The national animal of Dionysia is the Dionysian Panther.

In ancient beliefs, a panther was a cat-like creature with a tricolor coat of fur.

According to medieval beliefs, after feasting, the panther will sleep in a cave for a total of three days. After this period ends, the panther roars, in the process emitting a sweet smelling odor. This odor draws in any creatures who smell it (the dragon being the only creature immune); they are eaten by the panther, and the cycle begins again.

The ancient Greeks believed the panther was one of the favored mounts of the god Dionysus.

Other names for this creature are pantera, pantere, and love cervere.

Only recently was it discovered that the Dionysian Panther did in fact exist, it’s also called the Dionysian Lynx. The rare animal is heavily protected and endangered.

Growing Members

The Caladine government, always eager to see the League of Sovereigns expand, has learned that Evinagioni has interested in joining the League. As such, Calidur has called for a vote of its fellow League members on the notion of granting New Evinio membership. The inclusion of New Evinio would also strengthen the League’s position on Etheloria.

Similarly, New Shadow Imperium has expressed interest in joining LoS as well. Accepting them into the league would solidify the north under the LoS.

Karrithia Navea Adriatic Democratic Empire

With the recent call of votes karrithia was surprisingly a little slow to react as it took three days for their decision on the matter to come through, it was no surprise that Karrithia was fully in favor of adding the two nations into the League of Sovereigns as they voted in favor of the two new members.

Expansive military rearmament

With the new states and an excess of cash for the year, the senate was called to redraw the budget. We have outsourced several projects to Olivio, and Uadidasi to produce Naval vessels, and may contracts have been awarded to several major companies both at home and abroad.

Nator State Sale delay

Due to the rearmament the sale of a droid army to Nator State has been delayed. The Techno Union has stated it has worked out a deal to delay the project by 2 years in exchange for a reduction in delivery prices.

Announcement from the Temple of Rosalind and the Commonwealth of Rosaria

New Rose Plan

With the new D.L, John Mindler, in charge, he and his administration have declared that "All though this country is all under the faith of Rosalind, there are still sinners who are let free in the streets, and it is time the Temple finally eradicates it." With the said action, he introduced the "One Family" Law, which banned the actions of both Polygamy and Adultery simultaneously. He stated that the Journal of Rosalind forbids both actions. It is expected that citizens within 1 month with more than one spouse, register one of them as their official spouse, and the other one to be disbanded from their new monogamous partnerships. The Adultery part of the law will go into effect immediately.

Although in Most of the country, very little backlash was seen, excluding the mostly agrarian province of Standrya, which is (in)famous for having a large population of Polygamous participating or supporting population. Massive protests are formed in the streets of the province's capital, Fraulind, although they seem to be non-violent. Police efforts have commenced in attempting to cut down the size of said protests.

Glory to the Temple, Glory to the Commonwealth, and Glory to Rosalind, may her Glory Prevail

Uadi-Karrithia Free Trade Agreement

Today delegations for the Technocratic Republic of Uadidasi and the Kingdom of Karrithia signed a free trade agreement between our nations, in some ways this is restoring what was already had economically prior to the downfall of PotE, with that said Uadidasi looks forward to the economic benefits this'll bring both of our nations.

Karrithia

Although this was a unexpected development from Karrithia’s side given the initial shock of the POTE losing key members and a brief feeling of betrayal even though it was not targeted, the mere existence of this trade agreement which was agreed to on behalf of karrithia by Delegate Alexander Pollux shows that karrithia is moving forward to restore their old economic relations with the Uadi even in the midst of their anti terrorists operations on the new border and handling the growing league of sovereigns. The path forward looking bright with greater economic development opportunities and perhaps even seeing this trade agreement evolve into a alliance spanning agreement made between the LoS and TEE.

ITS TIME FOR YOUR RANDOM DOSE OF NAHUATISTAN LOOOOOORE

THE SANGI CREATION MYTH: THE TALE OF THE GREAT WARRIOR, DIVINE MELODY, AND THE MOUNTAINS

In the ancient lore of the Sangi people, their creation myth begins with the divine melody of Baobao, their omnipotent deity. According to their myth, Baobao, the god of creation and protector of the Sangi, crafted the world through the harmonious notes of an ethereal melody. Each note brought forth a different aspect of the world, from the vast oceans to the lush forests and towering mountains.

In this tale, Baobao appeared before a great warrior, known far and wide for his valor and indomitable spirit. With a voice that resonated like thunder, Baobao commanded the warrior to take a mountain in his name, a task that would prove the warrior's devotion and strength.

Overflowing with reverence and determination, the warrior accepted the divine mission without a moment's hesitation. He embarked on a treacherous journey towards the designated mountain, his heart filled with the weight of responsibility and the desire to honor Baobao.

As the warrior ventured deeper into the uncharted wilderness, he could still hear the echoes of Baobao's divine melody in his ears, guiding him forward. The melodious notes stirred his spirit, igniting a fire within him to conquer the mountain and claim it in the name of his deity.

After what felt like an eternity, the warrior finally reached the base of the majestic mountain. Its towering peak reached towards the heavens, a testament to the grandeur and power of Baobao's creation. With a mix of awe and determination, the warrior began his ascent, step by laborious step, fuelled by the echoes of the divine melody that continued to resonate within him.

Upon reaching the summit, the warrior felt a surge of energy coursing through his veins. He dropped to his knees and bowed before Baobao, ready to offer his victory as a testament to his unwavering loyalty. However, as he raised his head, his eyes widened in disbelief. Baobao had vanished, leaving him alone on the mountaintop.

Confusion and disappointment threatened to consume the warrior's spirit, but then a realization struck him like a lightning bolt. If Baobao had disappeared, then it meant that the warrior could claim not just one mountain, but all the mountains in the name of his deity. Empowered by this revelation, the warrior stood tall, his heart ablaze with newfound purpose.

With resolute determination, he declared himself the conqueror of the mountains, shouting his allegiance to Baobao. With each proclamation, the warrior planted his sword into the ground, symbolically claiming the mountains for his deity. The echoes of his voice reverberated through the valleys, a testament to the warrior's unwavering faith and the indomitable spirit of the Sangi people.

And so, the Sangi people came to inhabit the mountains, living in harmony with the land and cherishing the divine gift bestowed upon them. They built their communities, embracing the challenges and blessings that the mountains offered, forever honoring their ancestral warrior and the resounding notes of Baobao's divine melody.

To this day, the Sangi people hold the mountains in the highest regard, recognizing them as sacred lands where the echoes of Baobao's divine melody still linger. They find solace and inspiration amidst the peaks, carrying forward the legacy of their legendary warrior and the enduring bond between mortals and the divine.

In conclusion, the Sangi creation myth weaves a tale of divine melody, a great warrior's journey, and the conquest of the mountains. It speaks of devotion, resilience, and the ability to find purpose even in the face of uncertainty. Through this myth, the Sangi people celebrate their ancestral heritage and the harmonious connection between their mortal existence and the transcendent realm.

In Dionysia, the national language is Greek but Latin is a large minority and is the official language for multiple provinces.

Greek is mandatory for all citizens to speak, so those in Latin-majority provinces are mandated to learn.

Come to Dionysia

Dionysia opens it's arms to all foreign infidels who wish to come see our beautiful nation!

Come along, visit the underground city of Dionapolis, hike along Mount Olympus, tour the countries forests and flatlands and see our amazing wildlife!

We have a strong and developed culture and some magnificent animals and flora. Hotels are high quality and cheap and tickets here too, come to Dionysia now!

With the establishment of new embassies, Dionysia has built public gardens and petting zoos connected to the embassies in Uadidasi, Maigna-Scientia and New Evinio, as well as a zoo in Calidur.

For Uadidasi, many flowers and fruits fill the garden, as well as a patch for cabbage, where you can find 52 Cabbage Toads hiding amongst the garden as well as 3 Roman Dear. You may be lucky enough to catch the embassy workers picking the fruit from the garden, where they will give it away free to visitors!

In Magna-Scientia, you can find a garden of lush grapes and berries with many flowers and ferns from the Roman provinces. Amongst the bushes, you may encounter a few of the two Brushtail Wildcats which reside within the garden or one of the nine Fern Cats. If you're lucky, you might find an embassy worker handling one of the two Roman Dragons at the embassy. But be careful, only trained workers can touch and hold them! All produce from the garden are sold to local markets and go back into funding the garden.

The New Evinio embassy garden is a orchard of Roman Apples, with Peacock Flowers filling the space in between the many trees, and twenty Bushtail Cats playing amongst them. At the far end of the garden, you might run into an enclosure where you'll find the resident Olympic Leopard. Don't get to close, she's a bitter.

The Calidur embassy zoo is where a singular Dionysian Panther roams it's enclosure, the most rare animal in all of Dionysia and it's national symbol. There's also two Olympic Leopards and twelve Olympian Foxes and on special occasions you can find the endangered Bluejays flying around their enclosure.

Dionysian musical history extends far back into ancient Dionysia, since music was a major part of ancient Dionysian theater. Later influences from the Roman Empire and North Westwellia changed the form and style of Dionysian music. In the 19th century, opera composers, like Nikolaos Mantzaros, Spyridon Xyndas and Spyridon Samaras and symphonists, like Dimitris Lialios and Dionysios Rodotheatos revitalized Dionysian art music.

The Heptanesean kantádes are based on the popular Latin music of the early 19th century and became the forerunners of the Dionysian modern song, influencing its development to a considerable degree. For the first part of the next century, several Dionysian composers continued to borrow elements from the Heptanesean style.

The most successful songs during the period 1870–1930 were the so-called Athenian serenades, and the songs performed on stage in revues, musical comedies, operettas and nocturnes that were dominating Athens' theatre scene. Notable composers of operettas or nocturnes were Spyridon Samaras, Kostas Giannidis, Spyridon Kaisaris, Dionysios Lavrangas, Nikos Hatziapostolou, while Theophrastos Sakellaridis' The Godson remains probably the most popular operetta. Despite the fact that the Athenian songs were not autonomous artistic creations (in contrast with the serenades) and despite their original connection with mainly dramatic forms of Art, they eventually became hits as independent songs. Notable actors of Greek operettas, who made also a series of melodies and songs popular at that time, include Orestis Makris, Kalouta sisters, Petros Epitropakis, Vasilis Avlonitis, Afroditi Laoutari, Rena Vlahopoulou, Eleni Papadaki, Aris Maliagros, Marika Nezer, Marika Krevata and others. Roman opera had also a great influence on the musical aesthetics of the modern Dionysians.

More embassies, more gardens

As embassies in the Shadow Imperium and Nyang opened, more gardens came along with them.

The garden for the Imperium is an indoor green house, mostly of vegetables and fruit bushes.

Connected to the greenhouse, an observatory filled with three Greek Hawks, six Northern Olympus Owl and five Bluejays.

For Nyang, a large garden full of fruits, vegetables and many many flowers and trees and bushes. You can walk down the long pathways in the garden, and along the path you're bound to see some of the fifty Chickens, twelve Spider Monkeys, twelve Dionysian Dear, six Roman Dear and sixty-one Cabbage Toads and two Owl Foxes.

Nahuatistan proudly claims the title of the birthplace of string music, a distinctive tradition that has flourished throughout its history. The country's rich geographical landscape, adorned with numerous mountains, has played a significant role in shaping the musical essence of Nahuatistan. The echoes of chords and melodies reverberate through the valleys, creating a truly immersive musical experience.

One cannot discuss Nahuatistani music without mentioning the "anban" – a lirone-like instrument that holds a cherished place in the hearts of musicians and listeners alike. The anban, with its resonant sound and gut strings, is an integral part of both solo performances and traditional folk ensembles known as "khankas." Its unique construction allows for the exploration of natural overtones, adding depth and complexity to the melodies produced.

The musical compositions of Nahuatistan are characterized by their reverberating nature, a direct reflection of the country's mountainous terrain. The harmonies created by skilled musicians effortlessly blend with the surrounding landscapes, creating a symphony that resonates with the hearts and souls of those who listen. The mountains serve as natural amplifiers, enhancing the power and intensity of the music, leaving a lasting impression on all who experience it.

Nahuatistan has been blessed with a wealth of talented composers who have contributed significantly to the country's musical landscape. Among the esteemed figures are Allana Mandak, Sikolkon Vidan, and Sonja Yan. Their compositions, rooted in the traditional melodies of Nahuatistan, have garnered international recognition, showcasing the depth and creativity of Nahuatistani music.

The musical traditions of Nahuatistan encompass a vibrant tapestry of melodies and rhythms that transport listeners to a realm of beauty and cultural richness. Nahuatistan's distinction as the birthplace of string music, its reverberating soundscapes, and the enchanting "anban" instrument are testaments to the country's deep-rooted musical heritage. With celebrated composers like Allana Mandak, Sikolkon Vidan, and Sonja Yan, Nahuatistan continues to inspire and captivate audiences worldwide with its soul-stirring melodies and harmonious traditions.

The modern music scene of the CIS is interesting. While rock, metal and pop gave become the largest contenders for the most popular genres of music, folk music, and Jiege, have become a rather important part of modern and historical Panzacolan culture. The folk music of the CIS is by and far dancing, working, and patriotic songs. The dances are split between fast dances, known for their repetitive but catchy melody which are easy to do step-dancing and polka dancing to. The second type are slow waltzes, usually with wide emotional ranges, from Midnight on the Water, to Sir Roger Culliveye. Patriotic music mostly stems from 3 periods. The war for independence, the Panza-Koronic war, or the Civil War, and upbeat melodies such as Battle Cry of Freedom, Lord Randy-Oh and We'll Fight for Old Bishop. Beige music is a style of orchestral music that was popularized in the CIS during the mid-1860s as concert halls and opera houses became more widespread and popular. Featuring uniquely Panzacolan melodies, featuring arythmic harmonies, odd-number time signatures, syncopation, sweeping and long irregular melodies often filled with emotion, representing the large open spaces and breathtaking natural scenery of Panzacola, as well as the free and individualistic characteristics of Panzacolan societym

Announcement from the Temple of Rosalind and the Commonwealth of Rosaria

The Government doubles down of The New Rose Plan

The Government, despite receiving slight Civil and International backlash, has decided to double down on their choice, claiming that "The protesters are degenerates and should be ashamed for their choices." They have also declared that all protesters of the new law will receive a sentence of no less than 5 years and no more than 20 years if protests continue. Police in the province of Standrya have begun taking more violent actions (that don't involve murder). Although the government has not commanded said actions, they have yet to condemn them. Along with the new actions taken by police, many protesters have gone violent themselves, hurling insults and slurs towards officers dealing with the protests, and acouple of riots in small towns and regions of Fraulind have occurred. The National Guard has been called into the region to attempt to return stability and is only authorized to take non-violent actions, only permitting self-defense in worse-case scenarios.

Glory to the Temple, Glory to the Commonwealth, and Glory to Rosalind, may her Glory Prevail
