NEWS
Hyland: Hylandic and Unikean troops have began to amass on both borders signaling conflict may be drawing nearer. Hyland has also announced the creation of a nuclear weapons program and has a recieved a couple nuclear weapons from Compagne. The Compagnian Orthodox Church has also officially been established in Hyland.
The Kingdom: Meanwhile Aura's government has announced that non-inferno area Unike has been fully repaired to pre-war standards, thanks to Olivian help this went by far faster than expected. However tensions have started to flare between some Rikoian citizens and some Olivian Unikean citizens over the Olivian Unikean's perceived loyalty to Olivio. In order to combat this the Queen has announced martial law will be enforced in multiple Unikean cities. There have also been a few protests advocating for the return of the Constitutional Monarchy but they were put down by very harshly Unikean security forces.
Catgirlboss, Olivio
The Tazarskian Question.
Following weeks of unrest over the Thalassian Union in the Compagnian dominated regions, and the capital, Jaquemart Rethóndes held a rally last night, inciting his patriotic and pro-neutrality ideals to a massive crowd of 20k people. His fiery speech invoked controversy among more liberal elements, but he has been a favorite in leading the charge for the first Compagnian-descendant Prime Minister, stating
"Long have we been a silent minority, but now we shall speak for the true values, the blood of Tazarskia, that should never be spilt in foreign grounds. Neutrality is our only option in a world where the world can be annihilated with the press of a button.
His campaign has raked in serious donations from business who benefit from his high tariff, low tax mentality, and also among common citizens who also benefit from a cut in taxes and his promise to cut loose bloated institutions and projects in favor of streamlining and funding towards projects that have shown success.
Rethóndes for President! Breaking ground since 2026.
Unike, Catgirlboss, Olivio
Coup in Uilyu
Socialist Liberation Front forces stormed the Unikean capital of Uilyu declaring the end of the Monarchy and the start of the Socialist Republic of Unike in exchange for Compagne and Olivio support a compromise was made for the Unikean nation to continue using its Market Socialism economic system.
In exchange:
Hyland receives full independence and recognition from the new Unikean Socialist Republic
Comapgne and Unike restore ties and trade will resume be the two.
Hyland and Unike will establish formal ties to help with diffusing future tensions.
the Socialist Republic of Unike will be modeled after the Federation of Olivio, while reaffirming our existing commitments to NOSHTUCKS and the Thalassian Union.
The constitution of Unike will be based on the constitution of Olivio and Unike will commit to following Olivian foreign policy
Ethnic Hyander majority regions of Unike will have a referendum at a later date about joining Hyland.
Exisiting foreign ties of Unike will be maintained and Hyland will seek to establish foreign ties with more nations in the future.
Long live the Socialist Republic of Unike!

Biology and Nukes
President Olson and Tazarskian Prime Minister Thomas Lacoste came to an agreement to open a join-biology research program and a student exchange for any students in the field of biology and zoology research. Tazarskian researchers will have access to on-going research and projects not yet public and have access to all Olivians facilities. Tazarskia has given Olivio the schematics and instructions on the production of nuclear arms.

New Species of Frog Discovered
In a border town in the Socialist Republic of Unike with the incinerated area researchers have found a couple of Great Unikean Frogs (which are closely related to their Olivian counterparts) that now have entirely violet skin. Unikeans scientists are baffled on what caused the change but have discovered a widespread amount of these frogs in the southern more interior regions of the SRU.

Yes, i am Cult of da lamb is cool, though i dont recall this....
Easterndeutschland
I'll ask my roomates, make sure their not tampering with anything. Ever since i introduced them to it, they've taken an eerie liking to parody other accounts they see when i play, although this is the only one im aware about, as they don't tell me their others. I'll have to make sure no funny business is going on, as i don't wish for this to happen again. I tell them to just use their other devices, but they just use mine after complaining 'but my phone screen is too small' [as my device isn't password locked yet, working on that soon] and its more accessible. I'll have to limit their use of my computer, and check the history too for good measure. I'll look into it and make sure they aren't doing anything suspect. [though judging by this, i assume they were doing some stupid shenanigans] I'll ensure they don't do this again.

My favorite kind of book >:D
It's a very... very confusing read, but definitely one of the most immersive literary pieces I've read up there above Fahrenheit 451.

NEWS
The Socialist Republic of Unike has formallly withdrawn from NOSHTUKS, do to the sudden disappearance of Nova Roma from the world stage being in the alliance we deemed no longer necessary. We will however remain in the Thalassion Union and back up our Olivian Allies. Additionally referendums were held in ethnic Hyander majority regions of Western Unike with all of them electing to stay in the SRU. Hyland has officially accepted the results wanting to honor its previous word to do so.
Both Hyland and Unike have been fully rebuilt to pre-Unikean Civil War status not counting the Inferno Area and have begun discussion on building a transnational railway between the 2 nations. The goal of this project is to modernize public transportation in both countries, and will also include an expansion of bus routes as well in major cities. It is an important first step in collaboration between the 2 countries.

TAZARSKIAN NEWS
The election results are in and Jacquemart Rethóndes has won a majority vote, securing 48-50% of the vote according to the latest poll. This is the start of a new era as the new Prime Minister looks to go through a more Neutral route and "Tazarskian first policy."
Thoundsands Supporters of the new president gathered in the heart of Soteria, The capital to celebrate the victory. They cheered and waved the nation's flag as is scheduled to soon Rethöndes deliver an opening address Tommorow.
In other news in regards to this, a little 8 year old Compagnian-Tazarskian girl named Jacqueline Dupois is trending online because of a cute message she sent in a video to the new Prime Minister take a look at this: Mr Rethòndes, I want to say that I am so so so happy you won! Because, I know that you will make me and everone proud by putting Tazarskia first, and I wish you the best! my dream is to be like you and one day run for office.
And that's it for today, we'll keep you updated!

[B]TAZARSKIAN NEWS
[Spoiler=news]Reporter: Everyone, we are live! As, the speech has been reschedule to today. And also, another update. The 8 year old girl that has been trending for the cute "goodluck" message to our new Prime minister has been invited ,Jacqueline Dupois, is right there as you can see she's walking to the podium to meet her idol Mr Rethòndes with one of her adoption center's care taker.
Hello, Jacqueline. Rethóndes smiled
Jacqueline Dupois stands at the front of the crowd, smiling as she shakes hands with the new Prime Minister, Jacquemart Rethóndes. She looks up at him with her big, bright eyes, and he bends down to her level to shake her hand firmly.
"Hello, Mr. Rethóndes," she says, her voice small and quiet. "Nice to meet you."
Rethóndes smiles at her, "It's nice to meet you too, Jacqueline. And thank you for your support. It means a lot to me and our country."
Jacqueline nods her head, "No problem. I'm glad to help."
Rethóndes signaled her to sit down next to his husband Pierre Dupont who gladly smiled at Jacqueline.
Mr. Rethóndes steps up to the podium and clears his voice, "Hello, everyone. I'm honored to be here as your new Prime Minister, and I want to thank all of my supporters for electing me to this position. He stares at Jacqueline smiling, as Jacqueline giggles. As the first LGBT Prime Minister of Tazarskia, I'm proud to serve you and our beloved country.
Starting today, my focus will be on building a better homeland for all of our citizens. My first order of business is to withdraw Tazarskia from NOSHTUKS. This organization no longer serves a purpose and has only been a drain on our resources. I will prioritize the needs of our citizens and focus on improving our country rather than engaging in unnecessary foreign wars.
Another issue that is close to my heart is non-binary rights. It's time to recognize and respect the identities of all people in our society. I will work tirelessly to ensure that non-binary citizens have equal rights and protections under the law.
Furthermore, I intend to shift our economic policy towards a high tariff, low tax mentality. This will streamline our institutions and direct funding towards successful projects, cutting out wasteful spending.
As your Prime Minister, I am committed to improving Tazarskia and making it the happiest country in the world. We will prioritize immigration and make Tazarskia a welcoming home for all who wish to call it so. Additionally, I plan to establish comprehensive programs to support stressed and depressed teenagers, with a focus on promoting happiness and psychological well-being.
To make Tazarskia a better and healthier place, I will also implement multiple policies, including anti-smoking regulations, waste management laws, and a mandate for recycling. We will also teach the importance of caring for our planet to young children, including making schools shorter and focusing on emotional support to foster a vibrant youth and country. To improve the quality of life for all, we will also lower taxes for the working class and raise taxes for the rich, investing in partnerships that will benefit us.
Lastly, I believe that it is essential to maintain a strong military to protect the sovereignty of Tazarskia. We must remain vigilant and maintain our armed neutrality to ensure that Tazarskia's interests are protected and that we remain a strong and independent nation. In this way, we can ensure that we are well-positioned to defend ourselves from any threats that may arise in the future. Therefore, I will make sure to invest in our military to ensure that we remain strong and prosperous. We must always be prepared to defend our freedom and our right to be an independent and sovereign nation, regardless of the challenges that may arise.
Thank you, everyone.
As Jacquemart Rethóndes wrapped up his riveting speech, the crowd erupted in cheers and applause, including the younglings. Jacqueline Dupois, standing among them, couldn't contain her excitement and ran towards the Prime Minister and his husband, Pierre Dupont, while the were kissing and hugging to hug them both, wrapping her arms around and giving them big and tight hugs as they kissed, eliciting even more cheers and screams of joy from the younglings.
And that's all for today![/spoiler]

Question of the Day
This can be either for Astoria's Roleplay (which you should join if you haven't :3) or for NationStates in general but: is your nation based on any real world nation and if so which one?
Catgirlboss
Raswa is based on the Thirteen Colonies, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Republican Spain, Imperial Japan, and Bulgaria.
Unike
My nation is based off of two things:
The fictional nation of the Amazons, which is where I got the idea of having a matriarchate instead of an egalitarian one, I thought that would have been a nice change of pace from conventional nations, so that's why I had chosen that to be my foundation.
The second is... A bit controversial, it's not based of a singular nation (or organization on that hand), but I based it off numerous militant religious organizations of the modern era, you can see why this is ah, controversial :P
Unike, Dairyc, Catgirlboss
That's quite a variety of different nations lol. Is it that the different factions of Raswa are based on said different nations or just the nation in general?
Mythology is always a fun base for a country! And I can see what you mean for the second part :3
I would say that it's more like the military history those nations inspired the history of Raswa. Amerikia shadows the Thirteen Colonies, but Nerea, Raswa, and Seraphland are less strongly linked to Earth and there's a hybridization with factions from Dune.
Unike
Interesting, definitely a cool nation design!
Dairyc
holy
Mine is based off a video game
Unike, Catgirlboss
Nope
Unike, Catgirlboss
Japan! All of Koronic is based off of Japan, except the religion, which I made myself :)
Unike, Dairyc, Catgirlboss
Compagne is based on a mix of France and the Netherlands
Unike, Catgirlboss, Tazarskia
My RP nation is based on South Korea, we are even in the same time zone (UTC +9).
Catgirlboss is just based :3
Unike
Hansberg is basically Austria if it was actually Switzerland if it decided to merge armies with a frog loving United States.
Unike
Japan is epic dude
Koronic
you're 100% right
JAPAN!!!!!!!

How's everybody's day going today?
Also my responses to the QOTD are framed as this to not clog the RMB Lol
[spoiler]
Yup a fun one I've heard too!
What did give you the inspiration for it then?
Epic
Which definitely makes sense given your strategy in RP :3
By any chance do you like Korea and yes Catgirlboss is just based :3
I love that the US analogy is still going. [/spoiler]
