Tensions among Spanish military commanders and elected government explode over possibility of foreign policy change, which reportedly revitalizes Spanish imperialist goals
| The Spanish government divided itself today when a group of Spanish military commanders led by General Miguel Villarroya proposed a change to the Torres administration's foreign policy that would reportedly revitalize and open the path to Spanish imperialist goals. The rumors, which leaked from an unknown press correspondent for the Spanish army command, have turned heads in the elected government and has caused some leading figures, such as Prime Minister Augustina Torres and King Felipe VI, to speak out against the possibility of Spanish imperialist and colonialist ambitions. On the other hand, Spanish military commanders like General Villarroya, General Francisco Salas, and Admiral Jose Trevino have advocated in support of the proposed change, which some allege will allow the military to pursue imperialist goals 'for the fatherland'. These divisions in the Spanish government and military establishment have caused rifts between politicians, military commanders, and the Royal Family of Spain, with some left-wing politicians claiming a coup is possible. |
| Following the proposal of the change, Prime Minister Augustina Torres, head of state and the current elected government, spoke out in opposition to the change, claiming it would damage modern Spanish ideals and compromise world peace. Many politicians and Spaniards alike are in support of the Prime Minister's rhetoric, but the resentful Spanish Socialist Workers Party (PSOE), led by Pedro Sanchez, has voiced their support for the military's proposed changes, claiming the Prime Minister is 'weak and fragile' and 'knows not how to stand up to threats to Spanish freedoms and democracy'. The Prime Minister spoke out once more against the PSOE, attributing Spanish-Moroccan tensions to the 'rowdy, undemocratic, and anti-liberal' government of Sanchez, from 2019 to 2024. The Prime Minister and her supporters have voiced the idea that peace is the path to the survival of humanity, and imperialist urges and goals must be cast aside in support of a greater, more unified world, while military commanders and the PSOE, who holds a bare majority over Prime Minister Torres' Citizens Party, voice the idea that Spain 'must do everything in her power to defend her interests locally and abroad'. The tide turned against the Prime Minister when the PSOE and Sanchez blamed Torres for the hesitancy of Spain to intervene in Yemen, stating that 'Spain is leaving hundreds of thousands to starve and suffer as fighting continues'. |
| Not all the news is bad for the Prime Minister, though. On July 3rd, His Majesty King Felipe VI, Crown of Spain, addressed the Spanish government at a routine assembly of the Cortes Generales, calling for peace, unity, and solidarity between Spanish government officials. He stated that, 'petty arguments and fighting mean nothing compared to our service to our country and our people'. He asked that the Spanish government, and military commanders, cast aside their imperialist and non-imperialist ideals to work together as one. Immediately, PSOE senators began kindly speaking against the King's rhetoric, calling the Spanish government weak. A riot almost ensued with Citizens Party senators attempting to brawl with PSOE senators, before being restrained and kicked out by the Guardia Civil. On July 5, the King officially announced his backing for Prime Minister Torres' rhetoric, stating that he was in firm support of her ideals and stances. 'It is not our business to meddle in a conflict thousands of miles away, that doesn't even affect us in any manner', the King stated. With support from the Spanish monarchy, the Prime Minister and the CS began pushing back, retaliating and offering counter-proposals to attempt to halt the military's wishes to change the government's foreign policy. |
| However, on July 7, the Cortes Generales reached a compromise, announcing the military's proposal will be considered, as well as all involved parties' arguments. The announcement dealt a blow to the Prime Minister and her supporters, with the PSOE and the military reveling in their success against the elected government. While many clearly understand and know that no military operations can be undertaken without the approval of King Felipe VI, some believe, including General Villarroya, that the King can be swayed towards the side of the military. Immediately after the situation cooled then exploded once more, some analysts stated that the recent military expansion programs could've been leading up to this point, a point that could change Spain's position and stance on the world stage forever. |

Uribe Returns
2024
Medillín
Having recently been released from a second house arrest, Álvaro Uribe, who brought Gran Colombia to it's greatest levels of success began forming a coalition to remove President Juan Santos and install himself seeing how President Santos had not carried out the promises made in the elections. He'd do so in the upcoming elections in Colombia as the Colombian side still recognises elections, while the Venezuelan side led by Nicolas Maduro does not hold elections due to his tight grip on the Colombians in that region of Gran Colombia. Álvaro Uribe, once re-elected would begin the process of fully integrating both into one single body, but not until Maduro is removed, as on a basic level, both Santos and Uribe share the same idea of collapsing communism and taking out Maduro. While Santos is seen as more centre right wing, Uribe is a proud Gran Colombian who wishes only the best for the nation and that includes ensuring the nations people are protected and better versed in education and in careers. Uribe privately contacted Juan Guaido and promised him the vice presidency regardless of him taking Maduro out. Guaido agreed seeing how Uribe would be a stronger leader for the nation. Uribe would begin to also reach out the the minorities as well to secure his base. Social media and local news as of now have forgiven Uribe for his past mistakes and some are requesting interviews to get a sense as to what he'd do in a second term as president.

The Ministry of Employment and Labour responded in a rather cold and legal sort of way, stating that they were happy to provide any assistance with regards to understanding the law but not directly making any promises or offerings regarding the situation of Kleinauer. Specifically their response was mainly aimed at her sick leave, underlining Article 5.A of her employment contract which permits periods of sick leave up to but not exceeding 5 days (a working week), with the possibility for an extension to 7 days with the approval of her employer. The Ministry provided contact details for San Salvador Security Solutions own HR department, as well as contact details to the Secretary of its CEO, which in a twist of irony was Kleinauers own Phone Number. Regarding the costs of the sick leave, the Ministry further provided information on Article 9.F which states that in the unlikely event that an Employee is unable to carry the cost of healthcare, the employer shall cover it, but by doing so their service to said employer is put on a fixed term during which the employee cannot leave without repaying the borrowed funds.

Military command wins major diplomatic victory over elected government in Madrid as Cortes Generales approves change to foreign policy; military force kept on high alert
| Opponents to the current administration and military commanders celebrated their diplomatic victory over the elected government in Madrid after the Cortes Generales, to the dismay of Prime Minister Augustina Torres, passed changes to the Spanish foreign policy that could pave the way to Spanish imperialist ambitions. The issue started almost a week ago when a group of military commanders, led by General Miguel Villarroya, proposed a change to the Spanish foreign policy that reportedly would revitalize Spanish imperialist goals. While the Prime Minister, Augustina Torres, and King Felipe VI were strong opponents of the change, backed by the Prime Minister's party and almost 41% of Spaniards (according to recent polls), the PSOE, a left wing socialist party led by former Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, were strong supporters of the change, claiming it would allow Spain to stand up to threats to Spanish freedom and democracy. The divisions in the government resulted in an attempted brawl, which was subduded by Guardia Civil officers. The scuffles in the government eventually led to the Spanish Cortes allowing the proposed change to pass through the Cortes Generales, and possibly pass it. |
| On July 9, the Cortes Generales ruled in favor of changing the foreign policy to include General Villarroya's proposals. King Felipe VI quietly - and some say somberly - signed the change into law, which political analysts claim will change the course of Spain's position on the world stage for the foreseeable future. Prime Minister Augustina Torres also begrudgingly signed the document into law, which led to many believing she was not actually a fervent opponent of the proposal, but only opposed it strongly to keep up her liberal facade. The new change to the foreign policy states that, 'the Spanish government and military holds the right to, whenever she sees fit, to deploy military forces into regions deemed so unstable that Spain is negatively affected to some degree'. Many Spaniards immediately seemed to think that this applies to the Middle East and the conflict in Yemen, but lower military officials and learned civilians had a different view. |
| Prime Minister Torres, while obviously disgruntled while leaving the Cortes, commented, 'while this change was originally opposed by me and my party, as well as His Majesty the King, we have decided that this is the best course of action to take, considering Spain's current standing'. Reporters immediately clamored, asking what she meant by current standing. The Prime Minister refused to comment, and left the Cortes in one of the government's newly arrived Tesla Model 3 electric vehicles. According to online polls done after the Cortes announced their ruling, a lowly 9% of Spaniards were dissatisfied with the Prime Minister's decision, while 45% were in favor, believing she knew what was truly right for Spain, with the rest abstaining. King Felipe VI refused to comment as he left the Cortes, as did PSOE party leader Pedro Sanchez, but he did leave with a smile on his face. General Villarroya also refused to comment, but was obviously as happy as Sanchez was with the result. |
| Later the same day, Prime Minister Augustina Torres also stated at a public press conference that Spain now disregarded all possibilities of a Spanish intervention in Yemen any further than humanitarian aid. She stated that, 'Yemen is not our business. The Saudis and the Arab Federal States are already fighting for the good of the people, and they are more than capable to do that'. While Spain was now obviously not intervening in the Middle East in any manner or degree, some were intrigued by the fact that the 35,000 Spanish soldiers and armored, air, and sea units kept on high alert as the Special Deployment Squadron (SDS) were not settled down or removed from high alert status. This has led people to believe that Spain could be considering a deployment elsewhere, or the military is just highly paranoid. Most Spaniards agree on the latter, but some continue their arguments on social media platform Twitter. |

That we will not disclose. However, it is my hope that Sudan will not annex Uganda & will leave it as an independent country.

IN TOKYO ― CITIZENS AGAINST IMMIGRATION PUT THE PRIME MINISTER IN ALERT
[list][sup]Reiwa 6 ― July 9, 2024[/sup][/list]
[list][list][list]| KANTEI, TOKYO [...] Earlier this month, the Prime Minister Suga announced that he would continue to encourage immigration, as well as other Fmr. Administrations but that certainly did not please citizens who are against immigration. After Suga's announcement, there was negative criticism on the matter, but the Prime Minister did not feel pressured, "The only way to deal with the shortage of labor in the country [...] given that Japan is still aging, is to open the country to immigrants, so that the economy does not stop," says Suga. Now, that somehow did not please the protesters, "Japan has always been a nation with a strict immigration policy [...] and now Suga wants to open the country even more to immigrants," say the protesters. The Prime Minister in response to the protests said, We need to face the reality, that even with the fertility rate increasing due to social maternity programs [...] our population is aging and our job market will be empty [...] with that we need to stimulate immigration." |[/list][/list]

Spanish government announces $1.5 billion USD investment into Navantia shipyards, supplemented by private investments; New frigate under development and second S-80 Plus-class submarine commissioned
| In an effort to supplement the Spanish Armed Forces' ongoing modernization and expansion efforts, the Spanish government allocated $1.5 billion USD for government investments into Navantia, Spain's leading shipbuilding company, and its shipyards in Cartagena, Valencia, Cadiz, and Ferrol. The new investments, plus a whopping $2 billion worth of investments from the private sector, will fund major upgrades to Navantia's shipyards, allowing for faster production of Spain's Alvaro De Bazan-class frigates and Meteoro-class offshore patrol vessels. These investments will also support Navantia's plans to construct a shipyard and naval base in the Canary Islands, off the coast of Morocco. With a total of $3.5 billion dollars worth of investments from the Spanish government and the private sector, Navantia believes they will have the capability to produce three Meteoro-class OPVs and two Alvaro De Bazan-class frigates every year, but many believe this to be an optimistic timeframe. |
| With the new investments, Navantia unveiled a new shipyard design allowing for the construction of five military vessels at the same time. While Navantia estimates an almost $5 billion USD construction cost per new port, the Spanish government and private sector investors are apparently enthusiastic to support such programs, considering the company only plans to build one new port, while upgrading its Cartagena, Valencia, Cadiz, and Ferrol ports for a much cheaper price. Navantia has begun a design and development phase of their new Las Palmas shipyard on the Canary Islands, which will cost an estimated $4.4 billion USD including payment for the land, and the securing of construction company deals to work on the project. The Las Palmas shipyard will be capable of constructing 4 ships at the same time, an extremely optimistic number. The shipbuilding company hopes that the new shipyard will encourage immigration into the islands from nearby countries, and will generate thousands of new jobs for the Spaniards living on the island. Navantia has stated that the new shipyards and shipyard upgrades will also supplement their civilian vessel industry, but maintains military programs will take precedence due to its larger profitability. The Las Palmas shipyard is set for completion in summer 2027. |
| Meanwhile, renovations and upgrades to Navantia's currently active shipyards in Cartagena, Valencia, Cadiz, and Ferrol have already begun, with plans to construct at least one new yard area per shipyard. Cartagena and Ferrol will take precedence due to its long history with shipbuilding, with designs to construct two new yard areas each for the two shipyards. Navantia hopes the new yard areas will hasten construction of new vessels, such as Spain's Meteoro-class OPVs and Alvaro De Bazan-class frigates, without compromising design or crew safety. These upgrades are estimated to cost $3.8 billion USD total, with a set completion date for all upgrades in all four shipyards in mid-2026. The company has stated that the upgrades and the construction of the Las Palmas shipyard will not compromise nor delay the current timeframes for vessels under construction, such as the ten Meteoro-class OPVs and three Alvaro De Bazan-class frigates currently under construction. |
| The Spanish Navy has also announced the ongoing development of a new frigate, dubbed the Magellan-class, in conjunction with Navantia and other maritime electronics companies in Spain. In this current stage of early development, the vessel will have a length of 433 feet, a width of 65 feet, and a displacement of 6,700 tons. The frigate has an estimated cost of $750-950 million USD per unit, depending on the model and equipment onboard. While the Navy has not confirmed it yet, the Magellan-class is expected to supplement or fully replace the current Alvaro De Bazan-class frigate if it ever proceeds into active service. Proponents of the Alvaro De Bazan-class frigate have stated that the superior AEGIS technology aboard it is essential to Spanish maritime air surveillance operations. Due to this, it is pretty much confirmed that the Alvaro De Bazan-class will be sticking around for a while. |
| On July 19, the Royal Family of Spain, consisting of King Felipe VI, Queen Letizia, Princess Leonor, and Infanta Sofia, attended the commissioning of the Narciso Monturiol, Spain's second S-80 Plus-class attack submarine, which is manufactured locally in Cartagena by Navantia. Budget increases for the Armed Forces and growing interest in the S-80 Plus submarines bolstered Navantia's construction line and sped up production of the Narciso Monturiol. The submarine is expected to conduct joint underwater operations with the Isaac Peral, another S-80 Plus submarine currently in service with the Spanish Navy. The third S-80 Plus attack submarine, Cosme Garcia, is expected to be commissioned in May-June 2025, with the fourth S-80, Mateo García de los Reyes, by late 2025. The Spanish Navy plans to order three new submarines by August of this year, to bolster Spain's underwater submarine fleet. The S-80 Plus-class attack submarine has been stated to be the world's most advanced non-nuclear submarine, as well as being a cheap one at $1.1 billion per unit, while still having modern, state-of-the-art weapons systems. |

[sub]70 Million Registered to Vote, as Democratic Spring Solidify Poll Lead[/sub][/list]
| [sub]Korea expecting one of the largest turnouts in terms of number of people as the number of voters and the overall percentage, as the registered voters passed 70 million. The deadline to vote closed today, and The National Election Commission announced that 70,937,048 people had registered to vote, representing 90.72% of the total electorate, even if in the end the turnout isn't quite as high it is likely to beat the highest on record which currently stands at 79.50% after the fall of Park Geun-hye.[/sub] |
| [sub]In the meantime the first threeway debate between Yi Jung-hee; Yeo Yeong-gug; and Na Kyung-won. The three candidates are from Democratic Spring; the Justice Party; and the Liberty Korea Party respectively. The debate was largely dominated by the economic issues Korea is currently suffering due to the collapse of the Iranian Empire; the debate was also an oppertunity to see all three candidates put under the pressures of such a format. Na Kyung-won is the most experienced politician of the three and the only woman, however most pollsters concluded that viewers saw Yi Jung-hee as the most convincing of the candidates followed by Na who was just ahead of Yeo.[/sub] |
| [sub]The debate and the subsequent media theatre following it saw Democratic Spring take the lead in the opinion polls, currently hovering around 35% followed by the Liberty Party at 29% and the Justice Party at 25% and others on 11%. If that bares out as the actually election result Democratic Spring would be 30-40 seats short of a majority if the proportional list was fairly similar. All three parties are eager to win a majority, but all three are more eager for someone to win a majority so that the chaotic last six years won't be repeated.[/sub] |

| ARAB NATIONAL CONGRESS |
[list]September, 2024[/list]
A Professional Bureaucracy: The Civil Service Commission
______________
BAGHDAD- Today the Arab National Congress passed a major new bill: the Civil Service Establishment act. The bill aims to professionalize the Arab States government, ensuring competent execution and administration of laws. The main provision of the bill creates the Civil Service Agency, a body that will certify prospective government employees and will enforce merit-based hiring for federal government provisions. President Khalil has touted the bill as a major step in combating the corruption, nepotism, and spoils systems that all too often accompany Middle Eastern governments.
The bill was first proposed by the Progressive Unity Party, and quickly gained the backing of the ANU, KDP, Victory Alliance, and the infant SKC. The only organized opposition came from the Islamic Brotherhood in their continued opposition of all things secular. The vote passed the Peoples Assembly 546-168, receiving some Nay votes from individual Congressmen and leading to instant allegations of corruption.
The Civil Service Commission will be independent, reporting to no Ministry and not answering to the President. Its Commissioner will be appointed and removed by Congress itself at its own behest. The most important role of the CSC will be the administration of the Civil Service Exam and Civil Service Registry. Taking and passing the Exam will now be required for those seeking employment in the majority of government roles. Exams will be tailored categories of jobs and specific Ministries to promote specialization and experience in specific sections of government work. Most positions will also require a minimum degree and education. Government Employees will be required to retake the exam every 5-10 years, depending on the job, or risk being fired. This will accompany performance reviews, some conducted by the employees' superiors, some conducted by the Commission personally.
Additionally, political appointees and elected officials will not be allowed to fire officials hired through the CSC. This is meant to disarm the political power Ministers wield over their Ministries, preventing politically or personally motivated hiring. The Commission will also have the power to direct the Interior Ministry to investigate incidents of malpractice in hiring and inappropriate conduct in office relating to hiring, though the Ministry holds final say over prosecutions and arrests.
The law will be phased in immediately, applying to all new federal employees. But in what some have characterized as a compromise with corrupt officials, current government employees will have 2 years to attain their Civil Service Certifications before being subject to review. Hani Mulki has been appointed the first Commissioner, a move that has ironically been considered nepotistic. Mulki was Prime Minister of Jordan preceding the now Vice President Omar Razzaz, and the two are personal associates.
Speaking about the law, Vice President Razzaz said; For too many years, our governments have been dominated by money, sectarianism, tribes, families, and political allies. If we are to create a lasting efficient, effective, and impartial government, we have to end this corruption. The Civil Service Commission is the first step towards achieving this. We will ensure only the best and brightest of Arabs are employed by this nation.

THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF PAKISTAN UNIFIED: A BRIEF HISTORY
Today, with talks between the Taliban, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, they have agreed to merge to form the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Before the government is explained, I will explain the history and canon.
It started off with the Durrani Empire, a mostly Afghan ruled empire which solidified in some expert's views, the geopolitical bloc of Pakistan and Afghanistan. The British however came in, and the Durrani Empire fell apart with Pakistan getting added to the British Raj. Later, Pakistan would regain its independence in 1947, with significant tensions with India but friendly relations to Afghanistan. In 1954, the Afghans would request a merger with Pakistan, in fear of Soviet and American influence, and the Pakistanis would accept, marking the first union.
In 1973, the union would fall apart, from tribal rebellions, Afghani objections, and Islamists rising up, and the last straw being the fall of the Afghan monarchy, which the republicans would secede, leaving the rump state of Pakistan. From there, Afghanistan would be plagued with misfortune, the Soviet invasion, the American invasion, the Taliban, the Islamists, and so on. In 1979, the Soviets would begin their invasion of Afghanistan, where they would fail but also exhaust the government, leaving nostalgia for the union, and it would end in 1989, leaving an unstable Afghanistan.
Following that would be 3 civil wars. The first would be the collapse of the communist regime and leaving a vast power vacuum, picked up by the Taliban and some republicans, the Taliban which Pakistan aided and supported. The 2nd would be the establishment of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, ruled by the Taliban, controlling almost all of it, with global recognition as well. the 3rd civil war would be the Northern Alliance rebelling, leading up to the American invasion of Afghanistan a bit after.
After the American invasion, Afghanistan would be a mess in all respects, with some stabilization around the 2000s, be it with a lot of Taliban conflict inside the country. In the late 2010s, Afghanistan would join the Russian dominated SGRI, which helped with the terrorist attacks significantly, almost ending the Taliban. However, the SGRI would collapse around 2022 with Putin's death, and with that Afghanistan would become independent once more, but with even more Taliban rebelling.
Now, Imran Khan and Hamid Karzai would sign the papers of union, thus clearing the way for a referendum.
In July 3rd, the results would be announced: the referendum passed with 74% support, with people all over the 2 nations rejoicing.
The present state of the government is an Islamic Democracy, with Imran Khan as Prime Minister, and Karzai as President. The parliament would be divided into the House of Elders, which would be a form of representation for tribe leaders, and the House of the People, which would work like a regular senate, with equal representation from different regions.
However, the actual balance of power was delicate, with 3 factions: the civilian government, the Taliban, and the military. The Taliban had been severely weakened over the years, and the union offered them influence in the regions they still controlled, in exchange for cooperation, and it would make the nation more Islamic. The military was already powerful in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and this union would make them even stronger, holding a strong shadow regime behind the civilian government and PM Imran Khan. But for now, the people would rejoice as it had been declared.
The union had been reborn.

Elections and Targets
2024
Gran Colombia
Nicolas Maduro began to ramp up discreet funding towards FARC via his oil money that he has control over via the Venezuelan Oil company he had established to oversee all oil production and the like. He had a charity created that would fund FARC under the guise of providing aid to the local towns and helping needy citizens within the larger towns and cities. With his money from Venezuelan Oil, he hoped to have 100,000,000 in the pot to be used however FARC wanted essentially a tax free bank account as the purchases wouldn't be taxed if the items are bought in the Communist sector. Maduro would not donate anything himself to make sure that no trails lead directly back to him. Unbeknownst to Maduro, Álvaro Uribe had found out via a mole planted in Venezuelan Oil and had a line of code placed into the account in which any money donated would be copied over to his own account to fund his election and his own quest to rid Gran Colombia of Maduro. Uribe was known throughout Colombian media as having more guts and initiative to remove Maduro and bring back Colombia from disaster. Uribe went to the elections against Santos and a new competitor of Ivan Duque. The election then became fully under way with the citizens having been given a day off via a new bill having been signed declaring the election day, whenever it happens a national holiday.
In the election, President Santos ran a campaign of moderacy and keeping the peace between all factions, he visited mainly the middle and south of the nation and primarily focused on the votes of the wealthy and getting corporate support for his re-election, which caused for concern among the regular, middle and lower class population. Santos also ran hit pieces trying to drag up the dirt of Uribe's time in prison and his other scandals, however the media and social media didn't buy it seeing how Uribe had brought more prosperity to the nation. Álvaro Uribe ran a populist campaign in which he focused also on the middle but this time on the north to get the minority votes and the votes of the lower and middle class who made up a much higher population than the upper class and corporate heads. He also went after the lower level corporate employees on the basis that he'd get them more benefits and balance the wealth of the two sides. Uribe also visited Venezuela via webcam conferences to get ballot access to the anti-Maduro residents and get their vote as all three have the option to get the Venezuelan vote but Santos and Duque have been wary about them being all communist. Duque himself simply tried to sweep up the voters that both Uribe and Santos left out of their campaigns, but did not see much success.
Come the election, Uribe won the election via 55% of the vote, Santos with 40% of the vote, and Duque with 4% and all other candidates equaled 1%. With that Álvaro Uribe won the election and took his place in Bogota and made his first promise to fully remove FARC and Maduro. While Uribe did win, it came under scrutiny by Santos who claimed that Uribe had Duque run to steal votes, but the election results having been fully released along with all financial matters released showing Duque never having met or accepted money from Uribe. Santos soon apologised and retired from politics taking up an advisory role at his wife's industrial design firm. Uribe also began to draft a bill to have minority inclusion in the parliament with each native group getting a seat in parliament and he'd have a committee made up for the rights. The committee being called: Permanent Select Committee on Indigenous Affairs - Comité Selecto Permanente de Asuntos Indígenas. He'd then have that provide education and job training to get them going and participating in the economy. He'd also have clinics and hospitals built as well in those communities to further increase the living conditions of the nation as a whole especially the indigenous people who've been neglected for decades. Uribe also began to request investments from the world to further fund boost the economy as a whole. While Uribe did win, it came under scrutiny by Santos who claimed that Uribe had Duque run to steal votes, but the election results having been fully released along with all.
Maduro began to ramp up security upon hearing about the potential hot conflict between himself and Uribe, who also began to do some buildup of his military in anticipation of a hot war between him and Maduro by sending several requests to Brazil Kewtpuff, La Plata Nevbrejnovitz, and to some European nations, along with the US Paramountica. He'd wish to buy several naval vessels to choke Caracas and to seize and hold the offshore oil platforms. For internal oil site, he'd wish for tanks and troop carriers to provide primary strikes then move on. He'd also request various aircraft to perform differing roles. Uribe also would keep the neighbouring nations in mind in case of any sort of pushback into the Colombian territory, in which may be more mountainous but it would result in FARC becoming much more emboldened and acting up. Uribe would firstly take out the three leaders of FARC and seizing their equipment and de-radicalising them via therapy and other options depending on the insurgent themselves, as some are stronger willed but some may just be in it for money or to keep their families safe. With Uribe finally picking out a first target, he'd begin to mobilise assets and send scouts to find the three heads of FARC and cut them off as each of the three controls a key aspect. FARC's three components are the militia led by, Iván Márquez; the drug trade led by Antonio García; and the legal led by Óscar Figuera. Uribe marked Márquez as the first target due to FARC needing protection and intimidation to run. The drug trade funded it, and the legal keeping the group from being wiped out via the bureaucracy.

| KINGDOM OF SPAIN |
| GOBIERNO IMPERIAL DE ESPAÑA |
______________
Instituto Nacional de Aeronáutica established to oversee Spanish public-private space ventures
| Since Spain joined the European Space Agency (ESA), the Kingdom had directed most of its space-related efforts to ESA rather than an independent space program due to the costliness of such a project. In the late 1970s, the Instituto Nacional de Technica Aeroespacial (INTA), Spain's semi-active independent space program, began actual space operations with the launch of INTASAT 4 in 1974. Inactivity, lack of funding, and general disinterest in spaceflight caused most of Spain's space efforts to prioritize ESA and its rising Ariane family of launch vehicles. Additional satellites were launched in 1994, 1997 and 2004, but remained only demonstration satellites with funding from ESA. INTA also developed numerous sounding rockets, such as the INTA-255, INTA-300, and INTA-100, as well as the Capricornio sounding rockets. Most of these, while successful, were phased out of service due to lack of funding from Madrid. In an effort to revitalize Spain's space program and its silent El Arenosillo launch site in Southern Spain, Spanish Prime Minister Augustina Torres established the Instituto Nacional de Aeronautica (INDA, or National Aeronautics Institute) to oversee Spanish independent space program ventures, as well as Spain's growing private aerospace industry. |
| The first step in establishing INDA as a prospering and expansive independent space organization was to establish a base of operations. Many Spaniards would turn their heads and fingers towards the El Arenosillo launch site in Southern Spain, established by the Instituto Nacional de Technica Aeroespacial (INTA), the now-defunct Spanish space agency. In early July 2024, EL Arenosillo and a surrounding 5 kilometer area was closed off, and the area was established as the Magellan Spaceflight Center (MSC) on July 19, 11 days after the establishment of INDA. The Magellan Spaceflight Center will undergo multiple upgrades, renovations, and construction operations to modernize and prepare it for active launch operations into suborbital - and eventually orbital - space. Near the entrance and along an access road running westwards from the main avenue will be INTA's administrative offices, expanded and modernized for the digital age. Down the main avenue is an intersection, from which an avenue moves away to the Mission Control Office (MCO), facing towards Launchpad D 326 meters towards the west. On the other side of the intersection is the Eastern Access Road, which links the main intersection to Launchpad A. From Launchpad A to Launchpad B is the second portion of the Eastern Access Road. Down the main avenue south of the intersection is the Staff Housing Complex, Research and Development Office, Long Range Communications Complex, Live Testing Building, and Interior Staff Office Block 1, which has an observatory deck on the highest floor. At the end of the main avenue near the beach is Launchpad C, from which the first suborbital and orbital rockets will launch from. This is due to the launchpad's relative proximity to the Visitor Residences, Underground Fuel Depot, and Variable Assembly Hangar (VAH). Crossing the Arroyo Arenosillo is the Western Access Route, connecting the main avenue to Launchpad D and E. The Magellan Spaceflight Center will house an estimated 1,500 workers at the Staff Housing Complex and the nearby town of Marzagon. The Center will also establish long-range communications antennae as the space program plans to focus on satellites and possibly interplanetary missions before orbital flight. |
| The entire Magellan Spaceflight Center project is expected to cost between $1.5 billion to $2.5 billion USD, and will take almost two years to build. While the government is apprehensive towards the large cost of the project, proponents of the MSC claim that it will create tens of thousands of jobs for the nearby cities such as Marzagon, Mazagon, Huelva, and Matalascanas. The MSC is also in close proximity to Cadiz, being only 76 kilometers north of the city. It is estimated that the construction process of the MSC will hire up to 2,500 people, while the actual in-operation MSC will hire up to 1,500 people, mainly directed towards and related to Research and Development. The Instituto Nacional de Aeronautica (INDA) has also received a $1 billion USD annual budget from the Spanish government in Madrid, a massive increase from the previous $100 million annually for INTA. According to sources within INDA and the Cortes Generales, however, INDA's budget does not encompass nor take responsibility for the price tag of the Magellan site. While some, specifically opponents to a Spanish independent space program, say that this is due to the fact that INDA cannot pay for the construction of the project, Spanish Prime Minister Augustina Torres reaffirmed that this was so that 'INDA can prioritize and focus funding and resources onto the important thing, being research and development, as well as actual space exploration'. Prime Minister Torres also stated afterwards that the operating costs will be shouldered by INDA and its budget. |
| With the current timeframe, as construction for the Magellan Spaceflight Center prepares to begin, INDA officials - and in particular INDA Director Jose Piqueres - claim that the Magellan project can be completed by early 2026, with launches from existing launchpads beginning in December 2024. Director Piqueres has stated that the program's main goal will be to conduct early research and development into rocketry and rocket science, as to support the Spanish aerospace and technological industries as well as to prepare the country for orbital flight. Even now, the Spanish government in Madrid has stated and confirmed that an orbital-capable rocket developed solely by INDA is not expected until 2035-2040, but Spain has a different plan to get into orbit before that rough date. |
| Payload Aerospace S.L. (PLD Aerospace) is a Spanish company developing two partially-reusable launch vehicles called Miura 1 and Miura 5. Miura 1 is designed as a sounding rocket for sub-orbital flights to perform research or technology development in microgravity environments and/or in the upper atmosphere. Furthermore, Miura 1 is also serving as the technological demonstrator of the orbital launcher Miura 5. PLD Aerospace's Miura 5 will provide orbital launch capabilities for small payloads such as CubeSats or microsatellites that need a flexible and dedicated launch vehicle and therefore cannot fly with traditional rockets. It is being designed to deliver a total payload mass up to 300 kg into Low Earth Orbit. Recovery of the first stages of both rockets would be by the use of parachutes and water splashdown for re-use. The Miura 1 will use a TEPREL-B engine, while Miura 5 will use 5 TEPREL-C turbopump engines on the first stage and 1 TEPREL-C vacuum engine on the second stage. The Miura 1 is rapidly approaching its first test flight, since development started in the mid 2010s. A Miura 1 test flight is scheduled for October 2024 from the Magellan Spaceflight Center's Launchpad C, with the first Miura 5 flight scheduled for September 2025, after an estimated 5 Miura 1 suborbital test flights have been flown. PLD Aerospace received a $250 million USD grant from the Spanish government and a $5 million USD grant from INDA, prominently displaying Spain's support for the company's aspirations. PLD Aerospace and INDA are currently in talks to lease Launchpad B to PLD Aerospace for their own personal use with their rockets and launch vehicles. INDA Director Jose Piqueres is confident the deal will go through, saying that both parties will benefit from such an agreement. |
| With the Spanish aerospace industry ramping up and preparing for suborbital launches from a Spain with renewed interest in spaceflight, many are excited to see what is to come. However, since all INTA sounding rockets have been decommissioned and sent out of service, INDA will not launch any rockets until the INDA-1 sounding rocket, which started development in January 2024 under military supervision, is prepared for a first test flight in September, one month ahead of the Miura 1 test launch. |

Demir Packing & Agricultural Machinery and other Turkish farm equipment companies has partnered with the government to lend more equipment to farmers. The Government has started irrigation projects, subsidies, and tax policies to encourage farming's existence, as did research in new crops and new varieties of ones already in cultivation. Turkish Cypriots have in possession of agricultural resources that produced about four-fifths of the citrus and cereal crops, two-thirds of the green fodder, and all of the tobacco in Cyprus. The south retained nearly all of the island's grapegrowing areas and deciduous fruit orchards. The south also possessed lands producing roughly three-fourths of the valuable potato crop and other vegetables, Turkey is looking to plant some in the north. One farmer says, "Thank god, that's all I have to say."

IN POLAND, THE CONSTITUTIONAL COURT LEGALIZES ABORTION
[list][sup]July 14, 2024[/sup][/list]
[list][list][list]| WARSAW, POLAND Following a decision by the Constitutional Court, the Tusk administration declares that, "the State will not interfere in Polish women's decisions, so the Tusk Administration will legalize abortion across the country," said a spokesman for President Tusk this certainly increased President Tusk's approval among women, especially young women, thus increasing his support for his re-election next year. But it is clear that the Catholic Church did not like this act of the Polish Government at all, as did the catholic Polish citizens where catholic anti-abortion protesters gathered in front of the Constitutional Court, saying, "Poland is a traditionalist country! [...] Poland should not be a liberal country with liberal policies!" According to political experts, President Tusk will now have to deal with these Polish traditionalist citizens. |[/list][/list]

Jair Messias Bolsonaro, President of the Federative Republic of Brazil: "I could not agree more, Mr. Prime Minister. In times such as these, it is important to iron out who your allies and enemies are." Bolsonaro would grin as he clasps his hands together mischievously. "Speaking of allies...The United Kingdom is one of Brazil's greatest friends on the world stage. As a fellow NATO nation, our foreign policies often...intersect. I do hope that we can work together on further solidifying our relations in that regard. Perhaps British support in our naval modernization program?"

The Insurrection has changed rapidly in the past few months. From May to June the following events occurred: The city of Pajala fell following it's siege. Kurrokvejk and some of the surrounding areas around Arjeplog came back under our control through the work of the Norrland Dragoon Regiment. The SUDF taking Gardikforsen and advancing towards Ammarnäs in the south. Us taking back Sjangeli and the SUDF attacking Ovre Soppero. With Pajala taken, Operation Jörmungandr was authorized to begin in the beginning of July.
Most of the events that happened around July and August were about Operation Jörmungandr with the entirety of National Road 99 being taken and the forces encircled in the north being connected with the main forces. However, some other events happened in these times such as: The SUDF advancing toward the town of Tärnaby as well as taking Ammarnäs and Tjulträsk. The SUDF forces in Gustav's Roundtable somewhat recovering from the previous assaults. As of now, the Armed Forces are chosing to just hold off attacks in order to secure and reinforce their positions before they start another assault.
Swedish National Identity Party Gains Popularity
On the 17th of July, the Swedish European Party was split into two. Various Holmists and Far-right groups that were opposed to Gustav Holm split off and formed the SNIP. This party was to be lead by Isak Ottosson, Leo Edlund, and Johannes Lindbergh. The party has already become popular quickly with a recent poll suggesting that around 6-8 percent of the population already supports the SNIP.
While many oppose the SNIP they have a large base to gain support from and are rising quickly. Only time will tell whether this party can rise up to challenge the SEP as many believe. What is clear is the fact that such a far-right party can get this popular is a clear sign of the political situation in Sweden.
OOC: Yeah I'm sorry for not posting in 15 days. I was planning on getting a new phone to fix my problem. However, it just so happens that we haven't gotten our Social Security for two weeks.

| NEW DIRECTION, MAJOR CHANGE |
[sub]July, 2024[/sub]
| Following the Caucasian War, a new shift has arisen amidst Iranians and the ruling elites. The war came out as a shock, but it was a lead up since the fall of MECO. During the 2010s onwards, Iran like never before got involved in Middle East issues and conflicts, leaving behind it's legacy of being the island of stability, prosperity and beauty amidst the falling region. Trying to lift the Arab nations from their poverty, it paid a high price when MECO collapsed. The exit of the Persian Gulf States and it's imperialistic ambitions in the Caucasian region led to the worst defeat in Iranian history since the Iranian-Russian wars of the 19th Century.
However, the Iranian people stand continue to stand strong and the Iranian Empress, Esfir Diba, stood strong on her decision to not continue to the war any longer, in order to protect the lives of her people. After the Treaty of Tbilisi was signed, a shift occurred within Iran, a shift which has now led to major changes. The Iranian Empress has completely reshuffled Iranian foreign policy, it's goals and has began mass militarisation of the country seen only before in the 1970s. For the first time, in decades, Iran is set to return to it's 1970s policy.
Mass military presence has been gathered at all Iranian borders, shutting down all and any free movement with neighbouring countries. Mass military production has began on a major scale around Iran, with aircraft, naval ships, missiles, and ground force equipment. Persian Angel Sky Defence System has been established around the Iranian skies, becoming the Iranian Iron Dome. All foreign aid from within Iran has been suspended, cutting down on helping out poorer countries. The Iranian Defence Technology Institute has been established, with it's main task being creating new, fully able equipment. Iranian Shelter Program has been reactivated after over 40 years of not functioning, making sure that millions of shelters around the country are ready.
In the meantime, Iranian foreign policy has shifted with a major announcement from the Iranian Empress, in which Her Majesty states clearly that "...we must go back to our 1970s Policy, in which our focus will once again lie in our European partners and our North and South American partners...we became too comfortable in our position, forgetting that Iran is surrounded by enemies willing to strike at any time and we have forgotten where our true allies and friendships lay..." The announcement comes in motion with the Empress announcing that she sets on visiting Germany, France, United Kingdom and Italy in the coming time with a follow up to United States, Central America, Brazil and La Plata.
The Iranian Nationalism has also reignited itself, with members of the New Unity, Aryan Superiority League and Light and Purity members becoming councillors at the side of the Empress. The leading Councillor of the Council of Ministries, has become Reza Pahlavi, the leader of the Zoroastrian-Nationalistic group, Light and Purity Movement. The country is returning to it's core of Iranian-Liberalism, and with it a shift has occurred in Iran, a shift that is set to influence the Middle East and Asia in the upcoming future. |
[spoiler="Our strength always laid in our patience and conviction. We don't rush, we wait and observe like that mountain leopard, we are waiting for the right time and that time...will come." - Empress Esfir Diba]

Sagrada Familia project in Barcelona receives government support as Royal Family tours construction site
| The Basílica de la Sagrada Família, also known as the Sagrada Família, is a large unfinished Roman Catholic minor basilica in the Eixample district of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Designed by the Spanish architect Antoni Gaudí (18521926), his work on the building is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. On 7 November 2010, Pope Benedict XVI consecrated the church and proclaimed it a minor basilica. The Sagrada Familia project began construction in 1882, and quickly became world-famous as it remains in the process of construction to this day. While the project as sustained itself on private donations, the Spanish government as decided to participate in the construction of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, while also promising to maintain the values and vision of its original designer and architect, Antoni Gaudi. |
| The basilica has been seen by historians and architects alike as an extraordinary interpretation of Gothic architecture, an opinion shared by a majority of Spaniards in Barcelona, who took to the streets earlier this July when news was released that a high-speed underground railway line would be built near the basilica, possibly compromising the site's stability. The Ministry of Transportation and the Ministry of Culture fell into hours and eventually days of discussions and debates, before the Spanish government in Madrid called for the cancellation of the high-speed railway line to prevent 'the possible destruction of a Spanish historical heritage site'. The crisis brought Spanish - and global - attention back to the Sagrada Familia, which for many years had been cast aside and forgotten as construction slowly but surely continued. Prime Minister Augustina Torres commented on the basilica saying, 'the Sagrada Familia basilica is a symbol of Spanish culture, of our Spanish identity, and of Spanish perseverance. This basilica is a representation of the fact that Spaniards don't give up no matter what'. The city government of Barcelona signed a pledge to protect - but not fund nor support financially - the Sagrada Familia project, which eased tensions in a city already plagued by issues due to the Catalan situation. |
| On July 12, His Majesty King Felipe VI, Crown of Spain, announced that he will be personally visiting the Sagrada Familia site in Barcelona, alongside the Royal Family of Spain, consisting of Queen Letizia, Princess Leonor, and Infanta Sofia. Many Spaniards saw the visit has a major victory for the Sagrada Familia project, with some stating that 'it is about time the government recognizes an important Spanish treasure'. King Felipe VI and the Royal Family departed Madrid aboard the royal Dassault Falcon 8X private jet owned by the Spanish monarchy, bound for the well-known Spanish city of Barcelona. The Royal Family arrived to cheering crowds and supportive audiences as the Family made their way, in an armored motorcade, to the site of the famed basilica. |
| As the Sagrada Familia loomed in the distance, King Felipe reportedly commented, 'such a masterpiece' as the Royal Family's limousine made its way through the streets of Barcelona. At the site they were greeted by the Mayor of Barcelona, Ada Colau, the Minister of Culture, and Prime Minister Augustina Torres. The Spanish Prime Minister had departed Madrid a few days prior to meet with Catalan pro-independence activists, before scheduling to meet the Royal Family at the Sagrada Familia. His Majesty King Felipe VI and Princess Leonor, Princess of Asturias, spoke to the large crowd of almost 5,000 Spaniards gathered at the site separately, both royals reiterating the same idea: Spain is and will always be a rich and cultural nation, and the national government will always be working to protect it. King Felipe VI stated, 'Spain is a beautiful and a rich country, and I assure you all we will work our very hardest to protect and support what defines Spain and her people', while his daughter and heir presumptive, Princess Leonor said, 'this basilica behind me is a symbol of Spanish identity and of Spanish culture. This is an embodiment of Spain and her people'. Both royals ended their speeches to loud and resounding applause, which apparently confused some government officials who were under the impression the Catalan people were against the Spanish monarchy. Due to this, it seems the course of the Madrid-Catalan relationship has changed for the better, after the monarchy of Spain assured the protection of Catalan culture and interests without compromising the Kingdom of Spain. The Royal Family toured the already constructed parts of the basilica, before returning to Madrid on July 16. |
| In another surprising move that analysts attribute to the apparent fame of the Royal Family in Catalonia, King Felipe VI announced the official start of Spanish government support for the Sagrada Familia project, with an investment of $5 million USD into the basilica's construction. The Ministry of Culture and the Royal Family, specifically Princess Leonor, are reportedly attempting to secure another $15 million USD for investment into the basilica, to fast track construction for a late 2024 completion. These talks between the Cortes Generales and the Ministry of Culture and Princess Leonor are reportedly going well, according to inside sources. With that, many Spaniards have stated that the monarchy has changed for the better, with a whopping 91% of Spaniards looking forward to the eventual reign of Princess Leonor of Spain. The Spanish government has stated this Wednesday that they will be taking a more active role in the protection and support of national culture and identity. |

| BERLIN, GERMANY |
[sub]18th of July, 2024[/sub]
| Arriving in Berlin during the midday hours was the jet carrying Her Majesty, Empress of Iran, Esfir Diba. It has become clear that Empress Esfir has taken on a new diplomatic route for Iran, one that dates back to 1970s and that she and her cabinet are ready to deliver on the new path. Germany and Iran have had good relations since the 1932 but it was after 1953 that the two countries began their growing cooperation and friendship which was later solidified in 1974 through the EU-Iran Trade Deal and the highly close cooperation and alliance between the two countries throughout the 1970s. During the 1980s and 1990s, the two countries continued their cooperation on a close footing but during the 2000s the situation began to shift. By 2010s, with closer allegiance with SGRI, Germany and Iran grew distant and despite continuing support of one another the cooperation had not reached it's 1970s height. That is about to be changed.
Stepping out of the jet, wearing a long beautiful azure dress with a dark navy scarf going around it, the Empress smiled and waved at the people and press gathered. Making her way to whoever was to meet her, she would smile and hold her dignity and posture as the German sun beamed on her well kept skin despite her age. |

| IRAN CUTS TIES WITH RUSSIA / IRAN DOES NOT RECONGISE THE GOLESTAN TURKIC REPUBLIC |
[sub]12th of July, 2024[/sub]
| Iranian Companies in Russia have began their mass departure, with many leaving off to Europe, Korea and Japan. Many established themselves within Russia during the SGRI but after the invasion, the companies have now announced their major departure. With the companies leaving, Empress Esfir has announced the cut of ties between Russia and Iran. The ties between the two states have been rather good since the 1950s even during the Soviet years. Now, the ties have been cut and the Iranian embassy within Russia has been closed down. The links between Russia and the Persian Gulf have also now been suspended as all borders with Russia through the Caucasian area have been shut down. The exact same measures have been introduced in relations to Central Asia. In addition to that, the Iranian State will not and has not recognised the Golestan Turkic Republic as an independent nation and Empress Esfir has announced that "...any country recognising Golestan as an independent country, recognises the injustice and the brutality that has been dealt against Iranian people, and that is not acceptable by the standards of Iran..." |

Project Azm comes to a close; Al Khalid 2 Tank Comes Into Mass Production
The past few years have been eventful for the Pakistani military, as it has been focusing on new technologies and conventional warfare more, making its own equipment. And today, the Pakistani Government has announced the end of it, as it has been an overall success. The highlights are a new MALE UAV, a 5th Generation fighter jet which would be the latest to come out so far, and finally Pakistan's own long range SAM system.
The medium-altitude long-endurance UAV is called the ZF-1 Viper, and it is a combat drone. The UAV has both air to air and air to surface weapon capabilities, allowing it to further Pakistan's drone group and mass produce it more. It is likely to be used in fighting against the remnants of terrorist groups in Northern Afghanistan if the situation rises.
Next is the 5th Generation Fighter Jet, which is called the PF-X. It was built with the knowledge Pakistani engineers had gained from working with Peking Zhongguo on multiple projects. It will be entering production in 1-2 years, but it has been finalized and will be undertaking trials and drills to ensure its success and viability.
Finally, we have the Pakistani Surface to Air System, which has been named the Durrani, after the famous empire which encompassed all of Afghanistan, Pakistan and more, the forefather of the modern nation we have now. It has been noted as a major accomplishment, as it is Pakistan's first indigenous SAM System. It is expected to be put into production very soon, and be deployed on the borders and coasts.
An addition to all of this is the sequel to the famous Al-Khalid Tank. It is noted for its speed, and the new updates include a 1500 horsepower engine, having a top speed of 70-85 km/h. Updates also include an enhanced powerpack, and a better fire/gun control system for maximum capability.
All of this has been compounded the fact that Pakistan's biggest land border neighbor, Iran, has started mass mobilization. It has been a major concern as the instability in Iran may have an effect on Pakistan, with the Russian invasion and then the border lockdown, taking it as a future sign for tensions. Therefore, this concludes the article on Pakistan's defense industry so far.

2024 JULY
MOSCOW - RUSSIAN FEDERATION[/B]
[LIST][B]RUSSIA, PREPARED FOR CONTINUED CONFLICT URGES AN END TO PROVOCATIONS[/B][/LIST]
Irans violation of the agreement securing Georgian and Armenian sovereignty was grave provocation and a rookie foreign policy decision. As the sole adherent to such agreement, and thus the defender of Georgian and Armenian sovereignty, the Russian Federation beholden to the Georgian and Armenian people embarked on a war of liberation in the Caucasus Region. Russias swift military action, with troops experienced as a result of the SGRI campaigns, would see the conflict end within a month. Following would be the reassertion of state sovereignty in Georgia and Armenia, the liberation of the oppressed Azeri Turks in Azerbaijan, and the establishment of the Turkic Republic of Golestan. With the regions on the road to transitioning to democracy, and despite a ceasing of armed conflict, the Iranian state continues its provocations despite no treaty being in place.
Following the ceasing of conflict, the rogue Iranian state has increased troop presence on its borders in the Caucuses, with the Turkic Republic of Golestan, and Turkestan. Instead of concluding the conflict legally, Iran has embarked again on a provocative stance, one that will not be accepted in a technical state of war. The General Staff of the Armed Forces has ordered the 49th and 54th armies to step away from its stabilising efforts and begin its repositioning to the frontier regions of Armenia and Azerbaijan, readying for potential assault into Iran. Russias Caspian Sea Flotilla and the Black Sea Fleets, the same naval forces used in the conflict, have similarly been placed on immediate standby by General Staff of the Armed Forces, in preparation for potential assault on Iran.
Russian Ambassador to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Sergei Kozlov urges Tehran to cease its obvious provocations, stating that such obvious provocations by Iran risks continued conflict, and restricts the possibility of peace by treaty. Similarly, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov urged regional states to apply similar diplomatic pressure in the face of rogue and absurd provocations by a state grappling with severe internal and external challenges. Russia, a peace loving state, certainly hopes for redirection in Tehran's current policies, so that the conflict can be legally concluded by treaty.

[list]August, 2024[/list]
Air Defenses Deployed To Border Amid Iranian Aggression
______________
Today the Defense Ministry confirmed the deployment of new air defense equipment to the eastern border with Iran. Defense Minister Khalid al-Obaidi confirmed that the move was in direct response to Iran's verbal designation of the Arab States as an enemy and the massing of troops on the Arab-Iran border. Additional concerns include the ongoing but currently paused war between Russia, Turkestan, and Iran, as well as Iran's decision to renege on the Arab-Persian Accords.
The Army has deployed 10x MIM-104 Patriot SAM systems, 20x Pantsir S-1 SAM systems, and 30x 2K12 Kub SAM systems. These encompass short, medium, and long-range anti-air capabilities. These will be deployed to strategic areas along the border, including major towns and cities, but also to the many hills and mountains the dominate the border. Accompanying these anti-air capabilities will be 30 Mig-29 air-superiority fighters. The fighters will be conducting regular patrol sorties all along the border, remaining 10 kilometers off the border itself.
The clearly defensive nature of these deployments should be evidence that the Arab States have no aggressive intent with Tehran and are only responding to Tehran's own deployment of extra troops to the border. Defense Minister al-Obaidi implored Iran to seek diplomatic solutions, stating: "So long as Iran commits itself to a foreign policy of aggression and stoking of tensions, the Middle East will know no peace. It is imperative Iran cease its posturing and seek diplomatic solutions to the Caucasian War."
______________
[ SECRET ]
The capacity of the central government to extend control to the Arab States' most rural areas is thin. Despite the outcome of the Hijri Rebellion, many tribes retain arms and influence in their areas, and it is not always in the interest of the state to challenge this. One such place is Easter Iraq State, where the tribal militias help patrol the mountains for the government in exchange for autonomy in conduct. With Iran stoking tension the Defense Ministry reaches out to the Shi'ite tribes. They make a rare offer: to extend not just continued autonomy in policing their territory but to be provided arms and support from the central government. In exchange, the tribes will commit militiamen and guerilla fighters to patrolling and reconnaissance on the Iranian border. They will pass their findings back along to Military Intelligence officers embedded with the tribes.

DIPLOMATIC ACTIVITY
THE RENEWAL OF THE GERMANO-IRANIAN UNIQUENESS
The return of an Empress of Iran was met with great expectations. The relations between Germany and Iran have always been considered to be unique in a sense that Iran was always seen as a beacon of trust in the middle of unstable and often untrust worthy nations except Israel. By 2015, the relations between both countries were degraded highly from A2 to B. This had never happened in 60 years of established relations between both nations.
There were big topics to discuss and especially the future of both countries. Would there be more ties ? Would they get in agreement on their political objectives and promise to support each other in an unstable region ?
For this event, Greta Scheffner expect the Empress at the Castle of Berlin. It was extremely hot on this day of july 27th and the escort was met with flags of Iran and Germany everywhere. But also tension.
On tv, the headlines were mixed "WILL GERMANY TRUST IRAN? ANSWER SOON" ; "STAKES ARE HIGH, SCHEFFNER TO KNOW IF A RETURN OF GOOD RELATIONS IS POSSIBLE"; "A COLD WELCOME BY GERMANS, A WARMER BY THE CHANCELLOR ?"
Indeed, while the arrival of the Empress surely was a sign that there was hope, there was also a feeling, among the general population, that Iran had "betrayed" Germany and kept itself in a very difficult positions between SGRI and Europe and tried to get both ways.
The Empress would arrive at the gates and greet Greta Scheffner. They would then walk along the red carpet and inspect the Prussian Guard with the anthems. At the end of the inspection, the two leaders would walk up the stairs to the entry door, turn towards the cameras and smile for the pictures and then come inside.
A handful of journalists could continue filming the event as both leaders walked slowly inside the Castle towards the meeting room exchanging random talks. Scheffner would point to various portraits of Chancellors during which relations between Iran and Germany were thriving, mainly during the ending Chancellery of Müller and the start of Katherina Erman. Also presented were some gifts by Iran on display such locally made cloth "in celebration of 30 years of our friendship".
They finally join the meeting room and journalists are asked to wait outside.

The private motorcade would bring the Korean King to the front roundabout of the Palace as the massive complex glimmered in marble and gold. Awaiting at the front door would be King Al-Waleed bin Talal al-Saud and seemingly now the 2nd most powerful man in all the Kingdom, Minister of Defense & Foreign Affairs Prince Nasser bin Hamad al-Khalifa al-Saud. Both individuals would be wearing their traditional thawbs and keffiyeh as they watched the motorcade arrive and come to a halt. With members of the Royal Guard Regiment quickly approaching the vehicle to open the door for the Korean King whilst giving him a kind salute and bow, King Talal and Prince Nasser would approach King Ahnjong with smiles on their faces.
King Talal al-Saud:
[list][sub]"King Ahnjong. It is such a great pleasure to finally meet you and put name to face. I hope and trust that your travels was well?"[/sub][/list]

DIPLOMATIC ACTIVITY - GERMANY AND ARABIA TO SET THEIR RELATIONS STRAIGHT
Of major players in the Middle East came Alzarikstan. Greta Scheffner knowing the importance of such player asked her Minister of Foreign Affairs Angela Merkel to make visit to the Saudi Kingdom in order to draft a first basis of relations. Expectations for the meeting have been deemed uncertain with all possibilities open. Most experts believe that the relations between both countries could remain "cordial" despite the conflict between it and Galla.
The Airbus A350neo of the German Republic landed safely in blazing hot weather that was not very suited for the Germanic weather that Dr.Merkel is used to. Along with her were several business representatives of Germany hoping to promote their companies during this occasion.

Abu Dhabi, Kingdom of Alzarikstan
The arrival of the German delegation was one with most intrigue giving the current state of tensions within the region between Iran to the North and the Galla to the South. The arrival of Angela Merkel did give some members of the Saudi government some hope; however, it brought some concern and intrigue especially with Germany being the bastion of Ordoliberalism and Ermanist social principles that are mostly in line with the Iranian-based liberalism that dominated the Middle East for decades. At the Abu Dhabi International Airport, Prince Nasser bin Hamad al-Khalifa al-Saud would be the designated representative to meet with Angela Merkel and her delegation. King Talal al-Saud would be awaiting the Germans at the Palace of the Nation complex, where the meeting is set to occur.
Prince Nasser would be wearing his military uniform, as he is also a designated Major General in the Saudi Armed Forces. With a firm and charming smile on his face, Prince Nasser would approach the delegation with warm welcomes.
Minister of Defense & Foreign Affairs Prince Nasser bin Hamad al-Khalifa al-Saud:
[list][sub]"Madam Minister Merkel, it is a great pleasure to have you come Arabia. I trust that your travels was safe? I can assure you that King Talal is surely looking forward to meeting with you as he is awaiting your arrival at the grand palace here in Abu Dhabi."[/sub][/list]

GRUPO PANTERA / PANTERA GROUP - SECURITY AND MILITARY SOLUTIONS FOR ANY BUDGET
JULY 2024
[spoiler=Disclaimer, please read]
Due to the nature of this Group as a PMC i did not specifically ask people for weapons however did my best to use weapons that are readily available around the globe and have diverse users, as such the possibility of them being acquired by non-states would be more likely. If you dont want me to use a specific weapon, feel free to mention such.
[/spoiler]
Grupo Pantera exists as the largest worldwide Private Military Contractor, made possible due to loose regulations on their sector and active support by the Centroamerican Government. While it remains one of the largest Corporations in the Country, and one of the largest in terms of annual growth, Grupo Pantera retains no interest in the Corporate structure of the Government in order to maintain its neutrality and therefore reputation as a non-political broker of security. Having been created in 1984 it has taken part in countless conflicts, both civil and international, both on the losing and winning sides of many such confrontations. Grupo Pantera prides itself on its motto "Security for any Budget, no matter where in the World", which it makes possible with an arsenal of weapons both old and new.
It stands as the largest Privately Armed Group in Central America, possibly the Americas overall, however the core of its operations are to serve as anti-guerilla forces within Centroamerica.
Services provided by Grupo Pantera both currently and in the past include :
[spoiler=- Munitions production]
Grupo Pantera retains Munitions production facilities both in Centroamerica and abroad producing a wide array of munitions both for the usage of Grupo Pantera Military assets and foreign purchasers. These facilities operate with mobility in mind, and as such local facilities can be requested and leased by foreign regimes and governments for small arms munitions and small caliber shells.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=- Military Vehicle production (currently active only for GP usage and purposes)]
Grupo Pantera operates Vehicle production facilities in its home-city of Bluefields, where it currently produces copied variants of the German Wiesel APC. While foreign orders can be placed for select vehicles, it currently only produces for GP usage.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=- Air+Land+Sea Transportation Services, Military]
Grupo Pantera operates Transportation Vehicles on Air Land and Sea, and as such leases out capacity to foreign Regimes in the event that they are unable to meet emergency military needs or require a third party transportation of their goods, which would go forward under the flag of Centroamerica.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=- Air+Land+Sea Transportation Services, Civil]
Grupo Pantera alternatively leases out capacity for civil needs, for example emergency shipments of medical and food goods. This service is widely utilized as Services include active protection by GP personnel and as such the safety of the goods are assured against Pirates or Rebel Forces.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=- Air-to-Air Protection Services (active, no currently existing contracts)]
During the late 90s and early 2000s Grupo Pantera provided active air-to-air protection services, mainly provided at the time to African Regimes facing regional threats. The service did not see widespread demand as many African Countries decommissioned many Aircraft in their Air Forces as the threat level across the continent declined. GP does however still offer this service.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=- Law Enforcement]
GP continues to offer Law Enforcement, which is one of its prime services and one of the most popular. It possesses specialized personnel in this field who are trained in multiple languages, and come from different countries across the world. GP attempts to utilize only locally born personnel where possible, however this is not always possible in certain regions. It offers either direct Services of training services to local personnel
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=- Guerilla/Rebel/Cartel Suppression Services]
Through decades of anti-Cartel and anti-Rebel activities in Centroamerica, GP has gained unique experience in the sector and has prided itself on its success rates abroad using these tactics. It offers either direct Services of training services to local personnel.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=- Air Defense Services]
Popular with Regimes that possess little to no air power but are actively under threat of air attack are GP's Air Defense Services, which include SAM & AA Systems provided for the protection of key areas (civil and military). GP regularly provides self sustained protection to such Air Defense sites, as in many cases local Forces are not able to be trusted to provide experienced protection.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=- Maritime enforcement services]
Grupo Pantera offers Maritime protection and enforcement Services to Countries across the world that lack their own naval or coastal guard forces to enforce their maritime zones or laws. Additionally they provide training for anti-piracy operations to smaller Navies and Coast Guards in order to better prepare them for possible hostile scenarios.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=- National defense services]
National Defense Services or NDS consists of the full package of protection and service for a Country. Meant mainly for Countries which do not have the financial means to sustain their own military, NDS services provide long term and uninterrupted protection of a Country at multiple budget levels. The cost Benefit ratio of this service compared to maintaining, training and hiring an independent military is self evident and the impartiality of forces make military coup's a thing of the past.

Glencore Begins Operations In Afghani Mines; Kabul New City Project Revitalized and Sped Up
Since the union, there has been a fast influx of investments as finally Afghanistan would be stable, with the Taliban agreeing to peace terms, including 6 billion USD from Alzarikstan and 7 billion USD from Abessinienreich, which Pakistan has thanked its Islamic brothers for. With that, Pakistan has proved itself to be a stable nation and will begin a period of growth, where we have been blessed with vast mineral resources worth up to more than 3 trillion USD, the world's largest supply of lithium and lapis lazuli, and countless more to be named. Therefore, the first move was to invite mining companies, and who better than the biggest one, Glencore. In negotiations, they were promised 15-20% of the market if they built mining infrastructure for local and future mines, to help provide incentive to kickstart the industry, as an initiative. Today, they have officially started operations in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
Kabul New City is an 80 billion dollar project approved in 2007 to revitalize Kabul. However, it fell behind in recent years, but the recent influx of investments has basically saved it from obscurity, with it expected to be finished by 2027-8. Its objectives are to develop new townships of homes and businesses on 1700 acres of land to the north of Kabul. It will construct about 80,000 housing units for a population of 400,000, develop essential infrastructure, and finally create the Barikab Agricultural Economic Zone. This is expected to be home to 3 million Pakistanis by 2040, and will spearhead the development of Afghanistan. It will create more than a million jobs, provide a high quality environment for key industries, commerce, education, employment and more. This adds on to Pakistan's giant IT and Tech sector, which by far shows the most potential, with more than 20,000 IT graduates each year, with more than 1000 tech startups started 2010, 70% still being functional. Its expected to be a major economic hub in the future, with its mineral resources being put into use near it, being Asia's fastest growing IT sector. Water and energy had been a problem in the past for this project, but with the union happening, the power grids are being linked up and water being connected. The project has been given national priority on top of others, as experts say this is Kabul's saving grace from decline.

| KINGDOM OF SPAIN |
| GOBIERNO IMPERIAL DE ESPAÑA |
______________
Spanish elected government continues to fracture as Spanish armed forces take an interest in Paramerican F-35s to replace ageing Harrier II jets
| The elected government of the Kingdom of Spain continued to fracture even more earlier today as the Prime Minister, Augustina Torres, and her Citizens Party (Cs) mounted a daring resistance against the joint coalition of the PSOE (Spanish Socialist Workers Party) and the unofficial military group led by Spanish general Miguel Villarroya. The ongoing bureaucratic struggle between the Prime Minister's party, the Citizens Party (Cs), and an unofficial coalition between the Spanish Socialist Workers Party (PSOE) and a group of Spanish military commanders led by Gen. Villarroya has caused a fracture in the stability of the elected Spanish government. While Prime Minister Augustina Torres remains the head of government of the state, many Spaniards believe military and opposition forces are attempting to seize power from pro-peace officials in order to bring to fruition Spain's renewed imperialist goals. |
| Following the Prime Minister's crushing defeat with the passing of a momentous change to Spain's foreign policy, the Spanish government struggled to pass new minor legislation such as a minor educational reform bill to encourage the use of the Montessori system of education, as well as a bill to increase funding for the Instituto Nacional de Aeronautica (INDA), Spain's civilian space program which is currently preparing to reverse engineer missiles to transform them into civilian, unarmed scientific sounding rockets. One bill, however, that is currently trudging its way through the Cortes Generales is a military request to purchase new VSTOL-capable fighter jets for the Spanish Air Force and Navy, due to the growing age of Spain's current AV-8B Harrier II fleet from the United Kingdom. |
| The Spanish Navy, in particular her flagship, the Juan Carlos I amphibious assault ship, is highly dependent on the use of VSTOL aircraft such as the Harrier II to fly Spanish fighter jets from the decks of the Juan Carlos I. The AV-8B Harrier II VSTOL multirole fighter has been in service with air forces around the world since 1985, an extremely long time in fighter jet terms. Since the introduction of the Harrier II, vastly new radar and weapons systems have been introduced into the fighter jet stage, most of which make substantial differences when in actual combat. Due to this, the Spanish Air Force and the Navy began seeking a replacement for their ageing Harrier II fleets. While the Navy had a larger and more substantial interest in VSTOL fighters, the Air Force also saw a modern, 5th generation multirole combat fighter with VSTOL capabilities as an ideal future fighter for the Spanish military. Of course, both branches had one - and the same - fighter in mind. |
| The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II from the United States of Paramerica is a stealth multirole combat aircraft that is intended to perform both air superiority and strike missions. It is also able to provide electronic warfare and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities. Lockheed Martin is the prime F-35 contractor, with principal partners Northrop Grumman and BAE Systems. The aircraft has three main variants: the conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) F-35A, the short take-off and vertical-landing (STOVL) F-35B, and the carrier-based (CV/CATOBAR) F-35C. Although criticized by many as an overpriced aircraft, pilots of the F-35 have expressed their love and comfort when flying the jet, which takes a substantial amount of work and hands it over to the computer for refinement and execution, to reduce the pressure on the pilot. At $85 million USD per unit for the F-35A and $100 million per unit for the F-35B, the F-35 is certainly extremely expensive. The cost is added onto by the substantial upkeep and mission operations cost of $35,000 per hour. While the steep prices might scare away most civilians, the Air Force and Navy have expressed great interest in purchasing F-35s to replace the ageing F/A-18 and Harrier II fleets. |
| How is politics, the Spanish government, and its growing divisions within related to this? To put it simply, Prime Minister Augustina Torres believes - and is most probably right according to experts - that a possible Paramerican sale of F-35s to Spain will not happen because of Spain's apparent imperialistic stance and goals. The Prime Minister stated during a debate with PSOE party leader Pedro Sanchez, 'You really think Washington will sell F-35 fighters - which Gen. Villarroya stated only days ago were vital to the national air defense shield of the country - to a nation that is exhibiting imperialist ideals in the 21st century?'. The Prime Minister went on to request a reconsideration of the pro-imperialist ideals of the military by the Cortes, but was rejected immediately by the PSOE. However, the Prime Minister's statements placed Gen. Villarroya and his general staff into deep thought. Would it be worth sacrificing a strong military alliance with the United States for the sake of extending Spanish influence? This question divided the Spanish leadership even more, with Villarroya's general staff splitting over what to do. Over the next few days, the Spanish government nearly went into shutdown as the Cortes debated, argued, and even rioted over a final decision. |
| Finally, the Cortes and the Spanish government agreed to a compromise. The Spanish Prime Minister will head a committee of experts and politicians - from the PSOE, the Cs, and the military establishment - to contemplate, evaluate, and investigate the situation. By July 21, the committee, named the Valentine Commission for no particular reason, will state to the Cortes Generales an official recommendation. This gave them five days to come up with a recommendation, which placed stress on the members of the committee. General Villarroya stated on July 18 that he is willing to compromise with the elected government as the Budget Allocation Committee prepared to announce their recommendation for Spain's next fighter, either the F-35 or the Eurofighter Typhoon. |

[list][sub]President Bolsonaro Announces A Revival of Brazil's Space Program NASA Partners With AEB To Produce An Indigenous Satellite Launch Vehicle![/sub]
[pre]August 4, 2024[/pre]
| President Jair Messias Bolsonaro announced a bold initiative last Friday, when speaking to the press just outside of the Palácio da Alvorada, in Brasília. The Brazilian Space Agency (Agência spacial Brasileira; AEB), has been neglected over the past decade and its space port at Alcântara Space Center, rented off for other nations for use. However, 30 years after Brazil's last indigenous satellite launch, the VLS program has been given the green light once more. In the past, the VLS satellite launch vehicle proved to be inefficient and was cancelled after decades of development and high expenditures. This time, with the help of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA | Paramountica), the dream of designing an efficient, practical, and reliable satellite launch vehicle can finally be realized. |
| In addition, over the next 10 years, the President announced that he hopes that Brazil would be able to send a man into space with its own super heavy-lift launch vehicle and capsule capable of sustained crewed orbit and reentry. The crewed project, nicknamed 'Cabral' after Portuguese explorer Pedro Álvares Cabral who discovered Brazil, will be the AEB's most daunting task, and a task that President Bolsonaro feels they are up for. The Cabral program will be developed simultaneously with the joint NASA/AEB Veículo ançador de Satélites II to maximize efficiency and meet the 10-year deadline set by the President. |
| The space center at Alcântara and its Space port will be redesigned, refurbished, and expanded to include new facilities for the development of the joint projects and allow for larger heavier launchers capable of taking satellites and humans into space, to take off from Alcântara. Meanwhile, the selection for astronauts is under way. Veteran Brazilian astronaut Marcos Cesar Pontes, Brazils first man in space, will be the head of the team tasked to train the new recruits for their eventual missions in space. |
| The current budget of the AEB stands at $46.702 million dollars. Over the next 3 years, it will be raised to 2.4 billion to coincide with President Bolsonaros bold new space initiative. The extra 2.35 billion is necessary to overhaul the AEB and develop a new launcher capable of delivering satellites into orbit in addition to the Cabral program and Brazil's manned flight ambitions. |
"The future of Brazil is up there." Bolsonaro said as he pointed towards the heavens. "Space is the final frontier and the destiny of humanity. All around the world, nations have started to venture into space. Let it be known that Brazil will not fall behind in the effort to expand our presence beyond earth. The Brazilian people are an industrious hard-working society. Over the next 10 years, I hope that Brazil will continue on the path of modernization and technological evolution to propel our nation into a bright glorious future. The time has come for Brazil to once again venture into space and take our place amongst the few who have boldly sent humans into the Cosmos."[/list]

Soviet joke:
The CIA, the GIGN, and the KGB are all trying to prove they are the best at catching criminals. The Secretary General of the UN decides to set them a test. He releases a rabbit into a forest, and each of them has to catch it.
The CIA people go in. They place animal informants throughout the forest. They question all plant and mineral witnesses. After three months of extensive investigations, they conclude that the rabbit does not exist.
The GIGN goes in. After two weeks with no leads they burn the forest, killing everything in it, including the rabbit, and make no apologies: the rabbit had it coming.
The KGB goes in. They come out two hours later with a badly beaten bear. The bear is yelling: "Okay! Okay! I'm a rabbit! I'm a rabbit!"

[sub]Korean General Election 2024[/sub][/list]
| [sub]The day of the Korean General Election had arrived following a sixty-day campaign called after the failed vote to approve Kim Jong-cheol as Prime Minister. Kim had succeeded Sim Sang-jung as leader of the Justice Party and had hoped to following on as Prime Minister, however the abstaintion of Democratic Spring saw the vote fall through and no alternatives were submitted.[/sub] |
| [sub]Following several leaders debates; campaigning; and door-knocking, Democratic Spring had built itself a decent lead over the Liberty Korea Party, with the Justice Party vote in almost free-fall for most of the campaign. Yi Jung-hee, the son of King Ahnjong, who dramatically renounced his royal titles has proven himself to be a popular figure amonst the people and his negotiation of a merger with his party and the existing Democratic Party has allowed him to consolidate the centre to centre-left vote as well as some figures on the centre-right. Na Kyung-won, the leader of Liberty Korea, is hoping to rebuild her party following the near wipeout in 2022. The right has been in perpetual decline since the fall of Park Geun-hye in 2019, Na has managed to reverse this decline to some extent, and hopes that she'll be able to provide good enough results to stay on as leader until the next election when she believes her party will have a shot at power.[/sub] |
| [sub]As polls closed, and the votes began to be counted the extent of Democratic Springs victory became clear quite quickly. The seat that Yi Jung-hee was standing, Goyang A, was one of the earliest to declare. The seat of former Justice Party leader Sim Sang-jung fell easily to Yi with him taking home 65% of the vote from nothing, the Justice Party fell back to a meger 12% in the seat. More seats started to mirror a similar pattern as Democratic Spring ran up high numbers in seats across the country, meanwhile in the south-east of the country the Liberty Korea Party had made a comeback on their home turf with the party running up some healthy totals particularly in the city of Daegu and the regions North Gyeongsang and Gangwon. Turnout in a lot of seats was nearing the mid-80s to the low 90s, leaving the counters and election administrators admitting it may take a lot longer then usual to finish counting. By 10:30 am the next day the final appointment of the list votes was declared, with the final results looking like this:[/sub] |[list]
[*] Democratic Spring - 민주적 봄
[sup]Leader: Yi Jung-hee[/sup]
46.12% (+15.19*), Seats: 377 (+202*)
[*] Liberty Korea Party - 자유한국당
[sup]Leader: Na Kyung-won [/sup]
28.35% (+9.71), Seats: 125 (+35)
[*] Justice Party - 정의당
[sup]Leader: Kim Jong-cheol[/sup]
17.41% (-17.68), Seats: 67 (-141)
[*] Green Party Korea - 녹색당
[sup]Leader: Seong Mi-seon [/sup]
7.47% (+0.96), Seats: 18 (+1)
[*] Independents
[sup]Leader: N/A [/sup]
Seats: 13 (+5)[/list]
| [sub]The results show a landslide victroy by Democratic Spring, the party narrowly missed out on winning a two-thirds majority allowing them to pass amendments to the constitution with ease. The size of the Democratic Spring's majority will allow for a function National Assembly almost certainly without a deadlock, on the results of the election the stock markets rallied as trading opened high in Korea. Yi Jung-hee is likely to be the next Prime Minister following a vote in the National Assembly next week, and will pose an interesting new reality as the Prince now turned almost certain Prime Minister will have to adjust to his new role in Korea.[/sub] |

"The Turks?" Bolsonaro scoffed in utter disgust. "They're lucky they're even in NATO to begin with. I don't know who informed the Turkish Government that the Turkic peoples of Central Asia and Iran are Turkish, but they need to get their heads evaluated. Turkic peoples are as Turkish as English people are German. If anything, it just shows the imperialist ambitions of the Turkish Government." The Brazilian President would wave his hand dismissively at the reporter interviewing him. "Erdogan, the Sultan, whoever the hell is in charge over there, I don't know these days...They'll never be relevant again. The Ottoman Empire as it was, is dead. Turkey should accept that fact and quit claiming peoples that don't belong to it."

Valentine Commission rules against Spanish imperialist goals after Foreign Ministry reveals Spanish foreign relations are compromised due to 'excessive imperialistic rhetoric'
| Cameras flashed as Spanish Prime Minister Augustina Torres appeared at a press conference with other experts and politicians behind her. The nation had waited six days - one day over the deadline - for the ruling of the Valentine Commission, a special committee of experts and politicians headed by the Prime Minister, formed to evaluate the recently passed change to Spain's foreign policy that clearly exhibits imperialistic ambitions, and to establish a ruling or recommendation for a course of action. Two days prior to the press conference, Pedro Sanchez, General Miguel Villarroya, Prime Minister Augustina Torres, and other high profile members of the Cortes Generales pledged to uphold and respect the decision by the Valentine Commission. |
| As the Commission dug into research and investigation, however, a new issue came up that swept Spanish public opinion sharply in favor of Prime Minister Torres and her anti-imperialistic stance. The issue that swept public opinion - and the eventual change of decision by the Commission - was the newly announced Diplomatic Profile of the Arab Federal States in the Middle East. The Spanish government - both the Prime Minister's side and the opposition - were united in the belief that foreign relations with other countries, especially in North America and the Middle East, are to be prioritized by Spain. After the Diplomatic Profile of the AFS revealed that Baghdad regarded Spain-AFS relations as 'strained', the opposition collapsed and the Prime Minister's side eventually won the battle. The opposition, led by Pedro Sanchez, and to a smaller extent General Villarroya, agreed that relations with other countries should be prioritized and put in a spot of importance. This was further backed by a Foreign Ministry testimony before the Valentine Commission, in which the Minister of Foreign Affairs stated that Spain's 'excessive imperialistic rhetoric' was compromising foreign relations with other countries, as well as Spain's military alliance with Western nations such as the United States. |
| On the 22nd of July, 2024, all members of the Valentine Commission submitted their official recommendations as individuals, then as the group. Many were pleasantly surprised when the Cortes Generales announced that the Commission had ruled against Spain's imperialistic goals, with a unanimous vote in favor of this motion. Prime Minister Augustina Torres reportedly stated to the Cortes, 'the right decision has been made today. A great decision, that will not only benefit the government's stability but also world peace as a whole'. The Cortes Generales approved the revoking of the change to the foreign policy previously announced by General Villarroya's group of military commanders. King Felipe VI, Crown of Spain, formally signed into law the new ruling on the same day. While nationalist parties in Spain protested the move through peaceful demonstrations and a handful of riots, most of the country was united in the belief that this was the right path to walk, for both the country and the fragile world peace. |
| With the revoking of all Spanish imperialistic rhetoric, Prime Minister Augustina Torres has expressed her willingness to expand and consolidate relations with the Arab Federal States, saying that 'peace, solidarity, and unity in our current world - especially in the Middle East - is something we all need right now'. The Spanish Air Force and Navy has also openly expressed through public service announcements that the Spanish military is still open to purchasing F-35B fighters from Paramountica, a statement that was to be expected considering the near-instant agreement of the Spanish military to the ruling of the Valentine Commission. While the Armed Forces continues modernization, the Spanish government has stated time and time again that 'imperialistic and colonialistic rhetoric will be halted immediately, as they have no place in our modern and civilized society', but military commanders have not directly expressed support for the new ruling, which could point to some things happening in the near future. |

Kampala, The Republic of Uganda
June, 2024 - Uganda Seeks Unification But Sudan Hesitates
Almost two months had since passed with July around the corner since the war in Uganda has raged, the Sudanese military had by far kept the Gallan invasion of Uganda contained to only being a stalemate war between Sudo-Ugandan defense forces and the Gallan invasion forces however as the war raged on the country's war time economy itself became heavily dependant on Khartoum with supplies, support on the battlefield, and aid to an improvised population. However that dependency has created a new change of events as calls for unification become louder and more prevalent as it seemed the Ugandan people needed the direct protection of the rights from Khartoum itself.
The Orange Line:
New critical information had been shared with Uganda following the secret phone call on the Orange Line between Sudanese Prime Minister Salva Kiir, Ugandan President Bobi Wine, and Sudanese/Ugandan Army General George A. Deng. The phone call started with Kiir asking Wine what he thought about hosting a Congo military base in Uganda only for the President to refuse any non-Anglo aid in Uganda. However the President was concerned over a possible Congolese intervention in Uganda but Kiir had assured him that Congo would do no such thing as long as Sudan doesn't annex Uganda which Kiir believes Sudan had no interests in doing so. However unkown to the president, President Wine had something to say about that on the phone call:
[list]Pres. Bobi Wine :| "About that Prime Minister... my cabinet and I personally have been discussing for a number of days in holding a nation wide referendum on unification with Sudan... this didn't come as a result of growing calls for unification but we have conducted a number of surveys and studying trends among the population and an overwhelming majority believes in a better life under the Sudanese banner!"
PM Salva Kiir :| "...Lord give me strength are you serious right now Mr. President! W-why on earth would they support their sovereignty being stripped from them that's madness!"
Gen. Athor Deng :| "if I may say something Prime Minister but Bobi is right, you can see it yourself in the eyes of their people. They think they will gain more sovereignty under Sudan. A free and prosperous nation of people."
PM Salva Kiir :| "I'll tell you what... how about we do have that referendum and see what the Ugandan people think. If they do indeed want unification like you say they do then they shall show that democratically. But again I doubt such a concept is possible."[/list]
And so with further discussion in the Orange Line, President Bobi Wine of the Ugandan Republic had held a meeting with his cabinet of the Transitional Government following the call whete the cabinet has overwhelmingly voted to hold the National Referendum Of Ugandan Unification With Sudan that shall be held by the first day of July and end within a week. The government has mobilised with the help of the Sudanese and Ugandan militaries not active in the conflict to set up and establish about almost 600 polling stations across Uganda for almost every 70,000 Ugandans per station. Believing that the future of this country ought to be decided by the younger generations the Ugandan government has announced everyone starting from the age of 14 would be allowed to vote in the referendum would be able to vote which gives about 35 million people the right to vote on the basis of deciding wether Uganda would be better off as a regional administration of a larger and stronger Sudanese Republic or it's better off as a sovereign and free nation. The answer would only come within a week. However Prime Minister Kiir made no comments or provided information to Parliament or his own party on the referendum but it seemed to many MPs that challenges that came with Uganda were more of a legacy in the making than a disaster in the waiting.
July, 2024 - The Referendum Week:
After weeks of preparations, millions of Ugandans would head to the polls in local shools, post offices, and administrative centers in their villages and towns and cities across Uganda after the Transitional Government had announced the opening of the referendum. The vote would go on for a week which was very tense in both Uganda and Sudan. There were protests by nationalist against the referendum as well as protest in Sudan itself by Arab supremacist and Islamic extremists against the referendum.
Never the less the vibe in the air was that of brotherhood and unity as groups of people drove around Uganda with their vehicles decorated in the Sudanese colors of green, red, white and black to try and push the unification agenda. There were even rallies calling for unification and strength in the face of Africa's hostile nations. By the end of the week a number of polling stations across the country have already closed their polls and begin tallying up the votes and with the first day of the second week of July the nation announces the results for the resolutions of the 2024 National Referendum Of Ugandan Unification With Sudan:
Unification With Sudan: 31,530,336
Maintain Ugandan Sovereignty: 4,711,429
The total number of voters is believed to have been about 36.2 million Ugandans who have voted ages 14 and up, with the majority of the nation, being about 87% of The population voting in favour of Unification with Sudan leaving with a sizable number of 4.7 million Ugandans opposing the unification only to make up about 13% of the population. It is not clear what the motives of those who voted against were as it seemed to be scattered and extremely different communities with varying identities voting against but it has become obvious that the nation as a while had voted in favour of becoming Sudanese citizens. But not so fast.
July, 2024 - Sudanese Parliament Questions Referendum
Back in Sudan, the nation sits on edge as it watches and listens to the reports of the unification referendum is broadcasted out of Uganda, however as the results have been announce, Khartoum finds itself more at shock than satisfied. "This was an outrage" as said by some members of the Sudanese Parliament as they argued the illegitimacy of the referendum. This outrage in Parliament would last hours which turned into multiple sessions throughout the week.
Later reports of the Orange Line conversation between Prime Mimister Kiir and Uganda was leaked to the press by a staff member of the Presidential Palace which was then made public. No information was given on what exactly was said on the phone but everyone knew the Orange Line served as direct communications between Khartoum and Kampala, and si the controversy surrounding this call was on the basis that the referendum was announced shortly after the call with many opposition party members accusing Kiir of initiating the referendum. As the days went one Parliament becomes increasingly divided on what the country shall do next regarding the outcome however one thing was obvious, Khartoum cannot simply at this time allow Uganda to become a part of Sudan with many putting the blame on racial, religious, political issues facing the country.
The majority of Liberal Party MPs supported the unification and defended the referendum seeing how Sudan would benefit greatly from having direct acesss to its water source as well as expanding the Sudanese economy with the opening of Ugandan various resources. However the Liberal Party would find itself at odds with its own senior members of Party including Prime Minister Salva Kiir who had become more vocal against the unification despite even admitting that he believes the referendum was legitimate. These stances against the party would then cost you his political career but then again Kiir figgured his age has become a burden on the Party. For the opposition parties however the issue became crucial, primarily in the ranks of the Democratic Unionist Party which found itself divided between its Muslim members against the unification and Southern Chritian members who were all for the unification. That rift in the DUP had sparked a nation wide debate on wether the Muslim Arab north of Sudan would accept becoming minorities in Sudan and wether the unification with Uganda was about handing more power to a Christian African dominant government. Other parties like the Ba'athist and Umma Parties expressing pure outrage against the referendum. The Liberal Party has however once again found itself at a strange coalition once again with the far right Nationalist Conservative Front Party that had shown great support for the unification with Party Leader Osman Mosley (NCFP-West Kordofan) calling it "A great first step in shaping the Sudanese destiny of exporting its way of life throughout the dark continent!" This show of support by the NCFP which is the nation's 3rd largest Party has shown that along with the Liberal Party in favour of unification would manage to get enough votes in Parliament to move ahead with the process. However much to the pleading of Prime Minister Kiir the Liberal Party has sided with the opposition DUP stating that Sudan cannot accept the unification request for the time being seeing how the country is currently fighting a war against The Gallan Empire.
The hesitancy by Parliament however was obvious to many that the question of unification will be brought up soon with many Sudanese supporting the unification from the diverse cities to the south only gain opposition from the rural regions of the Muslim north. Parliament had stated that Sudan will continue direct involvement in the war with Chad and has called on the Ugandan people to be patient as Sudan has not yet made up it's mind on what to do next. It seemed that despite having the majority to make it happen. Prime Minister Kiir would only accept if all 3 major parties presented a United Front in the unification. It is just the beginning of the Sudanese Destiny.
