Unrest in Västrastaden
29 Wintertide 1851

Recently there has been a growing unrest among many in the Vänsterpartiet (Left Party). For years they were part of the governing coalition with the Liberalpartiet, but saw their numbers plummet in the 1840s following news from around the world of the turmoil of socialist states. Since then, they have accused the Liberals of going too centrist and working too closely with the Monarchists.

Thus, recently there has been unrest in the eastern cities of the country, centered around the labor stronghold city of Västrastaden. While always a labor stronghold, there has never been violence in their demonstrations.

This changed yesterday. At 13:00, they held their largest demonstration yet. Leaders began chanting anti government slogans while calling for a revolution. Police responded arresting members for insurrection. Someone in the crowed fired a gun and pandemonium ensued. Whistles were blown, trucheons came down, and gunshots were heard. By 14:37, many of the leaders were arrested and have been taking into custody for questioning. 13 protesters and 4 cops have died.

Government Unveils Controversial Policies Amid Economic Turmoil

Kyvi, Ukraine Sovereign - In a seismic shift aimed at reshaping the nation's destiny, the government of Ukraine Sovereign has unveiled three bold policies amidst a backdrop of economic uncertainty and social unrest.

Renowned for its unwavering commitment to a state-planned economy and staunch defense of social welfare, Ukraine Sovereign finds itself at a crossroads as the democratic population of 333 million Ukrainians grapples with the ramifications of sweeping governmental changes. While tensions simmer as the government introduces measures that challenge the status quo, citizens express concerns over the potential ramifications of these policies on their livelihoods and freedoms and hope for intervation from Alcris

With the average income tax rate soaring to 66.1%, the populace braces for the storm ahead, as the specter of income inequality looms large over our nation's future.

The introduction of compulsory organ harvesting to address the dire shortage of transplantable organs has drawn both praise and condemnation, as citizens grapple with the ethical implications of governmental intervention in matters of life and death.

Simultaneously, the policy of autarky sends shockwaves through the economy, as the government takes decisive action to shut down foreign corporations in a bid to bolster domestic production and usher in an era of socialism. Protesters take to the streets, decrying the government's actions as shortsighted and reckless, warning of dire consequences for an economy already teetering on the brink.

In the face of mounting criticism, the government remains steadfast in its pursuit of these policies, dismissing dissenting voices as misguided and unpatriotic.

As Ukraine Sovereign stands on the precipice of change, it is imperative that we, as citizens and members of the press, hold our leaders accountable for their actions and demand transparency and accountability in governance.

The Forgotten Stories

For decades, the Abonaqian and Nagansettier peoples of Arnyvonna, the original inhabitants of this part of the continent, have been confined to reservations, territories pre-determined by the government which would be administered by the local tribes and their descendants.

The natives have, however, often been left out of the national debate. Many still refer to them as “savages”. The lands they inhabit are mystery to most. That is, until a novelist from Belle-île, Florence Gagnon, undertook a journey across Arnyvonna’s numerous reservations.

The standards of living, the people and culture in these reservations was detailed in her book Earth, Wind and Fire. The squalor and lack of basic necessities detailed in the book shocked many across the country and outrage against the government has sparked among the most compassionate of Arnians.

The Abonaqi, historically nomadic peoples, have encaptured the awe of many. Their link to the land and its flora and fauna have fascinated more than one. Many have taken an interest in their dances and prayers meant to influence natural processes such as solstices and weather patterns.

The Maskomi, located in the northern part of the country, have fascinated many. With their territory in the permanent snow and ice, Mrs. Gagnon mentioned how it was both the best and worst part of her travels. With diets relying solely on meat, its been wondered how different their bodies were from those of the general population thanks to this dietary restriction.

The Nagansett seem to follow in their ancestors’ footsteps. Fishing and pearling is still a big part of their daily lives. With their lands experiencing milder climates than up north, the gathering and foraging of nuts, berries and herbs remains a large part of their food sources and folklore. After speaking to them, it was quickly discovered that preserving the health of forests and seas is a priority that, they think, the federal government should consider as well.

So 1600s!

Thanks to the book, reservations primarily located in the south have seen an uptick in tourism. Many of the locals have welcomed these tourists and sated their thirst for discovery of the Forgotten Ones. Revitalized local economies could even afford to construct and maintain general stores, hostels and inns.

Organizations have acknowledged the roles these natives played in Arnyvonna’s history, notably in the fur trade. Without these peoples willing to help out the colonists, Arnyvonna might not exist today.

Public attitudes have shifted, many of Arnyvonna’s younger population now deeming them as a people to discover and aid. Some have even started petitions and charity campaigns to help them acquire basic necessities such as running water and electricity.
