[list][sub]Addressing the fellow delegations attending the climate summit, Xi Jinping would sit behind his powerful wooden desk. A painting of the Great Wall and a flag of the People's Republic of China would decorate the background. As with Xi Jinping's addresses to the United Nations and other international organizations, Xi's words to the delegations of the climate summit and to the governments of the world would highlight China's commitment to common development and diplomatic cooperation would be highlighted.
[/sub]
[list][sub]PRESIDENT XI JINPING, People's Republic of China 我们应该像保护我们的眼睛一样保护自然和保护环境,而对于中华人民共和国而言,发展中国家在促进全球气候变化方面对人民的气候起着至关重要的作用。我们必须致力于以人为本的方法。在中国,我们已在正在进行的五年计划中承诺严格控制燃煤电厂,到2026年,我们将实现逐步淘汰燃煤电厂的目标。中国为通过《巴黎协定》作出了重要贡献,并为执行该协定作出了积极努力。自成立以来,中国的目标一直是扩大其国家自主贡献,并采取更加有力的政策和措施。我们的目标是在2030年之前使二氧化碳排放量达到峰值,并在2060年之前实现碳中和。
今天,我想宣布一些2030年的进一步承诺:中国将把其单位GDP的二氧化碳排放量比2005年降低65%以上,将非化石燃料在一次能源消费中的比重提高到25%左右,并增加森林蓄积量比2005年增加了60亿立方米,风能和太阳能的总装机容量超过12亿千瓦。
中国始终恪守承诺。在我们新的发展理念指导下,我们将在追求高质量发展的同时,全方位促进绿色经济和社会发展。我们将采取坚定的步骤执行刚刚宣布的目标,并为应对全球气候挑战做出更大贡献。[/sub]
[sup]We should protect nature and preserve the environment, like we protect our eyes, and to the People's Republic of China, developing nations play an important and crucial role to global progress on the people's climate. We must be committed to a people-centred approach. In China, we have pledged strict control over coal-fired power plants in our ongoing five-year plan, and by 2026 we will meet our goals to phase it down. China has made important contributions to adopting the Paris Agreement and has made active efforts toward implementing it. Since starting it has been China's goal to scale up its nationally determined contributions and adopt more vigorous policies and measures. We aim to peak carbon dioxide emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060.[/sup]
[sup]Today, I wish to announce an update on further commitments for 2030 made by the People's Republic five years ago: China will lower its carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP by over 65 percent from the 2005 level, increase the share of non-fossil fuels in primary energy consumption to around 25 percent, increase the forest stock volume by 6 billion cubic meters from the 2005 level, and bring its total installed capacity of wind and solar power to over 1.2 billion kilowatts. We are on track to reach these goals, and the Chinese nation stands true to her word.[/sup]
[sup]China always honors its commitments. Guided by our new development philosophy, we will promote greener economic and social development in all respects while pursuing high-quality development. We will take solid steps to implement the targets just announced, and contribute even more to tackling the global climate challenge.[/sup]

Being the further involvement of space related activities and operations, which includes not only space exploration, but the further development of technologies that will benefit both participating countries and potentially the global economy and everyday way of life. Which includes the development of related technologies.[/sup]
[sup]Indonesia as of late making headline news with the rapid success from it's recent launches into low orbit via satellite missions, has recently caught the attention of researchers and officials alike in India. Who had wished to for the first time in the nation's history to sign on with Indonesia in it's role in the further development of technology in both countries existing space programs, but to contribute both nation's role in tackling issues that not only make the lives of citizens in India and Jakarta better and well off for further generations, but to potentially assist in the solving of obstacles and potential issues that may affect planet Earth now and in the near future.[/sup]

[/sub]
[sub] "एक शांतिपूर्ण, लेकिन दृढ़ निश्चयी व्यक्ति ने एक बार कहा था। भविष्य इस बात पर निर्भर करता है कि हम वर्तमान में क्या करते हैं। एक वकील, जो बाद में उत्पीड़न के मामले में अहिंसक प्रतिरोध का चेहरा बन जाता है, जो बाधा के बावजूद, एक देश को एकजुट करता है और प्राप्त करता है।" असंभव। गांधी जितने बुद्धिमान थे, वे अकेले नहीं थे। वह दोस्तों, परिवारों, पूर्ण अजनबियों के साथ थे, आधुनिक भारत क्या होगा, इसकी बहुत नींव है। उन्होंने एक देश को न केवल उन लोगों को लाभ पहुंचाने के लिए एकजुट किया, जिन्हें हम प्यार करते हैं और संजोते हैं। वर्तमान में, लेकिन उन लोगों के भविष्य की रक्षा करने के लिए जो उन्हें प्यार करते हैं, जो उन्हें प्यार करते हैं। उन्होंने अपने लोगों की सुरक्षा के लिए अपना काम किया है, अब मानवता को सुरक्षित करने से पहले यह बहुत देर हो चुकी है। [/sub]
[sub]"आज, देश अपने कार्बन पदचिह्न को 30 से 35 प्रतिशत तक कम करने के लक्ष्य के साथ आगे बढ़ रहा है। हमारा प्रयास है कि इस दशक में हमारी ऊर्जा जरूरतों में प्राकृतिक गैस की हिस्सेदारी को चार गुना तक बढ़ाया जाए। इस पर भी काम लगभग जारी है। आने वाले पांच वर्षों में तेल शोधन क्षमता दोगुनी हो जाएगी। आज, प्रति इकाई लागत (सौर ऊर्जा की) पहले 12-13 रुपये से 2 रुपये तक कम हो गई है। आज, सौर ऊर्जा देश की प्राथमिकता बन गई है। 175 गीगावाट नवीकरणीय ऊर्जा उत्पन्न करने की प्रतिबद्धता और मुझे विश्वास है कि हम 2025 से पहले इसे हासिल कर लेंगे। इसके अलावा, 2030 तक हमारा 450 गीगावाट का नवीकरणीय ऊर्जा लक्ष्य, एक बड़ा लक्ष्य, समय से पहले ही प्राप्त हो जाएगा ... मुझे उस पर विश्वास है। "[/sub]

[sub]"What is more important than problems is your purpose, preference and your commitment. This is not that you are facing a challenge for the first time in your life, or that this is the last challenge. It is not the case that a successful person does not have problems. But those who accept the challenges and defeat them are the ones who succeed."[/sub]
[sub]"A peaceful, but determined man once said. The future depends on what we do in the present. A lawyer, who later become the face of non-violent resistance in the face of oppression who despite the obstacle, united a country and achieving the impossible. Gandhi as wise as he was, he wasn't alone. He was with friends, families, complete strangers, the very foundation of what would be modern day India. He united a country not just to benefit those that we love and cherish in the present, but to safeguard the future of those who will cherish the ones that they love. He has done his part to safeguard his people, it is now our part to safeguard humanity before it's too late."[/sub]
[sub]"Today, the country is moving forward with the goal of reducing its carbon footprint by 30 to 35 per cent by 2030. Our effort is to increase the share of natural gas in our energy needs by four times in this decade. Work is also on to nearly double the oil refining capacity in the coming five years. Today, per unit cost (of solar power) has come down to less than Rs 2 from Rs 12-13 earlier. Today, solar power has become the country's priority. We have made a commitment to generate 175 gigawatt renewable energy and I am confident that we will achieve this before 2025. Also, our renewable energy target of 450 gigawatt by 2030, a big aim, will be achieved before time...I am confident of that."[/sub]
[sub]"India will honor it's commitment to the decreasing of CO2 omissions and other harmful environmental practices that harm our planet. To the further development of affordable and renewable energy sources to not only those living in India, but to those around the globe. If our future is to remain uncertain, then we are not doing our part to ensure that humanity has a future."[/sub]

Riyadh, Kingdom Of Saudia Arabia
April, 2024 - Kiir Visits The Kingdom
The Kingdom of Saudia Arabia had suddenly shoved itself back into the world stage and the security affairs of the Red Sea which has intrigued the Sudanese leadership.
However for Sudan it seems that Riyadh has repeatedly expressed the need for positive and friendly relationship between Khartoum and Riyadh. As a result Salva Kiir had announced that he will be visiting the capital of the Arab kingdom in the hopes of establishing a solid and clear foreign policy between both nations.
A week after the announcement, Prime Minister Salva Kiir departs Khartoum New International Airport in route to Riyadh for an official visit with the Saudi monarchy signalling communication and openness between Khartoum and Riyadh. the plane then touches down in Riyadh as he gets ready to disembark and meet whoever awaits him at the door.

SKIP TO MEETING AT THE PALACE
King Talal al-Saud, wearing a charcoal double-breasted suit, would sit in his throne while Prime Minister Kiir would be given a comfortable throne-like armchair.
King Talal al-Saud:
[list][sub]"Prime Minister Kiir, it is truly a pleasure to meet you and I am gracious to have you here in Riyadh. Sudan is surely a jewel in East Africa and knowing the relationship that Khartoum possesses with Iran, Riyadh believes that it is essential for Saudi Arabia and Sudan to operate on the same page and really align some of our key interests, policies, and initiatives to spread that economic growth and further expand friendships and partnerships among our people collectively."[/sub][/list]
Arab Federal States
Prime Minister Kiir would this time be wearing a gray suit with a black shirt and a green tie and of course with him is the pin of the green triangle banner and the infamous Cowboy hat gifted by President Bush.
[list]PM Salva Kiir :| "your majesty the honor is all mine. I do believe it is very important for a country to grow in the region there must be co-operation and stability amongst its neighbours. After all, a fire in one country in a very close community like the middle east and north Africa, then the fire would be bound to spread. It's important that we help eachother"
Alzarikstan
King Talal al-Saud:
[list][sub]"Precisely. It is essential that the foundations of cooperative spirit and an understanding toward genuine productivity is fostered. Hence why i firmly believe that for an increase in development for the Red Sea region, we must work together willingly and consistently. I am suggesting reductions in bilateral trade barriers, further Saudi investments into Sudanese agriculture and manufacturing, increased exports to both countries, joint energy development programs and initiatives to implement modern technological practices and procedures, and a robust cultural and educational exchange program."[/sub][/list]

| ADDIS ABABA, THE EMPIRE OF GALLA |
| Arriving in Addis Ababa, Empress Esfir would come out of the jet. This was her first foreign visit as the Empress of Iran, and therefore held major significance. Her meeting with the Saudi King and the Sudanese Prime Minister brought much wanted effects and her meeting with the Gallan leader was hoped to do the same. Her own image and Iran's image had been tarnished recently in Galla, but to Empress Esfir Galla was a place that couldn't be ignored or left out in Africa, as she underlined in her public comments.
Stepping out, she made her way forward. Wearing a long dark purple dress, with her hair in a beautiful bundle with golden sharp tips coming out of it, a white overflowing scarf over the dress, purple high heels and golden necklace, the elder Empress was like a living statue. She was well prepared for a cold meeting and made her way forward with a slight smile to whoever was to greet her and take her to the Gallan leader. |
Philanialle, The Galla, Metropolitan Francais, Abessinienreich
Unlike previous meetings that have been hosted in Addis Ababa, there is no fanfare or celebration for the Empress' arrival. Instead, there is a simple and unassuming welcome. MERI Mekdella stands at attention near a vehicle, wearing the usual white military fatigues and a black cape. She approaches the Empress with an eased stance.
[list]| [sub]MEKDELLA BREHEN, MERI of THE GALLA[/sub] | "Empress Esfir, it's my honor and pleasure to host you in Addis Ababa today. I understand the circumstances are less than favorable for you, but perhaps we can smooth things out."[/list]
She offers the Empress a small yet genuine smile.
[list]| [sub]MEKDELLA BREHEN, MERI of THE GALLA[/sub] | "The least we can accomplish here is understand why things are the way they are. Well, come along, let's head to the Grand Council Chambers and discuss."[/list]
(We can skip to them being in the office after your post)
Paseo, Philanialle
| The Empress would shake the Meri's hand with a smile. |
[list][ Empress Esfir Diba ]: "It's a pleasure and an honour to meet the most powerful woman in Africa and one of the most powerful people of Africa, and please don't take it as a hollow flattery as I don't throw my words around easily. I do hope that we can ease things out."
Philanialle, The Galla
| On their way to the Chambers, an observant Esfir would experience her first exposure to the esoteric movement known as Astroculture. Even in a city as crowded as Addis, there are open green spaces with small temples for making offerings.
(They look like this but smaller https://i.pinimg.com/564x/c7/ab/48/c7ab486eab5f16959c02d5a15eddd10c.jpg)
Advertisements on big screen all throughout the city advertise Astroculture in English, Italian, and Ge'ez. Afro-futurism and Astroculture have collided to create this unique display of new and old. The mythos of it all is interrupted by news ads every now and again, some of which continue to criticize Iran & the Arab World for their recent actions. Regardless, the ride is a smooth and comfortable one through a city in evolution. |
Finally, they arrive to the office. Mekdella's office is adorned with brand new statues of the gods and goddesses, flags of The Empire, and paintings of celestial scenes. Mekdella offers Esfir a seat and has a seat herself.
[list]| [sub]MEKDELLA BREHEN, MERI of THE GALLA[/sub] | "Well, Empress."[/list]
Mekdella folds her hands and smiles, leaning forward onto the desk a bit.
[list]| [sub]MEKDELLA BREHEN, MERI of THE GALLA[/sub] | "Iran's not doing too well in The Empire lately, as you know. There is a lot of hysteria over this pact you've signed onto with the Saudis and AFS."[/list]
Paseo, Philanialle
| Taking a seat she would look around for a moment before giving Ms Brehen all the attention. |
[list][ Empress Esfir Diba ]: "Yes, I'm aware. I'm not happy that the pact had brought out such reactions but I can also understand them. However, the pact at no cost undermines what Iran stands for. The pact has been made and proposed by me, in order to keep the Middle East in a stable and safe position after the MECO collapse. Yes, values that Iran has always stood by are crucial and remain but those values have to be protected by all costs, including an alliance that will provide stability for my region. But I'm very curious to hear your thoughts."
Philanialle
| Mekdella nods understandingly and leans back, smiling to herself. |
[list]| [sub]MEKDELLA BREHEN, MERI of THE GALLA[/sub] | "The reactions came mostly from certain publications, I'm sure the one you're most aware of is Illumination Magazine. One of the most outspoken critics, Lishan Gulema... she's actually an old family friend. I share her thoughts, Empress, although I'm not as... abrasive about it. Morally speaking I believe your pact is questionable at best. Strategically, I can see your reasoning, what with the end of MECO and the debacles at the start of the year."[/list]
| She crosses her arms. |
[list]| [sub]MEKDELLA BREHEN, MERI of THE GALLA[/sub] | "...Iran's always been on the forefront of women's rights, of course. But with the way Astroculture has been spreading Empire-wide, I'm afraid the reactions to the pact could be chalked up to unfortunate timing on your part. My citizens have reduced tolerance to things like that now, because of our faith."[/list]
Paseo, Philanialle
brazil
Philanialle, Kewtpuff
[list][ Empress Esfir Diba ]: "Yes. Astroculture. I was notified of it, it's a very interesting belief system, may I say. One that I am personally interested in, Ms Brehen. But morality has very little to do with modern politics, we both know that. For instance, Egypt...Galla seems to have growing interest in Egypt, a place that systematically censors it's own people and undermines women rights. Turkey very much the same, and not to mention China one of the largest human rights abusers in the world, a country Galla is working quite closely with."[/list]
| With a slight smile she would raise her head slightly. |
[list][ Empress Esfir Diba ]: "Every country we cooperate with has something behind their ears, something that we pretend not to see or at best, like it is with Iran and Saudi Arabia, we acknowledge their problems and urge them to change their ways. My point is, Ms Brehen, that Iran and Galla were on a very good way to becoming good friends and I'm aware that for some time now there has been quite the animosity between Galla and the Arabs, and I don't wish Iran to be dragged into that as a side factor. Especially since our deals were lucrative for both sides."
Philanialle, The Galla
yes?
Philanialle
| Mekdella smirks, a subtle acknowledgement that Esfir caught her. |
[list]| [sub]MEKDELLA BREHEN, MERI of THE GALLA[/sub] | "It's all a big game of hypocrisy at the end of the day, isn't it? Since you had to hit the nail on the head so well, I won't give you the sugarcoated version anymore. You won't hear this on the news, as there's not enough international attention on us, so I'm telling you this in confidence. The reactions and the boycotts to Iran, the outcries over Metropolitan Francais, none of these were manufactured by my regime. The Empire itself hasn't made any statements regarding any of this. Still, there is a large, growing anti-Arab sentiment that has swept the Empire, and it's focused nearly entirely on Alzarikstan, as one of the leading Arab powers who's starting something of an arms race in the Erythrean Sea. Mesuvia and Abessinienreich don't catch the same flak as Arabia, because they don't command the sort of... mythological backing which grants the Saudis such a role. Unfortunately, Iran suffered a similar fate to the French recently by working with the Saudis." |[/list]
| She stands and approaches one of the statues in her office. She leans on the wall behind it, arms crossed. It's a statue of a woman with the phases of the moon on a long dress she's wearing. The palm of her right hand faces outward. |
[list]| [sub]MEKDELLA BREHEN, MERI of THE GALLA[/sub] | "When it comes down to it, Saudi Arabia is a nation which continues the appropriation of our ancient culture, now revived. All of their symbols, traditions, actions, it's all stolen... and now, after this odyssey which has lasted millennia, the Gallan Empire is in a position to take hold of its destiny. 200 million people, with a dream...and the means with which to achieve it. Your pact with the Saudis, in the view of my people, was not just a strategic alliance with a regional power. Empress, you cast your lot with the Saudis. While I can maintain our relations, lukewarm as they may be now, the will of the Gallan Race can say otherwise. Regardless of how things were going before the pact, the path which the Empire is embarking on is not one we expect to have many friends beside us in. Suicidal as it may sound." |[/list]

You have your destiny, your country has it's destiny. As we do all. But by no means is our destiny dictated by the universe, it is dictated by us, by those that lead. And you lead. You lead, Ms Brehen. You do not follow, you do not react, you lead with conviction and vision, that is courage, that is knowledge and that is wisdom. But deeper questions have to be asked. Is it worth it losing friends, allies dare I say to complete a goal that in the end might not be what you wanted it to be? There are many ways to get your goal, to get your destiny to happen. Think about it. Don't be haste, for those that are haste bitterness comes."[/list]

[list][ Empress Esfir Diba ]: "You're changing the history, Ms Brehen. History of Africa, of the Middle East and the world. It does take courage at such young age to do that. But as an old woman myself, I can give you one piece of advice. Don't push away those that are out with a lending hand. I'm extending that hand, and you can change the opinion of the public just as much as I can change the course on which the Middle East goes by. I'm not asking for incredible amount of alignment, or for duties that cannot be paid. I am asking for reconciliation amongst your people, and greater cooperation in order to preserve what must be preserved. Prosperity and Liberty."

The TAI (Bürküt) Fighter is getting into its last stages of testing, on January 15, 2000, Turkey's Defense Industry Executive Committee (SSIK) decided to design, develop and manufacture a national next generation air-superiority fighter which would replace Turkey's F-16 fleet and operate with other critical assets like F-15E Strike Eagles. Turkish Prime Minister (now president) Recep Tayyip Erdoğan announced on January 8, 2000, that the Bürküt would be a twin-engined fighter. The Undersecretariat for Defense Industries published its 2002 Performance Report in March 2003, where it was revealed that the final decision was to continue with the twin engine configuration. In December 2002, TAI released preliminary technical specifications and features of the aircraft. Some features of a 5th generation fighter projected for the Bürküt are:
Sensor fusion
Improved situational awareness
Reduced detectability

With that announced, in the media and in the newspapers, there were many questions and debates about why Korea wants to provoke Japan so much, many even pointing [...] "How Seoul supported Shinjiro Koizumi, so obviously, the Koreans wanted an unstable Government to command Japan." However, the number of "Suga's supporters" has increased dramatically with "Suga's New Executive Order," many declaring that Korea cannot dictate the rules in Asia, "we must put Korea in its place [...] taking care of its own affairs."[/list][/list][/list]

April, 2024 - Parliament Approve PGP Entry
Earlier in April the Sudanese Parliament had officially voted for the approval of the Sudo-Iranian Alliance of Co-operation (SIAC) as a result of Prime Minister Salva Kiir's visit to Tehran for a meeting with Empress Esfir Diba of Iran marking an official alliance between Khartoum and Tehran.
And so following talks, diplomatic missions and meeting between Khartoum and the former members of the Middle East Co-operation Organization (MECO), Sudan had been approved to enter the newly created Persian Gulf Pact (PGP) between Baghdad, Tehran, and Riyadh. And so after a short series of debate, legislation had been presented to the Sudanese Parliament by Prime Minister Salva Kiir for calling on Parliament to officially approve and recognise Sudan's entry into the PGP. The legislation had passed by 141 Yes to 36 No in the National Assembly where it was then taken to be passed by 62 Yes to 2 No by the Council of States. As the legislation becomes officially passed by Parliament, Prime Minister Kiir had signed the legislation making the Republic of Sudan an official member of the Persian Gulf Pact.

Some Consolidations
2024 - Benelux
While walking around in the Flemish town of Antwerp, the leader of the Vlaams Belang party, Tom Van Grieken, recieved a call from the PM, Geert Wilders regarding the merger of Flanders with the Netherlands proper. Van Grieken asked for 24 hrs to talk with his team and to get a vote among the party and the Vlaams Parlement itself. Vlaams Belang agreed to it almost immediately as that was one of their main goals, and they were able to get a positive vote in the Parliament, therefore, Van Grieken was able to send the affirmative response to the Netherlands regional parliament. Marjolein Faber would recieve it and lead the merger in which would result in Flanders becoming the southern region of Netherlands Proper leading to the dissolution of Belgium as a whole. Wallonia would therefore no longer need to contend with the Flemish north. With the status of Brussels entering into question, Wilders suggested turning it into Vrije Stad Brussel/Ville Libre de Bruxelles. The Luxembourgish Parliament seeing an opportunity to boost the french speaking part of the Benelux decided to merge with Wallonia creating the region of Ardenne. Benelux now consisting of Netherlands and Ardenne began to explore its greatest issue of keeping the North Sea in the North Sea and preventing land loss.

| EMPRESS ESFIR ESTABLISHES HER REIGN |
| Empress Esfir has officially and fully established her new regime in Iran. The re-establishment of the 1960 Constitution has completely changed the political structure of the country. The Iranian government is now led by Her Majesty the Empress, with three councils working by her side. The Council of Generals, the Council of Ministers and the People's Council. The Council of General is formed of top Iranian Generals who's main responsibility is to keep peace and stability within Iran and the region and be the military extension of the Empress. The Leading Councillor of the General Council is General Abvazi, a 56 year old General of the Iranian Airforce who is known for his support of militarisation and who was the head of the Iranian Airforce Command in the 1990s.
The Council of Ministers is the leading Council of Iran, formed of the Ministers of Healthcare, Education, Defence, Trade, Welfare and Social Security, Public Culture, Foreign Relations, Infrastructure, Treasury, Public Energy and Agriculture. The Council of Ministers rules the country alongside the Empress, with the Council making major legislative processes. At the head of the Council of Ministers stands Najara Koisaran, a 46 year old ex-lecturer of Foreign Relations at the University of Tehran. Koisaran is known for her favourism of the Charm and Dominate policy popularised by Iranian-Liberalism.
The People's Council is an elected body of ten councillors from each Iranian region. The People's Council is the representation of the people through the parties of Iran. The People's Council main function is to propose and create laws favoured by the General Public and be the direct voice of the people for the Empress. The People's Council elections happen every four years, with Iranians voting for particular candidates of certain parties/neutrals rather than for parties themselves.
As the Rule by Councils has established, the political opponents of the new regime have been arrested. Iranian Rose Movement, Purity and Light Movement, People's Voice Alliance and the New Unity parties have been disbanded and their leaders arrested until further notice. It is speculated that the leaders will most likely be banished from the country in upcoming days. Trials of Mrs Nouri and Irene Hassani have also taken place. Kobrina Nouri has been sentenced to banishment for 45 years, and was deported to the United States of Paramerica for her crimes against the Iranian people. Irene Hassani, however, has been sentenced to life in prison for her actions against the state and at the age of 78 that life will not last much longer it's said. Members of the Republican Gang have also been arrested and trailed, resulting in sentences up to 25 years due to their crimes against the Iranian state and people.
On 12th of May, Empress Esfir sent out major force deployments onto the border with Armenia as she herself went out for talks with the it's leadership. The decision for talks has been made amidst the situation in Turkey, relating to the suppression of the Kurds and growing discontent in Armenia over new fears in regards to Turkey. It seems as if Empress Esfir is playing a double edge sword here, offering both a lending hand and showing a sign of a strength.
Empress Esfir has also announced that alongside the new ten Empress Farah Wrath Stealth Destroyers entering service, Iranian Shahbanu Protectors*, for now in the number of 20 will enter service by the end of May marking another military strive for Iran. However, the Empress has also made clear that "...based on trade and the fall of MECO, Iran will continue all it's trade deals based on the MECO standards, regulations and forms already created with countries and organisation in order to continue trade as normal, and continue the flourishing relations between Iran and it's global partners like the European Union, United States of Paramerica, Korea and Russia..." |

As for issues in the banking sector, underlined by journalists Suga said he would not make changes to the Bank of Japan, knowing that Japanese politicians have a major influence on monetary policy compared to other developed countries.
Suga also showed during the press conference that he had a keen interest in further supporting immigration by increasing annual net migration, which would certainly alleviate the decline of the adult population in the labor market.[/list][/list][/list]

[sub]| HELM OF LIBERTÉ, MINISTÈRE DE LINTÉRIEUR - | Incumbent President Emmanuel Macron has officially secured a second 7 year tenure as the President of the Vth Republic with 85% of the popular vote. Polling stations opened early this morning at around 0600 A.M. as millions of French citizens flocked to exercise their most precious right. With competing candidates such as Nicolas Dupont-Aignan (Debout la France), Jean-Luc Mélenchon (La France Insoumise), Jean-Frédéric Poisson (Christian Democratic Party), and François Asselineau (Popular Republican Union) being knocked out in the first round two weeks ago it ultimately came back down to the two archenemies, Emmanuel Macron En Marche !) and Marine Le Pen (National Rally). The showdown was reminiscent of the 2017 elections however the enthusiasm couldn't have been greater than what was witnessed today. Support for both candidates has only increased over the years especially for Marine Le Pen whom served a short 2 year tenure as Prime Minister under Macron, but was later 'kicked out' of office as she put it in a snap parliamentary election called by Macron back in 2022. With the polls quickly wrapping up and collecting the last few ballots by 11:00 P.M., it was quite clear that voter turnout had been much higher this year than in previous years and that the people had overwhelmingly embraced Macronism. | [/sub]

EN APPOARCH TO RIYHAD MORNING
[sub]STATE DEPARTMENT C-46 AIRCRAFT[/sub]
| The C-46s were defintantly larger than the aged C-32, modified Boeing 757s to the modified Boeing 767s fleet now in service to transport the Vice President, Secretary of State and at times, other members of the Cabinet otherwise known as the C-46s Enroute from a late night departure timeframe from Joint Andrews A.F.B., Secretary of State ANTONY BLINKEN got enough rest. There werent any bedding accommodations on the C-46s like there were on the larger VC-25s, modified Boeing 747s otherwise known as Air Force One, but the seating was comfortable enough. Half conference room, half standard business class seating. |
| As BLINKEN walked across the aircrafts main hallway corridor with a cup of coffee in hand, NED PRICE, Spokesperson to the State Department soon caught up with him. |
[list]| NED PRICE, [sub]State Spokesman[/sub] | Secretary.
| ANTONY BLINKEN, [sub]Secretary of State[/sub] | Ned, you caught me naked.
| NED PRICE, [sub]State Spokesman[/sub] | Im sorry, sir?[/list]
| BLINKEN wasnt, but he didnt have a suit coat on, just a slacks, a blue collared shirt and tie. |
[list]| ANTONY BLINKEN, [sub]Secretary of State[/sub] | Dont have a coat on.[/list]
| PRICE got the joke, but laughed half-nervously anyway as he kept his pace up with BLINKEN. |
[list]| NED PRICE, [sub]State Spokesman[/sub] | I wanted to talk to you
| ANTONY BLINKEN, [sub]Secretary of State[/sub] | Before I had coffee, but go on.
| NED PRICE, [sub]State Spokesman[/sub] | Right, well Mr. Secretary, theres a reporter
| ANTONY BLINKEN, [sub]Secretary of State[/sub] | Always a reporter.
| NED PRICE, [sub]State Spokesman[/sub] | Yeah haha, well they intend to draft this trip as nothing more than other exercises of quote Paramericas oil ambitions and
| ANTONY BLINKEN, [sub]Secretary of State[/sub] | Thatll be a method House Republicans will use to discredit the Presidents green energy agenda . . . Didnt they get the memo from that Tokyo [climate change] Summit back in March?
| NED PRICE, [sub]State Spokesman[/sub] | Apparently not, but nevertheless the Saudis werent too keen on green policy to begin with and
| ANTONY BLINKEN, [sub]Secretary of State[/sub] | Why are you telling me this? Let them write their piece, doesnt make much of a difference nor does it[/list]
| PRICE stops walking alongside, causing BLINKEN to halt too and look. |
[list]| NED PRICE, [sub]State Spokesman[/sub] | Theyre on board, Mr. Secretary.[/list]
[sub]PRESS CORE SEATING, EN ROUTE[/sub]
| The PRESS CORE sudden stands, as BLINKEN walks in, who waves them down with a smirk. |
[list]| ANTONY BLINKEN, [sub]Secretary of State[/sub] | Keep your seats, please keep your seats. I can assure you, Im not Joe [Biden].[/list]
| BLINKEN makes his way to towards a row back reporter, who was focused typing away on her laptop. PRICE follows soon behind, addressing a few reporters questions of the Peninsula itinerary. |
[list]| ANTONY BLINKEN, [sub]Secretary of State[/sub] | Youre Ms. Adams, right?[/list]
| ADAMS looks up, a reporter from the LA TIMES, shes in her mid-30s. |
[list]| JULIANA ADAMS, [sub]Press Core[/sub] | Yes, thats correct. Juliana Adams, La Times.[/list]
| BLINKEN smiles a bit, still standing, leaning his elbow on the seat in front of ADAMS. |
[list]| ANTONY BLINKEN, [sub]Secretary of State[/sub] | Ive read your work before Ms. Adams. Quite intriguing for well, the LA Times. Orange County Republicans arent suppose to make it far in the Times.
| JULIANA ADAMS, [sub]Press Core[/sub] | Not all of us there are born with a desire to be an Ermanist Girl Scout there, Mr. Secretary . . . On or off the record?
| ANTONY BLINKEN, [sub]Secretary of State[/sub] | On or off, either way is fine. Since youre here, I wanted to ask you something . . . Mr. Price tells me here that you intend to paint this trip as a display of?
| JULIANA ADAMS, [sub]Press Core[/sub] | President Bidens hypocrisy.
| ANTONY BLINKEN, [sub]Secretary of State[/sub] | You said that, not me, and whys that?[/list]
| ADAMS gets more comfortable, almost like a challenge. Being a conservative reporter for a liberal newspaper probably didnt need to say more. |
[list]| JULIANA ADAMS, [sub]Press Core[/sub] | I think, if the President wants to support climate change summits and push the Paramerican people to continuously buy electric vehicles at the expense of gas stations, of whom, some peoples income depends upon, the least we could do is no longer engage in countries whos income comes from the sale of the very thing the President is looking to do away with.
| ANTONY BLINKEN, [sub]Secretary of State[/sub] | So youre in favor of more E.V.s?
| JULIANA ADAMS, [sub]Press Core[/sub] | Thats besides the point Mr. Secretary, Im not in favor of hypocrisy.[/list]
| BLINKEN took that in for a moment, as other PRESS CORE members started to notice the exchange. |
[list]| ANTONY BLINKEN, [sub]Secretary of State[/sub] | . . . I like how you say that, I like how you wrote an editorial in the Times that explained why a border wall somehow was more humanitarian . . . I like how you appeared on OAN and did very much the same thing, and even more so, denouncing immigrant children because whom they were, and now you speak of
| JULIANA ADAMS, [sub]Press Core[/sub] | Mr. Secretary
| ANTONY BLINKEN, [sub]Secretary of State[/sub] | But I wont go into that any further, as for your intended assault over hypocrisy, to some degree yes, we do require trade with our Arab partners, and to some degree yes, it has to do with oil . . . You try comparing Saudi oil to oil drilling in the middle of the Pacific and there only wont be enough, the quality wont even replace the quantity.[/list]
| ADAMS just listens. |
[list]| ANTONY BLINKEN, [sub]Secretary of State[/sub] | Over half a century ago, and nearly a century, much to your displeasure another Democrat, that great F.D.R. reached out to the Arab peoples . . . Subsequent geologic analyses showed the entire focus of world oil production and supply was shifting to the Persian Gulf. It was there, its in everything we need today practically . . . and while yes, automobiles only make 15% of world emissions, that 15% still matters a lot. But that was only half the story.[/list]
| A Moment. |
[list]| ANTONY BLINKEN, [sub]Secretary of State[/sub] | It was also a personal mission. FDR was also seeking to persuade King Abdul Aziz to accept 10,000 Jews in the British mandate. Stalins forced had just liberated Auschwitz . . . Roosevelt was unable to convince His Majesty, he instead, proposed that the Germans ought to give up some territory instead.
| NED PRICE, [sub]State Spokesman[/sub] | Mr. Secretary, were enroute to land within half an hour.
| ANTONY BLINKEN, [sub]Secretary of State[/sub] | Both the King and FDR, roughly the same age, with grave responsibilities, had to some degree physical infirmities that stricken them. The President, in a wheelchair, His Majesty walked with much pain due to wounds occurred from battles of his youth uniting the peninsula.[/list]
| BLINKEN turns and nods to PRICE, before finishing up his point. |
[list]| ANTONY BLINKEN, [sub]Secretary of State[/sub] | FDR gifted the King his wheelchair, it wasnt Just Chevron & Texaco, Ms. Adams.[/list]
| BLINKEN finally smiles a bit before turning back, greeting a few of the PRESS CORE members before preparing for landing. |

As key Paramerican allies, we have something in common. The Ministry of Defense has brought to my attention the need to cooperate with maritime powers such as your nation. I propose the strengthening of old ties and forging new ones. Perhaps cooperation in the field of mutual defense is in order?

As the Empress made her way down the stairs, the High Chancellor of Indonesia, Anetta Komarudin, and her Foreign Minister Reto Marsudi, would be waiting.

About half an hour later, the limousine halted inside a gated compound, where butlers and security personnel awaited them. The High Chancellor escorted the Empress into the Rose Room, where the meeting was to take place, right at the heart of the Chancellery Office.

UNAUTHORISED REDUCTION OF COMPANY LABOUR RESOURCES
MAY 2024
A family in La Ceiba was today arrested by the Authorities under the accusation that they willingly and without authorization harmed company efficiency. In particular, they aborted their child despite having received pre-permission to take a four month family leave to take care of what Marexco (Marine Exploitation Corporation) thought would be a new member of not only the family itself but of the Marexco Team. After all Marexco like most other Centroamerican Corporations funds Districts within a City where only members of their Company may live, and as a result they directly benefit from their work as the higher the profits that Marexco receives are, the more they invest into said housing districts. They had pre-emptively invested an undisclosed sum into expanding the housing unit of the family and yet their early termination of the pregnancy has caused a legal case that has only one possible result : Financial reparations from the Family to Marexco. Marexco acted solely under the implication of the time that the family wanted to have the child, and have recordings proving said intention, and as a result the law dictates that the family was in essence lying to Marexco for financial gain.
Such determinations and legal cases are the norm withing Centroamerica, aided by what remnants of Catholic ideology remain, those portions that the Corporations did not choose to constantly attack and omit from books and bibles. A Centroamerica Bible, some would be surprised to hear, is much different from those in Paramerica or across the ocean in Europe. Filled with endless pro corporate lies and scattered within enough truths to keep it accepted and praised by the portions of the chuch in centroamerica that the corporations have been able to buy. It is quite surprising how many churches, starved of funds from the ever growing coffers in Rome, how quickly they accept a few changes to their teachings in return for cold hard currency.
The limitation regarding termination of "future Corporate Employees" is as illegal as the unauthorized termination of contracts, or unauthorized move (or intent thereof) to leave the country. After all leaving the country without permission directly translates to a breach of contract, as the country mainly hires foreign workers to work for it abroad as the result of this is a decreased influx of modern liberal constructs into the minds of the locals. The Internet exists of course, and is an avenue of such information, but it is heavily monitored and restricted. Unlike the rest of the western world, Centroamerica only recently expanded its internet network. What this means is that Centroamerica has constructed its network in such a way that it must pass through "restricted entry points" which are under the control of the Government and therefore corporations. As a result unless you live near an outside source of WiFi (Mexico / Colombia / Paramerican Panama Canal Zone) the internet sites you can visit are limited to what the Government has allowed to enter. This is made worse due to the Countries immensely corporate nature, most of those sites that are allowed are foreign economic interests (Amazon and DHL as examples). Because of this Centroamerica has not restricted access per say, it has simply developed less of its internet as it would have been able to with direct intent.

DAWN OF A RENEWED US-SAUDI STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP
The arrival of Secretary of State Blinken to Riyadh was a rather usual occurrence when the time came for renewal of negotiations for the historical Saudi-US strategic partnership. However, things would be different now with the increased tensions in the Red Sea between Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the Galla. Since the rise of Talal al-Saud, the Saudi Armed Forces has expanded aggressively to become the most lethal, modern, and effective military force in the Middle East. Not only the custodian of the two holy cities, King Talal al-Saud is managing to assert himself as the proper leader of the Arab world. The meeting between Talal al-Saud and Secretary Blinken comes at an opportune moment with the recent policies that is pivoting Saudi Arabia back into activity within the international world. With tensions seemingly rising to their new height, Talal al-Saud is looking forward to this meeting more than ever.
As the C-46 came to a halt, the welcoming ceremony would commence as the King along with prominent members of the Saudi Family would await the completion of the Guard inspection and red carpet walk of Secretary Blinken. With a firm smile on his face while wearing his traditional thawb and keffiyeh, Talal al-Saud would extend his hand toward Secretary Blinken as members of the Royal Regiment Guard Corps stood at attention.

[list][sub]"Secretary Blinken. It is truly gracious to meet with you this morning and I am thankful that you have come to Riyadh, especially during some troubling times here in the Peninsula. The Saudi people have been continuously grateful for the commitment that United States has demonstrated since the 1930s and with that, I am further confident that what we agree upon today will continue to uphold the principles of our relationship. It is essential that Washington DC and Riyadh remain on the same page, focused, and optimistic about the fruitful and prosperous future that will entail from our negotiations today."[/sub][/list]

| ARAB GUARD CENTRAL COMMAND |
[list]May, 2024[/list]
Chairman Nuzari Announces Closure Of Mesuvia Branch Of The Arab Guard
__________
BAGHDAD- In a public address from his headquarters, Arab Guard Chairman Harun Nuzari Ahl al-Tikriti confirmed that the Guard would be closing its Egyptian Regional Command and withdrawing all employees and workers.
During the announcement, he specified that; The conduct and posture of the Egyptian government are not compatible with the Arab Guard. The Sisi administration has proven itself uncommitted to pro-Arab behavior, evidenced in its continued hostility with friendly Arab governments. Continued allegations of corruption and human rights abuses also contributed to this decision. So long as these things remain the case, I cannot in good conscience operate the Arab Guard within Egyptian borders. Our school clubs and reading groups will be ended. Our cooperation with local Egyptian Mosques, Islamic Schools, and humanitarian groups will also end. As such, we will also be withdrawing all Security Department personnel from Egypt. It is my sincerest hope that one day soon the attitude and actions of the Egyptian government will be one that allows the Guard to cooperate with it.
The Arab Guard, which stylizes itself as a 'private social organization supporting Arab history, heritage, and security', has been operating in Egypt for years. The organization spends tens of millions across the Middle East supporting Arab nationalist political candidates, running school clubs and reading groups, and working with humanitarian groups for outreach to impoverished communities. However, the Guard has also been criticized, particularly its Security Department, for supposedly being a front for arming and training guerilla and insurgent fighters. Allegations that the Guard deployed thousands of fighters to the Chadian Civil War remain mainstream. Some also claim the guard has connections in multiple Arab governments and militaries that give it access to arms and equipment for weapons caches and secret militias. This stems from the Guards inception in the 2018-2021 Iraqi Civil War, where it backed democratic forces against the Islamic regime. Internal documents reflect 45,000 personnel in the Security Department, 11,000 of whom were employed in Egypt. They will be brought back to the Arab States and some sent to the unstable Levantine Kingdom.
The perception of the Arab Guard as a tacit militia force isnt helped by the fact that Arab Guard leadership often dress in military fatigues, using titles like Regional Commander, Operations Chief, and Commanding Officer. Chairman Nuzari himself is often seen in public flanked by armed Security Department personnel. Guard reading materials, public statements, and pamphlets also often emphasize the need to defend the Arab World and focus on fostering young Arab men in Arab nationalist thought and belief.
The decision to close the Egyptian Regional Command has been characterized by some as the Arab Guard siding with the Persian Gulf Pact in the rising tensions and current Arab Arms Race. Nuzari has also been criticized for placing the politics of Egypt in front of humanitarian and social missions the Arab Guard pursues. The ERC Commander, Mazin Riyal, a Jordanian himself, commented on the decision saying; Chairman Nuzari has made the right choice. We put ourselves at risk operating in a nation whose government violently persecutes its opposition and seems dedicated to regional instability.
