What is your nation's current government type and what historical events led up to it to cause it to be your current government?

The current governement type in Magna-Scientia is a Parlimentary Federal Republic. Magna-Scientia was once comprised of hundreds of city states, until the Foedus Tres (Pact of Three in Magna-Scientian), of Reh'lan, Sylvana, and Azghaza took over. in 400 BCE Reh'lan's Military might allowed it to coerce the other two cities to surrender. A young general in the Reh'lanite Army, Kura'van Sital, couped the city, and therefore took over all of Magna-Scientia. He took to regal name of Rista'van Sital, meaning "the first". The house of Reh'lan ruled for 2000 years, until 1607 CE, when a revolution took over Magna-Scientia, gaining the nickname of the "Amber Revolution" due to the color adorned by the revolutionaries. The leader of the Revolution, Tas'bel Rohnart, was elected the first Grand Chancellor of Magna-Scientia. Although Magna-Scientia was now a democracy, it wasn't until 3 years after the revolution ended, in 1614, that Yuvala Tirue proposed that Magna-Scientia be a parlimentary republic.

Currently we are a Unitary Republic, with a monocameral legislation named the State Duma. This government has existed for a little over 2 years now. Previously we were a semi-constitutuonal Monarchy, as the democratic systems of governance existed, but the monarch was still powerful. However, under Bogoslav Kutuzov, the more conservative structure of government is slowly moving towarss socialism, under the guidance of the Magdonian Orthodox Catholic Church.

Diplomatic News

Following the coup in the Olivian Federation and the removal of Olivers from power, Uadidasi has announced the reopening of diplomatic relations with the Federation.

Embassies have also been established with the nations of Stin, The Shadow Imperium and Magna

In addition, the nations of Poporo and Magna attempted to join Pact of the East tried to join but did not reach the minimum vote threshold required to do so. The Uadi government encourages Magna in particular to apply to the Council of Etheloria. Also this will mark the end of Uadidasi's role as the leader of Pact of the East and a new leader of POTE will be chosen before too long, until then the Uadi government will continue in interim.

Stinspansion 1.2: Colonial Boogaloo Twoo

Current Day: October 8th, 2035

With the recent expeditions sent to the continent of South Westwellia in the name of the Republic, and the frontiers on the continent having been solidified, the colonial capital city of Augustobonum. The overall population of the colony, as well as the nation of Stin as a whole has risen. The integration of the native population across all footholds on South Westwellia propels the total population of Stin up by 4,500,000 to a total of 84,100,000, this suddent population boom does lower the GDP per capita a little (although the overall remains the same), this is soon counteracted by the sudden increase and production of the various but useful staple crops of the colony.

The most eminent for monetary value on the great southern continent was the Colonists immediate monopoly over the growth of sugar cane and production of sugar cane products. All of these products include raw sugar, rum, molasses, and bagasse which is spread through the Republic of Stin, generating its own reputation. In order to curtail the overriding of other Stin-based alcohol products, such as the massive wine industry found in the country, almost all of the product that originate from the Colony on Westwellia are stamped with a "Fecit in Augustobono". The bill passed declaring this was produced after reports of the large amounts of product being made was reported, and the math done for the total potential income and economic impact was accounted for. The total amount of farm land that is accounted for in the colony is approximately 1,789,600,000 acres, and divided as such:

22.5% of the land is for Sugar Cane

10.7% of the land is for Coffee Beans

4.5% of the land is for Tobacco

20.4% of the land is for tea

20.5% of the land is for miscellaneous farming of beans, cotton, corn, and other products

21.4% of the land is for cattle raising

In total this raises the total production of colonial food to the following numbers, these numbers will be broken down into how exactly they are used and exported.

Sugar cane, which accounts for 22.5% of all arable farmland and agricultural space within the colony, thanks to the already in place extensive delta systems as well as the irrigation projects brought on by the colonial government as a way of employment for the millions of natives. At an average yield of 33.7 tones of sugar cane produced per acre, the total yield of the 402,660,000 acres is approximately 13,569,642,000 tons of raw sugar cane, chopped up and processed into bundles. Out of all of this sugar cane, 11,000 tons of it are used in the production of 10,000,000 liters of Rum which immediately go into the consumer market within the Republic. An additional 8,800,000 tons are used in the production of 800,000,000 liters of rum, which is purchased by the federal government for distribution among the military as apart of their weekly rations and monthly pay. An additional 18,700,000 tons of sugar cane is used to produce 1,700,000,000 liters of Rum sent almost immediately to export, primarily to nations such as Magdonia, Magna-Scientia, and other nations within the Council of Etheloria, Holy Orthodox Catholic League of Astoria, and the Global Defense League. Many liters of rum are sent to nations within the continent of Haylestia and northern Etheloria as diplomatic and economic gifts, such as; Olivio, Hansberg (which the Republic of Stin does not recognize as apart of the Federation of Olivio), Kampfflgzeuge, Kurbeland, Pandanama, Regmotto, Norinsk, the UCSSR, Korintheya (and to Korintheya they are labelled as military rations before being gifted to the naval presence on its Western coast), and the Shadow Imperium. 500,000,000 tons of sugar cane is used to produce 16,500,000 tons of molasses, which itself has various uses, and is exported across globally and back to the mainland Republic as well. The remaining 13,069,642,000 tons of sugar cane is turned and made into 156,835,704 tons of raw sugar. This sugar is also used for various things, such as being exported to hopefully every nation around the world cementing the Republic of Stin as a sugar monopoly, seeing as very few other nations hold the right land for such production.

Coffee Beans make up 10.7% of all of the land agriculture within the Colony, and this totals up to 599,112,389,280 of coffee beans, which are almost split evenly, with approximately half remaining within the Republic for the production of coffee and various coffee related products, and the other half being set aside in privately owned warehouses and some being exported internationally. The coffee beans produced are usually de-husked and processed within the facilities in the colony. These husks are then used domestically within the colony as fertilizer and animal feed. Coffee Bean husks, by a decree from the Prefect of the colony are banned from export and banned from leaving, including to crossing the ocean back to the mainland Republic.

Tobacco, which makes up 4.5% of the farmland totals in 80,532,000 acres produces a total of 82,545,300 tons of dried tobacco product. Most of the product produced does not leave the continent of South Westwellia, as it is largely smoked by the colonists. Although the product that does leave the continent often finds its destination within the Republic and its close neighbors anyway. None of the tobacco grown in the colony is used in the production of cigarettes, e-cigarettes, vapes, chewing tobacco, or dip. All of the tobacco produced is turned into cigars or kept as is for smoking pipes, seeing as they are the only forms of smoking products legal in the republic. Produced annually are just short of one billion cigars, with the remaining tobacco leaves just being kept simply as leaves, or put to other uses such as oil, and being ground up and processed for the creation of pseudo-paper products.

Tea accounts for 20.4% of all the agricultural land usage, equal to 365,078,400 acres, and in total yields 273,808,800 tons of dried tea leaves per year. These tea leaves however, most of the time do not make it to export (although based off of the sheer amount being produced, any percentage that does make it to market by no means is a miniscule amount). The tea leaves instead for the most part end up in animal feed, fertilizer, and other products. Such as being used in beauty products, all-tea leaf fertilizer (which provides nothing other than being more expensive and smelling nice), authentic air fresheners, natural soaps, and one of the main ingredients in leaf-based paper towels. The remaining leaves are often exported in compacted cubes, placed and sealed on pallets before being sold globally.

382,974,400 acres are used for the rearing of cattle, which total at the number of around 8,000,000 or so. While this does leave much of the space reserved for the cattle open, this number is simply an estimate and the beginning of something greater, TOTAL COW WARFARE. No, I lied. But this is the beginning of the large cattle farmers that the colony plans on having. This total acreage as well does not account for the fact that most of this land is still undeveloped wilderness, seeing as this is on the interior of the colony, away from the coast as to not pollute the ocean. Although almost all of the manure and other waste produced by the cows is flown to various farms as an organic fertilizer and nutrient.

The rest of the land in the colony that is used for farms has many varied uses. Some of the land is used for forestry and logging business. Although there are some within the colony who believe that this is a large amount of bullshit, and just the government coming up with an excuse for not fully developing it. The land is also used for the harvesting of other, smaller crops that aren't as important to the culture of Stin. Such as various potato crop, corn, and other useless and unfun junk like that including stuff such as soybeans, alfalfa, almonds, oranges, tomato's, and a few other smaller fruits. They all go to various uses and purposes, such as export and domestic shipping, consumption back at the colony, or being sold to the army for target practice.

With the total population of the Republic increasing to 84,100,000, and the large amount of land being put towards farming, production, and the export of such products the GDP of the Republic would increase by an amount equal to $329,916,185,359.30, for an average of ~$184.35 per acre. The GDP per capita would increase by $3,922.90, bringing in an additional $59,384,860,200 in government revenue, all of which would be spent on the colony during the monthly meeting held by the Aediles and Quaestors.

The complete overhaul of the Augustobonum road, rail, and ship infrastructure.

Being the capital of the colony, an estimated $20,000,000,000 is set aside to completely modernize, update, and maintain all of the buildings. The port of Augustobonum, which is going to be undoubtedly one of the most important cities on the East coast of South Westwellia. The subway system of Augustobonum is constructed with three main hubs. One along the coast is built for the subway cars, and as well as the freight cars that go in and out of the port. Composed of 18 above ground freight lines, and 16 underground subway tracks which go out throughout the city. The second major hub is named Benovolentia, on the North-Western border of the city, here there are only 6 subway tracks, and 8 freight tracks. From this hub, the rest of the colony is connected by a serious of mixed freight and passenger rail. The third hub is in the central-Southern section of the city, and is totally dedicated to the subway system to connect the growing metropolitan area.

The remaining money is spent on an interconnected rail system across the various exclaves of Stinnish territory. This takes up the bulk of the money spent on the colony, but the government has decided it to be worth it. Connecting the various plantations, and smaller population hubs along the coast an inland are built a serious of passenger and freight lines. To each town it is ensured that there is at least one passenger line and one freight line. To the larger plantations there is a single line built, acting as a combined freight and passenger line, although the passenger line is simply a small car attached towards the front of the train, it is nonetheless there. The money spent on the train line is to ensure that the tracks are kept in high quality, and that each station, hub, junction is properly equipped and staffed to deal with any issue that may arise. A portion of the money is spent in Augustobonum to train portions of the native population of South Westwellia to operate the trains in addition to what they may have been doing normally. As well as that, 'missionaries' if they could be called are sent by the government to the various farms and plantations across the colonies. Aided and supported by the Republic military, they travel to enlighten the natives on the ways of the Stinnish government, teaching them how to work on the plantations run by the citizenry of the Republic and mostly staffed by the non-citizen natives. They also introduce them to the paths to achieve citizenship; by joining the military or through a new option of working unpaid on the citizen run plantations for 15-20 years depending on how well behaved that they are. They also highlight the benefits to becoming a citizen of Stin, such as the right to free speech, right to vote, and the right to free travel.

The Magdonia Report: A Tale of Discrimination

Published by The Saint Louis Post.

Written by Gabriel Olson and edited by Jake Anderson

My grandfather was from Magdonia, he always told me it was a prison he had to escape. He would tell me tales of how he could never find work and had been harassed for his race. I thought it was overly dramatic about, I thought he was a finatic. After all, he wrote a letter every year to every local representative telling them to invade Magdonia to “free our people that were left behind,” but now after taking to other Karoish people living inside Magdonia, I have begun to believe him more. I don’t support an invasion, but it’s obvious something has to be done. I’m not going to pretend to be a neutral reporter, I’m here to deliver the facts and tell you that this is horrible.

We conducted a few polls and here’s what we found, 9.7% of Karoish Magdonians say they have suffered from a hate crime, 52% say they have faced discrimination in employment and 73.3% say they have experienced racism in one way or another, and finally 56.2% believe their government does not care for them/has not done enough for them. For comparison, only 4% of Beckerians have suffered hate crimes, 32.9% have faced discrimination in employment and 62.1% have faced racism, while 48.4% believes the government does not care about them. This is almost 79% worst than previously for Magdonia.

We have found in a majority of cases, punishment for crimes against Karoish Magdonians are often minimal in almost every field except cases of sexual crimes. Karoish Magdonians are often terminated from their jobs because of their race and vandalism against them is common, it seems people know they can go after them and get away with it.

This isn’t looking very good for Magdonia. After gathering the data, we decided to hold some interviews. Here is our transcripts, translated from Karoish.

[spoiler=Igor Olyvitsyn]

-Interviewer: “Hey, my name is Gabriel. And you are?”

-Interviewee: “My name is Igor, I was born in raised in Magdonia but they [Magdonians] will call me Olivian.”

-Gabriel: “Thank you for agreeing to talk with us today, Igor. Can you tell me about your experiences with Magdonian authorities?”

-Igor: “My home was firebombed one month ago. The Fire Department didn’t show up until around twenty minutes after the original ETA. I watched as the house I just bought burn down, it wasn’t until the houses of my neighbors were threatened before the local authorities decided it was worth stepping in and doing their job.”

-Gabriel: “And did they ever find the person responsible for this?”

-Igor: “No. Last time I checked in with the Police, they told me it wasn’t a priority.”

-Gabriel: “Is there anything else you want to say during this interview?”

-Igor: “I want to thank you for giving me a platform and voice, I feel my government has not made me feel protected. I love my country, this is my home, but if things don’t get better for my people [Karoish Magdonians], I won’t raise my family here.”[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Maria Pritzkova]

Interviewer: “Hey, my name is Gabriel. And you are?”

-Interviewee: “I am Maria Pritzkova. Karoish first, Magdonian second because that is how I am treated.”

-Gabriel: “I can’t thank you enough for letting us interview you.”

-Maria: “Whatever. I want to get this over with.”

-Gabriel: “Alright. Can you tell me what happened to you?”

-Maria: “My house was vandalized with nationalists symbols and writing that said 'go home, fascist.’”

-Gabriel: “Why do you think they called you that?”

-Maria: “Because of my race. Your country colonized this place long ago, and they fault me for it.”

-Gabriel: “Did they find the people responsible for the vandalism?”

-Maria: “They didn’t even take the report.”

-Gabriel: “Do you have anything else you want to say?”

-Maria: “When I was younger, I thought this was the best place in the world. I loved my country, but as I grew older I began to hate it. They never treated me right. I embrace it now. My allegiance is to my race first and my country second.”[/spoiler][spoiler=Anonymous]

Interviewer: “Hey, my name is Gabriel. And you are?”

-Interviewee: “I am a Magdonian. Nothing else.”

-Gabriel: “What is your story?

-Interviewee: “I was attacked outside a local movie theater. I was on a date with an ethnically Magdonian woman and I was attacked for it. They told me I was spoiling their race and my people were monsters. I was rushed to the hospital, I barely made it. My ribs were broken and I had serious head injuries, I am now permanently scarred because of this.”

-Gabriel: “And were your attackers found?”

-Interviewee: “Yes. There were three of them, they were arrested and sentenced to ten years. They got out on parole after ten months.”

-Gabriel: “Anything else you want to add?”

-Interviewee: “Yes. President Kutuzow, if you ever see this, please make things better. I gave you my vote for a reason.”[/spoiler]

We were lucky enough to get an interview with the President of Magdonia.

[spoiler]-Interviewer: “It’s an honor to meet you, Mr. Kutuzov, my name is Alex Hanson.”

-Kutuzov: “Thank you for having me.”

-Hanson: “So, Mr. President, do you have a plan on how to deal with the rising hate crime in your country against your Karoish minority?”

-Kutuzov: “My plan to deal with hate crime against Karoish individuals is, at least temporarily to station SGB agents within local communities, while we investigate individuals within the local governments. We will also be resentencing some private citizens for their hate crimes to serve out full sentences. My party, is also planning to reclassify how heavy penalties for hate crimes can be. We currently have over a thousand individuals under investigation and awaiting trial.”

-Hanson: “Do you condemn these hate crimes?”

-Kutuzov: “I do condemn these acts of hate, as it goes against the church's and the state's true message and meaning.”

-Hanson: “Do you think Karoish Magdonians should have any protected status?”

-Kutuzov: “I believe Karoish individuals should gain protected minority status."

-Hanson: “Do you support affirmative action and slash or reparations for Karoish citizens?”

-Kutuzov: "I do believe affirmative action is important to protect minority rights, however, we must be careful not to select candidates specifically for inclusitivity, and that, especially in the workplace and educational institutions, skill is what matters, not race. As far as reparations, so far, my party had promised to give reparations, however, only for those who suffered injuries or property damage."

-Hanson: “Are you aware of how many Karoish Magdonians experience hate crimes or discrimination?”

-Kutuzov: "Well, this is not information I have on hand, however I would assume it is quite frequent, especially in the east.”

-Hanson: “Do you know the percentage of Karoish Magdonians that the government does not care for them?”

-Kutuzov: “I do not know what they would say about how much the state cares. It is a terrible thing nontheless, that the Federal Security Bureau is currently investigating, especially among politicians and public servants like police and fire brigadiers. My ministry has always taught equality, and tolerance. Afterall, God did not create cultures,we did. We are all equal before Kurii. And I, as both a political and religious leader heavily condemn it."

-Hanson: “Thank you very much for agreeing to this, Mr. President, your cooperation has been very helpful. It was an honor to meet and talk with you.”

-Kutuzov: “The same to you. This is an important topic to address.”[/spoiler]

This is all to say, the Karoish people that have lived in Magdonia for generations, are mistreated and face much discrimination. We hope to put pressure on this topic to get change for the better going. I don’t expect my government to act, this is a matter over the citizens of another nation, but it is our hope that we can help give a voice to the oppressed.

Civil War Update

In the wake of the coup and shock of civil war, the state has finally begun to reform and reduce the rebels in most areas as the pro-coup forces are further reduced in fighting capacity. In the days and weeks following the attempted coup, the Imperial and Royal armed forces first concentrated on reducing the hold of Republican and Socialist forces in the Imperial half of the country, especially in the capital of Anatatia, with the help of the Tourkopoli, the city was eventually stormed with the Imperial and Royal flag being raised over the palace and legislature complex shortly after down on the 10th day of the battle to retake the capital.

The Tourkopoli annihilated South of the capital, both the pro-coup and Republican Socialist forces in a matter of days after an intense bombing and fighting. Tourkopoli troops, alongside the regular army and air force also began a blitzkrieg-style assault on the areas primarily controlled by the Landwehr and Honvéd in the direction of the city of Szabo. Despite the almost stunning success, videos soon began circulating on social media of Tourkopoli soldiers committing war crimes and atrocities such as the killing of civilians, specifically orthodox Ragyikian and Rhuthisian Honved and Landwehr troops. Because of this, several civilians have made pleas to the countries bordering Korintheya for aid.

In the Kingdom and royal territories, the navy, assisted by the Imperial and Royal forces has comfortably, albeit slowly, pushed the pro-coup forces back as well, to the point where the city of Szabo and some territory to its south is the last city under pro-coup forces control. While the fighting has been much more brutal in the northwest, the sustained air campaign and trench warfare that has started to take shape has caused immense damage to the civilian infrastructure of the region. Out of desperation to increase the speed of their victory, the navy has begun launching airstrikes at neighborhoods that are believed to house large populations of pro-coup forces rather than have government forces fight their way through them. Likewise, out of desperation to halt the offensive, the pro-could forces have begun launching airstrikes against scattered targets such as railroads.

As the fighting continues, the northwest is coming to a close, the anti-coup forces begin massing along the final pocket to the north where the last large pro-coup forces are, supported by Magdonia (Compagne) with a large contingent of forces. In the chaos, the Orthodox Prince Virág József is believed to have escaped to the pocket where he hopes for sympathy from the Magdonian forces there.

SPACE TIME!!!!!!

With months if not years of preparation completed the fateful day the Uadi space agency had waited for, for a long time was finally here. It was time to send a rocket up out of Astoria's atmosphere and land on the moon. The crew was to be composed of 6 Astronauts, 2 Uadi, 1 Nyangan and 1 Yuki and 1 Koronic and 1 Yunoran. who had underwent preparation for this for quite some time. While the country of Nyang has been to the moon before it hasn't been there for around a decade if not more, and the Uadi have never landed on the moon.

There were great weather conditions on the day of the launch Thursday the 27th of December at 08:00 hours Uadi Standard Time. All checks prior to takeoff yielded that there were no problems with the rocket. As such the launch was scheduled to go on ahead. Finally, the time for the launch came, as the rocket engines roared to life, many around the nation waited with anticipation but also worry, after all this was Uadidasi's first attempt to bring people to the moon. The heads of the Uadi Space Agency remained confident in their success chances though especially with some prior help from Nyang in establishing the Uadi space program. The countdown commenced and the rocket blasted off sending a small shock-wave to the surrounding area and filling the area with dusts. Flames burst out of the engines as the rocket roared upwards into the sky. Quickly passing through the layers of Astoria's atmosphere before successfully making it into space outside of the Astorian Atmosphere. The astronauts then did a broadcast update from there to the world below to let everyone know they were alright. Cheers were heard throughout Beiyo as once again Uadidasi had successfully launched a rocket with passengers into space.

Following a period of space travel and only having to fix a few minor errors on the way the Uadi Spacecraft prepared for landing on the moon. Once again the nation watched in anticipation. In the end as they couldn't leave the ship behind one of the Uadi astronauts offered to stay behind and man the ship, meaning the 4 who would set foot on the moon would be Uadi Astronaut Ui Suminoe, Nyangan Astronaut, Yunora Astronaut, Koronic Astronaut and Yuki Astronaut Hiroto Tanaka. Following this the ship successfully landed on the moon and the astronauts each places down the flags of their respective countries. This was broadcasted all over Astoria and met with cheers in Beiyo. We had done it! Uadidasi had successfully put a person onto the moon!

-There were no issues on the return trip home and they successfully splashed down safely in the Sea of Koronic before being retrieved by the Uadi government.

Reh'lan Talks

Representatives of Hansberg, Olivio, Magna and Uadidasi met in Reh'lan over the course of several days to sort out a massive international crisis that resulted after tensions rose between the Olivian Government and Hansberg within the Federation, as such Hansberg wanted independence. The following compromise was reached to ensure peace.

- Olivio will give and recognize full Hansberg independence

- All nuclear weapons possessed by Hansberg will be transferred to Olivio

- Military Equipment produced in Hansberg within a year prior to the signing of the treaty will be kept by Hansberg while the rest will go to Olivio

- Hansberg will join the GDC

- In exchange the GDC will give Hansberg nuclear weapons, resources to help rebuild the Hansberger military, economic offers with GDC businesses, trainers to help re-train a new army for Hansberg and a 37 billion economic aid package

- Stin also agreed to provide Hansberg an additional aid package aside from the GDC one

This was agreed to by the governments of Olivio, Hansberg, Uadidasi, Pact of the East and the Global Defense Council.

The Uadi government also extends our thanks to Magna for agreeing to host talks on short notice and prevent a major international war from beginning.

All Hansbergian citizens inside Olivio's border must either revoke Hansbergian citizenship or be expelled. Any travel to Hansberg is punishable with up to ten days in jail upon return and anyone traveling from Hansberg to Olivio for any purpose other than immigration will be deported upon arrival in Olivian territory. Any business and organization headquartered in Hansberg may not do business in Olivio and no Hansbergian product may be sold in Olivian territory. Any Olivian which moves to Hansberg will lose their citizenship within the Federation of Olivio.

Constitutional Reforms

Democratic reforms formerly blocked by Hansberg have been put underway. Olyvism was officially removed as the national religion and Hansbergian German was removed as a national language.

Autonomous Countries are not entitled to ignore the laws of the land and Federal Regions subdivisions were changed to be more specific and not up to a future act of congress. The official motto was changed from "One People, One Nation, One Leader" to "Forever, We March On". The Governance Act was added as a amendment to the Constitution, which now defines the powers of the Federated Government and it's limitations as well as establish dates for future elections to take place. President Olyv has announced elections will begin as soon as the senatorial and representative districts have been drawn.

Legislation designed to incentivize and support family growth begins passing seamlessly through Esmer's governance. This legislation encompasses a broad spectrum of measures, ranging from substantial financial rewards for families welcoming new members to robust social support systems that prioritize child welfare. The government introduces groundbreaking benefits such as extended pensions, comprehensive child and family security programs, and enhanced healthcare provisions tailored to meet the needs of growing families.

In recognizing the importance of providing nurturing environments for children, Esmer champions both national and foreign child adoption programs. These initiatives aim to ensure that every child, irrespective of origin, finds a loving and supportive home within the Principate to welcome them into our fold.

Esmer's population strategy extends beyond its borders, actively welcoming individuals who share the nation's values and ethos through carefully crafted emigration policies. These policies attract migrants who aspire to contribute to Esmer's vibrant and diverse society, enriching slightly its cultural tapestry while fostering unity among its people, assimilating all who come.

Central to this population expansion that the regime seeks is the cultivation of a deep sense of national pride and belonging. Esmer commits significant resources to promote cultural expansion, supporting a robust framework of educational programs and initiatives designed to instill patriotism and a sense of collective identity within its populace. Celebrating and nurturing the cultural diversity that thrives within its borders further strengthens the fabric of Esmerian society.

The Salvation Initiative

The Principate of Esmer launches a sweeping defensive and security initiative, undertaking a comprehensive array of measures aimed at fortifying its borders, safeguarding its populace, and fortifying its national security infrastructure.

At the forefront of this endeavor are the construction and fortification of various defensive structures strategically positioned across Esmer's territories. These structures encompass a network of fortified installations, bunkers, and defensive lines meticulously designed to protect against potential threats, both foreign and domestic.

Esmer invests significantly in establishing an intricate communication and surveillance grid that encompasses listening posts, advanced radar systems, and a sophisticated network of weather, communication, and GPS satellites. These technologies serve as vigilant guardians, offering real-time monitoring and rapid response capabilities, ensuring the Principate remains vigilant against any potential threats.

To ensure readiness and resilience in the face of unforeseen challenges, Esmer formulates robust contingency defense plans. These plans encompass a wide spectrum of potential scenarios, including foreign invasions, natural disasters, and other security threats. Additionally, the Principate constructs fallout shelters strategically dispersed across its territories, providing refuge and protection in times of crisis.

Esmer institutes a dedicated force, known as the National Salvation Forces, equipped and trained to respond swiftly and decisively in the event of emergencies or hostile incursions. These forces are the vanguard of Esmer's defensive capabilities, ready to protect the nation and its citizens at a moment's notice.

Furthermore, the Principate meticulously plans and establishes evacuation routes and passages—both known and covert—intended to facilitate the swift and safe relocation of citizens in times of crisis. These routes are designed to ensure the populace's safety and security during emergencies, enhancing the nation's overall preparedness.

Notably, this initiative not only prioritizes national security but also serves as a catalyst for economic growth. The construction, maintenance, and staffing of these defense and security structures bring about a substantial influx of jobs and opportunities into the Esmerian market, bolstering employment and stimulating economic activity across various sectors.

Many ads and marketing is done to bring more labourers domestic or foreign to work, even for a limited time, on those works that would be fitting, except of course national importance ones as the military centric. More and more is poured into the soul and salvation of Esmer.

Exploiting these resources sustainably becomes a cornerstone of Esmer's economic expansion, fostering industries that harness the plentiful natural reserves while prioritizing environmental conservation.

To further expand the economy, Esmer initiates innovative approaches beyond traditional industries. It invests in research and development, emphasizing technology-driven sectors such as renewable energy, biotechnology, and information technology. By diversifying its economic landscape, Esmer aims to create a resilient and forward-looking market.

PotE News

Following a recent meeting in Dokiru, as the PotE has expanded a great deal since its inception it was decided that having a common lingua franca for meetings and such would prove beneficial as to save money on translation materials especially. To clarify this is only for diplomatic purposes and does not replace any members respective languages, the votes were tallied with Koronese being selected as the chosen language, with Uadi and Nyangan also receiving votes. This should help expand cooperation and understanding among the PotE while also making it easier to hold international events and the works.

Furthermore, did you lay claim to those pixels? I don't believe so.

How about the fact that there are three parts on the mainland and the two islands roughly the same? It looks almost like I'm being insulted by the cartographer. I didn't lay claim because I want new players to set up native countries, not have you guys all cozy with colonialism. Just because it's modern doesn't make it morally better. I have heard not a peep out of either one of you about the original inhabitants, have I?

This was said when you were my opponent. I don't care about winning, just making a point. Seems last time I won, but failed to make my point.

I will be making an economic/territorial expansion post. War post? We'll see.

A Fateful Day In Beiyo

Having just gotten back from Dokiru, Koronic, the Prime Minister of Uadidasi Yui Liu is momentarily about to give a speech about the new Pact of the East lingua franca to eagerly awaiting spectators and the media outside of the capitol building in Beiyo. Many important members of congress are there as well as a number of lucky citizens that happened to be able to gain entry. The speech was going very well as the PM paused a moment to look at her teleprompter, however out of absolutely nowhere a massive cloud of smoke and small explosion occurred on stage. Uadi Police and the Military instantly surrounded the stage and audience area, only to discover that the Prime Minister, and almost everyone present at the event was now dead. Due to the nature of the explosion being likely a bomb identifying bodies would also be next to impossible. Motives are entirely unclear as well as the Prime Minister was well liked by the Uadi populace, some suspect foreign involvement but that is yet to be confirmed and likely isn't the case. The suspects either died in the explosion or got away but regardless a nationwide search is on to find them and bring them to justice.

Due to the chaos that comes with losing a solid part of your elected government the National Assembly has voted to declare a state of national emergency and General of the Uadi Military Yukari Hagikawa will be temporarily placed in charge of the nation. She was quoted saying that this will only be temporary as Uadi democracy is a fundamental pillar of the nation, we also want to reassure our allies in PotE and abroad, as well as any potential enemies that we remain equipped to respond to threats well and effectively. Regardless of her words though this has spread mass unease among the population following the death of the PM and many members of the National Assembly.

Well you must not have read either of my expansion posts did you.

If you are looking for trouble, as I said before, so be it. I will not be making the first moves towards you, this is up to you.

You described them as if they were uncivilized tribes. In 2036.

What are they then? Fantastic city builders.

The modus o. of the Republic of Stins treatment to non-citizens is the same, regardless of the continent. If you mistake my treatment of South Westwellia as something out of the ordinary then oh well.
