The appointed representative of the Special rapateour For political oppression in Lucija Has requested documents From both governments. the documents they are seeking are to investigate claims of Imperial Orsonian Collaboration with the Tsardom. they are trying to investigate reported cooperation and torture. It is hoped that the new government in Orson Will turn over the reports

The Federal government has agreed to turn over a trove of documents originally possessed by the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs detailing the involvement of Turner's regime in Lucija.

Created a photo gallery of the main characters of Lucija if you all are interested.

Cybus1 wrote:“I cannot make any promises either, except that we will do our best to aid you. It is up to you and your countryman to do the needful, to fight, to struggle. I cannot fight for you, Amelia. The Russian must decide if he wants to reject centuries of tradition and faith to embrace madness. We can help tilt the scales, but we cannot decide for your people, unfortunately. If I could, I would do it in a heartbeat; the people have been led astray by idiots and worse, communists."
Von Seeckt paused for a few moments, remembering something.
“Our cultural attache, Viktor Logachev, once told me of a trope in your nations folk tales. The Tsar is seen as the little father; second only to your ‘God’, and a person who has sympathy and love for his citizens, who will help ease their earthly woes. If Russia has ever needed the little father, it is now. Have you memorized the tablet’s contents?"
He asked, prepared to remove and destroy the memory card.

Amalia listened carefully to Von Seeckt. She had been prepared to dislike the colonel, suspecting him of being yet another foreigner with much to say and little to offer. He was certainly set in his ways — Amalia had always felt Cybusians to be stubborn. They viewed the world in moral absolutes, and were unaccustomed to their worldview being challenged. Nevertheless, she appreciated that the Colonel got straight to the point. He was interested in concrete solutions, and unlike so many Lucijan politicians, Amalia could trust that his word was his bond. This could be a valuable contact indeed.

"I have memorized this information, Colonel. Spasibo, many thanks and may this hasten the downfall of our mutual enemy."

Amalia was pleased by their brief exchange. There was nothing further to say, and Amalia was not in the business of making empty promises. She stood to leave, extending a hand to seal the deal.

Just a few dozen meters away now, the lone partizan crept along the outside wall of the observatory. He could hear the murmur of the same voices from before, though he couldn't make out exact words. For all he knew, these were two guardsmen, chatting about video games on their smoke break.

Finding a window cracked slightly open, he carefully peered inside the observatory, making out the figure of a tall, thin man in civilian clothes stood some ways away. Although the man's back was to the window, obscuring the view, the partisan could just make out behind him the face of a woman, who needed no introduction. This was Amalia Fainberg, President of the Imperial Council since the time of Tsar Alexander. It was rumored throughout Lucija that she was the quiet power behind the throne — some even whispered that it was she who decided Fyodor would rule as grand duke.

Suddenly, the partisan's plan had turned from a routine surveillance mission to an altogether new operation. If he could capture Fainberg here in this observatory, far from the city center with no guard presence, he would be a hero to the revolution. Her life alone could be worth millions of rubles in ransom, not to mention the visibility it would lend to the cause of the Free Lucijan movement.

The partisan dashed back to the idling car where his two compatriots waited, explaining to them their sudden luck. Quickly, they exited and returned to the observatory, crouched in a line of trees where dense vegetation could safely conceal their presence. Each was armed with a Makarov pistol, in addition to an AK-74 assault rifle quickly grabbed from the trunk. The partisans would wait until Fainberg and her escort exited the building and returned to their vehicles, before making their move.

The Lucijan Justice Ministry has refused to turn over any documents concerning the sovereign affairs of the Tsardom, citing a lack of jurisdiction. The committee is partisan in nature and features no Lucijan representation whatsoever.

A spokesperson for the government has said that all contacts with Orsonian intelligence have ended following the Orsonian Revolution and the subsequent Kornilov Reforms in Lucija. All political prisoners from mainstream parties have been freed (separate from rebel communists and anarchists, who are charged under treason offenses).

Orson votes AYE on CPR 2024 I.

Declaration Against Decolonization:

The Federal Senate, following a majority vote, has issued an official declaration against decolonization and any attempt of secession by certain ethnic groups in Orson. Following the Kahroi-GALA conflict in central Australia, the Communist Party has desired to clarify its stance on all independence movements, especially as groups such as the Pan-African Movement and Indian National Congress advocate for further autonomy.

Party leaders have reiterated that the republican government must remain a centralized state ruled directly from Ravenwood, and that separatist organizations will not be permitted to disrupt the post-revolutionary order or Orson's transition towards a communist society. Opposition leaders in the Democratic Party likewise supported the declaration, unwilling to allow a second Separatist Crisis to emerge.

As a consequence, any political organization advocating independence from Orson is now legally prohibited, and the Federal Security Bureau will enforce the declaration via police raids on prohibited organizations.

Statement from the Communist Party's National Committee:

"The party must take a firm stance against decolonization, and all good communists must disavow themselves of said ideology.

We recognize the grave evils perpetrated by Orsonian colonists against various indigenous peoples worldwide and the necessity of justice. In response, we have instituted extraordinary measures to remedy the Empire's worse excesses, such as our ongoing campaign against racial segregation.

Nevertheless, this does not justify the systematic dismantling of the Orsonian state. Such division would doom Orsonian civilization to perpetual infighting, exploitation by capitalist powers, and permit Aturorists or other counter-revolutionaries to exploit the inevitable power vacuum for their own gain. The cost of self-determination would be a new separatist crisis unimaginably worse than its predecessor.

Comrades, rest assured that arbitrary divisions such as race or ethnicity will lose all importance or meaning as we progress towards a communist society, as such divisions are a product of bourgeoisie manipulation. All citizens, regardless of their ethnic background, are entitled to the fruits of the revolution."

West Africa continues "Indefinite Mobilization"
Even as the Orsonian Military plans to demobilize to a peacetime configuration the West African military has doubled down on it's mobilization planning to maintain a military force double that of Orson's planned peacetime force despite West Africa's much smaller population. They still plan to roll out cutting edge equipment to have a highly advanced force, planning to secure it's and it's IDEAL allies' defense by overwhelming military power by combining advanced technology with large numbers.

Although more cynical analysts have pointed out that the peacetime force already is that large and that the 'ambitious plans' are just rolling out better equipment to existing troops and reorganizing the structure of units to increase the volume of so-called force multipliers and the 'overwhelming military power' being more or less just propaganda to make Confederates and their allies feel more secure without needing to actually change any plans from those already established.

In response, the Defense Commission has authorized a plan to begin manufacturing tens of thousands of Pattern A Cylons, with the intent of using them to bolster the regular army in the event of a sudden attack by West African forces. The Cylons will be stored in clandestine bunkers deep underground, capable of being rapidly reactivated if needed.

High Command has also proposed increasing the army reserve to 3,200,000 personnel, though the Senate seems unenthusiastic about this. There is a strong desire to keep the army as small as possible, mainly to prevent it from threatening the fledgling republic or tempting jingoistic commanders into starting another war.

Miscellaneous News from the Tribuna de Santa Catalina

  • A settlement has been reached in the legal case between NBC Universal and the City of Santa Catalina, which recently terminated plans to construct a major Universal theme park on a brownfield site in East Santa Catalina. The project had been put on ice following substantial public backlash, including large-scale protests from community as well as immigrant groups. Following subsequent negotiations, Universal is now expected to break ground on a new site in Nova Praga, a major suburb of Santa Catalina, where opposition is considerably lower. The new site will have a dedicated stop on Nova Praga's tram network, and a larger overall footprint given the comparatively low population density. The resort is slated to become the first Universal Studios theme park in Latin America, and only the fourth outside of the United States.

  • The Wagain Seafarer's Mission, a charitable society for mariners with hundreds of locations around the world, has announced a major rebrand. The organization will now be known as the 'Navigator's Mission', working out of a redesigned headquarters building in Santa Catalina (where it is known as the Missão dos Navegadores). The new remit is meant to represent the evolving role of the Wagain diaspora, which have increasingly been filling into roles well beyond the Earthen seas, on the crews of interstellar cargo ships and passenger vessels. Wagains are especially over-represented in technical and professional roles such as navigators, ships' engineers, medics, and communications officers.

  • The most popular dating website in Wagondia, Nation's Dates, unexpectedly suffered a major server failure resulting in over a week of downtime. Millions of Wagains are said to have been interrupted mid-pickup line, thumbs idle and minds forced to contemplate emptiness of universe. Those surveyed, reportedly alone with their thoughts for multiple hours, found experience to be 'deeply unsettling' — more this evening from the Minister of Communications, who has pledged to prevent the so-called 'date which will live in infamy' from ever happening again.
