filonia or will intervene militarily to finally make sure that Filonian imperialism cannot continue to impact the world.

President Fyodorov Defiant in the Face of Coup Attempt

Moscow, November 1, 2023 - In the midst of the ongoing turmoil, President Nikolai Fyodorov has broken his silence, addressing the nation through a public broadcast on the private broadcaster BBC Russia. Fyodorov’s message comes just 18 hours after the Russian Armed Forces declared a military coup against the Russian government.

In a spirited and impassioned speech, President Fyodorov labeled the coup attempt as an act of “treason” and a “rebellion” orchestrated by a minority faction within the military. He openly accused Russian Army General Dmitri Volkov, a former ally, of being the mastermind behind this coup.

Fyodorov urged the Russian people to take to the streets and resist the coup plotters, emphasizing the importance of upholding the constitutional order and democratic institutions. He expressed his confidence that both the Russian citizens and security forces would stand together in defense of these fundamental principles.

In a moment of gratitude, President Fyodorov acknowledged the role of media outlets, particularly BBC Russia, for their role in broadcasting his video call and informing the public about the unfolding situation.

In response to Fyodorov’s call to action, there have been reports of citizens taking to the streets, demonstrating their determination to confront the coup forces. Additionally, there have been multiple reports of soldiers within the coup movement rebelling against their superiors, further complicating the coup’s dynamics.

The situation remains fluid and highly volatile, with the nation divided as some rally behind the president’s appeal while others continue to support the military’s actions. Intercontinental News Network will closely monitor the developments and provide updates as the situation continues to evolve.

Ayshirean military take power from royal family after years of isolation

Men of the Armoured Corps patrolling Glasgow

Today is the day Ayshire finally reenters the world stage, after years of isolation and stagnation in the economy and the military, Divine providence has thanked us with the military finally taking matters into their own hands. In the early hours of the morning on the 31st of October, yesterday the Ayshirean military, mainly the Ayshirean Army took control of the streets of Glasgow, while various garrisons throughout the country began arresting any loyalists and Stuart sympathizers from lists created by the military. The Marines would begin to secure the various ports under loyalist control while the small detachment in the Orkney Islands would have a ten hour battle with the loyalist Army garrison stationed there.

The Air Force would play a key role in coup, as they established no fly zones throughout the country and would lock down all airports to prevent the fleeing of the Righ and his supporters. While all this was going on the March to Edinburgh would begin, with the generals who organised the coup and the units under their command and loyal to them began making their way to the capital. The former Righ Henry Scott would try to make many effortless pleas with them, offering riches beyond their dreams, majority seats in Parliament, and their inclusion in his family. It was all for nothing though as the Generals were determined to bring back Ayshire from the grip of stagnation and their turning back on God. After an hour or so of traveling on the M80 and M9 highways and pushing back various loyalist militias, Edinburgh and the Parliament House were soon within sight. The Righ had holed himself up in the Parliament building along with various citizens and soldiers who were loyal to him, unsurprisingly he still tried making peace with the Generals but alias to no avail. Soon his men began opening fire on any one that came close to the building, be it bystanders trying to avoid the coming battle or soldiers who deserted and tried sneaking back home. Soon a three hour gunfight would commence and would end with the arrival of M60's of the Armoured Corps, which would soon begin opening fire on Parliament. The Right would soon surrender after most of his men had either died or deserted, "Stop stop this bloodshed, God has spoken and the military shall be Ayshire's guiding hand." These historic words in Ayshire's history then marked the end of centuries of royal rule and the beginning of the reconstruction of the social and political order.

The Generals would quickly arrest the former Righ and the survivors who stood with him and have them marched around the city, being booed and having various "things" thrown at them by the citizens they once ruled over. The military has annnouced that a new constitution will soon be drafted, one that fits the people's, the military's, and the churches needs.

Violence Erupts in Moscow and Saint Petersburg Following President’s Call to Action

Moscow, November 1, 2023 - The nation is now witnessing a dangerous escalation of violence mere hours after President Nikolai Fyodorov’s impassioned call for the Russian people to resist the coup forces. The first shots were fired in Moscow, plunging the city into chaos.

The initial reports indicate that the 27th Separate Guards Motor Rifle Brigade was at the center of the violent clashes. Soldiers from this unit reportedly opened fire on a law enforcement officer on the Krymsky Bridge. In response, police forces retaliated by engaging the soldiers with assault rifles, such as the AK-74M. The coup forces, armed with auto cannons mounted on their BTR-80 armored personnel carriers (APCs), quickly overwhelmed the police, intensifying the violence in the heart of the capital.

In a dramatic counter-move, government loyalist forces launched an operation in response to the escalating conflict. Army soldiers moved to block key roads with tanks and armored vehicles, while civilian and Spetsnaz snipers took up positions on rooftops, engaging the rebel forces in the streets.

The violence has also spread to Saint Petersburg, where rebels stormed police stations using a T-80U tank and detained law enforcement officers. The battle between coup forces and government loyalists continues to rage, spreading a wave of instability across multiple Russian cities.

The situation remains deeply fluid and highly volatile, with civilian lives hanging in the balance. Intercontinental News Network will continue to monitor this unfolding crisis and provide updates as the situation continues to evolve.

Turbulent Times in Russia: Rebel Surrenders and Presidential Hostage Situation

Moscow, November 2, 2023 - The situation in Russia is marked by paradoxical shifts, with both escalations and de-escalations occurring simultaneously. Recent developments have added to the complexity of the crisis.

In a surprising turn of events, large numbers of rebel forces have surrendered to government loyalist forces, citing their reluctance to fight against their fellow countrymen as the primary reason. As a result, the intensity of clashes has decreased, and rebel forces are beginning to withdraw from cities across the country.

However, in a disturbing and alarming twist, rebel Spetsnaz forces launched a daring operation to storm President Nikolai Fyodorov’s compound, successfully taking him hostage. This audacious move by the coup plotters has injected a new layer of uncertainty and tension into the ongoing crisis.

The current highest-ranking government official, Chairman of the State Duma Vasily Udaloy, has vowed to lead loyalist forces in a campaign to liberate the captured president. Udaloy has referred to the rebel forces as “terrorists” and declared that they must pay the ultimate price for taking President Fyodorov hostage.

These contrasting developments signify a precarious and highly fluid situation, with the nation divided, and its future hanging in the balance. Intercontinental News Network will remain committed to monitoring these critical events and providing updates as they unfold.

Crisis in Russia Resolved: Coup Attempt Fails as Loyalists Regain Control

Moscow, November 2, 2023 - After hours of uncertainty and tension, the loyalist forces in Russia have decisively regained control, effectively putting an end to the attempted coup. The turning point came when a cavalry of 50 armored vehicles, including 20 main battle tanks, led by Duma Chairman Vasily Udaloy, descended upon the presidential compound, where President Nikolai Fyodorov had been held hostage. An estimated 600 soldiers and 400 Spetsnaz operatives were part of this determined operation.

The standoff that ensued lasted for several intense minutes. During this time, some rebel forces chose to surrender, while others were met with force when the tanks began firing upon them. Snipers and soldiers positioned at the compound's entrances and exits also played a pivotal role in neutralizing the remaining rebels.

As a result of this decisive operation, the attempted coup has been officially declared a failure. President Nikolai Fyodorov, who had been held hostage, returned to the Kremlin and promptly addressed the nation in a televised speech.

The nation is now grappling with the aftermath of these tumultuous events, and questions regarding accountability and justice for those involved in the coup are likely to be a central focus in the days to come. Intercontinental News Network will continue to closely monitor this situation and provide further updates as it unfolds.

United Nations General Assembly Meeting Report

Date: 11/4, 2023
Time: 10:11 am
Location: United Nations Headquarters, New York

---

---

In response to a special request by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the United Nations General Assembly convened for a unique session. The meeting commenced precisely at 10:11 am, in accordance with the announcement made by the Secretary-General, António Pereira Silva. Secretary-General Silva conducted the customary formalities before returning to his seat.

As the assembly settled in, the Russian representative abruptly rose from his seat and saluted in the direction of the entrance, which was slowly opening. Stepping into the room was none other than the Russian President, Nikolai Fyodorov, accompanied by his secret service agents.

Upon reaching the lectern, President Fyodorov acknowledged the signal from the Secretary-General and initiated his speech by reiterating Russia's unwavering commitment to the United Nations. His address began as follows:

"For ten years of governance and service, I feel like the time has come for me to step down from my position as President. I deliver this speech less than a day after the attempted military coup against our government, underlining the paramount importance of our commitment to the United Nations..."

The President's speech concluded shortly after, with his assurance that a general election would be held in the upcoming week. This display of a peaceful transition of power and the reaffirmation of Russia's alliance with the United Nations served as a testament to the strength of international cooperation and diplomacy.

Episburg, Nyetoa


The Slums of Episburg were a ticking time bomb, overcrowded, lacking healthcare, and with the question of Epis Independence often resulting in partisan violence. Everybody knew it, the government had tried to intervene, but the Governor had stopped them, using their autonomy from Atrea to sabotage any efforts to do anything. The reason? The Epis elites were worried about the people in the slums further dividing the already extremely partisan population. The question now was, when would it explode? the answer came on Dec. 12, 2028.

Because of the tropical nature of Episburg, the winter was not cold, meaning that people were not hiding in their slum houses, but were bustling through the crowded mud roads of the slums. Somewhere in those crowded streets, there was Nyetoas Patient Zero. A loud scream could be heard in the crowd, and everybody froze, was there a shooter?, a bomb?, or was it an insane person, probably high on something? But it was none of those things. Soon more screams rang out, chaos ensued, and nobody knew what was going on, what followed was a stampede, an estimated 1,500 people died from the stampede, and 6,000 more were bitten. 5 minutes after the chaos, police came to the scene, expecting a bomb or a shooter, they came lightly armed. What they saw instead was a horde of the living dead. The 12 police officers, with only a pistol each, and just a single assault rifle between them, were overwhelmed. 4 were instantly caught in the horde, including the one with the Assault rifle, the flash of an assault rifle shooting could be heard in the middle of the horde for a few seconds, before going dark. 2 ran into the police car, but then got swarmed by the horde. As a pretty badass last stand, they drove their police car through the middle of the horde, before being swarmed by zombies, the explosion of their gas tank could be seen by the surviving officers, blasting a hole in the middle of the horde. The remaining police officers ran away from the horde, one was bitten, while the others escaped unscathed.

After the chaos in the slums, the horde advanced on the not-quite-slums areas of Episburg. News of the virus reached Atrea. King Alexander Atreos has given a speech about the situation in Episburg and has declared a state of emergency for the Epis Island Province. Meanwhile, 7000 soldiers, 12 tanks, 35 APCs, and 8 AC-130s have been shipped off to Epis Island, seeking to contain the infection.

Epis Crisis Stretches into Week 2, Government Reports Upwards of 120 Infected

For 2 weeks, crisis has rocked Epis Island, as a new "Super Virus", now designated as DRV-28 has continued to spread. The virus has a 10% Fatality rate, although those who contract it from bites die an estimated 32% of the time. If the virus kills its victims, it spurs their dead bodies into a murderous rage, biting anybody near them and attempting to consume as much flesh as possible. Re-animated corpses move at 1 mph, exhibit no pain, and have seemingly superhuman strength. An estimated 130 people have already died. The Nyetoan Royal family has released a state-

Puerto Caribe's chemical weapon's program close to completion

With Puerto Caribe's nuclear program currently underway with the EFU's assistance, a less funded area of national defence was recently given more funding, which has brought the development of Puertop Caribe's chemical weapons programs almost to a close. With many sciencetists traveling to allies abroad to learn more about the development, procurement, and handling of such agents. The development of mustard gas has been a top priority, given it's deadliness and fatality rate, which is seen by many that would help further safeguard Puerto Caribe's national security. Vomiting and blood agents such as Cyanogen chloride, Hydrogen cyanide, Adamsite, and Diphenylchlorarsine have also been researched, their development is expected to be completed within three to four days. The chemical agents are expected to arm the warheads of the Zarza Ardiente-1 short-range ballistic missiles, such missiles armed with these agents will be deployed with front line units, and rumors have been floating that they're expected to be tested in Puerto Caribe's next intervention in a foreign war.

The current research facility, the name which shall be undisclosed, was visited by Caudillo and President Miguel Valero de Bernabé, who has been the biggest proponent of the nuclear and chemical weapons program, announced earlier this day during a speech that "The time has come for Puerto Caribe to not just limit herself to having nuclear weapons, the development and pursuement of chemical weapons is paramount to our nations national security." Many citizens applauded our Caudillo for his aggressive defence of the nation, but a few of the elite have voiced their concern, mainly concerned about what other nations might do if Puerto Caribe continues down this path and the possible drain on the economy.

As the Chaos Period is now halfway done, many wars have had quite the geopolitical impact upon the world. In spite of the CSL-InterCOM tensions having cooled down, following the return of The Grand Economic Consortium to the world stage, the Marajarbian Federation intervened in the small nation of Kunskil in its fight against terrorism. However, this has led to a nation known as Zaltalla attempting to enslave the people of Kunskil and invade other states to continue to enslave people. Marajarbia’s government has announced that it will fight against slavery whenever possible and wherever one can find it alongside fellow allies in both the Collective Security League and Alliance for Security and Prosperity, which have continued to grow not only because of their status as the two modern factions in charge of leading the world forward, but also because of recent interventions in specific conflicts, conflicts like the Invasion of Shieldstan, which allowed for nations such as The Daeva to make their mark on the world by joining the CSL and hosting peace negotiations during the first CSL-InterCOM proxy war, the recent second HazahmKongian Civil War. These nations can continue to cooperate alongside the CSL and ASP, just like Marajarbia, and help to work to make the world a better place for the factions of the next Civil War Season and the one after that.
