SOLARCELL INDUSTRIES & AEROENERGY BOUGHT OUT BY CENTRAL HYDRO HOLDINGS

JANUARY 2024

Marking the largest step backwards against Wind and Solar in Centroamérica, Central Hydro Holdings has completed its 12 year bid of taking over its smaller and less liquid competitors Solarcell and Aeroenergy, both possessing near monopolies on the Solar and Wind Sectors respectively. Both having failed to meet Corporate standards of growth during the past 10 year basis, the Big Five (Five largest Corporations : United Fruit Company, Standard Fruit Company, Cuyamel Fruit Company, United Mineral Corporation & Solis Residential Development) voted 4 to 1 in favor of forcing the Firms to either raise liquidity by selling off its assets or accepting a merger deal with either Central Hydro Holdings or Centromerico Refining Group. Believing itself to be in better hands within the Hydro Company rather than Centromerico which refines both Petroleum and Natural Gas exports for domestic sales, the company accepted the deal which saw it purchased for a record low 312 million, compared to its valuation price of 814 million. Centromerico, Central Hydro Holdings and Bionova (Biofuel Corporation which has seized itself a sizeable amount of the energy sector) have all three been vying for a monopoly over the energy sector however have been unable to gain majority from the Big Five, leading the ongoing corporate battle between them.

Solarcell and Aeroenergy were important parts of the Cuyamel Fruit Company's diversification efforts as it is already the smallest of the three Fruit Corporations and as such is denied a position within the Big Five. Their sale is a loss for their investment portfolio and as a result their overall attempts at retaking their position as one of the Big Five. The Company maintains a positive revenue history, but suffers greatly from reductions in the price of Sugar which exists as their most produced agricultural good. Their small scale ownership of foreign sugar consuming companies (Chocolate & Candies) exists solely to lobby said companies to raise the price of their goods in order to increase their own profitability, something for which the Firm has already faced legal challenges in the EU for.

Ultimately the purchase of the two companies draws a bleak future for renewables in Centroamérica, as Hydro has a known history of degrading riverbeds, Centromerico Refining for occasional chemical leaks and Bionova for allegedly conducting unsustainable usage of lumber sources (mass harvesting of lumber without sufficient replanting). Cutting corners in the Energy Sector is seen as necessary to properly compete with the rivals, and it shows that the Big three of the Energy Sector will continue their already 30 year long battle to achieve dominance in the sector. Only sitting down each year to dictate prices, by seizing the entire market it would be possible to dictate prices without negotiation and thus massively increase profits. Ironically despite their intense rivalry, development of the Centroamérican energy sector is no better off than it would be without it, as the extra funds they are able to create are funneled into other ventures or methods of hurting their competition such as negative advertisements and massive public broadcasting programs. It is not uncommon to find two advertisements from two of the firms on the same bus, indirectly attacking one another.

All that remains in Centroamérica to be monopolized for the Energy sector is Nuclear Power, the rights to establish a Plant having been under intense negotiation since 2003. Bribery between all three of the firms and representatives of the Big Five are not uncommon, and are directly responsible to the long winded decision making regarding which Company shall receive the rights to construct Nuclear Plants in the future. As with any sector, new Technologies that do not directly belong to an existing section of a sector are put on negotiation by the Big Five to determine which Company receives the go ahead to use said technology. In the past this "blockade" on new sectors has been breached, most notably by Temo Arms which procured models of the Kar-98 Rifle in 1935 and produced said rifle for domestic usage, selling it under the pretense that it was in fact German made. This practice continued until 1939 when they were removed from the Company Register, and thus were effectively liquidated overnight by what was at the time the Big Three (The three Fruit Companies)

REACH AERONAUTICS, HOPE SPACE TECHONOLOGIES CONDUCTS FIRST TEST OF SMALL SATELLITE LAUNCH VEHICLE NAMED "REACH-1" FROM RAIH BINTANG LAUNCH SITE [/list]

[sub]Since early 2023, Reach Aeronautics and Hope Space had been working behind the scenes to develop a small satellite launch vehicle named Reach-1, that can carry 200 kilogram payloads to Low Earth Orbit. Static fire tests and payload abort tests were conducted in summer and autumn 2023, and a test flight of the first stage flew to 56 kilometers successfully in late 2023. In January 2024, the Indonesian government gave $382,500,000 ($382 million) USD to Reach and Hope Space, which put the funds toward the fast-tracking of the construction of Raih Bintang and the development and manufacturing of Reach-1. On January 25, 2024, the Reach-1 second stage was successfully tested. On January 27, 2024, the first fully built Reach-1 launch vehicle was rolled out to the launchpad. On January 29, 2024, final tests were ended and a launch date was set for January 30, the next day. Prime Administrator of Outer Earth Initiatives and ISA Administrator Marina al-Anshori arrived at Raih Bintang a few hours later, accompanied by Vice Chancellor Jokowi Widodo. At 9:32AM local time, the RFMT (Reach Full Mission Test) mission began with the ignition of the 9 Berharap engines on the bottom, all of which are 3D-printed and uses and electric pump feed cycle, similarly to the Rutherford engine of Rocketlab. The rocket blasted upwards with surprising speed, climbing through the atmosphere towards space. Marina al-Anshori commented to the Vice Chancellor, 'we'll be seeing this a lot more in the future'. 5 minutes after launch, the RFMT mission crossed the Karman Line, 100 kilometers above the surface of the Earth. 2 minutes after that, the second stage ignited and began its orbital insertion burn. At exactly 7:57 into the flight, the single Berharap engine pushing the second stage into orbit shut down due to a fuel line malfunction. Groans and murmurs erupted in Mission Control at Raih Bintang, but the Vice Chancellor stated, 'we must push on, you have been very successful so far'. With new hope, Mission Control attempted to reignite the engine but failed. The RFMT mission re-entered the atmosphere and exploded east of Kiribati. The mission was declared a partial success, citing the 100% success of the first stage and partial success of the second stage. With the launch, the Chancellery allotted $50 million USD to Reach and Hope Space to support their endeavor to become the first Indonesian company to achieve orbit. The Reach CEO, Thomas Djamaluddin, was previously a senior engineer at the Borneo Space Center before he assumed the role of Reach CEO. He thanked French and Japanese counterparts at the Space Center for their vital assistance in the development of Reach-1. Another test flight is scheduled for early March 2024. [/sub]

| THE CAMPAIGN BEGINS |[/list][/list]

The Battle for the Chancellor has begun.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Ms. Simonetta Sommaruga has been the Swiss Chancellor since 2022 and 2024 may be her last year if she does not get a second term.

A member of the Social Democratic Party (SP/PS), she has been a Member of the Swiss Federal Council since 2005. Sommaruga has

served as head of the Federal Department of Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications on 2008 in the Villiger administration

and previously was head of the Federal Department of Justice and Police in the Leuthard administration. She served as Vice Chancellor of

Switzerland for the years 2014 to 2018; in 2022 Sommaruga assumed the role of President of the Swiss Confederation.

The Social Democratic Party of Switzerland, also rendered as the Swiss Socialist Party, is a political party in Switzerland.

The SP has had two representatives on the Swiss Federal Council since 1960 and received the second highest total number

of votes in the 2019 Swiss federal election. The SP was founded on 21 October 1888 and is currently the second largest of

the four leading coalition political parties in Switzerland. It is the only party on the left with representatives on the Swiss

Federal Council, currently Alain Berset and Simonetta Sommaruga. As of September 2019, the SP is the second largest

political party in the Swiss parliament. Unlike most other Swiss parties, the SP is the largest pro-European party in Switzerland

and supports Swiss membership of the European Union.

Guy Parmelin is Simonetta's opponent, Guy Parmelin, (born 9 November 1959) is a Swiss politician serving as President of Switzerland

since 2013, having previously served as Vice Chancellor of Switzerland from 2018 to 2020. A member of the Swiss People's Party (SVP/UDC),

he has been a Member of the Swiss Federal Council since 2016, he had made a rally for his campaign this month stating; "If we keep

Simonetta in power soon terrorism will be all about! The Social Democratic Party wants to pull this nation out of neutrality and will start

the total deconstruction of Jobs in Switzerland."

The Swiss People's Party, also known as the Democratic Union of the Centre, is a national-conservative, right-wing populist political party

in Switzerland. Chaired by Marco Chiesa, the party is the largest party in the Federal Assembly, with 53 members of the National Council

and 6 of the Council of States. The SVP originated in 1971 as a merger of the Party of Farmers, Traders and Independents (BGB) and

the Democratic Party, while the BGB, in turn, had been founded in the context of the emerging local farmers' parties in the late 1910s.

The SVP initially did not enjoy any increased support beyond that of the BGB, retaining around 11% of the vote through the 1970s and

1980s. This changed however during the 1990s, when the party underwent deep structural and ideological changes under the influence of

Christoph Blocher; the SVP then became the strongest party in Switzerland by the 2000s.

The Christian Democratic People's Party of Switzerland picks Doris Leuthard as its candidate, Doris Leuthard (born 10 April 1963) is a Swiss

politician and lawyer who served as a Member of the Swiss Federal Council since 2000. A member of the Christian Democratic People's Party

(CVP/PDC), she was elected as Chancellor of the Swiss Confederation from 2010 to 2014. The Christian Democratic People's Party was a

Christian-democratic political party in Switzerland. On January 1, 2021, the party merged with the Conservative Democratic Party of

Switzerland (BDP) to form The Centre, which will operate at the federal level. The party will continue to exist at the cantonal level as individual

local and regional parties determine their status. The party was founded as the Catholic Conservative Party in 1912. The party sits in the

centre to centre-right of the political spectrum, advocating Christian democracy, the social market economy, and moderate social

conservatism. The party was strongest in Catholic rural areas, particularly Central Switzerland and Valais.

Multiple more Parties race for having a Chancellor, which one will win? Support has grown for the The Christian Democratic People's Party

and The Swiss People's Party have been getting support lately, with both the catholic church and protestant supporting the CVP, which

could be a benefitable asset for the party.

[list]| AL DIMAHSQ — Egypt has come a long way, since the coup that took out the unpopular president Morsi and installed Sisi in power. He has now introduced reforms that will hopefully make investments easier and also make more room for growth, with the burgeoning GDP of 496 billion USD as of right now. The first reform will decrease the amount of paperwork needed for exports and imports, because before the new law, 8 documents were needed to export, and 10 to import, but now it has decreased to 3 for export and 4 to import. Another law has finally criminalized facilitation payments, which is an action recognized as bribery in many other nations. The government has also introduced a jail time of 5-15 years depending on the case, if it is known that the law is not being enforced properly by certain people, in an attempt to decrease the bureaucracy and middlemen in Egyptian culture.|[/list]

| NOURI'S STRIKE |

[sub]February, 2024[/sub]

| As the situation in Turkey is worsening over the situation with the Kurds, and with the recent declaration of war against Kurds by Erdogan, Prime Minister Kobrina Nouri met with her Minister of Foreign Affairs, Military and the Empress in Teheran. Pressured by her own ministers and by the Kurds in Iran, it was time for Nouri to act upon a situation in which she saw an opportunity. As the Turkish Sultan and government attacked it's own people, the Iranian Prime Minister unofficially decided to support the Kurds in this situation. Her first move, was a strike to shock Turkey and it's establishment.

During night time, 6 Iranian IAIO Fotros Drones had been released over the border with Turkey and at high ceiling travelled towards and above the Turkish forces side controlled of the city of Cirze in which, once spotted, the Turkish forces would of been struck by 4 Ghaem Precision-Guided Munitions, directly at the Turkish military forces to minimise the surroundings being destroyed. Quickly, the Drones left flying over the Arab Federal States border and back to Iran. In the meantime, the Iranian military had increased it's presence on the border with Turkey with an additional 125,000 troops near the town of Qotur.

Furthermore, the Kurdish National Party of Iran has reached out to the rebellious Kurds in Turkey, with an offer of support and help, especially financial help. Prime Minister Nouri has also invited officially the Sultan of Turkey to Tabriz, for talks about the situation in the Turkish Kurd lands and on what her vision is to a good and non-harmful resolution to the situation in the Middle East and Kurds population in Turkey.

[sub]February, 2024[/sub]

| As the situation in Turkey is worsening over the situation with the Kurds, and with the recent declaration of war against Kurds by Erdogan, Prime Minister Kobrina Nouri met with her Minister of Foreign Affairs, Military and the Empress in Teheran. Pressured by her own ministers and by the Kurds in Iran, it was time for Nouri to act upon a situation in which she saw an opportunity. As the Turkish Sultan and government attacked it's own people, the Iranian Prime Minister unofficially decided to support the Kurds in this situation. Her first move, was a strike to shock Turkey and it's establishment.

During night time, 6 Iranian IAIO Fotros Drones had been released over the border with Turkey and at high ceiling travelled towards and above the Turkish forces side controlled of the city of Cirze in which, once spotted, the Turkish forces would of been struck by 4 Ghaem Precision-Guided Munitions, directly at the Turkish military forces to minimise the surroundings being destroyed. Quickly, the Drones left flying over the Arab Federal States border and back to Iran. In the meantime, the Iranian military had increased it's presence on the border with Turkey with an additional 125,000 troops near the town of Qotur.

Furthermore, the Kurdish National Party of Iran has reached out to the rebellious Kurds in Turkey, with an offer of support and help, especially financial help. Prime Minister Nouri has also invited officially the Sultan of Turkey to Tabriz, for talks about the situation in the Turkish Kurd lands and on what her vision is to a good and non-harmful resolution to the situation in the Middle East and Kurds population in Turkey. In Teheran major protests have been occurring in front of the Turkish Embassy against the brutality used against the Kurds population. |

LA PLATA CONDEMNS HEAVILY SUCH DESTABILIZING AND UNLAWFUL ACTS

[list]The President of La Plata, President Alberto Starris, officially issued a formal condemnation towards the regime of Tehran.

Indeed, the unprovoked, unilateral and sneaky attack, worthy of Pearl Harbor or 9/11, is totally unacceptable. Tehran plays a dangerous game as it has attacked a NATO member's military asset in its own national teritory, meaning Article 5 of NATO can be summoned. This would lead to a deadly war between Iran and NATO and no side would get out of such conflict unscathed.

The nature of the attack, being made just before summoning the Turkish Sultan is an act even more vile since it puts Turkey on the defensive and proves that the potential talks won't be made on equal terms.

La Plata offers Nafran Ebadi, its Iranian-origin Vice-President, to mediate potential peace talks and mediate negociations.

The President reiterates its intention to answer positively to any call from its allies and La Plata will fullfill its obligations if needed, even if it means going to war with its closest Middle-Eastern Partner.

THE GALLAN EMPIRE CONDEMNS IRAN FOR FLAGRANT ATTACK ON TURKISH KURDISTAN

[list][I]THE IMPERIAL DIPLOMATIC SERVICE has released a statement fully denouncing Iran for its unlawful strike on Turkish armed forces this month. The MERI herself added that the attack could provoke Western Powers into acting in a region that has been long destabilized. The Middle East, and Arab World as a whole has been at risk of conflict for months due to allies of Iran, and now Iran itself has contributed to making conflict a reality. Mekdella has expressed her hopes for a peaceful solution, but with a caveat that unlawful actions such as the drone strikes can hardly be met with peace. The Gallan Empire will be in close touch with their allies in the Sultanate.

Needless to say, the reputation of Iran & MECO has been heavily tarnished in the last few months. Sudan's unnecessary militarization and Iran's unlawful strike have led many to reconsider just how deeply The Empire should associate with Iran, and just how safe it really is against what seems to be a growing Sudanese threat...[/list]

[sub]Korean Local Elections; Spring Cause Chaos[/sub][/list]

| [sub]The Korean Local Elections, which are elections to Korea's Governorships; City Mayors; Regional Assemblies; and Municipal Councils, took place on the 7th February it is one the largest elections in the calender. The major prizes were the mayoral and governors elections; there are 28 Governors and mayors across Korea which are all elected on a two-round majoritarian system. Fourteen of the 28 assemblies were up for election, and roughly 5,000 municipal council seats across the country.[/sub] |

| [sub]The biggest battle was taking place in Seoul. Incumbent mayor Kim Tae-ho had decided against running for re-election, he had been in power since the 2017 by-election and re-elected in 2020, a number of other representatives on the Seoul Metro Assembly had also decided to stand down. The Transition Party has opted to run Park Young-sun as their candidate, the former Minister of SMEs and Startups is a long-term Assembly Member, having been a member of the Uri Party; Mansae Movement; Democratic Party and then Transition. Her opposition candidate comes in the form of Oh Se-hoon, formerly the Mayor of Seoul between 2006 and 2011.[/sub] |

| [sub]The contest in Seoul heated up further when Yi Jung-hee announced himself as the candidate for Spring, the former Prince turned anti-monarchist social democrat, was a surprise entry into the contest that turned it into a three-way race for the second round. In the end Oh Se-hoon and Yi Jung-hee squeaked through to the second round with 24.09% and 21.48% respectively, while Park Young-sun was relegated with a modest 20.59% In the second round Yi Jung-hee failed to beat Oh Se-hoon but won an impressive 40.31% to Oh Se-hoon's 59.69% in the monarchies own backyard, however he was successfully elected to the Seoul Metro Assembly.[/sub] |[list]

Mayor and Governors Results:

[*] Transition-Mirae Alliance - 시대전환-미래당

[sup]Leader: Sim Sang-Jung[/sup]

Governors/Metro Mayors: 15 (-9)

[sup]Leader: Yi Jung-hee[/sup]

Governors/Metro Mayors: 3 (+3)

| [sub]Across all the different results Transition Korea lost roughly 15% of it's voter base compared to the previous results for the Justice Party and the Democratic Party, while People Power Party gained roughly 5% on four years ago. The biggest gain in terms of raw numbers was Spring who outperformed opinion polls for the National Assembly, polling research company IPSOS study voting behavior and patterns and gave these figures if the elections had taken place for the National Assembly[/sub] |

[list]

[*] Transition-Mirae Alliance - 시대전환-미래당

33%

[*] Spring - 봄

14%

[*] Green Party Korea - 녹색당

11%

[*] People Party - 국민의당

7%

6%[/list]

| [sub]Time will tell whether Spring can continue this momentum for the next couple of years, but for now the party has built itself a solid base of voters and political representation across the country. Meanwhile Transition Korea will have to regroup and fight to stay in power if it continues to lose voters in droves to the smaller parties.[/sub] |

[I] I have RPed Iran since 1984 of the previous timeline and in this timeline since the start in 1932. I have created a completely different country than the one in real life and I take pride in that. It was an absolute pleasure to rp over the decades with you all and I found it very fun and enjoyable.

However, my time has come to peacefully leave Rping. I dont think or expect anyone to uphold my Iran as canon as its definitely a creation of it's own. It was an amazing journey and an amazing time RPing with you all. It was my pleasure to share my vision of Iran and the Middle East with you all.

I'm peaceful and happy about my departure from RP and I hope you will be too. Thank you for such great time.

Merci.

Khartoum, The Republic of Sudan

January, 2024 - Al Bashir Is Dead!

"Good night Harold" were the last words belived to be said the night before to personal cell guard Harold Daknala, a guard at Kober Penitentiary in Northern Khartoum. It's 7AM on the morning of January 14th, 2024. Prison Guard Harold Daknala has entered Bashir's prison cell to serve him his daily morning breakfast. Mr. Daknala has greeted Bashir with a good morning but realised that Bashir has not replied as he usually does. He thought to himself that he must have still been sleeping. Attempting to wake him up he nudges him a bit after putting the breakfast tray down then putting two fingers in his neck to check for a pulse. No pulse. Mr. Daknala is overcome by shock and panick before he lays Bashir flat on his back and removes his blanket and puts his ears close to Bashir's mouth to hear for breathing. And there is none. After a few moments of settling with the fact that Omar Al-Bashir, Sudan's most ruthless dictator is finally dead. Mr. Daknala covers Bashir up to the head in a blanket before running out of the cell and finding his way to the warden. Warden Farooq Zuher was in the office signing papers before Mr. Daknala bursts into the office without even knocking. The sudden intrusion angered the warden was outraged by the lack of respect from a low ranking officer.

[list]Warden Zuher :| "WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS OFFICER?!"[/list]

[list]P.G. Daknala :| "With all due respect sir, this was urgent Omar Al-Bashir is dead... sir."[/list]

Mr. Daknala broke the news while out of breath. The warden himself was in shock. He did not believe it. After summoning the Prison Doctor along with other guards among them Daknala they run back to the cell to see forthemselves. After a few more tests the doctor himself confirms that Bashir is indeed dead. The random confusion and chaos causes by the prison gurards running in and out of Bashir's cell has confirmed to the other inmates that Bashir is indeed dead. Inmates began to chant slogans like "The traitor is dead!" "It has fallen! Fallen at last!" And "Down with the Kouz!" Which echoed through the prison chambers setting a reminder to the days when Kober used to be the lockup space for many of Bashir's political rivals and oppositions and activists for the days of the December revolution.

by 8AM Warden Zuher makes communication with the Presidential Palace to break the news to Prime Minister Salva Kiir first as well as to find out whether the prison should announce his death to national t.v. and then to the world.

Back at the Presidential Palace:

[list]DM Zaim Binallah :| "Mr. Prime Minister I'm telling you that official apology you made was not good at all. Not only did you seem week Infront of the world the Sudanese people did not approve either."

PM Salva Kiir :| "I assure you Deputy Minister I am quite aware of my mistakes but what choice did I have? This parliament lost its mind with the threats from France and the public too. Sudan had to descelate or risk a lot. If only there was something to take us away from all-"[/list]

The Secretary of the Prime Minister barged in with a brief knock interrupting the Prime Minister.

[list]Secretary Talila :| "Mr. Prime Minister Kober Penitentiary just called, Omar Al-Bashir is dead sir. They want to know if they should officially announce his death."

PM Silva Kiir :| "Jesus Christ this is it! Yes yes, have them announce the death right away. Prepare for me a statement as well. Make it more about turning a new chapter in a our nation's history."[/list]

The Secretary nods as she returns to get desk to inform Kober that the Prime Minister has approved their announcement. Kiir and Binallah would look at eachother with joy. The country's most hated criminal is dead and most importantly the country shall now see this as a sign of moving on. That includes the national humiliation Sudan faced within the last 3 months.

At 9 AM Kober Penitantary had called for an urgent press meeting and within an hour at 10:15 AM, January 14th, 2024, the Maximum Security Penitantary of Kober has announced to the press and on national t.v. the death of former President Omar Al-Bashir just at the age of 80 years. Bashir has been remembered by the country as an incompetent tyrannical fool, a greedy fat man, and a brutally incapable leader. He is remembered for the crimes he has committed against Darfur, Kordofan, the Blue Nile, the South, and against all that did not pledge loyalty to him specifically. Bashir cared less for anyone that did not care for him or anyone that didn't threaten his hold on power. And that was his ultimate crime. Negligence. Hunger, floods and droughts, war crimes, international sanctions that affected his people more than it did him. Stealing the wealth of the people for his own benefits, and bringing himself first before God himself for he never feared him. His crimes of treason against the Sudanese people were trailed and brought to justice by sending him for life in isolation. "It's only up to God to decide his true faith" said the judge that sentenced Bashir to isolation in Kober.

Soon by the afternoon protesters begain gathering outside the penitanatry and also other government buildings. Some celebrated in happiness. Some angered on the basis that he has not suffer enough and others angered on the basis that his justice has not yet satisfied his victims. Either way Parliament that planned to convene to debate the creation of holistic management programs all over the country have been postponed due to Bashir's death and rescheduled for another day. Schools released students early as people watched what seemed to be hours of live coverage of the situation.

As per Islamic tradition Bashir has to still receive an Islamic burial despite his character as the earth's latest scum. Islam dictates that a dead body must be burried the quickest way possible from the moment they pass away. Bashir was cleaned at Kober Penitanatry and his body was then official released at 12pm. He was covered up in a white bag and put on a minivan that has driven his body to a funeral home situated by the neighborhood near the old airport. Onlookers gathered outside the cemetery as Bashir's body was prepared for burial. The grave was already dug upon his death's announcement. He was then put in it by the cemetary workers, and then buried while a sheikh read from the Quran and made a speech and who Bashir was as a person. A neglecting tyrant who God can only judge.

Bashir had none of his family members at his side. His wife locked up on the charges of corruption and treason while his daughter lives exiled in Europe. His funeral was silent despite thousands looking from the boundaries of the cemetery. Later that day by 4pm a number of government officials have provided statements on Bashir's death with the most important of all by Prime Minister Salva Kiir calling on the nation to "start looking forwards as what bothered us in the rear view mirror is now gone."

[sup]Chehel Sotoon Palace

Isfahan, Isfahan Province, Alzarikstan

Time: 3:45 PM[/sup]

The Strike that Broke the Feminist Lock in Iran

The sense of uneasiness and sheer shock wiped across the living room of the Chehel Sotoon Palace as Prince Reza Pahlavi sipped on his tea reviewing budgetary statements of the Pahlavi family. Looking up from his documents with grave confusion to the words he just heard about Prime Minister Nouri authorizing a strike onto Turkish personnel, who are members of NATO, within Turkish territory. Sitting up with a more straight posture, Reza Pahlavi would remove his glasses and rub the corners of his eyes as his fingers tapped his desk with feverish anger and sheer disappointment in the recent gaffs of the Nouri Administration. Standing up from his seat, Prince Reza would walk into the golden foyer and toward his personal office, where he would pick up the phone and dial a conference call with close Azeri friend and official Jeyhun Bayramov, who he knew he would be able to give his grievances too. With a few rings, Jeyhun Bayramov would pick up the phone with a hint of confusion in his voice:

Jeyhun Bayramov:

[list][sup]"Prince Reza...what the he....what the hell is going on here? Are we at war?!?!"[/sup][/list]

Prince Reza Pahlavi:

[list][sup]"These are the questions that a lot of people across the Middle East and the world is most likely asking themselves right now, including myself. Quite frankly, I have no idea what is going on. Communication to the Prime Minister's Office has been cut most likely as no calls are going through apparently to Nouri. I am telling you that I have a bad feeling about this."[/sup][/list]

Jeyhun Bayramov:

[list][sup]"Well has the Pahlavi Family said anything as of lately...do they intend to?"[/sup][/list]

Prince Reza Pahlavi:

[list][sup]"Your guest is as good as mine at the current moment. Quite honestly, I do not really expect anything to be said. The current Empress is rather weak in this particular situation and Nouri is not listening to anyone but her own sub-consciously, which is clearly as dangerous as we once thought. Otherwise, I surely doubt that the Pahlavi Family and the Iranian people would have allowed such an individual to occupy the highest elected office in this Empire."[/sup][/list]

Jeyhun Bayramov:

[list][sup]"Well with all due respect, I personally believe the problem is the continual dominance of this feminist ideology that Nouri receives the basis of her support and notoriety; an ideology that seemingly is losing precedence. There is an underlying Persian nationalism that is present that is not really tapped into yet but is showing hints of growing frustrations...like a geyser and hot springs. Something has to be done about this woman, otherwise, we would see the implosion of this ancient empire. CLEARLY if the Empress is not going to do anything about it and if the Majlis is frozen because they do not know what to do about Nouri, then that only leaves you to actually do something about it."[/sup][/list]

Prince Reza Pahlavi:

[list][sup]"The best thing to do in this case is to allow for the people of Iran to determine the fate of Nouri and my position if this is the case Jeyhun Bayramov. As the Family has certain avenues of approach we can take regarding Nouri and the people, I firmly believe that we can slowly tap into this nationalistic fervor that you speak of; not to ensure the independence of any provinces of Iran but a unifying Persian identity that is relatable to even the slightest of majorities of this empire...Feminism has done great strides for this country since the 1950s...but there comes a time when enough is surely enough."[/sup][/list]

As Prince Reza would hang up the phone, he would return to the living room and watch the news give live coverage of downtown Tehran of protests against the recent airstrikes in Turkey and a crowd gathering demonstrating their disapproval of Prime Minister Nouri. With the disgruntled opinions of the average Iranian, Prince Reza Pahlavi saw an opportunity here to perhaps change the current course of Iran but for the better.

[list][list] 44th CANADIAN FEDERAL ELECTION

—[/list][/list]

OTTAWA, ONTARIO

[sub]ELECTION RESULTS[/sub]

Politics talked. Opinions expressed. Ballots cast.

| ELECTION DAY in Canada would come once again as Canadians all over the country head to their local voting booths. A year of campaigning from all parties involved would finally come to an end as the last ballot is counted. The results are as follows:

[sub]CONSERVATIVE PARTY OF CANADA - Andrew Scheer: 132 Seats[/sub]

[sub]LIBERAL PARTY OF CANADA - Suzanne Cowan: 112 Seats[/sub]

[sub]NEW DEMOCRATIC PARTY - Jagmeet Singh: 23 Seats[/sub]

[sub]GREEN PARTY OF CANADA - Annamie Paul: 3 Seats[/sub]

The Conservative Party of Canada wins the most seats, making Andrew Scheer PRIME MINISTER once again. |

CALGARY, ALBERTA

[sub]VICTORY SPEECH[/sub]

| Prime Minister Andrew Scheer would stand at the edge of the stage of the Calgary TELUS Convention Centre. The stage would be decorated with a blue backdrop and a Canadian flag. His supporters would cheer as he makes his way up to the podium for his victory speech. |

[list]| [sub]Hon. ANDREW SCHEER, Prime Minister of Canada[/sub] | “O Canada, from coast to coast, I thank you. Tonight, the silent majority spoke out against radicalism, and against misinformation. Tonight, the silent majority stood up for gender equality, freedom, and justice. I hear you! You are sending our Conservative team back to work in Ottawa with your clear message. We will make life more affordable. We will continue to fight for gender equality at home and beyond our borders. We will get criminals off our streets and we will keep investing in Canadians because all of us Canadians are the silent majority.

To all who didn't for me, you came out to the voting booths, contributing to the democratic process we hold so sacred to us. You still have a voice. I hear you! To all who voted for us to trailblaze the direction of this great country for years to come like the brave pioneers before us, I assure you that you chose the right direction. I hear you! To the First Peoples, you were here long before any of us. As the silent minority, you have been neglected far too long as we blazed our trails through your lands. I hear you!

We will show our true patriot love to all of those suffering in our communities. We will continue to support our allies in their struggles around the world for peace and democracy.

The True North strong and free has always been a beacon of hope for those with none. We accepted those who rejected their own governments from Asia to Africa. We will continue to accept them and their cultures into this glorious and free land.

All of us want to live on a clean planet, in a safe community, and on a diverse land where Canadian business thrives. For the next four years, we will continue to build upon our great progress made towards this goal. O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. We ensure that we will leave this country better than we found it, for the good of all of our children, and as an example to the rest of the world. Thank you so much, everyone. Thank you, Calgary!”[/list]

| As Scheer finishes his last lines, other Conservative leaders would make their ways on stage. Red, white, and blue confetti would launch as "O Canada" plays in the background. |

[list]★ FOREIGN MINISTER WANG YI CRITICIZES EVENTS IN TURKISH KURDISTAN ★

[sub]February 2024[/sub]

[list][sub]Speaking following the upheaval of Kurds across southeastern Turkey, Edrogan's self declaration of war against "Kurdish terrorists", and preemptive strikes perpetuated by Iran, Foreign Minister Wang Yi read a statement on the current events.

[/sub]

[list][sub]FOREIGN MINISTER WANG YI, People's Republic of China — “We are deeply concerned about the current set of events evolving in southeastern Turkey. While on typical diplomatic occasion, what occurs within one country's sovereign borders is strictly domestic and does not concern other countries, the excessive and aggressive actions perpetrated by the Turkish military against Kurds residing within Turkey has escalated the tense situation to a point which risks not just a domestic conflict between Kurds and the Turkish military, but Turkey and Iran, and thus their respective collective defensive alliances, NATO and MECO. These actions should not be tolerated, and must cease and be replaced with diplomatic and civil efforts to promote peace. China does not support any such decision to invoke NATO's security clause, as such an aggressive action would result in a regional conflict and would represent a complete disregard for the process of peace. We also warn against any NATO actions supporting Turkey's illicit conduct, which would have similarly destabilizing effects that would hinder the possibility of peace.”

[/sub]

[sub]“China is also very concerned the preemptive strike on Turkish military personnel evidently authorized by Prime Minister Nouri of Iran has only inflamed tensions and escalated the conflict. The outright military escalation by Iran, with no regards for a path towards diplomatic solutions, should not be tolerated. We do not support any such decision of Iran to request support from her MECO allies, and view such as an aggressive misuse of a productive alliance intended for self defense and cooperation, that would only result in a regional conflict.”

[/sub]

[sub]“China rejects any escalation, and will work steadfast to prevent such. We offer a neutral mediation between Turkey, Iran, and Kurds within Turkey and Iran, to immediately follow a quick path towards peace and proper diplomatic conduct. Proper diplomatic conduct must be followed, and all parties must immediately work towards peace in all regards.”

[ Accompanying music:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOUwvjnE-f8]

| ISTANBUL - | Turkish Protesters gather around the Iranian embassy, with people shouting; "İran'ın Saldırganlığı Görmezden gelinmeyecek!" or in English translation, Iran's Aggression Will Not Be Ignored! The The Kurdistan Free Life Party has withdrawn from the war stating, "We do not want Iranians helping us, they are also our enemy." Multiple KFL Party rebels and officials have been captured and were put under arrest before the KFL statement. The The Peoples' United Revolutionary Movement has also withdrawn from the war after losing half the city of Van, which was under their control with the Kurdistan Workers Party's Help.

The Sultan made a statement today regarding on Iran's Strike of aggression;

"The Iranians have attacked our troops with UAVs, thus an act of War, if Nouri wishes to fight, I will certainly not back back down. The Newly formed sultanate will protect every Turkish, Kurdish, Arab, Zaza, and every other citizen in Turkey, Im not against the Kurdish, what Turkey is combating right now are Communist Kurdish rebels that want to Destroy the sultanate."

The Turkish Air force and Military have been put on high alert, The 4th and 7th Corps has been placed on the Iran Border, half of the 8th Corps has been also placed on the border. The Entire 2nd Army is deployed to Yüksekova to secure the city and station more Troops there. The Combatant Air Force and Air Missile Defense Command has permission to shoot down any suspected Iranian UAV from confirmation from the Air Logistical Command. Erdogan claims that Turkey will only invoke Article 5 of NATO if Iran attacks Turkey a second time. Other Divisions and Armies are mobilized for deployment...if the inevitable happens. Diplomatic Calls from the Sultan to Nouri have been reached, but Negotiations failed.|

ISA: NEW SPACE PROGRAM DEVELOPMENTS PLACE ORBITAL LAUNCH ON THE HORIZON [/list]

[sub]BORNEO SPACE CENTER | The Borneo Space Center, a brand new, top of the line orbital spaceport built right on the equator in South Borneo, had began construction in 2022 with the formation of the Indonesian Space Administration (ISA). Planned to have a Vehicle Assembly Complex (VAC) consisting of one Vertical Assembly Building (VAB) and another R8 Assembly Plant (R8-AP).The Space Center was also slated to have five different launch complexes, as well as ISA administration buildings. In early 2024, the Indo-Pacific Space Commission (IPSC) began construction of their IPSC administration offices at the Space Center with Indonesian financial support. The Space Center entered limited operations in mid-2023 in time for the Fajar sounding rocket missions, which served as the precursor to the Indonesian orbital launch program. With the securing of R7 Soyuz launch vehicle blueprints, accompanied with the Soyuz crewed spacecraft blueprints, Indonesian scientists began working with French and Japanese engineers to develop an orbital rocket. By summer 2023, a brand new R8 design, extremely similar to the R7 Soyuz, was moved from the drawing boards to the production line. In September 2023, the Borneo Space Center entered full operations with the completion of the Vehicle Assembly Complex, the ISA administrative complex, and Launch Complexes A and B. Launch Complex A and B, built similarly to R7 Soyuz launch platforms, are fully modular, meaning the signature gantries to service the Soyuz can be removed if another rocket need be launched from that launchpad. High Chancellor Anetta Komarudin attended the opening ceremony of the Space Center in December 2023. The Sergei Korolev Administration Building, headquarters office of the ISA, was named after Sergei Korolev, famed Soviet rocket scientist who helped was the mastermind behind the first satellite, the first living creatures, and the first man in space. Korolev never received credit for his work as his identity was kept secret in fear of American assassination. The Administration Building was opened on January 14, the date on which Korolev died while in surgery in 1966. [/sub]

[sub]R8-SOYUZ ROCKET | In summer 2023, a modernized spinoff from the R7 Soyuz design invented by Sergei Korolev, the R8 Soyuz, completed its design phase and was moved to manufacturing for testing and an orbital launch test in early 2024. The first R8 side booster was completed in October 2024, and a successful static fire test occurred in November. The Chancellery gave the go ahead for production in November, with a first launch targeted for February 2024. The rapid launch schedule was supported by modernized production lines, and French and Japanese support. The RD-108 main engine used on the R8 was slightly modified, creating the RD-108X, which could be 3D printed. This revolutionary breakthrough would enable R8 rockets to be built within two months, with French and Japanese engineering support. The 3D-printed RD-108X was test fired five times in December, all of which were successful. The High Chancellor credited Russian support and French and Japanese assistance for the rapidity of the R8's development at the opening ceremony of the Borneo Space Center. The R8-Soyuz is based on Sergei Korolev's revolutionary design that pushed the bounderies of spaceflight and science and opened the doors to the heavens. The first fully built R8 was rolled out in late January 2024, and is slated for an orbital test launch in mid-February. [/sub]

[sub]ASTRONAUT CLASSES |In early January 2024, 6 Indonesian astronaut trainees departed for Star City in Russia to begin cosmonaut training to receive certification to fly in the Soyuz capsule, of which the Indonesian Persatuan capsule is heavily based on. The ISA's Crewed Spaceflight Department announced its interest in signing a deal with the Russians once more to bring in Russian trainers and cosmonauts to train new classes of Indonesian astronauts. A deal has not been approved, but the Indonesian government is considering such a proposal as it will also increase diplomatic relations with the Russian Federation. 25 new astronauts have been selected, 15 of whom are women. The identities of the astronauts have yet to be revealed, but the ISA plans to do so within two months. The Indonesian Ministry of Education has partnered with the ISA to nurture children's interest in spaceflight, science, and physics. History, Science, and Geography lessons have received changes in its curriculum, with spaceflight being integrated into all three subjects from Grades 4 to 6. The Indonesian government is also considering a Child in Space program in collaboration with JAXA, but the hurdle of safety continues to block any attempts. [/sub]

[sub]INSPIRE SATELLITES FROM IPSC | The ISA and the IPSC have begun developing the INSPIRE satellites, which will jumpstart an Indo-Pacific GPS, communications, and broadband internet network. The leading design proposal for an INSPIRE satellite is the INSPIRE-X design, developed by Hope Space Technologies and Telkom Indonesia. The design is a 2 meter by 2 meter cube-shaped satellite, equipped with all capabilities required by the INSPIRE program. The larger size of the INSPIRE-X is compensated by its 5G capabilities, high-speed fiber communications, and precise geographical positioning. The INSPIRE-X has an estimated lifespan of 25 years, with its technology estimated to remain sufficient for up to 20 years. The INSPIRE-X currently leads among the design proposals because of its balance between price, efficiency, range, and lifespan. The INSPIRE-X is estimated to cost only $25 million USD per unit, compared to the upwards of $80 million of the Paramerican GPS. [/sub]

CHANCELLERY: NEW BUDGET ALLOCATIONS FOR THE DIFFERENT MINISTRIES RELEASED FOR YEAR 2024, A.D. [/list]

[sub]After a whole month of deliberations, consultations, approvals and denials, and the counting of available funds, the Chancellery Office of Indonesia released the final budget allocations for the different government ministries for Year 2024, A.D. The massive changes and expenditure of the Armed Forces last year proved to be a move that would hit back against the military apparatus, after the Chancellery announced a medium-sized cut in military allocations for the year. [/sub]

[sub]The new allocations for 2024 reflect the growth of the Indonesian economy, as well as Indonesia's rapidly growing interest in space operations. The Armed Forces received a $2.2 billion USD deduction from its yearly budget, with the Chancellery shutting down the Defense Ministry's interest in purchasing the V-22 Osprey from the US. The KAI KF-21 purchase will continue in full, but the Chancellery has made clear that the Defense Ministry's large spending last year will not be repeated. An estimated 85,000 active military personnel will also be moved into reserves to conserve sustainment funds. Indonesian naval vessels will also be scaling down anti-terror operations as the IPDC prepares to conduct anti-terror operations alongside the Indonesian navy. Social media has also been flooded with rumors that the High Chancellor told Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto to 'save more money this year'. The Peacekeeper Corps also received a substantial deduction in funding, but High Commandant Subianto has stated that the funds will be sufficient as Peacekeeping operations have been scaled down, and 2,500 Peacekeepers have been moved into reserve corps. The Indonesian space program received the only increase in funding, with a $4.8 billion USD increase. The Indonesian government's interest in spaceflight continues to grow even in 2024 and possibly 2025. The new Ministry of Humanitarian Services received no change in funding for 2024. [/sub]

I have every intention to meet with the Majlis within the coming days to revoke Prime Minister Nouri of her constitutional war powers and convene for a separate session in regards to providing political punishments onto Nouri.

[sub]In the early days of February 2024, Indonesians were buzzing with excitement as the R8 Soyuz orbital launch vehicle prepared for its first orbital flight test. With the pandemic long gone, people began scheduling vacations to South Borneo to watch the historic launch. By February 11, the Ministry of Humanitarian Services had established several temporary civilian camps around the Space Center in South Borneo, with the other civilians staying at Pontianak, only 440 kilometers west of the Borneo Space Center. Four days before the launch date on February 12, an estimated 24,000 Indonesian civilians had arrived at Pontianak in advance to witness the launch. Cryogenic proof tests, and a 5-second static fire test went flawlessly on February 13, and on Valentine's Day, the High Chancellor, Vice Chancellor, ISA Administrator, Defense Minister, Supreme General, and Humanitarian Services Minister arrived at the Borneo Space Center and took lodging at the Sergei Korolev Administration Building. On February 15, civilians began arriving by the busload from the new Highway West, connecting the Space Center to Pontianak. By this time, bleachers and viewing zones were set up 3 kilometers out from the launchpad to accomodate viewers of the launch. [/sub]

[sub]As February 16, 2024 dawned on Indonesia, white vapor billowed out of the R8 as it stood majestically on Launch Complex A. Onboard was the INSPIRE-X independent communications satellite test, which was an INSPIRE program test article for the Indo-Pacific Space Commission. Numerous HD 4K television cameras were pointed at the launch vehicle, where the R8 slowly fuelled itself up for the launch. The government officials at the Space Center spoke next to the rocket to the world via livestream, commemorating Korolev and remembering two Indonesian engineers who had perished after falling off the gantry the day before. 'They may have not lived to see their success, their dreams accomplished, but they and their spirits will forever live on in us as we dare to dream and accomplish mighty things', said the High Chancellor. The government officials departed the launch site and arrived at Mission Control to view the launch in its entirety. At 9:32AM, the crowds went silent as the final countdown began. All systems were go, said the controllers. All engines are go, said the Flight Dynamics Officer (FIDO). Go for launch, said the Flight Director. 10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...[/sub]

[sub]Massive clouds of smoke billowed out and around the launchpad, shielding the rocket from view as the gantries retracted and gave the rocket clearance to head up into the heavens. After a few seconds, loud cheers erupted from the crowds nearby the Mission Control building; the rocket was off. 'Oh my actual godly goodness, it flew' exclaimed High Chancellor Anetta Komarudin. The commander-in-chief stood at awe as the R8 flew upwards, towards the heavens and the cosmos. Crowds cheered and cameras panned upwards as the rocket disappeared above the cloud layer, leaving a massive tower of smoke in its wake. In the engineering halls, French, Japanese and Indonesian engineers celebrated, but they were far from over. The rocket cruised through the atmosphere flawlessly, and the beautiful Korolev Cross was seen from cameras as the four side boosters separated gracefully. The engineers now stood silent, praying for the best. First stage separation and second stage ignition was reported successful, and the rocket was on its way to orbit. After five minutes, the entire nation stood silent, waiting for the call that the rocket had reached orbit. A few seconds passed from the mark, and none came. 45 seconds later, nothing. As the announcer prepared to open his microphone and announce that no confirmation had been received of the rocket reaching orbit, a subtle bleep began sounding. [/sub]

[sub]"What is it, what is it?" said the High Chancellor as she walked towards the FIDO. "Ma'am, its...we....the rocket...." stammered the Flight Dynamics Officer (FIDO) as he stared at the screen, apparently dumbstruck. "Oh for goodness sake" muttered the High Chancellor as she bent down and stared at the screen. Her eyes grew wide, and a tear of joy fell out of her eye. On the screen, a blinking sign red in bold green, 'ORBIT ACHIEVED'. Cheers erupted in Mission Control, in the engineering halls, and in the crowds outside. The INSPIRE-X test satellite had achieved a Low Earth Orbit, with telemetry confirming just that. Almost two years of work had paid off, said one of the junior engineers. Onboard the rocket, a photo of Sergei Korolev framed with platinum was separated, leaving it to float in orbit forever, to commemorate the rocket scientist. The French and Japanese scientists were given the week off with full pay, and Indonesia released the news not short after. 'After almost two years of hard work and dedication, Indonesia, thanks to her partners Japan, France, and Russia, has succeeded in launching a satellite into orbit', said Grace Natalie, CNN Indonesia CEO and news anchor. The French, Japanese, and Russian anthems were played on national television, followed by the Indonesian anthem. Thank you messages were dispatched to the Macron, Suga, and Ivchenko administrations immediately. [/sub]

So I have decided to make some structural and story changes to Korea; these largely focus on leaders; and particular events. The changes to leaders is as follows;

[list]- Yi Seok is King of Korea until 1996

- King Ahnjong is King from 1996 onwards, all other King's previously RP'd are still active royal members, Yi Ki-jung is now Crown Prince and his marriage to Princess Kako is still cannon as well as their son.

- Park Geun-hye is Prime Minister until 2008 rather than 2005

- Lin Min-jung starts her second stint in 2008 rather than 2012

- Kung Kyung-wha's term lasts until 2022, removing Moon Jae-in's second stint[/list]

Pertaining to events within Korea, several sections have changed;[list]

- The monarchy was restored in 1987 following the June Struggle in an attempt as stablisation by a collapsing regime and a forging democracy

- In 1993 Korea became a Confederacy rather than fully intergrating

- In 1998 Korea fully intergrated into the Kingdom of Korea

- 2003/4 Communist Gorilla warfare breaks out in the north, being defeated in the early autumn of 2004

- 2005 Park Geun-hye is not removed from power and doesn't attempt to seize it either

- 2016-19 Park returns to power, through the use of strongmanship she slowly strips the monarchy of power rendering Korea a military Junta in all but name

- 2018/19/20 The Princely Rebellion led by Crown Prince Yi Ki-jung still takes place however his father being publicly alive means he retakes the throne

- 2022 Two General Elections take place, the latter leaving the Justice Party as the largest party, it continues on in a minority status[/list]

All other events and canons remain, if anyone would like to seek clarification please feel free to TG me or message me on Discord.

[list][sub]"Well the number one measure I have recently taken was meet with the Iranian General Staff of the Armed Forces prior to coming to this palace. After much consultation between myself and the General Staff, I have directed Chief of Staff Major General Mohammad Hossein Bagheri to reject any future orders given by Prime Minister Nouri to further initiate military targeting and operations against Turkey and NATO as a whole. I have every intention to meet with the Majlis within the coming days to revoke Prime Minister Nouri of her constitutional war powers and convene for a separate session in regards to providing political punishments onto Nouri. It is evident that she cannot be trusted with the power of the Prime Ministerial position; therefore, it should be granted to someone else more promising, stable, and capable of governance."[/sub][/list]

[sub]| President Macron | "I was hoping you'd say something to that extent your majesty. I am very glad to hear this. It is indeed a step in the right direction and I believe Iran needs somebody new to look to for leadership other than yourself. Women have dominated the executive branch of Iran for many years now and it is a shame that it had to end with another women tarnishing the female leadership image here in Iran. I hope Iranians will make the right choice when the time comes. For now we should focus on repairing the damaged relations between not only Turkey and Iran but also the rest of the West whom values their partnerships with both Iran and their NATO ally Turkey."[/sub]

| DAMASCUS, UNITED KINGDOM OF LEVANT |

[sub]FEBRUARY, 2024[/sub]

| On 24th of February, a new dawn approached the United Kingdom of Levant, as the Kingdom was formed by Queen Assala Nasri. In the month prior, a coup took place organised by the Syrian military against the ruling regime of Syria, with the al-Assads regime falling into crumbles. All the members of the family and administration were arrested by the MID, the Military Intelligence Directorate. The humiliations of previous years such as staggering economy, exclusion from MECO and the invasion and break up of the Levant has led to resentment amidst the military, resentment which Assala Nasri used perfectly. Daughter of a prominent Syrian General, and a spy for the MID in the Middle East, Assala Nasir knew exactly how to orchestrate a coup and had contacts all over the Middle East, contacts which later would become very important in the saga.

As the regime fallen, the military was quick to place Assala Nasri as the new figurehead, strong in-belief that they could steer her in certain directions. However, in mid January, Nasri and her father, General Abdullah Nasri alongside loyal members of the MID and the Military orchestrated a coup within the Military itself, removing all and any potential threats or opposition. General Nasri took over the military commandership, and Assala took over as the leader of Syria until late January where she began the implementation of the second phase of her plan, integration of Lebanon. With Hezbollah practically dead due to very low funding, and the Lebanese government in a crisis, Assala used her contacts in Lebanon to incorporate operation "UNIFICATION", which resulted in major members of the Lebanese government being assassinated and the country falling into crisis.

In early February, the Syrian military in cooperation with the Lebanese forces began to bring peace back as Assala met with major opposition leaders within Lebanon to offer her solution. During which time, Syrian military began to take over major strategic points in Lebanon with the corrupted Lebanese military leaders following up. By 12th of February, Assala offered an ultimatum in which if Lebanon unifies with Syria, it's integrity will be kept in tact and more importantly the opposition leaderships will get positions within her government. On 14th of February, the two countries officially united. Soon after, on 17th of February, Assala Nasri led a purge through the Lebanese military and political forces to remove all and any potential dangerous opposition that may arise. On 19th of February, Assala Nasri announced the establishment of the United Parliament in Damascus which would host political parties. On 20th of February, Assala Nasri announced that she will be crowned Queen, due to her family connections to the former Royal Family of Syria. On 22nd of February, Assala Nasri was crowned Queen, and the United Kingdom of Levant was officially formed.

On 23rd of February, Queen Assala Nasri spoke to the people of the country, with her speech televised and publicised.

[list][ Queen Assala Nasri ]: "My countrymen and women, we are stepping on a new path of integrity, prosperity and growth. It is time to become one, it is time to become united and it is time to take our future in our own hands! For too long we have been ruled by the incompetent, for too long we have seen others rise and us fall, be diminished! We are not going to let this happen anymore, we are not going to remain silent on progress and prosperity that we so much deserve and need! We are proud, we are united and we stand for what we believe and we believe in progress!

If, you offer me your loyalty, I will offer you liberty. If, I offer you liberty, you will gain prosperity. Once, you gain prosperity, we will be a force to be reckoned with. A force of nature that no one will ignore anymore, a force of economic, technological and military might that everyone else will listen to. Our voice will be heard, our prosperity will be known and our integrity will be protected. We are a nation that like the phoenix from the ashes is coming alive again. I ask you to give me your trust, and I promise you that you, your children and your grandchildren will live in a country where prosperity and liberty come first, where loyalty pays off and where we can build a new era. A golden era, for a golden country! May we Progress!"[/list] |

GRETA SCHEFFNER ORDERS A TRAVEL RESTRICTION AND CRUISE LINER BAN FOR GERMAN REGISTER SHIPS TOWARDS INDONESIA

JAKARTA - The meeting of the IPDEC did not go well. From the start, the German Government and the Indonesian Government had made steady progress for a joint operation of security against terrorism that would reinforce cooperation between both countries.

Yet, the organisation of military cooperation in asia did not accept such proposal. While Scheffner did not make any comments about this result, the effect was more restrictions on travel to Indonesia and especially, a decree banning german register cruise liners to go into a specific area marked in red on a map made by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

There are however new talks of a military trade deal to support Indonesian efforts in combatting ISF including a possible lease of tanks and other military products. The German Ambassador to Indonesia, Michael Blonn, said that he was was confident about German-Asian relations and that the respect German has for its partners will bring trust in further cooperation in areas of security and justice.

[sub]Volume 1, Issue 1 /खंड 1, अंक 1 [/sub]

[sup]MARCOS PULLS Off SUCESSFUL RESCUE IN MUMBAI, ALL 20 TERRORIST KILLED!!?[/sup]

[sup]In breaking news coming in from the major Indian economic center Mumbai, where 20 suspects for the last 4 days had held over 120 plus employees and stockholders hostage at the Bombay Stock Exchange. Where 4 days prior the heavily armed suspects according to witnesses were wearing military attire and masks, and armed with various small arms from Uzi and Tec 9 submachine guns, and various others such as several modified AKM-47 rifles and Galil sporter rifles, including various other small arms that included handguns, all of which have been confinscated by police after the 4 day long siege. Police later confiscating crates inside, carrying various explosive materials, one of which carrying RGD-5 fragmentation grenades.[/sup]

[sup]In what many recalled as "absolute terror," as several major explosions which police later discovered was caused as a result of several modified pressure cookers being set outside of a security checkpoint Sunday morning at 9:00 AM. The explosions instantly killing 4 security personnel, and injuring 3 others before being shot and killed by the suspects who entered shortly after. Additionally several other explosions had rocked other parts of the Stock Exchange, all of which being modified pressure cookers, at the main entryway and in the loading bay areas, resulting in the further deaths of 68 people and injuring over a hundred. 911 reports coming in every few seconds with gun fire and explosions being heard from miles away from the Stock Exchange, with witnesses reporting several of the gunmen armed with rifles firing "burst" shots into the crowd inside the lobby, later following automatic fire on anyone seen attempting to make an escape.[/sup]

[sup]Within 20 minutes of the attacks, law enforcement had managed to coordained off all major roads and intersections going to and from the Stock Exchange within a 3 block radius. With thousands of people seen running for safety. Several news helicopters within an hour were seen flying over the stock exchange with several fires being seen from above. Presumably from the explosions setoff by the modified explosive devices made earlier, but witnesses have reported the use of other explosives within the Stock Exchange, possibly from the foreign made grenades which were later confinscated by Mumbai police.[/sup]

[sup]According to police reports, 8 of the suspects were present at the front of the Stock Exchange with the other 12 separated in teams of 6. One team of 6 suspects attacking the security checkpoint, and the other attacking the loading bay in an all out planned attack. Because of the level of confusion as a result of the explosions and various gunfire, it is reported that 2 of the security officers who were inside the Stock Exchange accidentally shot several innocent bystanders, being mistaken as several of the suspects, all before being shot and killed by the team responsible for securing the loading bay. All 3 teams reconsolidating before establishing barriers among all the major entryways.[/sup]

[sup]Later on in the negotiations with local and federal law enforcement, it is later learned that the group of suspects who had been involved in the deaths of what was later confirmed to be over 128 innocent bystanders, 14 of which being security guards had belonged to a fringe group loosely associated with Al Qaeda, which had been present in the disputed Kashmir providence. The attack according to police had been in the works since April of last year. The Islamic militant group accusing the Indian government and security forces of the mistreatment of Muslims and various ethnic groups within Kashmir, further demanding billions in reparations, but the complete withdraw of Indian troops and sphere of influence from Kashmir. At this point it had been day 2 in negotiations, with over 200 people being held hostage in various rooms within the Stock Exchange. Despite many attempts from police to persuade the suspects to release several of the hostages, all of which failed. The suspects later giving an ultimatum to law enforcement, with a livestream being setup within the main Stock Exchange building that if no agreement is met within the next 3 days, that every hour from that point. 5 of the 200 hostages would be beheaded via live on social media.[/sup]

[sup]Fourth day of further negotiations, despite police using the many resources at their disposal, no progress has been made in getting the hostages out safely. Despite the failures, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which had been kept up to date with the growing situation in Mumbai had called up the "Marine Commando Force." Known also as MARCOS, a special operations group of the Indian Navy. Those purpose since it's creation in 1987, specialized in air assaults, amphibious reconnaissance/warfare, close quarters combat, counter-terrorism, hostage rescue and among many others. All due to the seriousness of the situation, with fears from another potential Moscow theater hostage theater crisis, which ended in the deaths of between 170 to 244 and injuring over 700 people back in 2002. The MARCOS with additional assistance from federal law enforcement has successfully mapped out the Stock Exchange, conducting last minute exercises before commencing the raid.[/sup]

[sup]Later dubbed "Operation, Hanuman." Hanuman is a symbol of strength, perseverance, devotion, and energy in Hinduism and is considered a popular God. Which was put to the test today as over 57 members of MARCOS risked their lives freeing 200 hostages from the Stock Exchange just hours ago. Captured from the pov perspective of the Indian Commandos, the operation was given a green light with the initial insertion of one Indian Army Chinook helicopter carrying 20 Indian commandos onto the rooftop, followed with the use of several modified armored vehicles attacking from the main entry ways of the Stock Exchange. All assisted by local and federal law enforcement tactical teams. With heavy fighting experience via GoPro and on news cameras on the ground and in the air as 2 of the gunmen were seen entering the roof as the helicopter began unloading the commandos. Via GoPro the commando was seen burst firing rounds from his IWI Tavor, dropping both gunmen instantly. Additionally, heavy machine gun fire was seen from the commandos on the group, providing suppressive fire against the gunmen inside as the commandos with the use of heavy body armor and police issued ballistic shields are seen throwing flash and concussion grenades inside, pushing through with additional reports of automatic fire reported inside.[/sup]

[sup]Additional footage from the Commandos from the roof as they make their way down inside, showed them securing each of the offices on every floor, before running into several other gunmen, one of which carrying an Galil, who was shot and killed immediately. Followed by an explosion, which was later reported to have been from a grenade, that was pulled by one of the gunmen, only to be shot and killed by Commandos before he could deploy it, resulting in the deaths of several other gunmen nearby. Additionally the rest were killed via gunfire, one of which attempted to detonate a explosive, only for it to malfunction, potentially saving everyone inside. The hostages were seen rushing outside the building with police directing and escorting the crowd safety out, ending what many had called the absolute worst day in the history of the Bombay Stock Exchange. With Prime Minister Narendra Modi condemning those involved in the attack and radical Islamic terrorism live on television and on social media, congratulating those who had risked their lives in stopping additional bloodshed from being drawn onto the streets of Mumbai.[/sup]

[sup]In the attack, 6 MARCO Commandos had suffered injuries ranging from shrapnel and gun shots wounds, otherwise are expected to make full recoveries. Additionally this was the first time in India, where government security forces had used drones to safely allow commandos through the buildings as they slowly, but strategically secure each flow. The 4 day long siege with many on social media dubbing India's Nimrod, in connection to a similar situation that occurred in London, United Kingdom in 1980. Where the British Special Air Service made history when they retaken a Embassy and freed hostages after a 6 day long siege, in which 6 DRFLA members had attempted to use those inside as bargaining chips, the plan which was inspired by the Iran hostage crisis. Resulting in the SAS among many of London's finest a quick victory, resulting in the deaths of 5 of the 6 militants, and the arrest and conviction of the remaining one.[/sup]

LA PLATA CONDUCTS AIRBORNE AND AMPHIBIOUS OPERATIONS IN ANTARCTICA

[list][list]February 2024[/list]

La Plata announced it will be conducting naval, amphibious, and airborne operations in its claimed areas of Antarctica. La Plata declared that those operations do not violate the Antarctic Treaty System (ATS), especially Article I, as those operations are not meant to be military operations, but civilian and scientific ones. Indeed, those operations are meant to test out the amphibious capabilities and operativity in those difficult regions in order to both map and ease the logistics needs of La Plata’s scientific missions in the area. It is also a way to test out if airborne logistics will be more efficient than the usual naval or landing plane operations to refuel and resupply the scientific missions.

The government of La Plata issued an official declaration and description of the operations to the Antarctic Treaty Secretariat, located in Buenos Aires since 2003, in order to prove its will and desire to respect the spirit of the Antarctic Treaty signed in 1959.

In its declaration, La Plata describe its competitive operations between the Citizen Airforce and the Citizen Armadda where both military branches will fullfill both their scientific mission and resupplying missions before being recovered by the Armadda’s Amphibious landing docks.

The mission will be conducted with different Platino scientific bases dispersed around the large claimed area of La Plata with a naval and an airborne mission assigned to similar regions in order to test the most efficient method of supply delivery. Quantity of supplies delivered, speed, accessibility, cost-effectiveness will all be factors calculated in the operations.

La Plata described its claimed area as the jointly-claimed areas of its Chilean and Argentinian member-states that go back to the Treaty of Tordesillas in 1494 and since the independence of said members States on the legal basis of uti possidetis and animus occupandi. It also roots its claims on its long and permanent presence in that area since the early 20th Century with one of the earliest missions and bases in that area. La Plata also reiterates that claims are not invalid and that the Antarctic Treaty System is not a renunciation of those claims, as per Article IV of the Treaty.

Finally, La Plata named where the operations will take place, by scientific base. It also offered international and foreign bases based in the Platino claimed area to be part of the resupply mission and transport personnel in and out of the area, as per the rotation system described in Article III.

Secretly, the Platino High command mounted that operation to test out its new naval amphibious vessels and its new transport and air-refuelling aircrafts and to also train its troops in glacial and harsh environment. The mission will depart from the Tiera Del Fuego and Magallanes Region in the southernmost regions of La Plata's Patagonia department.

A total of 200 Airborne troops and 200 Marines will be deployed and retrieved from:

[list][*]1x Xi'an Y-20 strategic airlifter

[*]1x Airbus A400M Atlas transport aircraft

[*]1x An-188 tactical airlifter

[*]2x Airbus A330 MRTT air-refueling aircraft

[*]1x Type 071 amphibious transport dock

[*]1x Hércules class Multipurpose Transport Ship

[*]1x Vulcano-class logistic support ship

[*]An escort will be provided to both aircrafts and vessels up to a reasonable distance of the demilitarized Antarctic region. Retrieval include smaller vessels and helicopters[/list]

Multiple scientific bases will receive resupplying during this operation:

[list][*]Belgrano Base I-II-III (Amphibious and Airborne)

[*]Esperanza Base (Amphibious)

[*]Marambio Base (Airborne)

[*]Ubany and Artigas Bases (Amphibious)

[*]Frei and Escudero Bases (Airborne)[/list]

La Plata also offered to extend its resupply and personnel rotation service to foreign powers present nearby the operations, including Brazil (Lemlar) for its Comandante Ferraz Base, Poland for its Arctowski Base, Korea (Rutannia) for its King Sejong Base, China (Peking Zhongguo) for its Great Wall Base and Russia (Victoria Harbor for its Bellingshausen Base.

The mission is made in February, so in summer in Antarctic, in order to ease operations and safety of the deployed personnel.

There is nothing a third party can do without support from both of the other sides. However I could recommend taking away the pensions of Prime Minister Nouri and those in her government that helped orchestrate the attack on Turkish troops and use it to compensate the families of the lost Turkish soldiers. A small gesture can go a long ways and it would be very symbolic in many ways not just to Turkey, but also Prime Minister Nouri herself and her government.

INDONESIAN SPACE ADMINISTRATION ANNOUNCES NEW, STREAMLINED R8 ROCKET FACTORY IN PONTIANAK [/list]

[sub]In an effort to meet the quota of two R8 launches every two months, the Indonesian Space Administration (ISA) announced the construction of a new R8 rocket factory in Pontianak, South Borneo. The factory will be designed with French and Japanese engineering assistance to make the production as fast as feasibly possible. The current Variable Rocket Factory (VRF) at the Borneo Space Center was originally constructed for use with the Harmoni program and is currently undergoing renovations to adapt it for the R8 rocket. These renovations have caused a delay in R8 production, which has resulted in only one R8 being released every two and a half months. The new R8 rocket factory will be built closer to Pontianak and will be supplemented by a government railway project called the Cosmos Line which will connect the factory directly to the Borneo Space Center towards the east. The factory's proximity to Pontianak was decided to create thousands of jobs for engineers and technicians in the nation, who will be able to take residence in Pontianak while working at the factory. The factory will be designed around the R8 design, and will have R8 research and development offices, test firing rooms, as well as a large 3D printing hall to print RD-108X engines for the R8. The production line at the Pontianak Space Production Facility, the official name of the factory, will be streamlined specifically for the R8 for maximum efficiency in production. ISA Administrator Marina al-Anshori will be personally overseeing the construction of the factory to make sure no corners are cut to ensure maximum safety. Five R8 production lines will be built in the factory, enabling the construction of up to 5 R8 rockets at the same time. This, supposedly, will allow for the construction, processing, and launch of 5 R8 rockets every three months. The new facility is estimated to cost between $650 million USD to up to $2.5 billion USD. The Pontianak Space Production Facility is set for completion in early 2025. [/sub]

MINISTRY OF TRANSPORTATION: NEW INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTS ANNOUNCED TO STRENGTHEN TOURISM AND SPACEFLIGHT [/list]

[sub]COSMOS LINE RAILWAY, PONTIANAK - BORNEO SPACE CENTER | The Ministry of Transportation broke ground on the Cosmos Line Railway, a private ISA railway connecting the Pontianak Space Production Facility, under construction, to the Borneo Space Center towards the east. The Cosmos Line Railway is a two-way railway line that runs from the Pontianak Space Production Facility's Export Hall to the Borneo Space Center's Vehicular Arrival Hall (VAH). The National Railways Authority (NRA) proposed to connect the Cosmos Line to the Pontianak - Ketapang Railway, but the Indonesian Space Administration turned down the proposal on the grounds of 'the requirement of rapid transportation of vital rocket parts'. The Cosmos Line Railway will cost an estimated $662 million USD for a two-way railway with larger than normal cargo tracks to accommodate the trains that will transport the R8 rocket parts from the Pontianak facility to the Borneo Space Center. The Cosmos Line Railway will be completed in late 2024, ahead of the Pontianak facility's completion a month later. [/sub]

[sub]MUTIARA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, JAKARTA | The Ministry of Transportation and the National Aeronautics Authority (NAA) unveiled a joint initiative to construct Mutiara International Airport in Jakarta to replace the aging Soekarto-Hatta International Airport, which was opened in 1981. The new airport will cost an estimated $1.2 billion USD, and will be able to accommodate 85 million passengers a year, and will have four terminals upon opening. The baggage and processing system will be greatly modernized to increase efficiency and baggage claiming speed. Passenger comfort will also be greatly increased, with modernized air conditioning systems, better airport passenger flow and architecture to increase airflow inside. The airport's main administrative company, Angkasa Pura II, hopes that a normal passenger will be able to get through the airport and onto his or her plane in 45 minutes on a busy day. The project will be supported by state-owned and private companies, as well as the Indonesian government themselves. The Ministry of Tourism is also planning to get involved with the Mutiara airport project, but what exactly they'll do remains to be seen. The Mutiara International Airport is slated for completion in autumn 2025.[/sub]

TELKOM SYSTEMS INDONESIA UNVEILS TELKOMSEL 5G SATELLITES, SIGNS $1.2 BILLION USD LAUNCH DEAL WITH ISA [/list]

[sub]In a surprising bid by Telkom Systems Indonesia, the company unveiled their Telkomsel 5G satellites, designed in collaboration with Hope Space Technologies. The satellites are designed to provide high-speed fiber 5G internet for the entire country by 2030. Telkom Indonesia announced the project after the Ministry of Humanitarian Services published a report stating the internet users in the country are heavily concentrated around cities, with barely any internet service in rural areas. Many assumed that Telkom would sign a launch deal with Reach Aeronautics, with whom Hope Space is planning a merger, but many were surprised when Telkom Indonesia announced the signing of a $1.2 Billion USD launch deal with the Indonesian Space Administration. The deal included the launching of 5,000 Telkomsel 5G satellites into orbit aboard the ISA's R8 launch vehicle by 2030. Many questioned possible government involvement in the deal, but the rumors were quashed when Telkom revealed their satellites would be 3 meters by 3 meters by 3 meters large, which meant Reach-1 would only be able to carry two satellites per $35 million USD launch. The R8 rocket can carry up to ten Telkomsel 5G satellites per $65 million USD launch. 10 Telkomsel 5G satellites will be launching aboard the R8 later this month, with another batch in late March. It is estimated that by summer, 3 batches of Telkomsel satellites will be launched every month with the completion of renovations on the Variable Rocket Factory. Telkom Indonesia has also stated that their Telkomsel 5G program will work in unison with the IPSC's INSPIRE program, and not as a competitor to it. [/sub]

DEFENSE MINISTRY: $1.2 BILLION USD CLASSIFIED PROJECT BEGINS AT POINT BAKARU MILITARY INSTALLATION [/list]

[sub]According to the National Expenditure Transparency Act, all expenditure by the government exceeding $500 million USD must be published. The use of the funds may remain classified. Due to this, the Ministry of Defense was directed to announce the start of a $1.2 Billion USD classified project at the Point Bakaru Military Installation on South Sulawesi Island. The project was classified under military infrastructure development, but the public refused to believe it was an infrastructure project due to its immense cost. On February 14, the 1st Infantry Division, the 11th Engineering Division, the 12th Engineer's Brigade, the 12th Armored Company, and the 201st Guard Company, consisting of almost 5,000 troops and 8,500 engineers, arrived at Point Bakaru. 1,000 Peacekeepers also arrived to erect a security fence around the construction site, to the curiosity of the locals living in a nearby village. Construction equipment and trucks, primarily tunnel construction equipment, began arriving the next day. Point Bakaru became home to almost 12,000 new men, majority of whom were Army engineers and military construction workers. The area around Point Bakaru and the western foot of Mount Latimojong was reclassified as military-occupied land, with construction work inside imminent. By February 21, the entire western foot of the mountain was blocked from view by a 10 meter fence and military efforts to keep civilians away. The Defense Ministry brought in interior designers and underground bunker architects into the restricted area on February 23. Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto stated the project will enter limited operations in late 2024, with full completion in early 2026. [/sub]

INDONESIAN SPACE ADMINISTRATION: ASIA REACHES FOR THE STARS [/list]

[sub]The past month has been extremely exciting for the Indonesian space program, and Asian space developments in general. The Indonesian Space Administration and JAXA have begun development on the Unity crewed launch vehicle, which will use a Soyuz-based capsule design called Persatuan which will be launched atop a Japanese HII-A launch vehicle. JAXA and the ISA aspires to launch crew into Low Earth Orbit by 2026-2027 at the earliest. Indonesia and Japan are currently in talks with the Russian space agency Roscosmos to train Indonesian and Japanese astronauts at the renowned Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, which is being leased by Roscosmos. The new crewed space initiative was also followed by the possibility of a joint space station run by JAXA, with Indonesian modules. Indonesia is also planning to discuss a Lunar program with nations such as Japan, La Plata, and the IPDEC member states. [/sub]

[sub]In response to Crazybloxian Empire (Philippines)'s request for collaboration in space exploration, the Indonesian Space Administration released a memorandum expressing Indonesia's 'extreme enthusiasm' to collaborate with the Philippine Space Agency. The ISA has stated that the Philippines is welcome to collaborate with Indonesia on satellite launches, and if the Japanese permit, on a possible joint space station between Indonesia and Japan, and even crewed launches from Tanegashima. The Indonesian government has invited Philippine representatives to Jakarta to discuss future space collaborations. The ISA is also willing to collaborate on the Philippines' First Child in Space program, but expresses worry regarding the risks a child would be placed in to do such an endeavor. The Indonesian government has also invited Ayala Space to join the Trinity Program, a jumpstarter initiative to support private space companies. Indonesia and her government look forward to future collaborations with the Philippines, one of Indonesia's closest partners. [/sub]

[sub]The Indonesian Space Administration has also expressed great interest in collaborating with Nevbrejnovitz (La Plata) in space initiatives, with the ISA showing interest in jointly developing a larger version of La Plata's Adventura 1 reusable launch vehicle. Satellite and crewed orbital ventures are also up for discussion, with the ISA also considering a joint space station. If La Plata allows, the Indonesian government invites Platino space representatives to Jakarta to discuss the possibility of collaboration. [/sub]

| MAJOR REFORMS PASSED |

[sub]MARCH, 2024[/sub]

| Queen Assala Nasri's government is quick to introduce new major reforms onto the fields of the country. National Working Service has been established, which aims to reduce unemployment and create major working opportunities for people all around. It will establish Community Job Exchanges Centres, the CJEC will allow employees and employers to find themselves on a new grand scale, both at the centre and online. Secondly, any foreign business employers entering the Levant Kingdom will have a chance to sign up with CJEC and quickly find the people they need for the job in Levant. Secondly, the National Working Service will help people to establish their own businesses. The NWS will have Business Loan Bank which will aid new-coming business makers and offer them a low interest loan for them to start up, with a repayment time to be 3 years after first profits come in. In addition, the NWS will offer special courses for people on how to be business owners and manage a micro to small business. The NWS will also establish a register of employed and unemployed in local communities. Those that are unemployed, and are looking for work will assigned a state job such as with construction of highways, building parks, neighbourhoods ect, in order to get their unemployment benefit. It is estimated that NWS could, by the end of 2024, reduce unemployment by nearly 10%.

The Education Act has been passed which will establish Career Schools in the Levant Kingdom. Career Schools will be an option for those leaving High School to gain education and training in a certain career and get them ready for the workplace. In addition, Career Schools will be open to the uneeducated population who will be offered $450 Dollars a month to attend such school and train themselves up for the workplace. The Education Act also abolishes all and any university tuition fees. New Career schools will be formed around the country, and will provide a very important tool for the creation of a well educated and trained workforce.

The Bordello Act, despite it's controversy, has also been passed giving those in the field of Prostitution and Escort equal worker rights, ability to unionise, introduction of legal regulations and taxation on the field of the business. Another reform passed is the Village Health Act, which enables the formation of state healthcare clinics. Along with that came the Private Health Act, which enables now for private health companies to form health clinics. The Business and Business Formation Regulation Act, allows small and medium businesses to operate more freely and opening a business has become far easier avoiding a great amount of bureaucracy.

The Foreign Business Taxation and Regulation Act has also been passed. The Act introduces regulations extremely similar to those of MECO and EU markets in order to attract foreign investments and companies. Furthermore, the taxation on foreign companies has been reduced to around 12% from the current 45%. Furthermore, the burocracy around opening and running a company in the Levant has been heavily reduced to attract more foreign companies and their investments.

Another major reform is the Land Reform which will give better aid to the farmers and land owners in order to get their products out into the world. The reform will bring in subsides for the farmers and land owners, create mass wave of revamping of all the technology and such used, creation of the Farmers and Land Owners Trust Fund in order to give them security in their later life and will allow larger presence of their products in the world.

The mass wave of reforms being passed is on a scale never seen before, and on a major scale internationally. Queen Assala Nasri, however, is clearly inviting foreign investments and companies to the Levant Kingdom which is now rapidly stabilising and reforming. Her Majesty has also announced that she will go out on a diplomatic mission tour, starting with Iran. It's said that she intends to visit Iran, Russia, Arab Federal States, France, United Kingdom, Germany, Korea, Japan, La Plata and United States of Paramerica. The tour is intended to not only gather support for her regime but most importantly to gain investments, key allies and major companies entering. In her speech, Queen Assala Nasri made it clear that her intention is to make the Levant Kingdom "...the economic hub of the Middle East, the technological and economic underbelly of the Middle East through which major trade routes, major services and major industries come through." |

There is nothing a third party can do without support from both of the other sides. However I could recommend taking away the pensions of Prime Minister Nouri and those in her government that helped orchestrate the attack on Turkish troops and use it to compensate the families of the lost Turkish soldiers. A small gesture can go a long ways and it would be very symbolic in many ways not just to Turkey, but also Prime Minister Nouri herself and her government. That is of course up to your majesty."[/sub]

From there he took a flight to Teheran and soon landed at International Airport Mehrabad, he then headed to the Shah's palace at Niavaran (?) He was in a nice dark grey suit with matching tie. Princess Fatmeh trailed him in a mauve pantsuit with pastel yellow flats. She was unsure how the Shah would receive her considering she was a member of the Diba family. The two will await the arrival of the Shah.

Finishing a phone conversation with the Senate and National Consultative Assembly, Shah Reza Pahlavi would exit his private office and walk toward entrance of the Niavaran palace. With his hands behind his back wearing a charcoal gray double-breasted suit, Shah Pahlavi would exit the residency and approach his guests with a smile and open arms.

Shah Reza Pahlavi:

[list][sub]"Emperor Jao....Princess Fatmeh. Family. It is a pleasure to meet you both and gracious to have your company here today. It is a beautiful day so I believe that we will have our discussions in the courtyard if that best suits you?"[/sub][/list]

Shah Reza Pahlavi would look to Princess Fatmeh and embrace her with a hug and kiss on both cheeks.

As I have said before Iran is quite literally the France of the Middle East in it's own way. Iran has also been the driving force and financier behind MECO.
