Lebanese Referendum

After International reactions to the unification of Egypt and Lebanon, Sisi has announced a referendum. International observers for democracy were there observing all polling places, from Sudan, Turkey, and also Brazil. Lebanese people nationwide, all adults of all ethnicities voted. The Results were as followed.

[yes]: 65.7%

[no]: 34.1%

[invalid]: 0.2%

Therefore, even with international observers, it was proven that the unification was just and fair, with most Lebanese people saying yes to the vote, and also rejecting all implications from Iran and Saudi Arabia that say it was rigged.

President Khalil Departs On Diplomatic Tour

___________

The first seven months of the Khalil Presidency have been marked by a pre-occupation with foreign events. The Iranian Crisis utterly destabilized the region and the administration found itself struggling to look inward. Despite criticisms for domestic inaction, President Khalil will be taking his first diplomatic tour outside of the Arab States. Accompanied by Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi and Defense Minister Khaled al-Obaidi, Khalil will visit four countries on his journey. Firstly he will meet in Riyadh, then off to Tripoli, Madrid, and Paris. The meetings are likely relevant to the currently heightened Middle Eastern tensions.

The President Airliner touches down at King Khalid International Airport. President Khalil is escorted to the Saudi Royal Palace and waits to meet with the King or possibly Minister al-Khalifa.

| Only a day after Prime Minister Augustina Torres' inauguration into the office of Prime Minister of Spain, she has made clear that she plans to push through her preliminary agenda at a rapid pace. The Torres Administration Foreign Policy (TAF) was made public only hours ago, detailing the government's new plans for interacting with the international world. ON EUROPE, the Spanish government plans to increase the volume of trade with her European neighbors, specifically France, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, and the UK. Spanish foreign policy on Europe also expresses great interest to get involved more with European Space Agency activities. |

The strengthening of ties with the Republic of Peru is also looked forward to by the country. Spain sees Brazil, La Plata and Peru as valuable allies in the coming years, and hopes to create partnerships to benefit generations to come. |

Foreign Minister Yurac Puyucahua Condems Spanish Government

[pre][/pre]

[pre]Minister of Foreign Affairs Yurac Puyucahua condemned the Spanish government of Augustina Torres today for its use of the term “Peru” to refer to Tawantinsuyu. Peru, the name used by the Spanish colonial government starting in the 1500s, is often used by white supremisicits and its use is seen as a rejection of a Incan-ruled nation in favor of european domination. Speaking with the press, Mr. Puyucahua was quoted saying “Even if it was a mistake, the use of “Peru” in an official communication by the Spanish government speaks volumes to its, at best, ignorance of Spain’s colonial past. Believe me, we have not forgotten.”[/pre]

[pre]The Foreign Minister later offered Torres the chance to attend a lecture on Spanish colonialism hosted by the University of Qusqu, “to refresh the Prime Minister's memory”.

Some Background on Tawantinsuyu

The current government of Tawantinsuyu can best be described as a One Party State, with the Rikch'aq Suyu Kamachina Tantanakuy (Imperial Law Organization) having a monopoly on political power. The Sapa Inca, Emperor of Tawantinsuyu, holds a high degree of power, including the ability to appoint government ministers and dismiss them at will, as well as dissolve Parliament or declare a state of emergency and suspend the constitution. However, no Sapa Inca has exercised these privileges, prefering to let the elected government conduct itself.

The RSKT is far from homogeneous, with three factions competing for influence within the organization. Incumbent Inkap Rantin (Prime Minister) Ansilmu Mamani heads the Conservative faction, which above all else desirses the status quo in Tawantinsuyu. Kenji Fujimori is the leader of the Fujimorists, who tend to advocate for less government intervention in the economy and hardline religious conservatism. Lastly, Túpac Yupanqui leads the reformist faction, who seek to lift many restrictions on civil liberties and create a welfare state without destroying the RSKT.

However, with the coronation of the new Sapa Inca Yawar Waqaq, the Future of Tawantinsuyu is uncertain.

Spanish Cortes Generales assembles for the first time following new election; Prime Minister Torres lays out plan for 2024

| On the 31st of May, the Cortes Generales of the Kingdom of Spain (General Courts or Spanish Parliament) assembled for the first time following the national elections earlier in the month. The Cortes Generales are the bicameral legislative chambers of Spain, consisting of the Congress of Deputies (Lower House) and the Senate (Upper House). The Cortes Generales consists of 350 deputies and 266 senators, who are elected every four years during the national election. As a parliamentary system, the Cortes can dismiss the Prime Minister of Spain and his or her government. It can also dismiss the Prime Minister through a majority vote of no confidence. |

| On May 31, the government officials of the Kingdom of Spain awoke and prepared for what would be an important day in the Spanish government's history. King Felipe VI, Queen Letizia, Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia of Spain departed the Zarzuela Palace outside of Madrid, bound for the Palacio de las Cortes (Palace of the Cortes) in central Madrid. Prime Minister Torres left the Moncloa Palace at 9:30AM local time, while the deputies and senators of the Cortes Generales left their respective residences in Madrid. The Solemne Apertura de las Cortes Generales (Solemn Opening of the Parliament of Spain) began at 3:30PM local time with the arrival of Prime Minister Augustina Torres at the Palacio de las Cortes. At 4:15PM, King Felipe VI and the Royal Family of Spain arrived, where they greeted the Prime Minister and the Chief of the Defense Staff, Defense Minister Nadia Calvino. King Felipe VI addressed the Cortes Generales and the people of Spain from the hemicycle outside the Palacio de las Cortes, before entering the building for the Prime Minister's State of the Kingdom address.|

| The King of Spain opened the Cortes Generales at 5:15PM local time, and the Prime Minister began her first speech to the Cortes. |

Prime Minister Augustina J. Torres of Spain:

[list][sub]"My esteemed colleagues of the Cortes Generales. Your Majesty the King. The great people of Spain. I stand in front of you today because the people have spoken. They have spoken in favor of change. Of progress. The sadly disappointing administration of Mr. Sanchez of the PSOE during the COVID pandemic damaged the Spanish economy and the Spanish people. The GDP of the Kingdom dropped 12.8% as a result of this pandemic. It is in my administration's best intentions that these damages be reversed as quickly and as efficiently as possible. Corruption has plagued Spain for many years, costing us almost 8 billion euros annually. We must take action and reverse these damaging effects on the government in order to create progress. I believe that we can work together with our foreign partners in Europe, Asia, North and South America, and the Middle East to achieve the goal of making our country great again. We must not give up in the pursuit for a better life. We must persevere. Many people decide to call it quits and give up, when a miracle is right around the corner. Spain will not be one of those people. Spain will always persevere! Spain will always fight! Spain will strive to succeed and prosper! I promise you all, you made the right choice this year. Spain will change for the better. Spain will prosper. Spain will grow. We will go underground, over the seas, and reach for the stars in pursuit of a lasting peace for the Spanish people and humanity. We have a great country. We have a great nation. Let us make it even greater. Larga vida al rey! Viva Espana!" [/sub][/list]

| The Prime Minister summarized her plan for Spain in 2021 in three words: Change, Progress, Prosperity. |

| Prime Minister Torres' speech was received with great applause from the Cortes Generales, and the Royal Family. A nationwide poll showed that 89% of Spaniards approved of the Prime Minister's agenda, with 6% abstaining and 5% against her agenda. With her public support both all over the country and in the national government, the Prime Minister prepares to get started on her agenda, with plans to pass an infrastructure and increased privatization bill within the coming days. |

Kampala, Republic of Uganda

May, 2024 - Death, Revolution, And Sudanese Troops, Timeline Of The Last 9 Months In Uganda

September, 2023 - Museveni Dies As Protest Begin:

It was a September morning when the nation of Uganda had been awoken by strange and mixed feelings as the nation's news and media outlets have reported that President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni that had been in power over Uganda since 1986 had passed away on September 18th, 2023 at the age of 79. There were celebrations from his political opponents that did make up the majority of the country while supporters mourned. Museveni or YKM to be short was involved in the rebellion that has toppled Uganda's previous and notorious dictator Field Marshal Idi Amin in 1979 and then President Milton Obote in 1985 before he himself has taken power with the help of his political party the National Resistance Movement (NRM).

Following Musieveni's death, the NRM had sworn in his Vice President Edward Kiwanuka Ssekandi (EKS) as the official 10th President of the Ugandan Republic which was met by protest and outrage as EKS himself was older than Musieveni and was considered incompetent by the opposition in Uganda's Parliament. As a result the opposition parties under the leadership of the National Unity Platform (NUP) lead by the young and popular 41 year old Robert K Ssentamu who is also more famously known by Bobi Wine has petitioned the Ugandan Parliament for a snap election to determine a new leadership for the country. However much to nobody's surprise the NRM refuses to call for a snap elections starting EKS to be the legitimate President of Uganda. Such actions have then triggered the sudden rise in peaceful demonstrations on the streets of Entebbe and Kampala as well as a series of other Ugandan cities including in universities calling for EKS to resign. These demonstrations have become the first of many yet to come as a result of Uganda's September Revolution.

October, 2023 - President Ssekandi Declares State Of Emergency With Revolution In Full Swing:

About a month has passed since Musieveni was announced dead as Uganda witnesses all out protest in many of its major cities with violence sparking in some cases as oppositions clashed. However it was apparent that the majority of the country was against The NRM as calls for EKS to step down grew. However the President would not budge as he declared a state of emergency on the 10th of October which granted him the power to Disband the Ugandan Parliament as he then orders the imprisonment of opposition leader Bobi Wine on the charges of inseruction and treason. This as only flared up further anger in the country as protest grew however the leaders of the revolution had maintained a strict rule of keeping the protest peacful as they borrow many of the tactics and moves of the 2000-2001 December Revolution in Sudan. The protest continues as crowds gathered outside the presidential palace as well as the prisons that held the political opposition. The Ugandan conservative right wing had held power against the consent of the governed for far too long as a social revolution goes into full speed.

November, 2023 - Division In The Military:

The civil unrest in Uganda has become very apparent to the international community as the military has been ordered to try and quell the unrest. However many members of the military themselves seem to have their loyalty to the people much more stronger than to the NRM and the President. As threats of a possible military intervention by the growing aggressive Gallan Empire becomes realised amongst the Ugandan Military, a secret faction of the armed forces begins planning to preserve the Ugandan way of life from the threat of an African Empire that to them seems to want to cease their Lord and language away the same way it has taken their brothers in Kenya.

December, 2023 - Anti-Gallan Sentiment As Sudan Backs Ugandan Revolution:

The fears of an invasion grows within Uganda as the nation begins to allign itself to Khartoum. A growing movement of Anti-Gallan sentiment has gained traction within Uganda that had seemed to find itself well with the revolution as calls for an end to turmoil as the nation celebrated Christmas. An increasing number of the public pleads for assistance and support from the Commonwealth and the west as Khartoum's attention is grabed by the situation in Uganda in which Prime Minister Kiir had delivered a statement demanding Bobi Wine be freed and for the nation to reach a peaceful solution. However in secret, the Prime Minister had approved classified funding to the Ugandan Revolutionary effort.

January, 2024 - Military Coup:

Upon further planning and deliberation a faction of the military had managed to successfully subdue the nation's armed forces and bring them under their control where the military then pledges allegiance to the Revolution within early January. Later in the month the military marches on Kampala imprisoning the remaining unloyal members of the military as well as throwing President EKS into prison along with other prominent members of the NRM where they are then disbanded bringing the country under military control spearheaded by commander of land forces Lt. General Peter Elwelu who becomes the Unofficial head of state.

Tensions continue to increase as invasion becomes a vert likely possibility along with rumors of a civil war as protests continues. Despite the fall of the right wing government the Ugandan people still do not trust a military controlled state.

February, 2024 - Interim Government Announced:

The Military and civilian body of the Revolutionary Effort have announced the creation of an interim government responsible for Uganda's transition into democracy. After much public pressure the military also released Bobi Wine earlier in the month only to appoint him as head of the interim government.

However with many factors in play as well as a history of failed revolutions and rebellions a growing number of Ugandans including those amongst the interim government find the transition to democracy to be difficult as the nation's future becomes in jeopardy being surrounded by two large expanding African powers while also realising Uganda's sole survival depends on Sudan which they find to be sharing a lot in common with from history to language to culture and trade.

March, 2024 - Kiir Visits Uganda As Sudan Is Called For Help:

The growing numbers of Ugandans who believe the nation's future to be in extreme danger grows as they begin calling for direct protection from the Sudanese Government against any and all threats from The Galla. Some in the country believing that the situation in Uganda has gotten so poor that they do not mind becoming a Sudanese State. With tensions still high, Interim President Bobi Wine sends an invitation to Sudanese Prime Minister Salva Kiir for a meeting in Kampala.

In the meeting that has spanned much of the night has turned out to be a delima to Prime Minister Kiir as Presusent Wine makes a controversial request that is bound to make Khartoum spin

[list]President Bobi Wine :| "Prime Minister I have a request from you. I have been talking with the military and civilian council and we all have come to an agreement to ask you on behalf of Uganda for something I'm sure isn't simple. We request that the Sudanese government sends your armed forces into Uganda for the protection of our borders and assist in maintaining the peace."

PM Salva Kiir :| "what??? Send troops into Uganda for protection and risk war with Galla. Mr. President that isn't a request that Khartoum could fulfill. And what about the people surely they won't accept"

President Bobi Wine :| "They won't accept? Sir they chanted your name and your country while waving the Sudanese flag for Ugandan people view Sudan as a big brother. I wouldn't have asked you if my people didn't want this already."

PM Salva Kiir :| "they do? What about your military are they unable to take control? You must understand it's a different situation when the army of a foreign nation is responsible for your nation's security."

President Bobi Wine :| "Prime Minister. When Iran came to the assistance of Sudan in the form of ships and troops following your nation's diplomatic crisis with France and it's allies I am sure your people did not see Tehran as a foreign army, But as an ally, A sister of the Sudanese Republic. That is how Uganda sees Sudan now. Most of our military is either imprisoned or stretched too thin across the country, we would collapse if Galla was to invade. After all Uganda accounts for Sudan's White Nile source. I'm not saying Uganda could use this against Sudan but Galla sure could.

PM Salva Kiir :| "you are certainly right Mr. Wine, Sudan must not abandon its Anglophone brothers to the terrors of French Africa and the thing Galla calls astroculture. We sure cannot allow them to surround Sudan to the south or gain access to our other water source. I tell you what Mr. President I'll bring these concerns up with Parliament and have them approve for the depoyment of troops. Until then Sudan will provide a statement officially guaranteeing the independence of Uganda.[/list]

And so following this meeting Kiir would wave the Ugandan people goodbye before returning to Khartoum to get his nation to help.

April, 2024 - Sudanese Parliament Approves Direct Military Assistance To Uganda:

Upon returning from Uganda in late May, Prime Minister Kiir would provide and official statement marking Sudan's new brotherly relationship with Uganda as he declares the small land locked nation's independence to be guaranteed by the Sudanese Republic marking that any violation of their sovereignty will be bound to grant hostile Sudanese response.

However in a more controversial second move as April visits the nation, Prime Minister Kiir presents a proposal to the Sudanese Parliament asking for their official consent for the mobilization of between 10,000 to 30,000 armed units into the Republic of Uganda upon the request of the Ugandan People for the protection of their international borders as well to insure the peacful transition of power. Given the controversy of the move Parliament was hesitant on approving such move stating that it could spark tensions between Khartoum and Addis Ababa. However many politicians have argued for the deployment for the sake of water security stating that Sudan must not allow a hostile and an unpredictable nation like the Gallan Empire to gain control of the nation's second water source, the White Nile. The argument of Water Security has converted more MPs to the cause of deploying troops into Uganda. Some then added that protect Uganda was important to protecting the culture of the Commonwealth in Africa and in preserving the spirit of the Anglophone world that Sudan has become so proud to be a part of. And so with a vote of 154 Yes to 23 No in the National Assembly and then 60 Yes to 4 No in the Council of States the Sudanese Parliament officially approves the request or Prime Minister Kiir and Ugandan Government for the deployment of up to around 15,000 military units into the Republic of Uganda. The nations Armed Forces states Sudanese military command shall be established in Uganda by early May.

May, 2024 - Military Deployed Into Uganda:

As May arrives, the last of Sudanese Armed battalion numbered up to 15,000 military units of the Sudanese Land Armed Forces (SLAF) have entered into Uganda from the Juba highway south to recive a warm welcome from the locals. The infantry has rode into the country in 50x Persian Shah armoured carriers, 30x Freccia IFVs and about 20x Karrar tanks and 6x Bavar-373 Mobile Air Defence Missiles as they made their way down and through the country. The Military in Uganda now part of the Sudan Peacekeeping Operation In Uganda (SPOU) had been put under the command of Army Lt. General George Athor Deng has divided up the focus on the security of Uganda into three main areas.

1. The eastern border with Galla which was given a higher security threat as 8,000 units and other heavy weaponry made its way to strategic and more vulnerable parts of border and has set up defenses all along Uganda's eastern border from lake Victoria to the jungles of Equatoria as military units are established in Eastern Northern Uganda.

2. The Western border shared with Zaire which was not given an equal degree of being viewed as a threat has recived about 3,000 in military depoyment into western Uganda as the majority of the border has been made by the existence of Lake Albert and Lake Edward.

3. The third threat is the nation itself, remainder of the 4,000 forces had been sent all over the country and distributed amongst the cities and towns and villages to insure peace and the continuation of everyday life in Uganda. By the end of the month the streets of the capital Kampala have been swarmed by armed Sudanese and Ugandan soldiers patrolling its streets. The Military itself incharge of maintaining the peace in Uganda has also been ordered in providing assistance and help to the locals in any appropriate way that they ask stating that Sudanese military is at the service of the allies of democracy.

As the month draws to an end and with the Ugandan borders now under the protection of the SLAF the Sudanese government back in Khartoum has promised to act as an observer to the elections and maintain a peacful transition to power. And with the presence of what may seem as guardians of the revolution many in the nation have adopted a sense of pride and unity for both nations that has never been felt before since colonial times as the British Empire itself used Sudanese Defence Forces for the protection of Uganda and other possessions of the British Empire in East Africa. Though it is unknown for how long the SPOU would stay in Uganda given the plausibility of conflict with Galla might force the Sudanese nation to stay and guard their own interest as well as the interests of their fellow brothers in Uganda.

Madrid announces military modernization program; Armed forces active personnel to be increased to 450k and reserve personnel to 250k

| Although ranked high on military strength leaderboards, the Spanish Armed Forces had lackluster manpower, and aging equipment. With the election of a new head of government, it is to be expected that a new military agenda be placed into action. This was clearly shown today when Prime Minister Augustina Torres announced a Spanish military modernization program which focuses on modernizing the Spanish air force and the Spanish Navy. The active personnel of the armed forces will be increased to 450,000 and reserve personnel to 250,000 by mid-2025. |

| The 2024 Madrid Military Modernization Program plans to greatly modernize the Armed Forces of Spain, with emphasis on the aging F/A-18 and Harrier fleets of the Air Force, and Spanish Navy. With the military budget being increased to $18.4 billion USD annually, the Spanish military has laid out a $2.5 billion USD budget for new fighters, and a $4.8 billion USD budget for new warships, namely frigates and amphibious assault ships, totaling $7.3 billion USD spent on modernization efforts. The military command, however, is fighting for a $9.1 billion USD budget for modernization efforts, but has been repeatedly turned down by the Cortes Generales. The Air Force currently has eyes on the Korean KAI KF-21 and KF-21X fighter programs, the Paramerican F-16V Viper, and the Dassault Rafale, as well as the Dassault Mirage X. The navy, meanwhile, is considering the construction of a new Juan Carlos I amphibious assault ship, and the purchase of new frigates from an undisclosed seller. |

| The Spanish government asks for negotiations with Rutannia and Metropolitan Francais regarding the possibility of purchasing new fighters from their KF-21 and KF-21X programs and the Dassault fighter programs, respectively. |

| Meanwhile, the Spanish military's overall troop numbers have been staggering over the years, with manpower numbers now hovering around 150,000 active troops and 50,000 reserve troops. The new Torres administration believes that these low numbers will not allow Spain to fight for itself independently, without EU or NATO support. In an effort to reduce dependency on EU and NATO military protection in the case they are not able to aid Spain, Madrid announced the increase of active military personnel to 450,000 and reserve personnel to 250,000 by mid-2025. Incentives will be developed to encourage civilians to join the military, with free family healthcare and affordable housing being one of several incentives. The government also believes this move will help the climbing unemployment rates, with the military being urged to allow unemployed civilians to join the army. The troop number increase is the first of many military and economical changes that Madrid believes will help bolster the national economy - and international influence. |

Defense Ministry: $11.2 billion USD military arms acquisition deal signed with France to purchase 20 Dassault Mirage X fighters, 20 Dassault nEUROn attack drones and 11 FRMM frigates

| Defense Minister and Chief of the Defense Staff Nadia Calvino announced a $11.2 billion USD military arms acquisition deal with France, with Spain purchasing 20 Dassault Mirage X multirole stealth fighters, 20 Dassault nEUROn attack drones with the capability to work with the Mirage X's electronics system, and 11 FREMM (European Multi-purpose Frigates) frigates. The new arms acquisition for the Spanish Armed Forces supposedly closes the Madrid Military Modernization Program, going almost $2 billion USD overbudget, but some allege that the Spanish government plans to finance the construction of 2 S-80 class Spanish attack submarines for an additional $2.2 billion USD. |

| To accompany the new stealth fighter purchase, the Juan Carlos I amphibious assault ship will be brought back to the Valencia naval facility in order to make modifications to the ship to allow it to launch, land, hold, and sustain 20 Dassault Mirage X fighters. Alternatively, the ship will be able to carry 20 Eurofighter Typhoons or 20 F/A-18 Super Hornets after modifications are made. |

Somerania, Metropolitan Francais, Abessinienreich, Mor Norge

Hello everybody! I have just moved to your region after a long stagnation. I hope for a friendly relationship and a pleasant RP. Let me tell you a little about my country before I make a factbook.

My country Werfareichis a unitary parliamentary state (de jure a monarchy, but de facto a republic), in which power is, in fact, controlled by a military junta headed by General Algis Kiedis and with Chancellor-Regent Duchess of Kapėnai Paulina Rupsaite.

History

The coup happened when the last king of Werfareich died in the middle of the last century, leaving no direct heir. A committee was urgently assembled, whose task was to determine the future monarch. However, they dragged out the decision, which caused discontent among the citizens. By this time, pro-democratic and pro-communist forces in the country began to gain popularity. Clashes between revolutionary and monarchist armed formations took place with increasing frequency.

In the end, everything turned into an armed uprising of the left and attempts to storm parliament. General Mikas Gudzevicius, popular in the army with his ideas and patriotism, reacted to this. The day after the leftist revolutionaries seized part of Antanava, he himself seized power in the city, defeated the forces of the left and dissolved the parliament and committee. Later, he entered into an alliance with the nobles, and with them created the National Unity Party, which won the parliamentary elections, and he becoming the first elected Chancellor-Regent.

Economy

Werfаreich is a secularized state, in which feudal foundations, expressed in the presence of the nobility, their estates and "fortress" ones, whose life and some rights are guaranteed by the state, have been preserved to this day. The economy of the state is built around a large number of natural resources, from which oil, gas, many metals and precious stones are extracted and processed. Also, a significant contribution to the economy is made by the production of the latest weapons, information technology, Automobile Manufacturing and tourism.

Torres Administration unveils new economic plan, privatizing several state-owned companies, reducing unemployment, and planning trade deals

| One of Spanish Prime Minister Augustina Torres' campaign promises was to drastically reduce unemployment and introduce a new economic plan to raise Spain's annual GDP growth from its lowly 2% growth a year. Following the $11.2 billion USD arms acquisition deal with France, the pressure was on the Torres Administration and the Ministry of Finance to release an economic plan to deliver on the Prime Minister's campaign promises. For seven days, the Cortes Generales and the Prime Minister, supplemented by the Ministry of Finance, discussed and debated and edited a novel economic plan. |

| On June 8, 2021, Prime Minister Augustina Torres appeared before the public at a televised press conference from the Finance Ministry offices in Madrid. She unveiled the Madrid Economic Directive (MED), which aspires to privatize several state-owned companies, drastically reduce unemployment rates, and lays out a general foreign trade deal plan. |

| The first phase of the Madrid Economic Directive is the privatization and selloff of several state-owned companies. This is to be done over the course of three years in order to spur competition and bolster the private sector. The Spanish government plans to auction companies such as Administrador de Infraestructuras Ferroviarias, Renfe Operadora, Parador, EFE, EITB, Euskotren Transbia, Euskotren Trena, and Correos off to the private sector. These companies mostly oversee hotel, news, public transportation and infrastructure sectors, meaning such a selloff would encourage development in those sectors. Prime Minister Torres stated, 'this selloff, which will begin as soon as later this month, will benefit multiple industries including tourism, press, transportation and infrastructure thanks to the competition that will be created between these companies and their private counterparts. The Spanish government should not be pushing aside companies, it should be working with and competing with companies'. The Prime Minister also stated at the end of her press conference that the selloff of state-owned companies was an idea inspired by Brazilian President Bolsonaro's economic plan in which he did the same thing. 'He really is the Brazilian strongman, in my opinion' she commented to other government officials as she left the press venue. |

| The Madrid Economic Directive also hopes to tackle Spain's rapidly growing unemployment rate, which has been plaguing the economy since the Francoist era in the 1970s. With a 13.96% unemployment rate, the second highest in the European Union, it was clear that something needed to be done, especially when unemployment exploded during the 2020 pandemic, and trickled down a bit in the aftermath. Steps have already been taken to reduce unemployment, with the military's incentives to join the armed forces being introduced to the public for the first time. In an effort to increase manpower and reserves, the armed forces introduced incentives such as free healthcare, free child education, and larger wages to the armed forces. An estimated 42,000 civilians enlisted for the military within two weeks of the incentive announcement, proving the effectiveness of the program. The Ministry of Finance also unveiled a geographical subsidy program to encourage companies to invest into poorer, and generally more rural areas where work is almost unobtainable. The Ministry of Education will also receive subsidies to provide education and training to reduce and possibly solve occupational immobility. |

| In the final phase of the Madrid Economic Directive, at least in its current form, is the establishing of groundwork for trade deals to be signed with foreign nations in the future. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Trade, and the Ministry of Finance brainstormed ideas for a week before a final basic plan was released through Phase Three of the Madrid Economic Directive. The basic groundwork, named the Foreign Trade Groundwork Establishment Plan (FTGEP), states that trade deals with valuable trading partners such as France, Germany, Italy, the UK, the US, Canada, Brazil, and other countries should be established in order to increase trade between both nations. The FTGEP proposes the lowering of tariffs of goods between both parties involved in the trade deal, making it easier for Spain to export and import with the involved party. The Spanish government believes this approach will be highly beneficial to both countries, and will increase interdependency between nations, which will in turn reduce global tensions. |

| The Madrid Economic Directive was passed by the Cortes Generales on June 7, 2024, and took effect immediately after Prime Minister Torres' press conference on June 8th. |

$6.1 Billion In New Arms Acquisitions

___________________________________

Today the Ministry of Defense has unveiled another acquisition package for the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Totalling 6.1 Billion Dollars, the package includes new equipment for all three branches bought from Paramerica and the Imperial Federation.

From Paramerica, the Army has acquired 40 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS.) The HIMARS is a modern MLRS system with an effective range of 480 kilometers. The new systems will be divided into two newly founded Rocket Artillery Brigades, the 7th and 44th. The Army will also be taking command of 30 new MIM-104 Patriot Surface-to-Air Missile systems, further enhancing the Arab States' air defense capacity. The Patriot can counter everything from UAVs, to Fighters, to ballistic missiles.

For the Air Force, 50 new F-16V Block 70/72 multirole fighters have been acquired. The F-16V is the most modern upgrade of the F-16, unveiled only in 2015. The V includes the AN/APG-83 active electronically scanned array with a range of 370 kilometers. This brings the ANAF to 330 active combat aircraft.

The largest acquisitions come from the Navy. Also from Paramerica, 6 Oliver Hazard Perry-class guided-missile frigates have been acquired. The Perry is 136 meters long, with a displacement of 4,100 tons and a top speed of over 30 knots. The Perry is a ship of legendary durability. 4 of the ships will be assigned to Tartus Fleet Base and the other 2 will be assigned to Aqaba Fleet Base. Additionally, 3 FREMM multipurpose frigates have been acquired from Italy. The FREMM is larger and more heavily armed than the Perry, enough that some sources classify it as a destroyer rather than a frigate. All three FREMM frigates will be deployed to Tartus Fleet Base. The nine ships form a capable blue water core for the Navy, signaling a shift from coastal defense and escort operations to true offensive capability.

Arab National Defense Research Corporation

Recognizing the need for the continued pursuit of defense technology development, the Arab National Congress has voted on a $7 Billion dollar appropriations bill to create a new state-owned company. The Arab National Defense Research Corporation will be a new R&D wing for the Defense Ministry. With a 55% majority stake, the company will be run by the Defense Ministry, but the remaining shares will be traded on the Arab Stock Exchange. It was rumored that Emir Sabah of Kuwait took 15% of shares, with more going to the King of Jordan. Other shares were distributed to prominent Iraqi and Syrian businessmen, and some even rumored to go to Saudi Royal Family members.

Despite the controversy, the ANRDC has already announced a path of new research projects. From the existing Defense Ministry Research Division it’s inheriting the Tactical Ballistic Missile program, and a corvette development program for the navy. It is beginning development of a Medium-Range Ballistic Missile, and modernization for existing BM-21 Grad MLRS systems. Saadoun al-Dulaimi has been made Director and has announced the intention to work with regional business partners especially in the Saudi and Iranian defense industries.

BERLIN - Over the past few days, the diplomatic service of Germany in Arabia has increased activity in diplomatic intention letters in which it is said that both countries would soon meet in a State event to analyse their respective positions and establish a base for relations between the two countries. Angela Merkel declared to the German press that this meeting would involve all aspects of trade and military and including investments.

Germany's relations with Ranponian

PANAMA - The ambassador of Germany in Panama, in the district of Bellavista, did not want to answer questions about a possible huge treaty between both nations in many areas including the sales of mining equipement but also public and private investments to boost German influence and presence. However, there are also concerns that Central America has become an enormous source of lost money for the German Public Treasure now trying to regain this loss in any way it can.

The Department of Fraud and Tax Evasion reports that every month, 129 fake companies are created in a way to integrate in money laundering and tax evasion. There are not details of this treaty which could show a regained ambition of Scheffner to have strategic allies that she can count on and vice-versa.

MOSCOW - RUSSIAN FEDERATION[/B]

[LIST][B]Красная Армия всех сильней![/B][/LIST]

“Compatriots Imperial yankees, and their chained dogs, have consistently sought to contain Russia. This is evident throughout history, and in current times during the SGRI evident by the expansion of NATO membership into Russia’s natural space, and even after the dissolution of the SGRI...Let us at home, and those abroad not forget that Russia today is unmatched, and if need be will unleash it’s historic might on the West and their dogs. It should be known here, on this night, that any further attempt to restrict or contain Russia, intervene in her natural space, or meddle in her internal affairs will be met with a direct and armed response. This is Russia’s line, and it is not negotiable….

The bridges to peace with our neighbours are non-existent, as they have been destroyed without the intention of rebuilding them. The olive branch extended from the Kremlin has shriveled, and thus we must act accordingly. Russia, and her people... must prepare for total conflict. One that is not likely but eventual, and that is on the horizon. I urge all Russians to look at the young soldiers' eyes from those faded pictures of your heroes, and channel the determination and will of these memorable heroes as we face the horizon where war looms.

[list]Viktor Ivchenko, President of the Russian Federation[/list]

Consistently, foreign forces have intervened in Russia’s natural space, overall seeking to contain Russia. First in the Baltics, and then Ukraine, and now the Caucasus region. Unlike previous leaders, this administration would vehemently oppose such actions and finally put down Russia’s iron boot. War. 140,000+ troops received orders to initiate a pre-emptive strike and invasion of Iran, with the overall task of restoring and maintaining peace and state sovereignty in Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan.

In the Southern Military District, S-400’s and S-300’s would be activated; the entirety of the Caucasus region and beyond would fall under direct Russian surveillance and targeting. Moscow, recognising this imperative liberating mission, have ordered that on the detection of enemy aircraft entering areas in the detection zone, they are to immediately retaliate with SAM . Eventually, the 49th Army (70,000) would receive orders to depart Maykop/Stavropol to Georgia with the following materials:

Additionally, the 247 Mountain Air Asault Regiment (1,500) are under preparations for deployment to Tshkinavli, alongside 5,000 additional airborne troops ready for deployment to Gori. More importantly however, the 305th and 441th Spetsnaz GRU detachments would be dispatched to Tblisi tasked with agitating defenses, installations and targeting communications and other critical infrastructure.

The 7 divisions of the 54th Army would simultaneously receive order to depart from North Ossetia, Chechnya and Dagestan with the following material with support of the Aerospace Forces:

[list][spoiler=Equipment]30 BTR-80/90, 23 GAZ-Tigr, 25 Bulat , 43 T-72 Main battle tanks, 60 T-80 Main Battle Tanks, 23 T-14 Armata Main Battle Tanks, 40 T-90 Main Battle Tanks, 51 2s19 Msta-S 152mm Self propelled howitzer, 41 2s3 Akatsiya 152mm Self propelled howitzer, 38 2s1 Gvozdika 122mm Self propelled howitzer, 10 2s35 Koalitsiya Self propelled howitzer, 40 2s9 Nona-SVK Self propelled mortar, 20 Tornado-G 122mm MLRS, 14 BM21Grad 122mm MLRS, 20 BMP-2, 15 BMP-3, 27 Korent-D ATGM, 11 Nebo-SV/S Nebo-M Air surveillance radars, 4 Zoopark-1 Counter-battery radar, 8 Красуха-2 Mobile electronic warfare complex, 5 S-300s, 16 9K35 Strela-10 Short range SAMs, 10 9K331 Tor-M1 Short range SAMs, 9 9k317m бук-м3[/spoiler][/list]

The divisions of the 54th Army are under order to enter South Ossetia and Guba-Kachmaz and continuing pushing further into Georgia and Azerbaijan, with the support of the VVS. The divisions are to push into and liberate the following regions: 54ад1 to Ossetia, 54ад2 to Guba Kachmaz, 54ад3 to Absheron, 54ад4 to Shirvan, 54ад5 with 54ад6 to Shirvan with 54ад7 following suite and acting as reinforcement.

In the Caspian Sea, to be deployed were 1 Buyan-Class corvette, 2 Buyan-M-Class corvettes, 1 Gepard Class frigate. With instruction from Central Military Command, the 2 Buyan-M corvettes would launch (12) Kalibr-3M14T at the following targets: Baku Naval Base, Baku Kala Airbase, Nasonaya Airbase, Anzali Naval Port. Shortly following the launch, approx. 10 minutes, the 1 Gepard Class frigate would launch (8) Kalibr-3M14T at the following installations: Baku Army Corps Base (near Baku) and Hasanrud Port.

Additionally, tasked similarly with agitating defenses, installations and targeting communications and other critical infrastructure, detachments of Spetsnaz GRU (1000) would be dispatched to Baku. Alongside 22,000 airborne troops are set to be deployed to Sheki.

In order to ensure total air dominance the aircraft listed had been given coordinates and direct order to target enemy military positions and instiliations, and provide support to invading Ground and Airborne Forces: 9 MiG-29, 10 Sukhoi Su-25, 9 Sukhoi Su-30, 12 Sukhoi Su-35, 10 Sukhoi Su-37, 10 Su-34, 11 Sukhoi Su-57, 2 Sukhoi S-70 Okhotnik-B, 10MiG-29 Interceptor, 16 Mil Mi-24 attack helicopters, 10 Mil Mi-28 Attack helicopters, 10 5 Tupolev Tu-95 strategic bombers, 10 Tupolev Tu-160 supersonic heavy strategic bombers, 8 Tupolev Tu-22M supersonic long range strategic bombers.

With the main assault fully underway, and 140,000+ troops mobilised, 50,000 from the MVD’s Internal Troops would deployed to Russia’s North Caucasus region where they will act to bravely reinforcement and defend the motherland, play a support role in in the Caucuses and upon victory assist in the re-establishment of sovereignty of the occupied Republics. In the Black Sea Fleet out of Novorossiysk and Sevastopol, Kilo-Class submarines, and the Admiral Kuznetsov remained on standby armed ready to strike with the intention of complete destruction of enemy presence. The General Staff would also place the Western and centralMilitary District on alert. Lastly, in support of Russia’s fraternal ally Turkestan, preparations are underway for the deployment of strategic bombers to work in coordination with the Turkestani Armed Forces.

With the large swaths of the Southern Military District having been mobilised, Russian troops have kept in mind that war is a just war, and one of liberation for those in the Caucasus region who have never ceded their sovereignty. From the General Staff of the Armed Forces and President Ivchenko the intentions are clear, annexation of sovereign republics in Russia’s natural space will not be tolerated, Russia will remove the occupied presence from the territories and advise the occupying force to surrender. Total surrender would be the preferred outcome, and with overwhelming Russian force, it is likely. However, if surrender is not achieved, Russia is prepared to devote it’s entire might! If Russia must embark on the road of complete war, Russia will see fit that the occupying nation itself is utterly destroyed. If foreign nations seek to intervene, they will suffer a blisterily and agonising demise, as in this new era, Russia holds no bar on first use. Glory to the Motherland, and to her heroes!

|Southwest Turkestan-Iran Border|

|JUNE 3RD, 2024|[/pre][/list]

[list]|Anti-Air/Missile Activation - Howa garşy / raketa işjeňleşdirmesi|[/list]

[sub]As the signal of war came to the armed forces of Turkestan one of the first thing to be completed was the activation of Sams and AA weapons across the Turkestani-Iranian Border region. A system of 10 Batteries would be activated to provide a dense anti-air defense across the border region and into Iranian airspace. Which would assist in the coming Airstrikes on Iranian facilities. Each battery would consist of 1 S-300, 4 9k33 osa, 4 Patriot Launchers, 2 Sa-Goa, and 2 M20 Radars. Nine of these batteries would be hidden inside the Kopet-Dag Mountain range; the remaining would be stationed near the coastal town of Okarem. These batteries would be used to deter incursions into Turkestani land by Iranian forces.[/sub]

[list]|Airstrikes on Border checkpoints - Стрейф чек ара бекеттеринде иштейт|[/list]

[sub]In the early morning on June 3rd the Turkestani forces would halt cars from entering a 7 mile radius from the border. Every major border crossing has become a target for the TAF to strike and to soften resistance against Turkestani troops. The target was not to kill, but to destroy any buildings that could be used as a defensive position against Turkestani troops or Iranian supply infrastructure. Four strikes would be ordered on the main 3 border crossings between Turkestan and Iran in the east and the Mashhad Biogas Power Plant.[/sub]

[list]|Kalibur Missile Strikes - Kalibur raketa zarbalari|[/list]

[sub]As Russian Strikes pummeled the Caucuses, Turkestani Kalibur missiles would be launched from Club-K container launchers. 100 Kalibur containers were deployed throughout southwest Turkestan disguised in ports and in fake construction sights. This wave of strikes would be done at 3am in the early morning to strike Iranian military and civilian infrastructure.[/sub]

[sub]The 100,000 TGF already mobilized and in the region of Southwest Turkestani would be readied for the battles ahead of them as they were reorganized into 5 Corps to form the first wave for the push into Iranian territory. As the sounds of war raged in the south, the mobilization of 300,000 of the Active duty force of Turkestan would begin as the 300,000 would begin to funnel their way south to add more bodies into the fight to free the Caucuses from Iranian oppression. The rules of engagement would be opened to any resistance would be open to a lethal response by Turkestani Troops. All these Troop movements would occur 30 minutes after the before mentioned airstrikes and Kalibur missile strikes.[/sub]

[list]|Golestan Front - Golestan fronty|[/list]

[sub]The Golestan front would consist of 2 Corps the 1st and 2nd Corps. These corps would be tasked with the goal of seizing the flat lands of Golestan and later to be the main push throughout the Caspian Region of Iran. All together this would be a force of 40,000 TGF and 2,000 TSOF along with their vehicles and armor to spearhead this push. The 1st Corps would be tasked with the capture of Gorgan as their future objective and the 2nd Corps tasked with the capture of Gonbad Kavus. [/sub]

-Battle of Ashk Tappeh

[sub]In the early morning the first corps would begin their bombardment of the Ashk Tappeh area with their D-30 Artillery guns as the 20,000 would begin their push into the area. The target was the capture of the Ashk Tappeh border infrastructure along with the village of Tengli and the city of Incheboron. Due to the surprise of the attack and the time of the attack the resistance was estimated to be minimal and TGF expected to only face Iranian Police and Paramilitary units. The 1st Corps would be split into 4 Brigades of 5,000 with equal amounts of armor and vehicles. Two Brigades would be assigned to Incheboron, One Brigade assigned to Tengli, and the remaining Brigade would be assigned to Ashk Tappeh. The shelling would be inaccurate on purpose in order to disperse the affected area in order to create a more disorganized resistance. Tanks would be the head of the spear into Iranian territory with any building deemed a defensible point would be fired upon till it was deemed unusable. TGF troops would follow closely behind the armor with the task of protecting the army from ground level threats and occupy strategic buildings.[/sub]

-Battle of Dashliburn

[sub]The 2nd Corps would be tasked with the capture of the border towns of Dashliburn, Turshakli, and Duzolum. Like the 1st Corp the 2nd Corp would be split into 4 Brigades with equal armor and vehicles. Two Brigades would be assigned to Dashliburn, one Brigade assigned to Turshakli, and the last Brigade Assign to Duzolum. The difficulty of the Dashliburn push would be the Atrak River. Above the head of Turkestani Troops 2 MQ-9 Reaper drones would be tasked to hunt and kill resistance to allow and quicker assault across the river using accurate missile fire on any threat in the region. Due to the surprise of the attack the TGF estimated little to nothing resistance by Iranian forces at the start. Tanks would fire from across the river into the border towns while TGF ground troops and lighter vehicles would push across the river to enter and gain control of the border towns.[/sub]

[list]|Khorasan Front - Хорасан майданы|[/list]

[sub]The Khorasan Front would be the task of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Corps along with assistance of the 3rd Guards Spetsnaz brigade for the brutal mountain warfare about to take place in the region. 5 MQ-9 Reaper drones, 5 Heron Drones, 5 Type 3 Bayraktar Drone, and 10 Mil Mi-24 attack helicopters would be tasked to perform strikes and reconnaissance across the mountainous region to assist in the Khorasan push to disrupt supply and Iranian troop movements. These Aircraft and Drones would stick closely to SAM protected regions to bring in some safety from Iranian retaliation whether that be from Missiles or other Aircrafts. The Khorosan front was seen vital to the effort as pushing deeper into the mountainous landscape would provide a strong buffer region that Iranian troops will have a tougher time pushing Turkestani Troops out of.[/sub]

-3rd Guards Spetsnaz brigade/ Battle for Sarany Nature reserve

[sub]The 3rd Guards Spetsnaz brigade would be a vital ally in the conflict as they would be tasked with securing areas of the rural and mountainous North Khorasan region. Their push would start in the Sarany Protected area. 5 MQ-9 separate from the others would be assigned to follow and protect the 3rd Guards Spetsnaz brigade for any overwhelming force using highly accurate missile strikes. The 3rd Guards Spetsnaz brigade has no expectations for the resistance they will face in the Sarany region but are tasked to secure it and the surrounding towns/villages of Beyg, Kakoli, and Robat. For Transport they would utilize 100 GAZ Tigrs for protection and transport armed with mounted Kord machine guns, and 63 Ural Trucks for futher troop transport.[/sub]

-Battle of Lotfābād

[sub]The 3rd Corps would be assigned to capture the Lotfabad Border region which was a flat area on the border right before raising back up into the Kopet-Dag mountain Range. To capture this area the Towns of Lotfabad, Ghaffarabad, and Qorbanabad. 4 equal Brigades would be formed with 2 Brigades to strike Lotfabad and 2 too strike Qorbanabad. Once these areas were taken the Brigades would unite back into a united Corps in the town of Ghaffarabad to mop up any resistance to Turkestani forces. Due to the Lotfabad region being flat the border was more heavily demarcated with ditches and border fences. Lotfabad would already be badly injured from the airstrikes on border checkpoints, but due to other areas not being as affected, D-30 Artillery would barrage the border inorder to destroy barricades and fencing to allow a more efficient flow of troops into the region. Like the other pushes, across the border the time of early morning and surprise would cause the TGF to expect light resistance to their incursions by Iranian police and paramilitary forces that happened to be in the region. Tanks and APCs would be used to clear streets as infantry cleared houses and inspected civilians to assess the threats in the area.[/sub]

-Battle of Sarakhs

[sub]Sarakhs was a vital border town for Turkestan to capture as it lies in the flat lands before the foothills of the Kopet-Dag mountain range. The 5th Corps would be tasked with the capture of this area along with the push to the foothills later to capture the towns of Bazangan and Mazdavand. This would provide a better defensible position in the mountains later and allow for my accurate shelling of the city of Mashhad. The 5th Corps would need to successfully take the towns of Sarakhs, Qush-e Azim, Daulatabad, and Tam-e Mokhtar. Police stations on the Iranian side of the border would come under a heavy 30 minute long barrage by the D-30 Artillery pieces. Due to the larger size of Sarakhs the 5th Corps would stick together as one unit for the first push to take the city with later dispersion to take the smaller towns/villages. Tanks and APCs would be used to smash through any remaining border barricades and fences after the airstrikes as troops would begin to flow in after. 4x4 would be used to sweep the early morning streets of the city of Sarakhs as messages would play to tell civilians to stay indoors and they would be safe.[/sub]

-Battle of Bajgiran

[sub]Bajgiran was seen to be a small challenge to Turkestani troops do to its very mountainous terrain and elevation. The mountain road would be a choke point so special forces were ordered to make their way to the ridge line north of the town in order to rain fire on any resistance as the main force would funnel in from the Turkestan side. The airstrike would of hit the main choke point earlier leaving smoke clouds and debris that infantry would have to clear for some of the armor to get through. Special forces armed with Kornet launchers would set up multiple to watch over the route into Bajgiran from the rest of Iran creating a choke point for Iranian troops if they wish to move in to take back the town once they were notified. Police stations would also be fired upon by the Kornet launchers in order to destroy even more resistance to the Turkestani forces.[/sub]

The Japanese are at the forefront of innovation in these sectors, so I'm sure the increase of Japanese companies in Spanish territories would be beneficial to both our countries. In which areas would Japan be willing to invest in, which sectors of industry, I mean?"[/sub][/list]

[list][sub]"Indeed, Prime Minister Suga. Spain will be more than happy to allow Japanese investments into the automotive, technological and rail sectors in our country. This will, in turn, reduce public dependency on personal transportation, allowing for much less pollutants in the air. Now, if Japanese railway companies are open to the idea, we would like to propose a joint government, Spanish-Japanese government initiative to construct a high-speed railway line connecting Seville to Madrid to Valencia to Barcelona. A high-speed route connecting these cities will connect tens of thousands of people daily, with 20 trains going between Seville and Madrid daily as of now. This will allow Spain to reduce dependency on air travel and instead on trains, which has been a neglected industry up to now. What are your thoughts, Prime Minister?"[/sub][/list]

[list][sub]"Alright then. Do you perhaps have any suggestions for how we can collaborate together? As of right now, Spain has no large interest to develop a fully-independent space program as we are working with the European Space Agency right now. We are, however, planning to open a space agency of sorts which will oversee experimental rocket launches and state-owned satellite development. Maybe Japan could assist with research on experimental suborbital sounding rockets and satellite development?"[/sub][/list]

And an investment in a tourism program to boost tourist attraction to Muscat.

The Sultan Orders a Boost in The Military Training:

[sub]Riyadh, Kingdom of Alzarikstan

Commanding Officer: Marshal Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa Al-Saud

Minister Responsible: Prince Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa Al-Saud[/sub]

With the war brewing in the Caucasus and Central Asia, King Talal al-Saud found it the opportune moment to seek the expansion of Saudi Arabia in the Gulf as well as the Arabian Sea. As the world continues to ravel from the attack on Iran, King Talal al-Saud covertly gave Minister of Defense & Foreign Affairs Prince Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa Al-Saud the authorization to begin a military campaign in Oman for the purposes of regime change and incorporation of the Sultanate into the Kingdom. With the silent approval, Field Marshal Hamad bin Al-Khalifa Al-Saud met with the Joint Chiefs of the Royal Armed Forces for the preparations of the following:

[list][pre]2 x Army Corps -> 100,000 Army Personnel[/pre][/list]

The goal for Riyadh is not to destroy Oman but to capitalize on the battlefield kill chain to ensure Saudi victory. To further reinforce air superiority, from Doha, King Talal would authorize the deployment of the following aircraft while simultaneously activating the Red Sea Command A2/AD Network to further bolster Saudi national security:

The entirety of the Saudi Armed Forces has been placed on high alert as orders for preparations for additional deployments have been filed among the military service branches.
