DEPUTY-PRESIDENT KAFNI ASSASSINATED
Deputy-President Gian Kafni (Judaic Union Party) was shot dead on Sunday night in the city center of Shanadu. The driver of the car, Jussi Nenbauer, also died in the attack, as police suspect RLA-affiliated gunmen in the assassination. Already high tensions have been exacerbated as Verdusa's government weighs options to deal with the recent uptick in deadly attacks throughout the country and for the ongoing border standoff with Rajihat. President Valtena Leo (Christian Union Party) and Prime Minister Yahya Deeb Nida (Islamic Union Party) condemned the attack and pledged support for the Jewish community in Verdusa, signifying that unity between the country's religiously-proportional political parties needed to be at the forefront of national importance.

Austrolis' economy slides into recession

Austrolisia - Austrolis went into recession at the end of last month, according to the country's official statistics office. The Austrolisian Statistical Institute said the economy shrank by 2.4% in the first quarter of 2024, from the previous quarter. It followed a 1.6% drop the previous quarter, making two quarters of falling growth - the definition of recession. A series of trade disruptions due to the ongoing tensions in the Tarijar Strait sparked a steep fall in Austrolis' currency, making imports far more expensive. President Amanda Ferosan and members of her Liberal Party have entered into talks with conservative leaders on how to break deadlock on several energy projects whose inflated costs are believed to be a large factor in the sinking economy.

Elbresia's economy on the mend after three years of stagnation
The Elbresian economy could be on the mend after it fell into a shallow recession last year as it battled high inflation and interest rates.

Elbresian economic forecasters have sited PMI rates increasing after years of slowed activity.

Allhofen- According to economic forecasters, the Elbresian economy has started to show signs of significant growth, which could indicate it’s set to break away from the stagnation of the past three years. The forecaster’s latest figures suggest the economy could expand by 0.3 per cent on a quarter-on-quarter basis in the second quarter second quarter, following a 0.4 per cent rise in the first quarter. Economists reported a rise in the composite purchasing managers’ index (PMI), a key indicator of the overall health of an economy, to an 11-month high of 54.0, after an uptick in services activity. Based on these figures, the wider economy of the Alliance of Nortuan States could be on the mend after it fell into a shallow recession in the second half of last year, battling persistent inflation and high interest rates.

Economists also said labor market conditions are gradually loosening, leading to a slowdown in pay growth and potentially supporting a rate cut. Recent noise from the Elbresian Economic Policy Committee has suggested there is uncertainty over the timing of a rate cut, with either June or August being considered. President Alexander Desende has vowed to slash rates, as part of his 2022 campaign promise which helped herald a major conservative return to legislative positions, but many have been unimpressed with the slow, albeit present recovery.

There has also been talk of a possible further cut to employee national insurance contributions, squeezed in just before the mid-parliamentary local elections this summer. However, some ministers deemed that scenario “relatively unlikely” due to fiscal constraints.

“Theoretically, the President could create room by gaming the rules and assuming even greater spending restraint,” one department head in the Treasurer explained. “But the current plans already look virtually impossible to deliver, and the government exacerbated that problem this week by doubling down on its existing pledge to increase defence spending,” he added.

Regardless of the rate of improvement in the Elbresian economy, any recovery comes as welcome news to the wider ANS community, whose shared currency is largely banked on the powerhouse economies of Elbresia, Besmenia, and Saint Offeat. All three countries, and really all countries in the ANS, experienced stagnation at the same time over uncertainty about the strength of the Norta, and as global prices of energy and trade security fluctuated. The continued efforts of Elbresian conservative leaders to opt out of the ANS membership has routinely been thwarted by liberal party lines, who say the continued economic cooperation and regulation of the ANS has made for a more streamlined and global economy, placing Elbresia in the top 12 performing nations in the world.

Shooting in Hátoà-pā-salvador

The scene at Saone Mortà Bar, Hátoà-pā-salvador


This Wednesday, a shooting was perpetrated in Saone Mortà Bar, Hátoà-pā-salvador of South Agōmòlām province, wounding 12 people.
The gunman, Muneer Afif Nasr; aged 18, held hostages for around 20 minutes and attempted to flee the scene before being wounded by police. Nasr stated that his intentions were to "kill the [Verdusan] owner" however the owner wasn't present, resorting to him opening fire at the customers. Fortunately, none have died and are expected to have a swift recovery, stated by the local hospital.
Police have called this incident an anomaly due to the small Rajit community's religious moderation in Wallenland; Nasr was further interrogated and told police that he was inspired by the events in Verdusa and had been recruited online by the RLA only a month ago, around the time of the Shanadu bombing on April the 11th. Nasr has been charged with 12 accounts of attempted murder and 1 account of property damage.

Beleroskov receives naval base in Wallenland
Beleroskov's military has been leased a naval base in northern Wallenland in agreement to increase supply of arms to the Wallenland government, amid an increasingly violent insurgency by the ELN militants on Agōmòlām. The base, formerly owned in entirety by the Wallenland military, was established on the island of Vollénlò by the Allied Forces near the end of the World War as a staging and supply facility, and has been leased over to Beleroskov for a 3-decade agreement. In return for base, the Wallenland government has received an expanded aid package which includes three set-to-be decommissioned naval vessels. The frigate and two destroyers will bolster Wallenland's navy profoundly, as the island nation's aging navy mostly consists of gunboats and older ships.

LIVE: Beleroskov recognizes Zakaraban government, deploys forces in treaty
A surprise summit in Koyevka saw Bjyala and Belskorski agree to diplomatic and military cooperation

The Zakaraban-centered military government has signed a military agreement with the Federation of Beleroskov, having agreed to lease one of its airbases and naval facilities to the Beleroskovian armed forces. The pact is meant to enforce Zakaraban's legitimacy as a continuous government as the prospect of international recognition for Feyt Ayat's autonomy has gained momentum. President Jirhanu Bjyala said in a surprise meeting with Beleroskovian president Vladimir Belskorski in Koyevka that "Beleroskov's alignment and endorsement of our legitimate government shows that while our nation is fractured as a result of this civil war, we have authority over our rightful territory." Beleroskov has deployed a contingent of 1,000 soldiers to the leased facilities near Zakaraban, with the agreement laying out a process of defense should Feyt Ayat and Zakaraban restart hostilities.

BELEROSKOV MILITARY BUILDUP IN ADULAN COUNTRIES CONCERNS W.E.D.A.

President Medeiros warned of Beleroskov's military expansion in Adulan nations

Quetana's foreign minister, Elisabete Pascoal, has met with the Beleroskov ambassador to voice concern for Beleroskov's expansion into Southeastern Adula over the past several days. The buildup of military forces in multiple countries has alarmed WEDA officials, as the country has rapidly modernized its military under Vladimir Belskorski, aligned itself firmly with Yuan, and has taken up occupation of bases leased from Wallenland, Zalluabed, and Tiqal, the former of which was vital to WEDA efforts in Terehan. WEDA's Olympic Council has met in Viitaniemi and is debating how to respond to the sudden change in geopolitical nature in the region, with sanctions being likely in the coming weeks. President Emília Medeiros said in an address from Vongane that the Quetanan government was weighing economic sanctions on Beleroskovian businesses in the region.

"Beleroskov has pursued a course of action that can only be described as antagonistic," Medeiros said, citing a meeting in Koyevka between Belskorski and the interim-President of Zalluabed's military-led faction, Jirhanu Bjyala. "They have no reason defensively for being in the region, so their control of military facilities in three nations in close proximity to WEDA allies constitutes a proactive intimidation, which we believe is the purpose here. To derail and take advantage of the peace processes underway in Zalluabed with the ceasefire, the insurgency wreaking havoc across Wallenland, and the oil oligarchs of Tiqal."

Beleroskov has been granted control of a naval facility in northern Wallenland, as the result of a military agreement which also saw the supply of several naval vessels, aircraft, and artillery vehicles to the Wallenland government. Beleroskov currently has thousands of troops deployed in Wallenland to combat an insurgency of the militant group known as the ELN. The same day, the military-led government in Zakaraban allowed Beleroskov to utilize military facilities in its territory under agreement to reach diplomatic recognition and protection despite an internationally moderated ceasefire. Should the ceasefire between WEDA-supplied rebels and the Zakaraban military collapse, CCA peacekeepers moderating the ceasefire-line would be caught in the middle with Beleroskovian forces now part of the affair. And Tiqal, earlier in the week, leased an airbase to Beleroskov's military, the same base formerly leased for a fourteen-month period by WEDA forces during the Terehan conflict. The Tiqal agreement has also given Beleroskovian companies sweeping investment in Tiqal's oil fields.

Southern Adula has long been a tense region for its varied geopolitical factions, but the introduction of the nuclear-armed nation into the affairs of deeply contested nations which had previously seen wide international involvement has raised concerns further. Moreso, unaligned nations in the region are increasingly finding themselves at the fingertips of foreign influencers, grappling to try and grab any control over the last vestiges of truly independent states.

"It's not diplomacy by Beleroskov that concerns us, it's the combination of a military necessity that comes along with their preconditions for diplomacy that causes great worry," foreign minister Pascoal stated. "Quetana and our allies stand ready to respond, likely with stronger sanctions than we've had to impose in many years against Beleroskov, but it is clear that increased militarization in the region by any adversarial government is a concerning issue and WEDA will go beyond sanctions if we are forced to do so. It seems the days of the UCSS are returning in one form or another, and in our regard and opinion it is returning in its utmost concerning form."

Behinia will back Rajihat if conflict with Verdusa erupts

2024 Midterms in Just Under 2 Weeks

With the 2024 Bentho Midterms in just under 2 weeks, the current political party in charge, Libertadismo, has been predicted to trance this election by a majority. Still, voters will be voting on a new constitution, which will be the constitution for Bentho in nearly 20 years.

The new constitution will primarily discuss civil rights and socio-economic issues. Same-sex marriage, if the constitution is passed, will be under Article 1, which is freedom of speech and movement. The right to healthcare is another article that will be added if passed; under this article, abortion would be forged into the constitution. But the most surprising one is that states cannot leave, but if they do, they will be cut off by electricity, and all money going into that state will be stopped.
