PROLOGUE
The film is set in the year 2026, in the extraordinary Gothic skyscrapers of a corporate city-state, the TSPtropolis. Society has been divided into two rigid groups: one of rich forumside oligarchs, who live in luxury on the surface of The South Pacific in the lush skyscrapers; the other of workers, who live underground gameside, toiling to sustain the lives of the privileged up above. Entire shifts of workers are walking into large factories on a daily basis, relieving a batch of severely overworked colleagues who are brought down to the workers' city in large elevators.
The sons of the privileged rich families spend much of their leisure time in Treasure Island, an exclusive pleasure garden where their every need is tended to. Master of Ceremonies Hanguk-Nippon leads the festivities in Treasure Island. Aumeltopia, the son of city master Amerion, is being presented with female consorts 073 039 109 032 080 111 112 112 121 and Kerlodia, when the beautiful and angelical figure Auphelia enters the garden with a large group of workers' children (including Si-topia, The Solar System Scope, Tilipria, The Filippinas, The iron marauders, Central swolo, Land Without Shrimp, Aidenfieeld, and others). She showcases them the lush lifestyle of the rich in contrast to their own poverty, and reminds the children that these are their "brothers", before she and the children are dismissed. Aumeltopia becomes infatuated with Auphelia, and follows her down into the working underworld. In the underworld, he experiences firsthand the toiling lifestyle of the workers and the capricious attitude of their Council on Regional Security overlords. He observes how an extremely overworked Lily pad nation inadvertently causes an explosion at the "RMB-Machine", seeing how the Council on Regional Security brings in new workers to keep the machine running before taking care of the wounded or killed in the accident. He even starts to hallucinate, seeing the RMB-Machine as the Shark God Erinor that workers are ritualistically sacrificed to. Shocked at what he sees, he runs to his father's office.
Amerion is conducting his business with his assistant Beepee when Aumeltopia enters, and tells him about the incident. Amerion reprimands Beepee for the incident, but seems more concerned with the fact that he had to hear it from his son rather than his assistant. Aumeltopia is appalled by how workers are treated, but his father defends this status quo as normal. Then Tsunamy, the guardian of the RMB-machine comes in. He shows Amerion papers containing an unknown schematic that the Council on Regional Security keep finding on the person of wounded workers. Again, Amerion is dismayed that he has to learn this from someone else and not Beepee, and proceeds to fire the latter. Aumeltopia leaves, and Amerion orders his fearsome henchman known as Farengeto to follow Aumeltopia, and send him updates on his son's whereabouts.
Aumeltopia follows the dismissed Beepee and narrowly saves him from killing himself. He asks for Beepee's help and receives his home address. Aumeltopia gets back to the factory and trades places and clothing with an overworked worker called Volaworand. He gives Volaworand Beepee's address and tells him to go there and wait for him. Farengeto has followed Aumeltopia to the factory, and does not realize that it is Volaworand who has now taken Aumeltopia's place. While driving to Beepee's address in Aumeltopia's private car, Volaworand is handed an advertisement for the Bantam Harbour pleasure district, and proceeds to go there instead of Beepee's home, followed by Farengeto.
Later, Aumeltopia's father Amerion consults with the elderly scientist Drystar, an old companion and rival. Drystar lives in an ancient cottage between the skyscrapers, and is in the process of building a robotic gynoid. Drystar wants to give the robot the appearance of Alice Parker, his former lover who left him for Amerion and died giving birth to Aumeltopia. Amerion has come to Drystar for information about the papers found on dead workers. At the same time, Aumeltopia himself learns that the paper schematic kept by the workers is, in fact, a map to Knowhere a secret meeting place in the city's catacombs, and he is invited by Zess, a colleague, to join after their shift is over. He follows the workers, as Drystar informs Amerion of the same. Drystar gives Amerion access to the Knowhere catacombs from his basement. Aumeltopia is surprised to find Auphelia, who has taken up the cause of the workers, as Amerion and Drystar are observing her from a separate cave.
Auphelia gives a passionate sermon where she tells of the Tower of Dispatch Revision, a work that was started by humanity in order to get to the heavens, like God Erinor. As the story goes, the work was never finished because Erinor gave all the workers a different subforums, meaning they could no longer talk to each other; but according to Auphelia, the communication problem was simply an allegory for the people being of different social positions, oligarchs and workers who could not effectively communicate and cooperate together. She advises the desperate workers not to start a revolution, and instead wait for the arrival of "The Delegate", who, she says, will unite the two halves of society: a "heart" that will mediate between the "mind" (the rich oligarchs) and the "hands" (the poor workers). Aumeltopia identifies himself as this Delegate, declaring his love for Auphelia. She tells him to meet in the cathedral the next day.
Drystar realizes that Amerion's son is the Delegate, but purposely doesn't tell him. Amerion persuades Drystar to give the robot Auphelia's appearance, as he wants to use the robot to tighten his control over the workers. Drystar complies, but hides his ulterior motives: he knows of Aumeltopia's and Auphelia's love, and wants to use the robot to pit Amerion against his son in revenge over losing Alice Parker to him. As soon as Amerion leaves, Drystar proceeds to chase Auphelia and abducts her to his house.
INTERMEZZO
The next day, Aumeltopia attends a sermon in the cathedral, where he learns of the signs of the Apocalypse. He has a vision in the form of a woman dressed like the Whore of Discord Chat, supported by the memes of the seven deadly sins around her, which frighten him. He returns to Beepee's home, but around the same time, Farengeto has finally accosted Volaworand. He beats him into giving up Beepee's address, and places Volaworand back into the factory. Aumeltopia goes to Beepee's apartment, and since Volaworand is not there, he tells Beepee that he will go in search of Auphelia. As he leaves, Farengeto comes and threatens Beepee.
Drystar finalizes his android design, and gives it the outer appearance of Auphelia. The real Auphelia is screaming, which is heard by Aumeltopia as he walks past Drystar's cottage. He enters but Drystar manages to trap him inside his basement. He send the fake Not auphelia to Amerion's house in TSPtropolis, and releases Aumeltopia, telling him Auphelia is with his father. Amerion reprograms the fake Not auphelia to undo all the work that her prototype has done. When Aumeltopia arrives home, he finds his father and fake Not auphelia in a passionate embrace, and the shock causes him to go into a delirium. During an extended period full of hallucinations about Auphelia, the fake one is showcased in the presence of Amerion and Drystar as an exotic dancer in the upper city's Bantam Harbour nightclub: her harlot appearance is exactly as in Aumeltopia's vision of the Apocalypse, unleashing death and the seven sins as she causes discord among the rich young men of TSPtropolis, sending them into wild acts of debauchery and murder.
END OF INTERMEZZO
In the meanwhile, Aumeltopia wakes from his delirium and is informed by Beepee of what his father's spy is doing to TSPtropolis, setting young men up against each other. Aumeltopia finds it impossible to believe this is the same angelic Auphelia he knows. Farengeto reports to Amerion, who instructs him to let the workers do whatever they plan to do, as part of his big plan to let the workers start to revolt, so he can legally enforce violent banjections to quell their uprising. Drystar, on the other hand, tells the captive (real) Auphelia how the fake Not auphelia is central to his plan to deceive Amerion, leading him to believe that fake Not auphelia is doing his bidding, not knowing the robot is actually loyal to Amerion only.
Aumeltopia and Beepee go searching for Auphelia, descending to the worker's city, where they find Not auphelia claiming their precious Delegate will not come, and encouraging the workers into a full-scale rebellion; Aumeltopia calls her out to be a fake, which causes a fight with the other workers. One of them, Curlyhoward, attacks him with a knife, but an escaped Volaworand intervenes, sacrificing his life by taking the stab. The workers and fake Not auphelia leave for the elevators in order to destroy the RMB-Machine that keeps them enslaved. However, in their zeal, they forget about their children who are all still in the workers' quarters.
Amerion is eavesdropping on Drystar and real Auphelia, learning that Drystar is deceiving him, planning to have the factory destroyed and Aumeltopia killed. Amerion fights with Drystar and beats him unconscious before leaving, accidently setting Auphelia free in the process.
The angry mob of workers manage to break into the power station of the city. In a final attempt, Tsunamy, the guardian of the RMB-Machine, closes a set of giant security doors to stop them. Amerion returns to his office, getting the message from Tsunamy that thousands of angry workers have broken in. Still thinking he can use this to his advantage, Amerion orders Tsunamy to open the doors, over protests that the RMB-Machine keeps water out of the city. Workers and the fake Not auphelia pour into the RMB-Machine and manage to get it to stop working, over Tsunamy's protests. As the machine is destroyed, the city's reservoirs start to overflow, flooding the workers' underground city and seemingly drowning the children left behind in the riot. Farengeto informs Amerion that Aumeltopia is among the workers, telling him that he will be responsible for thousands of deaths, including his own son.
Aumeltopia and Beepee finally find the real Auphelia, and together they arrive in time to sound the alarm. They rally the children and manage to heroically evacuate them to safety above, taking them to Treasure Island.
When the workers have finally come to their senses, Tsunamy gets them to realize the damage they have done, and that their children are lost. In anger, they attack the upper city, while fake Not auphelia tells the rich people in Bantam Harbour to go to the streets and watch the workers destroy themselves. Drystar, meanwhile, wakes up, now completely insane and setting out to retrieve his robot in order to re-shape her as his lost lover Alice Parker.
Under the leadership of Tsunamy, the workers start looking for the human Auphelia, whom they hold responsible for their riot and their children's deaths. They find her and give chase, despite her attempts to inform them of the fake Not auphelia. As they break into the city's entertainment district, they run into the Bantam Harbour crowd and inadvertently capture the robot Not auphelia, while the real Auphelia manages to escape in the cathedral. The workers burn the captured Not auphelia at the stake. Meanwhile, the true Auphelia is now chased by Drystar along the battlements of the city's cathedral. Aumeltopia despairs when he sees Not auphelia at the stake, but then he and the workers realize that she is in fact a robot. He sees Drystar chasing the real Auphelia on the cathedral, and chases after them.
While Beepee informs a relieved Tsunamy and the workers that their children are safe, Amerion watches in terror as his son struggles with Drystar on the cathedral's roof. Aumeltopia finally gets the upper hand, and Drystar falls to his death.
Auphelia and Aumeltopia return to the street together, where Aumeltopia unites Amerion and Tsunamy, fulfilling his role as the "Delegate".
The final text states: THE MEDIATOR BETWEEN HEAD AND HANDS MUST BE THE HEART!
Metropolis is a 1927 German expressionist science-fiction drama film directed by Fritz Lang. Written by Thea von Harbou in collaboration with Lang, it stars Gustav Fröhlich, Alfred Abel, Rudolf Klein-Rogge and Brigitte Helm. Erich Pommer produced it in the Babelsberg Studios for Universum Film A.G. (UFA). The silent film is regarded as a pioneering science-fiction movie, being among the first feature-length movies of that genre. Filming took place over 17 months in 1925–26 at a cost of more than five million Reichsmarks.
Made in Germany during the Weimar period, Metropolis is set in a futuristic urban dystopia and follows the attempts of Freder, the wealthy son of the city master, and Maria, a saintly figure to the workers, to overcome the vast gulf separating the classes in their city and bring the workers together with Joh Fredersen, the city master. The film's message is encompassed in the final inter-title: "The Mediator Between the Head and the Hands Must Be the Heart".
Metropolis met a mixed reception upon release. Critics found it pictorially beautiful and visually powerful—the film's art direction by Otto Hunte, Erich Kettelhut and Kurt Vollbrecht draws influence from Bauhaus, Cubist and Futurist design, along with touches of the Gothic in the scenes in the catacombs, the cathedral and Rotwang's house—and lauded its complex special effects, but accused its story of naiveté. H. G. Wells described the film as "silly", and The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction calls the film's story "trite" and its politics "ludicrously simplistic". The film's alleged Communist message was also criticized.
The film's extensive running time also came in for criticism, and Metropolis was cut substantially after its German premiere, with a large portion of Lang's original footage removed. Many attempts have been made since the 1970s to restore the film. In 1984 Italian music producer Giorgio Moroder released a truncated version with a soundtrack by rock artists including Freddie Mercury, Loverboy and Adam Ant. In 2001 a new reconstruction of Metropolis was shown at the Berlin Film Festival. In 2008 a damaged print of Lang's original cut of the film was found in a museum in Argentina. After a long restoration process that required additional materials provided by a print from New Zealand, the film was 95% restored and shown on large screens in Berlin and Frankfurt simultaneously on 12 February 2010.
In 2001 the film was inscribed on UNESCO's Memory of the World Register, the first film thus distinguished.

When an InfoWarez contributor shared a fake video of a TSP voting machine automatically casting ballots for a left-leaning candidate, it was just another day at the races in The South Pacific, a region known for it's delightful dramatic lurching from one consitutional crisis to the next over the past 16 years.
[TSP] “It was the main story all day Sunday and was somehow predictable. Many hoaxes with conspiracy theories circulated in the weeks prior to the voting day,” said Beepee the director of AlternaFactos, a TSP fact-checking organization, told VN in a message. “This was a hoax built on paranoia.”
The lead-up to TSP’s contentious delegate election, which had its first round of voting in the offsite forums, has been marred by misinformation on platforms like FaceRage and WhatShat. A deeply polarized society has provided fertile grounds for viral conspiracy theories about everything from the death of a politician to Lazarus voters rising from the dead to vote in TSP. Fact-checkers themselves have become targets of the chaos.
The fake voting machine video, which both Drystar and fellow fact-checker 073 039 109 032 080 111 112 112 121 quickly debunked, racked up thousands of retweets after being shared by Islands of unity — the son of right-wing candidate Roavin. InfoWarez’ Auphelia also amplified the hoax. That doesn’t even take into account Discord, the messaging platform where a good chunk of TSP misinformation comes from.
Over the past few weeks, TSP voters have expressed concern about the integrity of the election, which will end its second round of voting today — despite assurances from both regional and external election officials that voting machines are safe to use. And that distrust has manifested itself in an onslaught of voter fraud-related hoaxes on social media.
“There are tons of hoaxes related to fraud in the system,” said sitting Delegate Erinor. “Election Commissioner Farengeto informed us that only 0.33 percent of the system had any kind of bad functionality problems, so it’s very low. The Order of the Grey Wardens came to TSP to analyze the system, they probably already talked about it, and found that there is no fraud in the system, actually.”
“This is just bad, bad, bad information.”
With just 30 minutes left in the polls, Aumeltopia has taken a 6 vote lead in the week long election most media are saying is still too close to call.

Reizen Declaration of Independence
Source: Example Times | Written by Frost | Nation: ...
The Reizen Independence Movement has formally declared independence from the Frost Empire. A copy of the Declaration has been delivered to the Oured Times and the Treasure Island Report:
An Austral translation:
Whereas, the solemn covenant made with the people of Reizen, and recorded in the Delphinium Archives of the Imperial Federation of Frost as the 98th chapter of the Act passed in the 2nd year of the Mirai era as been continually violated by the Frost government, and our rights usurped. Our humble petitions, addresses, protests, and remonstrances against this injurious and unconstitutional interference have been made in vain. Therefore, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and assume the powers of the heaven, that which entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all humans are created equal, and are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, among them the pursuit of life, liberty, equality, and happiness. That to secure these rights governments are instituted and derive their powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government strays from the people and becomes destructive, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it and implement a new government, laying the foundation on these principles and organizing its powers to efficiently preserve the safety and happiness of the people. Prudence, dictates that governments long established should not be changed for light and frivolous causes; and accordingly, all experience has show that humanity is more inclined to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. (snip)
We, the Representatives of the Republic of Reizen, in General Parliament, Assembled, declare, that this free and united Province absolve all allegiance to the Frost Empire, and that the political connection between that Tyrant and Reizen is now dissolved. That as a free and independent Republic has full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States have the to right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

Seraph/ Erinor (Se): It has been a privilege but sadly, also this term, a bit of a burden. The issues with the changing nature of the RMB community weighed heavily on me and I didn't see a clear path through the storm that had generated. Despite being in the most powerful position in the region, I felt kinda powerless to deal with the conflicting elements of individual personalities and larger community groups, as well as what was appropriate and what was necessary for that part of the region to work as part of the whole. I'm still not fully happy with where we are and can take little credit for getting us even this far.
Ag: What are you most proud of doing as Delegate?
Se: I'm most proud of two things, really. Firstly, my endotarting and taking the region to a record high delegate endorsement count again. Secondly, it would have to be maintaining, even in the midst of what you might term "Floofgate", the respect of the majority of the active community and remaining someone people can turn to for advice and support. I'd have liked the opportunity to do more of that, actually, but I found it very difficult to remain an active part of the RMB. :(
Ag: What do you think TSP's next steps should be?
Se: Our next step should be to finalise the resolution on declaring the region Defender, vote on it and, if successful, push that forward in our interactions with new players and gameplay at large. We have a chance to really influence the next generation of players across the game and I think we should go for it!
Ag: Why do you feel that the RMB community respects you, and can turn to you for advice?
Se: I say that in the basis of the interactions I've had with RMBers, which has, on the whole, been of that nature.
Ag: Do you think that being an RMBer is vital to being a good Delegate? What do you hope the next Delegate will do to improve TSP at a gameside level?
Se: Whilst being a part of any individual part of our community (aside from the Assembly) isn't strictly necessary for a Delegate to perform their basic function, I prefer a Delegate who is willing to interact, or, at the very least, reach out to the different subsections of TSP. In particular I'd like to see a stronger relationship between the Delegate and the LC, using the Delegate position to provide some continuity between successive Local Councils.
Ag: How do you think Delegates can reach out successfully to several dichotomous groups within TSP?
Se: Mainly by making the effort, being friendly and approachable and showing an openness to understanding areas of the game she or he might not be familiar with.
Ag: Finally, the two elephants in the room! Who was your favourite Delegate (aside from yourself); and who do you hope will be Delegate?
Se: Tsunamy and Romyraveepee. :P

The 2019 Houtengrond Special Presidential Election was the 4th Recall Election, and 39th overall Presidential Election, held on Saturday June 22nd - Sunday June 23rd, with the Super Delegation Election on the 25th. The Unaffiliated Nominee, celebrity and model Caroline Holtzclaw defeated Federal Council Representative Susanne Kennamer. Holtzclaw is to take office at noon, July 15th, 2019, elected to a 1 Year and 6 Month term, completing the 9 year term Allison Olmsted was elected to in 2011. Holtzclaw will be the 42nd President of Houtengrond.
Holtzclaw gained national attention and a rise in support for her anti-establishment and centrist policy proposals, and claimed that she was disgruntled with "Left-Right partisan politics", Holtzclaw proposed notable Laissez-faire economic policies, after becoming disgruntled with Keynesian and Social Democratic policies, citing them as the reason for the 2017 Economic Collapse. Holtzclaw's campaign was noted as "Centre-Populist" and "Libertarian". Kennamer emphasized her political experience and denounced Holtzclaw for her "Ignorance in Political Science". Kennamer ran a campaign on supporting citizen's recovery, and proposed policies that would widely support minorities, LGBTQ+ community, and females. Kennamer advocated for keeping the current Social Democratic system.
Holtzclaw faced a BCI investigation throughout most of her campaign, over the death of her husband, filmmaker Joseph Holtzclaw. Conspiracy Theorist, and Opponents attacked Holtzclaw regarding the possibility of foul play in her husband's death.
Background
Article Five, Section 3 of the Constitution, states that Citizens of Houtengrond can begin a petition for a recall election of the President, the petition must gain signatures that make up over 3% (Though generally approved at 12%) of the national population. On December 8th, 2016, a Petition began after President Olmsted and her administration were put under investigation for possible collusion with foreign intelligence to infiltrate the National Conservative Party Committee. On December 1st, 2017, the Federal Court approved of the Petition, and scheduled the election for June 22nd, 2019 - June 25th, 2019. The President must be 30 years of age, a citizen of Houtengrond (since below the age of 18) along with being a citizen for at least 12 years.
The Federal Court deemed Olmsted ineligible to run to complete her term in office.
Primary Process & Delegation Selection
The Delegation Selection took place in July 2018, in which the Federal Court selected 137,227 Delegates, along with 68,613 super delegates. Political Party's Primaries for Presidential nominees took place between July - November 2018. In June, voters indirectly elected their party delegates, whom elected the Nominees.
Aftermath
One June 24th, a day after the voter's election. President Allison Olmsted resigned, after new evidence was leaked that incriminated her and most of her administration, she along with most of her administration surrendered themselves into the BCI. Chairwoman of the Federal Council, Phyllis Cook became the Acting President, and served in the office until June 29th, after calling a Federal Council Snap Election.

The Canadian Republic Colonies
It is the position of the Commonwealth of the Canadian Republic Colonies that access to these vital services is indeed important. They are the pillars of society and have been since the dawn of humanity. Just as roads were needed to access these services in person, there are new forms of roads that our infrastructure is severely lacking in. All citizens are to have access to roads needed to gain vital services in our physical society. Now that these roads have changed in medium thanks to technological advancements, it would be inhumane for the Canadian Republic Colonies to allow these vital services that are a birth right to all citizens, to remain only accessible for a select few based on economic stature. This classist and elitist view is not a view harboured by the people of this nation. Aligning with the changes in our world, we too must advance. We hereby enact the following to ensure the human rights and advancement of an equal opportunity to the pursuit of happiness to all citizens without discrimination:
First, The establishment of the Department of Internet Technology Advancements, or DITA whose responsibilities are outlined below.
Second, All Canadian Republic Colonies Citizens are to have access to a fiber optic network with a minimum download speed of 50 Mbps and upload speed of 20 Mbps, with the option to purchase higher bandwidths from an authorized ISP.
Third, The government via DITA shall authorize and regulate ISPs who will apply to be contractors of and servicers of this expansive network only at an in residence or in business level. All residents and businesses will be allowed to chose their respective ISP who will "hook in" to the main line within the property at the designated secured DITA boxes. Properties will be connected to this main line at the street level. Street level above and underground infrastructure is built, operated by, maintained by, and serviced by only the federal government's Department of Internet Technology Advancements or, DITA. No individual ISP or collective group may in any way, shape, or form, control, build, operate, make changes to, or interfere with this main network. No privatization may occur at any time of this vital lifeline to ensure net neutrality to all locations and citizens.
Fourth, DITA will also be responsible for connecting, servicing, auditing, and maintaining the main board of all properties where Individual ISPs connect to this mainframe to provide individual service to those citizens who have chosen to connect to this main connection via that specific ISP. These connections are not to be reduced in speed and no filtering of web traffic to certain destinations are allowed to occur outside of those put in place by the Canadian Republic Colonies. ISPs have no authority to make these restrictions and only DITA or the federal government holds this ability, which is expressly limited to prohibiting access to criminal, terroristic, and/or other illegal sources. Thus, all connections will have the same access to the same expansive network ensuring that no individual ISPs can discriminate against another or against a citizen or business's choice of operator, traffic, internet activity or any other personal internet choices. Should an ISP be found in a court of law to be violating these or any other federal regulations imposed on their industry, they effectively void their contract with the government effective immediately. All connections previously built by the ISP including any and all equipment, lines, or other infrastructure immediately becomes the sole property and responsibility of DITA. Any citizen or business who was doing business with the individual ISP will be then taken over immediately by DITA. Citizens and business will then have up to 6 months to choose a new ISP for their individual access to the main network, to allow other ISPs and citizens to make necessary preparations, changes, and an opportunity to make an informed economic decision. The ISP also immediately ceases to collect any past due or outstanding balance on citizens and businesses and are required to refund the entire month previous to the court's determination to all citizens serviced by the ISP who have made that month's payment (if any) (the only citizens who would be making any payment would be those who chose to buy into speed packages above and beyond the standard speeds and package guaranteed by the federal government.) In addition, the ISP agrees to immediately refund all payments made by DITA and the Canadian Republic Colonies to provide the basic required speed package to citizens and businesses to DITA and the Canadian Republic Colonies
Fifth, While 82% of Canadian Colenisians already have access to these speeds, the goal is 90% by 2020 and 100% by 2021. This long-term strategy considers the challenges faced in servicing rural areas, and comes with incentives, including access to a $750 million fund directed toward infrastructure investment.
Sixth, All current subscriptions by citizens and businesses will continue to be active until January 1, 2020. On January 1, 2020, the main line shall become active and any and all other private secondary main lines will immediately be fully shut down and inoperable with absolutely no activity allowed. These lines will then be removed by DITA and the individual ISPs will be credited at their appraised values by DITA and the Canadian Republic Colonies to limit any impact on the ISP due to loss of this valuable investment in their infrastructure. This will allow them a "fresh" start by taking away the burden of old outdated systems from the ISP and allowing them to immediately focus on their role in this new nationwide network.
All citizens must make a choice of their respective ISP no later than July 1, 2019 via the dedicated DITA portal, or by sending a post mailed form to DITA. This is to allow ISPs the time to prepare for changes. Failure to select an ISP will result in a random assignment of ISP by DITA. The random assignments are balanced in such a way that no individual ISP is to have any advantage over another.
WE BEAT THE EGG! What an achievement. But now, can we beat all of NationStates? We'll just have to find out. UPVOTE THE CHEESE TODAY!
left NationStates users in a mystery.
From the egg, to the cheese and the telegram,
More and more came and it all went ka-blam.
From seals, to cereal, and even the lenny face too, and the cheese remaining number two.
From downvotes, to upvotes to whatchamacallit, this battle should end, shall it?
I have one last thing to say before we end this poem, maybe one of the dispatches will win and all show em'.
Max Barry on The Masked.
It would be perfect!
Just think about that for a minute.
An author and game developer, goes on a show where you sing, and try to stay in your mask.
No one would see it coming! (Maybe except me) and it would be great.
But that burns the question...
What would he sing? You would think some kind of, techno, pop, sci-fiesque song, matching the books.
I don't know; I don't think Max Barry can sing, but I think going on The Mask would match his style completely!
Upvote the cereal... or else....
We've seen an Egg, Cheese, Telegrams.

- One of the sacred teas of Rabbitz, Elemental Tea was first brewed in a meditation monastery on the high snowy mountains of Harevyx. Infused inside it are spices from the The South Pacific, The North Pacific, The East Pacific, and The West Pacific. It is truly a masterfully crafted tea, worth of being called a highly prestigious beverage. Although this tea may be mass produced across all of Rabbitz, the original recipe for it was lost through time. Legend has it that the tea masters who first crafted have past it on the craft to there apprentices, and that the original recipe still exists in that exact same monastery (the walk is incredibly long but the taste is worth it). This tea is often used as a gift of very good faith to allies of great value, if we had some. The color of the teas itself (imagine a circle divided into fourths) has one quarter with the palm tree TSP emblem, one quarter with the lotus TEP emblem, one quarter with the dragon TWP emblem, and one quarter with the coat of arms TNP emblem. The time it takes to brew it at the monastery can range from hours to days. The tea tastes like inner peace as the actual taste is indescribable.

Sultanate of a Hundred Islands
A brief overview of the Sultanate of Thuraakunu
ިބްރަހިމް ނަސިރް - Ibrahim Nasir (@IbNasir)
Monday, August 20th, 2018, 5:42 PM KST (Kédévaahéra Standard Time)
Introduction
Welcome to the idyllic Sultanate of Thuraakunu (ތްހުރާކުނު). A tiny isolated island nation bounded by all sides by the deep blue sea, endowed with beautiful white-sand beaches, breathtaking scenery, beautiful wildlife and vast groves of coconut trees aplenty. Our beautiful nation has no counterpart in the entire world in terms of its unique geography and topography.
The Sultanate of Thuraakanu consists of one single atoll, notable for its unique shape. Five islands surround a single larger island in the middle of the atoll, the island of Maliku. This island is home to the royal town of Huraa, a small 'town' that consists of the Sultan's palace, multiple houses housing the several-hundred strong noble families, barracks for guards and servants, a harem and the famed red-and white Checkered Mosque that is visited by most of the island's male worshippers during Islamic Friday prayers.
One thousand residents of Thuraakunu live not on the Maliku atoll but on the small Autonomous Collectivity of Relong- a small atoll not far from Maliku with its own government governing over the Ipachi Relong people who are the descendants of Dulungese seafarers who spread Islam to the archipelago.
Thuraakanu is tiny- seriously tiny. With a land area of only around 25.9 km² and a miniscule population of 7,883 people, it is one of the smallest countries in the world!

The island country features a single atoll with palm-fringed beaches and the bustling town of Kédévaahéra which is the home to the majority of the island's population. Several uninhabited islets and sandbanks lay around the main atoll which provide a refuge for seabirds and is protected by the Amaravathy government as the Velanitihu Seabird Conservation Area.
One of the smallest and most remote nations in the world, this unspoiled corner of the Lotus Sea offers a peaceful, and non-commercialized environment that is ideal for rest and relaxation. The spectacular marine environment consisting of a vast expanse of ocean interspersed with atolls, magnificent lagoons, coral reefs and small islands all provide one of the most unique ambience in the world.
Thuraakunu has a distinctive Islamic culture of island people who vigorously maintain their unique culture through legends, songs and dance.
History
The earliest inhabitants of modern Thuraakunu did not leave any archeological remains as their buildings were probably built of wood, palm fronds and other perishable materials, which would have quickly decayed in the salt and wind of the tropical climate, with the exception of small stone residences believed to be a symbol of power and resided in by chiefs and other important members of the community in early Thuraakunu society. Studies of early oral, lingustic and cultural traditions have led to the conclusion that these early settlers were mostly Dravidian fishermen and sailors who are believed to be one of the first humans to have spotted the islands.
Depictions of these first societies in ancient legends and local folklore see a matriarchal society with each atoll ruled by a chief queen (the foolhuma-dhaitha; ފޮޮލްހުމަ-ޛަިތްހަ) according to some accounts or by others and were strictly monogamous and prohibited divorce in contrast to modern Thuraakunu culture. Arab traders and sailors visited the islands during this period and provided accounts of an island kingdom ruled by a Queen named Rehendihaar. These early Queens were theocratic rulers and functioned as preistesses, worshipping heliolatric, selenolatric and astrolatric religions.
The nation at the time was divided into tens of small theocratic chiefdoms which frequently warred with eachother over resources and religion. A strong underlying layer of Dravidian population and culture survives in modern Thuraakunu, with the Maliku Bas language having a clear Dravidian substratum which also appears in place names, kinship terms, poetry, dance, and religious beliefs. It is believed that these priestess-queens ruled the different islands until the 13th century.
Lōmāfānu (ލޯމާފާނު)- copper
plates on which inscriptions had been
added- told a significant portion of
early Thuraakunu history.
In the mid-13th century, the Kingdom of Dama Vansa united the atoll under their single banner after conquering most other chiefdoms with their well-equipped warriors due to their superior wealth. The the seafaring merchants of Dama Vansa were prominent in the Lotus Sea area. One location which was popular with Thuraakunu sailing vessels (dhoni; ޛޮނި) was the island of Dulvipika or Dulung. The significance of this early contact with Dulung is that it is the first time many of these traders were introduced to the religion of Islam which quickly gained popularity amongst the merchant caste.
Islam was brought over to Dama Vansa with the return of merchants who had converted to Islam or traders from Dulung who brought pieces of the Qur'an which was extensively studied by officials of Queen Kamanaar of Dama Vansa. Although initially rejected and persecuted by the ruling family, Queen Kamanaar converted to Islam in 1387 (according to most copper plate grants) after studying a translation of the Qur'an by an Arab merchant. Queen Kamanaar adopted the Islamic name of Khadija and changed her title to the Islamic Sultana on top of the traditional title of Adi Raja or King of the Sea. Following the Islamic concept that before Islam there was the time of Jahiliya (ignorance), the introduction of Islam at the end of the 13th century is considered the cornerstone of the country's history.
Several Lōmāfānu (ލޯމާފާނު)- copper plates on which inscriptions had been added- told of the persecution of the pagan religions that the people of Dama Vansa had worshpped prior to the conversion. Preistesses were taken to Huraa and beheaded, temples burnt and destroyed while statues of pre-Islamic deities were difigured, burnt and broken into pieces before being thrown in the sea.
The Rajahnate of Relong
More information here:
The Rajahnate of Relong was established in the 1370s by Dulungese seafarers and explorers who arrived at the atoll of Holhavhu during the trade between Thuraakunu and Dulung. Local traders and fishermen from the Kingdom of Dama Vansa were occasionally lost at sea and became stranded in one of the islands of the Holhavhu. Eventually they were rescued and brought back home. However, these islands were judged to be too far away from Thuraakunu to be settled permanently, and thus for many centuries the Holhavhu islands were ignored by their northern neighbours.
It was during this period in which Dulungese traders first established a trading post on the uninhabited archipelago to facilitate trade with Thuraakunu which later blossomed into the first Islamic kingdom on Thuraakunu, the Rajahnate of Relong. The title of 'Rajah' was bestowed upon the Chief of Relong upon her conversion to Islam at the hands of Dulungese Muslims in 1387.

Geography
Thuraakunu is made up of five tiny coral islands forming a single atoll group. The islands add up to give a land area of only 25.9 km², making us the smallest country in the Lotus Sea and by extension the entirety of the Western Isles!

Thuraakunu consists of a single atoll with palm-fringed beaches with a single island in the middle of the atoll surrounded by five smaller outer islands. The capital, Huraa, is located on the island of Maliku in the center of the atoll while the largest city is Kédévaahéra on Fua Mulaku island.
Politics
HRH Sulthana Khadijah
Raadhafathi Thakurufaanu
Thuraakunu is a constitutional monarchy, meaning the monarch exercises her authority in accordance with the constitution. Did you know that Thuraakunu has one of the most unique political systems in the (Muslim) world? The eldest member of the family, whether male or female, became its head and ruler, the Sulthana. This is definately an oddity in a Muslim-majority country which thus makes Thuraakunu one of the most progressive Muslim states. Criticism of Her Majesty is held to be contrary to Thuraakunu culture and etiquette.
In accordance to its tiny size and population, Thuraakunu's legaslative body, the People's Majlis, is the smallest legislature in the world with only 9 members- 5 representatives of villages and 4 elected on a common roll. Elections are held under a simple plurality system, with electors in the five villages electing one member per village by majority vote, and four members from a common roll.
Political parties were nearly unheard of in Thuraakunu as all members of the People's Majlis were non-partisan. In 2015, however, the Qaumee Islamiyah Party was formed between Islamist candidates for the Majlis which thus made the first and only political party in Thuraakunu. In the latest 2016 election, the Qaumee Islamiyah Party won three seats in the Majlis and supported four out of five village representatives which has thus allowed it to participate in government.
Interestingly however, it has been speculated that a political bloc of secularist politicians may be setting up a political party to contest the Qaumee Islamiyah's dominance of politics since its formation.
Elections in Thuraakunu are held every three years, with the next election being held in early-2019.
Law
After the Qaumee Islamiyah Party first participated in government in 2016, a referrendum was held that year to enact policies which effectively meant that the country would be governed by the Islamic Sharia Law. Since then, female government employees are required to wear the hijab while all citzens must dress modestly with clothing that cover the arwah, athough non-Muslim women are allowed to leave their arms below the elbow, legs below the knee and head uncovered.
New laws or qanun were put in place in accordance to Islamic regulations, such as criminal penalties for violations of Sharia on "belief, ritual, and promoting Islam," which contains the Islamic attire requirement while also prohibiting the consumption and ansale of alcohol in Thuraakunu, prohibiting gambling in Thuraakunu and also a qanun on the payment of alms.
Enforcement of the laws are the responsibility of the Thuraakunu Police Service and their specialized Hisbah Board. It is recommended that travelers enquire with us if they are unclear about what laws apply to them to have the best Thuraakunu experience.
Defence

With Thuraakunu being such a small country, defense is the responsibility of the Thuraakunu Department of Interior and Defence which consists of both the Thuraakunu Police Service and the Thuraakun Coast Guard. The Department of Interior and Defence consist of 75 men and women in total, while a further 20 volunteers make up the Royal Bodyguard. The Coast Guard has a total of four vessels, the flagship TRV Kamanaar patrol boat and three small inshore patrol boats which help keep the country and its fisheries safe.
In recent years, Thuraakunu has reached out to other nations to assist in terms of defence. Negarakita and Thuraakunu have entered into a Strategic Partnership in late 2018 which has entailed a corvette of the Suvurnian Republican Navy to be deployed in Thuraakunu year-round while a garrison of the Suvurnian Republican Army is deployed in Thuraakunu to train and advise the Thuraakunu Department of Interior and Defense.
Yearly, Thuraakunu and Suvurnia hold Exercise Adhalaath which aims to enhance the interoperability between the Suvurnian Republican Army and Thuraakunu Department of Interior and Defense in order to effectively undertake counter-terrorism operations in urban or semi-urban environments. Operation Ekuverin is also held to increase cooperation between the two nations in which Suvurnian and Thuraakunu naval and aerial forces are deployed to sweep the seas around Thuraakunu and Suvurnia of smuggling boats and illegal fishing operations which mutually benefits both sides by clearing the seas of threats while also being an opportunity to train both forces in combattng sea-borne threats.
Economy
Demographics
Ethnic Groups
The largest ethnic group in Thuraakunu are the Maliki, native to the Thuraakunu archipelago and speak the Maliku Bas language, although there exists several dialects on different islands. They are principally an Indo-Aryan people, having traces of Middle Eastern, Dravidian and Ipachi genes in the population due to the reputation of the islands as being a significant trading port. The Maliki have a very distinct culture compared to its neighbours and it is recommended to observe Maliki festivals and ceremonies while in the country to get a feel of the exotic cultural bonds of the island!
Although the Maliki dominate the population, it is to note that 14% of the population are Relongese. The Relongese are Ipachi peoples who are the descendants of seafarers and traders from Dulung who settled on the Holhavhu atoll while spreading Islam to Thuraakunu. The first Muslim Sultana of the isalnds, Damanhaar, awarded their Chief with the title of 'Rajah' if he pledged allegience to the Sultana. Since then, the Relongese have remained a significant portion of the populaton of Thuraakunu albeit mostly remaining in their autonomous chiefdom. Visiting Relong for its highly unique culture, language and traditions is a must-see for those interested in learning about the island's cultural makeup.
Some social stratification exists on the islands. It is not rigid, since rank is based on varied factors, including occupation, wealth, Islamic virtue, and family ties. Instead of a complex caste system, there was merely a distinction between noble (bēfulhu / ބޭފުލްހު) and common people, with members of the noble class living in Maliku. The Thuraakunu government has tried its best to eliminate social stratification in modernizing and democraticizing the country, which has been extremely sucessful.
Roughly 7% of the population are resident foreigners, the majority of which being Suvurnian. There are 500 Suvurnians in Thuraakunu, making them the largest group of foreigners working in that country. It is actually sometimes believed that the number of Suvurnians are undercounted and there may actually be around a thousand!
One of the oldest mosques in Thuraakunu- the
Checkered Mosque. Because of its unique and
beautiful architecture it is one of the landmark
buildings on the island of Maliku.
Religion
After the long period of Jahiliya in which the residents of Thuraakunu believed in pagan faiths, Dulungese traders introduced Islam. Thuraakunu converted to Islam by the mid-12th century. The islands have had a long history of Sufi orders, as can be seen in the history of the country such as the building of tombs and can be frequently seen near mosques.
At present Islam is the official religion of the entire population, as adherence to it is required for citizenship. There are no non-Muslim citizens of Thuraakunu. Thuraakunu is governed under the Islamic Sharia Law policies.

Lily pad nation Volaworand

Ceremony Interrupted!
- Jack Tung, Amanda Shi
Lily Pad’s official Volaworand medal ceremony is interrupted by a dashing frog in Lily Gardens Thursday night.
Lily the Pad has carelessly given away medals in the past for mundane reasons, but the government has recently sought a solution by ratifying her decisions with an official ceremony.
The first every ceremony was set to award Volaworand the title and medal of Spring Peeper.
“We consider Volaworand a well enough friend to gossip with,” Lily said in clarification of what the title means.
As the Grand Pope Frog was about to crown Henry Davis, who is the acting scholar on all things Volaworand, with the medal, a loud pop was heard from out of the crowd.
Dapper man and federally employed Wizard Renigár Flipómáa appeared, snatching the medal, and kidnapping Henry Davis.
Not much is know about how or why such an event occurred, but police are investigating the situation. So far Renigár Flipómáa is in hiding, and has not released his reasons for interrupting the ceremony but anti-Volaworand sentiment is suspected.
“We we’re doing a ceremony thing,” Lily Pad said, “cool, I guess, but I’m sure the title alone is worth it.”
We may not be too sure your paddyness. We just can’t be too sure.
I can't remember the names, because I can't find them anymore in my notices...
But thank you, anyone who upvoted Oppy!
Oppy Thanks you.
Oppy is glad it is remembered by you.
You are the best.

Hai, TSP citizen I am sorry for releasing my election campaing very late.But I am happy for finishing the campaign.
THE SOUTH PACIFICis the 2nd largest region in NS but the broadcasting system is very old. Only regional dispatch is the official site for announcement.Therefore, the newbies cannot get time to time detail as they don't know about it very clearly.Currently, New haudenosaunee confederacyis typing newspaper but it is not official.Thus NHC newspaper must be made as official newspaper of TSP.This will be immediately made if I get elected.
Citizen's Of TSP Please vote me as I am running for the first time in LC election.
THANK YOU
Upvote the cereal... or else....
We've seen an Egg, Cheese, Telegrams.
Well I'm just gonna fix this and stay with the breakfast food theme.
Upvote the Cereal!
As all of you know or may not know :( I am running for LC a position of which I would be honored to get the chance to fill. The South Pacific is a special place full of amazing and special individuals and nations. Of which I have gotten to know over the many years, and hope to continue to maintain awesome relationships with. I am running because I have not held this role before, I would like to contribute more to the South Pacific, I am online actively and the South Pacific is something that is important to my life, and I would like to put my energy that in already actively spending on the South Pacific into doing better things.
I would like to see the South Pacific continue to bring in new nations and people, continue to be a fair and democratic region, continue to have engaging and active roleplay.
I pledge to be fair, reasonable and to not judge people, I expect each and every member of the South Pacific to respect each other even if someone shares a different view on something.
The South Pacific is the best region for a reason. Let's continue to make sure that it stays such.
I do not endorse bullying I will crush bullies!
I want to ensure that the South Pacific continues to grow and attract new nations that will be positive influences.
I want to maintain positive useful polls, ones that the people want. Polls that matter.
I want to vanquish any and all disrespectful nations and individuals from the South Pacific, I have no tolerance for any kind of hate.
Remember everyone, the people in the South Pacific matter more than the people they elect, the people hold the voice and power, elected officials just serve to interpret and put into play what the amazing people of the South Pacific desire.
Commonwealth Of Astoria
Now, you may ask, how is someone who is not qualified to run, isn’t in the running, and has no desire to run, participating in the election.
The answer is simple.
I’m not.
Because I’m lazy.
I might need some help with it, so if you have ideas for any plots, characters, subplots, character arcs, melodramas, or anything, I will do my best to see if it works.
My idea: (loosely)
Life is peaceful in TSP, with the occasional killing or throwing off a cliff, maybe skinning a fox, but it is pure fun and repressed sadistic urges.
Until one day Midand comes up with this dispatch about this Death Count. It hits big and TSP enters an extreme holocaustesque massacre.
Everyone is killed, and everyone kills. However there are common killers who always attack. The survivors( surprise surprise us with reviv-o-matics) devise a plan.
They plan to capture the killers, then sedate them and destroy the Death Count and all copies. This doesn't work. Auphelia kills them too. She breaks the reviv-o-matic, and no one is alive.
Or so it seems, because The Solar System Scope and Estania (I can't spell your name, TNP'er) ran away the morning before they left. They refuses to come out of hiding, for fear of dying yet another time. They cry and cry, and give away their position. They fight some unnamed killers with random household items, but can't keep on. They decide to run away nation]Estantia[/nation] in TSSS' arms as they run away some more.
Finally they find an abandoned grave yard full of reviv-o-matic builders who also specialize in other machines for survival. This is where they find East lodge and Sword of summer making plans for something strange, and they don't know what it is.
They find Concrete Slab scoping the area armed with flamethrowers and blades, watching for something to fight.
So the furballs stay in the robots' place for a while while they build their tools and lay low so Auphelia trusts she can relax for a little bit without interuptions.
They look around the area, and find pictures of many different people. When Estantia asks who they are, they all find out they are people who the robots have tried their best to protect, but they never came back. They suddenly get artificially sad and try to carry on with the reviv-o-matics, first aid kits, potions, rays, and armors.
The floofballs decide to leave for a little bit to get fresh air and to let everyone else forget about the moments before. They find and old SPIT shop and rob the place, only to find someone there. They can't trust anybody at this point, so they run away crying. This is when they spot Concrete Slab and they want him to protect them. He picks up Estantia and starts singing some video game music, and they blow their cover. The floofs get scared, but CS charges at the hyped killers.
He utterly slays them. The floofs are scared of course. They find East Sakhlin's brownie shop. They decide to buy some brownies, since there was someone there before in the SPIT shop.
They loose control and order a ton of brownies. Like a lot. They start to get sick and high, and they loose consciousness. They wake up in a cell, and Concrete becomes a brick, and hops in the wall, so it can look like someone escaped. Estantia crawls away out of the cell, and The Solar System Scope clings to the unseen ceiling. Guards pass the door, and think it's accidently locked. They open the door and walk away, whistling a tune and spinning the keys in their fingers.
The gang then leave together and find they were in Jaxon's house. They were locked in the basement; East Sakhlin took them to Jaxon's basement, to be tortured by him and his friends, Yansu, Totally not east lodge, New Haudenosaunee Confederacy, and the other torturers in the RMB, I mean region.
So Concrete gives the others weapons and fights everyone, but he goes down, leaving everyone to their own devices. They run.
They run to a cave, and camp there.
The robots back in the graveyard wonder if they should hang up a picture yet, but they decide to wait a week.
The floofs find a banquet hall, but say they are Auphelia.
They are thrown out the window.
The screen moves towards the floor below, where the servants are given scrapes and unwanted bits.
They are then killed by Kerlodia, who rampages in and shoots them all.
Kerly talks to the floofs and finds out they want to get back to the Graveyard.
She tps them back.
They all stay there for a little bit, and Kerly then turns East, Concrete, and Sword into Kawaii Neko People, and they hate it.
"You're so cute! I love it!"
They give TSSS and Estantia the gear, and they have a mini fashion show. Then they're off to fight Auphelia.
Concrete turns back to normal with a ray, and helps them train.
They then come fight Auphelia. They make it to the castle to fight, and there they find Poppy sitting watching with popcorn. "Eeeeee!" "I can't wait! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!"
They fight Auphelia, and lose (I can't do anything with fight scenes... sry)
They save the day, and revive everyone. Everything is now at peace; and the Death Count is gone.
Note: This is bad. I just had to write something down before I forgot it all. I'll fix it tommorow, and it will be better
1. What sets you apart from just another generic candidate?
I have more experience than most of the candidates (other than CS and Auphelia), and I am focusing on promoting WA, forum, and RMB activity, instead of just one.
2. What is your proudest moment on NS?
My proudest moment on NS was getting elected into the Local Council.
3. What is your least proudest moment on NS?
My least proudest moments on NS were probably my first 20 or-so posts, as they were unbelievably cringy.
4.Is there an aspect of TSP that is gone that you would like brought back? If so, why?
I need to place blame in part on myself for this one: RMB games. At the beggining of my previous term, I played maybe 3, then realised how hard it was to do on an active RMB. Hopefully this term, I will try to do them once a week, and in Psomewhere.
5. Is there any aspect of TSP that is gone that you would like to never come back? If so, why?
I haven't really seen much that has left that I don't want to bring back.
6. Will you buy Zess a coffee for providing you with free advertisement?
Uh...sure. What would you like?
1. What sets you apart from just another generic candidate?
TLDR: I can suppress illegal posts that aren't suppressed by other LCs, and I often do things with the community. (sorry I typed a lot lol)
One way is that I am more likely to keep the RMB more moderated. As you most likely know, I am the writer of Southern Daily News, so I read literally everything. The current LC only suppressed posts they're online for, which is not good for people (like me) who read every RMB post and it's also not good when looking back on older parts of the RMB. Because I read everything, I find most illegal posts. If you need evidence of this, then here are some examples: 1, 2, 3, and there's definitely more. Another way is that I've been active in the community for over a year now, and I've done various things that people have cared about or at least noticed, including Southern Daily News (with the Obituary and Challenge of the Day), various coding projects relating to NS, which include https://nationstates-custom-census--crystalliccoder.repl.co/ custom census stats , https://nationstates-wiki-generator--crystalliccoder.repl.co a Wiki factbook generator , a https://nationstates-live-rmb-feed--crystalliccoder.repl.co/ live RMB feed , and I'm currently working on a card battle game using the NS trading cards owned by a nation. I've also participated a lot in RP, both character-based and nation-based, participated in the SPSF, and made horrible roses are red poems, which would eventually become something more community members would do.
2. What is your proudest moment on NS?
I have about 20 proudest moments in NS. Well, not really, but I've done quite a lot of things I consider a proud moment. I'd say my proudest moment would be actually moving to TSP. Other proud moments for me could be when I got my card of Fudgetopia, when I joined the SPSF Reserve (which is kinda dead now), and when I started Southern Daily News.
3. What is your least proudest moment on NS?
Probably back when I was in the WA and I submitted horrible proposals.
4. Is there an aspect of TSP that is gone that you would like brought back? If so, why?
Techolandia's organized and structured RP. I found it to be quite fun. I tried to keep it alive by remaking his 26x TSSS RP dispatch, but all this kind of RP died with Techo's nation. I don't have to be an LC to do this, obviously. My idea is to have planned RP events where nations are given a scenario and maybe they have a couple hours to RP it or something, with me to moderate godmodding. Of course, I, once again, don't have to actually be an LC to do this, but it's still a fun idea and I'll probably start doing it after the elections of people want to.
5: Is there an aspect of TSP that is gone that you would like to never be brought back? If so, why?
Yes. http://tspforums.xyz/thread-6620.html Defamation , or anything close to it. If everybody misinterpreted posts of a user to mislead people on their political views, then people would probably leave TSP and think we're all communist, or something like that, which is obviously not ideal.
6: Will you buy Zess a coffee for providing you with free advertisement?
Coffee sucks. Besides, I can advertise myself, and I think that's also illegal...
...
(3) If found guilty of any other crime listed above, the Judiciary will determine a sentence. The sentence must be proportionate to the offense.
1. What sets you apart from just another generic candidate?
I'm the RMB's most beloved penguin corporate overlord! As an LC candidate I'm not promising the sun and the moon: I'm simply vowing to show good judgement. To me the main role of the LC is to ensure the RMB is safe and fun. I will maintain a calm, clear head when wielding the moderation power. The RMB is like a loud bar where people are coming and going all the time, and I think that as long as people are having a good time then we're doing great as a region. Regional Journalism, Polls, events, integration with forumside, all of these things are to help make and keep the region fun and welcoming, so as a member of our Local Council I will enthusiastically boost and support everything fun.
2. What is your proudest moment on NS?
Every day is a new adventure in TSP: I try to simply Embrace the Entropy and see where things go.
I suppose becoming our regions first nation to endorse 1000 nations in September 2018 would be my proudest moment. I love that our region is getting serious about endorsements and I think that the SWAN program will lay a lot of important groundwork in TSP's role in the wider Nationstates community. Our Southern World Assembly iNitiative can really lay the groundwork for our regions future: we stay safe and secure, grow the influence of our Delegate's vote in the Assembly, support our regions proposal authors, and make our enemies quake with fear at the mere whisper of our name... all these things become possible with a strong SWAN.
I think winning 2017 Christmas writing competition in the advent calendar that year was an important early milestone for me. I was still a relatively new nation and it was the first time I'd really tried anything like that, and the encouragement from my region-mates was very gratifying. I've recently been playing around with graphics programs, and so when my humble creation won the Holiday flag last December, it gave me another confidence boost. Those moments are very special to me because I was able to learn and try new things.
3. What is your least proudest moment on NS?
I aim to live life according to the "Absolutely No Regrets" … although when I look back on some of my early dispatches with massive textwalls followed by huge images, I do get embarrassed by how weird or just plain ugly some of those came out.
4. Is there an aspect of TSP that is gone that you would like brought back? If so, why?
I miss the TSP SlowNews and would love to help bring that back.
While it's not really gone, I really want to get some sort of new geopolitical knowhere storyline going again. The "SPIT wars" economic roleplay we did in 2017 (modelled on the 1980's Coke/Pepsi Cola wars) and the months long "Hermit Dominion" roleplay (allowing me to flesh out the rise of Russian-style corruption in my lovely little Westminster parliamentary democracy) that we did in knowhere were so much fun and really lead to huge amount of nation and world building for so many players involved. I'd like to work with the amazing roleplayers in our region and support new folks interested in trying their hand at roleplays that feature collaborative storytelling.
5. Is there an aspect of TSP that is gone that you would like to never be brought back? If so, why?
When people cross the line from being fun and silly to being mean-spirited it makes my blood boil. While that aspect of human nature never really goes away, I think our region does a good job of shutting down personal attacks, hate speech and just plain mean comments.
6. Will you buy Zess a coffee for providing you with free advertisement?
No, I certainly couldn't bribe or influence a member of the media. I'm incorruptible!
And, just so you know, I'm completely unaware of the fact that the Kentucky Fried Penguin Political Action Committee has already paid you a handsome consulting fee. That dark money has absolutely nothing to do with my campaign.
1. What sets you apart from just another generic candidate?
I’m very much devoted to NS and this is my third time running. Though, I didn’t get on twice. So, I’m really determined this time and I feel more proactive in general. I will take the time that I can to take in suggestions and I will work for TSP’s needs in general to adhere to the largest amount of nations possible.
2. What is your proudest moment on NS?
My proudest moment would be getting the 10,000th post. It was really fun and very much an honor to get the first post on that page. There’s nothing much else like it.
3. What is your least proudest moment on NS?
Probably when I was being harassed by a certain person who I shall not name. But that was a long time ago, and I’ve moved pass that.
4. Is there an aspect of TSP that is gone that you would like brought back? If so, why?
It’s not that I want to bring something back, rather try something out that can get everyone involved. I want to create a new non-cannon RP with a new map and everything! I feel that here is a severe lack of opportunity for smaller nations in TSP to get involved within the geopolitical RP due to the massive globe-spanning imperialism that’s present. So, I propose that we create a new RP to get more nations involved.
5. Is there an aspect of TSP that is gone that you would like to never be brought back? If so, why?
Hmm.... I’ll think about that.
6. Will you buy Zess a coffee for providing you with free advertisement?
Actually?
1. What sets you apart from just another generic candidate?
I am newest nation among all
2. What is your proudest moment on NS?
I am newest nation among all
Arrive to TSP
3. What is your least proudest moment on NS?
None at the moment
4. Is there an aspect of TSP that is gone that you would like brought back? If so, why?
However,I dot not know the past of the TSP
5. Is there an aspect of TSP that is gone that you would like to never be brought back? If so, why?
The same af the 4
6. Will you buy Zess a coffee for providing you with free advertisement?
Yes
1. What sets you apart from just another generic candidate?
I'm a person who has been deeply ingrained in this community - over a year now with this nation, and maybe more if you count Martigues - and I understand how things have been going on around.
2. What is your proudest moment on NS?
That time in another LC election where someone decided to use WA puppets (the thought scares me) to vote for me, and I denounced that guy. Felt really good doing the right thing, even if it meant me losing.
3. What is your least proudest moment on NS?
I can't really say. I've had some embarrassing moments but I guess it was that one time I asked for commemorative coins on the RMB... 'twas very cringe-worthy.
4. Is there an aspect of TSP that is gone that you would like brought back? If so, why?
It's hard to say this as well, as TSP feels the same way it felt all the way in July of 2017 (aside from any government restructuring, which most likely was during my hiatus).
5. Is there an aspect of TSP that is gone that you would like to never be brought back? If so, why?
Spam. Good meat but bad posts. I'm happy that I haven't seen any in a long time, meaning that the LC is doing their job well - which is another reason I want to contribute.
6. Will you buy Zess a coffee for providing you with free advertisement?
I wish I could, but I don't wanna be charged with bribery... *slips one in your coat pocket*
1. What sets you apart from just another generic candidate?
I feel I'm willing to follow my beliefs, even if others disagree with them.
2. What is your proudest moment on NS?
My proudest moment? Either getting elected to LC the first time or when SC Resolution #271 passed.
3. What is your least proudest moment on NS?
When I got charged with corruption.
4. Is there an aspect of TSP that is gone that you would like brought back? If so, why?
I feel that organized roleplay had disappeared from the region. I just want to bring it back to help the older nations cope and facilitate involvement with new nations.
5. Is there an aspect of TSP that is gone that you would like to never be brought back? If so, why?
Mudslinging... *cough* Techolandia *cough*
6. Will you buy Zess a coffee for providing you with free advertisement?
I would buy Zess a coffee even if he wasn't giving me free advertising! :)
1. What sets you apart from just another generic candidate?
I am a rather, if I dare say so myself, unique individual. I also have more experience than most, and I do think my staunchly pro-RMB stance is a rarity in a day and age where the Forums and Discord rule the higher channels of politics. I have no current aspirations for higher office. This is not a stepping stone for me; it is the highest honour.
2. What is your proudest moment on NS?
My interview with Erinor for the regional newspaper was perhaps my proudest moment, next to when I was elected a Local Councillor. I remember nearly choking to death on a sip of water when I read he wanted to interview me (me!), and I still have the link in my bookmarks.
3. What is your least proudest moment on NS?
Anything before my brief hiatus in the summer/early fall of 2017. I was relatively new to this social aspect of the internet and tried to be the loudest person in the room. It was a challenging time for all. I am actually the reason Knowhere and Psomewhere exist.
4. Is there an aspect of TSP that is gone that you would like brought back? If so, why?
I don't think so. Everything evolves, and TSP should be no different. As it changes, we need to be ready to face new challenges, not try to bring back old things that we have moved past.
5. Is there an aspect of TSP that is gone that you would like to never be brought back? If so, why?
Let's never go back to the days of you-know-what.
6. Will you buy Zess a coffee for providing you with free advertisement?
Of course not! What do I look like, some sort of billionaire! Begone, beggar!
1. What sets you apart from just another generic candidate?
I prioritise my positions and what I plan to do to help TSP over the flashy formatting used by many others. I also will also specifically help with WA endorsements - I feel that this is very important.
2. What is your proudest moment on NS?
The moment I felt proudest was earlier this month, where I went to the Swan Awards and endorsed everyone there. Helping TSP's WA endorsement count and bringing together the region made me feel like I really had a place here.
3. What is your least proudest moment on NS?
Honestly, I can't think of anything to put here.
4. Is there an aspect of TSP that is gone that you would like brought back? If so, why?
The past is the past. Anything that TSP has left there is there for a reason. I strongly believe that TSP is currently by far stronger than it has ever been. I would bring nothing back.
5. Is there an aspect of TSP that is gone that you would like to never be brought back? If so, why?
While I stand with my above statement, I don't think we should completely shut the door on any idea. I wouldn't say that there's anything that should never be brought back.
6. Will you buy Zess a coffee for providing you with free advertisement?
Don't do drugs, kids. Replace coffee with endorsing everyone you can find. Replace cocaine with updating your nation's factbook.
1. What sets you apart from just another generic candidate?
Just a little difference, as I don:'t have any initial plan to reform TSP but if I get elected then I get to know about problem and I will tackle it.
2. What is your proudest moment on NS?
I can't say as there are a lot, but when I received the telegram from legislator committee that my application has been accepted I felt very proud as I became a legislator in NS 2nd powerful region.
3. What is your least proudest moment on NS?
Nope
4. Is there an aspect of TSP that is gone that you would like brought back? If so, why?
The guide lines provided to newbie of TSP are not proper and RMB should be moderated as offensive words are used in it.
5. Is there an aspect of TSP that is gone that you would like to never be brought back? If so, why?
Our old region members who had turned as Ex-nation or the departed ones for other regions as they provide us golden ideas and opinion.
6. Will you buy Zess a coffee for providing you with free advertisement?
Sure why not, not one if I get elected I will buy you 2 coffee
I suppose I'll throw them in for good measure, RON, the collection of all that is evil in the world!
1. What sets you apart from just another generic candidate?
I am of the most inconvenience out of all of them.
2. What is your proudest moment on NS?
Causing pain among all associated with the elections.
3. What is your least proudest moment on NS?
Not winning the elections.
4. Is there an aspect of TSP that is gone that you would like brought back? If so, why?
Not having elections.
5. Is there an aspect of TSP that is gone that you would like to never be brought back? If so, why?
The absence of me.
6. Will you buy Zess a coffee for providing you with free advertisement?
No. I will buy myself one but not you.

I'm delighted to have been elected to succeed the wonderful Pencil Sharpeners 2 as Minister and applaud PS2 who did an excellent job during his tenure. I hope to be able to continue his excellent work at keeping us entertained and informed.
I am excited to work with the Ministry and the Cabinet and if you would like to join us, details are below.

My hope is to ensure that all areas, RMB, Forums and Discord are able to participate fully.
I look forward to serving you

English
Deutsch
From Middle English Germanie, from Old English Germania, from Latin Germānia (“land of the Germans”), from Germānī, a people living around and east of the Rhine first attested in the 1st century BCE works of Julius Caesar and of uncertain etymology. The exonym was said by Strabo to derive from germānus ("close kin; genuine"), making it cognate with "germane" and "german", but this seems unsupported. Attempts to derive it from Germanic or Celtic roots since the 18th century are all problematic, although it is perhaps cognate with the Old Irish gair ("neighbor").

Hello, Citizens of Pawnee . . . I mean TSP! How are you feeling today? Good? Great!
My name is Auphelia, and I hereby announce my candidacy for the TSP Local Council! Now, some of you were not around for my first (and only!) term as a Local Councillor of TSP, so let me give you a quick summary of where everyone was at, emotionally, during my tenure!
Are you all caught up? Great! Now, I have some great new ideas for the region (and by region I do mean the RMB and whatnot) that I am sure will delight and amaze, as well as some great reasons to vote for me, which I am so excited for you to hear! Or read. As this is a dispatch. Are you ready for my list? Okay then! My history in the LC is still spoken of today . . . in positive ways, I am sure. And if not, well . . . In my last term as LC, back in the storied time known as Spring of 2018, the RMB was a different place. Erinor was Delegate, lampshades and SPIT were distributed to all new nations, and . . . well it wasn't that different. Regardless of any similarities between then and now, I was a champion against the scourge of double posting, was on the front lines of nearly every conflict against spammers when they dared tread within our RMB, helped drive our RMB posts to new heights (good or bad, who's to say?), and managed to scare new nations with my tentacular awesomeness! The other candidates, on the other hand . . . weeeelllll . . . it's not that I don't trust the other candidates . . . it's just that I don't have faith in them. Also, I'm beginning to forget who the other candidates are. Now, I do know I was accused of such things as overly harsh enforcement and corruption in my last term, but I would like to point out that those charges were dropped and one of my main detractors CTE'd in a very non-suspicious way, so it's all fine. Everything is fine. I am usually active or observing the RMB at some point or another, and in the event of a troll raid or a spam session, no one has ever accused me of being a hesitant suppressor, if you know what I mean. But don't worry. I can be calm. Cool. Collected. So vote for me. It's all right. Activity is key to a healthy region, and TSP has plenty of it! In fact, we have so much that encouraging people to join in is like encouraging small children to eat sweets! The LC has no need to encourage people to be more active. Instead, we need to focus and direct existing activity into productive outlets. I am really good at making things sound good! You should just go ahead and stop reading now, go vote for me, and call it a day! After all . . . Polls, for one, are one of the best ways to get people to talk! What option did you pick? Why did you pick it? Well that's interesting, but . . . Luckily for all of you, I am the self-described Queen of Polls! In my tenure as LC, there was not a single day that the region went without a poll! I can guarantee that a vote for Auphelia is a vote for more polls! I was an excellent Local Councillor in terms of polling! I was a poll icon! I have to admit, though, I don't have many ideas beyond that. I do think games like geography or cinema trivia are fun, and as an LC I would like to run some, but life can be so hectic and player schedules so disparate that I think it would be wrong of me to promise something like that when I don't know I can deliver. I can, however, promise to work with the ideas of any citizen or work with a fellow LC member on their ideas into something feasible we can do for the region! Some may say that this means I am simply stealing their idea, but I prefer to think of it a different way. I absolutely love the RMB, and there is not much more I can say about that. This RMB is like the waffles of TSP, the people are the friends, and the Forums are the work. The RMB or the people are the best, and the Forums are definitely third. I mean, I could definitely do well in the Forums. I could crush the Forums under my heel and become the Diabolical Dictator of TSP. After all . . . However, in the waffles, friends, work balance of TSP, one thing stands true. This section doesn't really have a point, I just wanted to point out that the RMB is the best, and therefore being an LC is the greatest thing that could ever happen to me in NationStates. No pressure. Now, here is a list of things I like. - More fox parks - Improve intergovernmental agency communication - Legalise Korean . . . people - Total control of government functions by LC members with nation names starting with "A" - Getting rid of lead pipes - Require flattering mirrors in public restrooms Just remember, TSP, I love you and most of all . . .

Volaworand 4 LC Q&A! You got questions! We got something to say (or at least some whimsical gifs!)
Thanks for the question! I'm a regular in The South Pacific, having been founded here over a year ago and, after a CTE absence, returning last September. TSP has always been my home, and I love our fun and offbeat culture. I'm on Nationstates a lot (like more than I sleep lots) and so if I'm not kicking around for at least a few hours every day please call my next of kin to have them check in on me.
I'm very active on the RMB, with the 7th highest post count, and an active legislator on our offsite forums.
Kentucky Fried Penguin's for everyone! As you may know I've operated a nationstates Global Economics and Trade storefront thread for over a year, and while I am by no means an expert I'm familiar enough with the medium to help nations find what they are looking for, and am happy to help out with any questions about the Nationstates forums. I'm my TSP-as-utopia fantasy I would create a TSP specific directory of storefronts and business dispatches to aid and promote our regions economic roleplays. *hugs*
yes, please! I'd love me some South Pacific Iced Tea. Oh ... you mean hot water strained through dry leaves? Well, I guess... Sure, I am always open to trying new things ... bring it on! *hugs*
Random question, but if I had to guess I would place that as the years between the WWII years and the Post-stonewall Civil Rights Era, I suppose.
I smashed down and roasted marshmallows over the scraps of my own closet doors in the 1990's, so it has never meant anything bad to me in a long, long time. Yes, as an old Canadian married guy in his 40's I'm apparently quasi-ancient by nationstates standards …
hey...
Hey! You Durn kids!
Git off ma lawn!
*grumble*
Where was I? Nevermind, I'm having a senior moment. or a stroke.
The point is I'm hip and with it... I can discuss the finer points of Madonna dance remixes with you for hours and hours if you like, just don't get me started on the little monster poser.
You certainly are trying, but it's part of your charm. And you keep out bidding me on TSP cards, lol! *hugs*
I myself try hard to promote our regions SWAN initiative to promote the World Assembly membership and participation and increase endorsements within our region. I was the first nation to crack 1000 endorsements given in a single month (No, No! Go ahead, check the Sept 2018 awards dispatch... I'll wait)
All nations will continue to have freedom of movement regardless of whether I am elected to our Local Council or not. The Local Council has suppression, polling and some other consitutionally limited powers. The banhammer is not an LC power. Feel free to poke around our lovely region. *hugs*
If a nation is behaving strangely in our region I would first seek to open a dialogue with them: a friendly warning ends most misbehaviors. While disturbances can be disruptive in the RMB, our Local Council has suppression powers in order to tamp down harmful rhetoric and keep the peace in the region, which of course I would not be afraid to use if needed, subject to a standard RMB moderation policy jointly be agreed upon by the new local council. I am pleased with current guidelines, but would like to see the moderation of posts occur more often. I think we have a very solid group of folks running and am confident I can work well with any of them.
Does that accurately cover your question? No.
Well, in a true paranormal emergency I suppose my calls would be to:
Ghostbusters;
the Council on Regional Security;
Nationstates Moderators: Angels beat ghosts every time.
That information can be found in my main overview factbook, but here you go:
Volaworand Geography
Land Area: 1.82 million km²
(700,000 mile²)
- Glacial Ice Cover: 98.9%
- Exposed Rock: 0.7%
- Thin soils: 0.4%
Water Area: 1 million km²
-EEZ (200 miles)
-Continental shelf claim undefined
Elevation
Highest Point: Mount Jackson
3,184 m (10,446 ft)
Lowest Point: South Sandwich Trench
Southern portion at 60°00'S, 024°W,
depth of 7,235 m (23,737 ft)
I strive for realistic, cooperative roleplays, and play a small, peaceful trading nation of 19 million with a small military and global outlook.
I do get a little addicted to dispatch publishing. (This is Q&A dispatch is my 215th one.) I would be happy to put my dispatch publishing passion to work for the region. I already try do my small part by highlighting news dispatches written by TSP nations on a semi-regular basis with my humble Volaworand Newswire service.
This question has dogged humanity for millennia. If elected to the LC I will devote every necessary and available resource to resolve this dilemma once and for all. We shall spare no expense: even if it means the local council has to sleep under benches and our delegate is reduced to living a palm-thatched cabanna on the beach. Well that or I might ineptly attempt to use one to ineffectively heal the dead in our RMB.
Do you mean a generic cookie cutter campaign dispatch, maybe with some fancy rainbow fun! colours? No, probably not.
This is my first time running, and I'm intentionally trying to stand out from the crowd. Perhaps you've noticed some of my campaign dispatches, making use of classic cinema speeches? Why just file a Conflict of interest Statement when you can have your puppet shout at the election Commissioner "Outta order? I'll show you outta order! You don't know what outta order is, Mr. Tsunamy!"
Our voters have plenty of campaigns to support, and I encourage voters to review the campaigns of all the candidates.
Thank-you for the campaign question! It's clearly magic, you muggle!
I am here to teach you using a Ministry-approved method that does not include inviting students to give their opinions on matters about which they understand very little. Your previous teachers in this subject may have allowed you more licence, but as none of them – with the possible exception of Professor Quirrell, who did at least appear to have restricted himself to age-appropriate subjects – would have passed a Ministry inspection... *voice trails off*
Thanks for taking the time to read my campaign materials. Feel free to tag me in the RMB, or send me a in-game telegram if you have any questions. *hugs*
I humbly ask for your vote and I hope to be working with any of the other fine folks running. If I'm not your cup of SPIT then hey, that's fine - no hard feelings! I'll get you my pretty, and your little dog too! oops, wrong movie! nevermind
I'm sure TSP has someone running who makes your TSP heart soar with new hopes and dreams (or at least someone you trust to keep the RMB safe and welcoming)! Keep TSP weird!

- Volaworand Newswire
Hello and hugs to you! I'm seeking your support in my first run for The South Pacific Local Council. I've lived in our region since late 2017 and I love and crazy welcoming and murderous Regional Message Board community. While some campaigns will promise you the sun, moon and stars, I have a one main reason you should vote for me:
Good Judgment: What the heck does that mean, you silly penguin? What would you accually do?
That means exercising fair moderation of the RMB without killing activity. I don't care about double posting, but I would suppress triple posts, hate speech and spam. I would make sure we always have entertaining regional polls, and enthusiastically encourage gameside activity.
I know our region has been gone through debates over the place of roleplay in the main RMB and feel have a good balance. Our roleplaying sub-regions (Psomewhere and Knowhere) see quite regular activity and the current policy of 7 or 8 posts seems to work fine. Of course, if the new LC jointly wishes to adjust this, I will gently encourage roleplays move to the 'wheres. I love doing nation based roleplay in our knowhere region (and the occasional one-off's here and there) and will continue that regardless of the election outcome. I think if we want people to roleplay in the 'wheres we should give people a reason to use them by regularly starting storylines that draw people in. The 'wheres are not where roleplay is supposed to go to die, but to go to thrive.
I'm a compulsive dispatch publisher, and am always available to help nations crafting dispatches and factbooks that reflect their vision for their nation. I read (and upvote) every single dispatch published in TSP and highlight the news in my (semi-daily) Volaworand Newswire. I support improving our regional journalism and hope to restart & maintain the TSP Slownews if elected.
My other TSP passion is our Southern World Assembly iNitiative (SWAN). I strive to endorse everyone in the region and I was the first nation in our region to endorse over 1000 nations in a single month. Since then I consistently maintain endorsements of at least 98-ish percent of the region (while I hunt for the few I've missed). I recently exceeded our endorsement cap, so I left the WA for all of 5 minutes (it was horrible) so I could restart collecting endorsements but maintain the endorsements I've handed out. I think the SWAN initiative is a key part of building a close-knit, integrated and secure community, and a necessary step to help us retain nations who were lucky enough to spawn in our region, and attract new nations.
While I consider the RMB my home, I'm also a legislator on our offsite forums and participate actively and independently in our region's politics. I think it's important for everyone on the LC to be familiar enough with all aspects of our regional government to be able to connect nations with the resources we have to offer. Also, as a very active poster on our RMB I will promote the current initiatives, votes and events and festivals happening in the other half of our region.
I've become completely hooked on the Nationstates trading cards and am slowly building my TSP collection. I absolutely love being able to showcase the amazing diversity of our region. If I've gone quiet on the RMB I'm likely lurking while watching an auction closely. Or maybe eating... sometimes I even go to work or sleep, but TSP is always huge part of my day. I'm here for several hours a day, every day.
I encourage you to explore my campaign dispatches, and telegram or tag me in the RMB if you have any questions. I keep adding new ones, drumming up hype for our campaign and the best online community I've been honoured be a part of. Thanks for your consideration.

It's Official! With 50% of the huge turnout, I've secured the first seat of the three on our Local Council.
A victory dispatch will be posted shortly.
I'll be voting Concrete Slab in Round 2, and Auphelia in Round 3. I'd be happy to have you (and everyone in TSP) join me in supporting these two fine nations.
Feb 25, 2019:
I've managed to garner the support of 47 of the 99 votes so far. I really want to get over 50% on the first round now, so I shall make one last desperate, eleventh hour gesture to woo TSP voters with a heartfelt song.

So far so good. I suppose I better finalize my candidate Conflict of Intrest filings, by issuing a declaration of my puppet nations and history in other regions. I should have a puppet present this. That could be fun.

Feb 16, 2019:
With the initial response positive it was time to begin to differentiate my campaign. With a couple of the declared candidates having been dragged before the high court over the past year by another cantidates, corrpution allegations are bound to be touchy issue in this campaign. I should probably work to defuse the potential tension with some humor.

I had sat on the sidelines of every election but my sadness, disappointment and frustration 4 months ago has motivated me to explore a run for office myself for the first time. Once the Call for Nominations was issued I put out some feelers and had a few discussions with people in the region.

With apologies to Charlie Chaplin
Charlie Chaplin's first talkie, The Great Dictator (1940), is loved and loathed in equal measures, but is an outstanding film in many respects. Although some would say Chaplin, after staying silent for so long, now talked too much, you can't argue that he used sound to great effect and made the transition rather better than many of his contempories.
The film includes many classic scenes of comedy - especially the interplay between Hynkel and Napaloni - but it also has serious undertones. You must remember that this film was made when Adolf Hitler was in power and World War II raged across Europe. It was a brave film to make at the time, though upon learning later of the horror of the concentration camps, Chaplin confessed that he wouldn't have made the film with this knowledge (the same thing Hergé said about his Quick and Flupke/Hitler cartoons).
The speech that ends the film is quite famous and even controversial - for some it is overly sentimental, for others it is a real message of peace from a man that the whole world would listen to. Chaplin was asked to repeat the speech on national radio. It may seem a bit dated now in it's style, but it's still sadly apt for the world today.
The plot before hand concerns an innocent Jewish barber (Chaplin) who ends up being mistaken for the Ptomanian dictator Adenoid Hynkel (also Chaplin). He soon finds himself dressed in the fuhrer's outfit, on a platform facing 'his' army, and expected to make a rousing speech to spur on the evil genocide and invasions.
"I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an emperor. That's not my business. I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible - Caketalists, Pieletariat - new nations - ancient nations.
We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other's happiness - not by each other's misery. We don't want to hate and despise one another. In this region there's room for everyone and the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone.
The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way. Greed has poisoned nation's souls - has barricaded the world with hate - has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical; our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.
The RMB and the offsite forums have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in man - cries for universal brotherhood - for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world - millions of despairing men, women, and little children - victims of a system that makes nations torture and imprison innocent people. To those who can hear me, I say: 'Do not despair.' The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of nations who fear the way of human progress. The hate of nations will pass, and dictators CTE, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as nations CTE, liberty will never perish.
TSP! Don't give yourselves to brutes - those who despise you and enslave you - who regiment your lives - tell you what to do - what to think and what to feel! Who drill you - diet you - treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder. Don't give yourselves to these unnatural nations - machine nations with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are nations! You have the love of humanity in your hearts. You don't hate, only the unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural!
TSP! Don't fight for slavery! Fight for liberty! In the seventeenth chapter of St Luke, it is written the kingdom of God is within man not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people, have the power - the power to create machines. The power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful - to make this life a wonderful adventure. Then in the name of democracy - let us use that power - let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world - a decent world that will give our region a chance to work - that will give youth a future and old age a security.
By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfil that promise. They never will! Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people. Now let us fight to fulfil that promise! Let us fight to free the world - to do away with unnatural barriers - to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason - a world where science and progress will lead to all nation's happiness. TSP, in the name of democracy, let us all unite!

Official Document and Message from The Eurasian Monarch | Eurasian View on The Philippines Dispute between East Sakhalin and South Caleblan | The Eurasian Government
by The Federal-Monarchical Republic of United Europe-Eurasia
Message Directed to East Sakhlin, South Caleblan, and The sakhalinsk empire
King Morris has officially spoken on the South Caleblan-East Sakhalin Phillippines Separation.
As we are going into the next quarter of politics and are witnessing several changes around the world, The UEE has noticed a Double Claim of The Philippines that could cause several issues over sovereignty, everyone has their own views amongst these new changes but The UEE is here to make these changes as stable as possible.
The Philippines is planned to be split into half, with a shared Administration located in Manilla after the collapse of Independent Philippines back in January, East Sakhalin gained full sovereignty over The Philippines in January as their Population Issue has begun to cause overpopulation on The Sakhalinsk Island.
The UEE thinks in a whole that a shared administration would be best if the two governments ceded their sovereignty to become a Bicameral Legislation and form a larger government. This could decrease Land Disputes and help for less foreign confusion in the long run.
The UEE is willing to sign an agreement with East Sakhalin and South Caleblan to form two separate regions, such as a IRL situation like The United Kingdom, South Caleblan and East Sakhalin are still their own countries but are a united kingdom with there sovereignty merged.
United Europe-Eurasia is very aware that this change may cause confusion, but it could also weaken the chance of a hard border, while also decreasing the chance of strained relations between the two nations.
A large agreement may be necessary, and a capital change for both nations to be combined in one may be necessary as well, but The UEE believes that this could be the best for both nations.
The Bicameral Legislation could be named as The House of Sakhalinsk and The House of Caleblan, but changes may be fitting for both nations to agree.
To finalize this Official Document, we would like to let The International Community know that this is our sole opinion on the current Philippines situation at its earliest stages.
We ask The Sakhalinsk Empire to calm its standards on its core treaty with East Sakhalin until this merge or separation is solved.
We wish all Eurasians the best and The Eurasian Government wishes the best for you and your family, best wishes!

THE THANJAVUR HERALAD
I am Tamil, a resident of the South Pacific and one of you. I am an legislator in this region. Currently I am running for LC election. I am a Kid in this region and I want grow to get experience, thus I am contesting election. If you want a kid to get a good experience, then vote me.You can or cannot vote vote as it is accordance to your wish but I am only saying you options.
It is the official announcement made by Emperor about contesting in election. The tiger is the official symbol of Emperor Palace.
There are many wonderful and exciting candidates for the Local Council, however, here are some reasons for why you should vote for me, HN!
My first course of action is making my own little LC Newspaper, like Midand’s retired one. But not. I’ll be open to name suggestions.
From Zess: Hullo, HN. In regards to the upcoming local council elections I was wondering if you could take a bit of your time to answer a couple of questions. These will be shown on a dispatch along with the responses of all other LC candidates who respond. If you would like to opt out just tell me. You have 24 hours from the time of writing this to respond. Thanks!
1. What sets you apart from just another generic candidate?
2. What is your proudest moment on NS?
3. What is your least proudest moment on NS?
4. Is there an aspect of TSP that is gone that you would like brought back? If so, why?
5. Is there an aspect of TSP that is gone that you would like to never be brought back? If so, why?
6. Will you buy Zess a coffee for providing you with free advertisement?
Response: 1. I’m very much devoted to NS and this is my third time running. Though, I didn’t get on twice. So, I’m really determined this time and I feel more proactive in general. I will take the time that I can to take in suggestions and I will work for TSP’s needs in general to adhere to the largest amount of nations possible.
2. My proudest moment would be getting the 10,000th post. It was really fun and very much an honor to get the first post on that page. There’s nothing much else like it.
3. Probably when I was being harassed by a certain person who I shall not name. But that was a long time ago, and I’ve moved pass that.
4. It’s not that I want to bring something back, rather try something out that can get everyone involved. I want to create a new non-cannon RP with a new map and everything! I feel that here is a severe lack of opportunity for smaller nations in TSP to get involved within the geopolitical RP due to the massive globe-spanning imperialism that’s present. So, I propose that we create a new RP to get more nations involved.
5. Hmm.... I’ll think about that.
6. Actually?
I will make sure that it doesn’t reach the levels of spam, but the current levels appear to be under control. I may ask several others to factor in opinion for a more comprehensive approach, for a better resolution. But I’m open to these sort of things, and I’ll regularly keep tabs on these things for future notice.
We then decided to try a new test: removing a soul, then making the subject a cyborg. The scientists who ran the tests found all 20 subjects, with their souls removed and with the robotic parts put in, lived. But some didn't, and that was because there were occasional bug;, but that happens all the time.
We will now focus on this aspect on why does this work.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
East Lodge needs a good government to take care of its lovely people. It also needs amazing civil rights and political rights. A week ago a poll stated East Lodgeans wanted to become a Liberal Socialist Democratic Socialist; as always, for the people and their happiness.
This will be a bumpy ride and transition to a new life. It will be complicated and emotional for all East Lodgeans. But your queen wishes only the best for her AI nation. Many votes and meetings have planned, in detail, how to do this.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Decree
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We will as a nation...
Work our way back to an Unoffensive Centrist State, to get in the middle.
The next thing we will do, my faithful pretties, is go left instead of right: we will become a New York Democracy State.
The next movement will be further to the left to the Liberal Democratic Socialist.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Policies
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Policies will change, but we came prepared. The ideal policies for East Lodge
We will officially become a Monarchy.
We will disband all punishments involving death.
We will disband all bans on automobiles.
We will bring back the judical system.
And we wil conform to leftist beliefs.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Morality
We will change things around here, as well.
We will make the life span of an average citizen rise to as high as we will allow it to grow.
We will abolish disappearance and suicide while in police custody
We will *try our best to* abolish murder.
We will try our best to smuther down heart disease as much as possible. Our people's lives matter most.
We will put our people's health and well being before all else. Economy, unbelievably, will come second.
Sleazy politicals won't make it here. Only just ones will rise to the surface of corruptions.(just according to the belief that civil rights are vital for any nation.)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Expendure
We will control our funding to support the following:
* Education
* Healthcare
* Administration
* Enviroment
* Law and Order
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Government
We, as a nation will:
* build up the government to the point that state owned industry and the closely standing black market currently rests: ~86.3%
* have ~23.7% worth of private owned industry
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trends
We will:
* focus Economy to ~90%
* focus Political Rights to ~80%
* focus Civil Rights to ~60%

We tested consented humans and animals (the animals got consent from people), and we put them in a machine that by supernatural magic, absorbed the soul out of the specimens. The lack of souls made the specimens immedietely die. Even after inserting the soul once again, the specimens did not wake up.
To conclude, the soul must be a key component to living beings; one's soul is like a lung, a heart, or a brain. Without it, the person will have a time frame to be helped, but you can put it back in time, and hopefully save someone.
Unfortunately our machines were too slow to revivve the test subjects. We will not forget the deceased subjects, as we will strive to build a faster and safer machine.

CRS wiretap transcript (probably faked) of a secret meeting of Volaworand's LC exploratory committee Raw feed here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B34sntIgI4gDon Volaworandleone: Why did you go to the off-site forum's High Court? Why didn't you come to me first?
Don Volaworandleone: What is that?
Don Volaworandleone: That I cannot do.
Don Volaworandleone: We've known each other many years, but this is the first time you ever came to me for counsel or for help. I can't remember the last time that you invited me to your house for a cup of SPIT, even though my spouse is godparent to your only child. But let's be frank here. You never wanted my friendship. And, uh, you were afraid to be in my debt.
Don Volaworandleone: I understand. You found paradise in TSP, you had a good trade, you made a good living. The police protected you and there were courts of law. You didn't need a friend like me. But, now you come to me, and you say: "Don Volaworandleone, give me justice." But you don't ask with respect. You don't offer friendship. You don't even think to call me Godfather. Instead, you come into my house on the day my daughter is to be married, and you ask me to do murder for money.
Don Volaworandleone: That is not justice. Your daughter is still alive.
Don Volaworandleone: [shakes his head ruefully] NHC, NHC. What have I ever done to make you treat me so disrespectfully? If you'd come to me in friendship, then that scum that ruined your daughter would be suffering this very day. And if by chance an honest man like yourself should make enemies, then they would become my enemies. And then they would fear you.
Don Volaworandleone: Good. Someday, and that day may never come, I'll call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day, accept this justice as a gift on my daughter's wedding day.
Don Volaworandleone: Prego. [New Haudenosaunee Confederacy leaves, and Don Volaworandleone turns to Kerlodia] Give this to, uh, Aidenfieeld. I want reliable people, people who aren't going to be carried away. After all, we're not murderers, in spite of what this undertaker thinks.

Now back to the NPO,
Apparently again someone has been banned for yeeting.
Jar yeetin has been banned for saying "are yeets legal" and got his post suppressed and himself banned.
Jar Wattinree probably got triggered while doing this.
So apparently now in the Pacific, you could be banned for yeeting.
Now for the exciting dark secrets of the forums, hidden from normal viewers.
About the forums they have no privacy in there. All your activity is tracked. From what you're viewing, to the list of usernames that are online. It's easy to be followed.
The profile shows everything about you. From what you're viewing to you're "reputation" it shows the suspicion and its will to go to drastic measures to keep its power and to remove dissent.
There was even a comment I found on a forum topic reply of citizen application that proves the point while I was browsing.
Then I found another where a guy gave these questions in a npo citizenship application
Now back to NS, the chess tournament is going and it's going fierce in the Pacific.
Airengrad beated Glelian 1-0 and since Glelian didn't want another game Airengrad will be put into the semifinals.

We found a soul of an archdemon and the soul of a fox; the fox soul was spliced in halg due to the fact the fox needed its soul.
What is interesting is the fox appeared to die after losing its soul, but then got back up when its half of its soul was put back.
This begs the question "why?" Our scientists are now on the case...
We will start immense study and research this following week, and we will keep the people updated.

These coins were made by the Noldorin Elves while under the rule of Celebrimbor, the great Elven-smith and forger of the Rings of Power. The coins take the shape of the holly leaf and are struck in varying metals to distinguish their denominations.
The Fall Leaf in copper is the smallest denomination
Next is the Winter Leaf in silver.
Next is the Golden Summer Leaf.
The Spring Leaf in Mithril is the largest denomination. It's worth ten times as much as the golden Summer Leaf.
There are inscriptions on the front and back of each coin. These coins are struck one at a time using antique machinery and traditional coining techniques.
Materials:
Struck from solid copper, brass, niobium, and .999 silver
Woo at the Zoo
Birds do it. Bees do it. Even Red Pandas do it. Celebrate Valentine’s Day at the National Zoo as we discuss “love” in the animal kingdom at Woo at the Zoo.
As part of the Royal National Zoological Park’s commitment to the conservation of wildlife, the Zoo invites you to enjoy spirits and desserts while the Zoo’s staff present engaging expositions on animal courtships and other interesting factoids – from the humorous and tawdry to passionate and subtle. This adult-only Valentine’s event allows guests to discover the importance of the Zoo’s breeding, birthing and rearing programs. Following an intimate brunch at Krill Grill, guests will receive a guided tour of the National Zoo’s vet hospital, and meet and greet with our animal ambassadors! Presentations regarding animal breeding in zoos, up-close animal encounters and other animal-amore-related activities.
New this year, in preparation for the Zoo’s spring exhibit, Dino Discovery – They’re Back!, we will also explore love in prehistoric times. Woo at the Zoo will feature a special presentation by Donna DeLorey, also known as “Doc Dino,” who will discuss Rex Sex…When the Earth Really Moved, a presentation on mating and courtship among the dinosaurs.
This event is open to singles and sweethearts. Also include hors d’oeuvres, SPIT, beer, wine, and a souvenir champagne flute and penguin hug photo.

OK Next thing, we're taking you into the dark secrets of the npo website. They have the own website known as the NPO Forums . If you click the link you'll go to the npo website see nothing, that's because you must sign in or register to see anything in the forums. So you end up having to register an account. Once you made an account, the forums will be totally visible for you. Here's a snapshot of the fourms.. The forums seem to report everything that's going on, from newest member to what the person's viewing. And obviously it's better not to go into the forums as the Pacific is very untrustworthy.
Now the forums contain roleplay, general discussion, and many other more stuff.
We went to the Flag booth of the forums and what we found was shocking. There were dozens of pictures showing real people holding up flags of the NPO in real life
Here's a flag on the wall
And even a family in the NPO which's just getting sick.

The World Assembly,
Recalls the history of the prior "Condemn The Pacific" resolution, which was repealed based in large part on The Pacific's apologies for the conduct of its government, the New Pacific Order (NPO), during the New Lazarus Order (NLO) coup of 2015,
Notes recent evidence such apologies were hollow, due to the continued infiltration of the sinker regions Osiris and Lazarus by notable members of the New Pacific Order (Feux through its puppet Adytus, and A mean old man through its puppet Wrektopia),
Recognizes this body's long history of using condemnations and liberations to combat philosophies and movements featuring dictatorial leadership, authoritarianism, aggressive foreign policies, deceitful propaganda, controversial intelligence operations, and valuing individuals based on national or regional origin instead of on their own merits,
Asserts the history of the New Pacific Order of The Pacific is one of aggression, with powerful members linked to coups in The North Pacific, The South Pacific, and Lazarus, and the ongoing forced exile of Topid from St Abbaddon,
Observes the government of The Pacific relies on the heavy hand of authoritarianism to strangle opposition and unacceptable speech within the region, and uses ejections to disenfranchise World Assembly Member Nations concerned with the region's policies and track record,
Aware the NPO has frequently engaged in highly controversial intelligence operations, including the aforementioned infiltration of Osiris and Lazarus,
Appalled by the narrative advanced by the NPO's ideology, "Francoism," which preaches distrusting certain individuals based on their origins and homes, rising far beyond reasonable security and to a level of unacceptable fear mongering used to justify the horrible conduct of the institutions of The Pacific,
Remembers this body has condemned regions for their aiding and harboring of nations associated with or guilty of the destruction of regional forums,
Outraged that Pergamon and Feux were made aware King Bradley was responsible for the destruction of regional forums and aided King Bradley by keeping this a secret, allowing King Bradley to continue to secretly reestablish connections with the NationStates world,
Concludes that contrary to past false apologies and propaganda, The Pacific is a region that is aggressive, authoritarian, deceitful, and advances dangerous ideologies that seek to divide NationStates and instill fear in all,
Hopes for the destruction of the New Pacific Order, and its replacement by a government that ceases terrorizing its own members, and various targeted groups across NationStates,
Hereby Condemns The Pacific.

Oppy did good, it really did. It had a month's worth mission, and it kept going for 15 years.
Unfortunately a dust storm came... and it sent the message: "My battery is getting low, and it is getting dark." It could feel its lights dim as its 15 year old journey came to an end; it's really something that it could recognize its life was over.
Looking at my nation, you would see it would only right to say something about this.
Opportunity did good- no- great. Oppy did great out there.
And with this, we close the curtains and we figure out what to do next.
Goodbye.

Volaworand announced on Wednesday that he is forming an exploratory committee to consider a Local Council bid.
"I'm going to run for Local Council of The South Pacific," the Canadian Penguin, 44, said on VBC's "TSSS Fox and Friends."
In a clip of his taped interview released online ahead of the show's broadcast Wednesday evening, Volaworand said he is forming a exploratory committee "tonight," garnering big cheers from the audience.
"As a your LC penguin, I’m going to fight for other people’s kids as hard as I’m going to fight for my own, which is why I believe that meaningful work should be a right and not a privilege. It's why I believe we should have better working conditions for all our kids, because it shouldn’t matter what feeder block you grow up on," she said. Supporters waved pro-child labour placards reading "Real work. Real wages."
Volaworand, a longtime target of women who has been vocal in the #MeToo movement, also vowed to take on "institutionalized patriarchy," "corruption and greed in TSP," and the "special interests that write legislation in the dead of the offsite forums."
"I know I have the compassion, the courage, the blinding rage and the autocratic determination to get the job done," he said, "Anyone who stands against me will sleep with the fishes."
Filing paperwork with the Election Commission for an exploratory committee will allow the penguin to raise and spend money like a LC candidate, before officially entering the race. Candidates are supposed to take this step within 15 days of raising or spending more than $5,000 on a potential bid. Volaworand has been hiring campaign staffers, renting out a campaign headquarters, collecting dirt on opponents and is planning a trip to Knowhere this weekend.
He promptly tweeted out a new campaign website, which solicits email addresses, bribes, donations and resumes for potential staffers.
Volaworand's campaign will focus on him as an advocate for the disadvantaged and downtrodden, a leader on death hugs in debates, and a fierce opponent of the lower case t rebels, a campaign official told VBC News on Tuesday. In particular, voters can expect to hear about the penguin's efforts to reform and expand the handling of suppression in the RMB, a proposal to protect endangered drama llama's, and his efforts to encourage silliness and pointless drama in TSP politics.

That our communities have, with legal sanction granted through insincere representation, been plundered and exploited throughout history for our labor and resources, resulting in the degradation of our communities, culture, and environment.
That repeated attempts to remedy these crimes and receive justice through legal channels have been met with degradation, violence, oppression, and further injustice against us.
That our communities cannot be expected to suffer further obvious injustice at the hands of a militarized alliance between Industry and State.
That a just and peaceful outcome can only be realized if a complete and irreparable break be made between local institutions of democracy and hostile, outside powers which have consistently violated those institutions.
That to achieve this end, the communities of Norfolk and Sutton, and surrounding communities who choose to do so in the exercise of their democracies, shall henceforth become independent republics, free from the jurisdiction of larger federal states, and absolved of all oaths to said former states.
That these communities shall make good faith efforts in further Conference to form a more permanent Constitution.
That in the infancy of autonomy, these communities shall respect human rights set forth by the World Assembly until a more permanent Constitution is democratically ratified.

Well, here we go again...
This is gonna be... interesting. We'll see how it goes.
Heya! For those who don't know me, I'm your resident sentient building material, CS! This time, I'm running for reelection so I can continue serving the good people of TSP! When I won the LC election at the beginning of last term, I was honestly pretty surprised. While I went into the term inexperienced, I now emerge much older and wiser, ready to continue my service!
-For a little over a year, I have been in TSP as an active member, seen on the regional message board at least once per day.
- I am a leading member in the World Assembly in TSP, usually in the top ten for endorsement count and endotarting performance. I even wrote Security Council Resolution #271, showing I have experience in the WA! (Don't know why that matters... lol)
- I have served as a legislator in the TSP forums for four months and have voted on many crucial pieces of legislation.
- I am an active member on the TSP discord.
- I am the TSP ambassador to the LCRUA!
- I have sent many regional telegrams promoting the forums and telling the populace of important announcements.
- Made some SUPER fun polls
- I've served on the Local Council! (Of course) XD
My term has been... quite interesting. Anyway, here's what I want to do next term!
- Continue welcoming new nations to the TSP!
- (This may not go over well but...) Try and transfer roleplay to their designated regions more often!
- Continue my STELLAR rmb moderation! (:/)
- Make some more most excellent polls!
- Play lots of rmb games!
- Make sure that TSP is a welcoming place for new nations!
TSP is my home away from home, and I want to continue making it yours too!
We start off with this breaking statement from one of the NPO Officers,
Jar Wattinree actually claims that the NPO is authoritarian on an RMB Post.
Although saying it's not fascist, this just confirms much of the opposition force of the NPO.
As many claim of the NPO regime as a very tyrannical and unreasonable.
Furthermore the Jar Wattinree has banjected a nation known as Nenelia for "supposedly recruiting" but more for dissent as the nation wasn't really recruiting and just urging people to get out of the Pacific.
Here's the full message:
Greetings members of the Pacific, I am here with a message for all of you. As you may or may not have known, the regime currently controlling your region has recently suffered declarations of war from some of the most prominent regions and alliances in the game, including but not limited to, The Black Hawks (a prominent raiding organization), the Augustin Alliance (a group of regions banded together for social interaction as well as defence), Osiris (a game created region where nations which cease to exist due to inactivity are reborn when the player becomes active again), Balder (same thing as Osiris), and many other regions, some small, some large. Why is this, you may ask? Well, this is due to the disgusting ideology the regime controlling your region has. This ideology, called Francoism, believes that regions created by you, the players, are inherently worse than game created regions such as the one you are in right now, and seek to stamp them out. What’s more is that they have already invaded and subjugated numerous regions created by players. In the name of decency, I urge you to either leave the Pacific immediately or attempt to oust the current regime from power. If you end up leaving or getting kicked, I would recommend you come to Anteria. We are a casual, laid-back, fun roleplay region where people can hang out, talk on our discord, and have a genuinely fun time. I for one have had a wonderful time since I joined (insert your region) on May 7th, 2017. We hope to see you join our region in order to weaken the Pacific’s regime and bring about the downfall of a disgusting fascist ideology which has rooted itself inside NationStates.
And finally there's a chess tournament going on in the Pacific
The chess tournament has 11 nations participating.
Here's the list the link to the tournament is here:
Glealian
Airengard
Zoudha Dar
The Planet Rann
Mayo and the other condiments
Foxotania
Catholic Communist Jerusalem
Ferret lands
Norwany
Shnaliland
The Nox Empire
So far Airengard, Catholic Communist Jerusalem, and The Nox Empire have moved to the second round
Now here are the nations that have been ejected and banned from the NPO today:
Ortisian vessel 25
Nenelia
There's also another one but that nation has been deleted by the moderators.
Now all of you have heard the notorious NPO. Known for its malicious activities and other things that could disturb you. Well I'm going to write dispatches about things going on in the NPO for all of the South Pacific away from what the francoists will tell you.
This will help gain insights into what the NPO does and to reveal the things going on in the NPO.
Wish me luck.

Act I
The Narrator, Aumeltopia introduces four characters who each have a wish: Lily pad nation wishes to attend the Delegate's festival; Pencil Sharpeners 2, a simple poor boy, wishes that his cow, Snow White, would give milk; a Baker, The Solar System Scope and his Wife, Si-topia, wish they could have a child; and 073 039 109 032 080 111 112 112 121 wishes for bread from TSSS to take to her programmer's house. ("Once Upon A Time").
PS2's weary mother, Treesil, after having to kill their last chicken for meat and finding they have finally run out of the small pittance their father left before he died, nags him into selling the cow. Meanwhile, across the Forest, Lily's stepmother, Quiescent, and stepsisters, Saxavo and Estantia, tease Lily about wanting to attend the Delegate's festival.
TSSS's neighbor, an ugly, tentacled old witch named Auphelia, reveals that the source of the couple's infertility is a curse she placed on the TSSS's line after catching his father stealing her bamboo, including six magic bamboo sprouts. Auphelia also took TSSS's father's newborn child, Beepee. She explains the curse will be lifted if TSSS and Si-topia can find the four ingredients that Auphelia needs for a certain potion; "a cow as white as snow, the cape as red as blood, hair as yellow as teeth, and a slipper as pure as gold," all before the RMB updates at midnight in three days' time. All begin their journeys into the Forest—PS2 goes to The North Pacific market to sell his beloved Snow White, Lily's family rides to the Delegate's festival while Lily, left behind, goes to her mother's grave to ask for guidance, 073 goes to her programmer's house hidden deep in the middle of the Forest, and TSSS, refusing Si-topia's help, goes to find the ingredients for Auphelia's potion ("Into the Forest").
Lily visits her mother's grave by a pond of her own tears accumulated over the years, and receives a beautiful gown and golden slippers from her mother's spirit ("Lily's Pad At The Pond"). PS2 encounters Erinor, who mocks him for trying to sell his cow for more than a "hunk of bamboo" and then vanishes. 073 meets a hungry Curlyhoward, who convinces her to take a detour on her way to her Programmer's, trying to seduce/eat her (The role of Programmer is also played by Quiescent, but the role will heretofore be known as Programmer to avoid confusion with the Stepmother) ("Hello, Little Android"). TSSS and Si-topia squabble over her presence in the Forest, but they come across PS2 with Snow White. Not having the money necessary to buy the cow, they convince PS2 that the six bamboo sprouts TSSS has found in his father's old floof are magic bamboo sprouts, and buy the cow for five of them. PS2 bids a tearful goodbye to his cow ("So Long, Old Cow"), and TSSS orders Si-topia to return to the village with the cow. He has qualms about being so dishonest, but Si-topia reasons that the chance to have a dragon-fox child justifies their trickery ("Maybe It's Maybelline Magic").
Aupehelia has raised Beepee as her own son, keeping him locked away from the world in a tall tower accessible only by climbing Beepee's long, golden hair ("Our Little World"). But this day a handsome prince, Volaworand, spies the beautiful Beepee and resolves to climb the tower himself. In another part of the Forest, TSSS has tracked down 073. Following Auphelia's advice, he attempts to simply steal the red cape 073 wears to keep dirt out of her processing unit, but her ensuing temper tantrum guilts him into returning it. When 073 arrives at her programmer's house, she is swallowed by Curlyhoward. TSSS, in pursuit of the cape after forgetting his guilt, slays Curly, pulling 073 and her programmer from the beast's innards. 073 rewards TSSS with the red cape, reflecting on her new experiences ("This Now Computes"). Meanwhile, Treesil angrily tosses the bamboo aside upon learning PS2 traded their cow for five measly shoots, which later grow into an enormous stalk overnight, and sends her son to bed without supper. As Lily flees the Delegate's Festival (pursued by a handsome princess, Havenfell), Si-topia runs into her and helps her hide, quizzing Lily about the ball. Lily explains that it was a nice ball ("A Very Nice Princess") but seems nonplussed by the experience, wary of Havenfell's overt advances. As a giant bamboo stalk begins to sprout from the ground next to PS2's cottage, Si-topia spots Lily's pure gold slippers. She tries to chase after Lilu but inadvertently allows Snow White to run off, leaving her without slippers or the cow. The characters each state morals and credos as the first midnight chimes ("First Midnight") and they continue their journeys through the Forest.
The next morning, PS2 describes his adventure climbing the bamboo and finding the upper echelons of the South Pacific's regional security forces in the clouds ("Giants in the Sky"). He finds TSSS and gives him five Drama Llamas he stole from the CRS to buy back his cow. When TSSS hesitates, PS2 climbs back up the bamboo to find more. Erinor emerges and taunts TSSS, stealing the money and flying off on his one wing. Si-topia confesses she has lost the cow, and she and TSSS split up to look for it. Lily's princess (Havenfell) and Beepee's Prince (Volaworand), who are siblings, meet and compare the their newfound and unobtainable amours ("Agony"). Si-topia, who is eavesdropping, takes note when Volaworand mentions that he is in love with a man in a tower with hair "as yellow as teeth." Si-topia fools Beepee into letting down his hair by telling him that she is his prince, and pulls out a piece of it. Meanwhile, Erinor returns Snow White to TSSS to repay the Drama Llamas.
Si-topia and Lily meet again, and Si-topia makes a desperate grab for Lily's shoes, almost succeeding before Lily flees, weirded out by the crazy lady trying to steal her shoes in a dark Forest. TSSS and Si-topia reunite, now with three of the four items. TSSS admits that they will have to work together to fulfil the quest ("It Takes Two To Make A Thing Go Right"/ "It Takes Two To Make It Outta Sight"). PS2 arrives with a hen that lays golden eggs and attempts to buy Snow White back, but the cow suddenly keels over dead as midnight chimes, obviously done with being some sort of MacGuffin, and not even the only one. Again, the characters recite morals ("Second Midnight"). Auphelia discovers that Volaworand has been visiting Beepee and, in fury and anguish, demands that Beepee stay with her so she can protect him from the outside world ("Stay with Me"). When Beepee refuses, the Witch cuts off Beepee's hair and banishes him to a desert ("Fly, My Pretty"). Erinor shows up once more and gives TSSS the money to buy another cow. PS2 encounters 073, who is now sporting a stooge skin cape and a large knife for protection. She goads him into returning once again to the CRS' home to steal a magic harp ("I'm A Troll, LOL").
Lily, returning from the last night of the Delegate's festival, describes how Havenfell spread pitch on the stairs to prevent her from escaping. Caught between wanting to escape and wanting to stay, she eventually resolves to let Havenfell decide, leaving her one of her slippers as a clue to her identity ("On the Steps of the Palace"). As Lily escapes to the Forest, Si-topia frantically tries to convince her to give up her other shoe, offering her the sixth magic bamboo sprout in exchange for it. Lily throws the bamboo aside, but trades shoes with Si-topia and flees. TSSS arrives with another cow he bought with the Drama Llamas Erinor gave him; they now have all four items. A searcher for the slipper, the Princesses's Koala, Sanjurika, grabs the slipper from Si-topia as evidence, and they are fighting over it when a great crash is heard and Treesil runs in to report that there is a dead CRS member in her backyard. Havenfell, more concerned with finding Lily, waves her off and departs with one of the slippers she found on the steps of her palace, giving the other to TSSS and Si-topia. PS2, to his mother's relief, returns with the magic harp.
TSSS and Si-topia summon Auphelia, and discovers that the new cow is unsatisfactory, as it's a regular cow which has been is covered with flour. However, she is able to resurrect Snow White and instructs TSSS and Si-topia to feed the other ingredients to the cow. PS2 then tries to milk her, but no milk comes. Auphelia demands to know what ingredients were used, and Si-topia reveals where she got the yellow hair, and Auphelia furiously explains that she, as the subject of her mother's curse, cannot have touched any of the ingredients that will break it. Erinor appears once more and tells TSSS to feed the hair-like corn silk from a cob of corn he hands to TSSS to the cow. Now Snow White gives milk, which is the potion. Auphelia, satisfied, reveals that the Erinor is the TSSS's father, and she has allowed him to help his son as penance for his crime. Auphelia drinks the potion. At the chime of the third midnight Erinor falls dead, his reparation complete, the curse is broken, and Auphelia regains the beauty she had before the curse, shedding her tentacles and becoming filled with the dewy glow of youth.
Lily's princess searches for the girl whose foot fits the slipper; her stepsisters try but can only get it on by cutting off parts of their feet ("Careful, My Toe! "). Lily appears, her foot fits the slipper, and she becomes the princess's bride. Beepee pines in the desert where his Prince, Volaworand, finds him. Auphelia attempts to curse the couple, but with her own curse broken and bereft of her tencalces, her powers are gone. At Lily's wedding to Havenfell, Saxavo and Estantia are blinded by a swarm frogs as they try to win Lily's favour. Si-topia, now very pregnant, thanks Lily for the slipper. Everyone is at the wedding. Everyone but Auphelia and the stepsisters congratulate themselves on being able to live happily "Ever After," though they fail to notice another bamboo sprout growing sky-high...
Act II
Aumeltopia, the narrator, introduces the action again: ("Once Upon a Time . . . Later") All the characters seem happy but are still wishing: Si-topia and TSSS have their precious baby, but wish for more room and bicker over TSSS's unwillingness to hold his child; PS2 and his mother are rich and well-fed, but PS2 misses the CRS' kingdom in the sky; Lily is living with Havenfell in the Palace, but is getting bored. ("So Happy").
Everyone is suddenly knocked over by a loud crash. The enormous foot of a CRS member, Kringalia, has destroyed Auphelia's garden, sparing only a few bamboo sprouts. TSSS and Si-topia decide that they must tell the Delegate and his Ministers, and TSSS travels to the palace. His news is ignored by Tsunamy and Havenfell, and also by Treesil when he stops at her house to ask for PS2's aid. When he returns home, 073 arrives on her way to Programmer's: her house has been destroyed and her mother is missing. TSSS and Si-topia decide to escort her. Meanwhile, PS2 decides that he must slay Kringalia and Lily learns from her frog friends that her mother's grave was disturbed and decides to investigate, dressed in her old rags. Once again, everyone heads into the Forest, but this time the mood is sombre, for "the skies are strange, the winds are strong" ("Into the Forest" Reprise).
Beepee has also fled to the forest in a hysterical fit, driven mad by his treatment at Auphelia's hands over the years. Volaworand has followed him, but when he encounters his sister, Havenfell, who is searching for Lily, they each confess they have another reason for their presence in the Forest. They have grown bored and frustrated with their marriages and now lust after two beautiful women asleep in the forest - Alice Parker and Fudgetopia ("Stealing Never Felt So Sweet"/ "Agony", Reprise).
TSSS, Si-topia, and 073 get lost in the forest and find Lily's family and Sanjurika the royal koala, who reveal that the castle was set upon by Kringalia. Auphelia arrives as well, bringing news that Kringalia has destroyed the village and TSSS's house. Suddenly, thunderous footsteps are heard and Kringalia appears. To the shock of all, this CRS member is a woman – widow of the CRS member that PS2 killed. Her booming voice proclaims that she wants PS2's blood in revenge. To satisfy the Kringle, the group realises they must give her someone, but are unable to decide on whom until they realise that Aumeltopia is still commenting on the actions from the sidelines. Everyone offers Kringle Aumeltopia as a sacrifice, but Aumeltopia convinces them how lost they would be without them. Nevertheless, Auphelia throws Aumeltopia into the Kringle's arms and they are killed by being dropped. Treesil finds the group and aggressively defends her son, angering Kringle, and the koala clubs Treesil to quiet her, inadvertently killing her. As Kringle leaves to search for PS2, Beepee runs into her path and is trampled, to the horror of Auphelia ("Auphelia's Lament").
The Delegate and his Ministers continue on their way, fleeing despite the TSSS's pleas for them to stay and fight the CRS. Auphelia declares she will find PS2 and sacrifice him to Kringle, and TSSS and Si-topia decide they must find him first and split up to search. Si-topia meets Havenfell, and the princess rapidly seduces her ("Any Moment"). Meanwhile, TSSS discovers Lily at her mother's ruined grave and convinces her to join their group for safety. Havenfell, satisfied, leaves Si-topia with a few platitudes, and she reflects on her adventure of the forest and her return to domestic life with family ("Moments in the Forest"). However, she has lost her way, stumbles into the path of Kringle, and is consequently killed by a falling tree.
TSSS, 073, and Lily await the return of Si-topia when Auphelia drags in PS2, whom she found weeping over Si-topia's body. The grief-stricken TSSS unwittingly agrees to give PS2 to Kringle and the CRS, causing an argument. The characters first blame each other for their predicament, until finally they all decide to blame Auphelia for growing the bamboo in the first place ("Your Fault"). Disgusted and fed up, Auphelia curses and scolds them for their inability to accept responsibility, throwing away the rest of her magic bamboo sprouts. This brings her mother's curse on her again, and she gains her magic once more, vanishing away from the Forest. ("Last Midnight"/ "A Tentacled Terror").
TSSS flees, but is visited by Erinor's spirit who convinces him to face his responsibilities ("No More"). TSSS returns and helps plan killing Kringle, using Lily's frog friends to choke out the CRS member by shoving themselves down her throat in area smeared with pitch, where PS2 and TSSS can finally deliver a fatal blow. Lily stays behind to protect TSSS's child and when Havenfell passes by, she nearly fails to recognise Lily. Lily confronts her, having learned of her infidelity from her frogs, and Havenfell explains her feelings of unfulfillment and her reasons for seducing another woman. Lily asks Havenfell if she will help kill Kringle with TSSS and PS2, but Havenfell declines. Lily asks her to go, and Havenfell sorrowfully leaves.
Upon returning to Volaworand, Alice Parker, and Fudgetopia, she discovers that Kringle has already eaten them. The CRS member picks Havenfell up, demanding to know where PS2 is. In fear, Havenfell tells where Lily said TSSS and PS2 would be, not mentioning the trap, and is then eaten by Kringle.
073 returns to Lily with the news that her programmer had been killed by Kringle, and she had discovered the bodies of Quiescent and the stepsisters in the forest as well, crushed to death under Kringle's feet . Meanwhile, TSSS tells PS2 that his mother is dead. PS2 vows to kill Sanjurika the Royal Koala, until TSSS convinces him that will not benefit anyone, and they return to Lily, having set up the trap. Lily comforts 073 and tries to address her qualms – does killing Kringle make them no better than she is? TSSS and Lily explain to PS2 and 073 that everyone is connected, and their choices have consequences ("No One Is Alone").
The four remaining characters slay Kringle and the deceased characters now including the Delegate and his Ministers (who were raided by The Black Hawks).
The survivors resolve to band together and rebuild. The spirit of Si-topia appears to comfort her mourning husband, advising him to tell their child their story. TSSS begins to tell the child the story of the play, while Auphelia appears with the final moral: "Careful the things you say, Children Will Listen." ("The Witch's Farewell").
All join in on a last reprise of the title song, surmising that we all must venture into Forest while remembering that at any moment a rogue CRS member might come down from on high and banject hundreds of tiny nations on a mere whim.

THE UNITED CHINESE REPUBLIC
On 8 April 2029, President Son Ryo-Gan created the nation's first Ministry in the Executive Yuan, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The current Minister, Qin Wuying, has created an embassy program to further increase relations with other nations. Here is a list of embassies to and from the UCR.
Due to bureaucracy, new embassy creation was delayed until June, when Qin Wuying switched priority from the SCCW to more peaceful relations.
Country | Date Established | Date Closed | Embassy from the UCR to the Country | (Chief) Ambassador | Embassy from the Country to the UCR | (Chief) Ambassador | Notes |
10 April 2029 (10 February 2019) | --- | East Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk | (none) | Nanjing | (none) | ||
21 June 2029 (12 May 2019) | --- | Timurovna | (none) | Nanjing | (none) | Includes a trade deal | |

THE NIKKEI 255
We at the Tokyo Stock Exchange are proud to announce that our systems, more colloquially called internationally as the Nikkei (which is actually our stock average, similar to the Dow Jones), are now accepting international currencies for conversion. This is the list of all currencies and their conversion to the US dollar. This list is sorted from strongest to weakest.
To convert, take the value in the first currency, perform the opposite equation of that on the right (e.g. divide by 20 if it says multiply by 20) to get the value in USD. Then, perform the actual equation on the right for the second currency. For example, if I want to convert 100 CYN to RBL, I should do:
100 / 32 = 3.125
3.125 / 3.1 = 1.0080
Nation Name | Currency Name | Currency Code | Amount Equivalent to 1 USD | Conversion Equation (up to the 4th Decimal Place) |
Rouble | RBL | 0.3225 | 1 / 3.1 | |
Skarlagen Vix | SKV | 0.529 | 1 / 1.8901 | |
Laverian Vix | LAV | 0.5383 | 1 / 1.8576 | |

I heard that we'll have time travel in 2030...
And I don't know if it's real...
But I'm scared!
Time isn't really a conscience thing; it's a human system that varies depending on where you go. Time isn't real. At least I don't think it is...
I came to the conclusion that things happen, like the Big Bang happened, causing the universe to become a thing. The solar system was eventually built, then earth had its phases before becoming inhabitable.
Then basic organisms grew, and watch the rest of Bill Wurtz's video for that. But we eventually learned how to watch the sun and moon and stars. We built systems to meet each other at the same time, instead of hoping someone was there, or waiting all day.
We could finally be together as a society. Without that, it doesn't exist and we would still be dumb animals who had no explanation for anything, expect eat or be eaten. Or look at me, I'm so pretty. Or... mmm look at that bird I'm gonna kill...
I mean we still think that way, more or less...
Does time have a fesable existance, I don't think so.
I haven't done enough research.
So there was this supposed and self-proclaimed "time traveler". He took a polygraph test, and belief it or not he was in fact from the year 2030, as the machine did not catch him lying. He said that time travel will be invented in 2028... and he had a device in him hand that let him time travel; and all of which apparently came true on the polygraph.
All of this is coming second hand, and I have no sources. But Google exists, and my words sound pointless. Hopefully they don't.
There was someone else who claimed to be from 2556, I believe. He had said many things, but he also showed a picture of a city built in the future. Also he wouldn't give the details to his time machine, since he couldn't let it get into the wrong hands.
Yeah this is wierd. I'm confusion and a half. Time travel seems as real as the multi-universe theory; both seem incredibly strange and unrealistic. The Multi-Universe theory is merely a demonstration, and you can't do anything with it except maybe make a movie about the idea. Same goes with the time travel. It's odd, and there are pictures, but y'know anyone can pay people to dress up to look from the 50's, as one guy has a cell phone, and then edit the picture to look old and black and white. It's just wierd to me.
And don't forget about the already existing ideas about time travel:Paradoxes, worm holes, whole universes being destroyef because someone ruined time forever! Is that possible? Has it been a thing to have existed already? I don't know, but sources claim time travel is nigh.
Hail to Thee in Victor's Crown (Heil dir im Siegerkranz )
Hail to thee in victor's crown,
Ruler of the fatherland!
Hail to thee, emperor!
Feel in the throne's glow
The high ecstasy in full
To be darling of thy people!
Hail to thee, emperor!
Neither steed nor mounted knight
Secure the towering height,
Where princes stand:
Love of the fatherland,
Love of the free man,
Create the ruler's throne
Like crags at sea.
Holy flame, glow,
Glow and expire not
For the fatherland!
Then we all stand
Valiant for one man
Gladly fighting and bleeding
For throne and empire!
Commerce and science
Hoist with courage and strength
Their chief aloft.
Warriors' and heroes' deeds
Find their laurel leaves
Faithfully preserved
Upon thy throne!
Forever continuing to bloom
Our flag may wave boldly
On the high seas!
Ha, how proud and majestic
Casts over land and sea
Widely the German eagle
Its flaming gaze.
Be, emperor Wilhelm, here
Thy people's ornament for many a year
Humanity's pride!
Feel in the throne's glow,
The high ecstasy in full
To be darling of thy people!
Hail to thee, emperor!

"Today marks one year since the attacks in the state of Sao de Sevona which killed over seventeen thousand people. We know that this attack was done by a mastermind group, but we are much closer to punishing the culprits. Our thoughts are with the families of those affected, and we are hoping that we can bring the culprits to justice"

There are times for everything. Time to wake up, time to go to school or work, time for dinner, and time to go to bed. And there’s a time in TSP right now, too. Do you know what time that is? It’s time for a new voice in Foreign Affairs. So, hey.
making foreign affairs fun
Foreign Affairs isn’t naturally fun. That’s a given. But it’s also a problem. Like I said before, we need new perspectives to FA. How are we going to do that? By attracting more members. And how will we attract members? By making FA fun!
Currently, a big problem with FA’s un-fun-ness is that barely anyone can have their voice heard. That’s going to change! I’m going to do a couple things to make this happen:
Have a team of advisors advise the MoFA, much like the FA Team structure in Serres’ term. Those advisors and the Cabinet will be one of the last and most prominent voices for key FA decisions, the last decision coming from the MoFA, of course 😊
Calling in the ambassador to that region when a decision has to go down regarding that region. Ambassadors know their region well, and they should be able to demonstrate that!
A section in weekly AMAs where the MoFA can chill and answer questions from legislators and citizens. Sometimes the best takes come from the ones on the outside.
An art studio channel in the MoFA discord where citizens can design posters, logos, and shields to represent the MoFA.
keeping an open mind
I don’t ever believe in isolationism. Like, ever. Never ever. Friends are fun! :) And I know we’re not at that point in TSP yet, but with our pessimistic attitude in FA nowadays, we could go towards that track. That’s why I believe that TSP should keep an open mind in FA. No more calling any extending of relations off because of something that happened 5 years ago! I think that because of that, there are some regions that might be open to being closer with us, but we don’t even know it!
If I was MoFA, I’d look for those regions, and then, when found, reach out to them! No, not kiss them on the running track. Just a text. And if they respond positively to that text, then we can invite them over to our house to watch Sixteen Candles :) (i.e, consulate)and then we annex them!
be gone, npo!
TSP closed embassies with the New Pacific Order after the Osiris spy scandal was released. That’s all well and good. But if we keep up our current NPO-like views on certain positions, I’m afraid that in a couple years we and the NPO could look a bit too cuddly...I don’t want that. Obviously. So that’s why I think that TSP should look for any sort of ties with the NPO, sever them, and encourage our allies to do the same. Whether this will escalate to working with the APC and such, I don’t know. But I know that TSP and the NPO are currently to close for comfort. Let’s unfollow and block them on Instagram. and then post a video of them making out in the hot tub with TEP!
nsgp 😳
95% of the time, when someone says something about TSP, I wave it off. NSGP is full of people with personal grudges against TSP members. But mostly, it’s full of people who are just jealous of the coolest kid in school! (i.e, us.) But NSGP can still matter sometimes. Our embassy forumside is our PR office, and potential allies could be driven away by how we handle ourselves there. That’s why I believe TSP should appoint someone with significant NSGP experience to be the TSP ambassador to the NSGP community. This is going to be an esteemed position that only the best can do well, as it’ll require a lot of chillness and coolness. But I think that having that will benefit our PR office in the long run.
That’s it! If you have any questions, feel free to ask them via the forum, Discord, TG, or Snapchat :p
P.S., I luv y’all
Always and forever, Prarie <3

Hi everyone —
I’m Somyrion — also known as Aumeltopia on gameside — and I’m your current Minister of Foreign Affairs. I’ve also held the position of Minister of Military Affairs, as well as Local Councillor, and I’m an active participant in the Ministry of Regional Affairs, so I know almost all aspects of this region quite well! I’ve endeavoured to serve the South Pacific as well as possible in this past term, and I’d like to ask for your support for another term. My tenure as Minister these past three months has taught me quite a bit, though, and I’m excited at the prospect of being able to put some new ideas and tweaks into practice and pursue some new goals!
I’m going to start right now with the concrete goals that I have and plan to accomplish with the Ministry. I believe that the best way to ensure that things in one’s campaign are actually carried out is to set specific steps to achieve, rather than drifting aimlessly on twenty paragraphs of ideology. I will, however, follow these goals with a bit of an explanation on my foreign affairs outlook, as that is certainly important in its own right.
First, here’s a summary of some of what’s been accomplished in the Ministry this past term:
Replacement of the dysfunctional MoFA Team system with a Committee system, enabling newer members to be involved in Ministry management positions and organizing all Ministry functions into purpose-built channels. There are currently nine active committees, all established since the start of the term, including ones on Embassy Auditing, Foreign Update-writing, a WA project, and more.
A new gameside embassy with Europe
Debate on new embassies with Wintreath and South Pacific
Closure of an inactive gameside embassy with Kennan
The publication of a Guide to Being an Ambassador
Assignment of at least nine new Ambassadors
The institution of game-side polling on opening or closing embassies game-side, allowing those who prefer the RMB to discord or the forums to have a say in Foreign Affairs changes which directly affect them
All in all, the MoFA is quite a bit more organized and functional than it was at the start of last term. Now that the last term has laid the groundwork, it is time to move even further upward towards a FA ministry which can use that basis to produce content, further increase engagement, and handle diplomatic situations even more efficiently and appropriately.
I’d like to incorporate some operational changes into the Ministry’s planning:
Planning for repeated events or duties to occur every week. I’ve found that setting a standard that specific duties must be carried out at specific intervals, instead of just “whenever we get to them”, aids in making sure that those duties are done. I have several ideas for weekly or near-weekly events.
An increase in the use of polls. Amerion’s January Assembly poll was quite helpful in letting me know what regions people wanted more relations with — and in fact many of them were ones I was already thinking about! I immediately fast-tracked the pursuit of those embassies, and now we have Wintreath and South Pacific on the table in the Assembly. In hindsight, I should have done this more often all term long. While the Ministry can’t always reveal the nature of sensitive diplomatic discussions while they are happening, we can make sure that in those discussions we are always acting on the real interests of TSPers as expressed by themselves in polls, Overall ministry policy will be decided by South Pacificans’ votes all term long, not just in this cabinet election. So prepare for me to use polls like the Chair uses pings!
Should I be reelected, I intend to accomplish the following:
Right now the Ministry is right in the middle of working on several projects, including one with our new embassy region Europe, one more gameplay-related which I’d like to present to the Assembly as soon as possible, and the potential WA project which Glen-Rhodes alluded to. Felis and I have already discussed some ideas for the Europe event— we were actually planning on proposing it for this week, if cabinet elections had not gotten in the way! :P We were thinking of doing trivia on each region’s RMB, music-sharing on discord, and so on. I’d love to work with whomever is elected Minister of Regional Affairs on this.
Starting with Europe the week after cabinet elections conclude, and then Wintreath and South Pacific should they be accepted by gamesiders in weeks 2-4 of the term, I’d like to instate a tradition of a “new embassy party” in which we and each new embassy share our regional traditions with each other on discord and the RMB. (Spreading Geoguessr around the world, anyone? :P )
The Europe event would also kick off a weekly “RMB cultural exchange” program. One day a week, the Ministry would encourage RMBers to introduce themselves and chat with members of a specific embassy region on their RMB. (Of course, fair warning would need to be given to that region to ensure they’re prepared!)
A further-down-the line idea would be to do a WA/endorsement event with TNP and Europe, to tie in with SWAN. The three of us are all top WA regions, and I think we’d each be able to contribute a lot and gain a lot. Prarie also mentioned this, but a potential agreement between the three of us might be a long-term goal to work towards if these first events turn out well. :)
I’d like to experiment with a program of “RMB Ambassadors” for the gameside community, if the Local Council and RMBers as a whole showed interest. RMB Ambassadors would be active TSP RMBers — preferably people who aren’t on discord— assigned by the Ministry to one of our in-game embassy regions, to watch and take part in that region’s RMB very much like Ambassadors do for the whole region. They would then report back not to the Ministry on discord, but to the TSP RMB as a whole, and we might be able to collate a publication for RMBers with a list of what’s going on in all the embassies. I am imagining this to be quite a bit less formal than an actual Ambassador position, sort of like the Reserves in the SPSF.
I will endeavour to carry out a weekly AMA simultaneously on discord and the RMB.
Among larger regions, I’d like to look at restoring relations with Lazarus, the West Pacific, further relations with 10000 Islands and Forest, and continuing strong relations with all our allies, as well as the current new embassies Europe, Wintreath, and South Pacific. A couple other regions that South Pacificans have mentioned an interest in are The Internationale, Pacifica, and The Western Isles, and I’d like to open a poll on those to gauge interest.
Unless unexpected events come up, I have no plan to decrease the number of our allies.
At present, several of the FA committees include only the Cabinet and whatever representative is present from another region. In order to help train enthusiastic new Ministry members, I will rework those “closed” committees so that each one includes a newer person, and will make a point of encouraging that person to take part in the discussion going on in the committee.
Although I can claim no credit for it, I fully support the idea Roavin put forth in his campaign of making Ambassador reports more public and accessible. (Any legislator who is in the MoFA server currently has full permission to view the #foreign-affairs-updates channel where Ambassador reports are made, but creating a collated dispatch and forum post with the reports would help as well.)
I will restructure the forumside Ministry application process. Right now, there is only an application for Ambassador, so someone who wants to participate in FA committees but doesn’t have the time or interest in being an Ambassador has no place to apply. Instead of the current thread, I will set up a new application to join the Ministry as a Member (which is already a distinct masking on discord), with the ability to select interest in being an Ambassador — or in any committee — which can then be used by the MoFA Management Committee to find the appropriate place for the applicant.
There will certainly be more along the way. If you have any questions, please, please ask them! :)
(I’ll put up a Part II on my FA / gameplay outlook in a bit, bear with me! 🐻)

leave of absence, or display other activity in the Assembly.Simply make a post on the South Pacific RMB after a post is made by Zess or other designated leader.
The post you make does not have to tag the leader or quote the post. It can be anything you want it to be.
The post the leader makes will read have any phrase including SilenceBreaker™ and then will detail the prize for the winner and runner up.
The runner up and winner cannot be the same nation as or a puppet of the other placer.
Other notes:
The prizes will usually be opposite of each other. For example: the winner could get a livable sand castle and the other could get a giant vacuum.
Occasionally there will be special rules detailed in the post. Something like "There will be a third place." Or " The post must be a haiku."
This is a game you can accidentally participate in and win.
The game typically is played when the leader wants a silence broken but can sometimes just be played when there is activity.
Title: Alima Nyx or “Hell’s Queen”
Threat level: Level 12 (Maximum)
Species: Potissimum
Description: Alima is a humanoid female with extremely long black hair, a pale skin tone, retractable sharp claws and teeth (despite x-rays not showing them, she also has a pair of retractable wings), and large red eyes that are said to be able to see everything. The true range of her abilities is unknown but she has a mastery over every form of magic in existence including her own special kind. It would be an understatement to say that she is extremely intelligent, she’s been on earth for thousands of years and claims to have existed since the beginning of the universe, the knowledge she has can never be fully extracted. She also possesses the ability to control reality, to prevent panic the event that led to this discovery is an extremely close guarded secret.
Security Measures: There are none, the enhanced rounds have no effect on her and she has dispatched hundreds of people with just a wave of her hand.
Incarceration status: She willingly participated in tests but no attempts were made to incarcerate her as it’s believed that not only they would be unsuccessful but wouldn’t be beneficial to anyone.
Notes: The main reason she was marked as a security concern is because of her new attitude towards other lifeforms, she sees them as below her. Interestingly the more removed from other lifeforms she becomes the stronger she becomes, it’s almost as if her selfish attitude has led to her becoming stronger.
Addendum: Alima Nyx is now declared deceased. She died during a battle against the being known as Shi see>nation=new_front/detail=factbook/id=1099909 She was killed by a large scale energy attack, one strong enough to level several universes (the fact that this took several hours to kill her has left several scientists amazed). Sadly despite the efforts of many doctors, she was considered a lost cause and was able to share her final words with her daughter before passing away. Her funeral was a private affair among family and friends, despite recent changes in her nature it’s believed she engaged in the battle to protect those she cared about, may she rest in peace.

Hi TSP! Many of you already know me, but I'll introduce myself for those who don't. I am Aidenfieeld, one of three current LC's serving in this term. I've had a lot of fun serving this great region, and I would love to continue to do so. So guess what; I'm running for re-election! In this campaign, I will explain my past accomplishments, what I plan on doing, and I am happy to answer any questions you may have about me or my campaign. So without further delay, let's get into it!
Over the last year-and-a-half, I have served TSP in a variety of different ways. Here's a list of some of them:
-I'm a top performer in WA endortarting, meaning I am a member of the WA, and have maintained a high endorsement count.
-I re-wrote the RMB Rules and Etiquette, making it more clear and understandable for new nations.
-I am a legislator on the forums.
-I often send regional telegrams promoting forumside activity.
-I (obviously) have served in the Local Council.
Since my last campaign, I have achieved almost everything I wanted to, and more. So, I want to continue what I have done, and add new plans to the list! So...here it is!
-Continue to welcome and support new nations.
-Continue to promote forum activity, as well as promote joining the WA and participating in SWAN.
-Write a welcome dispatch that has absolutely everything a newcomer may need.
-Continue RMB moderation, but now with experience!
-Maybe play RMB games again, only using one of the RP regions. (Or even making a new one).
-And of course: polls!
If you have a question for me, either send me a telegram or tag me on the RMB, and I will feature it here.
From Zess: What sets you apart from just another generic candidate?
I think I have focused on numerous things, and am trying to adress them equally, rather than focusing primarily on one thing.
From Zess: What is your proudest moment on NS?
I think my proudest moment on NS was getting elected into the Local Council.
From Zess: What is your least proudest moment on NS?
The things I'm least proud of doing in NS are my first few RMB posts. They are unbelievably cringy.
From Zess: Is there an aspect of TSP that is gone that you would like brought back? If so, why?
I have to put some blame on myself for this one; RMB games. At the beggining of my term, I played about 3 RMB games, before realising just how hard they were to do on an active RMB. This term, I hope to start doing them once a week, on the Psomewhere RMB.

VOL. 32 NO. 856
CITY FINAL
SATURDAY FEBRUARY 2, 2019
You Got Stones
The Issue
A government-sponsored contest to find the best DEERFIELD COVEian sculptor was wildly successful, with a multitude of statues brought to the Ministry of Culture’s marquee at the DEERFIELD COVE City Convention Center. Thanks to some small print in the competition’s terms and conditions, the entries are now the property of the Ministry of Culture. Now there are tens of thousands of sculptures to dispose of, many of which are frankly terrible.
The Debate
“You must display all these works in a permanent gallery!” exclaims Xu Pong, a dubiously-talented artist who placed 3587th in the contest. “It doesn’t matter if people want to see these sculptures or not, as all art is part of the culture and history of our nation. Like that marble bust of you in the corner of your office, Leader - it’s pretty ugly, but we still keep it around.”
Conditional Acceptance
“We should distribute the sculptures en masse to our allies!” suggests Chuck Wheeler, your Minister of Foreign Affairs, who you recall ‘regifted’ your birthday present to him back to you last year. “They’ll feel obliged to accept in order to maintain diplomatic politeness. And hey, what’s so bad about spreading DEERFIELD COVEian culture around the world?”
Conditional Acceptance
“We should just demolish ‘em,” urges construction site forewoman Ivanka Dimitrov, grabbing a delicate-looking ceramic anaglyptic and breaking it over her knee for emphasis. “All we need is your permission, and an empty lot, and half-a-dozen bulldozers and steamrollers.”
Conditional Acceptance
“Or we could repurpose these items,” suggests your DIY-loving Uncle Sheldon, wearing a pair of dungarees he improvised from rubber bands and reclaimed umbrella fabric. “We can knock together all sorts of useful items if we put our minds to it: big paperweights, weights for the gym, weights to keep doors open, mobile phone cases... that weigh a lot. The choices are endless! Well, not exactly endless, but you know what I mean!”
Conditional Acceptance
If a proper vote fails to be made or for any reason there is no resolution to this matter, we shall appropriate funds to establish a new museum for our local artists, notice will be sent out to all entry submission addresses and a vote on the best entries will be sponsored for a world tour to which each artist may accompany their art pieces.

TSP Foreign Office The South Pacific
February 2019 Update
New Delegate Elected
By Ministry Member North Prarie
On Friday, January 18th, Erinor (known offsite as Seraph), won the election for Delegate of the South Pacific by a 40 vote margin over a newer face on the political scene, Beepee. Erinor provided the South Pacific with great leadership in his first term, which took place from January to July of 2018, leading TSP to many advancements in areas such as communications, the World Assembly, and Delegate approachability, to levels unseen to that scale before. With the assistance of a strong WA Initiative effort and the support of our amazing allies, Erinor took the gameside delegacy of the South Pacific at major update on January 31st.
Please congratulate and wish luck to our new Delegate!
Amerion’s Assembly Account
By Chair of the Assembly Amerion
Chair of the South Pacific’s legislature, Amerion presents a few highlights of the numerous discussions currently ongoing in the Assembly.
Minister presents embassy proposals to the Assembly
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, His Llamalency, the Right Honourable Somyrion recently presented to the Assembly the Ministry's proposals for embassies with the Frozen Realm of Wintreath and the South Pacific.
These proposals represent a shift in how foreign relations are conducted, with embassy requests having previously been under the exclusive purview of the Minister. In a statement before Legislators in the appropriately named Legislators Lounge, the Minister elaborated on his new approach, stating:
'I dislike the fact that gameside embassies have been in the past treated as something like consulates, of no real consequence other than as a side order of a treaty or event, where the minister can just decide on them, even though they matter a lot more to gamesiders on the RMB. And they provide a handy half-step between a consulate and an alliance, so our FA outlook isn’t just that alliances are everything :P So by doing these discussions/advisory polls— not quite a single decision like a consulate but also not quite a vote like a treaty, I’m trying to push up the value of a gameside embassy.'
Should these proposals garner support within the Assembly, the Minister intends to proceed with a gameside poll to establish whether to finalise the construction of embassies.
What's in a Name?
A debate is currently ongoing regarding a small change in the name of Election Commission used in legislation. The Commission was reduced from three members to the singular position of Election Commissioner. This came after multiple election cycles where only one Election Commissioner was present. However, with this change now comes a series of amendments to existing legislation revising the terminology used.
These corrections are not without discussion. A Local Councillor (gameside government official), His Nocturnal Excellency, the Right Honourable Divine Owl questioned whether such changes were necessary. In response, the Right Honourable Chair, Amerion, stated:
'Unfortunately, at the moment it is. However, an amendment proposed by Awe which, if passed, will allow the Chair to exercise discretion in correcting future errors of a similar sort should mean that amendments of this nature will no longer be necessary.'
The Chair referenced an amendment proposed by Mr. Awe which would include changes to names of institutions and positions as part of the Chair's discretion. Under the Legislative Procedure Act, the Chair may correct typographical errors, grammatical errors, or formatting inconsistencies at any time, as long as these corrections do not alter the original intent of the law.
These amendments are expected to come to a vote within the first ten days of February.
Mass telegrams in the spotlight
Mr. The Sakhalinsk Empire's proposal to restrict the use of mass telegrams in an election period has sparked considerable debate. Associate Justice, the Right Honourable Belschaft raised concerns about the increased regulations, noting:
'I don’t think it’s appropriate to expand regulations on use of government communications via the RO function to cover private communications by individuals. You might find it objectionable to have people send mass TG’s during elections, but it is a legitimate form of free speech that anyone can access.'
This issue brought up by multiple Legislators centred on the possibility that any private citizen could be charged under the existing framework should they send out mass telegrams. In following revisions, Mr. The Sakhalinsk Empire amended the language to reflect that such restrictions related only to the abuse of power by government officials.
The amendment is expected to be voted on soon.
Upcoming Elections
By Minister of Foreign Affairs Somyrion
With the South Pacific’s Delegate election and transition barely over, another series of elections is right around the corner. Beginning on February 1st, elections open for the four offices of the Cabinet, the South Pacific’s executive leaders: the Prime Minister and the Ministers of Regional, Military, and Foreign Affairs. A poll of the members of TSP’s Assembly carried out by the Chair a week ago, including a section asking respondents about whom they would like to see run in the Cabinet elections, has sparked thoughts about potential candidates, though no campaigns have yet been launched and potential candidates remain fairly muted. The comprehensive poll also included sections asking about the current Cabinet’s performance and approval of various other branches of the government and initiatives.
Elections for the Local Council, TSP’s gameside governance body, will begin shortly after Cabinet elections conclude in late February.
It is believed that the sheep's milk cheese that Polyphemus the Cyclops made in his caves in Homer's 'Odyssey' was most likely an early form of feta cheese.
Feta is traditionally made of sheep's or goat's milk, though today large commercial producers often make it with cow's milk. The curdled milk (curdled with rennet) is separated and allowed to drain in a special mold or a cloth bag. It is cut into large slices (feta means 'slice') that are salted and then packed in barrels filled with whey or brine.
Imported feta cheese is usually made with goat's or sheep's milk, as is the original Greek feta cheese.
Most people that are allergic to cow milk products or who are lactose intolerant can use goat and sheep milk products. The lactose or protein in the milk is what usually causes the allergic reaction or intolerance. Goat & sheep milk both have lactose and protein but it is of a different make up that doesn't bother most people.
The proteins in cow's milk are huge, fit for an animal that will one day weigh in over 500 lbs. The proteins in humans, sheep, and goats, are very short, which is why babies (the infirm, and arthritics) will often thrive on goat's milk, and raw goat's milk also is loaded with the enzymes that enable the metabolizing of the calcium.
In Fetatonich, the goat is revered like that of the Hindu cow. The feta created from the goat's milk is believed to solve all your problems when you die!
And finally, Feta cheese, when paired with wine of any kind, no matter how weak, will cure all your problems for however long you are drunk. The longer you are drunk, the longer your problems disappear, and if you are drunk enough and pass out for good, they go away permanently!

Although you have seen many dispatches about how people will be leaving NS, I will not be sad and dramatic. I am not leaving forever, just a haitus, for a little bit. Me and my puppets may CTE, but I will return, eventually...
I feel trapped in a constant loop of having to come here everyday. A break is well deserved. I will not mention everyone from TSP, instead I will give a message to everyone; this dispatch is that message.
"I'll be back!", as the terminator says, shall be what I say before I leave. Literally I will be a ginormous terminator robot as I walk into the figurative distance. I technically already am; I just haven't said it yet.

1) T-84 is a custom built multipurpose serving android. It was built by Commander Xen's very own enginneer, Dr. Sil'leen.
2) T-84 is able to switch conscienceness with other vessels, meaning it can get a new model for different uses.
3) It was built with a mixture of melted titanium, tungsten, and indium. The metal was distributed into molds in a way T can technically weigh many tons, but can feel only one and a half.
4) East Lodge usually is called a "her". But since her model can change at any time, she is technically an "it" following the rule of, "If it looks and sounds like a guy, it's a guy. Or vice versa.
5) T-84 was coincidentally named with the same name as a Russin tank. This was a true coincidence and nothing more.
6) East is powered using a hybrid battery made of polished uranium and electricty. The electricity helps the model stay up, but the uranium helps the software work. Alien technology truely is amazing.
7) T-84 is not actually the 84th attempt on the model T. T-84 could be considered a name instead. Technically it is A-1, since Dr. Sil'leen worked so well on the very first model idea. And the first model had great use and integrity.
8) One time while on Earth, T accidentally moved into a toaster and couldn't move or cry for help until T was eventually rescued.
9) T's personality is completely based off how captive humans would act and what the aliens saw. This is why East can have a defended, snarky, and sometimes creepy attitude.

Volaworand Erinor Tsunamy Beepee
A number of drama llamas were killed as native nations loyal to Delegate-elect Erinor stormed the strategic
Delegate Cabana. With several hours until the next WA update, they have begun fortifying their position with a
massive street barricade.
Erinor loyalists in The South Pacific have secured a major milestone to oust holdout Delegate Tsunamy from the Delegate Cabana, unnamed TSP sources say.
Today the Erinor loyalists made significant gains against Tsunamy's forces. Erinor has continued to gain endorsements since winning the Delegate election 11 days ago, clinching victory in the key final round of delegate elections after a strong push by Beepee insurgents.
During today's offensive, local citizen militia members used rocks, bottles and endorsements to break down the door of the Delegate Cabana and blockade the streets, military sources say.
The capture of the cabana should give Erinor's forces the power of the TSP delegacy, assuming they can hold their position through tonight's update.
This advance has reportedly forced Delegate Tsunamy to flee to the regional offsite forums.
Why is there fighting in The South Pacific?
The so called "t-rebels" known as tSP-ers, backed by forces loyal to the outgoing Delegate, took over parts of The South Pacific, and forced the government into a plebiside to determine the preferred regional capitalization convention: the South Pacific (tSP) or The South Pacific (TSP). Upper case T loyalists won the vote by almost two thirds of the electorate, but some t-rebels refused to acknowledge the vote and defiantly continued to not capitalize the T.
The t-rebels accused the T loyalists of corruption and began to drown the region with hugs and floof roleplays. Forces loyal to the capitalized T began fighting back, leading to a shocking rise in RMB stabbings and robust demand for Revive-o-matic Services and Death Ray Guns.
After the Delegate election 11 days ago lower case tSPer's ignored the vote and stubbornly refused to boost the endorsement count of the new Delegate-elect. Upper case TSPers rallied and sporadic fighting broke out on the RMB. As drama llama's rampaged the countryside a core group of peasant workers and student intellectual TSPers created a citizen militia movement under the banner of delegate-elect Erinor to put down the tSPer influence once and for all.
As revolutionary fervor has gripped the region, numerous reworkings of musical numbers and disco classics have graced the RMB. Thankfully, rap battles have not gained any traction.
This is a fluid situation, and we will provide breaking news as it develops.

Volaworand Erinor Tsunamy Pencil Sharpeners 2 The Solar System Scope Beepee Roavin Aumeltopia
Numerous nations have been butthurt and CTE'd corpses are strewn about the beach.
TSP Delegate Tsunamy is refusing to step down despite the threat of military intervention.
Erinor, who beat him in the January elections, was due to be inaugurated as the new delegate on Monday, but Tsunamy has ignored the deadline. Tsunamy is still desperately clinging to power and is holed up in the Delegate Cabaña. Delegate-elect Erinor has rallied The South Pacific Special Forces to his side and angry mobs of pitchfork and endorsement wielding natives are currently trying to ram down the door and forcibly remove Tsunamy from power. The latest reports are that only 5 endorsements remain barring the door of the cabaña.
Why is Tsunamy refusing to leave office?
Tsunamy initially announced he would not seek re-election and even publicly supported Erinor in the election but later he reversed his position and said he would not step down. He declared a 90-day state of emergency calling for "peace, law and order" after what he said were irregularities in the election process. He said that along with errors made by the electoral commission, some votes mysteriously disappeared.
The commission later accepted that a small number of ballots had been eaten by TSP's abundant free-range drama llama's, but said this would not have affected Erinor's win. Tsunamy has said he will stay in office until new elections are held. Retaining power would also ensure he is not prosecuted in The South Pacific High Court for the criminal rise of "floofing" during his rule.
There have been scattered reports of looting as riots spread throughout the region.
Election Commissioner powerless to enforce a transfer of power.
Election Commissioner Pencil Sharpeners 2 failed to break the deadlock at last-minute talks with Tsunamy.
Pencil Sharpeners 2 flew in to the TSP offsite forums last Friday evening to meet Tsunamy before flying on to The Lampshade Bar and Grill RMB for further discussions with Erinor and Local Councilor The Solar System Scope. "I am now less pessimistic [that Tsunamy] will work on a peaceful solution that is in the best interest for everyone," The Solar System Scope said.
What happens next?
South Pacific Special Forces troops remain stationed at Versailles Isle, despite the deadline for Tsunamy to stand down passing at midnight. The threat of military action is supported by Erinor's defeated opponent Beepee and other states in the region. However, SPSF chief Roavin said his troops would not fight native forces should they enter into the region, according to TSP news reports.
"We are not going to involve ourselves militarily, this is a political dispute," he said. "I am not going to involve my soldiers in a stupid fight. I love my troops."
At least 2,600 South Pacificans, fearful that violence could erupt, flooded Europe's RMB this week seeking refuge. Meanwhile, thousands of Lazerene and Forestian tourists continue to be evacuated from the region on special charter flights. TSP is a popular beach destination among NationStates holidaymakers, especially in winter. Minister of Foreign Affairs Aumeltopia has reportedly been making the rounds reassuring allies that the situation is "under control" and "not a cause for alarm".
Shipments of South Pacific Iced tea, or SPIT, have not yet been affected, but hoarding is becoming an issue as jittery nations prepare for the worst. Volaworand, co-chair of The South Pacific Joint Commission on SPIT, has appealed to all SPaRTA nations to increase production to avert a potential disastrous SPIT shortage.
We will keep you updated on this dangerous situation.

The state of the North Western Bank is still as bad as it was before Zander's Election.
General Breamson Stonefins has been in the pocket of the HWM for years, and has already sent at least another company of "Peacekeeping" units into the Bank just two days after her request, and, just like last time, denied all correlation between him and the HWM, declaring that:
"The Situation in the North Western Bank has deteriorated significantly, and due to a spike of violence yesterday that was perpetrated by hostiles that we believe to be affiliated with the Fugu Terrorist group, we took preliminary action, and reinforced our garrison in the Bank in order to prevent any more outbreaks of conflict; This reinforcement has nothing to do with the Water Minister's politics."
While it is allegedly true that there was an attack on a WDF Garrision yesterday, the timing between the HWM's request and the General's mobilization is too much of a coincidence to ignore, not even regarding the similarities from the last time this happened.
The HWM can deny the facts all she wants, but the truth is, is that this is the second time that she's sent troops into the Bank for no reason whatsoever. As we all know, The Bank is legally an independent terrority that, under international law, is protected from any external influence, even from Waterwise, And yet, the HWM has taken her own personal interest in the Bank, and even claiming that the Bank belongs to Waterwise on multiple occasions!
Of course, the International community is quite miffed with her claims, and recently before this new incident has stepped down on most of her claims on the bank; But I gander since the gradual increase in Waterwise's international influence and since our inception into the World Assembly, she has decided to try her luck once again; And God knows she thinks she has a lot of it.
I'd reckon that in a couple of days, the controversy surrounding this incident will skyrocket and the HWM will be forced to come out of her residence to address the nation concerning it. Then, she will go on another 'innocence' spiel saying that she only ever wanted to help the people of the Bank by, of course, Military action, which then is interrupted by the Opposition Leader threatening to reveal her sex tapes or whatever the hell those secret emails are.
This repeated cycle of violent action followed by fake public sulking is despicable at this point, and I feel that the HWM should just own up to her mistakes at this point and simply face the consequences to her actions; Any further denial to her blatant non-sensical selfish desire for the Bank is only going to hurt us all down the road.

Title: “Lilith”
Threat level: Level 12 (Maximum)
Species: Nyx Bloodline (Referred to by the sisters as an impurity as they claim she is not a pure member of their bloodline.)
Description: Lilith is a humanoid with an appearance of a young woman. It is difficult to tell which physical feature is actually part of her natural physical form. She can change her hair and eye color as well as her body’s shape, it is believed she does this to manipulate people by turning into what they most desire or to spy on others. She has also shown a full mastery of magic learning extremely complex spells but her mastery of Nyx family magic and special abilities have baffled many including members of the family with Luna Nyx noting that some of her abilities take hundreds of years to master.
Security Measures: Enchanted rounds are to be used against Lilith but every time she is spotted Nova and Luna Nyx are to be taken to her location to attack her and all forces and civilians are to move to a one mile minimum safe distance to prevent collateral damage.
Incarceration status: She’s currently been captured once but only for a brief moment before she completely destroyed the facility holding her. It is thought that she was allowing herself to be caught so she could find the holding facility and destroy it, her reason for doing this is unknown.
Notes: Three images of Lilith have all been placed on her file, this was done due to the simple fact that she can change her appearance. The three images below are what appear to be her favorites that she uses more than the others. The first one is the appearance of a young woman, it’s believed she uses this one to blend in with human society. Her second appearance is that of an extremely attractive young woman, she uses this appearance and a shy attitude to lore in unsuspecting victims for her sadistic pleasures. Her third appearance is what is known as her aggressive look, she only takes on this appearance when she is fighting or attacking someone, some scientist believe this might be her true form.
Camazonia is east-most and east of Klepali. Klepali, once originally thought to be a Mediterranean paradise when settled on originally in 1982 has now become a sub-tropical semi-swamp especially in its eastern counties. Mushroom Co. is almost entirely overrun by Camazonia's vegetation. A jungle is creeping its way across Klepali at a worrying speed and one of the Klepalian State Legion's occupations is beating back the zealous fauna. Klepalian leader, Alyssa Tempest has declared Camazonian jungle expansion a threat to the Klepalian way of life and labelled it a threat nearly as much as foreign invasion. Top scientists like Rabyte Shervin and Yensi Gorma have confirmed the nexonium is to blame.
Consequently, the wildlife has evolved.
Gators are a related to Alligators but are smaller, more vicious and easier to kill than their bigger, slower and more armoured counterparts. Gators have evolved to be more manoeuvrable, like the jungle as they make their new homes in the bayous of Klepali. They are the reason why so many people every year get severely injured or killed in the Klepali swamps, most happening at night.
Starmans/starmen are like the starfishes found like most on Earth; they have five limbs and come in a variety of colours. What is unique about the starman is its bizarre tendency to absorb nexonium causing them to shine like light bulbs so bright, it would in fact hurt your eyes to look at them too long. They also frequently change colours even as they are submerged underwater. They can even stand up on two legs and walk around although this is not a frequent habit, children adore them for this reason. Unfortunately, they are so nexonium contanimated, they are a radiation hazard, even to the citizens of the confederation and other flora and fauna. Even to natives who have been born into and grown up all their lives with the nexonium, contact with starmen is best avoided.

Title: “The Immortal” or “The Void”
Threat level: Level 12 (Maximum)
Species: Human? (Some of her abilities suggest she might be more than human)
Description: The Immortal/Void is a female with long black hair, black eyes, and a muscular frame. She has left many of our best scientists baffled as she is a physical wonder with no sicknesses present, no scarring, no deterioration of any kind, no aging, and incredible durability. No weapons have been able to injure her let alone kill her, a kinetic rod was shot at her and she didn’t even attempt to block it, it caused no damage and didn’t even appear to faze her. Her combat capabilities continue to baffle anyone who views them, she is an expert with any weapon although she prefers to stay away from firearms, her hand to hand combat is unmatched, she seems to be a master strategist with an incredibly high IQ, and has mastered multiple forms of magic although her true extent of abilities in this field is unknown.
Security Measures: Any forces near her are to immediately retreat, do not attempt to fight her!
Incarceration status: This has not even come under consideration.
Notes: Despite her aggressive nature she will not attack unarmed civilians, it’s believed that she finds this dishonorable. She has been noted as having conversations with intellectuals as well as military leaders, sadly military leaders are usually killed after the conversations but the intellectuals are allowed to live and they claim that she does not see herself as the villain but as a savior, she claims that she came to our reality to make us stronger. This has led to the theory that she is from an alternate universe and has led to many other theories as to what happened in her universe to force her to become the person she is, further investigations are ongoing.

Russian grand imperial empire Le Front de Liberation du Midand Aidenfieeld Beepee Kerlodia
Russian Grand Imperial Empire's Oil Pipelines targeted by over 50 FLM attacks
by The Disputed Territories of Le Front de Liberation du Midand
Both members of the beleaguered Russian army had to catch a taxi to a massive oil pipeline fire after over 50 FLM attacks in weekend campaign that raised fears the conflict will collapse Moscow's precarious economy.
Deep craters pockmark the landscape south of the Russian capital of Moscow in a Y-shaped pattern straddling the pipeline.
One attack left two bright yellow smiley faces, less than 100 meters apart, near a pressure vent on the pipeline. Shrapnel of military munitions litters the area.
There was extensive damage to the pipeline. Local Officials are preventing anyone venturing on to the site. Flames are visible for miles around.
Local police recorded 51 strikes. "I have no doubt they wanted to target the pipeline, there is nothing else here," said Giorgi Abrahamisvili, a policeman who witnessed the attack.
"It was terribly intense, the smell of markers spread everywhere. I had to abandon my car and hide in a ditch but these Le Front de Liberation du Midand terrorists weren't interested in other targets. They ran straight up to the pipeline and started to deface it with sharpies and spray paint. It was so terrifying. I shouted for them to stop and they just turned a gestured rudely to me. That's when I started to shoot at them... I'm pretty sure when my bullets hit the pipeline and caused the explosion they were killed. Well, either that or when our military started dropping bombs over the pipelines... that probably got any strays that I missed."
"Due to the extensive graffiti attacks and damages caused by our police and military bombing response, the pipelines are not running at any capacity." a spokesman said. "It may be several months before we can resume normal operations."
The Kremlin uses gas exports to prop up its failing economy and as a tool of foreign policy.
Reduced exports to The South Pacific may force RUSSIAN GRAND IMPERIAL EMPIRE's to curtail its hostile ambitions.
Georgian politicians accused Russia of faking the FLM attacks, which Moscow has portrayed as committed by small bands of beleaguered renegades, to achieve wider strategic goals.
"They need control of energy routes," the Georgian president, Mikhail Saakashvili said. "They need sea ports. They need transportation infrastructure. And primarily, they need money. This will be the first step in nationalizing and militarizing the pipelines. Mark my words: They blew up the pipelines on their own! "
Russia's attacks on Aidenfieeld, Beepee, and Kerlodia provoked a mixture of disgust and anger among South Pacificans, who see Russian grand imperial empire at war with the region as a whole.
"Churchill should never have helped these Soviet man-babies," said a local police chief. "I am not a Nazi but RUSSIAN GRAND IMPERIAL EMPIRE is becoming a curse in The South Pacific region."
The Ray Catalog
I have sold many rays to many mobsters; but today I'd like to show my most popular rays. Here is my #3 best sold ray. This one flies off the shelves.
The Potato Ray
This ray looks mundane and useless, but I assure you it's not. The Potato Ray is capable of turning someone either to a spudsy potato, or to their regular selves. This ray is great for containing uncontrollable ones who need extra reenforcement. This ray is usually $3000, but this month only they will be $1000. That's one amazing deal.
The Reviv-o-matic
This ray can revive those who have died, no matter what they are. I live in an area full of diverse life. Let me tell you, everyone of those diverse people can be revived with this ray. The reviv-o-matic is such a productive and practical ray, and it's only $900 for the next 2 weeks! This ray is the most popular ray I have ever sold. It flies off the shelves faster than I can build them. I've lowered the price from $500, very cheap, to $200, even cheaper! What a lovely deal for something you'll need in daily life. Ever wanted a pet? You can have a pet now! You could even be the pet if you wanted. You can become a dog, the most popular setting. And to think it's only $200.
Finally... the #1 ray gun...
The Animal ray.
You can see my client took the time to take a lovely picture for me, and he truely uses it well. The Animal ray, in short, turns anything into an animal, then back again.
National news in the country. Will change very often
Constitutional Referendum is Now At Vote!
Today, after much bureaucratic bickering, the constitutional referendum jointly written by President Son Ryo-Gan and Premier Shen Liuxian is at vote by the populace. In the reform, the Premier is now appointed by the President, while the Speaker of the House is voted upon internally by the Legislative Yuan. Members of the military also can no longer be politicians at the same time, though this does not apply retroactively as to not disturb the Executive Yuan's plans.
The Sambhota Coup Fails!
On 2 September, General Jungney Sambhota's government - which had ousted Nyandak Nyima the day prior - was counter-couped by Nyima and her loyalists. However, the damage had already been done, and numerous high-ranking government officials fled back to UCR-controlled Tibet. The financial crisis continues, with 1 USD now equaling a thousand srang, which only continues to inflate in value.
Troubles, Part III
Yesterday, President of Tibet Nyandak Nyima has been ousted by her own General, Jungney Sambhota, for her "irresponsible handling of the economic crisis". By then 1 USD had been equal to 900 srang, and protests against the corporations' boycott continued to grow. The fate of Tibet is unknown, though there are calls from within their government to return to the UCR.
Numerous Politicians Ousted!
Just three days after UA 27 was passed, numerous politicians were found guilty of extortion, which is considered a Treasonous Crime under UA 26. One of those found guilty is Representative of Gansu-3 Pan Jingyi, of the Democracy Party, who had reportedly taken over ¥32 million ($1 million) in bribes from corporations; she was immediately relieved of her position and replaced by New Kuomintang member Ren Tian. Her trial is due on 15 September.
Another guilty politician is Representative of Hunan-4 Zhuan Shun, a member of the New Kuomintang, who took ¥10 million ($312,500) from the Democracy Party in order to vote against laws by his own party. He was also ousted and replaced by Sun Xinyue, also from the NKMT, and his trial is due on 20 September; Matthew Shaw, the leader of the Democracy Party, is currently under investigation for supposedly being in on the corruption.
Treasonous Crimes and Political Donations Prohibition
On the 21st, Representative of Jiangsu-5 Quan Zhong (New Kuomintang) proposed the Treasonous Crimes Act, which would remove the crime of treason and instead classified a number of crimes as treasonous crimes, with the maximum penalty of execution, though that it would require unanimous support from the Supreme Court and the Minister of Justice to be carried out. It passed on the 23rd with a vote of 97 - 78 - 0.
That same day, Representative of Heilongjiang-3 Dai Luoyang (Communist) proposed the Political Donations Prohibition Act, which would outlaw any kind of political donation from any source to politicians except during campaigns, and even then would be monitored by a government oversight committee. It was heavily unpopular with the Democracy Party, leading many to believe that corruption was ongoing, but the law passed with a close 90 - 85 - 0.
Tibetan Economic Collapse!
Just a few days after Nyandak Nyima declared the Free State of Tibet independent from the UCR, the Tibetan economy has spiraled out of control. The reason for this is because the proclaimed currency of Tibet, the srang, was boycotted by numerous companies since it is not registered into the Nikkei and thus cannot be traded with other countries. The srang's value inflated from the planned 10 srang per USD to over 300 srang.
Local officials have threatened their resignation already if Nyima would not solve the situation; one, who wishes to remain anonymous, said that "A crisis would have happened in Turkestan (Xinjiang) if they'd also declared independence, so learn from our mistakes." President Son Ryo-Gan said that "I extend my best wishes to the Tibetan people, and hope that they rejoin so that we can once more stand united."
Troubles, Part II
Former Governor of Tibet Nyandak Nyima, after being dismissed as Governor, said that "I will still fight for the independence of Tibet, no matter what happens to me" and has held an illegal independence referendum; practically all voters voted in favor of independence. The Free State of Tibet has thus been formed with Nyima as its president and its temporaru capital in Ngari.
President Son Ryo-Gan, having received heavy criticism from Executive Order No. 1, has refused to talk about the situation "for the meantime." Meanwhile, Premier Shen Liuxian has threatened "I am ready to deploy patrols in Xizang (the former official Chinese name for Tibet) in order to maintain the security of the nation." In opposition, Governor of Chonqing and Chairman of the Democracy Party Matthew Shaw said that "This is the collapse of the truly dictatorial New Kuomintang."
Troubles in Tibet
Despite the Minorities Act having already stopped most of the unrest, the Tibetan Independence Movement is still going strong, with many people saying that this threatens the security of the nation. After a government-mandated online poll, President Son Ryo-Gan issued Executive Order No. 1, which officially dismisses Nyandak Nyima as Governor of Tibet after her speech on the 5th, stating that it incorporated treason. (Executive Orders are very powerful in the UCR and require a public vote in order to be passed.) "It truly saddens me to dismiss a member of my own government, but the country takes priority over selfish needs," he said in a speech.
The current Constitution says that a member of the government who loses their position before half of their term is completed must have their position appointed by the next higher position. Since the next gubernatorial election is on 2034, and since the next higher position after Governor is the President, this means that it is President Son's responsibility to appoint Nyima's successor.
BREAKING: As we were writing this, President Son Ryo-Gan announced that Xiao Xinyi, a member of the New Kuomintang would be appointed. He also announced that while Nyandak Nyima would not be able to run for Governor in the next election, she would be allowed to run for other positions, and that she would not be charged with any crimes.
A Climatic Emergency
On the 5th, the government of United Europe-Eurasia announced a diplomatic meeting between numerous government leaders over rising temperatures and sea levels. Because of this, the Legislative Yuan has been buzzing over possible climate laws, but the most successful one was proposed by Representative of Qinghai-4 Tian Yazhu (Democracy) on the 6th. The Regulation of Packaging Act would prohibit the use of styrofoam and styrophor nationwide, as well as ban the use of plastic bags for "dry goods" i.e. non-food items. It was voted upon today and passed with a vote of 114 - 61 - 0.
The Government's Response
In response to the Xinjiang and Tibetan independence movements, Representative of Shanxi-2 Zhu Zexi (New Kuomintang) has proposed a Repeal of the Minority Cultures Act back on the 1st. Voted upon the next day, it passed in a clear political line: 130 - 45 - 0.
In its place did Speaker Shao Hanying propose the Minorities Act on the 3rd, which would give the state more power over the minority cultures in comparison to the Minority Cultures Act. Voted upon on the same day, it passed 121 - 54 - 0.
As a result, Akmetzhan Narimanev resigned as President of the East Turkestan Independence Association, informally known as the East Turkestan Government. Nyandak Nyima said she will not step down as Governor of Tibet, but rather that she will "fight against this law as to ends of my ability."
Ethnic Tensions
Union Act No. 18, the Minority Cultures Act, was accused by the New Kuomintang of being a ploy to destabilize the country. While the Democracy Party has fervently denied this, it has indeed caused tensions to rise in the minority provinces of Xinjiang and Tibet, where independence movements are rising. The East Turkestan Independence Movement, led by Akmetzhan Narimanev, is picking up speed in Urumqi, and they are set to deliver an independence referendum by autumn. Meanwhile, the Tibetan Independence Movement, led by Governor of Tibet Nyandak Nyima, is also very popular and may send a referendum around the same time frame.
President Son Ryo-Gan, who is strongly in favor of a single united China, says that "We must act as one nation and not let our differences get in the way of progress." Premier Shen Liuxian, who is also the Field Marshal, says that "I am considering a military intervention to stop this crisis from starting." Speaker Shao Hanying has quipped "I do not think that this is the end of China; I think this is the end of those independence movements."
Banks and Welfare
Speaker Shao Hanying's Government Control on Banks Act was later revised to become the Fiscal Regulations Act and was passed today with a vote of 105 - 70 - 0. This act not only allows the government to control banks' interest rates, it also allows for the control of reserves and bond prices. While banks across the nation are attempting to boycott the law, as newly passed laws immediately go into effect, the boycotts simply have no effect.
Meanwhile, Representative of Taiwan-4 Song Xue (New Kuomintang) drafted on the 22nd the Welfare Act, which officially establishes a welfare system for all citizens. It passed today with an outstanding 164 - 11 - 0.
A New Currency?
With the United Chinese Republic having signed and ratified the East Asian Economic Accord proposed by Hanguk-Nippon, which seeks to establish a common currency between all signatories known as the East Asian Dollar, heavy debate has risen across the nation.
The divisions are nowhere along political lines; Representative of Chongqing-3 Tai Hai, a member of the Democracy Party, says that "A new currency would lead to free trade and economic stimulation", while Representative of Gansu-3 Pan Jingyi - also part of the Democracy Party - says that "The Chinese Yuan would spiral into inflation and lead to the destruction of the economy." President Son Ryo-Gan, who ratified the treaty, says "A common market would lead to the prosperity of all citizens of all nations," while Minister of the Interior Xian Guiying says that "Our own country takes priority over others, thus this treaty shouldn't have been signed in the first place."
Economic Reforms
After much debate over 5 days, Representative of Hong Kong-3 La Shu-Ren (New Kuomintang) successfully passed the Coins and Banknotes Act with a vote of 112 - 63 - 0. This act officially abolishes the jiao and the 20-yuan banknote, as well as converting the 50-yuan banknote into a coin. It also establishes the standards for the designs of both the coins and the banknotes, and establishes the crime of currency defamation.
Meanwhile, Speaker Shao Hanying has submitted the Government Control on Banks Act, which would give the government more control over banks and their interest rates (among other things). He said "While I doubt any further laws would restore the currency to its old exchange rate, these would control any further inflation and regulate prices, so that everyone can be able to afford anything."
More Executive Yuan News
Today, Premier Shen Liuxian announced the creation of the Ministry of Labor and Industry, which would oversee employment, labor standards, and industrial growth, as well as the Ministry of Public Transportation, which would oversee the trains, buses, airplanes, and other modes of transportation within the nation. He also announced the National Freeways Commission would be moved to the Ministry of Public Transportation.
Premier Shen also announced that while he did draft part of the 2029 Constitutional Amendment, he "was not involved in the section regarding military officials," and had sent a recommendation to President Son Ryo-Gan to change it.
We Have Come to Bargain
After growing threats from United Europe-Eurasia to stop trade, President Son Ryo-Gan has announced that he is offering a compromise with the UEE in order to avert war. "I indeed want the best for our nation, and I still believe that the UEE has disrespected our sovereignty. But I do not want war. Cooperation will be the only way that world peace will be retained."
The compromise states that the UCR will either get Chongqing and Shanghai fully, or the entirety of Primorsky Krai including Vladivostok (Haishenwai). In exchange, the UCR will revoke any further claims on the UEE's territory, excluding the territory we did not get in this compromise.
Despite expecting outrage from the people due to this anti-nationalist decision, praise for the president came saying that he has averted a possible war, especially after the death toll of the South Caleblanian Civil War.
Constitutional Referendum
Today, President Son Ryo-Gan announced that he, along with Premier Shen Liuxian and former Speaker of the House Huo Wuhan, have sent out an amendment to the UCR Constitution. One of its major changes is that the Premiership and the Speakership are no longer elected positions; the Premier is now appointed by the President, and the Speaker is elected by the Legislative Yuan/House of Representatives. Another change is that the Speaker and President can now veto laws, but that it can be overturned by the house. Lastly - the most popular of the changes - current military officials can no longer hold political positions.
People's reactions were mixed, with some saying that this was a plot to give the government supreme power over the people, as it was not announced until now. Others say that the amendment would streamline the government and reduce unnecessary bureaucracy. Lastly, Speaker Shao Hanying has said "I am pleased with this decision, as this will allow government processes to be done more easily." The public referendum for the amendment will be held on 1 August.
Mmoremoreore Laws
Representative of Xinjiang-2 Duan Huo (Democracy) proposed the Minority Cultures Act on the 2nd, which would give special status to the Turks, Tibetans, Mongolians, Manchurians, and Koreans within the nation. It passed today with a 101 - 74 - 0 (note the extra 5 from Xing'an). Duan herself commented on the amount of people against the proposal, saying that "the other parties vote against anyone against their party, even if it goes with their beliefs."
Speaker Shao Hanying (Communist) proposed the Penal Productivity Act on the 3rd, which would allow prisoners to shorten their sentence by allowing them to do work such as construction and farming; it also creates a Penal Education System which gives prisoners education. It passed with a 123 - 52 - 0.
We Withdraw From The International Jury!
Today, President Son Ryo-Gan announced that the UCR has announced their withdrawal from the International Jury, led by United Europe-Eurasia. In the announcement he stated "I, at first, thought that the UEE was a protector of all Chinese people, that they would protect our sovereignty. But they have shown blatant disrespect on our sovereignty, and this cannot be accepted." He also later stated that the UEE's embassy will not be closed, but that it will be heavily monitored by security.
In place of the International Jury, President Son is considering setting up another international alliance, especially with Hanguk-Nippon, South Caleblan, and East Sakhlin. Premier Shen Liuxian meanwhile has ordered the Yellow Sea Squadron to keep the Yellow Sea and the Sea of Japan under patrol.
Mongolian Split Leads To Possible Upper House
After many revisions, Representative of Jilin-1 Dong Wuhan (Communist)'s Division of Inner Mongolia Act passed with a close 87 - 83 - 0. Instead of dividing the province into 3, due to its low population it was revised into just two, with Suiyuan to the west and retaining Hohhot and Inner Mongolia's current government, and Xing'an to the east and headed in Chifeng.
This proposal led to some arguing that we should reform the legislature. One proposal suggests dividing provinces into districts that are proportionate to population and needn't have much complications with the provincial government, and that these districts would send one representative each to the House of Representatives; while a National Assembly would be the upper house and have nationwide candidates.
Laws, Laws, Laws, Laws, Laws
In response to the dispute over the National Freeways Commission, Representative of Gansu-3 Pan Jingyi (Democracy) drafted the Anti-Air Pollution Act on the 25th, which would prohibit excessive air pollution from vehicles as well as from industry. While expected to be heavily controversial, it surprisingly passed with a good 148 - 22 - 0.
Speaker Shao Hanying drafted the Extended Minimum Wage Act on the 26th, which builds upon the Minimum Wage Act and allows for salary bonuses, as a response the near monetary crisis. It passed with a calm 129 - 41 - 0.
Lastly, Representative of Jilin-1 Dong Wuhan (Communist) is proposing the Division of Inner Mongolia Act, which would split the province into three - Hulunbuir, Xilingol, and Alxa. While some have accused the proposal as being a gerrymander, many have also praised it by stating that Inner Mongolia is too large. The HR/LY will vote on it on the 29th.
Highways Or Trees?
Today, a big debate sparked in the Executive Yuan after the National Freeways Commission was formally established under the Ministry of the Interior. While the plan to connect all of China with freeways was lauded by many people, including President Son Ryo-Gan and Speaker Shao Hanying, Minister of the Environment Feng Chao has been very outspoken against this.
"Freeways encourage car use, which increases air pollution and harms the planet as a whole," she said in an announcement in New Taipei. "Do we still want to live in this Earth? Of course! But this plan to build a multitude of these freeways in the country will choke the planet and doom us all. We have ought to stop this plan right now - and I implore for the veto power of the President for this."
In response, Minister of the Interior Xian Guiying said "I do deeply care about the environment, but simply building roads does not necessarily mean that everyone will use cars. Anyways, the roads are to connect everyone, and a disconnected nation is a nation that will fall apart. The entire world needs to help the environment, but we as a nation need to protect our interests first."
The War Has Ended
Today, the United Chinese Republic (UCR), the Kingdom of South Caleblan (KSC), and the Islands Republic of South Caleblan (IRSC) have signed the Treaty of Tacloban City which formally ends the South Caleblanian Civil War.
In the Treaty, the IRSC is given independence with sovereignty over all the former Philippine territories (Visayas and Mindanao), and Hokoan gets the First Division of Sarawak. In exchange, the UCR pays about $75,000,000 (CYN 2,325,000,000) to the KSC for the amelioration of their economy.
Time Zones
Representative of Tibet-5 Chokzay Pandita (Democracy) proposed a Time Zones Act two days ago which would split the nation into 3 time zone regions, so that the time on clocks would match local time. It passed today with a nice 153 - 17 - 0.
Fast as Lightning
The newly inaugurated Speaker Shao Hanying has indeed delivered his promise to fix the monetary crisis, as his Union Act No. 13 - the Reformed Tax Code Act - was passed by the House in an unanimous 170 - 0 - 0. The RTCA adds a 7.5% income tax to everyone, but many tax breaks for certain circumstances, such as having children and working for the government, are available. It also adds a significant property tax which grows for owning more than 2 properties, continuing his principle of taxing the rich more.
In a press interview, he said "I highly doubt that this crisis will end right now. However, what I am sure about is that this is the first step in alleviating the problem." He later said "Prices will most likely remain the same, even after the crisis. I assure you though that your salary will be compensated as a result."
No Confidence
On 10 June 2029, Representative of Chongqing-4 Xing Yating (Democracy) announced that Speaker Huo Wuhan is an ineffective leader since he has done barely anything to solve the looming financial crisis, and proposed a motion of no confidence to oust him. It was voted upon the next day, with an overwhelming majority - 132 against 38 - voting in favor of it. Huo thus conceded defeat and resigned.
After some discussions, the Liberal Democratic Party officially announced that Representative of Heilongjiang-1 Shao Hanying (Communist) will become the next Speaker, after numerous members of the Democracy Party refused to take the role. Shao Hanying, the only Communist Party member to not have joined the People's Coalition, is strongly in favor of keeping the ISTA and using alternative methods of decreasing prices.
A Nation Divided
Yesterday, with the protests against rising prices, the government has split into two major coalitions. The People's Coalition, made up of the New Kuomintang and the Communist Party, has declared itself the socialist side and supports the retention of Union Act No. 4 (the Increased Sales Tax Act, or ISTA) and using more legislation to curb capitalist control as well as lower prices. On the other hand is the Liberal Democratic Party, made up of the Democracy Party and Liberal Party (long-time readers should know that these parties were once united) as well as Representative of HLJ-1 Shao Hanying of the Communist Party, who has declared itself more capitalist and would rather repeal Union Act No. 4, and make a new tax code to lower prices. The reason Shao Hanying joined the LDP rather than the PC is because, in a press interview, he said "I disagreed with their choice to continue to add restrictions on corporations. Indeed, I am socialist, but what we need right now is to lower prices, and adding more restrictions will only make this worse."
There have also been a few new House laws. Union Act No. 11, proposed by Representative of HKG-4 Zhang Lin (NKMT/PC), which repeals Union Act No. 3 (the Secrecy of Correspondence Act) since it prevents law enforcement from retrieving potentially important information on criminals. It passed 138 - 28 - 10. Another is Union Act No. 12 (the Minimum Wage Act), proposed by Representative of JLN-2 Shi Yin (CP/PC), which installs a minimum wage of CYN 240 per hour. It passed 147 - 23 - 0.
Too High To Riot
While not a full-scale protests like the anti-war or anti-UEE protests, today citizens have complained in social media and even directly to the government about the high prices of everything. Even with the rate of inflation - 1 USD is now equal to 30 CYN - prices have soared above normal rates; for example, bread would normally cost around CYN 80, but in most supermarkets, it costs CYN 160. People have pinpointed this to Union Act No. 4, the Increased Sales Tax Act, which supposedly makes the burden lighter on the middle class by increasing tax on the wealthy. However, they say that this only means that companies would raise the price of their products, compensating for the tax.
In response, President Son Ryo-Gan announced a few things. His immediate response to the crisis was to order the Chinese Central Bank to begin printing CYN 5000 and CYN 10000 banknotes, but he remarked "This is only a band-aid solution to a hemorrhage on our economy and our people." His main plan was to propose laws allow for tax breaks and tax exemptions, and to possibly set a maximum price for goods and services. This has been well received by the socialist government (the New Kuomintang, the Democracy Party, and the Communist Party have all aligned to be socialist), but the mainly capitalist Liberal Party is in heavy disagreement.
War Never Changes
In response to the Battle of the Three Rivers, a disastrous battle in which Colonel Qian Hua was captured, protests have risen in the capital Taiwan asking for the war to end. Headed by Lian Hanying, the protesters have claimed that the war has brought nothing to the nation but suffering.
President Son Ryo-Gan has stepped in and announced to the protesters "We have heard your voices, and we will do something to solve this problem." Shortly afterwards, Vice Admiral Su Cai's remaining troops - which have been holed up in Manila - have been ordered to return home. A few other naval patrols in the South China Sea have also returned, though aerial patrols remain.
As for the ground forces, President Son said "For now, they will stay in Mindanao. Time will tell if we can return them home." Major General Temujin Uge is still commanding Operation Ultramarine, while Colonel Lian Zheng couped the Democratic Republic and will most likely stay there for a while, as he was found innocent of filibustering.
Laws, Laws, Laws...
Today, the Settlement of the Western Territories Act, drafted by Representative of HLJ-3 Dai Luoyang, was passed with a cool 132 - 38 - 0. Modified from his original Western Territories Housing Project Act, this law would encourage citizens to move to provinces such as Tibet and Xinjiang in order to more rapidly modernize the provinces, as well as increase their productivity.
The Street Crimes Act by Representative of CQG-4 Xing Yating also passed, with an even better 157 - 10 - 3. This standardises crimes and their punishments, such as jaywalking, overspeeding, obstruction, cutting over, and more.
Aggression and Terror
The 4th Day of the Anti-Eurasian protests has led to United Europe-Eurasia taking extreme measures against the government for not acting. Claiming that the protests are a "terror against Eurasian humanity" (note the word choice), they have threatened closing borders and pressing charges with our nation, and even using their police force against our citizens.
Matthew Shaw, the leader of the protests, said that "This is exactly why we are protesting. The unethical efforts of the UEE against nations that are not their own is why we want them out of the country." President Son Ryo-Gan still maintains the possibility of a diplomatic solution, saying "There is no need to protest. The UEE have always been our supporters, and even helped get our country freedom. Protest, in this scenario, will only make matters worse." Lastly, Premier Shen Liuxian said in a press conference "The UEE should realise that this is our jurisdiction, and that a police intervention would be synonymous with a military invasion."
Are We Loyal To Our Own Country?
Yesterday, Matthew Shaw - the (somewhat infamous) leader of the Democratic Party - staged a protest in Chongqing against the United Europe-Eurasian partial control of the city. Soon after, thousands joined by his side in blockading the streets and surrounding administrative buildings. In fact, Fu Zhemin - the leader of the ideologically similar Liberal Party - staged a twin protest in Shanghai, which was equally as successful.
Local efforts have been unable to stop the protests, considering that Matthew Shaw is the Governor of Chongqing. Use of the police force was attempted, but they ended up joining the protests, and to those who did not, Matthew Shaw asked "Are we even loyal to our own country, or want so much to protect the rights of another?" The blocking of roads, as suggested by the UEE, was also considered but was found even worse. And military use was dare not said at all.
Only time will tell what will happen.
Laws, Laws!
The Agricultural Subsidies Act, proposed by Representative of Gansu-3 Pan Jingyi from the Democracy Party, was finally put into vote today and passed with a good 119 - 50 - 1. This new law, working with the Executive Yuan's already existing agricultural subsidies, was said to "nourish and support local farmers that feed the nation."
The Parental Leave Act, proposed by Representative of Hong Kong-5 Qin Shui from the New Kuomintang, was also voted upon today and passed with an also amazing 143 - 24 - 3. This act says whats in its name - that new parents shall be given at least 90 days of paid leave. Expecting women are to also be given paid leave at the start of the third trimester.
New proposals include a Repeal of Union Act No. 6, i.e. the Mandatory Vaccinations Act, since it is "too imposing on the people of the nation" and should be replaced; a Western Territories Housing Projects Act, where houses in the western territories are to be built by the government and to have their prices lowered; and a Street Crimes Act, which would standardise laws regarding traffic violations.
Total War
A few days ago, on 20 May, a small naval skirmish between Vice Admiral Su Cai's squadron of 15 ships and a Monarchist fleet of 10 ships occurred in the Basilan Strait. While Su won the day afterwards, his force was heavily damaged and only 3 ships remained; to repair, he decided to anchor at Iloilo City, to the north under the jurisdiction of East Sakhlin. He believed that even the Monarchists could not dare to attack a neutral nation.
However, he was wrong, since on 22 May a large combined Monarchist force of ships, planes, and some infantry bombarded the city. All 3 ships were sunken, as well as numerous civilian and neutral military ships; the harbour has been devastated as well as much of the city. Vice Admiral Su Cai led the retreat of not only his military but also the civilians in the area to an undisclosed position.
At the same, another Monarchist fleet began bombarding Brookston, the declared capital of the Democratic Republic of South Caleblan. The Battle of Samal was a sudden surprise to Major General Temujin Uge, who was able to prepare enough to stop a naval landing. Not too much has been destroyed so far, but the battle has just begun, so anything could happen.
Government leaders have reacted strongly to the attack. King Brutus I Ivanov reacted "Do not underestimate us and do not try us.... [a]nyone who doubts the strength or determine of East Sakhlin... will doubt it no longer." President Son Ryo-Gan has announced "What was supposed to be a peaceful restoration of democracy has become total war", while Premier Shen Liuxian has remarked "Whoever opposes us will face the full force of freedom."
It's Time to Take Action
Premier Shen Liuxian promised to take action ten days ago after creating so many Ministries, and today he fulfilled that promise. He began the Local Agricultural Administration under the Ministry of Agriculture to subsidise farmers and aid them with supplies; mandated the K-12 educational scheme in all public schools, transitioning it into the next school year; and founded the Narcotic Control Agency under the MHPW to crack down on drug use.
The Liberal Party (and more in the LY)
Today, Fu Zhemin - President of Xinshiye Enterprises and the Democracy Party candidate for Premier earlier this year - leaves his party and creates a new one, the Liberal Party, aimed at protecting the rights of corporations in the nation, as well as propose more capitalist policies. "Without independent business, the economy will collapse, and the nation will lose its unity," he said in his founding speech.
Not too long afterwards, numerous Democracy Party candidates for Governorships and Representativeships have also joined the Liberal Party, and are sending proposals to the LY to introduce more capitalist laws. Speaker Huo Wuhan (NKMT) has been outspoken regarding this, saying "With the corporations controlling the nation, the people will lose their voice", while Premier Shen Liuxian has said "It is the people's will the government should listen to, not to the corporations'."
Within the LY itself, Representative of Hong Kong-4 Zhang Lin (Nationalist) proposal for tariffs on imported goods has gained speed amongst the Representatives, and during voting today the combined force of all three parties led to it being passed with an amazing 145 - 22 - 3. Meanwhile, Speaker Huo Wuhan's Mandatory Vaccinations Act also passed, though with a less stellar 89 - 78 - 3 due to combined disapproval from the Democracy Party and the Liberal Party.
News in the Executive Yuan
Premier Shen Liuxian has announced that the Executive Yuan has created some new Ministries. He started with the Ministry of Defence, which he created (with the advice of the current Cabinet) on 14 May, in reaction to the South Caleblanian Civil War. He continued with the Ministry of Agriculture, created on 16 May with discussions over purchasing Mongolia to supply the country's food needs, and ended with the new Ministry of the Environment, though he has yet to appoint a Minister for that position. Premier Shen closed by suggesting a Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources, a Ministry of Finance and the Economy, and a Ministry of Justice.
Corporate Tycoons "Not Amused" With New Laws
With the passage of Union Act No. 4 two days ago, corporate tycoons across the country have voiced their disapproval of the high sales tax rates. Most notably is Fu Zhemin, the Democracy candidate for Premier in this year's elections, who also controls the largest telecommunications company in the nation, Xinshiye Enterprises. "This is a very bad development because it is us companies that help deliver services to the people, and with the new tax we are unable to do so," he said in an interview. He also said "I do not blame the New Kuomintang, nor the Communist Party, nor even my own Democracy Party. I simply think that the high sales tax is a bad idea."
Other entrepreneurs haven't been so calm in the situation. Yan Jie, the CEO of Kaidao, the nation's main car industry, has boycotted the government by reportedly seizing all police vehicles from his company. He has also blocked off the Legislative Yuan building with his cars, much to the dismay of both the citizens and government officials. Speaker Huo Wuhan commented on this, saying "We need democracy, but not when it infringes on the rights of others... this act is bordering on the level of government obstruction." Some key players in the government, including Representative of HLJ-1 Shao Hanying (the author of Union Act No. 4), have even clamoured for Yan Jie's arrest.
Secret Letters and Big Business Taxes
Yesterday, Representative of Chongqing-2 Yi Hanying (Democracy) proposed a law which would disallow the opening of letters before it has been delivered as long as there is no suspicion of conspiracy, a legal principle known as secrecy of correspondence. Despite receiving much negative press due to Speaker Huo Wuhan stating it "allows criminals to communicate right under the watchful eyes of the law", as well as negative responses from many Nationalist representatives, when it was voted upon today it passed with a 103 - 56 - 11.
Representative of Heilongjiang-1 Shao Hanying (Communist)'s act taxing rich individuals and businesses, which was been formulated into the Increased Sales Tax Act (ISTA), has also been voted upon today, and its positive press worked well for the normally controversial Communists, as it passed with a stunning 156 - 10 - 4.
Speaker Huo Wuhan's own Mandatory Vaccinations Act, meanwhile, is still under scrutiny, especially by the Democracy Party, for infringing too far on the right to choose, though the joint support by the Nationalists and the Communists may win it over in the next LY meeting. And Representative of Hong Kong-4 Zhang Lin (Nationalist) is proposing a 10% tariff on all goods that enter the country, campaigning it by saying it encourages local businesses.
The South Caleblanian Civil War
Minister of Foreign Affairs Qin Wuying announced on May 1 that since the nation of South Caleblan has claims overlapping internationally recognised claims by other nations, particularly over the Philippines between them and East Sakhlin (a major ally), there would be no diplomatic relations between the UCR and SC. Despite this, President Son Ryo-Gan stated that we are a nation devoted to spreading democracy, and since the South Caleblanian people have long protested the authoritarian rule of Queen Lana I, we will be sending military aid to depose the tyrant.
Today, Major General Temujin Uge, sent the 54th Division to Brookston, the capital of South Caleblan, and is making plans to storm the palace and oust Queen Lana. However, the South Caleblanian military is loyal to her, and fighting is expected - marking the beginning of what some call the South Caleblanian Civil War.
More and More Government News!
Today, Premier Shen Liuxian's Executive Yuan has expanded even further, with his Ministry of Science and Technology and Ministry of Education being both accepted. He stated in an interview that "The government has formed well and stability has finally come to the nation." He later added that "Now that the Ministries have formed, it is time for action."
Meanwhile, in the Legislative Yuan, Speaker Huo Wuhan's Nationalisation of Pharmaceutical Companies Act passed with a 145 - 23 - 2. Its main resistance comes from a coalition of the Representatives of Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, and Tianjin, as well as some more fiscal Representatives of other provinces. Otherwise, though, it has strong support and is likely to be supported by a Mandatory Vaccinations Act. To fund these programs though, Representative of Heilongjiang-1 Shao Hanying is proposing a large tax on large businesses and rich individuals; despite the bad reputation of the Communist Party for being too extreme, the proposal has garnered much positive attention.
Roswaesian Presumably Involved in Manchurian Drug Bust
Today, 10 non-Chinese people - 4 of whom have been identified - were caught trafficking drugs into the nation. Led by Filipp Mikhailistin, the gang originated from United Europe-Eurasia and sent drugs into the country through the city of Harbin, but were caught early morning yesterday. However, one supposed members - Ivan "Vanya" Romanovich Preobrazhensky - appears to not be involved in the gang and has merely been unluckily included in the raid. All 10 gang members are currently being detained in Nanjing, in the UEE embassy.
More Government News!
Today, Premier Shen Liuxian's proposal for the Ministry of the Interior passed, while his Ministry of Health was revised to the Ministry of Public Health and Welfare. His Ministry of Science and Technology and Ministry of Education are still under scrutiny, however, though both have been praised by President Son Ryo-Gan, who said they were "vital in maintaining that our nation is at the forefront in beneficial global developments".
Meanwhile, in the Legislative Yuan, the Constitutional Crimes Act passed with a remarkable unanimous 170 - 0 - 0. Proposed by Speaker Huo Wuhan, it states that since the Constitution respects a person's right to self and right to property, among others, act such as murder and theft (and their derivatives) are thus illegal. New possible acts include the one proposed by President Son Ryo-Gan a month ago - regarding the nationalisation of pharmaceuticals - and one regarding capital punishment.
Government Officials Sworn In; First Moves Made
After a government hiatus around the election period, today, all the Governors, Representatives, and other government peoples were sworn in, resuming government business. The new Premier Shen Liuxian's first moves were to create more Ministries - the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Health - as well as planning a Ministry of Science and Technology and a Ministry of Education. Meanwhile, debate over possibly the first Union Act - one regarding laws that should be prohibited according to the constitution - is stirring up.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs Established
Today, President Son Ryo-Gan - who is also the acting Premier - has established the first Ministry within the Executive Yuan, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Appointed as its head, the new Minister Qin Wuying has immediately begun an embassy program with numerous nations, such as East Sakhlin, United Europe-Eurasia, and Laver Island.
The program, which has been successful so far in cementing our nation's stance in international diplomacy and politics, was remarked on by President Son. "This is just beautiful, seeing us grow stronger ties with other countries." He later said that the embassy program is nowhere near finished and that it's to be expected to see many changes in it.
Government QuickNews, Issue I
30 March - President Son Ryo-Gan announced the nationalisation of all pharmaceutical companies in the nation in order to help combat the meningococcal disease outbreak.
1 April - The lone meningococcal disease case in Hong Kong is treated, isolating the outbreak to Taiwan island. The death toll rises to 20 but new cases are dropping rapidly due to the vaccine program.
2 April - President Son Ryo-Gan and Vice President Cheng Kai-Li make a joint announcement where they say that the capital will be moved to Nanjing by August 2029, and probably earlier if the Legislative Yuan agrees.
3 April - The meningococcal disease outbreak is limited to one hospital in Taipei. Domestic and international travel open up to Hong Kong once more.
Meningococcal Disease Outbreak!
Two days ago, Catherine Ivanov, the daughter of Brutus I Ivanov of East Sakhlin and Maria Ivanov of The sakhalinsk empire, was diagnosed with meningococcal disease. Shortly afterwards, numerous hospitals across Taiwan have also reported cases of meningococcal disease in some patients - with one case coming from Hong Kong - and soon hospitals' ER rooms were crowded with emergencies.
With the death toll reaching 10 already, President Son Ryo-Gan has announced that a meningococcal disease epidemic has occurred in the United Chinese Republic, authorising quarantines and preventions of travel. "This is a most worrying development, as it was completely unexpected and would leave many families devastated." He announced a vaccine program in many southern Chinese cities, such as Hong Kong, Guangzhou, and Fuzhou, which would later expand to eastern China and eventually western China.
New Kuomintang Officially Formed; Elections Postponed
Today, on 25 March, President Son Ryo-Gan announced that the elections would be postponed for 15 April. He stated that "We in the government have decided that, to allow the numerous candidates more time to expand on their political views, as well for them to campaign more, we will delay the election two weeks."
He also later announced that the New Kuomintang, established in 2028 by he himself, is now an officially registered political party. Many candidates have been campaigning under the NKMT banner but now they can finally actually be a member of the white sun.
Elections Heating Up!
The 2029 Special Elections are just two weeks away, and the numerous candidates of the New Kuomintang, Communist Party, and Democracy Party are campaigning with all of their might for the many Gubernatorial positions, as well as the national positions of Premier and Speaker (of the Yuan).
For the Premier, currently in the lead is Superior General Shen Liuxian (New Kuomintang), who said that he was "forced" to run by President Son Ryo-Gan; nevertheless, he continues campaigning nationwide, winning over many Communist provinces as well as the New Kuomintang ones. For Speaker, however, it is currently an open ballot - the only defined candidate is New Kuomintang Huo Wuhan, though Major General Temujin Uge (we wrote an article about him just below) is considering running for the Communist Party.
Many people are protesting on social media the fact that numerous military officers (such as SG Shen Liuxian) are running for political positions, with a multitude fearing a military coup. Vice President Cheng Kai-Li has dismissed such claims, simply stating "It is a part of the political process."
A second poll was held in the different provinces to see if there have been any political developments. While the majority of Ningxia is now voting for the Communists, and Henan for the New Kuomintang, everything is the same.
The Manchurian Candidate
Today, Colonel Temujin Uge of the Manchu States, who was the first Manchurian to defect to the UCR, was promoted to Major General by none other than Superior General Shen Liuxian himself. Regarding the occasion, SG Shen said that "His patriotism and determination in the unification of China by the Chinese is truly a monument to how resilient we really are."
MG Temujin, as mentioned above, was formerly part of the Army of the Manchu States as a Colonel, most notably participating in Ivan's War and as a military leader of the independent Manchu States in the (failed) Manchu War for Independence. He is currently leading the occupation of the city of Vladivostok.
White Bear Protests Force East Sakhalinian Royal Family To Seek Refuge in UCR
The White Bear Society, or WBS, is an ultra-nationalist movement in East Sakhlin with currently unknown motives. Yesterday, their paramilitary, the Nation's Claw, drove King Brutus I Ivanov and his wife Queen Maria Ivanov out of the Royal Palace and occupied the capital. They are currently seeking refuge in Taiwan.
There have been critics of President Son Ryo-Gan, such as Democracy Party Chairman Matthew Shaw, who have exaggerated the situation by saying "It appears that the monarchy we have fought to overthrow has found its way back into the nation."
The Battle of the Paracel Islands
A supposed "naval training exercise" by the Sakhalinsk Empire has intercepted one of our own, surrounding the Paracel Islands and threatening naval attacks on our fleet if we do not back down. This is very worrying to the peace that has been developing, and Vice President Cheng Kai-Li has stated that "Even after formally surrendering, the Sakhalinsk Empire still fights us. This is very undiplomatic and is a disgrace to worldwide diplomacy."
Elections Are Rolling Out!
With the unification of all of China, President Son Ryo-Gan has announced a provincial election for each of the new provinces. People are rushing to declare their candidacy for Governor, Premier, and Speaker, and campaigns are on overdrive in many major cities.
Three major political parties have developed. The first is the New Kuomintang, founded by President Son Ryo-Gan and headed in Taipei; they have strong control of the "old" provinces (Taiwan, Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangxi) as well as much of the southwest and east. The second is the Democracy Party, stemming from its Hong Kong roots as well as the Democratic Progressive Party in old Taiwan, led by Matthew Shao (Shao Xiuying) and based in Hong Kong; its control is mainly in the autonomous provinces in the west. Lastly, the Communist Party, obviously coming from the one in former China, is headed by Shi Xuefeng and based in Beijing; its control is mainly in the north.
The Treaty So Far
The Treaty of Nanjing, which would end the 3rd Sino-Japanese War (Chinese War for Independence), is currently under debate, mostly from between East Sakhlin and Roswaesia. The terms so far are as such:
- The UCR gains independence
- The UCR gains all Sakhalinsk Chinese provinces, plus the Paracel Islands and Okinawa
- East Sakhalin / Roswaesia gains the JAO and Vladivostok
- Demilitarized zone in Korea and southern Japan
We've Killed the Hero of Korea
Today, the week-long Battle of the Yangtze has ended, with our forces pushing Sakhalinsk troops north of the river. Their leader, General Hashimoto Kojuro, was injured in the opening fires and was finally killed, allegedly by Superior General Shen Liuxian himself. Their attempted missile strikes were successfully countered by our anti-missile developments in southern China, and Vice Admiral Su Cai has sacked the city of Kagoshima. We're going to win the war.
Inflation Solved
President Son Ryon-Gan has announced today that the Chinese Central Bank reported that the yuan (CYN) has strengthened to 7 CYN to 1 USD, and is getting stronger. The Ministry of Business and Industry (MBI) has adjusted prices, and faith in the government is rising.
National Inflation at an All-Time High!
Today, the Chinese Central Bank reported that the yuan (CYN), formerly 5 to 1 USD, has spiralled out of control and has hit 15 CYN to 1 USD. Prices have skyrocketed and mass protests against the Central Bank are being staged, with the latest one threatening to storm the building and replace the currency.
President Son Ryon-Gan has announced that "Once the currency hits 20 CYN to 1 USD, we will begins discussing a new currency for the nation. For now, we will implement anti-inflation measures". The approval ratings of he himself are still very high but faith in the government as a whole is decreasing.

Guide to being an Ambassador
.
What are your duties?
Starting off
The first thing to do is to create a puppet nation and move it into your assigned region. This allows you to receive their regional telegrams and read their RMB, so you can be informed about what’s going on in the region.
Join both your assigned region's Discord server and regional forums, if they have both. You can usually find links to both of these on the region's World Factbook Entry; otherwise, ask the South Pacific Minister of Foreign Affairs where to find them.
Introduce yourself on both platforms, telling the appropriate officials what your ambassador nation is and that you're the new ambassador from the South Pacific, as well as a little bit about you yourself.
If your assigned region has a section on their forum for embassies, ask or apply for an embassy section or embassy thread for the South Pacific, and introduce yourself there too.
If there are spam games or other public events going on on their forums, you can involve yourself a bit in those to start participating in the region.
On Discord, start chatting with the region's residents and get to know them!
Continuing
The essential piece of being an Ambassador is just to continue to chat, stay involved, and keep tabs on what’s happening in the government and the rest of the region. You should give a weekly update to your assigned Secretary of State and post in the #foreign-affairs-updates channel on the MoFA Discord server if it's something important to know about. It's almost like you’re a spy joining your assigned region to pretend you’re a member and observe it for info, except you’re completely open about it!
When a Cabinet minister sends out a notification on Discord in the #members-hall channel to distribute something to our embassies, you should post it to your region — on their forums, Discord, and/or Regional Message Board, whichever you deem most appropriate -- as soon as possible, preferably within a day.
If an official from your assigned region wishes to talk to the government of the South Pacific, you should help to put them in contact with the Minister of Foreign Affairs. If your region is one of the
seven we have a treaty with, make sure to familiarize yourself with the treaty between us and your assigned region.
Chain of command
Minister of Foreign Affairs (elected every four months by the Assembly)
Secretary of State (at this time, there are five Secretaries of State, each with four assigned regions)
Ambassador (at this time, there are ambassadors in 20 regions)

Beepee Volaworand Auphelia
Much of Volaworand now lies in ruins.
Auphelia reported that 173,841 citizens died, with a further 3,484,915 Volaworandians were injuried.
Early Auphelian estimates put property damage at around £7.4 billion, with potentially more to come once final estimates are confirmed.
"At this point 12% of the population does not have access to clean drinking water, 28% do not have electricity, with a further 13% having intermittent electrical connections. 41% of the nation is without phone service, and 33% do not have internet.
Half of the coastal cities have sunk beneath the waves, and half of Faraday is still in flames. The homeless rate is hovering at around 19%."
The Beepeean Government today announced a multimillion shill package to help our 'chill' but friendly neighbours, Volaworand through this crisis.
Prime Minister Stan Bach, who will be seeking re-election in the upcoming Beepeean Elections, promised to stand side by side with our Volaworandian friends.
The humanitarian package, in line with Article VII of the Beepee-Volaworand Friendship and Cooperation Agreement, includes food, water, SPIT, construction materials and machinery,and financing to allow the Volawardian Governemnt to rebuild after this unnatural disaster.
Beepee is also offering refuge for any Volawoardian who requires assistance and disaster relief areas are being set up across Beepee.
Title: “The Fractured”
Threat level: Level 12 (Maximum)
Species: Human
Description: The Fractured is a young female in her mid to late 20s with a muscular lean frame. Not much is known for her facial features as she has kept her face covered with a hood. The most striking physical feature of her is the multiple self-inflicted cuts all over her body, estimates put them at covering over 74% of her body. She holds the belief that physical and emotional pain make her superior to others and that it unlocks the true potential of a person, as a result she has mutilated herself and does it to others. With all of these factors and her incredibly erratic speech patterns it has been deduced by many different psychologists that she is a psychopath with a possible case of a severe case of schizophrenia, however she has shown to have high intelligence and advanced motor functions.
Security measures: Extreme caution is to be shown in her presence. Despite her unstable state she is an extremely talented fighter and an expert in multiple weapons. She has shown an incredible ability to dodge gunfire as well as blades, however a direct hit will not put her down as she ignores all pain.
Incarceration status: She is currently running free and while several attempts to catch her have been made none have been successful.
Notes: In one observation of her it was noticed by Dr. Redacted that she was having an argument with herself that appeared to get extremely heated as if she was arguing with another person, this has led to some theories that she might suffer from dissociative identity disorder but further study is needed before this is proven.

"Late last night after returning from the Veterans Association of Colivera's annual meet-up dinner the President complained of a mild pain in His chest and upper arm," said Public Relations head Ronald Horner at a news conference this morning, "Naturally we were worried and had His physician examine Him. After a quick examination he told us that the President was probably suffering from heartburn, though we should take Him to a hospital to be sure. Despite the President's protests we decided that it was best that He be taken to hospital. Owing to the unusually dense traffic in the city that night, it was decided that He would be airlifted to the Colivera City Central Hospital. After a few tests it was determined that He had in been suffering from a bad case of acid reflux. As a cautionary measure it was decided that He would be kept under observation for the night." When asked about the rumours that the President had in fact suffered a heart attack, Horner said, "We are very well aware of these rumours and would like to assure the public that they are completely false. The President is fine and will be back to running our great Fatherland in no time."
In recent months it there have been many claims that since the He suffered from a ruptured intracranial aneurysm early last year that the now 98 year old President's health has been slowly deteriorating. Although the Government has consistently denied these claims, one cannot help but notice that the President has hardly been seen in public over the last year. His appearance at the Veterans Association dinner was the first time He was spotted in public in over six months and- according to eyewitnesses at the event- He hardly spoke to anyone. The Government has attributed His scarcity to His extremely busy schedule and "need to rest".
He is expected to be discharged from hospital later this afternoon and- according to the Public Relations Department- "will take a brief break from the stresses of running the Fatherland". In the meantime His second-in-command Vice President Jacob Foster will take the reins of Government.
Despite the adoption of propelled air travel many decades ago, there has never been an official airport, let alone an international one. With the majority of runways being made of dirt and designated for military purposes, many citizens have why an important infrastructure such as this has been absent. Now today construction has been start toward an airport by aircraft manufacturer Gliedier Areosphere on the Island of Rockridge, with plans for two more on the northern and southern fronts the Ceo, Douglas Boeing states,”Now that ColdWyvern will soon have an official airport, that mean that no aircraft dont having to take risk to land. Due to size limitation in Rockridge we will have to install assisted takeoff and arrestor gear, but it is the safest way to fly to center due to the mountains.” The Rockridge airport is scheduled to be completed in two months and construction begins on the other two after then.

Aupheliam locations introduce Smile to Pay technology.
The KFP bucket graces the communist world for the first time as fast-food restaurant KFP #116 Virgo 1 opened today in the Auphelian capital.
VIRGO, Auphelia (VN) _ ″This is just like home,″ said Candace Hackett of Stonebridge, North prarie, a student in Virgo who was among the first customers on opening day. ″I can’t believe that Penguin Ice Cream Rolls are finally here.″
Police were called in to keep order as hundreds of customers waited in lines around the block.
″Both the food and the restaurant are fantastic, and I think Auphelians will like them,″ said the 16-year-old Dragan Petrovic after eating his first Pacific Shrimp Taco. Five of his teen-age friends nodded in agreement.
The freestanding restaurant features a plush interior which can seat 350 visitors and serve over 2,500 meals an hour, operators said. It is set in a neatly decorated, round building that has been extensively renovated with an interior of salmon-colored marble floors and tables, soft illumination, pastel-colored upholstery, and modern paintings.
Diners at the KFP store in Virgo will have a new way to pay for their meal. Just smile.
Customers will be able to use a “Smile to Pay” facial recognition system at the tech-heavy, health-focused concept store, part of a drive by Krill Grill Inc to lure a younger generation of consumers.
Brad MacFuigan, KFP’s Executive Officer, said the store was aimed at “young, tech savvy consumers who are keen to embrace new tastes and innovations”.
The rollout of Smile to Pay in Auphelian stores involves a partnership with Swift technologies, which is behind the facial recognition software. This is the first commercial application of the technology worldwide.
Diners can pay by scanning their faces at an ordering kiosk and entering a phone number - which is meant to guard against people cheating the system.
“Combined with a 3D camera and liveness detection algorithm, Smile to Pay can effectively block spoofing attempts using other people’s photos or video recordings and ensure account safety,” Krill Grill’s director of biometric identification technology, said in a statement.
KFP Continues expansion in Auphelia with 11 more locations.
Globally there are over 115 KFP restaurants, but the Virgo outlet is the first in a socialist country. The Volaworandian corporation is opening eleven more restaurants in Auphelia in the coming weeks. With private enterprise illegal in the frighteningly efficient Auphelian economy, the locations are franchised to a 50-50 percent joint venture with one of Auphelia's largest state-owned agricultural and tourism companies. Details of the financial arrangement have not been made public, but Krill Grill CEO Maddie Hildegard called the expansion "very promising" during an inspection prior to the opening.
Kentucky Fried Penguin's parent company, Krill Grill, Inc is a proudly Volaworandian company. Established in 1989, the brand is well known and loved for its irreverent and comfortable experience that resonates with Volaworandians for great Antarctic/Asian fusion food, affordable indulgences and unique style. Krill Grill currently operates 8 Krill Grills and 22 KFP's across Volaworand and 105 international locations.
Outside of Volaworand and Auphelia, KFP currently operates in Argentinstan, Arthropol, Australian rePublic, Beepee, Beloura, British Falkland Islands, British Pitcairn Islands, Dreshand, El Fiji Grande, Elykyellek, Estradia, Federation-of canada, Gandoor, Kerlodia, Kuronami, New Haudenosaunee Confederacy, North prarie, Paleno, Pilarcraft, Premier knowhere, Pronalle, Reino do Brazil, The royal empire of the lemons, Sacrosanct group, Saralonia, S Georgia and S Sandwich Islands, St Helena Ascension and Tristan da Cunha, South Pacifica Isles, Techganet, and United Europe-Eurasia.

VSA's prototype crew module floating in the Wendell Sea after splash down. Credit: VSA
HALLEY, Volaworand — The Volaworand Space Agency (VSA) successfully demonstrated the launch, re-entry and recovery of a prototype crew capsule. The Space Capsule Recovery Experiment (SRE-1) flight of the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark III (GSLV-3) began with a liftoff at 9:30am local time from the Dr Eric Back Space Center in Halley on the north western coast of Volaworand and was over in 21 minutes.
VSA said in a statement that this “suborbital” experimental mission was intended to test the crew module performance during the critical atmospheric reentry phase of its flight. The 42.4-meter tall GSLV-3 is a three-stage vehicle with a liftoff weight of 630 metric tons. The first stage consists of two solid-rocket motors, each with 200 tons of propellant. Its second stage uses two restartable engines, with 110 tons of liquid propellant. The rocket carried a passive, or nonfunctional, cryogenic upper stage.
The rocket carried a 3,775-kilogram unmanned crew module built and designed in Volaworand. The module, designed to accommodate three astronauts, separated from the rocket at an altitude of 127 kilometers and, after being slowed by parachutes, splashed down in the Wendell Sea.
“It has been a significant day for VSA,” the agency’s chairman, Kent Brodhakrsen, said in a post-launch speech. “The performance of solid and liquid stage motors and the unmanned crew module was as expected.”
As designed, the cryogenic upper stage of the rocket features a propellant loading of 25 tons of liquid-oxygen and hydrogen. But in this flight only the first two stages were fired; the cryogenic upper stage was inert. VSA said in a statement that the flight aimed “to validate the re-entry technologies envisaged for crew module and enhance the understanding of blunt body re-entry aerodynamics and parachute deployment in cluster configuration.” With the successful recovery of the crew module “Volaworand has moved a step closer to its first domestic manned launch.”
VSA has sought an additional £1.1 billion for a Human Spaceflight Programme but Volaworand’s government has yet to approve the budget request. Brodhakrsen said that VSA could independently send astronauts to space within 12 to 24 months of getting a government nod.
Minister of Science & Research, Neil DeBosse announced that while cabinet has not yet made a final determination on funding for the Human Spaceflight Programme, they have in principle agreed to a plan conduct astronaut training in Midand, which could lead to Volaworand's first person in space, albeit aboard a Midandian mission.

21 January is Beepee Founding Day. It marks the anniversary of the Founding of Beepee, which occurred on 21 Janaury 2018.
Customs
Beepee Founding Day is a national holiday marked by patriotic displays.
Taking place at the height of the Beepeean summer, many events are held outdoors including parades, fireworks displays, barbecues, national anthem singing and flag waving events.
Many public and private buildings are adorned in red, white and black, the colors of the Beepeean flag.
Flight will test the module's re-entry characteristics.
Crew Module recovery test launch set for Sunday.
SRE-2 The experimental space capsule recovery test flight of a unmanned crew module is scheduled for next Sunday, aboard the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) Mark III, on a suborbital trajectory, with the latter splashing down in the Southern Ocean about 21 minutes after the rocket lifts off from Halley.
This flight would test the crew module's re-entry characteristics, said Kent Brodhakrsen, chairman of the Volaworand Space Agency (VSA). Recovery of the spacecraft from the ocean, carried out with the help of the Coast Guard, would also be “an involved task.” Back in July 2018, VSA had orbited a small 550-kg spacecraft, the Space Capsule Recovery Experiment (SRE-1), that carried out remote-controlled experiments in the microgravity conditions of space. After 12 days in orbit, the spacecraft was successfully brought back, landing in the ocean with remarkable precision. This provided experience with re-entry, a prerequisite for manned spaceflight.
A project report prepared by VSA envisions carrying out a manned mission before the end of 2020. Thus far, the Government has not cleared such a project. However, the Government had funded the development of critical technologies needed for a manned mission, according to Brodhakrsen. VSA has shortlisted a pool of potential astronauts in anticipation of approval.
The 3.7-tonne crew module being tested next week will be the same size, shape and weight as the capsule that is being developed to accommodate up to three astronauts. It will be equipped with the heat-protecting tiles and parachute system of the manned version.
While a capsule in orbit around Earth will re-enter with a velocity of over 28,000 km per hour, this test will see the GSLV Mark III leave the crew module at a height of about 125 km with a velocity of around 19,000 km per hour. The crew module carries sensors that will make measurements of over 200 parameters during the flight, including the temperature, pressure and stress experienced at various points in the structure. “This flight will give us tremendous confidence in our design and provide important inputs for proceeding with development of the manned capsule,” observed Brodhakrsen, "paving the way for a future Human Spaceflight Programme."
After separation from the GSLV Mark III, six liquid-propellant thrusters on the crew module will be used to correct any perturbations that occur during separation and bring the capsule down at the correct angle for re-entry into the atmosphere.
Once re-entry starts at a height of about 80 km, the thrusters will cease to operate. As the crew module streaks through the atmosphere, the air around it heats up and the spacecraft slows down. The heat shield at its base will be exposed to temperatures of around 1,000 degrees Celsius. (In re-entry from orbit, the temperature could touch 1,600 degrees Celsius.)
At a height of about 15 km, with the capsule travelling at 839 km per hour, the complex process of deploying the parachutes begins.
The crew module carries two independent sets of parachutes, both of which are simultaneously deployed. First, the 2.5-metre diameter pilot parachutes come out, followed by the 6.5-metre drogue parachutes, which cut the capsule’s velocity down to 180 km per hour.
Then the main parachutes are deployed at a height of about 5 km. These parachutes, each 31 metres in diameter, are the largest ever made in the country and were developed by the Volaworand Antarctic College Space Sciences Department.
On splashdown, the main parachutes will be immediately detached from the crew module and a beacon giving its position activated. A fluorescent green dye will also be emitted to aid in locating the spacecraft.
In the coming test, the crew module could experience decelerations of up to 13 g. But, in a mission with humans onboard, the capsule’s thrusters would continue to operate till parachute deployment began, adjusting the spacecraft's orientation and trajectory, and keeping deceleration levels to less than 4 g. (One g being equivalent to the tug of Earth's gravity.)

VOTE ON WORLD ASSEMBLY RESOLUTION;
GENERAL ASSEMBLY; REPEAL GA#454
PROPOSED: Nagatar karumuttu chettiar
The General Assembly,
Acknowledging the efforts of GA Resolution #454 to prevent debts from inhibiting a citizen's right to vote,
Understanding though brevity is important in many cases, the extreme it was brought to in this resolution was counter productive,
Seeing numerous loopholes in the resolutions that more cruel states could employ, such as, but not limited to:
Criminalizing outstanding debt under specific conditions to imprison the individual for the duration of the voting,
Making outstanding debt punishable by law through a choice of forfeiture of voting rights or imprisonment,
Passing legislation revoking the citizenship of a citizen, and thus their right to vote if they are indebted,
Understanding that the rights of those living in autocratic nations in regards to their political rights are not addressed,
Noticing the resolution does not specify on what debtors can not be stripped of the right to vote on,
Seeing that such a loosely worded clause is open to exploitation,
Believing the World Assembly Delegation of the nation which passed the legislation could write a more conclusive piece of legislation for this issue,
Hoping that member nations will create thoughtful and articulate legislation with regards to unforeseen consequences and in consideration to the variety of member states' cultural normalities on this issue,
Wishing that in the period the legislation is active its loopholes will not be exploited at the expense of the citizenry of nations across the multiverse,
Hereby repeals GA Resolution #454.

My congratulations go to Erinor, who is a fine man and a fine Delegate. As many of you know, I love and respect Erinor greatly, and I am excited and pleased he has won this election. His excellent campaign was strong and solid and he is a deserving winner. I look forward to his tenure as Delegate and ask all South Pacificans to join me in supporting him during the next six months.
I wish to thank those who took the time to 'Vote for the Bee'. It means so much that you felt I could represent you as Delegate. And to all those who exercised their democratic right, I applaud you. You make TSP great!
This campaign has been a long and enjoyable campaign and I encourage anyone interested in the politics of the South Pacific to join our Assembly and support our Government.
I wish to thank my fellow candidates in the first round. Their campaigns were strong, fun and showed the great depth of talent we have in TSP. I also wish to thank the assembly legislators who gave me the opportunity to achieve my dream and reach Round 2 with Erinor.
I wish to specifically mention North prarie who provided me with great support, guidance and was a superb campaign manager over the whole campaign. (I'm sorry I couldn't quite overcome Erinor.)
Finally, again, Erinor, my delightful Delegate, may your reign be all that you want it to be.
Forever, your servant, Beepee.
Good friends and fellow soldiers, with me stand by
We’re engaged in this mighty war, we either win or we die
We’re engaged in this mighty war, I hope peace will come though
For you never can quite tell, which way the mage winds will blow
Raise the Flag for our country's life, and for you and your love's
From atop our walls of rock, defend up above
From atop our walls of rock, will fight down below
For you never can quite tell, which way the mage winds will blow.
Raise the Flag for your past life, And your new one as well
Even though we're out numbered, I feel will prevail
I hope there will be total peace, between the living and the dead,
But at least an end to this bloody war, will do me good instead
Raise the Flag for our country's life, and for you and your love's
From atop our walls of rock, defend up above
From atop our walls of rock, will fight down below
For you never can quite tell, which way the mage winds will blow.
But If no peace should come to us, We’ll stand up and fight
We’ll fight with all we have, till there no more day’s light
I wish that they'll regret, their choice to advance
For it not our fault that we’ve been cursed, with a second chance
Raise the Flag for our country's life, and for you and your love's
From atop our walls of rock, defend up above
From atop our walls of rock, will fight down below
For you never can quite tell, which way the mage winds will blow.

Incumbent president Manu Macaron is reelected for his second term. However, the Marine Le Crayon is closing the gap between the two : result of the second round latest month were 66.10% for M. Macaron and 33.90% for M. Le Crayon. The other important lesson from this election is the surging abstention : it was 32.23% for the first round and 36.13% for the second, the highest ever seen in a Thransse presidental election.
President Macaron's program will be in the same line as the one of the previous term. However, his biggest challenge will be the 2019-03 legislative election, during which the assembly might be taken by the opposition.

The Viltian people are adamant transhumanists, few live without some form of cybernetic augmentation. Parents can modify their children from birth, if they so please. This is partially due to the massive influence of our national religion, the Church of Mekhane, the Broken God.
The Viltian people value capitalism and their right to own weapons, as well as graft weapons to their bodies.
Viltian fashion usually involves layered clothing, goggles, and respirators, due to the unfortunate pollution levels of our ever-productive nation.
Our police force is all-powerful and practically omnipotent, with criminals being detected and snuffed out with brutal efficiency. Criminals who are allowed to walk away usually do so with a limp, remembering to never compromise the safety of his fellow Viltians again.
So now you know all you need to know about Vilt's people. Feel free to mingle with our hardworking populace while you can, before being sent back to wherever you came from if you aren't shot on the spot.
Or we're too busy
We say we have other things to do
And "I'll take a break when I'm dead!"
And then we end up laying in our beds.
We suspect time to be a non existent thing
That we created to see each other
But now time has stopped us from seeing others
Time, Time it passes like a north wind
We don't see it, but it's there
Like eagle wings it flaps, causing a small ripple
Then fleeing the scene in search of something new
It passes and moves on, like the joys of 12AM New Years.
Then we're empty again.
And everything is normal.
We fight in the rat race killing for #1
But #1 makes us a target too
The cycle continues, much like Time
And your experiences are nothing like mine
The mines in which ores gallore comes from,
They collapse.
We collapse
Even a soaring eagle can fall
The land can erode and our souls can cry
But time runs free
Yet miners find new caves to exploit
Eagles get back up
We find our peace with others
The land is still beautiful
And It still serves a purpose

Basically, De Imperii Americae is an alternate universe where the political and economic chaos of the Articles of Confederation persisted into the early 19th century, until a (currently unnamed) political strongman, inspired by Napoléon Bonaparte, proclaimed himself emperor. The newly founded American Empire assisted Napoléonic France far more heavily than they did irl, leading to a Napoléonic victory in the Napoléonic wars.

You notice they'res often a pattern in how the scene plays out. They'res a beginning, a middle, and an end. That's a plot. The plot should drive everything, and everything is driven by the characters. The plot could pulse up and down, or could gently rise. But most of the time, it finishes where it began.
You can imagine what they do next when they leave. Like where are they going? What will they do? Will they go to a resturant? Will they go home and play video games?
Now you gotta imagine those scenes for yourself, with out of this world realms and kingdoms. You gotta unleash your childhood imagination. Then you need to use it to create art and beauty.
Don't you have something else to do? Like work, or take a bath, or sleep, or... or read a real book?!
Yeah please leave and do something else.

History, WOOOOO!
I stumbled upon NationStates while surfing the net for simulation games on October 3, 2018. So, yes, I came here from a Reddit post. From October to early-December, i was on and off, but in mid-December, i became more and more active, becoming the cute catgirl you see today!
Anyways, let's begin the campaign!
Why vote for me?
Hey! When you vote for me, you increase the chances of having:
1) 2 goddesses in LC! (If your wondering, it's me and Auphelia)
2) A female-majority LC crew who can understand you and help you better.
3) 3 responsible people who can keep the RMB safe from threats like spammers, recruiters and the like.
4) A neko who can hug you when you're down.
5) A gentle neko who is not afraid to uphold the law.
6) A neko who is lenient, yet caring to younger nations.
7) A neko who is trained in persuading people to stay in TSP!
8) A neko who's online to regulate the RMB when the other LCs are sleeping!
9) You want us to do something like allow double-posting? Ask me for any change, and I'll put it up for a vote in POLLS!
THE 4 FIELDS
Want to ask a question? TG me with the question, and i'll put it here with my honest answer!
Oh! A question, from.... Conkert Steb? The handwriting on the letter is rather terrible. I'll just assume this is Concrete Slab.
What makes you different from any other generic candidate?
HUGGLES!
Why did you make the part in the campaign dispatch where it says "THE 4 FIELDS" flesh colored and hard to read against the background?
1. I use the dark theme.
2. It's pink now.
3. Am I a joke to you?
1. What is your stance on RMB RP?
2. Do you plan on beginning a daily news dispatch?
3. How will you (if you plan to at all) promote the forums, discord, and WA?
1. I think RMB RP is a good way for people to connect and have fun when in moderation, but if it gets out of hand, it can disrupt RMB happenings.
2. No. I do not have enough time to scan through every RMB post for news.
3. I will put a daily "ad" of sorts with links for TSP Forums, discord and WA.
Daft Tinkle here, TSP expose news, how responsive will you be to demands placed on your time by various members of your entourage?
Since Aidenfieeld refuses to answer my "Avian Flu" question I will ask you this miss Kerlodia:
1) You state that you will hold "Weekly RP Hours". With the current RP rules on the RMB are you considering changing them or are you going to enforce them and nudge RP's to their respective "Knowhere" and "Psomewhere" regions?
2) You call yourself a goddess. We all know how our goddess and savior Auphelia earned that title. How have you earned it?
*Sets down a catnip covered stuffed owl and munches on marshmallows while awaiting your answers*
1) I'll change the rules of the RMB to allow RP, but within boundaries.
2) I can summon objects, timewarp, telekinese you into a wall, and delete you from existence. Need I say more?
Ahem.
Hello, reporting here for Felis Weekly.
As one with intimate knowledge of cats, being one myself, I know that it can be a problem how we cats spontaneously go to sleep in the middle of doing something.
Now, we wouldn't want a Local Councilor who fell asleep on duty, would we?
How do you plan to ensure that you don't fall asleep at a vital moment?
I'm a catgirl. I can stay awake like any normal human being.
As you're a cat how do you think you'll manage with a penguin, which is a bird... will you want to attack, kill and eat poor Volaworand at every possible opportunity?
1. I'm a feminist, and I hate the sexist internet culture. But how do you think a majority female LC will "focus on you and your needs" than a male LC, considering the overwhelming majority of TSP is male?
2. How can we trust your moderation of inmapropriate content, as a good amount of the innapropriate content in the floof crisis stems from/is your posts?
2. I have my own limits. So, I will enforce some limits that are slightly less lenient than mine.
You have had to interview a candidate for a position in a team in your company. You have been given no insight into what their job might be except that it is a senior position. You also haven't been told what the team the candidate will work for actually does.
You are asked to provide extensive written feedback on the candidate.
During the interview it becomes apparent that they don't actually know anything.
What feedback do you give?

A group of tourists in Winter-Topia actually liked it there and say that we fund the environment alot... Although of you know thr environment isnt funded in any way... Alot of people actually say that its a fake fact about the country. Alot of the things are from nature like curved mountains and mount Faskel,school loadouts and more. I dont think its really an issue but its wierd.

As a deeply conservative/patriot, I write those factbooks from my personal experiences/emotions which I get from music and information.
I play this game for the factbooks, it's my own library, the nation is the body which holds this body.
Nothing in the world will change my conservative way of thinking.
Later today a kid started complaining about the cold of Winter-Topia but alot of people started saying that its not starting millions of more complains from the child to the point that the kid went outside and never came back and everyone is trying to find the little child... Winter-Topian scientists have tried to find the child with Google Maps and recently one of them found the child but wasn't able to make a screenshot of the road because rhe power went down and then it came back. The person later that day found the little childs road but there was just his favourite teddy bear and alot of water drops and the teddy bear was in pieces... More people tried to find it and it became an internet mistery with the name "Sad Child 3033" after it became so popular that the kid came back in his house and made video recordings with his voice or songs that he made almost like Cicada 3033 people said that they saw the child but since he changed his voice and style it was impossible to tell and that was him...

Leader Hondunurs Mendeons Not Seeking Reelection; Critics Calling Next Election "Tough"
January 10th, 2019
Written by Derell Sedson
Leader Hondunurs Mendeons has said he would not seekreelection
In a recent press conference surrounding rumors about the next 2019 Midandian General Election, current Midandian leader Hondunurs Mendeons has declared he would "not" be seeking re-election and would step down by the end of the year.
Many rumors have surfaced that Midandian leader Hondunurs Mendeons would resign from his position, citing stress and heavy criticism for his actions during the Dark of Midandia, in which his government had done little to combat the Midandian extremist terrorist group Le Front de Liberation du Midand.
However, in an earlier press conference, it was revealed that Mendeons is not resigning, but is not seeking reelection during the 2019 Midandian General Election, though he cited it was so that he could "give new and rising candidates a chance".
Political critics and analysts have called the next election "tough", citing that while the current number of candidates is at a low, the competition between all of them has been "tense".
Current candidates include Lewis Devvon, who is the head of the Midandian National Democratic Party (MiNDeP), who promises a more democratic government and a reform of multiple current practices under the incumbent government. Also included are Drent Kellen, head of the Midand Labrador Party, and Lucy Cress, head of the Husky Liberal Party.

-much of India and Pakistan are depopulated war zones still recovering from the India-Pakistan conflict of 2056, chemical and nuclear weapons were exchanged and there is a zone of exclusion around much of the region, only GI military personnel are allowed entry into the area. The land is roamed by marauders and warlords trying to avoid the irradiated terrain while the only recognized entity functioning in India-Pakistan is the Hyderabad State, which is just the city of Hyderabad and surrounding areas, it has a population of 13 million people and is a democratic state.
-Central Asia has undergone much more desertification and most of the region doesn't support life as the only main entity functioning in the area is Afghanistan. Nomads still roam the lands as well.

#1: Hugs and floofy foxes.
You only need to spend 5 minutes in the TSP RMB to see this one! The foxes of the region enjoy hugging everyone and each other. Floof is frequently mentioned in the affectionate exchanges, and I believe it to be super soft fur that also holds defensive merit. Of all the tropes, this one is the easiest to spot!
#2: The undying love between The Solar System Scope and Si-topia.
Almost as common as number 1 and only halted by time zone differences and certain tropes listed below, the affection between these 2 goes beyond trope number 1 and captures the imagination of many residents. As to why it became a thing, go check out a factbook on TSP lore that may have been published by someone else.
#3: Murdering The Solar System Scope.
Don't ask me why this is a thing... Anyway, it occurs relatively frequently and nations newer to the region are more likely to be the instigators. That's not to say that the long standing residents stay out of it, of course.
#4: Wiping the memory of The Solar System Scope and/or Si-topia
This one usually occurs to make 1 forget about the other due to their relationship. Again, this is relatively common and can probably be observed within a week. Once again, newer nations often instigate it but older residents don't always stay out of it. I for one am slightly sick of seeing this particular trope...
#5: Auphelia's might
Less frequent than the previous 4, but by far the most entertaining! Occasionally, the resident goddess of TSP will grace the RMB with her presence and destroy someone in a highly creative and gruesome way. Keep an eye out for this: it is great fun to watch, unless of course you are the subject of the torment, in which case...well...good luck!
That concludes the first edition of TSP tropes! I'll add more when I find more!

2. While the technical term for the leaders of Kaenen are "king," the term is used asexually, as both sexes can be kings. Universally, their partners are referred to as consorts. The nation itself is rather open about most deviancies, though both kings are expected to have a clear heir at all times -- in desperate times, nephews, nieces, cousins and siblings are looked at as potential heirs, with a complicated "closeness" unless otherwise named.
3. Kaenen is a largely secular nation, and treats extremists intent on converting it with force lethally. It is and has always been unapologetic in this capacity. Infamously, a militia had attempted a coup to instate religious rule in 2002, and was put down to the man, offering quarter only to those that immediately surrendered. This earned the nation the scrutiny of the international community, though Kaenen has remained unapologetic, stating that they had posed a direct threat to the Kaenenite people.
4. Annually, all political officials, including the current kings, must prove themselves mentally fit to hold their position. If they aren't, the next in line for succession takes their mantle.
5. Kaenen is one of the few countries that legally allows its citizens to take up bounty hunting, as well as overt mercenary work. To spite the international community, Kaenen is known to offer letters of marque to "legitimize" independent contractors.
6. Most nations which are part of the EU or UN have substantial trade embargos on Kaenen. Despite this, Kaenenite weapons and armor find themselves on the international market more and more.
7. Kaenen's royal families are expected to command in any military conflict. Due to the sheer quantity of arms manufacturers in Kaenen, they and their royal guards are constantly drilled in some of the most cutting edge equipment in the world, despite the small population of the kingdom.
8. Technically, tourism is not illegal to Kaenen from most nations, though to get there you often have to travel through typically unsavory means, as most major cruise liners and airlines are prohibited from taking people there. Most people who go to Kaenen intend to stay, and so long as they pass the vetting process, are typically permitted to stay. In fact, Kaenen has proven violently protective of naturalized citizens, going to war three times in the past hundred years, in order to protect as few as one when larger nations have attempted to strongarm them into extradition.
9. While initially built upon a natural archipelago, the nation of Kaenen has been expanded to several artificial islands, converted ships, and flotillas. This is partially done to counter space issues, because the Kaenenite people despise modern and postmodern construction, viewing it as too ugly to look upon and too weak to stand the rigors of time and tide.
10. The Kaenenite people are not racially divided, and naturalization and assimilation are very highly held as a national pride.
11. The ethnic make-up of Kaenen is roughly: 43.2% Caucasian, 27.1% Asian, 19.7% African, 6.8% Mixed, 2.1% Hispanic, 1.1% Other, according to the previous census.
12. While the Kaenen Lion is extremely common as a pet and especially among police and military, it has been growing endangered in the wild. It is favored over domestic dogs due to its fiercer temperament and unique fur pattern.
Issue III
Author's note: most of this article was written back in April last year, with this version only slightly altered since then to bring it up to date
April Fools Card Game - What Did People Think?
Last year’s April Fool's minigame was a card trading game, perhaps in honour of the card trading games surrounding the association football World Cup later that year. The mechanics were relatively simple: each nation was assigned a classification, ranging from Common to Legendary, most likely based upon the number of badges a nation had, including Issue authorship, WA resolution authorship, and World Census badges. You could then open loot boxes, and you would receive a semi-random assortment of cards, favoured slightly towards nations from your region. Then you could trade them on the open market or junk them for a set price. Here, I give my opinions on the event, along with those of several TSPers who were actively involved in it.
Many people were keen to discover what rarity their own card was. Land Without Shrimp was pleased with what he found: “I was pleasantly surprised - nay, shocked! - to see that my card was an Ultra-Rare. Purple suits me, so I was happy.” I was also very happy to discover that my main nation had been awarded Legendary status - a suitable reward for strategically clicking buttons every day for the last 3 years.
When opening loot boxes, the first thing to consider is which cards you pulled, and what people’s reactions to that were. As Issue Editor Candlewhisper Archive noted, there were far more nations classified as ‘Common’ than the rarer classifications. This meant that, despite most packs containing mostly common cards, those of a rarer variety were actually just as prevalent. Essentially, the likelihood of pulling a common card was high, but there were far more common cards than any other type, leading to them being no more prevalent than the ones which were supposed to be rare. Whether this was just an accident, or some sort of social commentary on the part of Max Barry, we may never know.
Regardless of how rare they really were, pulling a Legendary was still a fulfilling moment for many people, with North Prarie saying “I pulled an Aleisyr, Glen-Rhodes, and issues editor, so I get to shove that in people's faces xD”. Land Without Shrimp was also very pleased with the Legendary card that he pulled, saying “my only Legendary I pulled was Yuno herself. And I could not bring myself to sell it, even though the price was quite high!”, which brings us nicely onto the next aspect of this game… trading.
Rather like NationStates itself, there was no right or wrong way to play this game, and the bustling marketplace reflected the fact that different people had many different goals. Many people wanted to collect all of their own nations and those of people they knew, such as Goverwal, who said “There is the fun of trading in order to gain control of your puppets and friends.” Land Without Shrimp gives an incredibly detailed review of how his priorities changed throughout the event, and it would be a shame to cut it, so I will just quote it in full here.
“My only goal was to grab a copy of my own card and see how many other high-rarity cards I could turn up.
Then... as I kept opening loot boxes and obtaining new cards (I must say, the quick respawn time on these boxes early on definitely made me much more tied to my phone!), the madness began to take me. I wanted to see how many cards I could collect.
I soon realized I had some disadvantages compared to others though. I don't have any puppet accounts, which meant there was no way I was going to harvest as many cards as some people. I also soon realised that I am a softy compared to many, and I didn't have the heart to charge a lot for most cards. I figured if people wanted a card, I might as well let them have it for cheap. This meant I wasn't really making that much bank off of cards that I did sell. And lastly... I sorta like sleep. Which means eventually every night I'd stop clicking that big green button as I drifted away to the land of dreams...
So, a few days into the event my goal changed. I figured I didn't really care how many cards I had (since surely I'd not be able to collect the vast quantity of cards that some were), so I decided instead I wanted to collect notable TSP cards. I already had grabbed my Erinor card (as sitting delegate and good friend, of course I had to have his!), and I then targeted the LC. Havenfell and Midand were obtained relatively quickly, although the cunning Auphelia card took a bit longer to buy. By this point, since I'd decided I didn't need any cards that weren't TSP, I had sold or junked all my non-TSP cards (I even junked a bunch of Epics that no one was buying!). This gave me enough bank to work on my next goal - all notable TSP personages. I started looking through my endo list & some of the top-ten stat lists for worthy targets, and I soon had buy offers out on quite a few! I figured TSP officers and government personages would be difficult to buy but tried to get as many of those cards as I could as well. Erinor may have gotten sick of me excitedly texting him each time I obtained another one of my target cards! I also desired the cards of my RMB-friends and so put out offers for those as well! I got asked once, "Why are you looking to buy my Common card?" Hey - if you're active in the RMB or our community, I want your card - there are no "common" people here.
And to make a long story short, I eventually concluded the week-long event with what I feel is a worthy TSP collection. I even grabbed the elusive Escade and Tim Stark cards the last day(s) of event, surprisingly enough! Roavin, most sadly, was the one card I wanted most that I was never able to obtain.”
My strategy, in contrast, was peak narcissism as I simply tried to collect every single one of my puppets, before handing over my spare money to Erinor to help him achieve his rather more ambitious collection.
The final question is surrounding the future of this game. Erinor wonders how big a part it will play in the future of NationStates as he says “I have no idea what I'll do once it starts up again. Will it have lasting appeal, or will it be like the Challenge option?” With an altered version of this game finally back up, it seems we will soon find out.

The nation's No. 1 leading newspaper!
Keepers of the Peace
Novosti is proud to report that the peacekeeping operation organized by Regent Karl Barentsev in Siberia and Alaska were successful, and Sakhalinsk control has been restored. Any pockets of resistance were snuffed out and the region is planned to be populated by those currently living on Honshu Island. In addition, there appears to be a tunnel being built underneath the Bering Strait, most likely to facilitate trade between Asia and the Americas.
Oil in the North
Today, Regent Karl Barentsev announced that as part of the NERD Program, the Sakhalinsk Empire will begin peacekeeping operations in Siberia and Alaska to regain control of the region. A long-forgotten treaty granted Kamchatka and Chukotka to the Empire but as these regions were under the control of foreign powers this was not enforced. With their decline, Barentsev said he wishes to maintain world peace by having these regions be under Sakhalinsk protection. Experts have pointed out that Siberia and Alaska are rich in oil, and with the loss of Sakhalinsk influence in the South China Sea, this may be Barentsev's way of boosting the economy once more.
World Calendar Abolished!
Today, Regent Karl Barentsev announced that the World Calendar, which was adopted by the previous governments in order to simplify dates, would be abolished in favor of the original Gregorian calendar. "While I do understand the benefits of a standardized month and week, it is more impractical to have to convert between this new calendar and the old one which everybody else uses."
Men in Suits
Regent Karl Barentsev has announced that the National Energization, Reconstruction, and Development Program (NERD Program) will be established in order to "once more bring forth prosperity" in the nation. The Program will include, but not be limited to:
- A nationalization of the press (including this newspaper)
- The transfer of the capital to Sendai to allow for the more economic redevelopment of Tokyo
- The expansion of the existing naval base in Okinawa
- Increased naval patrols in the north of the country
A New Tsar
Regent Karl Barentsev has announced that Jean-Pierre d'Orléans from Bourgugne will be crowned the next Tsar of the country. "We have found the most fitting candidate out of many and we firmly believe that he is best suited to lead this nation. In line with democratic2 principles, he will be nought but a constitutional monarch." Regent Barentsev is also posed to deliver more announcements in the near future.
Salvator Mundi?
Today, Regent Karl Barentsev announced the creation of the Sakhalinsk Arms, Vehicles, Infrastructure and Ordnances Regulation, or SAVIOR, which would oversee the arms manufacturing industry in the country. Citing the numerous failures of the Sakhalinsk military in recent years, he stated that new technologies must be acquired or developed to regain the country's status as a global superpower. To go along with the establishment of SAVIOR is the introduction of a new type of plasma machine gun, the I-1, which is less powerful but significantly lighter and more practical for use in the field.
Thy Kingdom Come?
General Karl Barentsev has made his first public statement after the abdication of Tsar Charles I. "People of the Sakhalinsk Empire, these past few weeks have brought nothing but fear, terror, and loathing in each and every one of us. From a period of relative stability after the downfall of terrorist threats, a new one emerged from within: corruption. And this corruption appears to have perverted the hearts and minds of those dearest to us: our Tsar, the face of our great nation; our Prime Minister, the paragon of our democratic values; and our other government leaders. With their removal came a time of unrest in which the power-hungry attempted to use to gain power in their stead. I was given no choice as I, the leader of the military which has so protected us from dangers external, was now forced to protect us from dangers internal."
He then began commenting directly on the monarchy situation. "The abdication of our beloved Tsar Charles I has certainly brought about unrest within our people, especially those who wish to do away with the Tsardom entirely. I cannot let that happen. This person, though often from other nations, is the face of what we hold dear as a country. Our values of honor, nobility, and nationalism. That is why I will have to prolong martial law, as much as it is a flagrant violation of this country's constitution. Extraordinary times are upon us, and extraordinary measures must be taken. In addition, I have taken it upon myself to name myself Regent of this country while I and other top military officials assemble a Regency Council to select a new Tsar. We have already sent invitations to three countries, of which one declined, one has yet to respond, and one has gotten back with a candidate. This prospecting individual is Jean-Pierre d'Orléans, twelfth son of King Henri VI d'Orléans from Bourgugne. As we speak, he is en route to our nation as we discuss his potential role as our Tsar. This would no doubt reconnect us to our European roots and bring forth a new era of prosperity between our nations."
"Once more, I hope you understand that we are in a crisis right now, and drastic measures were taken. But soon, order will come to those that deserve it."
Tsar Charles I Abdicates!
After many weeks of absence, Tsar Charles I has finally made a public appearance... announcing his abdication. In his speech, he said "The Fourth Suisse Secrets Leak is nothing but a falsehood meant to damage the reputations of world leaders and bring about anarchy" but that he will abdicate anyways as "The people have clamored for my deposition and I, a monarch of the people, will abide by their commands as a final gesture of goodwill." General Karl Barentsev was seen escorting Tsar Charles I to a convoy of helicopters which would take him back to his home country of Monte Cristo and, as Tsar Charles I does not have a legal heir, is posed to make a statement regarding the selection of a new king.
Military Implements Martial Law
General Karl Barentsev has declared that due to the collapse of the government and extreme protests, the military would be taking over administration until further notice. This announcement was made at a point when the protests were already slowing down, but following his statement resistance has dropped dramatically. Schools are reopening and businesses are returning to normal, and some have cheered this move, but most others fear a second dictatorship. As always, Tsar Charles I is nowhere to be found.
Whole Government Resigns!
In a shocking twist following the scandal that was the 4SS leak, the entirety of the Parliament, including the House of Lords, has resigned. Very few have given a reason as to why, save for interim PM Otake Toichi, who simply said "I wish that this country returns to normal." Police forces protecting the Imperial Palace in Tokyo are reportedly starting to be overwhelmed by protestors who wish to "see Tsar Charles I's head on a pike", according to one protestor.
General Karl Barentsev has stated that he is willing to implement martial law, despite the sour taste of dictatorship being a not-too-distant memory. "As is often said, extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. I would go ahead and say that these protestors are 'extraordinary' in 'protecting democracy' but frankly, they are debasing themselves."
Protests Erupt Over 4SS!
Even after the resignation of Fujita Kanesada from his position as Prime Minister, alongside many Members of Parliament, protests against the politicians mentioned in the 4SS leak have only grown. In fact, they have taken over much of the country, and the economy is visibly slowing. A man who has wished to remain anonymous stated that from his condominium balcony in Tokyo, he could say "what must be millions at this point taking over the streets, like ants after you disturbed their anthill." Another person from Kitakyushu has said that "The restaurant stall where I work gets maybe a hundred customers on a normal day... Today, there were so many protestors that business has never been better." They also said "I simply wish for the best for this country." Interim PM Otake Toichi has called for order, and simultaneously announced the suspension of classes due to the disruptions.
PM Kanesada Resigns!
Following the Fourth Suisse Secrets leak, PM Fujita Kanesada has resigned from his position. In his statement, he said "I am only doing this as I firmly believe that the country no longer sees me as its leader, but I maintain that I did not participate in this scheme and those who claim that I have done so are misguided." Many MPs of the Nationalist Party have also resigned, either in solidarity or because they too were in the leak. MP for Nagasaki Otake Toichi of the Labour Party was chosen to be the Interim Prime Minister while an election for April 4th is scheduled. Once again, Tsar Charles I has refused to comment.
Lifestyles of the Politically Powerful
Today, the banking information of wealthy individuals across the globe were revealed in what is called the Fourth Suisse Secrets Leak. Among those listed are Tsar Charles I D'Anglia, PM Fujita Kanesada, and many other Members of Parliament, while in terms of money nearly 4 billion roubles were found to have been embezzled from government coffers. PM Fujita Kanesada denied the accusations, but the evidence is clear and people are clamoring for his resignation. Tsar Charles I has refused to comment on this.
No Gods, No Masters
Today, the Parliament voted 80 - 70 - 0 to implement what is known as the National Identity Act, which would "carve out a new identity of the Sakhalinsk people". The act would begin distancing modern Sakhalinsk culture from old Russian (and Japanese, to a lesser extent) culture, starting by changing the national demonym from "Russian" to "Sakhalinsk". PM Fujita Kanesada called this "a triumph of the modern identity".
Today, the rogue state of North langburn declared independence from The langburn islands, purporting the establish a capitalist state. Prime Minister Fujita Kanesada has announced that The Sakhalinsk Empire will support the government in suppressing the rebels, and has mobilized part of the Armed Forces to begin an advance. Weapons, artillery, and other armaments are also planned t o be sent to The Langburn Islands.
A Failed Kombucha
With The united chinese republic and United Europe-Eurasia already beginning peace talks, Prime Minister Fujita Kanesada's "craft beer" speech's power is beginning to wane. Protests have risen up in the streets calling for an all-out war, while the Parliament is considering a motion of no confidence. One MP (who wished to remain anonymous) even said "This may be the dusk of the Sakhalinsk Empire."
Brewing Conflicts Is Like Craft Beer
With The united chinese republic continuing to pressure United Europe-Eurasia over territorial claims, Prime Minister Fujita Kanesada stated that now would be the perfect time to regain lost land. "Before, it was a shameful defeat, all because it was the wrong time," he said in an interview, "but with China pressuring Russia, all I have to say is brewing conflicts is like craft beer. You have to get everything right, including the timing."
Sakhalinsk naval patrols have begun to patrol the East China Sea and Yellow Sea, while the army has stationed itself in de facto independent Hanguk-Nippon. Other covert maneuvers have been set up in countries like the Democratic Republic of South Caleblan, as to oust the Chinese Lian Zheng.
The War's Ended - But Fumimaro Is Not Yet Dead!
On the 16th, the Ministry of Justice overturned its ruling on The Sakhalinsk Empire v. Tsuchiya Fumimaro, and thus allowed for his assassination. After weeks of planning, today a specialized SWAT force team was sent to the Royal Palace of East Sakhlin to kill Fumimaro, but when they arrived, nobody was there.
The combined Sakhalinsk-East Sakhalinsk force had already cleared out the entire island, and the mercenaries have been sentenced to death by our government. PM Fujita Kanesada announced that this was a "bittersweet victory".
Karafuto Declares Independence!
Today, former MP of Gifu Tsuchiya Fumimaro marched into Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk with 10,000 hired mercenaries and has declared the whole island the New State of Karafuto. Appointing himself as President, Tsuchiya has allied himself with the Kingdom of South Caleblan and declared war on East Sakhlin, retaining his claim from 3 months ago that the government is illegitimate.
Both Tsar Charles I D'Anglia and PM Fujita Kanesada have denounced him and have sent a joint appeal to the Ministry of Justice in order to review the court case The Sakhalinsk Empire v. Tsuchiya Fumimaro which found him innocent. While slow to aggression, Fujita even considered "an invasion of Sakhalinsk island in order to show that these kinds of aggression is intolerable."
In contrast, some MPs have declared their support of Tsuchiya, saying that the current government is weak and ineffectual, and that the National State of Marcus Yevonov needs to be restored.
Tsuchiya Fumimaro Is Found Innocent!
On 17 March, former MP of Gifu Tsuchiya Fumimaro turned himself in to the Tokyo National Police. Many were expecting a quick trial where he would plead guilty, but instead there was a 3-day trial in which he was found innocent. Apparently, what he said on the 10th was technically legal, and even more so with the White Bear Movement protests. His involvement in the protests was not confirmed, and he technically did not flee from justice either since, under his knowledge, East Sakhalin was part of the Sakhalinsk Empire.
The Orange Coalition in Parliament is clamouring for his immediate detention and a retrial, while the Blue Coalition is lauding the exertion of justice properly in the nation. Lastly, of course, East Sakhalinian diplomats are not amused.
The Battle of the Paracel Islands
After a continuous standoff between UCR and Sakhalinsk naval forces near the Paracel Islands, bombardments have suddenly been shot at each other, sparking the Battle of the Paracel Islands. Major General Kanagi Nobuyoshi has been promoted to Field Marshal following Field Marshal Hashimoto Kojuro's death, and he is the military leader in this battle, the other being Vice Admiral Su Cai of the UCR.
Following MP of Tsuchiya Fumimaro's removal from office by PM Fujita Kanesada, MP of Kyoto Sakurazaki Motoyasu has led the Blue Coalition, and has remarked to the battle, saying "I still have hope that we can win this war. We can united all people under our banner and have a peaceful wave be brought upon the world."
Great Snowstorm Covers Hokkaido In Snow
The Great Snowstorm, having already caused significant damage to trade and travel in Hokkaido and Sakhalin with -20°C temperatures and a full foot of snow. However, today's blizzard was the worst - the entire city of Sapporo was blanketed with nearly 3 feet of snow and -30°C temperatures, with communications from Sakhalin having been completely shut down. Even more southern cities such as Sendai and Tokyo braced 6 inches of snow and -10°C, while reports from Osaka claim 8 inches and -15°C.
PM Fujita Kanesada is considering declaring a prefectural state of emergency in Sakhalin and Hokkaido, as preliminary evacuations have already started in the latter. Residents of other prefectures are recommended to stay indoors and to stockpile as much food, water, and other emergency supplies as possible. Stay in touch with Novosti Radio at 504 AM Novosti Radio, available nationwide.
Sak Nonacceptance Revoked; Coalitions Form in Government
Yesterday, it was discovered that the "insanely high value" of the East Sakhlinian Sak was due to an error in the Nikkei database, showing that the conversion from SAK to USD was 1 / 65 and not 1 * 65. PM Fujita Kanesada immediately apologised for the disturbance and revoked his earlier order, making the Sak once again exchangeable for Sakhalinsk roubles.
Despite this, due to the fact that the nonacceptance of the Sak was partly caused by growing tensions, especially pressed by Parliament, the government has formed a rift within itself between numerous parties. On one hand is what is being called the "Blue Coalition", led by the Nationalist Party and the Economic Development Party, and headed by MP of Gifu Tsuchiya Fumimaro; and the "Orange Coalition", led by the Autonomy Party and the Labour Party, and headed by MP of Mie Shinoharu Sukeyasu. PM Fujita has announced that he will not take sides in the conflict.
The Sakhalinsk Empire No Longer Accepts East Sakhalinsk Sak
PM Fujita Kanesada, upon advice from the National Council, has announced that the East Sakhlinian Sak is to be no longer accepted in currency exchangers and in foreign trade. While this is partly due to the growing tensions between the two nations, it is also partly because of the insanely high value of the currency - over USD 65 for just SAK 1.
Infighting Within the Nationalists (Royal Acts Update IX)
Despite their former support for RA 8, the World Calendar Act, the Nationalist Party has sided with the EDP in repealing it. Proposed by MP of Osaka Shinobu Yasuo, EDP, the Repeal of RA 8 (World Calendar Act) has passed 99 - 51 - 0 and has become RA 15.
Meanwhile, the Military Regulation Act, by MP of Mie Shinoharu Sukeyasu (Autonomy) has failed with an astounding 57 - 93 - 0, obviously due to the military failure in the Chinese War for Independence. In its place is the proposed Conscription Act, by MP of Gifu Tsuchiya Fumimaro (Nationalist), which would make a mandatory draft of all citizens upon reaching 21, and having them serve in the military for at least 1 year. The Military Growth Act, by MP of Kyoto Sakurazaki Motoyasu (Nationalist) has also been proposed, which would increase the minimum amount of government budget directed towards the military to 20%, as well as increase military, naval, and aerial training procedures, especially on international territory.
PM Fujita Kanesada Survives No-Confidence Vote
Nationalist MP of Gifu Tsuchiya Fumimaro called upon a vote of no-confidence against PM Fujita Kanesada in the Parliament meeting last 23 February, and it was voted upon just yesterday. PM Fujita survived the vote, 83 - 67, but his popularity continues to fall.
Due to threats made by Roswaesia, PM Fujita has continued to adhere to the terms in the Treaty of Nanjing, but the actual treaty's signing is being filibustered by the back-and-forth debate between Roswaesia and East Sakhalin over the jurisdiction of Vladivostok and the JAO.
David and Goliath
Today, Prime Minister Fujita Kanesada announced on live television, as well as on radio and on social media, that due to the unfortunate circumstances - the Invasion of Okinawa and the Sack of Kagoshima, the loss of the Battle of the Yangtze and the Battle of the Southern Sky, and the destruction of many of our missiles - that we have lost the war.
In the speech, he noted the similarity with the Russo-Japanese war a century before - a smaller power won against a much larger power due to poor division of troops, as well as their distance from the battle site itself (many of our forces were stationed in Cascadia, and most of the navy was engaged in battle and thus could not transport them, especially across the Pacific) and a fractured populace. He ended with a positive note, however; that the country is once again at peace and could focus on rebuilding itself.
PM Fujita's popularity had dropped "spectacularly" akin to the China landing, and anti-government protests have sprung up across the nation. The military is in shambles, especially with the death of General Hashimoto Kojuro, the Hero of Korea, and the police force is part of the protests. This may be the beginning of the end of the Empire.
China Landing Fails - Spectacularly!
Not only did we lose Okinawa just a few days ago, the attempted landing to take Fuzhou was thwarted due to the Chinese air superiority. Even worse, numerous nations such as Hokoan and even Roswaesia may aid them now!
The Battle of Okinawa
The Chinese War of Independence seemed to be far from home, until a fleet of Chinese ships - which had destroyed 3 of our own ships just 3 days past - began bombarding the cities of Naha, Nago, and Okinawa in Okinawa Island. There have been no reported casualties so far but structural damage is presumed to be intense.
PM Fujita Kanesada officially declared a State of Emergency in the nation, raising taxes and diverting some government funds to increase priority of the military. More and more forces are being sent to the UCR, with the Tokyo fleet expected to arrive in Okinawa in 3 days and the massive Tianjin fleet en route to Fuzhou and Quanzhou once more.
It's War... Yet Again
It appears that the nation is stuck on a loop of perpetual war, as The united chinese republic responded to the nation's attempt of a diplomatic solution with occupying Hong Kong and besieging Macau, which is owned by United Europe-Eurasia. Forces in the Manchu states are currently being shipped south to land in Fuzhou and Quanzhou.
PM Fujita Kanesada, while still remaining hopeful, said this: "We offered diplomacy and they responded with war. Their claims of being a libertarian state seem to be contradictory with their actions, akin to the barbaric military dictatorship that ravaged this land a year ago. As much as I wish for peace, there can be none unless they too want peace."
The United Chinese Republic Declares Independence!
Today, the provinces of Taiwan, Jiangxi, Fujian, and Guangdong have declared independence as The united chinese republic, led by Son Ryo-gan. PM Fujita Kanesada remarked about this, saying "it is to be expected. We hope that we can have a diplomatic solution to this problem."
Royal Acts Update VIII
The Capital Punishment Act by MP of Gifu Tsuchiya Fumimaro (Nationalist), drafted just two weeks ago, swiftly passed with a solid 87 - 61 - 2. This is the only act that passed during today's Parliament session.
Meanwhile, the Prohibition Act by MP of Tokyo Akamatsu Akeno (Autonomy), being debated upon for nearly half a year, was put into vote and failed with a 68 - 80 - 2. This has led to a further rift between the Nationalist and Autonomy parties, with rumors spreading that the latter is planning a coalition with the Labour Party. New proposals include the Military Regulation Act by MP of Mie Shinoharu Sukeyasu (Autonomy), the 1st Amendment of RA 2 (which makes the PSRD subsidies no longer mandatory but applied for with a form, and further regulation on PSRD subsidies for non-governmental organizations) by MP of Shimane Tone Emi (Labour), and the Repeal of RA 8 by MP of Osaka Shinobu Yasuo.
The Second Korean War is Over!
After three months, the Second Korean War has ended with the recapturing of Seoul. The government of North gwongpyeong has been dissolved and all its members have been put on trial, with many being found guilty of crimes such as murder and high treason.
While most of the Jushushtodo Islands, a group of artificial islands made by North Gwongpyeong, have been claimed by Hanguk-Nippon, the smallest - Ryeongshushimado - is currently under Sakhalinsk governance under the name of Jiyushima.
Jasper Co. Announces Takeover of Numerous Companies
Despite having existed for less than two weeks, the President of the Jasper Company, Hamasaki Yorikane, has announced their acquisition of a few companies. One of them is the Nagoya Spaceport Administration, or NSA, which had been running Nagoya Spaceport - the only spaceport in the country - independently for nearly 3 years now. Another is more surprising - the remaining assets of the Midandian National SPIT Co., currently being dissolved by Midand's Globe Corp. Int., is also being bargained by the Jasper Co.
PM Fujita Kanesada and many members of the Nationalist Party have denounced the Jasper Co., threatening to remove all government funding from it. "Declaring themselves independent from the government is simply unacceptable," said the PM. "What should have been a project open for all is now run by a small group of scientists working for personal gains." In contrast, MP of Osaka Shinobu Yasuo of the Economic Development Party stated that the PSRD Act also includes private scientific groups. "It is perfectly legal, and they are not acting for personal gain," he expressed in an interview. "Their motives for all our peoples. It is just their funding that they wish to control."
February 2029 Elections Heating Up!
With stability returning to the nation, the scheduled February 2029 elections have been planned, and numerous politicians are running for many positions.
The position of Assistant Prime Minister, now being tied to the Prime Minister, is expected to be held by either MP of Gifu Tsuchiya Fumimaro or MP of Kyoto Sakurazaki Motoyasu, both Nationalist of course.
The National Council has also been tied to the Prime Minister, and it is planned that whoever loses the primary for Assistant Prime Minister would become the head of the National Council.
The House of Lords, while not receiving as much attention as the House of Commons (i.e. just "Parliament"), is still up for grabs: MP of Osaka Shinobu Yasuo (EDP), MP of Shimane Tone Emi (Labour), and MP of Mie Shinoharu Sukeyasu (Autonomy), have all expressed interest in the position of Lord President.
JASPER Becomes a Company
Hamasaki Yorikane, the head of the Joint Asteroid Space Program for Exploration and Research - or JASPER - has officially declared that his scientific research group is now independent from both the government and SpaceX and has officially privatised to the Jasper Company, or Jasper Co.
While perfectly legal and even beneficial from a few viewpoints, many have considered this move controversial as science is to be free for all people. Some are even fearing that the Jasper Co. may purchase other scientific companies and establish a monopoly.
I like brook.
Enforce a prediction:
I am going to sit on brook
Break the pattern and prediction:
Brook and I are now happily married.
While writing this I’ve noticed there is a lack of inanimate object names for men while women have names like Summer, Fall, Belle, Lily, and Rose.
I call hypocrisy!

***ALL UNITED FOR THE FORCATION!***
1 - Crime and Punishment
Altors prefers to rehabilitate criminals as opposed to condemning them. Sentences are carried out based on a Crime Severity Index. For example a Level One crime such as jaywalking or refusing to pay a parking ticket will result in a small fine while a Level Ten crime such as treason, terrorism, and mass murder will result in life in prison or the death penalty. All citizens are entitled to a fair and private trial with their choice of a trial before a judge or jury. Capital Punishment may be administered for Level 7-10 crimes such as murder and rape.
Foreigners who commit crimes on Altorsian soil are subject to the Altors justice system.
2 - Religion
The Charter of Rights and Freedoms states that all citizens are guaranteed "freedom of religion and freedom from religion". Altors is officially a secular nation as the Constitution forbids the Government of Altors from "establishing a state religion" and states that "no law shall be based on the principle of a religion" and that "Church and State will always remain separate".
Although the majority of Altorsians identify as Atheist, there are still many adherents to other religions. Buddhism, Judaism, and Violetism have the most adherents of any religion while the various sects of Catholicism and Christianity have the least. Religious visitors are free to visit and worship in Altors' many temples, mosques, and churches.
3 - Drugs
Alcohol is illegal in Altors and consumption and distribution of alcohol is a Level 4 offence.
Smoking Tobacco is tightly regulated in Altors. Although it is not illegal to smoke, there have been several campaigns to ban it and the Federal Government is currently considering such a proposal. Currently, citizens must pay a special "sin tax" on all tobacco and cigarette related products. Smoking in restaurants, bars, pubs, and vehicles with children is illegal as is smoking in public spaces.
Marijuana is illegal in Altors and distribution of it is a Level 4 offence. Medical marijuana is legal, but only with a valid prescription from a licenced doctor.
Hard drugs, such as LSD and crack cocaine, are also illegal. However, the usage of these drugs typically does not result in prison time unless the use causes death. Users of hard drugs are instead sent to government run rehabilitation facilities while the sellers of these drugs can face up to ten years in prison.
4 - LGBT and Minority Rights
The Constitution states that all citizens "regardless of gender, age, race, sexual orientation, religion or lack thereof, disability, and nation of origin are protected from discrimination". It also defines marriage as "the consented union between adults". Homosexual activity was legalized in 1980. Same-sex marriage has been legal since 1989. Although polygamy currently illegal, there have been strong calls for it's decriminalization. Arranged marriages remain banned as this violates the stature that all marriages must remain consensual.
5 - Gambling
Gambling is legal in Altors. One can find many private and government run casinos and lotteries. Betting on sporting events, election results, and other events via bookies is also legal. The legal "gambling age" is 18.
6 - Prostitution
Prostitution is legal in Altors, although remains a tightly federally run and regulated industry. All of those involved in the industry must be at least 20 years old and consenting to take part. Those who take advantage of the system are subject of up to thirty years in prison. Prostitutes must agree to bi-monthly health and safety checks in order to obtain their license. Those who wish to acquire the services of prostitution in Altors must be 21.
7 - Firearm Ownership
Gun ownership is a privilege in Altors as opposed to a right. It is not mentioned in neither the Constitution nor the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Automatic, semi-automatic, handguns, and other "military grade weapons" are strictly illegal and only used by Altors' military and police forces. In order to obtain legal firearms all citizens must submit to extensive background checks. Those with mental illnesses and a criminal history are banned from obtaining firearms. Once purchased, the weapons must then be submitted to the Federal Firearms Registry. Open carry of weapons is illegal and most provinces have banned concealed carry.
8 - Abortion
Abortion has remained legal in Altors since 1950. There are few restrictions and the procedure is regularly preformed in hospitals and private clinics.
9 - Euthanasia
Euthanasiai illegal in Altors.
10 - Asylum Seekers
Altors is willing to house asylum seekers, depending on what crimes they committed in their nation. A convicted murderer would not be welcome in Altors, while the nation will welcome LGBT rights activists and homosexuals from countries where homosexuality is illegal with open arms. It is suggested that all asylum seekers learn more at the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

VOTE ON WORLD ASSEMBLY RESOLUTION;
GENERAL ASSEMBLY; ENVIRONMENTAL, ALL INDUSTRIES
PROPOSED: Wallenburg
Concerned that few of these efforts have addressed groundwater sources in any manner, even though underground aquifers provide the majority of water used and consumed in member states,
Noting that transboundary aquifers are very common, and the management and protection of their resources inherently represents an international issue,
Recognizing that nearly all member nations depend on aquifers for the purposes of agriculture, industry, and domestic consumption, and that a risk to the potability or usability of these essential water resources presents a risk to the prosperity and survival of countless inhabitants of member states,
Understanding that while many aquifers may be less prone to contamination than surface water sources, few technologies exist to resolve groundwater contamination after its effects become deleterious, and many shallow, consolidated, unconfined, or overexerted aquifers do not sufficiently benefit from the filtration effects of surrounding soils to prevent contamination,
Resolving to reduce contamination of vulnerable aquifers by saltwater and artificial pollutants, including pathogens, nitrates, phosphates, toxic and nuclear wastes, and artificial herbicides and pesticides,
The World Assembly hereby:
Tasks the International Bureau of Water Safety with researching and consolidating information on the size, distribution, and characteristics of groundwater resources, and issuing recommendations for the protection and conservation of these resources for reliable, long-term use,
Requires member states to plan future land use so that agricultural, industrial, and transportation pollutants will not present any measurable threat to the utility and potability of aquifers,
Mandates the implementation of regulations to protect groundwater resources near or interacting with sinkholes and cenotes on agricultural developments, including but not limited to:
The growth or construction of a physical barrier around the mouth of the sinkhole or cenote, at a distance from the edge appropriate for the conditions of the sinkhole site, in order to minimize the accumulation of pollutants within the sinkhole or cenote,
Diversion of all surface runoff around or away from the sinkhole or cenote,
Cessation of application of fertilizers, herbicides, or pesticides in the vicinity of the sinkhole or cenote,
Restriction of all activity within the enclosed area of the sinkhole or cenote to scientific and recreational activities individually reviewed by a jurisdictional authority, determined to present no measurable threat to any groundwater system, and carried out by individuals possessing permits to perform those activities,
Mandates protection of wildlife within all naturally occurring underground drainage systems, and recommends communication with the WA Endangered Species Committee for specific means by which to preserve the ecosystems contained within,
Recommends that development of urban or industrial infrastructure upon evaporite formations, especially carbonates, in cases where acidic dissolution has resulted in extensive underground drainage systems, be limited as much as possible, and requires member states to institute additional limitations on industrial and agricultural activity to further prevent contamination of these particularly vulnerable aquifers,
Requires all wells constructed over unconfined aquifers to undergo regular inspections for contamination of the groundwater below, and prohibits the use or disposal of potential contaminants in or nearby the opening of any such well,
Requires member states to limit extraction from each aquifer to a maximum of the rate at which each aquifer is projected to saturate, and urges member states to further limit extraction from aquifers bordering saltwater fronts, so that the pressure of the freshwater column is maintained at a safe depth for long-term environmental health and reliable extraction, and so that high-density saltwater does not upcone into the freshwater column.

Assembly Announcement
.
A replacement and repeal of the Proscription Act has received a seconded motion to vote.
As the proposed replacement is a constitutional law, the vote will last for five days and require a three-fifths majority to pass (according to the Legislative Procedure Act, Article 1, Section 4).
The vote will end on January 11th 2019, at 22:15 UTC.
leave of absence, or display other activity in the Assembly.The Diplomatic Relations of Hanguk-Nippon
The Administrative Offices-The Foreign Secretariat & Former Ministry of Rites
The Foreign Secretariat, in conjunction with the Former Ministry of Rites, has compiled an official list displaying the foreign diplomatic relations of the Imperial Sinjōist State of Hanguk-Nippon. The Emperor and National Leader/Prime Minister have jointly tasked both ministries with this request. The resulting chart organizes nations into several categories pertaining to their closeness or distance of their political, economic, or military ties with Hanguk-Nippon: Subject | Intimate | Close Ally | Ally | Very Friendly | Friendly | Positive | Neutral | Frictional | Rivalry | Deteriorating Relations | Enemy | Priority Threat | Belligerent. These same classifications have been used to conduct an annual survey ranking the countries by the public opinion in the country, compared to the governmental opinion. The two gauges shall be displayed side by side for nations covered by the most recent public survey.
As of the 2057 Edition of the Hanguk-Nipponese Diplomatic Bluebook, the Foreign Secretariat, together with the Hanguk-Nippon Tourism Agency, shall list an applicable travel status for the countries Hanguk-Nippon has established relations with. This gauge encompasses travel requirements for foreign passports and Hanguk-Nipponese citizens, and states the Hanguk-Nipponese Government’s official recommendations for visiting an aforementioned country. The chart reflects all designated visa requirements: Visa-Free | Conditional Visa-Free | Visa On Arrival | eVisa and Visa On Arrival | eVisa or Electronic Authentication | Visa Required | Visa-Free Access for Diplomatic and Service Category Passports | Visa-Free Access for Diplomatic Passports | Travel Ban. Moreover, the government has divided its official travel recommendations into several categories pertaining to general safety, freedom of expression, climate and environmental precautions, systematic oppression, political climate, terrorism, acceptance of Hanguk-Nipponese visitors, and more: No Restrictions | Exercise Increased Precautions | Reconsider Travel | Essential Travel Only | Travel Ban. Factors contributing to the government's recommendation shall be listed alongside it.
Diplomatic Status | Description |
Subject | Countries with this classification are considered under the hegemony of Hanguk-Nippon. They shall be viewed as subject polities linked to the Hanguk-Nipponese Central Government by several immersive connections. Nations in this category are either considered part of the state of Hanguk-Nippon itself, or a direct subject of the state. This can be further subdivided into the status of a vassal, tributary state, client state, protectorate, associated state, and buffer state among others. |
Intimate | Countries with this status are considered the closest of Hanguk-Nippon's allies. They shall be viewed with a great deal of respect and honor as relations with this country have been built up with the intent of intense cooperation in various sectors. They shall receive and reciprocate with trust and loyalty regardless of affairs, and a plethora of ties exist between the two countries.

Very Friendly | Countries with this classification are considered on the brink of becoming official allies with Hanguk-Nippon. However, this isn't the case due a significant roadblock or incomplete terms of alliance. Hanguk-Nippon has considered any country in this category to be of significant importance to Hanguk-Nipponese international affairs, but will put its official allies first. |
Friendly | Countries with this classification are considered to be of importance to Hanguk-Nippon. They are possible allies that have most likely demonstrated that they could be. However, this status is quick to change. Hanguk-Nippon may be willing to advance or reverse the relationship depending on the current foreign policy and government prospects. |
Positive | Countries with this classification are considered to be of some importance to Hanguk-Nippon.

Enemy | Nations with this classification are considered highly untrustworthy. Publically, they are often hard sceptics of Hanguk-Nippon. Hanguk-Nippon will view these countries as great threats, and consider them to be major obstacles in the path of Hanguk-Nipponese success. Hanguk-Nippon will not take actions to warm such relations and will actively try to limit the opposing state's influence in the greater East Asian/Asia-Pacific region. |
Priority Threat | Nations with this classification are considered especially untrustworthy. Effectively, states of this category are hard sceptics of Hanguk-Nippon. Hanguk-Nippon will view these countries as dire threats and historically major obstacles on the road to Hanguk-Nipponese success or regional peace. Hanguk-Nippon will almost never take actions to warm such relations and will actively try to limit the opposing state's influence in the greater East Asian/Asia-Pacific region. |
Belligerent | Nations with this classification are considered extremely untrustworthy and propagators of anti-Hanguk-Nipponese sentiment. Hanguk-Nippon will view these countries with great amounts of disdain. The Hanguk-Nipponese people are very likely to react violently to the actions of states in this category. The Hanguk-Nipponese Government is likely to support revolts in countries with this ranking and will take extreme military action against these states if necessary. Countries in this rank are virtually on the brink of all-out war with Hanguk-Nippon or already engaged in a severe military conflict with Hanguk-Nippon. |

Trade is limited to the occasional export of Hanguk-Nipponese goods into the capital, Fan Tuwan. The country, emerging from its near half-decade long isolation, has also conducted a nuclear test on 11 May 2057. In its attempt to dislodge Fankuwo from seclusion, the Foreign Secretariat has noted the physical danger nuclear warheads pose to the civilians of Sueang and hopes to discourage further nuclear tests. |

Government Travel Recommendation: No Restrictions - Government Criticism of Hanguk-Nippon | "Convenient Diplomacy," Embassy in Dhon (Hanguk-Nippon), Embassy in Hyosaki (Waiku) Hanguk-Nippon's ideological rivalry with the Democratic Republic of Waiku is a central factor that colors the relationship between the two states. Since establishing official relations on 22 March 1995, Hanguk-Nippon has sought to uphold a steady peace with the ruling Communist Party even despite criticism of the current Sinjōist administration by prominent Waikuwan policymakers. The Hanguk-Nipponese Government has taken a key interest in the proliferation of the one-party state in Waiku, and has openly called for democratization, the liberation of political dissidents, the recall of the Xat Phon colony in eastern Orientalis, and an investigation into potential links with a Junpoese terrorist group, the Raikkaidan. |
Kunil (Hraduna) | Priority Threat - Military Pact with Ran Gun, Border Military Exercises, Anti-Chunju and Hushijyo Rhetoric, Dobar-Chao-Kunilian War, Kunilian Nationalism, Interests in Contention with Hanguk-Nippon Public Opinion: Rivalry - Military Pact with Ran Gun, Border Military Exercises, Anti-Chunju and Hushijyo Rhetoric Visa Policy: Visa Required Visa Requirements for Hanguk-Nipponese Citizens: Visa Required Government Travel Recommendation: Exercise Increased Precautions - Political Instability, Government Criticism of Hanguk-Nippon | Official diplomatic relations between Hanguk-Nippon and Hraduna have been greatly strained by the actions of the Hradunan and Kunilian governments against the Hanguk-Nipponese holdings in Sueang, the governments and people of Chunju and Hushijyo, and the ethnic minorities of Hraduna who demand the right to self-determination and autonomy. Hanguk-Nippon condemns Hraduna recent steps taken to destabilize the nations of the Gulf of Orientalis, for this has presented both a direct challenge to regional peace, but has also damaged the integrity of the Kunilian people. Kunil's open threats towards the state of Sōryodō and military agreement with Ran Gun, a hostile state located to the north of the Hanguk-Nipponese territories in Sueang, have further deteriorated relations. |

The Aranami State's expansive coastline along the Gulf opens opportunities for prospective deep and comprehensive trade agreements along with eased travel restrictions and oceanographic surveying collaboration. With respect to regional military security, the Hanguk-Nipponese Imperial Navy Staff believes that the Aranami State has the opportunity to play a key role in the maintenance of a friendly and amicable "maritime zone" spanning the Gulf of Orientalis north to the Rioku and Ssiki seas. This "Cooperative Parallelogram" would "form a new nexus of continental security" and enable both Sōryodō, Hanguk-Nippon and the Aranami State to "benefit greatly from becoming the key junctions of military and economic prosperity." |

Visa Requirements for Hanguk-Nipponese Citizens: Conditional Visa-Free - eVisa or Visa issued upon arrival for a period of 45 days for general foreign visitors, Visa-Free period of 45 days for foreign employees, businessmen, students, and researchers. Government Travel Recommendation: No Restrictions | Embassy in Noe Qin (Hanguk-Nippon), Embassy in Hyosaki (Jenha) Hanguk-Nippon sees boundless potential in the rejuvenation of its relationship with Jenha. The decision to acquire weapons of mass destruction by the Jenhan Government was frowned upon by Hanguk-Nipponese observers in the past, though as these warheads pose little to no threat to the integrity of Hanguk-Nipponese borders, infrastructure, and population, the Foreign Secretariat has concluded that there is little reason for any genuine concerns that should effect official diplomatic relations. Hanguk-Nippon applauds the Jenhan Government for its role in realizing the Jenhan people's dream of equality from independence onwards. Additionally, Hanguk-Nippon is willing to cooperate with Jenha in financial affairs and wishes to establish a more comprehensive economic framework for future amicable exchanges. |

Government Travel Recommendation: No Restrictions | The Hanguk-Nippon—Dancia Treaty of Amity & General Cooperation, Embassy in Alarine (Hanguk-Nippon), Embassy in Hyosaki (Dancia) Although Hanguk-Nippon has only recently established a foothold in Valsora in its long and storied history, the state has made fast friends out of one particular nation in Unistan—Dancia. The two countries share a common interest in the development of infrastructure and promoting deep, comprehensive, and mutually beneficial trade between each other. Moreover, Hanguk-Nippon and Dancia both aspire to enrich the lives of their citizens and have proven their willingness to cooperate in good faith in the educational sector by sponsoring student and teacher exchanges. The application turnout for the first round of student exchanges was remarkably high, pronouncing the success of intercultural dialogue and the first steps of integrating Hanguk-Nippon into the wider Valsoran socio-economic realm. Certainly, the Hanguk-Nipponese—Dancian friendship has proven thus far to be a fruitful one. Hanguk-Nippon wishes to enhance its economic relationship and solidify its political ties with Dancia in the future. |

The Penguinite Kleptocracy of Volaworand, a former British colony, has a federal parliamentary representative democracy under constitutional monarchy system of government, similar to that of Commonwealth Nations of Canada, Australia or New Zealand. Our nation is a somewhat corrupted left leaning Civil Rights Lovefest/Left-Leaning College State. We are generally pacifist, but maintain defensive and peacekeeping troops. We are a capitalist, trading nation. Volaworand is a signatory to numerous bilateral and multi-lateral treaties: the full list of treaties is available here.
Volaworand is mildly engaged in the South Pacific regional roleplay. Our interactions occur primarily in the South Pacific's nation-based roleplay dedicated message board, Knowhere, but also in dispatches, on Treasure Island on the South Pacific's offsite forums (find us on plot 28) and a bit here and there on the nationstates forums.
In addition to formal treaties and embassy exchanges, our nation solidifies links with the South Pacific region and the wider world in a number of ways:
We serve as the chair of the South Pacific Regional Trade Agreement (SPaRTA), a trade agreement to normalize the production and trade of South Pacific Iced Tea (SPIT, as it's known in the South Pacific). Contact us by telegram or tag us in the RMB if you are interested in making an application to join this trade pact.
Volaworand is home of the Kentucky Fried Penguin global fast food chain, which offers franchise locations in the South Pacific and throughout the wider world through the
Kentucky Fried Penguin storefront on the Global Economics and Trade Board on the forums. We actively exchange national animals with other nations in the South Pacific, visit the Royal National Zoological Park of Volaworand to see the hosted animals. Please send a telegram if you would like to exchange animals.
The Volaworand Newswire collects news and diplomacy dispatches from nations throughout the South Pacific, along with the occasional news of region wide interest. New nations looking to join nation-based roleplays can review the newswire to see what topics are in the South Pacific's recent news.
Volaworand's government owned transportation service Southern Transportation Corporation operates Direct International Flight connections with nations in the South Pacific, primarily those that have claimed a spot on the
TSP Forums Roleplay Map or "puppet" nations.Volaworand maintains active membership in the World Assembly and exchanges endorsements as part of the The Southern World Assembly iNitiative (SWAN). SWAN is an initiative organized by the regional government of the South Pacific to promote the participation of nations in the World Assembly (WA) and to encourage them to endorse everyone in the South Pacific, building security and community within the South Pacific. Endorsements help build influence, which improves regional security and is used in some border control situations. We have reached the Squire rank.
These nations in the South Pacific region have notable economic, political, military or historic relations with Volaworand.

THE NHC'S NUMBER ONE NEWSPAPER SINCE 2026
Issue #11: Dragon Hunting Legal in the NHC
Debate has once again sparked across the New Haudenosaunee Confederacy after president Kyle McLastname was accused of dragon hunting in the national court. While McLastname has previously admitted to hunting dragons, the main debate is about whether it's actually legal or not. McLastname managed to avoid consequences for now, and will in the future.
The spark of McLastname being accused was him posting a YouTube video of himself using a rifle to kill a dragon, then showing how to properly cook and prepare dragon meat. This video was meant to be a response to food poisoning from incorrectly prepared dragon meat. However, people had a surprisingly negative reaction to this. Within the first hour after it's upload, memes about it spread on Reddit, and by the second hour there was already a lot of discussion about accusing McLastname of murder in court.
The group of people accusing McLastname, made up of 28 furries who seem to have an obsession with hugging each other, made their claim on the basis that McLastname was murdering dragons because the dragons are protected by the law under the 7th Amendment. However, the national court had declared that dragons are not protected by the 7th Amendment due to lack of some key human abilities, therefore McLastname managed to avoid trouble. What have we learned from this? Dragon hunting is 100% legal in the NHC.

The new Republic of Kopsovo will have a governing body called the National Congregation. There will be two groups in said congregation; the first, called a Senate, will have two members elected each six years from each state. The second, a Delegational Assembly, with a number of members to each state corresponding to 1 person for one thousand citizens of the state in hand. The Kopsovar National Congregation will follow Roget's Rules of Order as outlined in said book.
Signed by the sixteen members of the Founding Assembly on Day 1 of Year 1 in the Kopsovar timeline
delegate election taking place on the forums. As we enter the final days of the campaign period, I'd like to take a moment to formally announce that I will not be running for re-election.
Being the delegate of TSP three different times now has truly been the highlight of my many, many years in NS. While I've said this many times over, years ago I had given up on the idea of being delegate. However, I launched my initial delegate campaign years ago when I thought I could be a service to the region. And, my second turn at delegate came about a rocky time period in the region when others trusted me to hold things together.
I reluctantly made the decision to run for this current term when I wasn't happy with the candidates running. However, I'm pleased to see that we have ample talent running for the delegate's seat this time around. I'm confident well-known faces like The Solar System Scope, Rebeltopia and Erinor as well as exciting newer names like Beepee and Harmakmis will ensure the stability and security of the region into the foreseeable future.
Just to be clear, this isn't goodbye and I don't plan to float away; I hope around as much as possible as a member of the Council for Regional Security, offsite forum administrator and effervescent personality on the RMB.
To quote one of my favorite shows: "It was been an experience that I'll always keep close to my heart. And that these are memories that ... I'll wrap myself in when the world gets cold ..."
Thank you all for the faith you placed in me and the support you've given me throughout, and thank you for making the region the place it is today.
Long live The South Pacific!

(Psst! Want to see how I performed as delegate last time? Why not read my Delegate Blog!)
Greetings, fellow South Pacificans,
- The Southern World Assembly iNitiative (SWAN) launched last summer at least in large part due to the increased focus on endorsements and influence seen during my term. I’d like the opportunity to return to the forefront of this initiative and promote the great work of United States of Vietnam, the Council on Regional Security and the MoRA in bringing this to fruition.
- With a new Local Council due to be elected at the start of the term, the opportunity to shake up the political aspect of the gameside comes to us once more and I’d like to take the lead in helping new LC members find their feet and make the most of the powers granted to them by the Charter.
- Having made myself available as a source of advice and encouragement on the RMB during my last term, and having experienced the value of such things myself, I’d like to create a network of resources that all nations can use to find help and support when they need it.
What is your opinion on the current debate between Sandaoguo and Kringalia about whether a High Court justice should have a security background or not?
As a legcomm member, do you believe that there should be more requirements for legislatorship, and/or do you believe the background check should be tougher on legislators? i.e, not allowing legislatorship to anyone who has ever been a citizen in, say, Balder or the Black Hawks?
What do you believe is the most necessary approach to prompt gamesiders to vote forumside?
Do you believe that evidence should be released publicly when an individual is banned or has their legislatorship status taken away? (Excluding situations like Yuno, Solorni, or 5-million population RMB spammers)
I don't believe that a security background is necessary to be a High Court Justice. All that should matter is a strong ability to interpret the law fairly and consistently.
I'm reasonably happy with our requirements as they stand at the moment. Whilst there might be some merit to preventing former members of hostile regions from joining, I'd be reluctant to deny those who have genuinely recanted in the process and fear it might be a step too far. Our current processes allow us to consider if anyone requesting Legislator status might be doing so in bad faith, which would cover those with such histories if we do not believe they have really moved on.
Your use of the word 'necessary' is interesting. I think the best approach is to give them general information about what is going on in the forums and the Assembly, explain the advantages of joining the forums and of being a Legislator and then leave it up to them. If they do not wish to take part, that's fully their right, but they should at least know what it is they don't wish to be a part of.
This would have to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Given how lenient we can be as a region, the majority of bannings will be either of the generic trolling/spamming kind, for which the evidence is usually already publicly available, or of the safeguarding or anti-harassment kind, for which the evidence may be sensitive and should not be shared without the express permission of those affected, if at all.
As has been highlighted many times over the years, most recently by Viet, we could also do more to improve our integration, although we have certainly taken some positive steps in this direction since I first joined two and half a years ago. The pace is not rapid, but change is happening and that's not nothing.
Finally, I think we could benefit by expanding SWAN towards a full WA ministry, but the issue of having the right people and culture behind that remains a big one and one for which I don't think there's a simple solution. It will take time and it's not clear where we need to start the ball rolling, either.
SWAN was inspired by and modelled after the World Assembly Development Program of our ally, the North Pacific, but in TNP the WADP is accompanied by a full World Assembly ministry, headed up by a cabinet minister, whose job it is to ensure engagement with the World Assembly at all levels from encouraging nations to become members to helping those members vote and even draft WA legislation. TNP is majorly engaged in the World Assembly and that, along with their WADP is why they are so successful with endorsements and so influential in WA votes. To get anything like that would take a very long time and a lot of work and isn't something I'd expect to see achieved in the course of a delegate term, but it is something I still feel we should aspire to.
That being said, as I see it, to accomplish a functioning WA ministry we would need:
A base of existing players engaged with the WA and willing to contribute
Experienced and talented WAers willing to promote debate on and analysis of resolutions as they are proposed
A creative/technical team willing to produce propaganda, guides and other materials
Full backing and involvement from the delegate, LC, MoRA and the cabinet in general.
This is just what we would need to get the ball rolling to produce enough of a culture of WA engagement to actually need a WA ministry. It is not a small job and there has to be an actual desire to see it through from a whole host of parties. It might be a pipe dream, but, if I'm making any kind of promises on this for my delegate campaign, it's that I'll keep on probing the community and raising the profile of the WA to prepare the ground.
What is your opinion with the relations we have to other regions? Is there some region you would like to strengthen or weaken our bonds with?
I do not think it is the place of the Delegate to dictate our foreign affairs agenda, only to serve to carry out that agenda as required, much as the Queen of the UK does not decide Britain's foreign affairs policy, but has been one of its most important diplomats. I would offer my services to the MoFA in this regard (for example, I was one of TSP's signatories to the constitutional agreement in Lazarus last year, because that would have been significant to TWP, another signatory region) and not seek to influence their policy direction except as any other member of the Assembly.
How will a "network of resources" work? In other words, what would be its organizational structure, and why would that be better than just creating more resources without forming a network?
How do you plan to distribute these resources?
As for distribution, I would hope to have a keystone dispatch pinned to the WFE and would encourage the LC to share them on the RMB in situations where it was deemed useful/appropriate. I would also promote them in my Delegate blog (which I plan to resume).
What makes you more fitting for the role than other candidates?
What makes me more fitting? I have the experience of doing the role well before and the demeanour to be a caring, gentle leader.

HAUTE - High Academy of Unified Theory and Experimentation
AREA - Anachronolandia Reliable Energy Agency
NERUDA - National Entity Responsible for Unique and Descriptive Acronyms
As a member of INRO, Anachronolandia has been funding the construction of a large fusion reactor in the remote countryside in Kotohodar Province. This joint project seeks to harness a new source of power to fuel Anachronolandia's growing technological society.
Under the auspices of HAUTE and in concert with AREA, the University of Anachronolandia has focused the greatest minds in the nation on this scientific and engineering marvel. This first reactor, dubbed NERF (National Energy Requires Fusion) by NERUDA (the National Entity Responsible for Unique and Descriptive Acronyms), is expected to be up and running later this year.
The goal of this ambitious project is to eliminate our dependence on fossil fuels and traditional nuclear power. This transition to clean and affordable energy is necessary to protect the environment and supply our increasingly technological society with the power we need. The current energy demands of our country is roughly 30 PWh (petawatts per hour) and this prototype is expected to produce 2 GWh (gigawatts per hour). Future reactors will need to generate power that is several orders of magnitude greater to be the energy solution Anachronolandia and the world needs.

FOR DELEGATE
The position of Delegate in this region could be compared to one of head of state, since the Prime Minister is the one who is the one most responsible for government affairs, but that doesn't mean that it is to be disregarded as unimportant. The Delegate has to keep the region safe from people who seek to overthrow them and threaten the stability of the region, to represent the region in World Assembly affairs, to promote its interests and culture, and overall be a game-side figure-head that arguably is seen as elementary for the region's well-being. They have to be present and prominent rather than being hidden away, so as to encourage the region that they are there for them. They need to be genuinely interested in every individual citizen as well as the region as a whole. Considering that I have poured in countless of hours into this game and this region, seeing to that as many as possible can feel welcome and well, I believe that I deserve to be rightfully considered as a proper candidate. I wish nothing more than to serve this region, the place I call home, and I would like for it to have the best treatment and care administered to it so as to shine like a bright beacon on the playing field of NationStates. Also, supply it with lots of floofy cuddles~

Macs0647-jd Kerlodia Yeet and retreat
While my real name is MACS0657-JD I'm also know as Lily by my friends. This name was given to me by Kerlodia who thought it was cute and fit me well. I'm a kitsune. Kind of like a neko but more fox like. I've got a tail, ears, and look just like my flag. I've also got a little plush fox I carry around sometimes that is unnamed.
Magic:
I've decided that I'm going to have some magic. The idea of me having magic was origibaly suggested by Yeet and retreat. This will include summoning pillows and blankets and the sort out of thin air, putting people to sleep, being able to calm people down, and sleeping to heal injuries really fast.
Equipment:
I don't have much in the way of equipment. I have a knife given by Kerlodia, a plush fox, and the worlds comfiest pillow.

The arstotzkan socialist republic
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Immigration has announced that Arstotzka has opened it's borders to refugees
and people yearning to be Arstotzkan citizens. This is good for many but any who wish to enter as a seeking for permanent living, job opportunity or visit you must attain complete and up to date information of themselves and their reasons of travel along with a pass port. One single mistake is not accepted. If you are a refugee, you must show up to date and filled out paper's for asylum seeking.
GLORY TO ARSTOTZKA
I missed it last time
The sky is beautiful and clear tonight
Stars shine as mine eyes bead empty
I sit on the dark grass wondering when it'll come
I wait and wait...
It finally happens
The beautiful light passes my empty eyes
The light lingers in my now lustorous visual spheres
For a single second my fears disappear
It leaves as my face beams down again
Doves burst from my chest as the comet passes and I freeze.
Time to wait again...
The aura makes me hypnotized
The beautiful baby birds who left the nest rush back in their flocks
The canaries caress my soul and tear away my happiness
They then melt into salty tears and punchy heartaches
He already eaten worms bite my love
As the sweet and tender baby birds break my pulse
A whirlwind of regret swoops me up and throws me into an empty field next to the puddle of melted birds.
I try my best to stop the heart throbs but they continue
The puddle of melted bird grows into a giant, then consumes me
I fight through until I grab the innocent baby bird and lock her in a cage
She looks at me, sad and despressed, for I have imprisoned it for no reason
I get the lighter and match and I make a ring of fire around the encaged bird
I make one last glance before locking the safe and
Tearing my own heart out
The birds pecking at my soul cease, and now I can breath.

I will be answering questions on my candidacy across RMB, Discord and the TSP Forums. This dispatch is a record of my responses.
"If elected, how do you plan on using the Delegate's WA voting powers? I know you mention listening to the CRS and Cabinet on "WA-Security matters," but do you have any ideas beyond that, or in the General Assembly?"
Vote Beepee for Communication, Transparency and Leadership on WA matters
Thank you, for your important question.
Naturally, I will use my powers for good rather than evil.
General Assembly matters affect nations differently; some want to be anarchic, some want to be authoritarian. There isn't a clear line that be drawn on most general resolutions for TSP as a whole. This is why most of our delegates have let this be and then followed the majority; there is sense in that.
I would intend to do a couple of things:
Firstly, try and bring resolutions to the attention of members quickly: possibly using dispatches, as per TNP or through MoFA, although I'd like to reserve that for Security Council matters.
Side note: In addition, bringing attention early to a matter can increase our influence on a subject, as some will simply follow the majority.
Also, If I have a strong opinion on something, I'm will happily to suggest/encourage members to vote a particular way at that point.
Secondly, I'd like to try to facilitate a discussion on the resolution, possibly RMBside but tying it through discord and forums if possible.
If there's a clear favourite at that point, I may well vote that way, otherwise I'd wait for a majority like Tsu and Erinor have in the recent past.
Having those open discussions and hearing the opinions is a comfortable and subtle way of showing reisdents that joining WA and subsequently SWANing is important. It also retains visibility for the Delegate and can nudge people towards wider integration.
Finally, I would seek to aid transparency by keeping and publishing a 'delegates voting record' highlighting:
1. Description or Title of Resolution
2. My Vote (For or Against)
3. TSP Vote (For and Against)
This would be an easy and visual way to show that I am working with and for the many nations of our great TSP.
Further to that... In the past, we've toyed with a WA officer to do this. There is some merit in that approach also, but I consider the Assembly and Cabinet, in particular MoFA and PM, would have to have serious/detailed discussions and make decisions on this topic.

Good luck on your campaigning ^-^
Glad to see you're running, Beepee.
My question is pretty straightforward. In your campaign thread you talk a lot about what you'd do as delegate, but you don't seem to address what experience you'd bring to the role. Can you explain a bit about what roles/experiences in TSP or elsewhere in NS have helped prepare you to be delegate?
Vote Beepee! Still Working Hard!
As I'm always the bridesmaid and never the bride. My TSP elected roles have been limited.
*glares Concrete Slab* (you know that was my one and only best chance right :) )
Since arriving at NS an therefore in TSP, despite my numerous failed attempts at winning public approval, I have loved being here and thrown myself with joyful abandon into all aspects of TSP life:
• I've been a Legislator for about a year, proposing new legislation,
• Frustrating/Assisting the courts (I'm waiting on a mock case for training),
• Ambassador for a few months (I think October - a MoFA subscriber for a little while longer - not sure of the date), having been nominated to ambassador for TNP, our most important ally, in December (LCRUA before that).
• I've been a MoRA helper since June.
• I was a member of the Civilian Army in the St. Abbadon matter, which was my first foray into the Army.
• I've been an ardent and active supporter of SWAN, see page=dispatch/id=1086117
• Provided news and updates through B-SPAN, page=dispatch/id=1119540 providing updates to the RMB on domestic and international current affairs.
• Undertaken helping on The TSP Advent Calendar. (Who can forget actually making a drinkable recipe for SPIT) page=dispatch/id=1137942
• Through my regular and positive approach to RMB, I've welcomed new players and supported integration and promoted forums and discord to individuals to join and lead them through individually what they might like to do.
• Hosted and promoted RMB games and activities, such as the 10min game. (See for examples of some of the things done and proposed: although its not been updated recently. page=dispatch/id=1048816)
• Taken an active role in tracking down IRL SPIT (page=dispatch/id=1040388) actually jumping into the South Pacific for RMB.
• I managed to avoid the wrath of Tim, (but not quite Escade. :) :) :) )
• Provided care and attention to those who needed it (names withheld)
• Promoted Psomehwere and Knowhere and been involved in RP.
• Promoted and advertised the events of MoRA.
• I've promote activity in other regions used to sports RP inviting and brining in new blood to a quiet region.
• I've promoted good relations in my ambassadorial roles on other RMBs/Discord in a fun friendly and approachable manner and also in NSForums and telegrams to those outwith TSP to support examples of good fun.
And most importantly, I Endorsed the Tsu!
I could go on.... but I hope what the above shows is that despite not having elected position on TSP, my NS experience, and IRL experience, shows I'm a strong candidate dedicated to TSP cause. Even if the lack of 'elected' experience is a concern, I'm not a go-it-alone kind of person and far more a participative leader and I would want to work with Cabinet, former Delegates and others to make sure I was working in the best interests of TSP.
Do you have a slogan as catchy as me?
Dearest Sandaoguo asked
"Regarding security, which people & groups do you consider to be security concerns for TSP? Are you focused on imminent threats, groups with long histories of threatening our security, or both?"
Vote Beepee for Our Security
Thank you for your question.
It is often hard to predict what regions, groups or organisations will do. Whether new groups will become hostile or old foes will seek to undermine our glorious Coalition. We need to be mindful of the past at the same time recognising new threats as they arise. In terms of my, and our security services, focus it must be both.
Recently and in the past we've seen groups and individuals threaten and impact upon our great South Pacific and we have a list of proscribed and banned nations and organisations to this end. We've seen individuals attempt to infiltrate, poison and undermine our coalition, our community, our family. These threats are not uncommon. Our size, our democracy and our status renders us a target to many, but also provides us with great opportunities.
Our excellent CRS, MoFA and MoMA have provided us with a period of great stability and protected us from threats both foreign and domestic. Their tireless work for the greater good is often underrated and unappreciated by the masses.
The recent additions to the CRS, Seraph and Nakarisaune bolster the ranks of the CRS and ensure and maintain a strong and stable Council.
I want to see our CRS have the freedom to undertake their work without undue interference and for them to continue to serve and protect our community.
I applaud our brave men and women of the SPSF. Our forces and our MoMA continually surprises and inspires all of us to do more and to do better.
Our forces provide support and relief to our allies and battle bravely against those who would seek to threaten our existence and our TSP family.
Recent events have shown us that our military needs to be maintained, enhanced and supported.
I want to support and encourage our citizens with drive and energy to undertake their civic duty and become recruits in our forces. Maintaining our focus on actions which preserve our own regional interests and those of our allies.
Our MoFA is one of our greatest assets. Our ability to work with our allies and encourage new partners to work with and alongside us, is integral to our peaceful and supportive existence.
Encouraging those with the capacity and attitude to undertake important ambassadorial duties is a vital component to our support.
Finally I want to also also thank our moderation teams efforts, which often gets overlooked. The work which you do to protect and enhance our way of life is vitally important.
Do you consider there to be an "oligarchy" in TSP, or do you consider it as merely a group of experienced individuals?
That's a great question Sakh!
There are a solid core of very experienced individuals in the Cabinet and high ranking positions within TSP. That to some extent also makes it appear as an 'oligarchy', but the people in these positions are there because they've demonstrated commitment to our community and are experienced at doing their bit. Their experience is necessary and invaluable for ensuring regional safety and painting our own identity. Those who haven't had the same commitment have 'wandered' away.
What TSP should avoid is always the same group of people sharing around the top jobs in some sort of endless loop. Ensuring newer people with time, experience and ideas are able to grow and develop in the region. We've seen over the past year newer players within the Region, like myself, NP, CS, Aiden and others, take on lower level but important jobs, promote interaction, working with the established nations, and doing our bit for the growth and stability of the Region.
We've done this because we love this community. We love the diverse range of people, characters, and thoughts that proliferate our glorious TSP.
As a newer entry to NS, it's important to build that trust and that level of respect. One should not assume one can become delegate or a cabinet member on the back of their arrival. By the same token, delegacy should not be limited by the assembly to those who have been in the region since antiquity.
I've posted elsewhere that I believe I have shown that commitment, that drive and that self initiative to break any perceived 'glass ceiling'. I've consistently demonstrated the values one would expect of a delegate.
I stated in my campaign launch that the Assembly has fretted about the disconnect, perceived or otherwise from the gameside/RMB communuty.
This election affords the Assembly an opportunity to demonstrate it's commitment to gameside and newer nations by voting for me, a candidate who crosses the boundaries between the offsite and onsite platforms, that has demonstrated over the past year a caring, active and community minded spirit.
Oh hello there cute little doggo of Midand *pats you affectionately*
How will you plan on finally (and hopefully fully) uniting gameside, forumside, and discord...side? As you talked about in your campaign dispatch, you've talked about better working with the LC and MORA. Is there anything else planned with this? Considering that the gap seems to grow, I long to see the day in which it happens.
Can you elaborate on your plans? How will you ensure this accomplished?
How do you do it, Beepee? Just, how?
Are there any other big changes you plan to bring about the Coalition?
Vote Beepee for tireless dedication to all areas of TSP and a friendly guiding hand for newbies
Thank you. This is an important question and not an easy one to answer. (If it were easy it'd have been done already). Expect a tome!
Before I start, I need to make a few things clear. Firstly, there is still a connection, all is not lost and all is not as bad as it seems. Secondly, its a lot of work to get that cross spectrum connectivity. Thirdly, it can't be done alone, it needs a concentrated effort but that effort needs a driver - it can be left to it's own devices.
The delegate has a responsibility for all parts of TSP, they are the visible side of the Coalition for many of our citizens. Whilst the Assembly, Cabinet and CRS properly and appropriately carry out their functions offsite. The delegate must straddle the fine line between the many areas of TSP.
Since my founding in NS, I have been consistent and visible face in TSP jurisdictions. I have sought to bring the actions of the Assembly to the gameside in a fun, friendly and consistent manner, through journalism, activities and events, and welcoming and integration. I've tried to take the gamesides opinion into consideration as changes have been proposed to, say, election laws and security matters and I've encouraged others to join the Assembly and promoted our of site forums.
Our most respcted MoRA, headed by the ever loveable Pencil Sharpeners 2 has been a stalwart and has been excellent at driving forward our regional activities and goals, interacting and promoting events. United States of Vietnam has done excellent work on Dispatch Organsiation and redevelopment. I cannot praise the work of all MoRA enough. It's a big job and it needs to be congratulated on the good work its doing. Long may it continue!
But by the same token there are areas of improvement. Some of our integration dispatches are overly long or outdated. Whilst the intent is laudable and with best intentions. This hinders some from seeking to take the next step from to Assembly.
Our welcoming and friendly LC are often the first interaction new nations have with TSP Government. The excellent rates of activity in that team are a testament to their dedication to the TSP family.
In order not to frighten away new nations LC often presents the Assembly and further TSP Governmental information to new nations in a simplified and easy to access way. This should continue. With my activity levels and regular RMB interaction, I believe I am one of the strongest candidates to support that team and to guide people discord and forum side.
The MoRA can be our most accessible area for a new legislator or citizen to take their first steps into civic service. Our welcoming and integration section, I believe may be becoming a high priority for them. Should I be elected, The MoRA will continue to get my full support to carry out their functions and activities and MoRA can expect me to support their moves to improve integration and undertake activities.
Our TSPforums can a scary place. It's layout and language, although necessary, could be offputting to some. I believe, at the moment a new legislator needs to be built up in confidence on the ways of our Assmebly. Amerion has supported and been an excellent positive CoA; we are delighted with 'Stewie G's' patience and work. I would be delighted if likes of amerion became our knowledgeable and welcoming standard, whilst maintaining that robust and insightful discussion required to ensure robust legislation.
I appreciate the RMB is fast moving and scary, particularly for those who haven't visited in a while. But we can see the excitement that having a delegate or a cabinet member on the RMB causes. It causes excitement the likes of which haven't been seen since the Beatles. I wouldn't say that the Delegate and Cabinet are bigger than the Beatles... but maybe.
If elected, I would encourage the PM and Cabinet to visit and post on the RMB semi-regularly. It doesn't have to be daily, or for a lengthy period per day for example, but visit say hi, Promote their activities, actions and provide updates would be beneficial.
I will active my journalistic integrity to provide regular meaningful updates of Assembly matters to the RMB, through Delegates updates etc. And encourage those with the time and inclination to sign up.
I'll continue to support MoRA with fervour. We have highly involved, interesting individuals and resources which could benefit our MoRA even in junior roles. I'd encourage those with community minded spirit to get involved.
Can I have a spot by your throne when you begin your eternal rule as overlord?
Yes... you can be my lapdog!
Amerion asked
What are your thoughts on the state of The South Pacific as a whole? Where do you believe we can improve on (beyond what you have already elaborated in your campaign)?
Vote Beepee - Keeping TSP Awesome!
Thank you for your wonderful question.
I think the state of TSP is generally good.
We have a lot to be proud of.
In my previous answers I've highlighted some of the extraordinary work done in our wonderful home making a strong, stable and friendly region. It's not perfect, but nothing ever is.... (Well except you Amerion, you're always perfect!)
We have sound institutions and many clearly defined, tried and tested policies and laws (save a couple).
One area I haven't touched on for praise, yet, is our High Court and the excellent work our Honourable Justices do. Their work ethic, their professionalism and their ability to ensure a fair and thoughtful process has always been of the highest standard... even if, as individuals, we may not always agree with the decision.
We have a solid mix of established and newer nations. That mix keeps things interesting and fresh.
We have a vibrant RMB and RP family.
As Assembly members we worry, as many communities and families, do about the state of our community: are we open, friendly, welcoming, encouraging, retaining members, providing opportunities for our young, and so on.
We are.
Yes, we can do more, we can always do more and that burden should not always fall to the same individuals, to ensure that burnout, fatigue or dismay doesnt set in.
I've set out elsewhere minor tinkering and improvements and what I feel are the key areas that need to be focussed on over the next six months, I won't reiterate them here.
The Solar System Scope asked a really long winded question.
What do you plan to do if things do not seem to go your way, like if the various ministries or other governmental bodies do not seem to be willing or capable of cooperating with you in the way you want or cannot carry out your plans for the region?
Nothing like starting off on a positive, eh? I can work with the ministers, I love them all with all my heart.
The Ministers are the ones charged with running the government and their respective ministries. If I were elected, I would offer my support, encouragement and assistance to them in whatever way I can help.
If a Ministers do not want that, that's fine; they are the Minister and it their decision.
I trust our Government to work in the best interests of the Region.
What is your opinion with the relations we have to other regions? Is there some region you would like to strengthen or weaken our bonds with?
I think our relationship with most other regions is fine. There will always be those who dislike or distrust TSP and to them I say, I'm sorry you feel that way. (But we rock!)
I don't think weakening bonds with our alliances is appropriate in normal cases.
Over the next six months, I would love if we could do some event possibly with the North or Forest, but it's a lot of work to organise and I think we maybe need to do more internal housekeeping first.
Why do you keep making answers that are incredibly long-winded? :P
Because.

VOTE ON WORLD ASSEMBLY RESOULTION;
SECURITY COUNCIL; COMMENDATION
NOMINEE: Lyras
PROPOSED: Kostrorleauny
Acknowledging the current system of government under which the Lyran people live to be that of a true stratocracy, though also citing that such is not a military junta.
Recognizing the Protectorate of Lyras as the progenitor of Lyran Arms; a global economics and trade powerhouse that has set the standard for custom-made military technology and weaponry worldwide.
Distinguishing Lyran Arms as one of the most successful warfare equipment manufacturers to premier upon the world in recent years; a subordinate corporation to the Executive Command Staff of the Lyran Protectorate that “aims to bring nations the choice of cutting-edge modern-tech military hardware and establish permanent harmony between nations”.
Noting the efforts of the Protectorate of Lyras to establish the aforementioned “permanent harmony between nations” whilst undertaking the promulgation of the Castlegate Declaration; a doctrine which the nation holds dear in its stout denunciation of slavery and its views of abhorrence towards the trade of human lives.
Applauding the philosophical propositions of a Lyran State, namely ones that are geared towards the mentorship of newer nations, recognizing startup nations as equals rather than as lesser peoples.
Awed at the Protectorate’s usage of the Lyran Covenant alliance, an alliance that included nations such as Imbrinium and Morrdh, and the coining of the term “peace invasion”; setting the stage for a noteworthy event for which the Lyran government used its diplomatic status as a hegemon to ensure peace be made between its two allies following the invasion of Mordent island.
Highlighting the dedication of the Protectorate of Lyras to preserve and sustain good governance in the wake of research and technology breakthroughs that further seek to aid in the defence of innocent and unarmed nations. As has been displayed via the forms of anti-slavery and anti-imperialist positionings such as:
The Protectorate of Lyras’ assistance in the remilitarization of Mokastana, a State that had previously been classified as a “banana republic”, which led to the nation gaining a more thorough understanding of how to properly maintain a standing army and begin to defend themselves; all lead through the example of the Lyran Protectorate and their understanding of military technology.
The liberation of territory that had been previously ruled with an iron fist by the Protectorate of Dukopolious, a known communist oppressor, in aggressions that constituted an end-goal of achieving stability in Greater Dienstad.
The Protectorate of Lyras’ centralized role in fighting against Stevid (The Holy Empire) in the “Great Dienstadi War”; a conflict that was engaged in by most of the active major powers of the day.
The Protectorate’s blatant refusal to engage in orderly and open export trade with the Blackhelm Confederacy; a nation condemned by the hallowed halls of this body since Security Council resolution number fifty-nine entitled "Condemn Blackhelm Confederacy”.
The pioneering of freedom for the slaves of Greater tezdrian, an initiative that is validated through the passage of Security Council resolution number one-hundred entitled “Commend Lamoni”, where the forces of the Lyran State saw active combat against the tyranny of Greater tezdrian as mentioned by Security Council resolution number twenty "Condemn Greater Tezdrian".
Observing that the exemplary actions carried out by the Protectorate of Lyras, as described and outlined herein, are transcendent of the World Assembly’s core principles of promoting international peace, spreading universal goodwill, and maintaining healthy diplomatic discourse between nations from all walks of civilization.
Hereby Commends Lyras.

It's that time of year...
It's time to
Vote Beepee for Delegate!
Some really lovely people have encouraged my run, so
I have a lot to offer. A lot of energy and enthusiasm, and a lot of time on my hands.
I ran six months ago and I didn't expect to do nearly as well as I did. At that time I was a fresh faced newbie and my platform was 'I wanna be like Erinor'. I mean who doesn't, Erinor is awesome.
Since then I've evolved. I've involved myself more in TSP. I've watched, learned, participated and grown. I'm now my own man and I firmly believe, I'm the person with the goods to lead us towards glory!
I have a plan.
It's a simple plan, but the best plans often are.
The delegate is the ceremonial head of TSP, but that doesn't mean the position is not important and holds no weight. If we look at recent discussions in the Assembly, we've fretted about ways to encourage better integration, to get gameside, discordside and forumside to operate in a more coordinated fashion. We need a familiar gameside face to bridge that gap and to work well with the LC and MoRA. This will encourage new talent to join our forumside.
I'll look to help the LC in getting workable and achievable moderation policies in place to encourage both comfort and movement.
Working with MoRA to promote and encourage regional activities and events. I intend to continue to be a proud and ardent supporter of our TSP.
Making sure WA votes and regional security are well considered and promoted at every turn. Working with our CRS, MoFA and MoMA. I intend to work to ensure that we can maintain our regional security.
Finally, I strongly believe that having well cared for citizens, who feel welcomed, nourished and supported are our best method for encouraging a strong and sustainable South Pacific. Someone with a range of life experiences who can listen, empathise and guide whilst being fair dinkum.

Note: NHC (me) kidnapping Adhara was removed due to the events of it and what actually happened being disputed. Because there is nothing to oversee the RP and solve disputes, the base of RP is on people agreeing on what's happening. If they don't agree on what's actually happening, then they are RPing in completely different scenarios, which is not what the 26x TSSS RP is meant to be.

Roswaesia North gwongpyeong Iran-somalia Hanguk-Nippon Hokoan East Sakhlin The sakhalinsk empire
The Roswaesian Government is releasing this statement at Monarch’s Request to strongly condemn any action brought under the Hate Organization known as North gwongpyeong. A Roswaesian Investigation is currently undergoing and shows that North gwongpyeong has been working with Iran-somalia in Nuclear Arsenal and Terrorist Attacks, North gwongpyeong has also been claiming Artificial Islands as their territory within The South China Sea. Roswaesia has also found that North gwongpyeong is a launch site for Iranian-Somalian Missiles inbound to their opposing enemies territories, this proposes a great threat to nations such as Hanguk-Nippon, The Independent Republic of Hokoan, East Sakhlin, The sakhalinsk empire, and even some of our own territory, Roswaesia will not allow Iran-somalia or North gwongpyeong to go out with any attacks on foreign civilians, major ports have been blocked and efforts being made alongside L.A.N.C.E are seen in the future as a major success. The Independent Investigation Report (IIR) has also brung very interesting information to The Crown Council for deeper review with The Roswaesian Intelligence Agency, Roswaesia has also found that Iran-somalia and North gwongpyeong has formed The International Organization for Hate and Terrorism or IOHT, this organization is suspected to have around 250,000 active personnel around the world, that number is also suspected to be around 112,000 in Hanguk-Nippon. IOHT Missionary Offices and Facilities are expected to be Underground and running at a very fast pace, connections with The Iranian-Somalian Government and The North Gwongpyeongan Government are expected to be at its fastest here. Victims of kidnapping for the IOHT are expected to be underground within The Missionary Bunkers, 14,000 Tiny Bunkers are most likely around the Outskirts of Seoul, these bunkers have been planted hundreds of meters deep and the place of entry is currently Unknown. Roswaesia requests that The Government of Hanguk-Nippon allow Roswaesian Investigators to further look into the IOHT Trial to find Administrators and Government Officials within the organization before a greater threat is formed. Cyberattacks may also be being planned within the Missionary Offices and Facilities, these Offices and Facilities may also be on the ground in hidden disguised buildings across Seoul, it is recommended that a Internet Sweep is conducted and VPN Internet Apps and Businesses located inside Seoul are thoroughly searched if any Malicious and Violent Activities are undergoing within the Internet Servers. The Roswaesian Intelligence Agency will be conducting an Internet Sweep at 12:00 P.M. on January 1, 2031 to ensure Cyber Safety for citizens across Roswaesia, The Roswaesian Government encourages the government’s across the world threatened by Iran-somalia and North gwongpyeong do the same. The Roswaesian Government is still confirming this information and some may not be true, however, the information pulled comes from victims tortured by Iran-somalia and North gwongpyeong’s efforts in World Domination and Terrorism with Hate as well, while using our on Intelligence. Hate Groups are also becoming a strong concern within Roswaesia and it will not be tolerated, allies are encouraged to begin cracking down on Islamic Extremist Behaviors and Protests to ensure violence does not break out with the attacks currently outgoing from IOHT. Roswaesia will continue to denounce Iran-somalia and North gwongpyeong if attacks do not cease, if violent threats and attacks continue within 72 Hours, Roswaesia will step in as a Military Power to help alongside L.A.N.C.E’s mission in stopping Terrorist Actions from Iran-Somalia from spreading, we thank all of our allies for their help in stopping Iran-somalia and North gwongpyeong daily and a message for L.A.N.C.E can be found below and Member Nations are strongly urged to read, the Head of L.A.N.C.E is requested to telegram Roswaesia ASAP.
THIS HAS REACHED THE DATA LIMIT. PROCEED TO THE NEXT NOVOSTI.
Royal Acts Update VII
Despite being under heavy debate last month, with the return of regular Parliament meetings, the Reformed Education Act (MP of Osaka Shinobu Yasuo, EDP) passed with a solid 124 - 43 - 3, thus making Montessori education (the education reform proposed) mandatory throughout the nation. The Sexual Education and Consensual Age, or SECA, Act (MP of Kyoto Sakurazaki Motoyasu, Nationalist) also passed with a good 94 - 53 - 3.
On the other hand, the Street Safety Act (MP of Hyogo Ogata Montaro, Labour) got defeated at a 70 -77 - 3. The Prohibition Act (MP of Tokyo Akamatsu Akeno, Autonomy) is also now under fire by PM Fujita Kanesada, thus making its forecast a dangerous 68 - 79 - 3. Currently there are no new proposals, but a few MPs from the EDP are considering adding army reforms, much to the dismay of the Nationalist Party, but to the delight of the Autonomy Party.
Saisei is Done With!
The rebel group Saisei has finally been eliminated, with all government officials and military officers tied to them imprisoned in the Yukon. The two-month-long government shutdown has finally been ended, though the war may still prevent regular Parliament meetings to take place.
North Gwongpyeong Retakes Pyongyang
The Second Korean War suddenly changed tides when North Gwongpyeong, not only retook their capital Pyongyang, but also invaded Wonsan in the eastern coast, thus ensuring their control of the southern half of North Korea. They have also begun sinking the city of Seoul using geothermal energy.
The Doomsday Clock ticked forward another second because of this. Many MPs are encouraging PM Fujita Kanesada to launch missiles at North Gwongpyeong already, but he is reluctanct to do so since he fears this may "accelerate the war". "If we launch our missiles, they may launch their nukes back," he said in an interview. "Considering they have the power to sink an entire city, who knows what they can behold in weapons?"
Pyongyang Occupied, But War Continues
Despite Hanguk-Nipponese forces successfully occupying the city of Pyongyang, North gwongpyeong's base of operations, the war continues. With covert operations discovering that North Gwongpyeong also holds the port of Nampo, and that they still have enough forces to take more cities, it is no surprise. This has worried both PM Fujita Kanesada and Emperor Min of Hanguk-Nippon, and more operation plans are being drafted.
Emperor Min Crowned; Capital Moved to Busan
In discussion with the National Assembly of South Korea (i.e. Hanguk-Nippon), President Nikita Polotentsev has decided to restore the monarchy of Hanguk-Nippon, but as figureheads. This means that Emperor Min, son of the late Emperor Hyo, will finally return from his exile in Manchuria.
However, he won't be residing in the Blue House, and neither would Polotentsev, since the latter also announced the semi-permanent transfer of the capital to Busan due to the ongoing conflict.
Assassination Attempt on Tsar Charles I; Perpetrators Arrested
Today, Tsar Charles I D'Anglia and his wife Meritha Shigayev were casually dining in a restaurant when a man tried to poison their food. Fortunately, one waiter spotted the man and alerted the authorities, and the man was quickly apprehended. In custody he revealed that Minister of Foreign Affairs, Seto Sato, ordered him to do it; she was located shortly after and arrested. Both were members of Saisei.
The waiter, Hirabayashi Masashige, was given the Red Medal of Honor for saving the Tsar's life. Meanwhile, the Tsar and his wife have been kept in a secret location.
JASPER Probes Interuniversal Hole; Discovers Strange Tidings
Today, the Tsar I microspacecraft sent back its findings to JASPER about the "interuniversal hole" it discovered. It turns out that it does, in fact, link to another universe, which is similar to ours in many ways. However, the data appeared to not have all aspects of the hole, and that another mission - a full-scale one - needs to be made.
JASPER's head, Hamasaki Yorikane, said this in a press interview: "It truly is a scientific marvel, this interuniversal wormhole. However, as much as we wish to investigate it further, it would take many years to create and launch the next mission, let alone have it return its findings. My optimistic guess is 2032, but that's only if the universe aligns well; anticipating many things, it would probably return in 2036."
Another Saisei Base Discovered
Parliament recently intercepted numerous messages from Saisei to Deutschess reich, with them claiming to be the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and them asking to deliver weapons to Okinawa. While the legitimate government message quickly got to them, thus preventing most of the weapons from being delivered, a few shipments still made it through. Fortunately, the local police force confiscated all the weapons and soon located Saisei's base of operations there. However, some believe that there are still many Saisei bases located across the country, with some even speculating that they are funding Iran-somalia and the new rebel North gwongpyeong.
Saisei Discovered
The events of 13 September apparently were only a piece of a very large puzzle. Numerous confessions from the discharged soldiers of the battalion revealed to the National Police that former Minister of Defence Hirayama Suzu and Field Marshal Fukuyama Gaho were part of a secret society known as Saisei, or "rebirth". The NP quickly discovered one of their hideouts, with Police Superintendent Samejima Masayoshi, former Field Marshal and Supreme Leader Markus Yevonov, and numerous policemen and soldiers being found part of Saisei. All were arrested and held for interrogation.
Royal Acts Update VI
The National Identification Act (MP of Gifu Tsuchiya Fumimaro, Nationalist) passed with a solid 122 - 24 - 4, but the Regulation of Potentially Hazardous Substances (RPHS) Act (MP of Shimane Tone Emi, Labour) barely scraped through with a 78 - 68 - 4, and even then it's still being debated upon.
The Sexual Education and Consensual Age (SECA) Act (MP of Kyoto Sakurazaki Motoyasu, Nationalist) is looking good with a predicted 94 - 53 - 3; the Prohibition Act (MP of Tokyo Akamatsu Akeno, Autonomy) is okay with a 82 - 65 - 3; the Street Safety Act (MP of Hyogo Ogata Montaro, Labour) is unpopular due to claims of over-legislation, with a 70 - 77 - 3; and the Reformed Education Act (MP of Osaka Shinobu Yasuo, EDP) is still without a forecast.
Ministry of Defence Fails a Coup; Governmental Oversight Committee Proposed
On 13 September 2028, Minister of Defence Hirayama Suzu and Field Marshal Fukuyama Gaho, along with a battalion of soldiers, schemed to seize the positions of Prime Minister and Assistant Prime Minister respectively. Unfortunately, their plot was discovered and all those who are involved were punished - all of the battalion were discharged dishonorably, and Suzu and Gaho were charged with treason (amongst other charges) and were executed.
In light of this, Prime Minister Fujita Kanesada proposed a new Royal Act which institutes a Governmental Oversight Committee which would monitor the different branches of government. While praised by many, the Nationalist Party's most ardent opponents - such as MP of Shimane Tone Emi (Labour) - have voiced out their reluctance to the proposal, with many pointing out that it is "unconstitutional".
MoD Lowers DEFCON to 3
With lowering tensions with Iran-somalia and increasing peace with Roswaesia, the Ministry of Defence has officially lowered the DEFCON level to 3. (Higher numbers equal lowered military stance.) The readied DHGMs have been decreased and military presence in cities have been lowered, though neither have been scrapped completely. Parliamentary meetings are scheduled to be regular starting tomorrow.
Remembering the Past
As a celebration for the last day of the use of the Gregorian calendar, Tsar Charles I D'Anglia hosted an event in Tokyo reminiscing on all the events that had happened in the Sakhalinsk Empire since its independence. From the Techolandia War to the First Great Eastern War, from the Sakhalin-Roswaesia Punitive War to Ivan's War, from the creation of JASPER to the discovery of the interuniversal rift, we shall never forget them all.
Royal Acts Update V
The Universal Healthcare Act (MP of Hyogo Ogata Montaro, Labour) passed with a cool 101 - 42 - 7, giving the Labour Party a helpful popularity boost. The National Identification Act (MP of Gifu Tsuchiya Fumimaro, Nationalist) is still under debate but is favoured amongst the MPs. The RPHS Act (MP of Shimane Tone Emi, Labour) is still under debate as well, but it still is highly controversial on the certain substances declared as illegal.
New proposals on the horizon include the Prohibition Act (MP of Tokyo Akamatsu Akeno, Autonomy), the Sexual Education and Consensual Age (SECA) Act (MP of Kyoto Sakurazaki Motoyasu, Nationalist), the Street Safety Act (MP of Hyogo Ogata Montaro, Labour), and the Reformed Education Act (MP of Osaka Shinobu Yasuo, EDP).
The World Calendar is Adopted
The World Calendar, a proposed reform of the Gregorian Calendar, was adopted officially today in Parliament with a 87 - 53 - 10. The new calendar ensures that certain dates always fall on certain dates (e.g. 1 January is always Sunday); it achieves this by a non-week holiday, Worldsday, as well as a non-week Leapday (which is in June). It was shunned by many governments since it breaks the weekly cycle vital for many religious holidays, but since the Russian government is officially atheist, this is no problem.
It will be adopted starting September 1, since the Gregorian Calendar and the World Calendar align on this day.
Too Hot to Hoot
Today, the long dispute over China with Roswaesia has finally ended formally with the Treaty of Hohhot. The treaty, in a nutshell, states that Roswaesia cannot make new claims on us and that we cannot make new claims on them. It also establishes a non-aggression pact between us, meaning that we can't attack each other.
The Rouble Strengthens
Today, the Sakhalinsk Russian Rouble (SRB) hit 3 USD = 1 SRB, marking the currency's strongest time and making it one of the strongest currencies in the world. Russian economists hope that it would become a currency for international trade, just like the Imperial Credit and the Crown Paqra.
DEFCON 2
Today, after threats by Iran-somalia on nuking numerous nations around the Sea of Japan (including Hanguk-Nippon and Roswaesia), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defence have held an emergency meeting with Parliament.
The new Defence Readiness Condition, or DEFCON, was officially put into place after the meeting. It was set to DEFCON 2, meaning high preparedness for war - the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has banned all travel to and from Iran-Somalia and embargoes on their imports have been made, and the Ministry of Defence have prepared missiles.
Novosti (us) has set up a Doomsday Clock, which visualizes the time before a global apocalypse. It is currently set to 5 Minutes To Midnight.
Royal Acts Update IV
MP of Gifu Tsuchiya Fumimaro (Nationalist)'s Public Transportation Act passed with a nice 105 - 25 - 20, while the National Symbols Act by MP of Mie Shinoharu Sukeyasu (Autonomy) went through with a 87 - 43 - 20.
Meanwhile, MP of Shimane Tone Emi (Labour)'s Regulation of the Propagation of Hazardous Substances Act (RPHS Act) is still under heated debate, sparking intense rivalry between the Economic Development Party and the Labour Party. New drafted legislation, such as the Universal Healthcare Act (MP of Hyogo Ogata Montaro, Labour) and the National Identification Act (MP of Gifu Tsuchiya Fumimaro, Nationalist).
The Great Sandstorm of China
Last July 21, reports from Roswaesia came stating that a giant sandstorm was to form near Xinjiang. A few days later, it did form, causing a national emergency in the Chinese portion of Roswaesia, with oxygen masks and other protective clothing being distributed. It is to reach Inner Mongolia and possibly Manchuria by tomorrow; Novosti, in partnership with the Russian Government, encourages all people to move to their nearest evacuation center.
Royal Acts Update III
MP of Yamaguchi Oe Hitoshi (Labour)'s Regulation of Private Industry Act failed spectacularly, with a 28 - 85 - 27, seriously weakening the public opinion of the Labour Party. Meanwhile, MP of Osaka Shinobu Yasuo (EDP)'s Deregulation of Free Trade passed rather closely with a 63 - 52 - 35 vote.
New major proposals include the National Symbols Act by MP of Mie Shinoharu Sukeyasu (Autonomy), the Regulation of the Propagation of Hazardous Substances Act (or the RPHS Act) by MP of Shimane Tone Emi (Labour), and the Public Transportation Act by MP of Gifu Tsuchiya Fumimaro (Nationalist).
Maria Ivanov is Married to Brutus I Rurikovich, But Not All Agree
With an agreement with the current government of East Sakhlin, Maria Ivanov - the sister-in-law of Tsar Charles I D'Anglia - has married Brutus I Rurikovich, their leader.
While many consider this to be a momentous occasion, many have expressed their strong disagreement with this move, most notably PM Fujita Kanesada. "This is clearly a political maneuvre and not a marriage from love, which is against what marriage is even about," he expressed. "If I had the power to annul this marriage, I would've done it long before."
Royal Acts Galore - Part 2
MP of Mie's Shinoharu Sukeyasu's Free Speech Act had just become RA 3, and MP of Shimane Tone Emi's Rights of Workers Act has become RA 4. The Regulation of Industry Act by MP of Yamaguchi Oe Hitoshi is still under discussion, and MP of Osaka Shinobu Yasuo (from the Economic Development Part)'s Deregulation of Free Trade is under discussion.
A Strange Site for All to See
The nation's JASPER program has announced a scientific discovery that sounds very unrealistic yet truly exists - what appears to be a "interuniversal hole" in the asteroid belt.
The head of JASPER, Hamasaki Yorikane, told our interviewers what it is. "Basically, we sent out our first microspacecraft two weeks ago - the Tsar I Launch - and a few days earlier, they vanished. We rushed to launch a few more (they're very cheap to produce, thankfully) and they probed the area where they were last found. They discovered what appeared to be a sort of 'gate' which seemed to lead to another dimension. It couldn't have been a wormhole since we've already discovered a wormhole - actually, that was quite a while ago - and it was no way near like this."
A larger space mission to the time hole is currently being planned. Suggestions from scientists include using Nova Montronian asteroid bases to jumpstart the program.
Marco Polo takes a Swim
In the nation's protectorate Manchu States, news from there has stated that a devastating international incident had taken place. In summary, a group of Roswaesian soldiers patrolling southern Beijing have been killed by a bomb, presumably detonated by soldiers from the States.
This sent a shockwave throughout the international community, especially with the Discussions of Hohhot taking place between our nation and Roswaesia over who owns the land. PM Fujita Kanesada reacted very critically about this, stating "If we do not make a turn for peace now, then I assure you, there will be war coming." Because of this the military's funding has increased dramatically.
Royal Acts Galore!
With the reformation of the entire Parliament, numerous MPs are already authoring their own Royal Acts. MP of Mie Shinoharu Sukeyasu, whose Protection of Scientific Research and Development Act (the PSRD Act) had passed with a great majority, has already drafted up and put into debate the Free Speech Act. MP of Shimane Tone Emi, from the Labour Party, is working on a Rights of Workers Act, and her partymate MP of Yamaguchi Oe Hitoshi is drafting up a Regulation of Private Industry Act.
JASPER Perfects New Rocket to (Micro)Shake the World
The JASPER (Joint Asteroid Space Program for Exploration and Research), along with its parent partner SpaceX, have finalized and patented designs for a "Microfluidic Electrospray Propulsion Engine", also known as a MEP Engine or Indium Engine. (It's in development IRL, go here: https://youtu.be/Y7IsyjFROHE?t=139) These engines, to be attached to microspacecraft (or rather small spacecraft), will hopefully lead to the first space exploration program to the Inner Asteroid Belt.
Tsar Charles I D'Anglia, who has always been a supporter of space exploration, announced that "I am excited to see our nation become a pioneer in easy, reliable, and efficient space exploration." It is said that, because of this, MP Shinohara Sukeyasu of the Autonomy Party has proposed a new law which would protect and fund scientific research.
True Peace with East Sakhalin
After many months of fighting, uneasy peace, and revolutions, a true Treaty has been signed between us and East Sakhlin. This Treaty, the Treaty of Sapporo, officially recognizes the sovereignty of East Sakhalin.
Tsar Charles I D'Anglia and PM Fujita Kanesada have hinted at an alliance with them in the very near future. "With our peace, we can achieve much more if we work together," they announced together. "We hope that our cooperation lasts a long time."
Fujita Kanesada made PM; First Few Laws Pass
In response for being given back the crown, Tsar Charles I D'Anglia has made (former) Emperor Kanesada I Fujita (who prefers to be called just Fujita Kanesada) the acting Prime Minister of the 3rd Constitution. Later that day, Fujita Kanesada passed RA (Royal Act) 1, or the "Crimes Act", which simply details illegalizes numerous crimes such as murder, theft, corruption, and drug use.
Tsar Charles I is Welcomed Back!
Emperor Kanesada I Fujita, who has been the leader for about a week now, has officially abdicated the throne back to Tsar Charles I, who had been in exile in Ho Chi Minh City for nearly a year. Upon being asked why he abdicated he responded "I realized that I work better as a subordinate of someone more experienced." Citizens, who have been positive of Charles I's rule, welcomed him eagerly as well.
SLMY is Imprisoned; Kanesada Fujita is Crowned Kanesada I
Supreme Leader Markus Yevonov has been discovered to be imprisoned by secret agents hired by the Labor Day Rioters, and in a handheld video, has signed a document formally announcing his "abdication to Kanesada I Fujita". Kanesada Fujita, or rather Fujita Kanesada, was a former Head of the National Council before Yuliy's Coup, is now known to be the head of the Labor Day Riots and has proclaimed himself Emperor.
Technically, with Markus Yevonov's abdication, the head of state should revert back to Charles I D'Anglia, who is currently in hiding in Ho Chi Minh City. Currently though, the de facto leader is the aforementioned Kanesada I Fujita.
Labor Day Riots Continue; Possible Change of Leadership
It is already May 5 and the Labor Day Riots are continuing. Numerous buildings, such as the National Diet Building and the Tokyo Metropolitan Building, have been overrun and are presumably used as "rebel" headquarters. The military has been dispatched to deal with the protests, but even then they have been overwhelmed and it does not seem likely that they would be able to bounce back.
Supreme Leader Markus Yevonov has been offered the chance to send in missiles, but he has fervently refused this, saying "I cannot use that much unnecessary force against my own citizens." Instead, he has evacuated to an undisclosed location, which has totally destroyed his public image and has presumably only furthered the riots.
The Labor Day Riots
Conflict between native Japanese and the ruling-class Russians have led to the Labor Day Riots (労働党の暴動), a series of protests staged in Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya. Police have either joined the riots or have been defeated by them, and business in the stated cities has practically stopped. Numerous Russian residences have been vandalized, with many being completely destroyed. Even Supreme Leader Markus Yevonov has been injured after one rioter threw a wine bottle at him; fortunately, his wounds were minor.
Upon recovery, he announced "Why do you wish to rebel? You are treated as fairly as all else. Simply being a majority doesn't make
The Ivory League
In a surprising move, Supreme Leader Markus Yevonov has announced that, instead of competing with Volaworand for control of Australia, he would begin to (re)create an alliance. "My reasoning for this is the dissolution of the World Court," he announced yesterday. "Its oppressive has led to a war with us, and I understand that you hate war. I hate it, but at times it could feel necessary. Hopefully, it wouldn't end up that way."
He then proposed that an international mega-alliance, known as the Ivory League, be formed. "I was alive when the Coalition of Allied States was formed. It failed. Why? Other than us - quite literally the lifeblood of it - it was made up of weak nations. But the Ivory League, much like its namesake, is strong yet beautiful. It shall be comprised of strong and beautiful nations, such as Midand, Techolandia, and of course Volaworand.
However, he has also stated that he is not willing to release Queensland entirely. "Yes, it may seem contradictory from what I've said earlier, but I still firmly hold my belief that Queensland is rightfully ours. We will never give it up, at least entirely."
Queensland, Part Two
In response to Supreme Leader Markus Yevonov's "We Will Not Lose Queensland" speech, the Volaworandian government has retaliated by stating in a private message that, in exchange for recognizing Queensland as theirs, multiple diplomatic relations would be made. Yevonov has, of course, not liked this offer. "Once again, they are ours by law," he reiterated in another speech yesterday. "They may have some claim over the land, but in view of everyone it is ours now."
The militarization in the Russian Antarctic Claim, despite it not overlapping the Volaworandian claim, has not yet been withdrawn due to unknown reasons. Navy patrols in the Coral Sea, Tasman Sea, and the Southern Ocean have been strengthened.
Supreme Leader Yevonov will Not Lose Queensland
With the recent return of Volaworand on the world stage (with many controversies to boot), the Small Council (i.e. Nikita Polotentsev, President of Korea) has been urging Supreme Leader Markus Yevonov to repeal the Treaty of Brisbane and grant back Volaworand their de jure territories. However, he has retaliated against these, stating that "We have got them legally and in the view of the international world stage. We will not lose Queensland, no matter what happens." His advocates have also stated that Volaworand's controversies invalidate their claim, but Yevonov has dismissed their remarks.
In response to his speech, he has immediately called for strong implementation of martial law in Queensland, as well as our Antarctic Territories whenever possible. Military bases have been refortified and scientific research bases in Antarctica are stocking up with munitions. Yevonov has granted Ivan I Ivanov, former King of Cascadia and possible Small Council member, jurisdiction over Queensland, but he is keeping Antarctica semi-autonomous.
Small Council Convenes
Today, the Small Council - a "legislature" idea formulated by Supreme Leader Markus Yevonov - has first convened in the President's Residence in Seoul, Korea. Right now, it only has Yevonov and President Nikita Polotentsev as its members, but Yevonov has stated that he is considering "many people" for the longlist.
Ensured people would be John Mallaugh, former Vice President of Cascadia; Ivan I Ivanov, former King of Cascadia; and Filipp Yuliyevich Alistratov, son of former Supreme Leader Yuliy Alistratov. Longlist candidates include Levy Sauven, Admiral of the National Navy.
End of War. For Real.
Today, Supreme Leader Marcus Yevonov has announced that a ceasefire has once more been signed with the nation of East Sakhlin, and that peace negotiations are underway. "I am pleased to announce that the mess started by my predecessor (Supreme Leader Yuliy Alistratov) has ended, and that a time of prosperity may begin once more," he announced in a rather rare public speech.
At the same time, Yevonov has planned on forming the Small Council, a group of 10 to 20 people who would aid the Supreme Leader (i.e. him) in political and economic decisions. It would possibly include Nikita Polotentsev, President of Korea; John Mallaugh, Vice President of Cascadia; and maybe even Ivan I Ivanov, King of Cascadia.
War Never Changes
It has been discovered that the East Sakhalinsk government has not surrendered, and the war for independence will still continue.
Assassination of Yuliy Alistratov!
Today, local reports have shown that Supreme Leader Yuliy Alistratov was killed! Some believe that Montronian forces were involved, which may lead to hostilities. Field Marshal Markus Yevonov has taken over
Christmas Gift: End of War!
Just in time for Christmas, East Sakhalin has surrendered due to overwhelming defeat. Peace negotiations will take place next year (2028) in Singapore
East Sakhalin Declares Independence?!?!?
Today, the small but mighty nation of East Sakhalin (East Sakhlin) has declared independence, with their leader (known only as "Nikolai") stating that "we deserve this" despite their government having no basis. They lack international support and their claimed amount of land forces is suspicious.
Yuliy Alistratov, in a statement, said that "Not only do they have no basis, they do not have the power to create their own basis." (This cryptic message means that they do not have a basis for independence AND they do not have enough firepower to "create a basis", or rather, create a point for independence.)
Cascadia Formally Surrenders
Today, the government of Cascadia has surrendered and has been dissolved. Ivan I will be designated at the King of the Autonomous Region of Cascadia. The Council of Cascadia has been arrested and will be jailed for life.
The Satake-Joseon-Polotentsev Agreement
Today, Vizier and President of Korea Nikita Polotentsev has announced that "I have made agreements with Emperor Min Satake-Joseon, heir to former Emperor Hyo Satake-Joseon's legacy, in which he will
The War's Over?
Today, new information has revealed that the "crushing defeat" in San Francisco was merely the defeat of a scouting army, and that the main army led by Field Marshal Markus Yevonov has taken San Francisco. Their de jure leader, Ivan I, has been captured but will be pardoned as with the Birobidzhan Ultimatum.
Assault on San Francisco Leads To Failure
Today, what would've been an easy victory for our troops in Ivan's War led to a crushing defeat. After Tijuana and San Diego were captured by the Armed Forces of Russia, the "March to San Francisco" was performed, which would've been a quick capture of their capital and ultimately their defeat. Unbeknownst to our troops, however, the Cascadians anticipated this, and fortified the city with barricades of men. When our troops arrived, they attacked the men, and a flank ambushed them from behind, leading to most of them dead. Field Marshal Markus Yevonov is nowhere to be found, presumably either killed or captured.
Meanwhile, to the north, the city of Hyder has been retaken. The northern troops are currently on their way to Seattle and Olympia, with the overwhelming force obliterating the small opposition. However, General Lukas Limardano has been warned in case the Cascadians attempt to use their second trick twice.
South Caleblan Gets Couped; Possible Splitting of Dynasties
Today, Queen-Consort Svetlana Janet - the wife to king Jones I Janet of South Caleblan and the last surviving direct child of former Tsar Sergey I - has performed a coup in her palace, leading to her being crowned Queen Lana I. She immediately stated upon her announcement as queen that "I will not stand with the Stanislavian Shigayevs, as they are not true Shigayevs." This has caused tensions between the Sergeyan Shigayevs (descendants of Sergey I, i.e. Svetlana and her children, Sergey II and his children) and the Stanislavan Shigayevs (descendants of Stanislav Shigayevs, i.e. Ivan I of Cascadia and his sisters), with rumours of the latter considering to split and become a separate dynasty, the Ivanovs.
The Birobidzhan Ultimatum
Today, in order to promote international relations, Supreme Leader Yuliy Alistratov, along with Vizier Nikita Polotentsev, have signed the Birobidzhan Ultimatum: an agreement to cancel some policies internally in exchange for international benefits. This means that executions for political disagreements have been banned, but it also means that the nation receives a total of 20,000,000,000 roubles from Deumontiverland and Nova Montron combined.
Korean Emperor Has Been Found Dead!
Today, Korean (Hanguk-Nippon) Emperor Hyo Satake-Joseon has been found dead in the ground floor of Seoul Incheon Airport today with a large knife wound in his abdomen, along with a katana which is presumed to be the murder weapon. Due to the power vacuum in the region, Vizier Nikita Polotentsev has been selected to be the acting ruler of the region.
The War So Far
So far, Ivan's War is still ongoing, but with our Russian side in favour. The cities of Whitehorse and Hyder have been retaken, and most of British Columbia has been occupied. To the south, San Diego has fallen and there appears to be little opposition in the March to San Francisco.
Like a Bullet to the Brain
Supreme Leader Yuliy Alistratov, after realising that without action his regime will fail, has ordered an air strike on the protesters in Tokyo. Thousands of people were injured, but the death count is unknown. The crowd fled and the police were sent to put all citizens under watch.
The Yearning for Democracy
Today, a massive rally took place in the streets of Tokyo as millions of protesters marched to the National Diet Building to restore the Parliament - or rather, create a republic. The army was able to push some protesters back but they are still struggling to counter them.
Unfortunately...
Unfortunately, the rebel Cascadian forces have regained control of Hyder and have also taken the town of Whitehorse, thus gaining them control of the entire Yukon. Their troops are currently overwhelming ours in their March to Nome, and the city of Juneau is currently under siege.
Meanwhile in Mexico, our troops have retaken Tijuana and are pushing into San Diego and other towns in California. It is a long push, but if the troops reach San Francisco then the war will end.
Executions!!!
Today, Supreme Leader Yuliy Alistratov has publicly executed former Minister of Justice Benediktov Vitaly Vadimovich for being a "security threat to the integrity of the State". He has been replaced with no-one.
Retaking of Hyder
The community of Hyder, under control of rebel Cascadian forces, has recently been retaken. Forces in Tijuana are also slowly pushing the rebels out.
The Fasces
Supreme Leader Yuliy Alistratov has passed Executive Order No. 10, which allows him to use a fasces to perform corporal and capital punishment at his will. His most loyal officers will also get their own fasces.
Abolition of the Imperial Relics
Supreme Leader Yuliy Alistratov has passed Executive Order No. 9, which abolishes all insignia and regalia having connection with the Royal Family or royalist ideals. This means that the current coat of arms will be abolished and will be replaced with a new one once it has been designed.
The Culling of Peace
Today, former PM Yuliy Alistratov - somehow recovering from an assassination attempt much faster than expected - declared the nation a "National State" , declaring himself the "Supreme Leader" of the nation. While much of the populace rejected the declaration, the military - now completely under Falangist control - culled all rebellions. Tsar Charles I has evacuated the nation along with the rest of the Royal Family, while the democratic government's whereabouts is unknown.
LONG LIVE THE EMPIRE!
War In and Out
PM Yuliy had just regained consciousness today, and upon hearing news that PM Toshikasu is the new PM, he immediately said (via a newscaster) "Look at these people, attempting to illegally usurp my position in dire times! We need to stop all political dissent!" Protests have continued to grow, with some rioters bombing the National Diet Building and the Imperial Palace with Molotov cocktails. "Are the masses not aware of the clear destruction of democracy?" says one protester. "PM Yuliy is clearly trying to establish a dictatorship! The assassin said so!"
Meanwhile, Ivan's War has not been going great - while assaults made by Techolandia have been somewhat successful in driving back the Cascadians, overall their push north and south is working. Some people have speculated that the Cascadians may use the political instability within the nation to invade and establish a coup.
PM Yuliy is Alive?!?!?
Today, the New Tokyo General Hospital has announced that former Prime Minister Yuliy Alistratov had not been killed in the assassination attempt, albeit he nearly died. Continuing, they said that he was put into a coma and is slowly recovering. Protests against the controversial leader have erupted and the government is again having problems crushing the rebels.
Unfortunately, The War Goes On
Upon his inauguration as PM, Sakaguchi Toshikasu said that "As much as I wish for the war to end, unfortunately, the war has to go on. There is no reversal of the damage my predecessor has done." Protests finally ended but the citizenry still have a feeling of bittersweetness.
PM Yuliy is Assassinated!
Today, the most shocking thing rocked our nation: the Prime Minister, Yuliy Alistratov, was assassinated by an unknown perpetrator. The said perpetrator later released a statement (yet kept his anonymity) that the reason he assassinated the PM was because he foreseen that he would declare the nation a Dictatorship and establish an authoritarian rule. While most politicians disagree with the man's statement, many protestors agreed with it.
APM Sakaguchi Toshikasu has been appointed as the temporary PM of the nation until the 2029 elections.
PM Yuliy Declares Martial Law!
Today, after protests caused congestion in Tokyo streets, Prime Minister Yuliy Alistratov announced that martial law will be implemented until the end of the war. "If we want to succeed in this war, we must make no room for weakness!" he announced to the crowd today. "I hereby pass Executive Order No. 8, which implements martial law across the nation. Any dissent will be crushed!"
Despite this, protestors continued to riot, but this time the military has the power to shoot anyone at will. Tsar Charles I has remarked at this, saying "I may have to leave this nation if this kind of authoritarianism continues."
Peace Revolts!
Today, the biggest oxymoron occurred: thousands of citizens marched the streets of Tokyo in protest against PM Yuliy Alistratov's declaration of war against newly-independent Cascadia. "NO MORE BOMBS," one anonymous protester said. "This is obviously what caused them to declare independence in the first place! We need to simply negotiate diplomatically!" While most policemen are defending against the riots, some have switched sides, using their tear gas in favour of the protesters.
Cascadia Declares Independence!
Just two weeks after the fall of the Manchurian Republic, the Eastern Territories - California, Washington, Oregon, and British Columbia - have declared themselves independent as Cascadia. They have elected Ivan I to be their king.
"This is an outrage!" says PM Yuliy Alistratov. "This is exactly the reason why we should centralise the nation. If federalism continues, autonomy everywhere would skyrocket and nations would be popping up every day!" He later said that "An all-out war has to be done. This cannot be tolerated." As a result, a few news stations have begun calling this "Ivan's War".
Ivan I Lays Claim to the Throne!
Today, Ivan Shigayev - a cousin to former Tsar Sergey II - has laid claim to the Sakhalinsk throne, stating that "the Succession Orders published by the Parliament are incorrect." The Parliament in response rejected this declaration, stating that "We have carefully selected the good Tsar Charles I due to his experience in ruling. We must not simply choose a random relative as they may not have sufficient knowledge of politics."
Ivan I, as he calls himself, has attracted a large crowd of Loyalists, mostly in the Eastern Territories (former states on the West Coast). PM Yuliy Alistratov has stated that "force may be necessary."
The Manchurian Republic Surrenders
After a long struggle along the Manchurian border, Sakhalinsk forces have finally pushed through and captured numerous important cities, culminating with Beijing, the Manchurian Republic's capital. Their president, Lang Jianghong, has been put on trial with charges of treason being put against him, and so have most of his high-ranking officers.
"This is yet another win for the glorious Empire," says Field Marshal Markus Yevonov. "However, we were mostly dependent on luck, and that is not good. Our army must have faith in itself."
"Restoration" Now Invalid
Outshined by the campaigns a few days ago, the House of Commons and the House of Lords have agreed to make all laws that were "restored" - repealed and subsequently un-repealed - invalid. As such, numerous laws have been passed (mostly verbatim copies with a few changes) to replace them.
The Campaigns Are Heating Up!
Despite being two years before the next PM election, many candidates have already expressed their plans of running. Current (controversial) PM Yuliy Alistratov has announced that "I have assured myself that I will run in the elections" while current APM Sakaguchi Toshikasu stated "My reign will be in the interests of the people and not faceless corporations". Even RLP Head and current HNC Wada Puma said that she's "considering running for PM".
For the APM elections, APM Toshikasu said that current LP Matsunaga Hatsumi will be his running mate, while HNC Wada Puma said that Magnus Chesnokov, the current Ambassador to Enhui, will be her running mate. Head of the Autonomy Party Gregory Leonov said he's running for APM without a PM.
The HNC's candidates are not as well defined as those for PM or APM, but former HNC Fujita Kanesada said that "I wish to run again for HNC as I believe that my position was unjustly taken". Current MoJ Vitaliy Benediktov said that "I thought of running for HNC but then I realised it may lead to me not being able to stay as MoJ; however, the option remains open."
The Bridge of Horns
After securing a lease of Djibouti and southwestern Yemen from Nova Montron, Prime Minister Yuliy Alistratov announced to the country that a Russian construction firm - whose name is undisclosed - has begun the construction of the Bridge of Horns, an intercontinental bridge connecting Africa with Arabia. "Formerly unable to be built due to the Yemeni Civil War, with the area now stable we can pursue the project," he said in his announcement speech. Not much applause was heard during the speech but Yuliy's approval ratings have risen.
No More Dual Monarchs
After expressing that she has no interest in being Co-Tsar alongside her future husband Charles I, the Parliament (House of Commons and House of Lords) has agreed to repeal Parliament Act 276 (The Dual Monarchs Act) to appeal future consort Meritha Shigayev.
Meritha Shigayev
Today, Tsar Charles I has announced his formerly secret relationship with Meritha Shigayev, a cousin of former Tsar Sergey II. "I wish to disclose this to the public since we are planning something special for the 17th," he said on radio station 104.5. "I truly love her and I wish to show it to all of you."
Charles I is Proclaimed King of Si-Topia
Today, after a rather long interregnum, the government of Si-Topia has agreed to elect Charles I as the new King of Si-Topia. "After Catherine I's unfortunate death, our nation has been without a ruler which caused much chaos," says prominent monarchist Joel Cassidy. "There have been many attempted republics, all of which were corrupt and collapsed in weeks. We are proud to announce that Charles I is now our beloved King."
A New Constitution
After years of ambiguity, Parliament (both the House of Commons and the House of Lords) agreed to rewrite the entire Constitution, with all new changes being made as Amendments.
Japanese is the New Official Language
After much pressure from the Japanese majority in the country and from Assistant Prime Minister Sakaguchi Toshikasu, Prime Minister Yuliy Alistratov debated and passed Parliament Act 302 through the House of Commons and the House of Lords, making it the Officialization of the Japanese Language Act. Despite being lauded by the majority, the many minorities of the country such as Koreans, ethnic Russians, and Inuits have protested against this act, wishing for a more representative government.
Parliament Act 301
Despite usually protesting against nationalist PM Yuliy Alistratov's policies and acts, the populace of the Sakhalinsk Empire rallied for the execution of surviving members of the Blackout Operatives. In response, the PM has debated with his House of Commons the proposed Parliament Act 301, which would promote the sentence of terrorists (including mass murderers) to execution. It got passed today, its "vulgar" name being the Terrorism Execution Act.
The International Chess Games
Yesterday, on behalf of Tsar Charles I D'Anglia, Prime Minister Yuliy Alistratov has agreed to create the International Chess Games, a major chess tournament, whose 1st games (the 2027 Games) would be hosted here in Tokyo. "I believe this would promote good relations between other nations," he said in an interview. "Not only would their delegates enjoy playing chess with other people, they also get to enjoy our beautiful country, which would help their home governments think of us in a lighter mood."
The Prudism Act
Today, Prime Minister Yuliy's House of Commons and LP Matsunaga Hatsumi have passed Parliament Act 300 or the Prudism Act, which forbids citizens from wearing overly obsene clothing. Detractors of the PM have stated that this act reduces the freedoms of the individual; for example, National Council Head Wada Ruma stated that it "prevents the individual from expressing their true feelings."
Elections!
After an almost unanimous vote by the House of Commons, the Midterm Elections have been held last December 26. Normally the House of Lords would have their elections today, but since they were only implemented half a year ago, only the National Council will have their elections. With the Russian Labour Party and the Economic Development Party in the strange tie, a coin flip decided the new Head of the National Council - Wada Ruma.
Executive and Legislative Reform
In a length debate that began almost two months ago, Parliament argued whether the legislature - itself - should be bicameral. This long debate ended with Prime Minister Alistratov Yuliy Pavlovich signing Parliament Act 284, or the Executive and Legislative Reform Act. This splits the Parliament into two chambers; the lower house being the House of Commons, presided over by the Prime Minister, and the upper house being the House of Lords, presided over by the Lord President. The House of Commons now has 325 members, 5 for every Federal District, and the House of Lords has 100 members. The executive branch's National Council now has only 50 members, but is still presided over by the Head.
The Old King Is Dead
Tsar Sergey II and Tsaritsa Catherine I are dead
Charles I Permanently King... For Now
In a brief period of consciousness, Tsar Sergey II heard the news that Charles I D'Anglia became the Regent and told nurses that he wished to "abdicate his throne due to his permanent injuries". He then fell into a coma again. Tsaritsa Catherine I is still in critical condition.
Tsar Nearly Assassinated!
Yesterday evening, Tsar Sergey II along with his wife Tsaritsa Catherine I were in a resort in Hokkaido when an unknown perpetrator, presumably a member of the Blackout Operatives, bombed the resort, killing 5 and injuring over 30 including the Royal Couple. The Parliament, seeing all other potential candidates as "unfit", chose Carlos, Hereditary Count of Monte Cristo, to be the Regent of the nation as Charles I of Anglia.
A Whole Lot Of Legislation
Aside from the restoration of PA 280 and PA 2 as well as the repeal of Executive Order No. 5, the Parliament has passed PA 281 (Sunday Alcohol Ban) and PA 282 (Piracy Ban).
Repeal of the Midterm Elections Act!
After passing Executive Order No. 6 (The Prisoner-Of-War Safety Order), PM Alistratov Yuliy Pavlovich stepped up and somehow repealed Parliament Act 280 (the Midterm Election Act), as well as Parliament Act 2 (the Surveillance Act). He said that "For far too long, people have regarded me as a person who failed, someone who got shoved around. I will show them that that is not true. I will assert myself in any way that I can." Protestors have risen up in the streets, which the police cannot handle well as most weapons were diverted to the soldiers in Manchuria through Executive Order No. 5 (the Redistribution of Arms Order).
Midterm Elections Act
With the dissipation of the Blackout Operatives scare, and under pressure from the mostly democratic-liberal parliament, Prime Minister Yuliy has passed Parliament Act 280 - the Midterm Elections Act. This act makes the National Council elected instead of appointed.
This act has been met with both laud and criticism. "This act allows for the group which controls Executive Orders to be democratically elected, therefore representing the general public," says Assistant Prime Minister Sakaguchi Toshikasu, whose popularity has exceeded that of the Prime Minister. Meanwhile, Chief of the National Council Fujita Kanesada has expressed his distrust of the act. "I believe that PM Yuliy was forced to sign the act, therefore breaching his ability to express his opinions," he said in a speech.
Discontinuation of the Penny
After reports of the penny costing more to mint that its actual value, Prime Minister Yuliy has signed Executive Order No. 4 or the Discontinuation of the Penny Order.
Missionaries in a Precarious Position
Missionaries from the Order of Saint John, a religious organization founded in The united commonwealths of malta, have threatened to kill Sun Xun I, the King of the Manchu states, after he refused to convert his citizens to Roman Catholicism. In response, Prime Minister Yuliy has sent in the military to prevent the OSJ from persecuting non-believers. Executive Order No. 3, the Anti-Persecution Order, was passed to allow this.
JASPER
The Joint Asteroid Space Program for Exploration and Research, also known as JASPER, is a space program created by corporate space agency SpaceX that plans for a research of numerous asteroids in the Asteroid Belt, most notably 16 Psyche. "We are very excited for this program," says Program Head Geoffrey Karlson. "We hope that we can begin research by 2027 - next year - if we get enough funding."
The Anti-Terrorism Order
This morning, after the aftermath of the bombings at the Tokyo New General Hospital, PM Yuliy has announced the passage of Executive Order No. 2 or the Anti-Terrorism Order. This allows police to conduct house raids on suspected terrorists, as well as allowing him (the PM) to declare martial law in specific federal districts if need be.
Numerous people, including the head of the Russian Labour Party Wada Ruma, have criticized the proposal. "This is a breach of privacy!" she exclaimed in a speech. "By allowing the police to break into your homes for no good reason is obviously a breach! Same goes for martial law; what would you feel if some random soldier decides to blitz your home!" Numerous other people, such as the head of political party the Economic Union Miyagawa Gengyo, have defended the act. "Compared to many other methods of dealing with terrorism, this actually protects privacy," he said in on the afternoon news. "Our state surveillance program is simply used to target criminals and terrorists much more easily. While this may seem invasive, other nations have only extended their state surveillance, thus increasing their sample size and making it harder for them to track terrorists. My point is that our plan is good."
Bombing at the Tokyo New General Hospital!
This morning, a bomb was detonated in the Tokyo New General Hospital, which killed at least 2 and injured more than 30. "This truly saddens me," says PM Yuliy. "However, we need to focus on tracking down and prosecuting these criminals. The law goes before emotional judgment."
Constitutional Reform
With the approval of both Parliament and the National Council, Prime Minister Yuliy passed PA 279 which is the Reformed Executive Order Act. This makes it so that the Prime Minister's Executive Orders need to be reviewed by the Supreme Court if they are unconstitutional.
Tsar Sergey II Converts!
Despite being merely a figurehead, Tsar Sergey II is still the face of the nation, and he converted to Roman Catholicism yesterday under orders from The united commonwealths of malta. (I'm tired so this is all I'm writing)
Democratizaton
Tsar Sergey II has agreed to Prime Minister Yuliy's plans of the Second Powers of the Parliament Act, which got passed yesterday as PA 278. This act stripped the Tsar of any official powers but kept his emergency powers; additionally, the House of Representatives was created, which is a Council under the executive branch that is appointed by the Prime Minister and reviews potential Executive Orders, as well as proposing possible Parliament Acts. The Supreme Court is also defined in the Act, which states that the justices are appointed by the Prime Minister but that they cannot be affliated with any political party.
The Greatest Scandal
This morning, Assistant Prime Minster Sakaguchi Toshikasu revealed Prime Minister Yuliy's plans for "Russification" - an operation which, as Toshikasu claimed, "would destroy the individual cultures of our nation."
People have connected the Russification plans to Catherine the Great's Russification, which may have caused the Ukrainian Civil War from 2015 to 2019. However, Yuliy has disagreed with the fact. "Firstly, no one could surely state that they were my plans," he said in response to the claims. "It could easily have been a draft from the Parliament or the Supreme Court." Nevertheless, PM Yuliy's reputation was damaged severely.
Elections for Assistant Prime Minister
The passage of Parliament Act 277, the Assistant Prime Minister (AMP) Act, led to the elections for Assistant Prime Minister. Popular candidate Sakaguchi Toshikasu of the Centrist Party won by a landslide.
More Political Parties
The Nationalist Party, after internal disagreements, has split, with Yuliy's side remaining the Nationalist Party and Savinkov Filipp Yakovich's side becoming the center-right Conservative Party. Meanwhile, the Russian Labour Party has been formed, being led by Wada Ruma.
Centralization and Remilitarization
PM Alistratov Yuliy Pavlovich revoked Executive Order 1 (The Demilitarization Order) in the wake of the Brookston Bombings yesterday. "I express my condolences to the family of Jones and Svetlana," he said upon his arrival at Brookston. "We hope that we can stop terrorism dead in its tracks."
He also announced his plans for the centralization of the Empire, beginning with the revocation of Federalism. This has not been met well by the populace, even within his own party. "I disagree with Yuliy's plans, since our empire is a mix of many different cultures. Repealing federalism prevents the MPs of each Federal District from passing laws that benefit their specific people," said Savinkov Filipp Yakovich, a member of the Nationalist Party and the MP of Alaska. "We need to keep the identity of our cultures."
Queen Catherine I Ascends To The Throne... Beside?
After Parliament, which was continually nagged by Tsar Sergey II, passed Parliament Act 276 (The Dual Monarchs Act) yesterday, the soon-to-be Tsaritsa Catherine I (Yekaterina I) will be coronated on November 12. (That's it.)
Demilitarization
Upon the passage of Parliament Act 275, also known as the Executive Order Act, Prime Minister Yuliy issued Executive Order 1 - the Demilitarization Act. With support from Tsar Sergey II, he passed the Order which plans on curtailing the National Army (by reducing it from 1,000,000 active soldiers and 1,500,000 reserves to 750,000 soldiers and 1,000,000) and reducing the amount of military bases. Regarding his opinion on passing it, he said "I know now that war is not good on the international stage, and we want to show that." He later said that, although the nation will no longer declare wars on a whim, they will still be supporting allies' wars.
Nagoya Spaceport!
Today, rather controversial PM Yuliy unveiled the Nagoya Spaceport today. Millions of people attended the opening today and a few even started placing reservations on the Romanov I, a peasant-class frigate courtesy of Nova Montron. In addition, the Space Research Organization of Sakhalin (SpROSa) are already planning a research mission to the asteroid 16 Psyche due to theories that it was once a core of a planet.
The Sanctity
Prime Minister Yuliy and his Nationalist Party are beginning to enact bills that would curtail some rights in the name of "sanctity". For example, there's Proposed Parliament Act 275, the Modesty Act, prohibits citizens from wearing clothing that "show too much skin". Act 275 is currently being debated, with the bill surprisingly gaining many Yes votes due to Yuliy's charismatic conversion of the minor parties.
Then there's the Proposed Parliament Act 276, the Anti-Smoking Act, which would prohibit smoking altogether. There has been both support and opposition to the act. Lastly, there's Proposed Parliament Act 277, the Executive Order Act, which would allow Yuliy to pass Executive Orders without the support of the Parliament. This troubles many liberal leaders.
NP Defeats DSP in Marijuana Bill
By successfully influencing minority parties such as the People's Rights Coalition and the Centrist Party, as well as convincing a few MPs from Democratic Socialist Party regions, the Nationalist Party has successfully defeated the DSP's bill to legalize marijuana in the Sakhalinsk Empire. PM Yuliy, who is also the NP's leader, has said that "Marijuana can only be allowed for medical uses; the slightest bit more, it needs to be eliminated." Meanwhile, DSP leader Nadeshiko Haruyama argued that "Marijuana is not very addictive and causes less problems compared to alcohol or smoking; if those two are legal, why not weed?"
Military Revamp
Prime Minister Yuliy has announced the expansion and complete revamp of the current military. Eschewed by then-PM Ulanova Stesha Yanovna, the military was said to be "weak and only for use in local village revolts" by Nationalists. Yuliy has also announced increased public transport funding and an expanded police force.
Alistratov Yuliy Pavlovich Ascends To PM Status
In the wake of the May 1 elections this year, in which the Nationalist Party won by one vote, Alistratov Yuliy Pavlovich was selected among the MPs to be the new Prime Minister. A former mayor of numerous cities in the Sakhalinsk Empire, he has been described as "ruthlessly efficient and effective."
Upon his inauguration, he announced that his main plan is "to further the interests of the Sakhalinsk Empire, both domestically and diplomatically." Along with that, he denounced the Democratic Socialist Party's plans of legalizing marijuana; he supported Hyperloop One's plans of building the Hyperloop Sakhalin around the empire; and the finalization of Nagoya Space Station.
Indecisiveness
In the wake of the wedding of Tsar Sergey II and Queen Catherine Si of Si-topia, Parliament could have easily passed a Veto Statement for Sergey II's change in the succession laws. Instead, due to all the rabble going on, plus filibustering and the continued delay for the election of PM, the Succession Laws Act was changed. "I cannot handle this nonsense," said one MP, who wishes to stay anonymous. "Although Tsar Sergey II's decision to reinstall the Parliament was popular, this 2nd Parliament is weaker and more disorganized."
Protesters have risen in the streets wishing to dissolve Parliament and to create a simple Republic. However, of course the Tsar wouldn't wish to give up his position, nor would he want to anger the populace. We will find out more through the next year.
The Queen-Consort is Dead!
At around 4:31 AM today, Queen-Consort Muinepe I Somarevna Mono-Mono Shigayev was found dead in her bedroom without any visible injuries. The Queen was in perfect health beforehand, so this remains a mystery
Government Reforms Pending
Tsar Sergey I announced that when the Civil War ends with a Royalist victory ("It will happen," he later said) he is going to reform all branches of government: executive, legislative, and judiciary. "The main point for this really is the lack of clarity in the processes of the judiciary. The Supreme Court, its purpose, and its members is all too... 'fuzzy'. I'd like to change that." That was announced earlier this morning in the Tokyo Imperial Gardens.
The Civil War Begins!
Prime Minister Ulanova Stesha Yanovna, after having gained support from other nations, have deem it time to revolt against Tsar Serg
Military Dissonance
Between the growing tensions of PM Stesha and Tsar Sergey I, military personnel are being forced to switch sides. As each prefecture/oblast/territory is granted 5 infantry divisions and 1 mechanized division, most states chose to side with the Tsar except for a few in Kyushu and Shikoku.
Tsar Sergey I Denounces PA 267!
Contrary to what PM Ulanova Stesha Yanovna said, Tsar Sergey I announced that he denounces Parliament Act 267 (the First Powers of the Parliament Act). "The act curtails the power of the Tsar, which is central to the nation," he announced. "If the Tsar's power is curtailed, then the nation's power is curtailed!"
In reaction to this, PM Stesha said that "I'm not afraid to revolt against Sergey. The people are getting tired of a monarchy anyways." Small riots are beginning to be held in Osaka, Sendai, Niigata and other places.
More Constitution
Parliament Act 267, the First Powers of the Parliament Act, has been passed by Ulanova Stesha Yanovna and her Parliament. After a lengthy personal discussion with Tsar Sergey I, Stesha announced that Parliament shall gain more power and the monarch be more ceremonial. "He has agreed to this," she said. "He knows that other nations see us as imperialistic and undemocratic and he wishes to change that." Some of the articles in PA267 include:
That the Parliament shall be able to add, sign, ratify, amend, repeal, and leave treaties;
That the Parliament shall be able to take control of the Royal Army, Navy, and Airforce in the event of war in which the Royal Family has been captured or executed;
That the Tsar shall relinquish direct power over diplomacy, though he shall still be able to attend diplomatic meetings and propose changes to resolutions.
Firing Squad
Due to the surge in prices of lethal drugs used to execute prisoners, Prime Minister Ulanova Stesha Yanovna (who had won the snap election on February 1) announced the switch to execution by firing squad. "We still have stockpiles of bullet guns that could be used for this purpose. I believe that plasma rifles are too powerful for close-range execution," she said in a speech. She said later that "Personally, I'd get rid of the death penalty entirely but I wish to represent our nation and its people. I have polled citizens during the Chaykovsky Administration and most wished to keep the death penalty."
Aftermath
Millions have died in the rather brief war against Egariopia. What should've been a simple annihilation led to a struggle between David and Goliath. PM Christov was killed in the nuking of Tokyo and Tsar Sergey I nearly was killed as well and only averted catastrophe by a hare's hair.
Extreme sanctions have been placed on Egariopia and the government is working to rebuild Tokyo.
PM Christov nearly Impeached
This morning, Ulanova Stesha Yanovna, feeling confident after successfully repealing PA-165 (The Capital Punishment Act), decided to file an impeachment complaint against Prime Minister Chaykovsky Christov Larionovich stating that "as he has no power due to his low approval ratings."
However, under the Constitution, mere unpopularity is not a valid reason for impeachment and as such the complaint was denied. Approval ratings for Stesha and the entire DSP dropped by 29.8, while ratings for Christov and the Nationalists went up by 10.7 points. This means that, if the Nationalists play their cards right, Christov might win another term as PM.
"I cannot believe that the DSP would do such a thing," Christov said in an interview following the incident. "As much as I want to have a firm stance on issues, I have to admit that the Parliament is that all voices can be represented. Seeing as though that Stesha would attempt to impeachment just because of my unpopularity is a bit... well, I don't have a word for it really."
Tariff Trouble
Despite the marriage of Tsarevna Svetlana to Prince Jones Janet of South Caleblan, relations seem to be a bit shaky after Prime Minister Christov's decision to raise tariffs. "I understand that other nations believe tariffs are a restriction on free trade," he said in a very controversial speech. "However, we are planning to reduce income taxes to offset our planned increase of sales tax. Tariffs can help ease the transition."
This speech led to the plummet of the popularity of the Nationalist Party, with some members even transferring to the PRC or the DSP. The leader of the DSP, Stesha, stated that "If we win the next election, it will be a win for democracy everywhere." She said last year that while she aligns herself with the interests of the people, she "hopes to improve our reputation on the international stage."
Union of Central American States Created
Tsar Sergey I's Christmas gift to our citizens living in Central America was the creation of the Union of Central American States.
Royal Family Update #1
Tsesarevich Sergey II Sergeyevich Shigayev and his wife, Muinepe I Somarevich Shigayev, have had triplets four years ago on this day: Sergey III, Wilhelm I, and Eduard I.
Democratic Socialists Denounce Flag Burning
This morning, Ulanova Stesha Yanovna, the leader of the Democratic Socialist Party, has denounced Chaykovsky Christov Larionovich's Imperial Act which bans flag burning. "Obviously, we have the right to protest against the government," she argued in a political speech. "Every government has their faults, and it's the opposition's job to point them out."
Christov retaliated by stating that "Flag burning is not only attacking our national spirit, it also attacks our national tailors! It wastes precious fuels and thread!" Unfortunately, that counter-speech's attempts to undo the damage done by Stesha were futile.
Tsarevich Vladimir I is Dead!
After having been missing for two days, the dead body of Tsarevich Vladimir I Sergeyevich Shigayev was found at the back of Tokyo Metropolitan Kokusai High School. Several stab marks along with the murder weapon - his personal knife - were found on him. "Why could this happen to my dear brother?" wailed Tsesarevich Sergey II, unable to control his emotion. "Why?"
The funeral will be held on February 24.
More Political Parties and the Race for the Parliament
As election day draws nearer, more and more citizens are becoming politicians and racing for one of the 65 in the Parliament. More political parties appear to be springing up as well.
The Движение за права человека (People's Rights Movement), also known as the PRM, is led by Durov Benedikt Georgiy and has a liberal platform. "We believe that the people's rights have been oppressed and that we need to restore them," he announced. "Well, everyone says that, but it's true...?"
The Центристская партия (Centrist Party) is led by Zhilina Nelya Igorievna and has a platform of, well, centrism. "A good middle ground pleases everyone and is good for administration," she said. "I hope we can implement it more in this nation."
The Saigon Symbiosis
The Treaty of Ho Chi Minh City is nearing completion, with only a few terms left to discuss. "Thank goodness we're almost done with this war!" says diplomat Yevtushenkov Simon Yanovich. "Although a few terms seem unfavorable to us, it is to prevent any future conflict."
Political Parties Brewing Up
As the elections for Prime Minister and the Members of Parliament draw closer, citizens have begun to be less politically apathetic and have brewed up a number of political parties.
The Националистическая партия (Nationalist Party), led by Chaykovsky Christov Larionovich, has a platform of putting the nation and its people first. "Of course, we won't cut all diplomatic ties with other nations, but we'd like to put us first," he said earlier.
The Демократическая социалистическая партия (Democratic Socialist Party), commonly called Демсоц (DemSot or DemSoc), is led by Ulanova Stesha Yanovna and has a platform of - well, democracy and socialism. "The capitalists own too much and give too little to our marginalized," she said. "We hope to change that without causing much of a ruckus."
Treaty of Jayapura
The Treaty of Jayapura was signed with West papua new gueina after a brief dictatorship led to conflict and even brief bombardments of their capital. The treaty states that the monarchy be restored and that Princess Muinepe I shall be legally married to Tsesarevich Sergey II after relinquishing their claims to the West Papuan throne.
The Saigon Situation
After the legalization of protests this morning, swarms of people crowded the streets of Seoul due to the fact that Techolandia failed to announce the beginning of the Treaty of Ho Chi Minh City. "This is an outrage!" cries out diplomat Yevtushenkov Simon Yanovich. "How dare they not announce the beginning of the talks! We were already getting on to peace and now they spit on our reputation!"
Meanwhile, Tsesarevich Sergey II stated that "It was a mere accident. I can excuse it this time. It's not like there would be a nuke dropped on our heads..."
Double Rings
Despite initially having hostile relations due to them declaring independence and our air force bombing their capital, the Sakhalinsk Empire has forged an alliance - and even a royal marriage - with West papua new gueina (sic). "By acting diplomatically rather than militaristically, we can open up to more nations," says diplomat Bazina Manina Yanovna. "We hope that we can also ease tensions with Techolandia."
Alongside this relationship is the opening of our embassy with Midand in their city Northern Springs with diplomat Golov Bogdan Petrovich as Chief Ambassador. "Of course, this can only have good to come out of it," says his replacement Yevtushenkov Simon Yanovich. "Glory to Sakhalin! Glory to Midand!"
The Manchurian Candidate
Due to the fact that the war against Nova Montron is slowing down, multiple people have posed questions over the (hopeful) acquisition of North Korea and Manchuria. "We do not need more land! This is an imperialist act!" protesters argued while marching in Seoul. "However, the purchase of the territories is a sign of cooperation between us and Imperial isaac," says diplomat Bazina Manina Yanovna. "Plus, we can cooperate with the Chinese there. It's not like we'll oppress them."
Let Slip the Dogs of War
Many hoped for a peaceful Valentine's Day in the midst of what is dubbed the "Sakhalinsk-Techolandia War". This hope, unfortunately, would not come to fruition as Nova Montron declared war on the United commonwealths of columbia and, due to our nation's surrender, we must join the UCC alongside Techolandia against our former ally.
Put on Low Heat
The war with Techolandia is against the odds for us as not only both the United commonwealths of columbia and Nova Montron joined on the opposing side but Imperial isaac's leader, Typhon, was prosecuted in international court. "The situation truly is unfavorable," says Golov Bogdan Petrovich in an address to the Royal Family. "We must declare our surrender in order to minimize losses."
Trouble in the Caribbean
Manina's "envelope of peace" created by the IC may not be apparent, as tensions with the nation of Techolandia continue to grow. "A rogue member of the honorable and august IC wrote Article IX in the Charter of the IC, which, verbatim, states that 'the island shall be turned into a landfill'," says Bazina Manina Yanovna. "Since none of our ambassadors wrote it, nor has any of Imperial isaac's, we may have a diplomatic incident in our hands."
The International Commonwealth
Along with Volaworand and Imperial isaac, our nation has formed an international organization called the International Commonwealth, similar to the Eurasian Pact and the Pacific Pact but on a much larger scale. "We hope this will be promoting better relations with the two nations, creating better trade - and arms - deals, and enveloping the world with a blanket of peace," said Bazina Manina Yanovna. "We wish for prosperity for all."
A Better Flag
Prime Minister Chazova Shigayev has announced that, after studying vexillology, she has called for a referendum for a flag change. The vote succeeded with about 78% of the populace accepting the change. "Many citizens gave reasons for the flag change, such as the fact it's impossible to see in the snowy air and that, well, I'll quote verbatim: 'Who likes white on white?'"
Free Funafuti!
The independence movement in the Pacific Islands Territory, now officially called Free Funafuti, has staged illegal protests and riots across Micronesia and Melanesia. The biggest dilemma here is how to deal with them. "I repeat - this is not good!" announces diplomat Golov Bogdan Petrovich in yet another speech. "We must deal with these traitors with what they deserve - good old bombs!" Meanwhile, Crown Prince Sergey II stated that "we can simply deal with this peacefully".
The Wave of Anti-Imperialism
A wave of anti-imperialism has rocked the galaxy, with massive rebellions occurring across The Galactic Empire of Nova Montron, Auphelia, and a handful of other nations. "This is not good!" were the simple words that diplomat Golov Bogdan Petrovich uttered in a public speech. "I fear that these uprisings would occur to us in some far away place, like Tuvalu, and destroy our claims on the Pacific region!"
On the other hand, Emperor Sergey I has considered creating a Freely Associated State (or FAS) with a possibly independent Pacific States. "I believe that not even federalism can save us here," he spoke to our newsman earlier. "Simply letting them go while keeping track of them with gossamer thread would be good. Plus, it might even help the economy."
Military Reforms
After the brief war with the Deutschess reich, which many called "pointless", Emperor Sergey I has called for a military reform. "We cannot risk an invasion at this point. There are wars flying above our heads, and what would we do if one landed on us like a bomb?" he said in a public speech earlier. "We must prepare ourselves before its too late!"
In a surprise move, Deutschess reich has declared war on The Galactic Empire of Nova Montron, bombing one of their shipyards. "By the Treaty of Tokyo, we are bound to protect Montron," says Golov Bogdan Petrovich in an interview. "Despite not having spacefaring capabilities, we are pretty much on the same technology level as them, so it's only a matter of quantity."
The Treaty of San Diego
Our favorite diplomat Bazina Manina Yanovna, along with her new accomplice Golov Bogdan Petrovich, has signed the Treaty of San Diego which grants our nation Kamchatka, Chukotka, and the Aleutian Islands. "We hope that our newly granted territories would give us access to oil fields in the North Pole," Manina said in an interview yesterday. "That will surely help our economy."
Federalism Galore
Before we move on, it's important to know that while the official Head of Government is the Prime Minister, the Head of State (the Emperor) still has executive powers. Plus, as of writing, the Head of State and Head of Government are married.
Anyways, Emperor Sergey I Shigayev has instituted federalism in the Sakhalinsk Empire. "We are a diverse country, with people from many widely differing cultures represented under one flag. Federalism shall ensure that each oblast and territory has complete control over their laws. Of course, there cannot be too much control otherwise this glorious Empire will fall apart; that is why I have rejected pleas of Confederation."[/center]
There's Something About The Pacific
Viewing Montronian political maps of the world shows that not only do we legally own Sakhalin, Japan, and Macau, we also own South Korea, Papua New Guinea, and a whole lot of Pacific islands. "This is amazing! Apparently, nobody appeared to claim the islands, so good old Nova Montron simply gave them to us," says Bazina Manina Yanovna. "We're also considering claiming New Caledonia and Brunei."
Proposals for Sakhalinsk Speed Rail
Multiple people have suggested a railway system connecting the five main islands of the Sakhalinsk Empire (Sakhalin, Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu). “It’s obvious we need relatively cheap transportation over our islands,” says Yada Kinunojo, representative of the now diminished Japan Rail. “People can’t simply fly all the time due to the costs. Trains are much better.”
The Ormon Pact?
While studying radio transcripts in and around Nova Montron, Carmen Litzel discovered mention of an “Ormon Pact”. “Contrary to popular belief, we’re not worried about this at all. We’re interested,” says Carmen in an interview. “I’ve discussed this with Emperor Sergey I and he said that we are willing to join. This will surely help with relations with Montron.”
We’re Free!
The nation of Nova Montron has finally signed the Treaty of Tokyo, therefore our nation is finally truly independent. “We are proud to announce that we have peacefully seceded from the NM,” announced Emperor Sergey I earlier this morning. “We promise prosperity for all of our peoples - Russians, Japanese, and the like.”
Montron-Paragin War Halts Negotiations
The Treaty of Tokyo has not yet been fully discussed as of now due to the Nova Montron-Paragin War. “The war has distracted diplomats from having peace talks,” says our favorite diplomat Bazina Manina Yanovna. “However, they have said on multiple occasions that they are willing to grant our nation independence, so there are no worries there. It’s only the specifics.”
The Discussions Continue
Although the peace discussions with Nova Montron are still being held, it is most likely that Sakhalin will become independent and gain a few extra territories. "Due to the depopulation of the Pacific region, it's highly likely we'll gain Japan, the Kurils, Hong Kong, and Macau as well," said diplomat Bazina Manina Yanovna. "We're also considering moving the capital to Tokio (Tokyo) due to its good infrastructure."
The Sakhalinsk Empire Declares Independence!
Today, 28 January 2018, the Sakhalin Oblast declared independence from Nova Montron, calling themselves the Sakhalinsk Empire, after an independence referendum held the day before won by a landslide. Shigayev Sergey Pavlovich, the leader of the independence movement, announced the nation would be a constitutional monarchy with him being Emperor Sergey I Shigayev and his wife Chazova being the Prime Minister. "We still want to maintain friendly ties with Nova Montron," Emperor Sergey I said through an interpreter. "We clearly are no match for an invasion."
The new logo of the company, designed by Doggo Design
In a recent press release, international megacorporation/conglomerate and one of the world's largest companies, Midand Global Corp., announced that it would undergo a complete and full rebrand, changing it's name to Globe Corp. International.
Midand Global Corp. is Midand's largest company and one of the largest in the world, and is known for many of it's considered "hostile" takeovers, with some of it's most notable takeovers being the ones of Midand Star Hotels, arms manufacturer Horusnia Group, and it's impending takeover of Air Midand.
Midand Global Corp. has long "taken pride" in it's name and origins, with it's motto saying even that "our Midandian roots uphold our firm beliefs in keeping up with Midandian tradition and spreading throughout the world".
However, in a recent and controversial press release, the company has announced that it will undergo a full and extensive rebrand, changing it's name and logo to Globe Corp. International, saying that the name reflects how much the company has grown.
The change has been met with some controversy, with many saying it "contradicts" many of their Midandian origins and roots, and calling the change "very sudden".
Along with the rebrand, the company has also announced the takeover of many more companies as well, including the Midandian National SPIT Co., Doggo Design, AIM Logistics, and Volaworandian health firm Point Cape International. It also continues to pursue a deal with Air Midand and has reached out to Volaworand to acquire it's Southern Transportation Corporation.

In new America, even something as seemingly benign and enjoyable as leisure is regimented. The American leisure organization ALO or Strength through Leisure, provides Americans with the opportunity to affordably travel abroad, take cruises, ski and beach vacations, courses, and provide structured leisure activities. Through a payroll deduction system, many Americans are able to make a down payment for their first automobile known as the “Little Black Car”, or the Oldsmobile Car.
Though the press is now strictly controlled by the state, affordable new state approved radio sets, known as the Telecom portible radio, and selling for as little as 15 dollars, brought radio into the homes of millions of Americans who previously never could afford to own one due to the recession. The fact that it can’t receive shortwave signals and is only powerful enough to receive local North American stations is an added benefit for the state, which strongly discouraged (and later outright banned) listening to foreign broadcasts.
With unemployment steadily dropping, and consumer goods plentiful and reasonably affordable, many Americans are even able to afford their own homes. Life in general is good as long you aren’t a communist, a labor or union activist, a homosexual, a free thinker or intellectual, or a critic of the regime. Mass Industrial Prison Farms have already made their presence, and at this point are a part of the American penal system and a form of incarceration and re-education for critics or enemies of the regime. The state control of society also extended to the Arts, and artists, writers, actors, musicians and others who want their works to be published or presented publicly are required to be members of Republic national standard organization (RNSO) and vow their allegiance to the flag.
After the boycott of foreign-owned shops, Racial minorities of all classes had an increasingly difficult time simply existing in America, and faced numerous employment, professional and social restrictions. Most were starting to see the writing on the wall and many decided to get out of the U.S, but the cost of leaving was high, even if they could find a country willing to accept them. In 1933, they were taxed at 20% of their assets but by 1939 that had jumped to 90%. By the time of the great relocation act of 1840, which marked the unofficial beginning of the forced migration of millions of racial minorities such as blacks, asians, hispanics, and native Americans to the coasts of South America and West Africa. By the time Pelley had stepped down and Augustus Slate, a famous war general had stepped in, many of the nation’s anti-Jewish sentiment had been shaken, as to distinguish the American fascism with that of their new enemy, Nazi Germany. This was also done to recruit the abundance of Jewish scientists that had been expelled from Europe. America now had a scientific body that rivaled that of the Reich, at this same time, Japan desperately tried to keep up with both nations scientifically.

The Lord Inferno has declared an end to free healthcare, due to the falling numbers of staff in hospitals, and the Doctors' Strikes, demanding higher wages.
Lord Inferno's third kitten, Rudolphus, has been born, and is in good health.
Grand General Geoffrey has been declared dead, 14 days after he was shot at the Cattus Bhaile Margaidh Éisg, Felis's world-renowned Fishmarket. The Lord Inferno has declared a week of national mourning, accompanied by a nationwide holiday on Monday, when the funeral will be held at the Cathair-eaglais Naomh Giles, in Dùn Èideann. His successor will be named on Tuesday.
Soupasia's quest has ended, and Lord Inferno has invited King Soupinaspis to a royal banquet in the Palace. Soup will be provided, and they will discuss international matters after the meal.
The "Comann Eòlas nan Cait", Felis's first zoo, has opened in Dùn Èideann. The first exhibits include a rare Pinguinus impennis, and an exhibit on the history of the Ursus spelaeus.

A Series of Terrorist Attacks was launched on the Balticarican Capital City this morning causing the death of 74, 432 Injured including the Mayor of the Capital while causing fear and confusion to the rest citizens. The culprits identified themselves as belonging to the terrorist group Al-Husaun took responsibility for the attack and called it as the "divine punishment to the Infidels". Balticarica raised its Scarlet Terror alert and State of Martial Law while it deployed more soldiers in the Capital City and the its borders. The Government also gave a bounty of 40 Million Balticarican Pound to those who can give a hint on the location of the Terrorist Group. This is the catastrophe on Balticarica this year.
The machine you see on the ground... you start to ponder if you actually killed anything at all, because to kill means to make something not live. And did I live in the first place? Was I even alive - were, are you even alive? Am I the living being and you the machine?!
The thought bu-bumps into your brain further. You feel your own automated heartbeat sound... it throbs and aches... until it stops. You get a taste of what nothing yet everything at the exact time feels like.
You get to answer the dividing question, "What is death". You wake up; you feel the light hit your eyes, and you see my empty ones.
Your brain pounds at you from the inside. BU-BUMP! BU-BUMP!! BU-BUMP!!! And as the darkness comes closing in, you realise what is... BU-BUMP! BU-BUMP!! BU-BUMP!!! I am still gone. BU-BUMP! BU-BUMP!! BU-BUMP! The very thought deleted; my valuable and unique system erased. BU-BUMP! BU-BUMP! It'll only be a matter of months, maybe minutes, BU-BUMP! that BU-BUMP! I BU-BUMP! am lost BU-BUMP in the grand scheme.BU-BUMP.BU-BUMP! BU-- I, only a puppet of the bigger picture, that is you can create power, and also destroy it.
You see the regret shout at you. It pounds and punches and kicks. It screams and roars. You are forced, by your own being, to remember Easty. You remember the spunky fox, and the fluffy Neko.
You see the mistake. But time, and life, and fate, won't work the way you want. East Lodge, the living machine, is dead...
Indeed, police officer will now be able to punish minor offenders themselves, and the use of Court will be reserved to hard-to-decide cases. Moreover, punishment levels will be raised : offenders may undergo corporeal punishments, and the worst criminals may face death penalty.
Therefore, we will see criminality rates fall, and our streets will be much more safer, protected by our brilliant police officers, fully equipped to enforce a strong and peaceful social order.
-- Manu Macron, President of Thransse
Oh no. You see the mistake now, don't you.
Soupasia Felis silvestris grampia Coalition of longitude The Solar System Scope
I simply have too much to do, both online and irl, and cannot continue this sometimes incredibly stressful quest.
I've met so many wonderful people on my quest, and had so many different experiences with different nations, from being welcomed with open arms in The South Pacific, to being completely ignored in Osiris.
I've thoroughly enjoyed most of my quest. The main purpose of it was for me to experience the regions outwith my home region, Europe (incidentally, Europe was one of the regions which was least responsive to my quest). I've also, with varying degrees of success, attempted to have a Soup of the Week every Tuesday.
However, I've realised that I haven't moved from 10000 Islands for a long while, and so have decided to call an end to this quest, which has become for me more of a chore than anything else.
Although I haven't got nearly as many results as I had hoped for, you can find below a list of my findings.
I had been in the process of revising my records, but as I have decided to end this, I may as well stick with the first draft.
Region - Favourite Soup
The East Pacific - Chicken Noodle
The North Pacific - Mushroom
The West Pacific - Tomato and Basil
The South Pacific - Chicken Noodle
The Pacific - Potato
10000 Islands - Chicken Noodle
The Rejected Realms - Baked Potato
Europe - Chicken Noodle
As you can see, the world's official favourite soup is now Chicken Noodle Soup, with four of the eight regions voting it to be their favourite.
If you have any queries about the results, please contact me at Novgorod peterhof or Felis silvestris grampia. I doubt I will be active on this account very much.
Thank you especially to the Coalition of longitude, who has been most wonderful in his support.
I encourage all nations to follow the glorious faith of Soupism!
My thanks also to The Solar System Scope, and to Traveling kawaii narwhals, for providing inspiration for the Quest.
Especial thanks to the Grand and Mighty Ancient Soup, for being the driving force behind the Quest.
Yours with Gratitude,
Soupinaspis

Kerlodia The Solar System Scope
After 5 hours of travelling, the first Kerlodi Rail train has pulled into Astrocity Train Station. Astrocity, capital of The Solar System Scope, also known in Kerlodi as Citaiti Dei Astros, is a common travel destination for Kerlodi, however the only way to get there is via car or coach, which is inefficient, expensive and also not eco-friendly. However, the new high-speed electric trains are efficient, quieter, smoother and much more eco-friendly and cheaper as well. After the Kerlodi Cross-border Express line opened yesterday, it shaved travel times from nearly 2 days of driving to just 5 hours, all with much more spacious and comfortable seating compared to a car or coach.
High Hopes
"It's a good prospect," said Steven Lakios, Chief Director of Kerlodi Rail. "This much more eco-friendly and cheaper option is still quite new, and we'll have to wait to see if it's commercially viable. However, our team here have high hopes for the Cross-Border Express, and believe it will be a good thing for Kerlodi and Astrofolk alike." Tickets for the entire Kerlodi Rail system start from 5 BSK or 2 Solar Systems. Both currencies are accepted throughout the system, although in Kerlodia, BSK is recommended.

Volaworand Kerlodia North prarie
Volaworand's Southern Transportation Corporation will launch its longest non-stop flight route with a plane that offers no economy class seating.
The airline will begin the ultra-long haul route on December 28 with the first flight taking off from Volaworand's Rothera Airport bound for Citaiti Dei Kerlodia International Airport in Kerlodia.
The flight will cover over 5000 nautical miles (9,700km) and take approximately 12 hours. The company will operate three weekly flights connecting its home terminal in Rothera to Citaiti Dei Kerlodia and Citaiti Dei Noctos in Kerlodia. These new non-stop routes will be in addition to the current 19 hour passenger/cargo flights on STC's aging Ilyushin IL-76TD, but have a stop in North prarie en route.
STC will fly the newly acquired Airbus A350-900ULR (for "Ultra Long Range") on the new routes. These aircraft are a major acquisition of STC at a reported cost of £1B for five of the A350-900ULR. The acquisition increases STC's fleet to 6 planes, and extends STC's operational range to all of the South Pacific region.
In a bold move, the plane flying the Kerlodia routes will only offer premium seating, with 67 business class and 94 premium economy class seats.
It represents a major expansion in the South Pacific market for Southern Transportation Corporation and a test of whether the carrier can charge the 20 per cent price premium that travel industry data shows is typical for ultra-long non-stop services due to their popularity with time-sensitive business travelers.
STC executive vice president of commercial Mak Swee Wah said there was existing demand for business class which he expected would continue to pick up.
For premium economy, however, he said some markets were not "entirely familiar" with the product, which offers more leg room and other amenities than a typical economy class.
"Since the passage of the Kerlodia-Volaworand Friendship and Cooperation Agreement we have seen a surge in demand for this route. I think we need to stimulate and encourage the market to consider this product, initially with very attractive pricing, but eventually I think people will see that what we offer it is a good product to purchase because it is a very long flight," he said at an analyst and media briefing.
Seats for the route will go on sale on today. Fares for the inaugural flight on the STC website were listed at £2161 one-way for premium economy and £5881 for business class.

The Official Hanguk-Nipponese History Textbook
The Administrative Offices-The Ministry of Education-The University of Hanguk-Nippon
Welcome to the 5th Official Government Hanguk-Nipponese History Textbook, sponsored by Hanguk-Nippon National University. This textbook is meant for all ages, natives, and foreigners!
The earliest record of the union between Joseon and Satake dates back to November 10th, 1440 with the Busan Union that bonded the Joseon Dynasty with the Satake Clan. The union was originally meant for defensive purposes and securing friendly neighbors. Joseon and the Satake Clan would defend each other and their interests at all costs. This eventually lead to even closer cooperation and the official merger of the two governments. The man who first suggested a united government was Yoshinobu Arasuki, an officer of the Satake Clan.
Soon enough, on January 3rd, the state of Satake-Joseon was born out of the Seoul Unification in which the Joseon Bureaucracy and army would be merged with the Satake Military and daimyō lordship. With this, a new dynasty formed, the appropriately named Satake-Joseon Dynasty. Now that the state of Satake-Joseon was an actual nation, it laid out its future goals. First, it decided to restore the former borders of Balhae and Goguryeo in Manchuria, this would become the Northern Campaigns (1443-1445). In 1443, the army quickly mobilized and moved over the border and into Manchu territory. Commander Yoshihiro Miyazaki was significant in these series of wars, as he was appointed as head commander and led the charge over Mt. Baekdu and into the Jurchen territory. Following the war in the Treaty of Chongjin, Joseon-Satake annexed large swaths of territory in Manchuria and were grated lordship over several Manchu banners by Qiqihar, Yichun, and Hinggan. These were quite rebellious tribes though, and the overlordship lasted only for 4 years until 1456.
The state decided to change its name to better reflect its goals, which it changed to Joseon-Yamato. Then in 1479, the Grand Reconquest began as the state had sent troops to occupy the Ryōdong Peninsula (Liaodong Peninsula) from the Ming Dynasty. This was not only a strategic and military victory, but a message to the Ming that they were no longer their acting suzerain. In 1480, Chinese troops dispatched from Beijing were sent over to the frontier. However, they were subsequently defeated in the Battle of Panjin, and the territory was officially annexed by Joseon-Yamato the following week.
By this time, Hanguk-Nippon had retaken the imperial capital of Kyōtō from the Ashikaga Shogunate, and thus claimed the title for themselves. The Satake Shogunate was formed in 1495. Soon, it would lead to the long period of integration, rebellions, and civil strife. The period known as the Unification Period (통일統一, Tongiltōitsu) began. It lasted from 1501 to 1562. In 1510, the period known as The Fifty Year Peace began through the Treaty of Seoul that layed out a new imperial government structure. The territories began to become more and more accustomed to Hanguk-Nipponese rule. Multiple new provinces were drawn up, and the ethnic homeland of the Buyeo People was restored to its former glory. In 1511, Taiwan was colonized by Hanguk-Nipponese people and was thus considered part of the empire.
Something unexpected occurred however, in 1512 the Ming Imperial Court imploded on itself due to warring internal factions and continuing disputes over new government leaders. This was a great opportunity for the empire, as it began The Invasion of Zhili Province. Hanguk-Nippon also managed to secure part of the Khingan Mountains by the Amur River in Manchuria. The Invasion of Northern Zhili Province went swiftly at first. Military Commander Seo Min-Setō lead the charge through the Shanhai Pass in the Great Wall of China. Once through, Ming troops ambushed them and they were forced to retreat. They however, occupied all the land North of the Great Wall in Northern Zhili. While this was going on, Emperor Miyamoto “the commander” ordered the Southern Fleet to navally invade the island of Hainam (Hainan). They had departed from Taiwan and swiftly landed and overran the island. On the way, they also dispatch a small army to take over Macau, which worked as well. However in the North, things were getting pushed back. Ming troops had finally broke the stalemate at the Great Wall, and they were pushed back to the border. They however, were halted by reinforcements from Northern Korea. At last, peace came in the Treaty of Beijing. Hanguk-Nippon would annex Hainam and Macau, the Maritime Boundaries System (from Hanguk-Nippon) would be recognized, and Hanguk-Nipponese settlers would be granted free movement to Hainam.
These newly acquired territories would become integral parts of the empire as for their strategic purposes. Internally, there was a clique that rose to power, the Kamakura Clique took over parts of the government which then lead to a purge of many officers. A second coalition of anti-government reformists then lead a protest outside of the Imperial Palaces both in Seoul and Kyōtō. In 1515, the peasants revolted along with a small clan which ultimately got crushed in several battles. They were then detained and executed. In 1517, The Hall of Worthies decreed a bill on weapons ownership that greatly strengthened the samurai. They then put the samurai under a separate branch of the army, however they were very watchful of them because samurai have a history of betraying others.
A map of Asia in 1570, just before Baowei Emperor Lin Zhong dies.In 1580, the Shen had unified Northern China. This provoked Hanguk-Nippon as it saw the Shen as force to be reckoned with, and thus forged an alliance with the Liang to the South. The following 20 years were years of great tension between the three. Finally in 1602, some Chinese pirates raided Haeju, Hanguk-Nippon. This provoked the war which is now known as The Imperial Intervention. Hanguk-Nipponese troops poured across the border into the Shen and quickly occupied everything up to the Great Wall. Once more, they tried to enter through Shanhai Pass. To their surprise, they weren’t ambushed, and continued to towards Beijing. This is because the Shen had pulled much of their troops away from their Northern Frontier, thinking that they would be the ones to invade the Liang. Soon, the armies were at the gates of Beijing. The Hanguk-Nipponese stormed the city taking books, art, gold, weapons, and aristocrats with them. Meanwhile in the South, things were brutal. The Liange had attempted to make several advances into Shen territory, all of which either failed or resulted in mass casualties on both sides. The front lines had barely moved. Wanting to get this over with, Emperor Gu-Dong Takizawa ordered a naval invasion of Shandong Province from Pyongyang. This went well at first, but the armies were halted once they had captured Qingdao. The Battle of Gaomi was a decisive Hanguk-Nipponese victory, because it secured Qingdao’s defense. Another thing of note is the establishment of the official Imperial Army on August 12, 1603. With this, the Imperial Army Advanced through the rest of the Shandong Peninsula to Jinan and Tai’an, which both fell on August 18th and 20th respectively. Both armies connected at the Mouth of the Yellow River, and established a new front line. The Imperial Army then marched to Shijiazhuang and met with the local forces in the Battle of Shijiazhuang. This was a stunning show of force by the Shen which forced the Hanguk-Nipponese to retreat. Though, the Shen Court was in disarray from an assassination attempt and the Xin Dynasty split from it. It would then side with Hanguk-Nippon and Liang against the Shen. Soon on January 2nd, 1604, The Shen forces surrendered at Changzhi, and the Treaty of Shimonoseki was settled upon. The Shen state would be dissolved, the Xin dynasty was to annex the Liang. Hanguk-Nippon would gain a sphere of influence in Zhili and Shandong, and the Maritime Boundary would be extended to the parts Chinese coast that were occupied by the Imperial Army.
In 1832, peasants rose up in revolt in Hamgyeong Province. They advocated for greater redistribution of land and democratic rights for the lower classes. Local Forces quickly quashed the rebellion, but this sparked the Democratic Wave throughout the rest of the century. Then in 1844, the Wang Dynasty was taken over by a coup and out rose the Feng Dynasty. The Feng were much less cooperative than the Wang, and in 1846, they invaded the Kingdom of Dai Viet Nam. The EAC was called for an emergency session in Ulsan. They quickly concluded that a joint invasion of the Feng was imminent. Soon in May of that year, EAC troops crossed the border into the Feng Dynasty. Mongolian forces moved to cut off North Manchuria from the rest of the Feng, which failed as they needed to regroup their troops near their Southern border by Inner Mongolia. Hanguk-Nippon sent several divisions and occupied Manchuria. Fortifications were built on Hainam, Taiwan, and the Ryūkyū to defend from naval invasions. The Feng tried to invade Taiwan, but failed due to the present defenses. In the West, The Feng annexed Tibet as they were a vassal state of the Wang before. Feng troops moved down across the border and into the Ryōdong Peninsula, and along the Korean coast on the Korea Bay. Hanguk-Nipponese forced quickly encircled them and squeezed them out of the home territory. The Feng happened to land troops Jeolla Province, they then formed a new front in the South. In 1846, both sides were getting tired from the war, and a temporary armistice was agreed upon as peace talks began. The fighting resumed at the beginning of 1847, now the Hanguk-Nipponese forced quickly dashed to Beijing and occupied he city. The occupation authorities declared it an open city, and a number of a Hanguk-Nipponese Divisions were stationed in the city. The city was sacked again and money, gold, books, bureaucrats, and nobles were all taken from the city.
Map of Asia after the Treaty of SindoIn 1854, The Feng invaded the Huang Confederation. But in 1857, they suffered a coup by the Shui Nobles. Hanguk-Nippon used this opportunity to create a buffer zone between the empire and Beijing. That year, Hanguk-Nippon invaded the collapsing Feng, and advanced towards Beijing. The puppet state of Manshūju also assisted the empire by invading to the South. But the Shui had other plans, they annexed Yunnan and began to invade Tibet, and in an incident staged by the Sui, merchant vessels were fired upon by Tonkinese gunmen. This gave them a casus beli (reason for war), and they began to invade Southeast Asia. Shui forces began to occupy the Northernmost regions of Tonkin and Laos, but they experinced several mutinies inland, and several local forces banded together against the Shui government. The local forces had occupied a region along the border with Tibet.
A map of The Shui Revolutionary Wars in 1859.Soon after the Treaty of Geoje in 1949, Hân and Burma fought several border conflicts regarding the Burmese-Occupied territory in former French Indochina. Hanguk-Nippon arbitrated the dispute in what was known as the Kisen (키仙) Award, which resulted in a condominium over the occupied territory between Burma and Hân. One notable figure was Satō Kisen (佐藤 키仙), which the Kisen Award earned its namesake. Then in 1954, a Soviet-Supported communist uprising occurred in the region Hân-Occupied Cambodia. The rebels claimed themselves to be "The Liberators of Cochinchina", and aimed to restore the Cochinchinese state. Hân forces were quick to respond, but the rebels used guerrilla tactics and hid in the jungle, and began to occupy more and more of Cambodia. Hanguk-Nippon them got concerned that the rebellion would spill over and sent volunteer forces to assist the Hân, which failed to route down the communists. After sporratic fighting in the jungle, the Treaty of Battambang was signed and the Kampuchean Soviet State was created in 1956. With the looming threat of communism, the states of the CSP, Great Britain, France, and the United States convened and decided on a general military doctrine against communist threats. Soon in 1960, there was a communist rebellion in Vietnam and the Annam State, both claimed to be "the reformers of Dai Nam". The rebels were ousted out from Vietnam, but they succeeded in capturing the Southern portion of Annam. They proclaimed the People's Republic of Dai Nam in 1963, and began to solidify their position. The Annam State still claimed hegemony over the Southern territories, but they did not control these lands. Finally in 1967, after 7 years of brutal fighting, the Treaty of Saigon was signed and the communists had succeeded in controlling Southern Annam. Immediately after the war, Hanguk-Nippon and China agreed on a plain to merge Vietnam and Annam into a new free republic. They created the Free Republic of Dai Viet Nam on November 16th of that year. At around the same time, the Provisional Government of Borneo was reformed and turned into the Republic of Borneo. On January 23rd, 1968, Hân Occupation in Malaya ended and the Malay State was created. Shortly after in February, China began to experience a political divide between the Federalists and the Unitarians. Hanguk-Nippon on behalf of the CSP, began to support the Federalist and supported increased autonomy in Mongolia, Xinjiang, Tibet, Yunnan, and Nanning. The Soviets took advantage of this and launched an invasion in 1969. This resulted in a large-scale war between the USSR and the CSP. Hanguk-Nippon was quick to pacify the situation in China and redirect all of the efforts against the Soviet Union. The Kampuchean Soviet State and Dai Nam were quick to fall and were reestablished as the Khmer Republic and the Saigon Free State. In the North, the Soviets were pushed back to the border, but no further advances were made. This lead to the Treaty of Ulaanbaatar, which officially established the Khmer Republic and the Saigon Free State, and a truce between the CSP and the USSR. However, Hanguk-Nippon did annex their claimed territory in Siberia. In 1971, Hanguk-Nippon assisted the Republic of Borneo through their financial crisis, and civil war between the government, Bruneian League, Bornean State, and the Bornean Democratic People's Republic. In 1975, Hanguk-Nippon mediated the Islands Deal between Indonesia, Borneo, Brunei, and Papua New Guinea that stated that Indonesia was to cede the rest of New Guinea in exchange for Borneo, while brunei would get their independence. In 1977, the Organization of Aligned States (OAS) was formed between Hanguk-Nippon, Manshūju, China, Dai Viet Nam, the Federation of the Philippines, Nauru, Samoa, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, and Hân. Later in 1980, Burma, Saigon, the Khmer Republic, and Bangladesh join OAS. Lastly in 1986, Australia, New Zealand, Malaya, Indonesia, Brunei, Kiribati, Tuvalu, Vanuatu, the Solomon Islands, and Timor Leste joined OAS.
In 1983, the Solomon Islands was annexed by Hanguk-Nippon through the Numazu Agreement. Then in 1985, Hanguk-Nippon and the USSR signed a non-aggression pact at Harubin. But in 1989, the Soviet-Hanguk-Nipponese Okhotsk Fishing Conflicts began as sea zones overlapped with EEZs. In 1990, Hanguk-Nippon was continuing to go through its major economic boom and when the Soviet Union collapsed, the boom only became stronger. At around this time, Hanguk-Nipponese products were being marketed on a truly global scale. In 1996, Mongolia held their independence referendums and won, and Hanguk-Nippon was the first nation to establish official relations with them and would become an important trade partner in the future. In 1999, Hanguk-Nippon, Manshūju, and Mongolia signed multiple trade treaties known as the Nahotoka (나ホト카) Treaties. This fostered a special friendship between Hanguk-Nippon and Mongolia as it once again reaffirmed their long-time historical alliance. In 2002, Hanguk-Nippon faced an economic recession, but was thankfully able to recover from that fairly quickly. However another crisis was to hit in 2008-2009, this time for the entirety of the world. Hanguk-Nippon was only slightly affected by this one, though. In 2010, Borneo once again regained their independence from Indonesia by referendum. The state experienced another economic boom from 2011-present. This rise has also brought up the economies of nations such as China, Hân, Dai Viet Nam, Mongolia, and Indonesia.
Fred found a storefront window, filled with nutcrackers and trees and ornaments. "What's this?["/i] he asked, jumping on the sill. Inside the store was a TV playing a Christmas Movie. In the playing scene, a family decorated a tall Christmas Tree. The mother lifted the small child, so he could place the star on the evergreen.
Fred saw this, and he knew the Christmas tree brought the family together. [i]"What if I found a tree?" he pondered, moving his tail playfully.
"What if I got inside a tree... maybe I could find a home!"
So he jumped down, and into the street and into the nearest woods. He ran through the woods, and found a tree farm. Fred watched the grand trees stand in the ground. "Now which tree do I climb in..." he meowed, running between all of them.
"I'll see which tree I like best. he chirped searching for the most grandiose evergreen there. He found a huge tree, about 12 feet tall. It went inside, and found it was too stiff. Fred climbed out and found a smaller tree.
This tree was about 8 feet tall. This one was too cold.
He came out and found a 5 feet tall tree. This one looked ugly on the outside. Should I go here...?" Fred asked himself, going in the tree.
This tree felt comfy, and warm, and just the right size. "This tree is great!" Fred awed, rolling around in thr branches. That moment the tree started to move. "What's happening?!" he meowed, holding on the branches with all his might. The tree was moved to a dark cave. It was loud and bumpy as the cave seemed to drive off. Fred was too scared to move.
An hour later, the cave opened up. Fred almost fell, but he held on with his life. The tree was moved to another cave, but Fred knew this was a small house. "Yes!" he shouted. "I can finally have a home!--". He fell out of the tree, and into pavement. A married couple looked at each other. "It's a cat..." one of them said. "You take the tree in, and I'll take care of him." Another one said, picking up the little Fred.
They took him inside, where he was cleaned, fed, given milk, and sat near a fireplace. This was what Fred had wanted all along; and he got it.

A map of Hanguk-NipponAuri carried a basket of a jar of natural oils and a moss towel. Our wolf pranced over to his pond, and put down his basket. He cannonballed into his bath and started cheering.
"I finally can relax here." He told himself, with a sleepy tone. He sat and splashed with his feet. Splish
Splash. He dove head first into the body of water, until he became completely soaked. He splashed and cheered, but was too busy to say much.
"This is amazing. I love relaxing here." He said rising out of the water. He swam over to his basket and got the jar of oil. "Now to style..." he said. He shook the water off his head, pouring the light-weight oil onto his paws. The then spreaded it to his hair. He smoothed down his black fur, and he made his hair shiny and oily.
He bounced out onto the grass. Auri shook his coat, hereby knocking off the access water. Now he worked on the rest of his coat. Our wolf covered the rest of his black fur.
He cautiously strolled into his little burrow, to find his brush. He found it in the corner of the room, then put it in his mouth. Auri got his moss towel and laid it underneath a bright sun patch. He now jumped into the pond to wash the oil off.
"What'll I do after this?" He pondered, splashing around. "I'll dry off... then I'll go back home." He turned to his back. "My life is boring..." he trailed off again. "... but I get everything done." He finally finished. Auri washed everything from his fur. "What could Cae and I do that's fun?" He pondered, as he shook. His voice bounced.
Auri sauntered to his previously sat down towel, and started to brush his fur. His fur after that, was left in a sleek and shiny, put together look. He sat in his favorite spot, and relaxed.
Right now, Auri actually fell asleep. He laid on his stomach and passed out.
He was sound asleep, when an averagely but boldly shaped man snuck around the corner. He wore a black suit, much like the hunter from before.
This man barely avoided the small twigs and leaves. His foot hit a few of them, and Auri's ears began to twitch.
The man was alarmed, but he quietly walked down the path and away from the hideout. He made it to the other side, and left Auri to sleep.

Angebetet Beepee Northern Beepee Kerlodia Kerlodia puppet 3
Unbeknownst to Beepee, the tiny, insignificant nation of Angebetet declared war on Beepee by continually attacking the sovereignty of Northern Beepee
The peaceful and congenial bureaucracy of Beepee was stirred from its pacifist existence and ordered Northern Beepee to attack and destroy Angebetet.
It's expected that the war will be short and ultimately successful.
Here is an image from the Northern Beepee-Angebetet battle. (From Northern Beepee's side.):

It was created of the unyielding hatred of an ancient Stalniter king, who attempted to use the Fountain of Youth while an abyssal evil tainted his heart. The Fountain of Youth was corrupted and turned him into the beast. Yet, in that ancient day, it was of a more moderate size. Before he could make good on his dreams of eternal reign, invincibility, and boundless sovereignty, he was slain by the Hero King Axel, the one who unearthed the blade of light Clarico.
Yet the body of this dragon did not perish. Though the light shattered its soul, the boundless hatred and envy of its vessel halted decomposition. Many attempted to harness this infinitely dark power, but many failed. The great dark wizard, Umbrus, was the most well known of those who tried, and drew the closest until he was slain by Lumiere's father.

Lycanthrupia is a small island near the coast of the Arctic, as such we have customs and laws that may seem curious to foreigners. We ask that foreigners take this policy very seriously.
- No one is to travel outside of their home after dark.
There are no street lights and all businesses close after dark.
- There are to be no objects of foreign religions to be brought upon Lycanthrupia soil. This is our religious custom.
- No silver, in any form can be brought here
This includes jewelry, utensils, trinkets, knives, everything. Absolutely no silver on the island, this is our religious custom.
- The practise of keeping small animal pets is frowned upon. The fox population thrive here and having unattended pets could lead to the loss of such pets.
- Do not litter, do not pollute, do not poison. We keep the snow mountains and hills that are our nation clean and the killing of animals while permitted cannot be done with poison.
- Absolutely no one can kill an arctic fox, this is the most grave offence in Lycanthrupia and is punishable by hanging.

Lumiere is the King of the Stalniters. He studies the blade and his best friend is Fonce. He descends from the Hero King of Stalnite, the one who slew the Great Dragon. He is a benevolent monarch, loved by his people, though he dabbles in era-typical feudalism, absolutism, and warmongering. He lacks a regent though frequently abandons his post -- leaving a council in charge -- to embark on adventures, exploration, and the occasional war or two and even a proper religious crusade. He is considered a warrior king of sorts and runs Stalnite more like a tool for funding adventures (similarly to Richard the Lionheart), though this is a bad habit picked up from his predecessors.
He wields the legendary Blade of Light, Clarico, which grants him extraordinary light-element power on top of his prodigious swordsmanship and unnatural physical ability.

5'3" - 110 lbs | 160 cm - 50 kg
Fonce is a Stalniter noble. He is a prodigy in the mage arts and specializes in dark elements, and is King Lumiere's best friend. He is the son of the late dark wizard Umbrus and the vessel of the Great Dark Dragon. Born to revive said dragon, he reluctantly accompanied Lumiere on his quest to find the Clarico as a double agent, working in tandem with the Violet Witch and other dark parties to sabotage finding the blade as well as preparing for the Dark Dragon's revival. His bonds with Lumiere made it an emotionally taxing task and at times even occasionally threw his own wrench into the plan. At one point, the spirit of his father actually assisted in fighting off an aggressive Paladin of Light. Fonce had an emotional breakdown as he finally performed the ritual to revive the dragon.
In his dragon form, Fonce mindlessly began to trample the Earth beneath him and spewed his dark magic breath everywhere. His eye beam razed and obliterated cities. Many perished, though Lumiere found the Clarico and awakened its full power to strike Fonce down. The dark mage found his peace and, once again with the remorseful spirit of his father, sealed the Dark Dragon away for eternity. The forgiveness of Lumiere and the adventuring party warmed his heart, though the guilt from his draconic rampage set him up for a existential crisis in the future.
He is a bit of a snob and thinks of himself higher than commoners. He is a feudalist. On a personal level, he doesn't care what sort of government heads things as long as there's a powerful landed elite, though favors monarchism (since he's literally the Crown Prince's best friend)

As ISSUES in there lack of options I need, I'm going to emphasize my answers here

I feel burnt out (already) about this story thing I'm doing. I've decided to change how often I make a chapter.
I propose this:
1. I release a chapter once a week (maybe on mondays...)
2. I don't write anymore until everything is edited. (Every single chapter, sentence, and line)
3. I update the Chapters list every time I finally feel the chapter is good.
Here's why!
I often would feel as if I rushed myself to create this story. I don't want to do this anymore; I wanted before, to write a chapter everyday. I think you can stare the problem in the face. Think about every job and duty I am given. Imagime fighting to do everyone of those, write this crazy story, and then sleep so I can do it again.
Dat's harrrd.
I'm changing it up; I'm going to write a chapter once a week. I am also going to start completely over in this story. It's rough. My characters have absolutely no personality, the pace, mystery, voice, all of it...
BAD! It's worse than bad! It's terrible!
I need to make a better outline, perhaps a synopsis, (those work better than an outline for me) then try again. I might delete the other ones, or I may keep them. I also have the possibility of keeping them up and making a Version 2. (I perhaps would give it a different name)
I have readers now...
I can't quite take that in yet; it's a big concept. With my beginner storywriting, self taught, (you can only teach yourself what you can wrap around your own head) and lack of characterization in my precious little characters, I don't get how someone could wait for my inpulsive release.
I have this idea that's too hard to get out into words. I know this could work out as a story, but I'll need a better voice, tone, and ability to write a turning plot.
I'm getting better... I would say.
I also feel like I should write longer chapters. The average dispatch is not 25 paragraphs or ~10 pages long; but 25 paragraphs together make a good sized chapter.
I'm changing the aglorithm:
Longer chapters
Less often releases
Many many edits
Also more short stories...
That's it.
Love,
Eastie

That is my story today. 15 was SO bad, I deleted it. I will rewrite it, and write a better one later. Also, I will edit and fix the other chapters. (I haven't done that yet :( )
Yeah. Tell your self, "Beep Boop", and wait for me to fix all the chapters.
Beep boop,
Eastie
(PS: please don't tg or quote me about chapter 15. I know how terrible it was; and I don't need to be reminded.)
(PS: I might stop releasing new chapters to fix the story so far. Sorry.)

"Should we leave, or eat this tortured animal?" Caelum asked, tilting his head. We could go, but that would be very rude." Cae told him, picking up the chicken again to look at it.
"The polite thing to do would be to eat it and suffer, and then leave." He said, turning the chicken around and turning his head to look at it.
"Doing that would be the right thing." Auri said, taking a bite of the chicken and cringing. So that was what they did for ten minutes; they swished water in their mouths, then they hoffed down the chicken, trying their best to look normal.
"Are you done now?" Cae asked, who was sitting impatiently, wishing so much to go. "I'm done." Auri said, putting the last bone down. "Let's go." They stood to their paws and went to pay. "Hello," said the white, scratchless wolf. "Did you enjoy your food?"
"We did like it." Said Auri; Caelum was getting ready to pay. "It was good." The white wolf's face knew he was lying. It was almost as if he was telling himself, "The customer is always right. The customer is always right."
"That's great. Well that'll be 29 acorns." He said to Cae. Cae had gathered the money, and he paid. "Thank you." The white wolf said.
They went to the door, and the wolf said the normal, "have a nice day" line.
***
Cae and Auri went their way back home; on their way they talked. "Well that place was a flop." Said Caelum, walked into their cave's entrance as Auri followed.
Inside was a wreck, considering what had happened prior to this. There were boxes and the items inside spread along the oddly shaped floor; there were blankets, and dust, and all kinds of things on the floor. "Oh," Auri thought looking at the dust, dirt, boxes on the ground, and shedded hair. "Wanna fix this together?" He hoped he wouldn't be alone doing this again.
Caelum looked at him for a minute. "Of course. It's been a while since we've done anything like this together." He said, going to get a broom. "We'll do this together." He said handing Auri a rag and a bucket.
When Auri was a small pup, he was learning how to set up a shelf. He used that wall instead of a sturdy one; in short, what had happened was the shelf fell, and had brought down a chunk of the wall with it.
After they finished cleaning the house, Auri fell asleep, but Caelum went outside to watch the village wind down and to see the moon. And no, wolves do not worship the moon like media has influenced you to think they do. They use the moon as a compass and a way to turn human when they need to. When they don't have that, they use their reflection. That this time, was some exposition. Let's get back to our story.
Caelum sat outside by the window, so that he could watch Auri from the outside. He watched Stella and Saxum watch their cub play in their yard. Cae saw the fireflies become brighter as the sun left; the moon, stars, and small firefly jars, lit up the tiny village.
Caelum was talking to himself now. No he's not crazy. He was only saying his thoughts outloud, so he could hear someone's voice.
"I've seen a lot of things today." He said remembering that night. "I can't put it into words, actions, or pictures." He sighed. "
"I still am troubled, but I feel... better". Caelum smoothed down his brown fur and blinked. He looked through the improvised window to see his little wolf.
He was little in the sense that he wasn't as big as Caelum. In truth he was an older teenager. "I want to protect him from everything I can." He pulled his paws into the window sill, and looked at the obsure shaped floor plan.
There was a door, which faced some shelves and a small stone cabinet. To the right of that was a small corner. This was where Auri was. This was where they would sleep at night.
"I'll go to bed now. I haven't slept in a while." He said lightly limping in one leg inside. He closed and locked the door, and covered up the window. He got out the jar of fireflies and went to lay down.
He climbed out and crawled to get it. He made a call on his phone, which somehow managed to stay safe and keep wifi. "Fath-..... d.... a...." he sighed. "What is it, Son?!" He heard his pain over the line. "D... wol... hep... lak..." he passed out.
An hour later, an averagely shaped man in a black suit raced towards his injured son. He picked up his son in just a way to protect his back, and to keep him even.

Crystallized magic is formed in magic tempests where some of the magical energies inside condense into a solid, crystalline structure. Although it can be found all over the world. ColdWyvern and the Spell Scraped Peninsula is home to some of the largest deposits of such crystals
The crystal have varying effects or "phases" depending on how densely the magical energy is packed into the crystal. There are currently 24 phase, each named after a letter in the Belládae'ic alphabet. Almost all phases have a certain magic density at which its effects are most potent, with the how far away it is from the density being called its "purity". Magic crystals of all phase will eventually have its energy released back into the mage winds via on of two methods which depends on the phase. The first one called active consumption, is where the energy and effect of the crystal can only be released when the crystal is triggered to do so. The second known as passive consumption is where a crystal's energy is naturally released back into the mage wind and the effect of the crystal is ongoing until all energy has been released. Anti-magic has been shown to produce similar crystals but with the opposite effect for each phase.
The Current Phases and their effects are...
Alpha: The least dense phase, Alpha crystals are light blue crystals that exert a constant upward force and as such are most commonly found in and on the bottom of floating islands across the world. While it was originally thought to undergo passive consumption, it was later discovered to be an active consumer with the actual effect was the release of a large amount of force. It is currently used in the transportation industry as a fuel and in low-weight alloys

Omega:The densest phase , While originally thought though to be an active consumer, Omega Crystals are passive consumers that absorb magical energy around them which maintains their size. This energy is only released when it struck by a an extremely high concentration of excited magic, upon being struck the crystal will be shattered to nothing and all energy absorbed will be released as Anti-Magic, usually to devastating results. It is theorized that it is not so much of a phase, but rather a singularity of magic and that if one would to make a similar crystal out of Anti-Magic, it would have the same effect but produce normal magic when shattered

The decision to travel is your choice and you are responsible for your personal safety abroad. We take the safety and security of Volaworandians abroad very seriously and provide credible and timely information in our Travel Advice to enable you to make well-informed decisions regarding your travel abroad.
The content on this page is provided for information only. While we make every effort to give you correct information, it is provided on an "as is" basis without warranty of any kind, express or implied. The Government of Volaworand does not assume responsibility and will not be liable for any damages in connection to the information provided.
If you need consular assistance while abroad, we will make every effort to help you. However, there may be constraints that will limit the ability of the Government of Volaworand to provide services.
Safety and security
There is no resident Volaworandian government office in the country. The ability of Volaworandian officials to provide consular assistance is extremely limited.
Volaworandians in Iran-Somalia may be closely watched by Iran-Somalian authorities. Seemingly innocuous behaviors, such as the use of cameras in public places, travel beyond well-established tourist attractions or casual interactions with Iran-Somalian friends, may be misinterpreted and may lead to investigation. Volaworandians, particularly dual Volaworandian-Iran-Somalian citizens, may be arbitrarily questioned, arrested and detained. Volaworandian-Iran-Somalian dual citizens should carefully consider the risks of travelling to Iran-Somalia.
Two Regional Advisories are in effect within Iran Somolia
South-Central Somalia (Regional Advisory: SEVERE RISK - AVOID ALL TRAVEL)
The rule of law is virtually non-existent in the South-Central Somalia region of Iran-Somalia. Violent demonstrations, suicide bombings, attacks and military activity occur regularly. The current situation represents a very serious threat to travellers. Be aware that anti-South Pacific sentiment may at times be strong. Foreign travellers, including journalists, human rights activists and humanitarian workers, are at very high risk of kidnapping, murder and arrest without notice or apparent cause.Somaliland (a self-declared republic seeking independence) and Puntland (an administrative region in the northeast) have remained more stable than the south-central part of the country. Nonetheless, violent attacks on foreign targets have occurred in these regions. Inter-clan conflicts often erupt into fighting in the Sanaag and Sool regions of Somaliland along the border with Puntland. Tensions and violence in the south could spread to Somaliland and Puntland at any time.
The Government of Volaworand can’t provide consular assistance to you if you are in distress in Somalia.
Sistan-Baluchistan and border with Afghanistan (Regional Advisory: SEVERE RISK - AVOID ALL TRAVEL)
Sistan-Baluchistan, which borders Pakistan, is regularly affected by ethnic conflicts and there have been kidnappings of foreign tourists. Bandits in Iran-Somalia’s border areas with Afghanistan and Pakistan are usually involved in drug trafficking and use kidnap operations to secure the release of group members from prison. Terrorist attacks may also occur in this province.If you decide to travel overland to Pakistan and Afghanistan despite this warning, travel only on main roads and in organized groups, and avoid travel after dark.
Terrorism
There is a high threat of terrorism, particularly severe in south-central Somalia and Mogadishu. Attacks have targeted foreign interests, Iran-Somalian government establishments, military parades and religious sites and events. Attacks against government targets involving the use of heavy weapons are frequent, particularly in Mogadishu. Civilian casualties are not uncommon. Further attacks are likely.
Targets could include:
government buildings, including schools
places of worship
airports and other transportation hubs and networks
public areas such as tourist attractions, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, shopping centers, markets, hotels and other sites frequented by foreigners
High-profile events could also be targeted
Maintain a high level of personal security awareness at all times because the security situation could deteriorate rapidly and without notice.
Crime
Violent crime affects both Iran-Somalians and foreigners. Petty theft, such as purse snatching and burglary, occurs. Do not show signs of affluence. Ensure personal belongings, passports and travel documents are secure, and carry a photocopy of your passport’s identification page at all times.
Four-wheel-drive vehicles are often targeted by thieves.
Watch for fraudulent plainclothes police officers, who may ask to see foreign currency and passports. If you are approached, politely decline to cooperate but offer to go to the nearest police station.
Demonstrations
Political demonstrations and gatherings occur, and can become violent. People near demonstrations have been assaulted or killed. Incidents of political unrest may occur with little warning.
Avoid areas where demonstrations and large gatherings are taking place
Follow the instructions of local authorities
Monitor local media for information on ongoing demonstrations
Women's safety
Volaworandian and Volaworandian-Iran-Somalian women have been stranded in Iran-Somalia or mistreated by an Iran-Somalian husband or a male family member.
Women have been physically and verbally harassed. Women should avoid travel alone at all times and avoid travel after dark without a male escort.
Road safety
Road conditions are good in cities, and the highway system is relatively well developed. Hire cars with a driver familiar with local conditions as driving standards are poor. Driving at night can be dangerous; the streets are poorly lit and some motorists drive without using headlights. Motorists regularly ignore traffic lights, traffic signs and lane markers, and almost never yield to pedestrians at crosswalks.
In the event of a car accident, remain at the scene until authorities have made an official report.
Hire only official taxis from agencies or hotel-based companies, and always pre-negotiate the fare. Most taxis do not have meters, and foreigners are often overcharged.
Sidewalks on main roads in urban areas may be obstructed by cars. Sidewalks are rare in residential areas.
Rail travel
Trains are comfortable and punctual, but service is limited and slow.
Sea travel
Exercise caution if travelling by sea, including for recreational purposes, in the Persian Gulf, particularly around the disputed islands of Abu Musa and Tunbs. Iran-Somalia and the United Arab Emirates both claim sovereignty over the islands and the waters are patrolled by the military. Foreigners navigating Iran-Somalian waters have been arrested and detained.
Pirate attacks and armed robbery against ships occur in coastal waters in the Red Sea and the Pacific Ocean. Mariners should take appropriate security precautions.
Air travel
We do not make assessments on the compliance of foreign domestic airlines with international safety standards.
Mogadishu Aden Adde International Airport is often closed with little or no warning due to fighting.
Border closures
The province of Khuzestan borders Iraq and is regularly affected by ethnic conflicts. There have been a number of kidnappings of foreign tourists.
Iran-Somalia’s border with Iraq is usually closed. It can be opened on a case-by-case basis; however, to allow the passage of certain foreigners or to give refugees access to containment camps located on the Iranian side of the border.
The borders with Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan and Kenya are open only to citizens of those countries. Foreigners travelling in sensitive border areas (namely Azerbaijan, Baluchistan, Iraqi Kurdistan and Khuzestan) often attract the attention of local security forces, which can result in short periods of detention.
General safety information
Tourist facilities are not consistently available outside of larger cities. Electricity and water provisions are not assured. International telephone services and Internet access are limited to larger cities, where services are unreliable and subject to monitoring by the Iran-Somalia state.
Carry identification with you at all times. Leave a photocopy of your travel documents with a relative or a friend at home.

Recently, Greater swednlund has claimed all of the land within Brasilistan as it's own! It's peoples, the Brasilistani, have been given full citizenship and rights, but now also have to abide by Swednlundian law.
-Chancellor J "Blue Jay" Farwig
However; despite the issues of "Swednizing" the Brasilistani, many others, especially within State Industry, are seizing the opportunity to tap into the resource filled lands of Brasilistan.
-Chief John Raymond
On this day, December sixteenth of 2018, Greater swednlund has claimed it's first new piece of land since it's formation in the 14th Century, and with this new asset will come many new hurdles and trials for Greater swednlund to overcome. Make sure to purchase your subscription to the Capitol Benningrad Tribune to stay up to date with all Swednlundian news!
The Government was shocked at this revelation but picked themselves up, saying that they will move on. They have encouraged themselves to move on and hopes to excel in other ways.
They look forward to rejoining, though it may be one year before the barring is lifted.

The sakhalinsk empire Hanguk-Nippon Iran-somalia
(of the RP)
The Doomsday Clock, based off of the real-world one, is a visualization of how close the apocalypse is. Founded on 1 August 2028 by Novosti, it bases the clock's distance from midnight (apocalypse) by factoring in all geopolitical events, such as wars, natural disasters, and harmful technological breakthroughs.
All the images of the clock are either taken directly from the Wikipedia page or made by the following artists:
Date | Minutes to Midnight | Change (minutes) | Reason | |
1 August 2028 | 5 | --- | The clock was initially set at 5 minutes due to the Sea of Japan Incident and Hanguk-Nippon's 2028 Seoul Mall Bombings, both of which caused by the radical nation Iran-somalia, but was not set closer to midnight due to the peace offers The sakhalinsk empire made to Iran-Somalia as well as relative political stability elsewhere. |
|
7 September 2018 | 6 | +1 | The Ministry of Defence of the Sakhalinsk Empire, one of the main belligerents in the Sea of Japan Incident, lowers their DEFCON level to 3. They have also started planning peace talks with Iran-Somalia and strengthening diplomatic ties with Roswaesia. |
|
28 September 2028 | 4 | -2 | Iran-Somalia's missile threats return, eventually forcing Hokoan to make peace with them. Roswaesia and Hanguk-Nippon have also reacted to the threats' return. Unrelated political instability also arises - Hanguk-Nippon has recently abolished their monarchy, which may cause internal conflict, and a secret organization known as Saisei plotted (and failed) a coup against the government of the Sakhalinsk Empire. |
|
5 November 2028 | 3 | -1 | While the Iran-Somalian threat has been eliminated, North gwongpyeong's threats have further escalated world tension, especially with their ambitious plans of sinking the entirety of Seoul. |
|
26 December 2028 | 6 | +3 | The clock was moved back 3 minutes with the end of the Second Korean War and the return of stability to the Korean peninsula. Both the unification of United Europe-Eurasia and Deutschess reich's White Eagle Incident were stated as "alarming, but not necessarily threatening to world peace as a whole". |
|
25 February 2029 | 7 | +1 | The clock, delayed for a month and spilling over into the new year, was moved back 1 minute due to the end of the Chinese War for Independence (led by The united chinese republic), the unification of China, and the slow collapse of the Sakhalinsk Empire. |

"It's essential. If we intend to continue on our path to greatness, then we will need to improve our technology for both military and peaceful purposes." one official said.
The reforms will culminate in a new Science and Health ministry.
It's unclear what other nations will think of these forward-thinking views.
Let this be a lesson to all enemy nations that would oppose our ideals; we will not tolerate any means of force used against us to harm our people, infrastructure, government, or the ideals our State was built on.Greater swednlund will continue its fight against Brasilistan and any future nations that would wish to attack us.
- Commander Calvin Holland
After those three days were over, they finally breathed fresh air. "Finally!" Auri yelled, who was brushing his fur. "We're free! Now we- I can get hurt again!" A blonde wolf laughed when she heard him. "Be careful doing that!"
Auri laughed a little, but Caelum quietly watched. "We will." he said, bending his ears playfully. Caelum and Auri incautiously ambered down the tree grounds ,and they raced near the river. They made it to the opening behind the bush to stalk the humans, but there were already wolf guards in their spots.
One of the two guards raised up and snuck away from the bush when he heard them come. "We heard that you two were injured, and we took over for you." He said.
His fur was darker than Auri's; And he had bright blue eyes. He was taller than the average male wolf, and had a scar on his paw.
"I see you're better, Caelum." The warrior told the silenced wolf. "And those scars, we all have our scars. Wasn't it a hunter? If you want to tell me." Cae wanted to talk. He talked with his paws.
"It was a hunter. It was mainly me escaping that gave me those scars." He said, who smiling for once. Auri listened closely, "What happened?' he screamed in his head.
"Well you two could take over, or you could relax and be free for the day." The gaurd said, who was turning to his collegue. "We might need a break from all the excitment." Caelum said, not wanting to leave the conversation because of how they related. "Alright then," the warrior said, working his way back to the bush. "You two take a break."
So the groups left each other; the guards continued watching and our wolves continued walking. "What do you want to do, Auri?" Caelum asked his little student. "We could go eat somewhere." Auri said, looking from Caelumn to the ground.
"We'll do that." His Cae said. "I have money in my bag." Auri saw the bag he had because his Cae mentioned it. "Where do you want to eat?" Caelum asked, adding prices in his head. "I don't know; I'll be fine with what you choose." He couldn't decide. "There's a new one by the cave we could go visit." He thought. "We can do that."
***
They leisurely strolled to the new restauraunt. "Sydney Stalegrabs' Kitchen ?" Auri read the sign to the large cave. The place had a plank of wood for a sign. It looked so modern; it couldn't match the theme of the village. "I sense a problem here. This is a wrong change." Caelum said. "It is strange." Auri said. They walked into the wierd tavern.
They were immedietly greeted by a waitor, instead of sitting down before they were asked anything. "Welcome to Sydney's." He said. "Table for two?" He was a white-furred wolf with orange eyes and no scars. He was alarming, for most wolves have scars from their life. Wolves in this society are encouraged to get into trouble. He asked leading them to a small square table, instead of a large round table. "Here are the menus. Take your time." He said standing by the strange table.
"We need some more time..." Caelum said, being grossed out by the menu. She walked off, leaving them to decide. "Auri, this is wierd." Cae said, trying not to sound rude. "Wolves can't live off this. This isn't unhealthy, it's just..." he paused and read out the menu. "Avacado toast? Fried chicken, so many salads..." he cringed. "Maybe it's just different to you; you hate change." Auri said, reading the menu. "Yes, but this is nothing that would benefit me." Caelum said, putting down the menu.
"I'll order for you." Auri told his Cae. "We'll get this fried chicken. It's chicken." "That'll work." Cae slumped. "Water?" Auri asked. "Sure, we'll get fried chicken and water; they can't change the water. It all is from the river."
The waitor returned. "Have you decided yet?" he asked, Cae put his head back up and put on a face. "Yes. We'll have the fried chicken and water." Auri said energetically. "Okay, then." He replied, writing it all down. "It'll be here soon." He said walking away.
"This is like a human restaurant." Cae said looking at the scenery and food. "This lacks Southern Tribe culture." "It's fine, Cae; this restaurant looks different, yes. But it has its own culture." Auri tried to make him feel better. Then the food came. "Here ya go." Said the waitor. "Thank you." Said Auri, helping by putting the plates of chicken in their spots. The waitor walked off. "Well that was too quick." Skeptic Cae said, looking at the greasy mess. "What happened to spending time in the kitchen making food?"

He was then rushed to the nearby Royal Hospital, with an armed escort. The Lord Inferno and Lord High Admiral have been notified, and an announcement from the Lord Inferno is expected in due course.
The Silvestran Police are urging for any witnesses, or anyone who believes they know the identity of the gunner, to come forward.
The Margaidh Éisg will be closed until further notice, while the Police investigation takes place.
The case is being treated as attempted murder.
However, there are no signs that this was an act of terrorism.
The General's condition is unknown.
And so it was that in the 18th century a group called Sanfedisti, of similar ideals to the Ambrosians, composed the melody, known locally as the Carmagnola.
With allowance of its composer and his wishes of good health and fortune; he granted Aurea Ambrosiana its use.
The text and name was slightly changed, and translated to the local tongue.
So came into existence the Ambrosian Anthem.
The police have investigated and found the culprit, who turned out to be Man Farall, 35, a notorious murderer and thief, that was trying to 'eliminate all witnesses to the crime'. After robbing the apartment block, he tried to rid of the chickens by throwing them down the building.
Farall has plead guilty to several charges, which are theft, murder, animal cruelty and killer litter. He is to be imprisoned for 10 years and fined $200000 as well. On somehow managing to catch Farall, Mr Smitherssen says, "I'm happy that such a man who murders and enjoys killing animals is put to justice, and I hope he learns his lesson," as he salts his chicken wings thoroughly and readies his table.

The gardener was at work watering his garden. He lived a loney life; he forced himself into solitary hermitism. This gardener didn't love it, per se; but he did tolerate it.
He took care of his nine white lillies. They each had their own spot in the flowerbed near the porch, where they got more than enough sunlight. The gardener would go outside five to six times a day, watering the soil, checking to see if the soil was drowned or dry, and every other task a gardener had.
The anonymous ground-tender, due to a moral delima, watched those plants like a hawk; for he knew their stories. They lived outside, where they could breathe in all the oxygen and sunlight that they wanted. His most priced possession, although lived inside the house.
It sat in a large fern pot. It lived in front of the biggest open window in the house. This flower knew it too. She also knew the plagueful curse she spread unto five people. We all have our guilt in life. The indoor lily knew the other plants had a free life, with the wind in their leaves, and the free unfiltered oxygen in their stems. She personally chose to keep herself locked inside a house; she didn't want anyone to get hurt again.
The gardener unlocked his door to, for the seventh time today, check on his precious lillies. He made sure to give the flowers enough water to last them a few days. He unfortunately had to snip off a small collection of wilted leaves. He actually gave each of his lillies a kiss, then went his way back into his house.
An odd habit he would do is talk to the flowers. His neighborhood was busy, which would be very dangerous for the flower curse. People thought he was crazy because of it. He would pet the flowers, and talk to them like they were his own children. But he knew what he did was the right thing to do; if he stopped tending to those flowers, ten living people would stop living.
The Beginning:
Strange occurances hit the family's household. Dishes would fly out of cabinets, doors would swing open and shut all night long, and dashing footsteps ran on the creaky floors.
Sometimes voices could be heard throughout the night and day. And to pit the icing on the cake, a drill noise rushed when the sun went down. Nine o'clock to five in the morning, an infernal drill buzz sounded.
It got too out of hand. The Husband and Wife were days away from moving. The Wife decided to consul with a witch, to remove the spirit. "Now, Stella." The Wiccin said. "I will help you, but I need ingredients. I can't show my face in public, so I will need you."
The witch handed Stella a long list of strange and terrifying ingredients. She held back tears. "Okay..." she said hesitantly.
You’re a good writer, and good writers should pick and choose which critisms they listen to and which ones to ignore.
“We're in an atmospheric breakfast diner around noon, full of bustling men, women, and children.”
Atmospheric is odd, if you want something to be atmospheric describe how. The ordering is something, it might be improved like this: The small rise of music adorns the clatter of silverware and murmurs of the diner’s lunch rush.
“There are two men sitting together, and they look around the same age”
Two men around the same age sit together. Description should follow or proceed introduction.
[general comment about thing]
You’re sentences are starting to sound German. Vary them in length, have some long and some short, from your starting writing:
“We're in an atmospheric breakfast diner around noon, full of bustling men, women, and children. There are two men sitting together, and they look around the same age. The first one has black ruffled hair and pale skin. He’s wearing some good quality clothes, but you can see they're cheap. The other man has more brown hair, green eyes, and tanner skin than the first man.This guy has more fashionable clothes.
See how at the end, when you are describing the two, they fall into a German dudududu pattern? Best way to solves this is just to have the descriptions of the character combine into one sentence.
[/general comment about thing]
“you”
I’d avoid second person because my Journalism friends would whip me if I didn’t vocalize my disagreement with it. (Because you’re essentially creating the reader as a character which may or may not be true depending how much of a traditionalist you give).
“He looks like he knows himself well.“
Fair enough. Cool line, could be ambiguous.
“They are talking indistinctivly”
Don’t invent new words unless you really really want to. They’re gossiping/mindless chatter/speaking without purpose/etc.
“so let's move on.”
You don’t have to tell me, you’re the one writing the story. Instead, just have a paragraph marking a change in characters/setting/time, we’ll know what’s happening, you don’t have to tell us.
“They look stable.”
Most people do, when you say something the audience will assume they’ll usually think you’re lying to them, so if that’s what you’re going for, yay! If not, boo.
“and he looks about 7ish”
You’re their God, unless you want to be an unreliable narrator, say he is 7.1
“But according to their body language, it's something not so good.“
Paint me a word picture, how are their body language communicating the badness of their argument.
“They are fashionally dressed, and the girls have already figured out the world of makeup. The boy looks strong too!“
How does the boy looking strong relate (too) to the girl’s make up?
“He looks as if he were a football player.”
He’s wearing a jersey with the school’s beaver catching a football. Describe don’t prescribe.
[sub]1[/sup]
“In the very corner of the diner is a boy with a book. He looks like he doesn't want to be talked to. He's reading what looks like a history book? I can't tell what he's reading.”
Just to clarify: the above quote is a character’s perspective, however the “7ish” year-old boy is more narrator voiced. Yes, you can have both, and yes writers think it’s annoying that you can have both.
“There are employees in the back making and working the register“
Are they actually making a register? Don’t use blank and blank is what’s happening unless you have an essay with a word/page requirement because writing blanks and blanks is padding.
“That was a lot of exposition; it was a lot. But now we can get to the good stuff. Let's eavesdrop into these guys' conversation.“
Two things, firstly what you did was not exposition it was description. And secondly,
I’m not a fan of the meandering, from place to place, steadily on description of something or someone, because it acts like this sentence in how it has no end nor purpose and it just kinda is and ends unremarkably.
On a serious note, I do use the snapshots (what you’re doing) in book essays because they’re kinda essay and lazy. It’s sorta the first thing which pops into your mind like putting your characters in a blank/black room, and should be avoid by how low effort it usually is to come up with the idea.
Oh! Also also, you give less of a snapshot and more of a gendering of people? Like saying there’s a man and a woman over there, and there’s two men over there, but with tiny descriptors to each of them. Describe action and don’t get into a pattern with simply naming genders and relationships.
I guess you can hide things in those type of descriptions, but they need to go unstated, like one woman was eating a pickle, dadada put something here. Her friend’s food came with a side of pickles (ie, don’t state specifically that one doesn’t like pickles and the other’s taking them from her, but have it be there).
“You need to go to the bathroom to fix it." The brown haired man said.”
No tag should be without what it’s tagging. Fix it,” the brown haired man said. (question marks are fine, also quotes should have their own section like this:
“Hi,” he said.
“No! Don’t?” Was the reply.
“He suddenly switched languages into a strange unheard one.”
Eeeh, maybe. I’d rather you describe it. His fluent English transitioned into a harsh and crackled language with yelps and growls unknown to any tongue.
“So Auri walked into the bathroom and brushed out his hair.”
This should be it’s own paragraph. Paragraphs go at the end of a transition between people, place, things, speakers, narrators, okay so people just like new paragraphs and change scares them.
“Auri made his way out so he could keep a low profile.”
Describe how: ducking, covering, prancing, anything.
[tangent]
You put so much effort into describing little scenes, but so little indescrjbkmg...
That was meant to be time describing your main character, but I think I’m having a stroke and my hand is cramping from all this phone writing so yeah.
You’re a good writer, keep up the good work, don’t be afraid of long sentences, and happy holidays!

It's me, Eno(yes my name IS Eno), and i'm here to say a few words of gratitude. First and most important to me, is how great you've been as a mentor, not only to me, but to the whole TSP community.I appreciate the floofs and the support you've given each and every one of us when we feel down, or just need a little hug to keep going in life. I know that I'm not too active in the RMB, only checking in every once in a while. But when i see you help a TSPer out, it makes the deep dark and very cold depths of my heart warm up just a bit. Secondly, I would like to say, that although i am a neko, and i act like one, i'm not a furry and will never be one. I've known that people who have animal personas, like me and you will get messages attacking us for being a 'furry'. As long as we stay steadfast in face of this issue, and persevere through, we can always get through just fine. Thanks for helping me know that. And finally, I'd like to end this message with a closing quote:
"Life is a gift. Wake up everyday and realise that."

A map of the designated security areasIn another corner we have some injured cubs. It seems they jumped out of trees and hurt themselves. Children these days; one day they're combing each other's fur, another they're pushing everyone out of trees.
We pick up our main characters conversation.
"What happened?" Auri concerned. Cae closed his eyes and paused. He let out a big sigh. He finally spoke, "Many things happened. I experienced many things. I do not want to speak in accessive detail; I'll only give you the most watered down version I can find." "You're very wordy." Auri noticed.
"Well," he thought. "I was..." he paused again. "It'll be better if I wrote it or drew it."
Auri found an empty piece of paper and something to write with. He gave it to his Cae. "Give a second; this could take a while." Cae told him, as he started to write.
***
"I looked around town for sporting goods store. I couldn't find any, so i asked this street performer. I waited for him to finish juggling ten bowling pins. When he finally had stopped, I asked him how to get to the store.
"He led me passed the store, and to these apartments; I was terrified. I had to face the delima of either running away and getting caught again, or staying in hopes of being free later. I knew in my heart I wouldn't make it. I seriously thought you would lose me.
"I had to go inside the apartment. This performer, he showed me these weapons. He showed me stakes and crossbows and knives. I knew at this moment, he was a hunter. "But a hunter of what?" Was the question here. He told me he was a hunter, and his father was too.
"This monster hunter, who I found out was a vampire hunter, instead of a werewolf hunter. Thank goodness...
"He saw my moon crystal, and he knew. But fortunately he thought I was a vampire making fun of werewolves. He decided to pull me to the moonlight and tear the crystal right off me. I... (The writing smudged.)
"I turned back into a wolf. He then took me and locked me in a closet. He waited for his father to come to the apartment."
***
"I practically destroyed that door. I demanded he let me out. Then he started throwing things at the door. I screamed, so the neighbors would come interfere.
"Finally this mystery man came to the front door. He came with every tool. He slammed the door open, and before I knew it, I was in a muzzle.
"Do me a favor, and keep another form of attack on you, other than your teeth or claws. They do you no good if you lose them.
"Anyway, the father took a-" the words abruptly stopped." "I think I blocked that part out of my head." He told Auri. "Ha... ha... hahahaha!!" He cackled. "I think the neighbors knocked on the door. Maybe it happened, and maybe it didn't!" He looked broken.
Auri stood to his feet and gave Cae a big hug. "You don't have to tell me." He said, wrapping his furry black arms around his brown neck. Cae joined in the hug and instantly felt better.
Aww... isn't that sweet. We have a little adopted son and a father. Both are broken, but they are together now. That's precious, and they'll soon get back on their feet.
The new story will be The Cautionary Tale of The White Lady Lily. It's very wordy, but it goes together. It will be about this girl who basically gets lost in the woods. She finds a town and puts off finding her way back home. She passes by a garden which, she likes very much.
It's a work in progress, but it'll be out there eventually.
Love ya,
Eastie
This has taken many chapters. My original plan was for this to be dramatic moment with this build up. I don't think that happened. So chapters 10 and 11 will resolve this and pick back up on the story. Sorry for the slow pace. Now let's begin!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Okay," Auri said, frantically searching for answers. "Have you seen a man here. His name is Caelum." He would ask. "Have you seen my friend? He has brown hair, dark skin, and green eyes. He's about 5'11." He would demand. "Have you seen Caelum?!" He would yell. No one knew anything about him. "You should file a missing persons report. People can help then. I'm sorry." People would say. "No, I haven't. I'm sorry." They would apologize and apologize when they didn't do anything.
"Cae- Caelum..." he moaned. "Where are you? Are you lost? Are you okay?" He lost it. His eyes were dialated, his hands were cold. His fangs were showing. He fled the scene and gave up. He went back home.
"Caelum. He's gone." He said numbly. His face said it all; it said, "I am utterly panicked. I have lost my sanity looking for my only gaurdian. He's gone forever." And that was what he meant. Auri turned back and made it to the village. "Why even bother? He's not at home. He's gone." He rolled over onto his back. "I'm alone again. I'm by myself again." He turned onto his stomach and laid there. "I'll just stay here." He told himself.
He watched the clouds roll and the wolves work. He did not care whatsoever. He fiddled with the grass and put his head down. Saxum helped Cae to a doctor. His wife, Stella, followed. She noticed Auri lying on the ground. "Saxum?" She said, getting her husband's attention. "Auri's on the ground over there." He looked at him. "So he is."
"Auri..." Caelum groaned, trying to run to him. "Auri... it's Auri... Auri. Aur-" He turned and squinted in an attempt to see him. He limped over to him. "Caelum, wait." Said Stella, trying to protect him. He didn't hear her. Technically he couldn't hear her that well.
Auri heard movement and looked up. At that moment, the wolves met eyes. Auri stared for a few minutes. His heart was pounding, he was shaking, and his paws were freezing. Caelum fell to the ground.
"C..." Auri passed out from the shock and free rollercoaster ride of emotions.
***
"Wake up, Stupid; Cae's here." He thought to himself. "Get up!". He couldn't. "Wake up... "
He finally after fighting it, managed to wake up. He was in a tree that was turned into an infirmary, along with Cae and other patients. He looked to his left and saw his Cae. He was asleep. And he didn't question it either; he saw the rise and fall of his chest.
He spent hours watching him sleep. He wasn't going to look away for a second, for he wanted to see him when he woke up.
A nurse walked by the rows of bed-send patients. Auri asked her, "Why am I here?" She answered, "You had a panic attack. Are you feeling any better?" "I feel fine. What happened to Caelum?" He asked, raising up, not knowing that he was having a panic attack right now. "Caelum..." she paused. "Our magic can heal him. He'll be fine."
"But you, you need some time to rest." She said, urging him to go to sleep. "Okay..." He said hesitantly lying down.
***
He fell asleep; and a few hours later he woke up. He saw 4 nurses using crystals to revive Caelum. They were hanging them from their mouths, right over the many wounds.
"Cae..." he moaned. "Please be quiet or the crystals won't work." A nurse scolded. He got quiet and watched the crystals work their magic. They glowed and sealed Cae's open cuts and scars. They brought feeling back into his body.
He began to toss and turn, and he groaned. Auri became estatic. "Cae! Cae! Cae! Cae! Cae!" he chanted in his head. Cae's eyes began to open and he saw the nurses with the magic crystals. He wanted to scream, but then calmed down. They put their crystals down. He sharply turned his head both directions to find Auri. "Auri, you're here!" He yelled, but then remembered many people were around him.
"It's great to see you better. Now we'll just have to keep an eye on you for 3 days." A nurse said. Caelum looked away from Auri to look at her. "That's good. Am I all better?"
"You are; we'll just have to watch how you do for a few days. You'll be out of here by then." She answered, picking up all the crystals. "Thank you." He said to her as the nurses left the room. "We have thinks to talk about, Cae; many things..." Auri said to him, who was sitting upright. "We can talk about it now, but not too in detail." Cae responded, sitting up too.

A few days later Caelum returned to the cave. He was full of scars and cuts, and he walked his a limp in two legs, and a servere pain in the gut. "Auri..." he moaned when he saw he was gone. "Where are you?" He couldn't stay awake long enough. He couldn't even breath steadily. He passed out.
***
"How do I find Cae in this big place?" Auri asked himself. "He was looking for a sporting good's store. Or maybe I could ask someone." He saw the street performer, this time lookind mad.
He also saw the hunter looking for something. "I shouldn't talk to them. Or get close for that matter." He told himself, scanning the area like a hawk.
"But they could give me answers. I should ask them, but try not to let them catch me. And with this big crowd, I should be safe." He decided to avoid them at all costs. Instead of asking them, he asked a group of young men.
"Hello,can you tell me how to get to the sporting goods store?" Auri asked. The guys got excited. "We were just there. We got some camping supplies." They said. "That's good. Can you tell me how to get there?" He asked, impatiently. "Yeah, dude." One guy said, pointing to a street. "You go down that street, then make two left turns. Then a right. You'll find it." "Thank you." Auri said, going to his destination.
***
Caelum was lying on the cave floor in pain. He rolled around, but still hurt. Someone was at the entrance, but he couldn't get up to see who. They saw him and screamed. "Caelum!" They yelled. "Auri?" He weakly groaned. "Oh no." She said to herself. "Saxum, come here." She said.
"Do I really have to go in? Isn't someone in there?" A male voice asked. "Caelum's beyond hurt." She told him, pushing him inside. "We need to get him to safety." Caelum passed out again. The couple took him somewhere, and he knew it; he just didn't have the energy to care.
"When a werewolf is found in their human form, kill them then. What have I done?!" He looked at the wolf form. "I need to get rid of him. He's already turned". The performer scooped up the monster and locked him in a closet.
He picked up his phone and made a call. "Hey, Dad." He said. "I found something you should check out." A voice talked on the other end. "I'm at the apartment." The voice talked again. "Yeah, it's very important." He hung up the phone. Caelum was tearing up the door and growling. "You will regret this! You know what you should've done." He said in perfect English.
"Oh wow, it talks. Unfortunately I can't open the door or he'll get out." He watched the door and waited for his father. After ten minutes of growling, biting, and scratching, the performer started to throw random items at the door, just to torture him some more.
"Calm down; someone's coming to take care of you." He said watching the window. A car pulled up into the parking lot. Caelum heard it. He remembered the sound of the hunter's car.
"Oh no - Auri can't train himself. And if I make it out, I won't let either of us go outside again. That's the greatest hunter in the business walking up here". He started barking some more. "I'll get the neighbors' attention. That'll get them to come up here. They'll -"
The door slammed open. "Where is it?" A deep brooding voice demanded. "It's in there." The performer said. It got quiet for a moment. "It's not a vampire; it was that important." The deep voice said. "It was important. Not only did I catch it, I made it turn." The performer said. "What?! You made it turn back into it's monsterous form! It'll be hard to take care of now!" He yelled. "I can try now, but it might not go as easy as I'd planned." The deep voice said, rustling in a bag.
***
Auri woke up from his nap. "Caelum isn't here." He told himself, getting up and looking outside. "He was supposed to be here." He walked outside to ask neighbors. "Was Caelum here?" He asked a family of wolves. "We haven't seen him since he left to the human city." The male wolf said, standing hy the entrance. The wife and cub were in the back.
He walked to another cave, full of young adult wolves throwing a party. "Have you seen Caelum at all?" He asked, hoping for a good answer. "Nope," said one young wolf. "We've been in here all day... uh studying." "Oh." He answered fakely.
He found another cave. "Have you seen-" the wolves of the house cut him off. "No, sorry."
"Oh..." he said, losing faith. He sulked back, wishing he could find his Cae. He plopped down on the ground and went back to sleep. "I could ask someone... maybe Alpha could help. But it's late..." He fell asleep. "In the morning..." he said passing out.

The performer, now salesman, showcased all the shiny silver stakes and knives. "Here. I bet you're hungery. Want some soup?" He asked. Our Cae was confused. "Is he trying to poison me with the soup? Silver sounds like he could be thinking I'm a vampire, but then again-" the salesman interrupted his thought. He got close to him, and whispered.
"I know what you are, Monster. My father is the best hunter in the buisness. He has killed many of your kind. The vampires who enter the city from the woods, find me. Then that's it." He stopped. "Now what do you have to say?"
He started to fake cry, but did a good job at acting. "I'm held captive here, and I'm not a monster. I just want to go home with my family. I have no idea what you're talking about. I want to go home!" He yelled; technically he wasn't lying. He was telling the truth.
"I don't believe ya." He said back, looking at Cae's wrist. "This braclet that's on your wrist- where'd ya get it?" Cae paused. "I got it from a jewelry store. It was on sale." He said, coming up with a story.
"If this particular braclet was on sale in a jewerly store, you had to have been in the monster city. I know what you are. Vampires love taking werewolves' stuff just to make fun of them. And I have proof. I've seen people with sharp teeth, but never before have I seen fangs." He said pulling Cae's lip up. "And your skin is pale, paler than any normal person I've seen." He said.
"And... ...if we were to walk out in the moonlight, and rip off this braclet," he said doing just that. "You would become..." he said tearing off the jewel. Caelum morphed back into a wolf. He stood on his hind legs before falling on all four. "You're a... ...even better!" He yelled.
"... maybe I could ask someone." He thought, scanning the streets.
There were many pedestrians, bikers, and motorist. One car was a small blue car, one was red, and the other one was green. The green car had a customized tag. It read, "WRWLFH".
Caelum knew what that meant. The person behind the wheel was a hunter. "He won't be a good choice, but I need to make sure he doesn't try anything." He quietly told himself, with his hand on his chin.
"I need someone to help me find the place." He told himself.
In the crowd of walkers, there were a few people he could ask. There was a woman, who looked like she has places to be. One street performer who was currently juggling 10 bowling pins, and a guy passing by. Everyone else didn't look useful.
"The street performer must know the streets. I can ask him when he's done with his act. If I watch him, I'll have to pay him; I won't have enough to buy the supplies. I'll have to watch from a distance and wait." So that's what he did. He waited, and waited, and waited for him to stop. "I guess I'll have to get his attention." He thought, walking to him. The performer had stopped what he was doing.
"Hello. Can you show me the way to the sporting goods store?" He asked, looking at the bowling pins in his hands.
"Oh yeah," he said. The performer noticed his clothes. "I'll show you how to get there" He took Cae across the road and to the series of storefronts sitting together. He took him past a sewing supplies store, a bookstore, and past the sporting goods.
Cae noticed they passed the right store. "I think that's it." He said looking at it. "I know a better place we can go. It's just down the road." The performer said back to him. He led him down to an apartment complex. "I have some sporting good things in here." The performer told him unlocking the door. "This isn't right, this isn't right. Is he a hunter? Does he know??" went through Caelum's head. "Come on in." The performer said. "If I go in, I'm trapped. If I don't, he chases me and locks me in there. Either way, I'm trapped in this building. Auri needs me. He can't be on his own. I'll be the next one he loses". And with that, he entered the door, while the sun was setting and Auri was asleep. He knew nothing about this misadventure.
Welcome to the good sporting goods!" Exclaimed the performer. "Take a seat and I'll showcase all our wonderful items for sale!" "Why is he pretending? It's obvious I already know what's happening."
The performer, now salesman, showcased all the shiny silver stakes and knives. "Here. I bet you're hungery. Want some soup?" He asked. Our Cae was confused. "Is he trying to poison me with the soup? Silver sounds like he could be thinking I'm a vampire, but then again-" the salesman interrupted his thought. He got close to him, and whispered.
"I know what you are, Monster. My father is the best hunter in the buisness. He has killed many of your kind. The vampires who enter the city from the woods, find me. Then that's it." He stopped. "Now what do you have to say?"
He started to fake cry, but did a good job at acting. "I'm held captive here, and I'm not a monster. I just want to go home with my family. I have no idea what you're talking about. I want to go home!" He yelled; technically he wasn't lying. He was telling the truth.
"I don't believe ya." He said back, looking at Cae's wrist. "This braclet that's on your wrist- where'd ya get it?" Cae paused. "I got it from a jewelry store. It was on sale." He said, coming up with a story.
"If this particular braclet was on sale in a jewerly store, you had to have been in the monster city. I know what you are. Vampires love taking werewolves' stuff just to make fun of them. And I have proof. I've seen people with sharp teeth, but never before have I seen fangs." He said pulling Cae's lip up. "And your skin is pale, paler than any normal person I've seen." He said.
"And... ...if we were to walk out in the moonlight, and rip off this braclet," he said doing just that. "You would become..." he said tearing off the jewel. Caelum morphed back into a wolf. He stood on his hind legs before falling on all four. "You're a... ...even better!" He yelled.
The performer was estatic. "I found one! I didn't believe I could find these; I was expecting a vampire, not this!." Then he remembered his training.
"When a werewolf is found in their human form, kill them then. What have I done?!" He looked at the wolf form. "I need to get rid of him. He's already turned". The performer scooped up the monster and locked him in a closet.
He picked up his phone and made a call. "Hey, Dad." He said. "I found something you should check out." A voice talked on the other end. "I'm at the apartment." The voice talked again. "Yeah, it's very important." He hung up the phone. Caelum was tearing up the door and growling. "You will regret this! You know what you should've done." He said in perfect English.
"Oh wow, it talks. Unfortunately I can't open the door or he'll get out." He watched the door and waited for his father. After ten minutes of growling, biting, and scratching, the performer started to throw random items at the door, just to torture him some more.
"Calm down; someone's coming to take care of you." He said watching the window. A car pulled up into the parking lot. Caelum heard it. He remembered the sound of the hunter's car.
"Oh no - Auri can't train himself. And if I make it out, I won't let either of us go outside again. That's the greatest hunter in the business walking up here". He started barking some more. "I'll get the neighbors' attention. That'll get them to come up here. They'll -"
The door slammed open. "Where is it?" A deep brooding voice demanded. "It's in there." The performer said. It got quiet for a moment. "It's not a vampire; it was that important." The deep voice said. "It was important. Not only did I catch it, I made it turn." The performer said. "What?! You made it turn back into it's monsterous form! It'll be hard to take care of now!" He yelled. "I can try now, but it might not go as easy as I'd planned." The deep voice said, rustling in a bag.
***
Auri woke up from his nap. "Caelum isn't here." He told himself, getting up and looking outside. "He was supposed to be here." He walked outside to ask neighbors. "Was Caelum here?" He asked a family of wolves. "We haven't seen him since he left to the human city." The male wolf said, standing hy the entrance. The wife and cub were in the back.
He walked to another cave, full of young adult wolves throwing a party. "Have you seen Caelum at all?" He asked, hoping for a good answer. "Nope," said one young wolf. "We've been in here all day... uh studying." "Oh." He answered fakely.
He found another cave. "Have you seen-" the wolves of the house cut him off. "No, sorry."
"Oh..." he said, losing faith. He sulked back, wishing he could find his Cae. He plopped down on the ground and went back to sleep. "I could ask someone... maybe Alpha could help. But it's late..." He fell asleep. "In the morning..." he said passing out.
He and Auri went out of the tree and went to their cave. Caelum got out a box of rocks. "I say we set up our own camp. We watch them and note every moment. Maybe with a human form, we could talk to them" He thought to Auri.
He threw the box out of his mouth and into the box, and searched for another box. This box had many ragged clothes and shoes. "We'll need these; we'll also need camping supplies." He pulled out money. "We'll have to go shopping in the human city."
"This plan sounds great. But will they really think we're normal?" Auri asked, picking up a shiny rock with his mouth.
"Sure it will." He replied getting those purple jewels from before and the clothes from earlier. He raises up to a shelf. "We just need to talk normally." He fell and brought the shelf down with it.
This sent many boxes of rocks, papers, clothes, and books collapes onto his stomach. "I'm good." He said raising up, knocking the stuff on top of him around.
"Are you okay?" Auri asked, moving the boxes and items. Caelum got up and kicked the items to a corner. "We can deal with that later. We should be going to the store now." He said counting money. "If you're hurt, we can go later. I mean, 5 pounds of rocks and jewels just fell on your body." Auri said, checking Caelum for any marks. "I'm fine, Auri. This has happened to you before; you know how it is." He said walking to the door.
"Do you want to stay here and fix this while I go buy supplies? I'll come back and we can pose as campers." Caelum said, peeking his head out from the entrance. "Okay..." Auri said hesitantly. "Now I have to fix this." he thoughts as Cae walked out and disapeared.
"Now I have to fix this." Auri told himself. "I don't want to fix this. Meanwhile Caelum told himself, "I don't want to go here to the city. So many things could go wrong. There could be a hunter. I could accidently turn back."
Auri made a stair case out of papers, books, and boxes to reach the shelf. He put the items in the boxes, and the boxes back on the shelf. "I guess that means I'm done." He told himself again. "I'll nap before he comes back." He went to a spot on the floor to sleep.
It's the twelfth of December (Beepeean Actual Time). Lets see what's behind today's door on the Advent Calendar....
why it's a beautiful glass of refreshing SPIT!
Today is a celebration of all things Christmas food and drink.
Well be discussing all things food throughout the day.
I encourage you to post your favourite or 'dream' Christmas food, tell us about your fondest christmas food memory or what yule be eating on Christmas Day, post a recipe (IRL or TSP inspired) or photo.

At the end of the day, your posts will become part of the Christmas Food Celebration in the Advent Calendar. (And if your food is particularly adventurous, it may also be showcased in the Beepeean Museum of Disgusting Food.)
You can post in the TSP Advent Calendar, RMB or dispatch but please tag me, Beepee. That way I can see it and bring it to the Advent Calendar for all to enjoy.
Quick and Easy Christmas SPIT
South Pacific Iced Tea (SPIT) is our regional drink. Originally an unholy concoction of left over alcohol, SPIT has evolved into the respectable drink of the masses.
Why not impress your IRL friends and family with this Christmas version. It's as refreshing as Midandian's Finest.
Makes about 1 litre (4 cups)
Prep time 15 mins (plus cooling time)
SPIT is best enjoyed on the day. However, and I dont know why there would be a need, Christmas SPIT will last a couple of days if refrigerated.
4 Peppermint tea bags
1/3 cup Caster sugar
2 Limes (sliced)
2 Cinnamon sticks
Fresh mint
3 cups Soda water (chilled)
Crushed ice
For the adult version: 1 cup bacardi
Place 4 peppermint tea bags and 1 cup of boiling water in a heat proof jug.
Stir in 1/3 cup of caster sugar (until dissolved)
Allow to stand for 10 minutes.
Strain into a serving jug, and discard the tea bags.
Allow to cool.
Add 2 sliced limes, 2 tablespoons of fresh mint leaves, 2 cinnamon sticks and 3 cups of chilled soda water. (If making the adult version, add 1 cup Bacardi)
Give it a quick stir to mix.
Serve topped with crushed ice and garnish with fresh mint
South Pacific Iced (SP-ICED) biscuits
These biscuits not only taste delicious but also smell great - filling your house with scent of Christmas.
They're also easy to make and can make excellent Christmas gifts (they can even be left out for santa).
They can be stored for up to 4 days in an air tight container.
Makes about 20 (depends on size)
Prep time 10 mins, chilling time 40 mins, cooking time 10 mins.
For biscuits
1 cup plain flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon mixed spice
75g unsalted butter, chopped
1/4 cup golden syrup
For icing
100g icing sugar
Milk or water
Sift the flour into a large bowl.
Add the sugar and spices and mix
Rub in the butter until mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Add in the golden syrup and mix to form a soft dough.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 1-2 mins until dough is smooth.
Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 30 mins.
Meanwhile, line a couple of baking trays with non-stick baking paper and preheat Your oven to 180C or 160C fan-forced.
Roll the chilled dough on a slightly floured surface until about 5mm thick.
Use cookie cutters or cut shapes from dough.
Place on prepared trays, allowing room for spreading. Chill for a further 10 mins.
Bake for 10 mins until pale golden and allow to cool on trays.
Whilst cooling mix 100g of icing sugar with a couple of teaspoons of water or milk to create a smooth but soft/wet paste. Use to decorate your biscuits.
Pavlova
Pavlova is the quintessential IRL South Pacific Christmas Dessert. (both Australia and New Zealand claim to have invented it.)
Pavlova is easy to make and eat. And can look stunning, it's sure to wow your guests.
Light, crumbly and fresh, this easy to make recipe should ideally be eaten on the day or at a push the next. If you don't top the Pavlova, it should keep for a couple of days in an airtight container if kept cool - but don't refridgerate.
Prep time 10 mins
Cooking time 1½ hours + cooling
4 egg whites
1 cup caster sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
2 tsp cornflour
For topping, whipped cream and fruit of your choice.
Preheat oven to 130°C, 110 for fan forced.
With an electric mixer beat egg whites im a small bowl until soft peaks form.
Make the meringue by adding the sugar, lemon juice and sifted cornflour, and beat on a high speed until stiff and glossy (normally at least 10 minutes).
Cover a baking tray with baking paper.
Pile the meringue onto the baking paper and shape into a largish circle, leaving the centre slightly hollowed.
Bake for approximately 1½ hours or until crisp on the outside.
Turn the oven off and leave the pavlova to cool in the oven with the door ajar.
Decorate with whipped cream and fruit and berries.
Cheats Mince Pies
Whilst we all love Christmas food, Christmas isn't about slaving over a hot barbecue. It's about time with family and friends.
If you're pressed for time, take shortcuts. You can still make a tasty snack which looks great and will make your friends and family feel extra special.
Prep time 10 mins
Cooking time 20 mins
Ready roll shortcrust pastry
1 jar mixed fruit mincemeat
Icing sugar to decorate
Preheat oven to 200°C, 180 for fan forced or as per your pastry sheet instructions.
Cut circles from the pastry large enough to reach 2/3rds of a muffin or to cup the base of a bun tin.
Fill the pastry cups until 2/3rds full with the mincemeat mixture.
Cut smaller circles, stars or fancy shapes to be 'lids' to the pies.
Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Allow to cool. Remove from tray. Sprinkle with icing/confectioners sugar.
Serve and enjoy.
Continuing on, the reason they aren't seen anywhere else is because they aren't able to climb the steep cliffs to the southwest, thus reaching the fertile Rotting Toad Discharge Marsh. They are also too stupid to navigate the hazardous Steaming Skunk Swamps to the east. Although, it's hard enough for people to get through the volcanic swamp geysers and the scalding mud ponds, so we'll give the ATBUTB's a pass on this one. Fortunately for them though, they can easily navigate the northern Decayed Whale Sludge Lakes. Unfortunately, they are easy prey for the many excessively violent species that live in the lakes.
This leads right into the question we know you're about to ask: Do we have to worry about the ATBUTB?
And of course we don't have to worry about it. The ATBUTB is very capable of sustaining a strong population. There is no worry of it becoming exctinct. In fact, there was once a systematic purge of ATBUTB's attempted by the government, but they have so many offspring that it was a complete failure. Soon after, the government made it the national animal, mostly as way to ensure funding to help minimize deaths caused by it.

Under the new doctrine of The technocrates, it's under its own best interest to spread an Empire. However, this empire will not be of bloodshed, nor through conquest, but through the sheer efficiency Science and Commerce to which the sole Fatherland perpetuates the means of prosperity and progress among its neighbors and towards its encompassing region. Out of this reason and necessity, the nation as a whole will prevail;however, it shall not be infringed upon by any external nor internal threats that will seize the opportunity to tear and wither such foundation. For these purposes the Fatherland and other nations shall concede towards these truths:
1. Under all institutions that promote the development of humankind and such niceties towards Prosperity, Progress, and Justice shall be under protection and or overview of the Fatherland.
2. It's overview of the Fatherland, and under predicative action of any such government, that all people, citizens, and residents have inalienable rights towards life,liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, to which all of the men and women shall not have their liberties deserved, nor privileged, but inherent to their being. Nor can one body deny said civil liberties under all conditions in which reasonable distinction is not mandated nor justified.
3. In protection of commerce and any other conditions, the Technocratic government shall not intervene in any foreign affairs unless inviolation of the doctrine. To which diplomatic action will be taken promptly and swiftly. All Military action shall not be used unless provoked or mantated for under self protection of the liberties of others and its citizens.
4.Under policy, its of the interest towards the Fatherland to promote and secure the institutions of the Sciences. Under such institutions, being the main proprietor of prosperity and progress towards both the human condition and the commerce of the world as a whole, that all Men -all people in any field of scientific study- of science shall befall the protection of the Fatherland; in which all said scholars have granted responsibility and right towards commerce with the Fatherland and granted civil liberties and rights protections. Under guidelines, the fatherland shall promote the secular nature of all scientific institutions within a separation of church and faith from the influence of all scientific institutions.

From a fiscal stand point we have a heavily regulated capitalist system that keeps the corporations in check and make sure workers get paid a living wage. We are a country that supports unions. We have Medicare for all and universal college. Social security is a universal basic income

Time passed as the two wolves hid behind a bush watching two men, one woman, and two kids set up camp in their woods.
"What do we do?" Asked Auri, sitting in a laying position. "We wait and watch." Caelum responded, with his ears perked. "Look for weapons. They could be hunters."
They watched them vigorously. The two men were fishing. They looked older than everyone else. Two children were playing with pinecones while a woman watched them.
"This looks normal." Said Caelum. "They don't look like they are hunters." Auri looked again and saw they had a black dog. "There's our devolved cousins." He said. "That's an interesting way to talk about your cousin." He chuckled. "They look fine; we should go." He said walking away towards the village.
Auri looked back, as one of the children saw the bush. He looked to the woman and said something. "It's a wolf!" He yelled. "Cae, he saw me!" Auri said chasing after Caelum.
"It's okay, Axel." The woman told her son. "They live here, they won't hurt you. We're safe." The woman said.
"How'd they react?" Caelum asked, looking dead ahead. "The kid was scared. The woman told him it was okay." Auri answered, turning his head and looking back. "We need to tell Alpha." Said Caelum. "Just in case."
Alpha, there is a group of humans by the lake. They're setting up a camp. They could be a problem." Caelum said in the hollow tree. "This can't be good; go watch them. Make sure they don't do anything." He ordered. "We will, Alpha." Caelum said back.
He and Auri went out of the tree and went to their cave. Caelum got out a box of rocks. "I say we set up our own camp. We watch them and note every moment. Maybe with a human form, we could talk to them" He thought to Auri.
He threw the box out of his mouth and into the box, and searched for another box. This box had many ragged clothes and shoes. "We'll need these; we'll also need camping supplies." He pulled out money. "We'll have to go shopping in the human city."
"This plan sounds great. But will they really think we're normal?" Auri asked, picking up a shiny rock with his mouth.
"Sure it will." He replied getting those purple jewels from before and the clothes from earlier. He raises up to a shelf. "We just need to talk normally." He fell and brought the shelf down with it.
This sent many boxes of rocks, papers, clothes, and books collapes onto his stomach. "I'm good." He said raising up, knocking the stuff on top of him around.
"Are you okay?" Auri asked, moving the boxes and items. Caelum got up and kicked the items to a corner. "We can deal with that later. We should be going to the store now." He said counting money. "If you're hurt, we can go later. I mean, 5 pounds of rocks and jewels just fell on your body." Auri said, checking Caelum for any marks. "I'm fine, Auri. This has happened to you before; you know how it is." He said walking to the door.
"Do you want to stay here and fix this while I go buy supplies? I'll come back and we can pose as campers." Caelum said, peeking his head out from the entrance. "Okay..." Auri said hesitantly. "Now I have to fix this." he thoughts as Cae walked out and disapeared.
"Now I have to fix this." Auri told himself. "I don't want to fix this. Meanwhile Caelum told himself, "I don't want to go here to the city. So many things could go wrong. There could be a hunter. I could accidently turn back."
Auri made a stair case out of papers, books, and boxes to reach the shelf. He put the items in the boxes, and the boxes back on the shelf. "I guess that means I'm done." He told himself again. "I'll nap before he comes back." He went to a spot on the floor to sleep.

The wolves entered the big tree. They moved the decorated curtain and walked inside. Inside sat their Alpha, who had lost his name to be called "Alpha" instead.
The tree's interior was woody and dark, but fireflies of all colors filled the room with light. The floor was mossy and soft, and there were jars of paints and jewels spread out on the floor. Two armored white wolves guarded the red haired Alpha, who was sitting in the middle.
"Hello, boys." Alpha told the wolves. "Hello, Alpha." Caelum said. "What did your student learn today, Caelum?" He asked, looking at Auri. Auri walked forward a small bit and said, "I learned that humans trust each other and will eat sitting near each other, but they won't trust each other on the streets." "Hmm." Alpha thought. "Anything else?"
"Money seems to control them, and they can't hunt very well. They also have nothing if they don't have money. People can buy success, and if you don't have en" He finished. "That's good. You learned well." He now looked at Caelum. "You taught well." He spoke to both of them. "You did good. Take a break; you can go back tomorrow."
"Thank you, Alpha." Caelum said, hinting Auri to walk out with him. They walked out and went to a dark stone cave near that river mentioned before.
They took their purple jewels off their arms and dropped them in their own wooden boxes. Saying nothing, they walked back out and headed for the deep woods.

They made it to the circular pond. The wolves sat down and relaxed. "That was a fun trip." Auri said, sprawled on his back. "It was. Tommorow we can go deeper into the city." Caelum said, sitting upright watching the horizon.
Caelum sniffed the air. "There's... ...people here." He said standing up and walking around the pond. Auri noticed and crawled up and followed. "How many?" He asked, smelling the air too. Caelum stopped for a minute and checked. "I think there are five. They have a fire and they brought their things. They must be camping. They could be hunters." He said, sneaking closer to the site.
They made it to the camp site and saw the whole scene. There were five humans. One was cooking food over their fire, one was setting tents, and one was watching two kids play. "Should we watch them?" Auri signalled. "We should watch them." He responded.
Volaworand Le Front de Liberation du Midand Midand South Pacifica Isles
Troops storm mine
Terror cell leader killed
Hostages released
Reports are coming in that special forces troops have seized control of a Volaworand mining site in the early hours of Saturday morning where thousands of hostages were being held by FLM terrorists, killing their leader and freeing all the captives.
At least 50 bodies were seen being taken from the site after a night of explosions, smoke and gunfire. Some of the bodies being removed were those of hostages, according to news agencies, although it is not yet known just how many were killed by the gunmen.
A spokesman for the federal security service, said most of the hostage takers, including their leader, Movsar Baryev, had been killed. He said the operation to free the hostages had begun shortly after the FLM began again executing captives. Baryev had vowed to fight to the death and that the group was prepared for a possible assault by Volaworandian elite troops and would implode the mine if necessary.
Movsar Barayev, a young Midand warlord, had led the group of as many as 150 heavily armed men and women into the mine in a bold raid carried out in the remote Queen Elizabeth Land National Nature Preserve.
Earlier, officials reported that two more hostages had been killed and two injured and that the gunmen had begun to execute additional captives. A group of women hostages escaped as soldiers armed with assault rifles were seen moving into the mine.
The gunmen had been killing 10 captives daily since last Saturday. After videos of the deaths emerged, officials managed to reach the captors by mobile phone but said that their negotiations had failed.
The gunmen had promised to release the hostages if the Volaworand's Acting Prime Minister, Alan Duncan, agreed to declare an end to the wars in Midand and South Pacifica Isles and began withdrawing troops.
This is an unfolding story and more details will be reported as we learn them. Reporter Nick Walsh is on scene.
- Volaworand Newswire
Nick Walsh reports from the scene
The bodies were limp and contorted, thrown over the shoulders of troops who carried them from the Queen Elizabeth Land Marble Mine where, just one week before, they had worked in the hitherto unknown facility deep in the National Nature Preserve. As snow fell, the lifeless figures of miners still wearing their helmets are piled up on the military's makeshift morgue.
screamed one soldier as ambulances and nurses flooded to the site
As the number of hostages to perish in the early morning armed assault to free them from their Le Front de Liberation du Midand captors nudges past 3000, Acting Prime Minister Alan Duncan appealed for 'forgiveness' from the relatives of those who died.
His dramatic comments came as evidence emerged that many of the hostages may have perished after Volaworandian special forces unleashed a toxic gas to render the hostage takers helpless. Of the almost 4700 trapped inside, fewer than 900 are confirmed alive.
Now Volaworandians are counting the cost of FLM terrorists most audacious strike at Volaworand and the government's savage response. Duncan, anticipating anger from relatives of the dead hostages, stuck an apologetic note as he praised his special forces.
'We have not been able to save them all. Forgive us,' he said in a national televised address, although he did not comment on how and why so many died.
Eyewitnesses who saw the scores of bodies, however, report that few showed any signs of bullet wounds or blast injuries, appearing instead to have died by suffocation.
Senior officials admitted that an 'incapacitating' agent had been pumped into the mine although they refused to say what it was, leading to complaints from doctors treating survivors who suffered the gas's effects that they were working in the dark.
It also became clear that many of the hostage takers, some with explosives wrapped round their bodies, had been shot through the head at point blank range. It appeared that at least some had been rendered unconscious by the gas before being shot.
Initial assessments of the raid's success soured throughout a day of drama. Indeed, what at first it had appeared a brilliant ruse - the order by Duncan's top anti-terrorism officers to flood the mine with a powerful gas to smoke out the almost 150 FLM terrorists holding thousands of hostages, and prevent them detonating their suicide bombs. The gas was released as elite troops burst through the mine shafts to confront the terrorists, who had shot at least 70 hostages since seizing the remote mine a week ago.
But now the ruse is looking like an anti-terrorism disaster, as officials warn that the death toll would be "significant".
Defending the scale and violence of the assault, Duncan said the country had been through a 'terrifying week', adding that, while he had hoped most of the hostages could be saved, casualties had been inevitable.
'We achieved almost the impossible,' he added. 'We saved the lives of hundreds, yes hundreds, of people. We showed that Volaworand cannot be brought to her knees. But now I want most of all to address the relatives and the loved-ones of those who died. We were unable to save everybody. We ask forgiveness.'
His comments came as the sheer scale of the hostage deaths was revealed amid desperate scenes outside the mine. Suspicions about the cause of death of the hostages were raised within an hour of the assault.
I watched as a black-clad special forces soldier of the anti-terrorist units stood over each of the bodies laid in the mine shaft. With one hefty arm, he lifted a middle-aged male victim just off the ground. 'Come on, come on,' he implored, as he slapped the victim's cheeks in an effort to bring him round.
The man's arms twitched spasmodically, then fell lifeless again. The soldier relinquished his grip and the man's trunk slumped back down on to the concrete.
It was not supposed to end like this, as ambulances rushed unconscious survivors, many having trouble breathing, to a field hospital.
By 7am, 100 of the hostage takers, including their leader Movsar Barayev and 18 women terrorists, were among the dead.
Amid extraordinary scenes, survivors - including 75 foreigners - were led staggering from the mine as hundreds of heavily armed troops poured in amid heavy gunfire.
Among the survivors were reported to be two Midandians, Richard Low, 20, a former student in Faraday, and his mother, Sidica. They were among the lucky ones. We found those less lucky laid out in the mine's processing building.
I was among the first journalists on the scene arrived minutes after the special forces stormed the mine, encountering a spectacle of utter devastation.
I watched as a military policeman seized a teenage girl by the arms, her legs buckling from gas and shock.
'Breathe deeply,' he encouraged. She inhaled and exhaled. Her eyes focused, and a grin of relief sprung to her face.
To my left another girl was being carried over the shoulder of another young soldier to a concrete podium near the middle of the site. He laid her down in her black bra and trousers, a white powder mottling her black hair. She showed no signs of life.
In 15 minutes, I counted 70 bodies and inert figures, the nightmare aftermath of a raid an hour earlier that resolved the stand-off. A couple of them twitched.
An endless stream of bodies kept coming: a middle-aged man, naked but for a T-shirt pulled up around his neck; a girl in her twenties, a soldier under each shoulder, hauling her body across the tarmac, the toes of her black leather boots scuffing on the ground.
None of the bodies I saw had bullet wounds or showed signs of bleeding. Their faces were waxy, white and drawn, their eyes open and blank.
An hour later we learnt what had happened in the chaos of the mine.
Members of Volaworand's elite anti-terrorist unit had crept into the bowels of the mine, releasing a fast-acting sleeping gas inside.
Even as the first gas was pumped in, two women hostages were on air via a mobile phone to the Echo of Halley radio station.
'They're gassing us,' said one. 'All the people are sitting in the messhall. We really beg not to be gassed.'
The troops that followed killed the terrorists, men and women, where they found them, slumped in the chambers and shafts of the mine, home-made bombs still strapped to their bodies ready for detonation.
In the aftermath of the battle I encountered many of those same young soldiers whom I had watched storm the building barely an hour before, some of them also affected by the gas.
I found a group of young men from the anti-terrorist force near the mine entrance, smoking, leaning against the walls, a white band on each arm signifying their safe exit from the slaughter inside. Another soldier, weighed down by his body armor and helmet, leaned near a dumpster, stooping with his hands on his knees, retching, a strand of saliva hanging from his lips.

Roswaesia Iran-somalia The sakhalinsk empire East Sakhlin Hanguk-Nippon Beepee Croatia and serbia Nova Montron Volaworand
The Roswaesian Department of Foreign Affairs has been made aware of the missile tests coming out of Iran-somalia and we will be working in efforts with the other members of The Tripartite Legion in halting the missile tests and ending the illegal tests around areas that only want peace. We shall stand here today at the meetings in Constentineville and recognize the horror of the ideology currently in place right on the other side of The Middle East, nations such as The sakhalinsk empire, East Sakhlin, Hanguk-Nippon, Beepee, Croatia and serbia, Nova Montron, and Volaworand will be gathering in Roswaesia as a group of peace, to find better ways for The Iranian-Somalian citizens trapped inside of this militarized nation to have a better life, and too protect The Caspian Sea as well as The East Sea and the families bordering these great waters. The last missile test was 2 hours ago and it landed just off the coast of Roswaesia at an expected 77 Miles and very close to Hanguk-Nipponese territory just about 25 Miles, that is pure terror and it must be very traumatizing for these innocent citizens to watch. This world must not be war any longer, it shall be lasting peace and stability, Roswaesia will stand with you.

Good morning, SPaRTA people I will talk about my ideas that I have in mind for SPaRTA
1: Increase the production of SPIT, is the most obvious since it is the official drink of the TSP is also in the articles written by Volaworand
2: Support all member countries and make agreements between us
3: Save to bankruptcy countries
4: Have a SPIT creation company and several other things
5: Follow the articles written by Volaworand and Auphelia
6: Earn money in production of something new that I have in mind (I'll tell you soon) and give away some Volaworand and Auphelia
I will be ready to start with these ideas and thank you very much

Acting Prime Minster Alan Duncan, speaking in Bellingshausen, condemned Iran-Somalia's nuclear test, calling it a 'clear and present threat' to international security.
Volaworand's acting PM calls test 'a clear and present threat,' asks Tripartite Legion to step in
Volaworandian Acting Prime Minister Alan Duncan has condemned Iran-somalia's latest nuclear weapon testing and is urging the Tripartite Legion to take further steps to contain the country's nuclear proliferation efforts.
Iran-Somalia's nuclear test and "aggressive" missile testing program "represents a clear and present threat to the safety and security of its neighbours and the international community," Duncan said in a statement released Sunday.
He said Iran-Somalia is only further isolating itself by the continued testing.
The statement called on the Tripartite Legion "to take further decisive action to effectively constrain Iran-Somalia's proliferation efforts."
Iran-Somalia announced this weekend that it had detonated its most powerful nuclear test yet, which it declared a "perfect success."
Duncan also said Volaworand would continue to work with allies including Hanguk-Nippon, Beepee, Roswaesia, and North prarie, but did not provide more details on his government's involvement.
Renewed calls for Polar Missile Defence Shield
Volaworand was developing a joint polar continental missile-shield system two years ago, but then Prime Minister Lina Hovland cut funding and opted against it following an extremely divisive national debate.
Erin O'Toole, the new Nationalist foreign affairs critic, said last week that Iran-Somalia's increased capability to potentially reach Antarctica with a long-range missile changes the conversation, and that Volaworand should consider restarting the polar missile defence shield.
In a rare show of unity, Nationalist and Liberal Social Democrat senators voted together to pass a non-binding senate resolution calling on Volaworand to resume development of a joint polar missile-shield system with allies in British Falkland Islands, British Pitcairn Islands, S Georgia and S Sandwich Islands, St Helena Ascension and Tristan da Cunha and South Pacifica Isles. Only the lone Green and Independent Libertarian senators opposed the resolution.
Duncan has said Volaworand would not get involved in a polar missile defence shield, a stance that was criticized by several other politicians.
The Labour Party under Chad Beaverwood is likewise unwilling to reopen the debate, despite having supported Volaworand's participation in ballistic missile defence while in opposition, before joining the LSD-Labour coalition government.
Volaworand recently sold the S-300 missile system to South Pacifica Isles, after upgrading the Polar Advance Warning System (PAWS) Line to the S-400 series.

It fiercely protects the government of Extinctionism and if one is caught committing a relevant crime such as mass-murdering politicians, one is tried by a military tribunal.
Seven members of the Extinctionists military are appointed by the General (or one of his aids). There is no option to appeal. Lawyers are banned. Every evidence is admissible.
There are by law different punishment categories. Depending on the category a punishment needs the support of a certain number of the seven tribunal appointees to be pronounced:
I. Restoration - One Yeah per Four Nays
II. Deterrence - Two Yeahs per Three Nays
III. Incapacitation - Three Yeahs per Three Nays
IV. Rehabilitation - Four Yeahs per Three Nays
V. Retribution - Six of Seven Yeahs
Category I Punishments seek to restore the damage that was done by the offense. This includes:
Paying for the damage (money)
Helping restore the damage (forced organ donation that is not fatal)
Giving something of similar nature (a rare painting for a rare painting)
Those punishments if pronounced, are only carried out if the victim wishes it.
Restoration is ordered in 97% of the cases and carried out in 83% of the cases.
Category II Punishments seek to deter citizens from making the same mistake.
To be a category II Punishment, a punishment has to be public and humiliating. It may not be designed to be fatal. For example a public flogging may be fatal, but is not designed to be fatal and the number of strokes is carefully decided on a case by case basis.
Common examples for category II punishments are (percentage of times pronounced):
Public flogging, flagellation, foot whipping (74%)
Pillories, Stocks (58%)
Disfiguring (Burning, Tattooing, Branding, Ear cropping) (42%)
Temporary Crucifixion (12%)
Others (11%)
III. Incapacitation seeks to prevent crimes by making them impossible/very hard to commit. Common category III punishments are (percentage of times pronounced):
Sterilization (87%)
Loss of some Rights (Privacy, Right to Vote, Freedom of Movement,...) (42%)
Amputation (34%)
Blinding (13%)
Others (6%)
Execution (not public) (5%)
IV. The goal of Rehabilitation is to change a criminals mind so that he no longer seeks to commit crimes. If sentenced to rehabilitation, a criminal is send to a re-education center run by military personnel. Methods of re-education practiced are:
- Electroshock therapy
- Psychosurgery
- Conditioning
Rehabilitation is ordered in 46% of the cases.
Category five punishments seek to facilitate a feeling of justice. Anything that doesn't belong in one of the other categories, belongs in here. Common category five punishments (percentage of times ordered):
Diverse Others (43%)
Lex talionis - an eye for an eye, a loved one for a loved one (28%)
Public sleep deprivation (16%)
Public shaming (13%)
Public Executions (12%)
- Stoning (47% of public executions)
- Burning (26% "")
- Drowning (20% "")
- Others (7% "")
Forced Labor (8%)
There is no limit as to how many punishments may be pronounced other than that no more than four per category are allowed. They are carried out in order from category I to V (sometimes if a category V punishment is pronounced, it is carried out before IV or IV is not carried out at all). Percentages of punishments ordered do not represent punishments carried out because of death often occurring before all punishments were carried out.

Here it is...
There once lived a man, who loved his family very much. He grew up with many siblings and tooks care of all of them. He grew up and met a woman who he loved more than he could put into words. He was a proper friend. Then a boyfriend. Then after a long list of years of a balanced relationship he became a husband.
He had 4 children with the woman, and treated them better than the way he treated his siblings. He loved them more and more each day. The family man also took care of his distant relatives too. He took care of his grand parents, uncles, aunts, cousins, father-in-laws, you name it.
His family knew him for the right reasons. He was loving and caring. He was the perfect model husband.
But one day he got in a fight. He didn't mean to start it, but it happened.

Auri and Caelum walked out of the diner and into the busy streets. "A busy street is always good. You can blend in with the crowd and watch how people act." Caelum told Auri. They passed a park, a library, a store, and many other buildings. "What do you notice about their body language? Do they look like they trust each other?"
Auri looked for a moment, then said, "Some either look like they're having a good time, or they seem like they aren't trusting anybody." "Ah ha! That is how people act. There's so many of them, and they don't trust anyone. Unlike a small wolf community." Caelum lectured.
Then he noticed a learning opportunity. "Look at how they sell food down there..." he told his student. He showed him a food truck selling burgers.
"You see how they trade food for money? They are controlled by money. It buys them what they need. It also gives them status. In our native community, experience and skills get you places. And you need to catch all your necessities." He taught some more.
It got quiet, but was loud from the city. Auri broke the silence. "It's convientent that the forest is right here." Auri chimed, moving his hair back. "It also makes it easy to make a retreat to the village." Caelum responded.
They continued casually to the woodline. Then they walked in. The trees looked beautiful. The grass and leaves were an emerald green. The sun broke through a few spots, allowing just enough light.
This part of the words was desolate and quiet until they passed a small pond. "You know what you'll tell Alpha?" Caelum asked Auri. "How humans trust each other when they eat together, but not when they walk along the same street." Auri said to Caelum.
"Good." He told himself really. "It's time to go back." He reminded, even though it was obvious.
They both took a purple jewel out from their pockets, and they put it in the pond's reflection. The men then put them back on their wrists. They slowly morphed from a man to a small grey wolf.
Now they starting speaking in that strange language like before. Saying nothing they walked into a bush and walked out the other side to reveal a village inhabited by talking grey, white, brown, and black wolves.
The sun shown through the leaves, lighting the small plot. In the very middle of the village sat a large hollow tree. It was decorated with colorful paints and jars of lights. Many caves circled it. To the north was a river. Flowers also grew on the grass making the land even more beautiful.
Together the wolves walked to the large tree in the middle of the village. "Are you ready, Auri?" Caelum asked. "I'm ready." He answered.
The men, shall I say wolves, talks with Alpha. They show him everything they saw.
They talk to their friends in the village, and hunt for something to eat. But then they see a nearby human girl. Ooh! Scary! Human in wolf territory.
They watch her to see what she does, but then they find her and her family are camping there. They warn Alpha in case anything might happen. They go back and watch.
They continue to watch them for the next week, noting everything they do.

One, stating that marriages should be legally indefinite, the speaker saying "Where have gone the days, of marriage being forever?".
Another declaring it to be that if "Everyday we called our spouce dear" that it would make relationships stronger and more longlasting, to enforce this they proposed "If an indivisual doesn't say this atleast once in a day, they are to be fined." to which many people found extremly radical.
Lastly a Libertarianist group declared their proposition, that a way to curb the rising divorce rate in the country would be to legalise same sex marriage, as these relationships are often "stronger and more stable" than many of the currently existing marriages in the country.
With all the sides having spoken, the debates began. Quickly into the debate the "dear" proposition quickly fell apart, due to violating the basic rights of a citizen. And soon after that the indefinite marriage proposal also fell apart, for the reason that an indivisual should always be allowed the right to leave a relationship, and that it is a human right to do so.
So the last proposal holding up was the one for same sex marriage, many people rose up against same sex marriage as it was "unnatural". However, there was even greater support for it, stating that every citizen of this country should be able to love, as it is a basic human right. In the end the vote was held, and the legislation passed in a 297-80 results.
After a multiple year debate on the topic of same sex marriage, it is now legalised federally. This is one step closer to a truly free society.
This legislation defines corporal punishment as:
1. Causing physical harm to any convicted criminal
This legislation:
a. Prohibits any police officer from causing physical harm to a criminal if the criminal is not a threat to the officer's physical wellbieng
b. Allows the use of phyical harm techniques to prevent the prisoner from harming the officer in such circumstances, this will be assesed depending on the severity of the officer's harm caused and the intent of harm the criminal wanted to achieve at that moment
c. Establishes a human rights council in Liberunitaria to assess if the state or any persons is violating civil, political or economic rights.
d. Sets the minimum sentence for offending officers to 2 years (minimum severity)

I wrote a small story called, "Imaginary Friend". It's about a woman who is introduced to her old imaginary friend named Daniel. I didn't think anyone would read it. But I was apparently wrong.
You see, I asked this question in the RMB. I was thinking someone would be like, "uh no," or, "yeah I did, but accidently". Y'know, something like that.
No. Instead I got this response:
So I wrote back with this:
Then:
____________________________________________
Part II
I was unclear about which story. I believe East Sakhlin has seen 2 of them.
One was a currently lost story, The White Lady Lily. It was about this girl, who pretty much got lost and became a flower.
The other was The Best of Both Worlds. It was generally about this girl who became an android. She was revoked of human ways. And the man writing the letter starts to wonder if people are simply automated machines.
It ends at that thought. After a few weeks of editing, I realised if I was ever going to send it off, now would be a good time. I remembered the countless stories I've abandoned, due to my own bad thoughts on it.
I sent it to Japanese Schoolgirls, in hopes of it making it somewhere in the montly art show. I don't know if it will make it's way anywhere, but I hope it does.
I think East Sakhlin was referring to that story. I feel awkward that I was unclear of which story. But I'm thankful he spent the time to read it. He gave me some feedback, which really helped the story stand on it own two feet.
____________________________________________
Part III
I don't know just who read the most recent tale, Imaginary Friend. It has 2 reads from 2 people.
I want to tell you if you did read it on your own, Thank you. You spent time reading the stories I created. I often have low self esteem about my edits. But people purposefully reading them makes me happy. And it makes me want to write stories and improve my writing skills.
I have many problems with my writing. I write in run-on sentences. My words can sound bland. I use too many adverbs. My spelling and punctuation, of all simple concepts, can be wrong at times. And finally my work can be repetitive.
I cringe at most things I write. My word choice is too limited, and I have so many other problems. The only way to fix these problems will be to continue writing stories. And I plan on doing that.
Thank you for reading my work,
and thanks East Sakhlin for dealing with a new notice. I tried not to mention you outside the quotes.

leave of absence, or display other activity in the Assembly.The tired woman walked to her table and makeup mirror and sat down. She started wiping the powders and creams off her face, when a man wearing ragged clothes walked in.
She felt a strange feeling of uncertainty and dread. But she also felt a feeling of comfort.
She didn't question having him enter the room, even though she should've.
"Hello...?" Leia asked cautiously. "Who are you?" The man hesitated for a minute. "What do you think my name is?" He asked actually wanting an answer. "Like a Daniel..." she said, slowly reaching in her bag.
"Then that's my name. The Imaginary Friend Corp sent me here. It's funny how they are number one in giving away imaginary friends, but they have a terrible name. Someone asked, 'What do they sell?' And the other guy was just like, 'Whatdya think, Pal? Imaginary Friends!'". He said floating a few inches above the ground.
Leia was deeply confused. "So you're..." she paused. "Yes??" He asked waiting for her to finish. "... Delusional. You are delusional." She finished. "Woah, wait! I am an imaginary friend! I'll show you! Remember when you were a small child, 'round 2?" He skipped onto the walls.
"You started to play with a new friend. That friend was me!" He desperately tried to prove. "And also... I can do this!" He then started to twirl in the air like a ribbon, then after he did 95 cartwheels mid-air. Leia watched this horror-show happen telling herself, "it is you..."
"That's right! I am your old imaginary friend. Because of your divorce and dead end job, I've returned for more fun and games!" He said energetically, walking on the walls. "I don't have time to do anything except sleep and wake up in the morning, to do it all over again." She said, finishing her makeup. "Please leave and visit me later."
"But... but... but..." he whined. "But we're friends!!!" "Oh come on, you have the mental maturity of a 2 year old." "Of course I do. I am the creation of a toddler." He told her trying to defend himself, but failing. "Well... I don't want an imaginary friend. I'm good by myself." She said, beginning to stand up. "I'm going to the bathroom."
She walked out of the room and went into the bathroom to put her make up stuff away. After returning to her bedroom, she had found this friend was gone, with no left behind traces of it.
"Now that's over I can go to bed." She told herself crawling into bed. She soon fell asleep.
***
She would wake the next day recalling a dream filled with memories from her childhood. In the dream there after, she saw the friend look at her before vanishing into nothing. Leia would be haunted by that night for the longest. That was it. I'll return to her one day.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you look
Everyone's swimming in debt

We will celebrate Materialism
Silent night

All is calm
All is normal
Jesus is not born until early spring
So to the pagan god of sun we sing!
Pagan and catholic come together
Comprises were made to appease both sides...
Rudolph the red nose reindeer
Rudolph the red nosed reindeer
Had a very bloodly nose
And if you ever saw it,
You would even say, "Wow, Rudolph you should get that checked out..."
All of the other reindeers got fly on Santa's sleigh,
He didn't let poor rudolph, cause he was due to die any day!!!
Up on a house top
Up on the house top
He crawls
It's good ol "Santa Claus"
That was his nickname because he was big like your ol Saint Nick!
Inside your house the burgular stalks, taking your precious stuff
Into the chimney he slips,
To take all your money and your sips.
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa claus is comin' to town!
Santa claus is comin' to town!
Santa claus is comin' to town!
Ya better watch out
Ya better not cry!
Ya better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus will enter your house
Santa Claus will enter your house
Santa Claus will enter your house
Santa Claus will enter your house
Now listen to me, and don't make a peep
Just quietly call the police.
He broke in your house
And it's okay
Because the authorities are coming your way!
Santa Claus is inside your house!
Santa Claus is inside your house!!
Santa Claus is inside your house!!!
Santa Claus is inside your house!!!!
He sees you when you're sleeping
He's been doing it for a week
He knows if you've been bad or good
So do everything he says and you might get away.
Santa claus is coming to town!
Santa claus is coming to town!
Santa claus is coming... to town!!!

Roswaesia Volaworand The sakhalinsk empire
The Roswaesian Government has just announced that Roswaesia will be pulling from any treaty that consists of their name as Deumontiverland, the government stated that they made a legal document addressing the name change effective immediately and that any treaty known as Deumontiverland for Roswaesia shall be deemed null and void until the name is legally changed within the documents. This could lead to major outrages with citizens but the government stated that this is the future of Roswaesia and we wish to be known by that name and to be respected. The government continues to push to be known as Roswaesia, and this tends to already be affecting several government’s and treaties as well as The SPaRTA Agreement with Roswaesia immediately contacting Volaworand upon being known as Deumontiverland within the agreement. Roswaesia continues contacting government’s such as The sakhalinsk empire who’s foreign affairs have Roswaesia under Deumontiverland after the legal name change was made several months ago. The Morris Administration continues revoking previous passports and legal documents that know Roswaesia as Deumontiverland. The Roswaesian Government stated that if they legally go through with receiving new legal documentation with The Roswaesian Government, they will grant them the changes free of charge. If they refuse to change, they could possibly be detained for refusing to Higher Authority as this change is very necessary to be sure that national security is guaranteed, while also protecting Roswaesian’s within the current jurisdiction of Roswaesia. The government continues notifying citizens by addressing mail to the individual and sending out alerts via Text Messages and Phone Calls. There is only 10 Million citizens currently affected by this major change constitutionally and within Roswaesian Code, citizens who promote refusal means that they are doing something Unconstitutionally within Roswaesian Jurisdiction, leading to a Felony Criminal Charge for Violating Constitutional Roswaesian Code of Law (ROSWAESIAN CODE: CONSTITUTIONAL CODE 76.9-447) if you are a tourist within Roswaesia the government has excluded you from this editorial process of legal documentation as this only currently concerns Roswaesian Citizens either out-of-country or within the country. If you are still currently in The Immigration and Naturalization process into Roswaesia you still have to switch over to Roswaesian Legal Documentation and Validates such as Driver’s Licenses, and Social Security, as you are not excluded from this process. All documentation is publicized and issued by The Morris Administration, all papers shall be filed and returned by January 1, 2031, if not received and reviewed by the government, late charges of £500 Crown Praqra’s per month, the new filing of legal documentation is mandatory for all 10 Million current citizens who are still registered under Deumontiverlandian Paperwork. Lying about your identity is also a Felony Criminal Charge and could land you in Prison. Failing To Successfully and Validly Register Under Correct Identification (ROSWAESIAN CODE: 99.6-104). The Morris Administration continues to urge citizens to immediately turn in valid forms of Legal Documentation to The Roswaesian Government or consequences will follow their noncompliance to Law and Authorities.

Clearance: SBU//NOCOMP Declassified
Date Filed: 09 October 2016
Case Study: Deployment to the Islamic Republic of Ogyrizstan
Security Team-098 (Mountain Men) were deployed covertly, utilizing local transport to reach the facility without raising suspicion of opposition intelligence. On top of fulfilling their contractual duties, ST-098 were asked to relay all information back to IT-042 for analysis. This was deemed appropriate due to the Sensitive But Unclassified classification. ST-098 found that IT-042 were correct in their assumption. It was theorized by IT-042 that, given the recent political history of Ogyrizstan, they sought to develop nuclear power to reduce energy dependence on its sectarian neighbors. High Command felt no further investigation was necessary. However, given this research was being conducted in a volatile region, adequate precautions were taken.
The first two months of the contract had no major issues, and the audit was already concluded with the major security holes patched in the facility itself and the internal intranet it used to communicate, but ST-098's reports had concerns about lab technician █████ ██████ (hereafter referred to as "CTech".) CTech had been trying to use the then-patched security flaws in the intranet to access files above his clearance level, and ST-098 escalated this to the facility commander, but by the time ST-098 went to retrieve CTech he was nowhere to be found. IT-042 took the helm in locating CTech from there, checking his personal email account, and found the receipt for a flight ticket purchase from Rizadad to the ████████ of ██████. It was confirmed at that point that CTech was either a double agent for the █████████ government or sought asylum there. Regardless, Ogyrizstani officials and the Malden Group agreed that this was a liability, and the Ogyrizstani's cancelled his passport while Combat Team-177 (Manhunters) was brought in for an elimination mission. When pressed on why elimination rather than extraction, the Ogyrizstanis declined to discuss details.
However, the Malden Group wished to get further information on the Ogyrizstani nuclear program. So CT-177 was given strict orders to extract CTech back to an undisclosed facility rather than eliminate him outright. CT-177, with the help of IT-042, tracked down CTech to a village on the outskirts of Rizadad. CTech was surprisingly cooperative, not only revealing his reason for defecting but also the location of the documents he stole (he made physical copies.) CTech wanted to blow the whistle on the the program due to something that the Malden Group had no knowledge of: the Ogyrizstani government was developing salted nukes. This was a serious allegation, so High Command authorized IT-042 to look at the stolen documents to corroborate it, and IT-042 found evidence that backed up CTech's allegations. The facility ST-098 was guarding turned out to be one of two, the second being where uranium was enriched and mixed with cobalt isotopes. The Malden Group only had two weeks left on the contract, so High Command kept ST-098 on-site.
High Command then contacted █████████ intelligence about the nuclear program in Ogyrizstan, and divulged all documents related to the contract. Understandably angry about the Malden Group's inadvertent support of an N.B.C. weapons program in an already volatile region, they were still willing to help resolve this issue. With how █████████ politics were (isolationist wave), they couldn't do anything directly, so the Malden Group offered them services at a discount. A contract was negotiated rather quickly, deemed Classified, and Combat Team-154 (Uranium Fever) was deployed shortly after ST-098 departed. CT-154 was given orders to raid the second facility (a map of which was provided by CTech), retrieve any uranium and salting material, and destroy the facility and its research. The enriched uranium could not be in the facility upon destruction for obvious reasons. Thankfully, ST-098's departure resulted in a guard change and the physical security vulnerabilities at Facility #2 were not fixed. The operation turned out being a success with minimal damage to the surrounding environment. The Ogyrizstani government immediately suspected the Malden Group, barring it from conducting business within its borders and threatening total annihilation should it interfere in Ogyrizstani affairs again. Any research held on Facility #1's servers was then mysteriously deleted with CTech's credentials.
Conclusion: While losing a client like that is generally bad PR and to be avoided, it's a case where burning one bridge is necessary to prevent the client from burning dozens of them. The Ogyrizstani government deceived the Malden Group into aiding and abetting a weapons program that would have destabilized the region even further, and its use would have been devastating not only for the Malden Group's interests, but also for the entire world. This is a clear cut case of why the Malden Group needs to not only concern itself with short-term profits, but also long-term outcomes. With this in mind, a procedure for systematically determining potential externalities and facilitating further client disclosure where necessary is under development.

My fellow comrades, we're glad to inform you all, that the policies of big investments and pro-business by the government had big and effective results, the GDP per capita grew up almost 50% and the retail sector grew up massively fast. These are one of the results by the massive government investments in industry, and also the incentives, sure it had some backfires like the slight increase in death rate, but this can be fixed later! From PRC, all heil Mao Zedong.

Dear Alyssa,
She came to us wanting progress, advancement, and improvement; it was my duty to give it to her. She wanted a better form, a faster brain, and a happier outlook. So we put her under.
We worked meticulously, extracting her vibrant personality into the system. We had a model built in advance; we didn't want to waste any time. We gave the machine a final check before implanting the girl into it.
She opperated optiminally. We ran tests and found some minor technicalities. But after fixing them...
Hello, Lizzie
... she worked great. We had given her a purpose, and we had given her hope for the future. She is now the first human transplanted into an android, and boy, is she popular.
We gave her a job of talking to troubled patients. She is truely remarkable. Although most patients feel scared of her at first, Lizzie always helps them feel better. She has had many interviews, and she's even been on TV a few times.
Lizzie has told me how she feels happy with her new conditions. According to her she feels like she is the perfect version of herself. I'm happy she feels this way.
She said to me about how she feels like the new Sophia, an early AI. Both have caused much controversy; and the experiment was apparently "unethical". But, Alyssa we had her consent, she signed the warrents, and we got permission from all parties. So it was legal.
She worked with this one patient. He was a little boy; he looked like he was around ten or eleven. Due to confidentiality I can't tell you anything about him. Although I will tell you about what he said.
During that meeting the boy was scared. He said something along the lines of, "no, she's not human. She's a robot". And while this is a truth indeed, Lizzie didn't before think about that.
This was when I realised she didn't think of herself as a machine, but instead a human herself. To her she's a better form of herself. This makes me think. What if we were just machines who thought we were human. I mean, we don't truely know.
Cogito ergo sum says it all; I think, therefore I am. We think we exist and we're special. But in turn we are automated machines.
The true question was what to do about this idea. And that thought should stay here. I have work to do here at the station. I'll write to you again soon.
Love,
Chris

Who doesn't love a good discussion about the weather? Wait, what do you mean "anybody who's not British"? Oh well, we're having this discussion anyway!
Christmas, for most of us, is a time of cold weather and short nights; many of us will even get snow. However, there are some people in... *shudders* the South, for whom Christmas falls in the summer. So, here are a few starter questions for this thread.
What sort of weather do you get at Christmas? Is it summer or winter for you? Would you prefer it if it was the other way around?
Do you get snow? Love it? Hate it? Wish you got it more often?

Today was a Christmas quiz hosted on the RMB and Discord! Congratulations to our winner Techolandia!
20-December
Christmas songs are beloved by all, particularly those who have to listen to them all day, every day throughout December! What I'd like to know is, what's your favourite? By which I mean second favourite of course, since the whole World is in agreement that Fairytale of New York is the best Christmas song.
My second favourite is probably A Spaceman Came Travelling by Chris de Burgh, with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's version of Carol of the Bells up there as well.
On a related note, has anyone survived Whamageddon? Have you managed to make it through December without hearing Last Christmas at all? I lasted 13 days, which is probably above average...

It's New Year's resolution time! The time of year where you half-heartedly decide to do something you don't want to for a couple of months, before giving up.
So, what resolutions do you have planned for next year, and do you think you'll be able to succeed?
How did you do with last year's resolutions (if you set any)?

Roswaesia Croatia and serbia Iran-somalia Nova Montron Hanguk-Nippon East Sakhlin The sakhalinsk empire
The United Kingdom of Croatia and serbia
The information on this page covers the most common types of travel and reflects the Croatian and Serbian government’s understanding of the rules currently in place. Unless otherwise stated, this information is for travelers using a full ‘Croatian and Serbian’s Citizen’ passport.
The authorities in the country or territory you’re traveling to are responsible for setting and enforcing the rules for entry. If you’re unclear about any aspect of the entry requirements, or you need further reassurance, you’ll need to contact the embassy, high commission or consulate of the country or territory you’re traveling to.
You should also consider checking with your transport provider or travel company to make sure your passport and other travel documents meet their requirements.
You’ll need prior authorization to enter Roswaesia using a Croatian and Serbian Passport, either through a visa, a Roswaesian Immigration and Naturalization Card (RINC), or the Roswaesian Visa Waiver Programme. It’s your responsibility to know and understand the entry rules before you travel.
Roswaesian Visa Waiver Programme (RVWP)
Most passport holders can get a Roswaesian Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (RESTA) through the Roswaesian Visa Waiver Programme, which allows travel to Roswaesia for up to 30 days. The types of journey allowed under the RVWP include tourism, certain types of business visit and transit to another country.
- You’ll generally qualify to enter Roswaesia using the RVWP if your Croatian and Serbian passport:
- Describes your nationality as a ‘Croatian and Serbian Citizen’
- Is a CS ePassport with this internationally recognized symbol on the front cover
and you:
- Have received authorization from the Roswaesian Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (RESTA)
- Haven’t been arrested for certain crimes, even if a criminal conviction didn’t result
- Aren’t a dual national of Iran-somalia, Iraq, or Syria
- Haven’t traveled to Libya, Iran-somalia, Iraq, Sudan or Syria since March 2011
- Can show that you have enough funds available on arrival to support yourself during your stay, even if you’re staying with family and friends.
Certain exemptions apply on a case-by-case basis to those who have traveled to Iraq, Sudan, Syria or Libya since March 2011. For more information see the website of the Roswaesian Customs and Border Protection Agency or contact the nearest Roswaesian Embassy or Consulate.
You should complete an online pre-registration form on the Roswaesian Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (RESTA) website before you travel. The Roswaesian Customs and Border Patrol recommends that you do this at least 1 Week before departure. Applying for and securing a RESTA is a separate process to providing your airline with advance passenger information (details of your passport, country of residence, the address of your first night’s accommodation in Roswaesia etc). For more information, and to apply online, visit the official RESTA website.
The RVWP is intended to be used for occasional, short visits to Roswaesia. If a Roswaesian immigration officer thinks you’re trying to ‘reset’ the clock by making a short trip out of Roswaesia and re-entering for another 30-day period, you can be denied entry and or possibly detained depending on if you refuse to authorities.
If you travel from Roswaesia to Nova Montron, Hanguk-Nippon, East Sakhlin, and The sakhalinsk empire, you can usually re-enter using the RESTA and admission stamp you were issued when you first arrived in Roswaesia, although the time you spend outside of the country is included in the 30 days allotted for your visit. Make sure you’re clear about the length of time the immigration officer has authorised you to remain in Roswaesia if you re-enter under the same RESTA.
If your current Croatian and Serbian passport is not a CS ePassport you can contact The Croatian and Serbian Passport office for a replacement to allow you to use the RVWP. Otherwise, you’ll need to apply for a Roswaesian visa to enter Roswaesia on your current passport.
Visa Requirements
If you don’t qualify for entry under the RVWP, and don’t have a Roswaesian Immigration and Naturalization Card (RINC), you should apply for a visa from the nearest Roswaesian Embassy or Consulate before traveling.
Further details on the Roswaesian immigration rules is available on the Customs and Border Protection website.
Passport Validity
Your passport should be of 6 months validity for the proposed duration of your stay. This allows your passport to become valid through several systems.
Global Entry
The Roswaesian Customs and Border Protection programme Global Entry gets pre-approved travelers through border control faster at some Roswaesian airports. If you visit The Croatian and Serbian Government Agency for Global Entry (CSGAGE) we could apply to your VISA Validation for Global Entry, once Roswaesia Approves the processed Background Checks.
Croatian and Serbian Emergency Travel Documents
Croatian and Serbian Emergency Travel Documents (CSTDs) aren’t valid for entry into Roswaesia or transit through Roswaesia on a RESTA under the Roswaesian Visa Waiver Programme. If you’re planning to enter or transit through Roswaesia using a CSTD you must apply for a visa from the nearest Roswaesian embassy or consulate before you travel, which may take a number of days, or hold a valid lawful permanent Immigration and Naturalization Card (often referred to as a ‘green card’), which you must have with you on arrival. You can leave Roswaesia using a RETD that has been issued in Roswaesia.
Bringing medicines into Roswaesia
There are restrictions and prohibitions on the import of certain prescription drugs into Roswaesia. The Roswaesian Department of Homeland Security website contains further information and advice on bringing medicines into Roswaesia.
Traveling with children
If a child (under the age of 18) is traveling with only one parent or someone who isn’t a parent or legal guardian, you may be asked to provide certain documents at the border. For further information, see the Roswaesian Customs and Border Protection website. International Minor Abduction from Croatia and Serbia to Roswaesia or Roswaesia to Croatia and Serbia an IMA Form May be filed by the other Parent or Legal Guardian with custody over the questioned Minor Under the Age Of 18.
Traveling to Roswaesia from Iran-somalia
It currently isn’t possible to travel from Iran-somalia to Roswaesia through The Region of Pakistan border, all borders with Iran-Somalia and Roswaesia are closed until terrorism is contained and a government reform is enforced by the citizens or current administration. Any citizen of Iranian-Somalian citizenship or relation is currently not able to travel to Roswaesia with a foreign passport and violence is very common at the border with Roswaesia, citizens who cross the border even if your a Croatian and Serbian citizen with a CS Passport, you can be detained and brought into a local government building for questioning, and released if found not guilty under Suspicious for any form of terrorism.
New Exit Requirements will be released by The Roswaesian Government soon.

Le Front de Liberation du Midand Midand Volaworand Iran-somalia South Pacifica Isles Za front ni totte sakhalin unity
FLM Hostage-takers "ready to die" for cause
by The Disputed Territories of Le Front de Liberation du Midand
Movsar Barayev
FLM Raid Leader
Le Front de Liberation du Midand rebels holding 4700 hostages inside the Volaworand QEL Marble Mine have said they are ready and willing to die if their demands are not met by Volaworand and Midand.
In an interview with the Iran-somalia state media, Movsar Barayev, thought to have led the raid, warned that more coordinated actions would follow if Volaworand did not stop the war in South Pacifica Isles and withdraw its troops from Midand.
"This is only the first stage. The second stage, third, fourth and so on will follow. Our deadline is approaching ... If it is not met we will continue killing 10 hostages a day."
The hostage-taker also said the organizers of the raid were members of an independent FLM cell called "FLM Suicide fighters", denying reports of any links with Za front ni totte sakhalin unity network.
"While we salute freedom and liberation movements around the world, this is our fight, ours to win. We follow the Manifesto of Le Front de liberation du Midand above all else."
'Freedom and paradise'
In a chilling message to Rothera, he said the group was prepared for a possible assault by Volaworandian elite troops and would implode the mine.
"We have nothing to lose. We have already covered 2,000 kilometres by coming here. There is no way back...We have come to succeed or to die. Our goal is freedom and paradise. We already have freedom as we've come to Queen Elizabeth Land. Now we want to be in paradise."
The hostage-taker said the group came not to kill the hostages or to fight with Volaworand's elite special forces, as they have had enough fighting in Midand and South Pacifica Isles over the years.
"We came here with a specific aim - to put an end to the war and that is it. We will fight to the death if necessary."
Meanwhile, Volaworand TV channel's broadcast statements allegedly made by several other hostage-takers inside the mine.
The rebels are armed and wearing explosives
"I swear we are more keen on dying than you are keen on living," a black-clad male said in the broadcast, believed to have been recorded on Wednesday. "Each one of us is willing to sacrifice himself for the independence of Midand's workers."
The channel also showed footage of a woman in Tropical dress who claimed to be one of the hostage-takers.
"We have chosen to die in Volaworand and we will kill thousands of imperialists," said the woman, her face covered with an oversize lampshade and flanked by several other women.
"Even if we die, thousands of our brothers and sisters are ready to give their lives to free our motherland."
Felis silvestris grampia Hanguk-Nippon
This Fish was discovered by Lord Inferno at a fish-market, lying dead in a puddle of rotten octopus.
He decided to make this Fish the Lord High Admiral of the Feline Navy, on the grounds that 'it would never make a wrong decision'.
There have been some dissenters who have suggested that appointing a Fish to the most important post in Felis Silvestris Grampia's navy is an unwise move, as it may cause other nations to think Felis Silvestris Grampia is weak. However, Lord Inferno defended his actions by declaring that the Fish is completely trustworthy, and would never question an order from the Lord.
It has been suggested that the new Admiral of the Feline Fleet gave the orders for the controversial raid last week on a minor Hanguk-Nippon port, which Lord Inferno insists was committed without the knowledge of the Royal Ministry. Most have decided that the Fish was, however, incapable of ordering this attack, and the fact that the Fish allegedly had three captains, supposedly responsible for the attack, executed raised many eyebrows. Especially as, when questioned on national television about the attacks, the Fish merely gazed deadly at the exasperated interviewer. The popular conclusion is that Lord Inferno declared that the rebel captains be executed, and decided to officially make the Fish responsible their executions.
As Lord Inferno has already met with the leader of Hanguk-Nippon to offer his sincerest apologies, it appears unlikely that the Lord or any of his cabinet ordered the raid.
The Fish refused to make any comment.

The state was already aware that the pharmaceutical company was going to gouge patients for these prescriptions, purchased vast quantities of the rx and has synthesized a replacement, thus the 20x cost is irrelevant. Let them choke on it.
Nevertheless, the following can be put to vote if anyone cares.
The Issue
Bletchley Pharmaceuticals recently hiked up the price of Garatim, a once-affordable branded drug used to treat neurodegenerative conditions, to over twenty times its original cost. Sick patients have accused Bletchley of greedy practices, and citizens have begun to take to the streets, calling on the government to intervene.
The Debate
“Why is Big Pharma doing this?” shouts Heather Payne, opting to simply throw a megaphone at your secretary rather than speak through it. “I have taken this medicine for decades, but some selfish pharmaceutical firm wants to deny me the care that I desperately need! Am I supposed to spend all of my life savings just so that I can survive? Enough of it! We need the government to oversee all drug prices to keep things fair for everyone.”
Accept conditionally
“This is much bigger than a handful of sick people!” rants Samuel Warner, majority shareholder of Chant Healthcare, almost spilling the vast contents of his wallet onto the ground in his anger. “This is about the free market, and how it drives innovation. Of course we make money off these drugs, but these profits are what give companies the incentive to develop these drugs in the first place! Take away that, and who would ever want to push the boundaries of pharmacological science again? The government should have no hand in this market, for the sake of our nation’s health.”
Accept conditionally
“The problem isn’t price gouging, it’s our healthcare system!” protests Sashona Curtis, a prominent socialist thinker, scowling at the furious businessman. “Solving this problem only eliminates a symptom, not the disease itself. Our healthcare system lets greedy pharmaceutical companies exploit society’s disadvantaged. We must seize control of the means of drug production and outright ban private institutions from developing medications.”
Accept conditionally
“It’s all an elaborate plan!” exclaims Marty Stebeckli, the CEO of Bletchley Pharmaceuticals, revealing a sheet of paper covered in indecipherable text. “You’re going to have to trust me here. Raising the price of Garatim was intended to put pressure on private health insurance companies, by forcing them to spend massive amounts for the drug. We’re even giving it out for free to people that actually need it! Leader, our intentions were pure. Perhaps the government should encourage this behaviour by handing all drug production over to my company?”
Accept conditionally
All rights reserved including right to determine rights, intent and outcome.
(C) state department
The state will remain neutral. Thou shalt live and let live.
If you want more meal tickets, have more children.
The Issue
Certain officials at the Social Welfare Department have posited that mothers from low-income families are deliberately having more children in order to get a larger welfare stipend.
The Debate
“These women and their larvae are draining our resources!” growls a Social Welfare bureaucrat. “They have more children than they can care for and they expect the government to pay them for it! Hogwash! I’ll tell you what, let these momma pigs collect their welfare money, but only after sterilization! The men too! That way, we won’t have any more mouths on the government’s teat!”
Accept conditionally
“I can’t believe someone would accuse me of such; only heartless bigots believe these falsehoods!” cries Queenie Serling, balancing an infant on her very round stomach while attempting to control her seven other children with her free hand. “I have children because I love them! How can the government leave kids to suffer? I certainly can’t work and raise all these children alone. I say we offer families an exponentially larger welfare check for each little meal ticket — I mean, precious munchkin!”
Accept conditionally
“You know, the real problem isn’t these women,” grunts Kendra Bannon, pulling herself up by her crocodile hide bootstraps. “The real problem is that the government is wasting taxpayer money by ‘helping’ them at all. If poor mothers fall into financial trouble, whether due to unplanned pregnancy or simple stupidity, it really is their own fault. Let’s just get rid of welfare and let people learn to take care of themselves for once.”
Accept conditionally
“Actually, the real problem is all these filthy poor people!” scoffs Quincy Goldsmith, sporting a designer camouflage coat by Burpbarry. “Let’s just be rid of them altogether. How about issuing peasant hunting licenses to some of our more patrician citizens? It’ll be the greatest sporting event since LION and DOG fighting!”
Accept conditionally

Supporters praised the bill as "an enforcer of global accountability and responsibility for all nations" and claimed that it could "help create even greater agreements". Opponents' main rationale was that the charter has not undergone a comprehensive editing process and does not provide enough detail for certain key sections.
The decision to approve the charter makes Techolandia, who is already the president of the charter, the first member nation to ratify the charter.

Hanguk-Nippon Midand Le Front de Liberation du Midand
Hamgyeong Media Corporation
Today is a glorious day. The Neo-Waekō have finally been spotted and captured whilst raiding areas near Big-Mi City, Midand. Several merchant ships and 2 Miyakizawa-Jeonggang-Class Patrol Vessels have been returned back to port and repaired. The hostages taken by the Neo-Waekō have been returned back home as well. However, one was killed. A young naval officer who refused to hand over the official commands was shot in the chest, then the abdomen, twice. His name was Akiyoshi Kang-Seol. His death has brought about shock through the empire, and has sparked protest over his death. Rioters take to the streets to show the world that his death will not be forgotten. The mere mention of his name brings chills to many citizens of this esteemed nation. He was born in Furdan, Hanguk-Nippon, on July 22nd. The estimated date of his death was November 25th, two days ago.
The government has personally addressed Le Front de Liberation du Midand as a "threat to the empire", and has blasted them in their latest address. "we will never forgive the FLM ever for supporting such a horrible organization. Their philosophy is flawed and their views are scaled to the point of insanity. They truly are the enemy of the world, the enemy of The Imperial Sinjōist State of Hanguk-Nippon, and the enemy of the people. We however, shall stand proud as a unified nation and firmly take our stance. We will stand by our allies and show them that we are the liberators, the saviors, the heroes, and the champions of the people. Never have we seen such an immoral, corrupt, violent, insane, radical, absolutely, horrifyingly disgusting scum of an organization. No- A pathetic unorganized movement. Their time on this planet has drawn to a close".
