[sup]India Announces Plan To Increase Nuclear Energy by Five Times Before 2035!?[/sup]

[sup]NEW DELHI: With India after it has announced it's commitment to lowering it's carbon footprint with the sighing of the Paris Accords. With plans on not only opening 5 more plants within the next few years, but to produce 3 to 5 times more nuclear power from it's current level and has openly called for greater cooperation between respecting nations and other states for clean energy such as bio fuel and hydrogen.[/sup]

[sup]The move to help India substantially increase it's share of non fossil fuel in total energy mix in sync with it's pledges under the Paris Agreement. Though India share of installed capacity of non-fossil fuel based electricity generation has already reached 39% of it's total power generation capacity against it's already existing target of 40% by 2030. The step towards nuclear energy would help it upgrade it's action against climate change.[/sup]

[sup]India has since and continued to promote clean and green energy, and has reiterated India's commitment to promote atomic/nuclear programmes for providing not only a major source of clean energy. but also a major tool for application in areas like healthcare and agriculture sector.[/sup]

FOREIGN MINISTRY: PRESIDENT MACRON APPOINTS LOUIS ALPHONSE DE BOURBON AS AMBASSADOR TO SPAIN IN LATEST COUNCIL OF MINISTERS MEETING

[sub]VTH REPUBLIC | PARIS, 2027 [/sub][/list]

[sub]| HELM OF DIPLOMACY, MINISTÈRE DES AFFAIRES ÉTRANGÈRES - | In a rather controversial move by the head of state, President Emmanuel Macron has appointed Louis Alphonse de Bourbon, Pretender to the French throne and Duke of Anjou to be France's Ambassador to Spain. Much like Germany's policy of utilizing members of the great noble families of Germany through the Agreement of Hessen of the 19th of October 1945. That agreement allowed Germany's historical royal families to become permanent ambassadors in certain countries where Royalty is present. They are called Royal Public Agents. President Macron's decision, under the advice of his Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian is largely based upon the German Agreement of Hessen. Louis Alphonse de Bourbon is patrilineally the senior great-grandson of King Alfonso XIII of Spain. However, his grandfather Infante Jaime, Duke of Segovia, renounced his rights to the Spanish throne for himself and his descendants owing to his deafness (a renunciation disputed by legitimists). The crown of Spain has descended to his second cousin, King Felipe VI of Spain. Through his mother, he is also a great-grandson of Spain's caudillo (dictator), General Francisco Franco and through his father, a great-great-great-grandson of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom. It is through these familial ties and time spent living in Spain that Louis Alphonse has been appointed to such a prestigious office within the French government and is in no way setting a trend towards monarchism within the French Republic. | [/sub]

NOT DEAD TODAY

On board the Regina Elena

5:04AM - 1h56mn before Inferno

The chopper landed on a welcoming committee of Italian sailors of the flagship of the Italian navy, the famous Regina Elena. Captain Markus and Egon Nielsen salute the welcoming officer.

- Por favore.

The Italian sailors seemed ready and concentrated. It was only now two hours before the ship would begin its operations. Egon soon received a message he did not expect on his phone.

"ATEO INTERCEPTED LEAK - The Inferno is happening. Yugoslavs ready to FIRE"

He could not believe what he just read. As he walked through the long hallways of the flagship, he tried to hide his fear. Markus saw the distress but didn't want to disturb the visible confusion of the diplomat. Soon they arrived at the commanding bay. Standing next to a map and discussing with other officers was the tall and strongly built Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone.

- Signore, Capitani Markus Bender i sono diplomat Egon Nielsen, Deutsche Marine i.....

- ATEO yes yes

said the Admiral brushing away the introductions. He throws his pen on the table, seemingly irritated by the guests.

- So, Mister... Nielsen ? What brings you from Hamburg I suppose on board my ship in a moment like this.

Egon was still trying to find the words. The silence of the commanding bay was crushing his soul. It was as if time was standing still and the entire world was pressing on his heart and shoulders. He knew that every word was going to count. Every gesture, every tone, every order of sentence, could be the difference between life and death. But also, he wanted to show the Admiral on his phone the word "ANGEL", a codename for an agreement that would end operations before Italian command could inform. It was now a matter of seconds.

- Sir, I came to ask you to not launch your missiles

The Admiral smiled in a mix of admiration and condencence.

- I have my orders Herr Nielsen.

- Sir, you need to give us time. I have a good man in Yugoslavia right now.

There was silence. The Admiral look down at the map and kept measuring distances as if nothing was bothering him. He simply continued to tell orders

In Yugoslavia

5:07AM - 1h53mn before Inferno

Around the table, Arnold Wittgenstein was trying everything for the agreement to be signed. He kept looking at the clock.

- Sir ! Is this really worth it ? People will forget this event trust me. They will NEVER forget what you are about to do. Is this worth dying for ? Some ships ? Will innocent civilians dying really satisfy this ? This is FOREVER sir. A navy can be rebuilt, terms can change, relations get better with time. Do not plunge everything in hell. Nothing good will every come from it.

On board the Regina Elena

5:10AM - 1h50mn before Inferno

- I have my orders German ! I cannot disobey like that for you ! Are you crazy ?! Since when did the Germans would do the same. It would be a betrayal for my country. And the Yugoslavs are asking for it. If they want total war, they will get it. Now let me finish my preparations. I have a war to win.

TAKING STEPS FORWARD

MENGAMBIL LANGKAH KE DEPAN

[sup]May 2027

[/sup]

[list]

A Russian-Indonesian helicopter program, forest rangers, and Recycling

____________________________________________________________

Program Helikopter Rusia-Indonesia, Penjaga Hutan dan Daur Ulang

Blue Krait

[sub]》 The Ka-52IN "Blue Krait" is a planned agreement made between the Russian company Kamov and Indonesian Aerospace, where Indonesia will acquire the original Russian version's (Kamov Ka-52K) body, engine, and cockpit/control systems. Other components such as weapons, foldable rotor blades, and other equipment will be manufactured by Indonesian Aerospace. Indonesia needed such helicopter for marine attack and air support capabilities, with Sandiaga's NCDIP plan supporting it. The helicopters are planned to be in use for the new multipurpose ship orders, especially for the new Banjarmasin class ships. "The agreement is not yet ratified, so if the west has any 'better' offer, we are welcome to see it. I'm saying this because, I don't want to think that the west is now seeing Indonesia at Russia's side, especially with the crisis flaming in the Balkans. Indonesia is just interested in the helicopter, that's all. Indonesia wants good terms with both the West and the Soviet-Sino bloc, Indonesia supports neither side as the crisis expands and heats.", President Sandiaga Uno, earlier today.[/sub]

Forest Rangers

[sub]》 The Indonesian illegal large-scale deforestation problem has decreased since 2022 but is still active and now threating the Papua region, with corruption and illegal logging expanding in the area. The Indonesia Forest Rangers (Indonesian: Polisi Kehutanan abbreviated "Polhut") is under the Ministry of the Environment. One of their responsibilities is to take action against illegal logging and patrol national parks of the country, and is now tackling cases of logging corruption in Pupua and Borneo, corruption cases are usually for the Corruption Eradication Commission, BIM, or National police to handle, but it seems a team of Indonesian Rangers have been busting cases the past 7 months, and a very big one this week in Papua, the one that has caught public, and government attention.[/sub]

[sub]》 An estimated 73 percent of all logging in Indonesia is believed to be illegal since 2020, but during 2022 there was a decrease to 60% It was due to a team of Rangers, the self proclaimed anggrek bulan team, it was a team of new units that have sought to protect the Indonesian forests like never before. Anggrek bulan, is moon orchid in English, the moon orchid is also featured on the Indonesian flag, and is the national flower. After unfolding a corruption case in Borneo, they have gained intel that their own agency was corrupt itself, leading to the arrest of multiple ranger personnel on 2023. Leading the agency to greatness, the team decreased illegal logging to 50% (2023-2025), most were uncovered through corruption cases between local district governors and criminal loggers. Now 2 days ago the team uncovered a large Papuan case that has captured attention, making estimations of illegal logging back to a 60%. The Government has passed a new spending bill for the forest rangers, now to finally eradicate the illegal logging problem that Sandiaga Uno addressed in his presidential campaign. The Indonesian green, progressive and socialist parties highly support the bill.[/sub]

[sub]》 The bill includes;[/sub]

[sub]Increase Ranger spending from 1.4 Billion rupiah to 15 billion rupiah[/sub]

[sub]X30 Pindad Komodo[/sub]

[sub]x10 Rajawali RI-1-2000 Hovercraft[/sub]

[sub]x5 KMC Komando[/sub]

[sub]Investment in upgraded personal unit kit and personal protective equipment ​[/sub]

[sub]x2 Eurocopter AS332 Super Puma (licensed built by Indonesian Aerospace)[/sub]

[sub]x5 Bell 412 (licensed built by Indonesian Aerospace)[/sub]

[sub]x30 Lapan LSU-03 [/sub]

Its Killing Indonesia and the World

[sub]》 "Plastic waste is deadly. Its killing us, Indonesia, and the world", Dian Kurniawati CEO of Tridi Oasis (plastic waste recycling company), on waste pollution. Recycling is getting a prominent expansion this month, with Tridi Oasis plants expanding out of Java and entering Sumatra, Borneo, Sulawesi and Papua. It is planned to enter the Maluku Islands, Lesser Sunda Islands, and Indonesian Timor in 2 months. Other recycling companies are also expanding such as PT. Indonesian Rubber Recycling or PT. Production Recycling Indonesia (Tridi Oasis competitor). Following this, the government has authorized mandatory teaching in schools about recycling, but this only applies for schools that are in range to a recycling plant. The Ministry of the Environment has funded ad campaigns to encourage recycling as it is mostly "nation wide". Most recycling plants are centered in cities, but Sandiaga Uno and his party suggest that plants should also be built in centers of rural areas, so farmers and other rural citizens get the same access. Local mayors have begun in investing into public recycling bins, mostly funded by private companies.[/sub][/list]

[pre]May 2027 | Turkish Embassy, Belgrade, Yugoslavia[/pre]

[list][pre]| THE WAVES OF CRISIS: PART 02[/pre][/list]

Phones buzzed endlessly and diplomatic staff ran about in the small, crowded main office room of the Turkish embassy in Belgrade. Unofficial communication with the Turkish embassy in Rome and the Turkish Foreign Ministry Office in Ankara had gone off the charts in recent days and in particular the past few hours as the conflict in the Adriatic reaches its boiling point. Hami Aksoy, the Turkish ambassador to Yugoslavia and a former Foreign Ministry spokesperson, was seated in his office, his door open. He was frantically typing up a secure email to be sent to the Turkish embassy in Rome and the Foreign Ministry Office in Ankara. With a pencil nestled over his ear and his eyes frantic thanks to a sleepless night, his fingers rapidly flew over the keyboard of his personal computer.

[list]WAR NOT INEVITABLE, CONFLICT COULD STILL BE STOPPED. . .[/list]

His eyes darted from one part of his screen to another, the babble outside his small, cramped office continuing.

[list]. . . EVACUATION NOT NEEDED, ASSISTANCE TO THE GERMANS ON THE TABLE. . .[/list]

He stopped for a few seconds, taking in what he had written already. He briefly skimmed his draft for errors before continuing onwards, time ticking slowly by.

[list]. . . NUCLEAR WAR IS NOT GUARANTEED. PROCEED WITH DIPLO OPTION IMMEDIATELY. COOPERATION WITH THE GERMANS SUGGESTED.[/list]

He stopped again for a moment, considering the word he had just used. Would the Germans even accept? There had been barely any communication between Turkey and Germany since the crisis started. Germany was too focused on preventing the 'Inferno' in the Adriatic and the Turkish Government had taken a hands-off, non-intervention approach to the crisis. Aside from throwing strongly-worded letters at Yugoslavia and strongly-worded letters of support at Italy, Turkey had not been involved in the crisis. He took a deep breath and finished his letter.

[list]COMMUNICATION WITH BERLIN RECOMMENDED. CRISIS MUST BE HALTED BEFORE ITS TOO LATE. END.[/list]

Aksoy skimmed the email once more, addressed to the Turkish ambassador in Rome and the Turkish Foreign Minister in Ankara, before hitting the enter button. The Turkish ambassador to Yugoslavia was. . . unsure. He had just suggested that Turkey cooperate with the Germans to help quell the situation before its too late. It sounded and felt like the right thing, but he still felt unsure nonetheless. However, the email was sent. In mere seconds its recipients would receive code red emails from the Turkish embassy in Belgrade.

[spoiler=IMPORTANT NOTE]NOTE: This RP does not mean Turkey and Germany are already cooperating. It is merely a recommendation by one of Turkey's diplomats on the ground. In no way did Bayern approve this, and this RP is designed for him to respond to this should he so wish.[/spoiler]

Neom City Project Officially Completed; Caliph Abdullah Abdulrahman Attends Opening Ceremony

اكتمل مشروع مدينة نيوم رسميًا ؛ الخليفة عبدالله عبدالرحمن يحضر حفل الافتتاح

[sub]Caliph Abdullah bin al-Hussein Abdulrahman I | ABU DHABI, 2027 [/sub][/list]

[sub]| DAWLAT ALAITIHAD LIL'UMAT AL'IISLAMIA - ادولة الاتحاد للأمة الإسلامية |[/sub]

[pre]After 10 years of development, financing, and construction, the $500 billion Neom City project ended with great success and a grand opening. Neom City is a cross-border city in the Tabuk Province of northwestern Arabia. It incorporates smart city technologies and also function as a tourist destination. The site is north of the Red Sea, east of Egypt across the Strait of Tiran, and south of Israel and the Jordanian provinces of the Caliphate. It covers a total area of 26,500 km2 (10,200 sq mi) and extends 460 km along the coast of the Red Sea. There are five components of Neom that brings the illustration of a new way forward for the Caliphate:[/pre]

[list]THE LINE[/list]

[list][list][sub]The Line refers to a smart city in Neom, Tabuk that have no cars, no streets, and no carbon emissions.The city itself have created at least 380,000 jobs and projected to add $48 billion to the Caliphate's GDP. The Line is a 106-mile-long belt of hyperconnected communities stretching from the mountains of northwest Saudi Arabia to the Red Sea. But unlike the polluting metropolises of today, this city of 1 million will be powered by “100% clean energy,” with residents ferried about by “autonomous mobility solutions” and high speed transit via the hyperloop high speed trains and rails provided by Abu Dhabi. The Line is laid in three layers: a surface layer for pedestrians, plus two subterranean layers for transport and infrastructure to preserve 95% of the region’s natural environment. Rather than one long development, the city is arranged as clusters of aggregated urban areas along a central “spine.” Artificial Intelligence have been incorporated in various degrees and components to improve daily life for residents and businesses alike, with a projected 90% of available data harnessed to enhance infrastructure capabilities. Other incorporations into Neom is an extensive amusement park, and the highest density of Michelin-starred restaurants in the region, where, unlike the majority of the Islamic Jamahiriyah, will allow alcohol to be served but only on the grounds of restaurants, hotels, resorts, and the privacy of homes to abide by the Abdulrahmanist doctrine of "Social Sobriety and Purity". The Line is a 16-borough city that lean heavily into solar power, wind farms, and emerging green technology that transforms water into oxygen and hydrogen.[/sub][/list][/list]

[list]NEOM BAY[/list]

[list][list][sub]A new airport at Sharma which would operate regular commercial flights from around the Caliphate and the Middle East North Africa region to Neom. This also involves building the first residential area in Neom.[/sub][/list][/list]

[list]NEOM AIRPORT[/list]

[list][list][sub]It is 48 km away from the nearest airport, Sharm El Sheikh International Airport. It is one of the four-airport network that is part of the city, one of which is to be international. In January, the airport received 130 passengers, who were employees in Neom; this was their first visit to the City. The airport is located at Neom Bay, the first area constructed in the framework of the City project. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) classified the airport as a commercial hub. The length of the airport's runway is 2,630 metres (8,630 ft). The airport has a logistic location as it links three countries: Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Yemen. Neom Airport is the first airport in the region to use the 5G wireless network service.[/sub][/list][/list]

[list]NEOM INDUSTRIAL CITY (NIC)[/list]

[list][list][sub]Neom Industrial City (NIC) is located around 25 kilometres (16 mi) north of the town of Duba, and covers roughly 200–250 square kilometres (77–97 sq mi) of land, of which approximately 40 square kilometres (15 sq mi) forms the NIC. The industrial city focuses on modern manufacturing and industrial research, and development centered on the expansion of the Duba port, which seeks to model itself to become the "Dubai" of the Red Sea", thus providing the Caliphate with additional economic, industrial, and financial power projection in the Red Sea and toward the Western Hemisphere.[/sub][/list][/list]

[list]NEOM AGRICULTURAL ZONE[/list]

[list][list][sub]6,500 hectares (16,000 acres) of the surrounding land for agricultural fields, and to rely heavily on modernized drip irrigation practices and usage of genetically engineered crops where needed.[/sub][/list][/list]

[pre]For the official opening, the Caliph Abdullah Abdulrahman demonstrated his great appreciation for the hard work, ingenuity, innovation, and progressive thinking of the people of the Caliphate for the 10 year journey toward completing the Neom City. To further legitimize Neom City, it was revealed by Omran Architect senior engineers and architects that a new palace for the Abdulrahman Family has also been completed along the Red Sea. The palace includes its own private dock, small private airport, two helicopter pads, underground facilities for private offices, and completely secluded from the general populace. The Caliph humbly accepted the new palace prior to cutting the ribbon with large golden scissors to formally open Neom City for operation.[/pre]

Seeking to take responsibilities of her own to assist in the legitimacy and solidification of the Caliphate, Queen Rania Al-Abdullah Abdulrahman boarded a privately owned and customized Airbus 231 belonging to the Caliph en route to Tehran, Paseo to meet with Empress Esfir of the Persian Empire to further solidify relations between Abu Dhabi and Tehran. Queen Rania, a Palestinian by birth, sought to further increase cooperation with Iran regarding a range of topics but one of them being the current conditions of Palestinians as well as addressing pockets of poverty still in the region. Wearing a pomegranate red dress with her free blowing dirty blonde hair and honey brown eyes, Queen Rania would exit from the Airbus 231 as her gold heels, belt, and ear rings reflected in the sun as she was surrounded by agents of SOD-NOIS and the SARGC. Smiling and waving as she descended down the plane stairs, the Queen would await for a representative to greet and escort her.

| TEHRAN, IRAN |

| Queen Rania has been becoming a celebrity figure in Iran for some time now. Many have arrived at the airport to greet and see the Queen, who symbolises to them a new Arabia, the new Arab people, ones that are friendly towards Iran. With major press around, hundreds of fans waving and shouting love phrases towards the Queen, the Queen would be greeted by the youngest son of Empress Esfir Pahlavi, Prince Cyrus Pahlavi. Wearing a dark green suit, the openly bisexual Prince would smile and bow at the Queen. Offering his hand for a handshake, he would be filled with light heartness and smile. |

[list][ Prince Cyrus Pahlavi ]: "It's such a pleasure to meet you, Your Majesty. And to host you in our country. Please, follow me."[/list]

| After taking pictures, the two would enter the limousine that was surrounded by major guards, the limousine would speed off through the centre of Tehran where the people gathered to wave and cheer at the coming Queen. Going through the beautiful and modernised Tehran, the Queen would arrive at the beautiful Nahran Estate, the private estate of Empress Esfir. Going through the heavily guarded metal gates, the Queen would arrive at the beautiful Nahran Mansion. The doors of the limousine would open and the Queen and the Prince would set off for the lush gardens of the estate, that were filled with beautiful flowers and plants from all around the world. In the middle of the beautiful garden would be Empress Esfir. Wearing a dark blue dress, with a bright blue shawl over it, her hair up and golden necklace, the Empress would slowly get up before nodding at the Queen. The Prince would nod and leave off. |

[list][ Empress Esfir Pahlavi ]: "Queen Rania, it's a pleasure to have you here. Please, take a seat and help yourself. The best of fruits this garden can offer, and the best of wine this country has."

[list][sub]"The areas that we would need Iranian assist is investments regarding infrastructure sustainability. The Caliphate is able to ensure adequate funding; however, I think it would be much more cost beneficial if the Caliphate and Iran approach this in a joint way so that the Palestinians can begin establishing their own homeland in the region. I have seen the work Iranian investments have contributed to in Somaliland as well as what Abu Dhabi-Tehran cooperation can achieve by looking at the Gulf. I think this would be an opportunity especially through the MEIO to apply this initiative as the first legitimate project so we can collectively show the world the new reality in the Middle East."[/sub][/list]

KINGDOM OF KOREA[list]

[sup]A State of Emergency[/sup][/list]

| [sub]The footsteps of a man would echo loudly throughout a very silent National Assembly, it was the first time MPs had gathered since the assassination of Third Prince Yi Dong-hyuk, all of them were dressed in dark clothing with a black band on their left arms. The footsteps grew louder as the man entered the chamber along with several other senior figures. All MPs stood as the man, the Prime Minister, took his place at the dispatch box. The Prime Minister had given an intial statement but for the last three days the Deputy Prime Minister, Lee Jae-myung, had been making the public appearances as the Prime Minister grieved the loss of his youngest brother. The Prime Minister appeared as precise and well-dressed as ever, all his eyes were puffy from a mixture of exhaustion and crying, but his composure was one of determination.[/sub] |

[list][sub]Yi Jung-hee, PM: "I stand here today in this chamber, in front of all of you, in front of this nation a markedly different man than I was four days ago. The loss of Dong-hyuk- my little brother, has been agonising. It is something I would never wish on my worst enemy. Those of you are older siblings will understand the desire to protect your younger sibling, and the failure I feel is immense. I have been told many times in the last three days it is not my fault. It probably isn't, but it still feels that way.[/sub]

[sub]My family and I, would like to thank everyone and anyone in this chamber, in this nation and across the world who has been sending us their well wishes, it truly means an awful lot to us. There are however, twenty other families just like mine, who need answers to how this happened; why it happened; and how to make the bastards pay for what they've done. In the mean time I feel it necessary to enact a state of emergency in the country. Giving the cabinet and I more freedom to enact legislation in areas of national security, quickly and effeciently. A 7pm curfew will be enforced in urban populations over one million, this curfew will be enforced with assistance from the military and the police; these measure will last for a total of thirty days. I will be giving weekly updates on the situation surrounding these emergency measures until they are ended. I will now take questions and statements."[/sub][/list]

| [sub]The Prime Minister would quickly sit back down, as MPs across the chamber rose to applaud him, in times of great strife Korean society had a tanacity to rally behind the nation no matter your colour, creed, or politics. A nation hurting was rallying behind the Prime Minister, as their leader, but more importantly as someone deeply hurting. After several minutes the MPs would begin to take their seats as the Prime Minister gave a pained smile, the meeting in the chamber would last some forty-five more minutes as MPs asked questions of the Prime Minister and made statements. An aide would gently make his away to the Prime Minister before carefully whispering something in his ear, making the Prime Minister look rather concerned to the man, before nodding rather erracticly, giving a response lipreaders would note as 'how many seconds to midnight?'.[/sub] |

SYRIAN INTERIOR MINISTRY: PRESIDENT ASSAD FORMS NEW POLITICAL BLOC

[sub]SYRIAN ARAB REPUBLIC | DAMASCUS, 2027 [/sub][/list]

[sub]| PEOPLE'S PALACE, QASR AL-SHAAB - قصر الشعب | THE LION OF DAMASCUS | Earlier this week President Bashar al-Assad met with the Council of Ministers to discuss the future of politics in Syria. With the growing disdain and failings of the outmoded and unprincipled ruling Syrian Ba'ath Party, the President motioned for the creation of a new political bloc under the Syrian Democratic People's Party. With an ideology stooped in Syrian nationalism, social democracy, democratic socialism, and secularism; the SDPP would be a prime way of reuniting the Syrian people and their government. President Assad ordered the dissolution of the reigning People's Council and requested a special election to reelect the 250 members of Syria's legislature. With nearly all of the former Syrian Ba'athist Party members leaving their party to join the President's new bloc, a government was formed by a Syrian Democratic People's Party majority of 171 seats with the Syrian Ba'athist Party taking up just 20 seats and 59 seats remaining independents. The President's new political party is expected to lead Syria's transition towards a more liberalized economy with the Tehrir Plan. | [/sub]

NOT DEAD TODAY

BERLIN - Castle of Berlin - Residence of the Chancellor

.....42 minutes before Inferno

The Castle of Berlin was empty except for the fact for some members remaining. Scheffner looked at the clock sitting on her desk. It was showing nearly 7AM. The sun was starting to rise. At this moment, the Minister of Defense Leonard Huller knocks the door. "Come in" says Greta. He walks towards her and stops in front of her desk. "Ma'm, Arnold is now giving the last proposal. If we have nothing from him in more or less 15 minutes, well...... God help us".

Scheffner nodded but said nothing. She knew everything was at stake, that her diplomats had done everything in their power, gave it all to save Europe. Every second felt like time was speeding up even more.

Yugoslavia

.....32 minutes before Inferno

- Sir ! Think about it ! If we let this happen, entire generations will curse you. Your people will bear the eternal shame like mine does. Is this what you want ?!

....20 minutes before Inferno

On board the Regina Elena

- Admiral ! You need to give me time !

- Move away German ! Prepare to fire on my command !

- Admiral ! Please. My diplomat is right now in Yugoslavia. It's going to happen.

The admiral looks at the clock. 6:40AM. He was also nervous but wanting this to happen at the same time.

....10 minutes before Inferno

Embassy of Germany in Rome

Liesgen was hurrying to get the keys of the car when his assistant came to her rescue.

- Madam ! I have my car. We can go now. With diplomatic priority we will be away clear !

The wife of Arnold took the two kids still confused and half awake from the early morning rise. She installs them quickly with a small kiss to reassure them. "Alles gut werden" she says in a soothing voice. The car leaves the Embassy with sirens and the flag of Germany on the side indicating its diplomatic priority status everywhere.

...3 minutes before Inferno

Yugoslavia

- Look we don't have time to negotiate here. The deadline is more than done. Think about it. This is not forever. This is YOU saving humanity here. Germany supports you. But it can't if you decide to do this. Do you understand ? Right now, I have someone on board an Italian ship begging an Admiral to not fire yet and give you the chance to save Europe. To live another day.

He walks towards the window

- Yes....... to not be dead today

...2 minutes before Inferno

On the Regina Elena

A sailor walks towards the Admiral

- Sir, all missiles ready for launch

- Begin setting up coordinates and move into position

- Yes sir.

Egon looks at the missile bay. The smoke of the injection of liquid oxygen paralyses his entire body. He can see it with his own eyes. He turns his head back to the Admiral unfazed by the moment. His phone did not say anything yet. And the clock continues slowly but surely to arrive at doomsday.... 06:58AM

...90 seconds

Liesgen Wittgenstein, wife of Arnold Wittgenstein

The car had finally arrived right in front of a private jet of the Bundesrepublik. The pilot outside welcomed her. Liesgen ran with her two kids in her arms and the embassy assistant with the small luggage.

- We are ready to leave Ma'm !

- Go ! Go !

The hatch of the aircraft closes and taxi into position for takeoff.

...60 seconds

Yugoslavia

- Sir, I need a clear decision NOW ! I DON'T CARE ANYMORE. PLEASE.

...30 seconds

Regina Elena

ALARM ALARM - CLEAR THE DECK

- Silo 1

- READY !

- Silo 2

- READY !

- Silo 3

- READY !

- On your command Admiral

The red light indicated the readiness of the FIRE button. Egon looked at it too. He stared at the Admiral in the eyes. Markus behind was watching the spectacular ending of a nation in front of him. Fifteen years in the navy and this immense display of power was this time going to be used for real.

- SCHEIßE ! KOMM SCHON ! KOMM SCHON !

...20 seconds

Yugoslavia

- O...okay

His hand was shaking. He took his phone and pressed the message immediately to Luigi Di Maio and Egon Nielsen. Both top and bottom of the Italian command would be informed.

...10 seconds

- Initiate sequence !

Suddenly, the light of the phone shows a message from Arnold. His heart sank. He rushes to the Admiral.

- STOP EVERYTHING ! THE DEAL IS AGREED !

- Dio ! STOP THE SEQUENCE !

**

Yugoslavia

Arnold received confirmation on his phone that the deal was confirmed. A drop of water fell on the screen. His vision became blurry. Not able to stand anymore, he fell on his knees and cried. The relief was so big, but the burden so awful, there was no sense of happiness.

The diplomat who had lived through the beautiful days of Italy, became an Italian in heart, had gone through a very peaceful career, had lived 11 days of horror. He had slept perhaps 15 hours in total.

He knew this was not easy to get. Yugoslavia was still a victim in his eyes. And this was not going to help the psyche of a traumatised nation. But this time Germany would back her again.

Regina Elena

The Italian sailors cheered on the news. Some shook hands with each other. The Admiral smiled slightly. It was a victory for them and the fact they too, could go home. Egon felt lonely. He was on board a foreign ship. He was also exhausted and went on deck. There, the wind and the breeze of the sea made him feel better. Markus followed him.

- Well we won't be dead today yet

- Indeed. Nice morning isn't it.

- I'll appreciate them a lot more don't worry

The both smile and laugh slightly looking above at the command bay where the Admiral could see them.

- Lets go home

They go up again and salute the Italian admiral one last time. The rays of the sun could have not illuminated more the departing scene of these three actors of an incredible and stressful episode in European history.

- Good bye Admiral

- Good bye Captain and Herr Nielsen.

The helicopter leaves the ship. The entire Italian navy seemed to be lowering its missiles. Both Markus and Egon could imagine what would this would have been had Inferno become reality.

Berlin

- CHANCELLOR ! They made it !

She dropped the book. At first the shock. But then a smile and a warm hug of relief with the Minister of Defence. This event had made them extremely close. He was also smiling like never before.

- Good job Greta ! Germany can be proud of you !

- Let's make sure the Yugoslavs get our full support to defend their integrity. This will not be an easy moment for them.

- Yes Ma'm

The morning sun was more beautiful than anything from the balcony. For there was no dead today.

L'ITALIA E' VITTORIA!

MAY 2027

"Italy is victorious", or "l'italia è vittoriosa" has plastered the faces of most of the Nations newspapers, magazines and even online social media sites as Yugoslavia announced it had agreed to the most recent terms of the Italian Ultimatum. The Streets of Rome were filled with jubilant and cheering crowds as a result of the achievement, which is being perceived in Italy as not just a victory against Yugoslavia and its Nuclear demagoguism but importantly the new Soviet State which had backed them up. It has completely rejuvenated the Nations trust and faith in the Coalition Government led by the Brothers of Italy and Lega, and smashed the hopes of the leftist coalition set up against them. Not just is Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni being hailed as a hero of Italy, but as a hero of anti-communism in general as most citizens identified the Yugoslavs as neo communists due to their soviet alignment.

Within the next 30 days, Italy shall work to slowly opening up the Blockade and demobilizing the Borders with Yugoslavia (discounting the Provincial Defense Forces who are situated on said border), though these efforts are entirely dependent on Yugoslavia making good on the promises it signed up to. The terms of the Ultimatum which evolved into a multi-proposal treaty to which Yugoslavia agreed are as follows :

- Yugoslavia remove from its territory all Nuclear Weapons and permit independent observers to confirm that fact (Italy recommends EU Observers)

- Yugoslavia signs a Treaty foregoing the right to develop Nuclear Weapons, and pledging not to permit their stationing on Yugoslav territory

- Yugoslavia either scrap or return all Ballistic Missiles in its possession

- Italy & Slovenia shall recognize the current borders of Yugoslavia. (Albania + Croatia refusing to do so)

- Yugoslavia shall recognize the independence of Slovenia and Western Croatia.

- Yugoslavia shall limit the size of it navy to a total of 50,000 in tonnage (INCLUDING River flotilla) or 50 Vessels total

- limitation of 200,000 Personnel on the Yugoslav Armed Forces

- The Adriatic Community shall commit to a non aggression pact with Yugoslavia

* The contents of the Treaty are up for negotiation in the coming years, pending possible improvement of relations

ÉLYSÉE PALACE: PRESIDENT MACRON MARKS 10 YEARS IN POWER WITH ANNUAL PARLIAMENTARY ADDRESS

[sub]VTH REPUBLIC | PARIS, 2027 [/sub][/list]

[sub]| HELM OF DÈMOCRATIE, PALAIS DE L’ELYSÉE - | President Emmanuel Macron has once again ordered Parliament to convene at the Palace of Versailles where he marked his 10th year in the presidency with a speech of gratitude and optimism for the French Republic:[/sub]

[sub]President Macron: "Bonjour monsieurs and madames. Today we not only celebrate another year of government, but 10 full years of En Marche! Throughout my tenure as president, I have come to realize the importance of good governance even more. Together, through our policies and shared agenda, we have accomplished so much in the span of 10 years. As Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin put it, 'we have accomplished in 10 years what would have taken others 20.' We have successfully revitalized our economy and increased our competitiveness in the global markets. Through the Bpifrance public investment bank we have built several large eco-friendly towers throughout France's major cities. Plans for more of these innovative projects are already underway in Paris and Marseilles. It is also worth noting that our call to arms in the face tyranny was answered by our now booming military industrial complex. New and reliable equipment to fight France's future wars has fallen into the hands of our highly trained and skilled troops. Alongside our allies, we have time and time again triumphed in the face of tyranny and extremism. Indeed we have torn down bridges only to build new ones through our prestigious diplomatic clout. My friends, I could go without saying that our 'Five Year Plan' is complete and we have been successful on all fronts. While recent tensions between our ally Italy and Yugoslavia made quite a stir in global and European affairs, which had us all on the edge of our seats; the powers of good prevailed in the face of evil once more and with Germany leading negotiations between Rome and Belgrade, France willingly sent diplomats to Moscow where they reached a reassuring agreement. All these great things have been done with your cooperation. This elected body which represents France and it's people knows no bounds when it comes to the success of our great nation. I look forward to the remaining 4 years left in my tenure and what we will continue to achieve in that time frame and beyond. Merci....merci to you all! VIVE LA RÉPUBLIQUE! VIVE LA FRANCE! VIVE LA FRANCE!" .....[AUDIBLE APPLAUSE AND CHEERING]....[/sub]

[sub] The speech was aired on live television through France's many media outlets which also reported a surge in support for President Macron. Following the President's speech, the members of parliament and government ministers attended the President's Ball also held at the Palace of Versailles. | [/sub]

FINNISH FOREIGN MINISTRY SPEAKS ON RECENT EVENTS IN EUROPE

[list][sup]A CRISIS AVERTED

FINLAND—SPRING 2027[/sup][/list]

The lucky aversion of conflict in Europe between Italy and Yugoslavia—and, presumably, the powers allied to both states—was neither particularly good nor particularly bad for the Finnish Foreign Ministry. Indeed, a war would have disrupted the economic balance of Europe, but it also would have overshadowed the Finnish annexation of the Finnmark Plateau that had occurred in late 2025. Finland could have found itself a bastion of peace in a comparatively violent continent, and such a status was more than acceptable to the beleaguered Finnish government. However, now committed to European peace, the Karvonen presidency could not mourn the bloodless solution found for the Italo-Yugoslav conflict. It issued a statement of congratulations via the Foreign Ministry, appreciative of the "diplomatic maturity" of the parties involved in ending the crisis. It additionally issued a statement of congratulations for the ten-year anniversary of President Macron's rule in France, owing to Macron's rapprochement with Finnish President Alvi Karvonen earlier in the year.

[list][pre]| OPPOSITION LEADER MERAL AKSENER ADVOCATES FOR KURDISH AUTONOMY, EASING OF AUTHORITARIAN GOVERNMENT CONTROLS ON MEDIA[/pre][/list]

[sub]The substantial Kurdish minority in Turkey, accounting for over 20% of Turkey's population and centered around the Republic's southern and southeastern areas, has been for many decades neglected and oppressed by decades of strong-armed Turkish militaristic leadership dating back to the reign of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the Republic of Turkey's first president and the nation's founding father. When the PKK, a Kurdish radical communist group, sprung in the 1970s and launched an armed insurgency against the Turkish Government, a fight which lasts to this day began. Tensions between Turkey and the Kurds have been commonplace since the 70s, with no Turkish president since then making any effort whatsoever to ease tensions and grant autonomy to the Kurds, which has been a common wish among the Turkish minority group. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan took things to the next level when he suspended and prohibited the use of the Kurdish language in schools and in business, and increased restrictions on Kurds.[/sub]

[sub]On the other hand, Meral Aksener was a moderate in terms of dealing with the Kurds. A long-time opposition leader and prominent pro-democracy and anti-Erdogan politician on the Turkish political scene, Aksener has had a history of voting and advocating in favor of increased autonomy and freedom for the Kurds. In 2023 and 2024, she pushed, unsuccessfully, legislation to lift the government ban on the use of the Kurdish language and in 2026 she attempted, unsuccessfully once more, to push through legislation to invest $850 million dollars into Kurdish rural areas and establish a Kurdish autonomous province in regions which are more than 50% Kurdish. In early 2027, when asked on why she supported the cause of the Kurds so much even amidst the PKK's continued insurgency against the Turkish Government, Aksener stated that she related to and understood the Kurdish people. "They are as human and as Turkish as we are. They deserve the same rights as ordinary Turks'.[/sub]

[sub]On May 21, 2027, Aksener announced at a press conference at the Grand Parliament Building in Ankara that she will be formally submitting to the Grand National Assembly with the endorsement of over eighteen opposition Assemblymen the Kurdish Rights Act and the Media Freedoms Act, both of which aims to revoke many executive directives issued by President Erdogan directed at limiting the freedoms of the Kurds and enacting laws to legalize press censorship in order to ensure that Erdogan remains in power and unstable elements don't make their way into Turkey. Aksener to the dismay of the AKP, Erdogan's political party founded in 2001, published the full text of the Kurdish Rights Act and the Media Freedoms Act on major social media platforms worldwide to demonstrate that the bill was truly pro-democracy and that opposition to it would mean opposing democracy. Social media in Turkey went into a flurry after the full texts of both pieces of legislation were taken down by Turkish authorities for 'illegal content'. The Kurdish Rights Act aims to overturn Erdogan's ban on the use of the Kurdish language and the establishment of a Turkish Junior Bill of Rights Proclamation, which declares that all minority groups within Turkey regardless of size and population deserve equal rights to that of the Turkish people. The Media Freedoms Act on the other hand aims to lift the strong media restrictions implemented by the Turkish Government during crackdowns against the opposition under the guise of anti-terrorism acts.

Republic of Turkey - Islamic Jamahiriyah Rapprochement Summit Ends with Success

الجمهورية التركية - قمة التقارب بين الجماهيرية الإسلامية تنتهي بنجاح

[sub]Caliph Abdullah bin al-Hussein Abdulrahman I | ABU DHABI, 2027 [/sub][/list]

[sub]| DAWLAT ALAITIHAD LIL'UMAT AL'IISLAMIA - ادولة الاتحاد للأمة الإسلامية |[/sub]

Hosted at the Prime Minister's Mansion in Tehran, Paseo, foreign representative delegations from The Islamic Jamahiriyah of Alzarikstan and The Republic of New Provenance met to discuss the current growing security dilemma between Abu Dhabi and Ankara in the Middle East. Seeking to end tensions to preserve the currently built status quo, the Republic of Turkey and the Caliphate of the USIN came to agree on a few terms that would seek to remedy and diminish tensions. Although the Arabian delegation indicated during the meeting that it will take time for relations to heal between the two countries, a series of agreements have been made to ensure the reconciliation process proceeded further:

[list][pre]- - - Formal written agreement to ease tensions between Turkey and the Caliphate

- - - Turkish renouncing of statements indirectly or directly aimed at the Caliphate

- - - Agreement to increase bilateral communication between Abu Dhabi and Ankara to supplement de-escalation of tensions

- - - Gradual increase in imports and exports; return of investments

- - - Establishing cultural exchange programs and cooperation

- - - Ankara to invest $300 million into Somaliland development & $400 million into Yemen development

- - - Caliphate to invest $275 million into Turkish industries[/pre][/list]

Upon hearing the conclusion of successful negotiations, the Caliph in Abu Dhabi demonstrated his satisfaction for the beginnings of a de-escalation period in the region. Moreover, the Caliph further explained that although he is pleased with the agreements, relations are still sensitive with Ankara and will need to take time to heal and strengthen.

[sub]Operation London Bridge[/sub][/list]

WINDSOR CASTLE, BERKSHIRE, Canovia — MORNING

[sub]The morning was young, with the birds chirping and the Queen’s Piper playing a medley on his bagpipes underneath Her Majesty’s window. Within the halls of Windsor Castle, several of the royal staff would shuffle their way to their positions, preparing themselves for the day’s activity. Within Her Majesty’s bedchamber, the room was dark, with the rays of sunlight attempting to pierce through the curtains. The clock within the room read 9:03 AM — three minutes past Her Majesty’s wake up time. With three slight knocks on the door, Her Majesty’s Private Secretary would open the door, waking the Queen to prepare her for the day’s events.[/sub]

[list]SIR EDWARD YOUNG, Private Secretary: [sub]”Good morning Your Majesty. It’s three past nine. I am terribly sorry for the late start.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]Opening the curtain to allow the natural light to fill the room, Sir Edward Young would turn around towards Her Majesty. Seeing Her Majesty not responding, the private secretary would get closer to Her Majesty in another attempt to wake her up.[/sub]

[list]SIR EDWARD YOUNG, Private Secretary: [sub]”Your Majesty, it’s time to awake. The piper this morning is playing quite the tune.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]Watching Her Majesty still not respond — Sir Edward Young would approach Her Majesty. Doing the unorthodox thing, Sir Edward Young would slightly tap Her Majesty several times. Still without a response, he would lift her hand to feel a pulse. In disbelief, he would gentle place Her Majesty’s hand on her chest, looking at her for a few seconds before uttering words to himself.[/sub]

[list]SIR EDWARD YOUNG, Private Secretary: [sub]”Dear God… the day has come… London Bridge is down…[/sub][/list]

[sub]Walking out the room, the private secretary informed the staff to not enter the room, creating the excuse that Her Majesty needed some “privacy.” Rushing to his office, Sir Edward Young would call Downing Street to deliver the news of Her Majesty’s death.[/sub]

[list]SIR EDWARD YOUNG, Private Secretary: [sub]”Hello, Prime Minister? This is Her Majesty’s Private Secretary. I regret to inform you that London Bridge is down.”[/sub]

[list]10 DOWNING STREET, WESTMINSTER, LONDON, Canovia — MORNING[/list]

[sub]As Prime Minister Rishi Sunak received the news of Her Majesty’s death, Operation London Bridge was to commence. Not since the days of Winston Churchill in 1952 when King George VI died, Rishi Sunak would be the first Prime Minister in 75 years to handle the delicate situation. As Her Majesty was an influential and historical figure, the news of her death would no doubt create waves in the international community. With Operation London Bridge in progress, the Prime Minister would alert the media. With portraits of Her Majesty on the screens of millions, the BBC would begin the announcement.[/sub]

[list]ROB HUMPHREY, BBC Presenter: [sub]”This is BBC News. It is with the greatest sorrow that we deliver this message. At 9:06 AM GMT, we received news that Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Commonwealth realm has passed away. As a nation, we are now in a state of mourning…”[/sub][/list]

[sub]The broadcast was broadcasted in various languages such as French, Spanish, German, Portuguese and other worldwide languages. As the United Kingdom went into a period of mourning, Charles, Prince of Wales would now become the next King of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth realm.[/sub]

[list]RISHI SUNAK, Prime Minister: [sub]”Today is a day unlike any other. Today is not a day of political fighting or anything of that nature. Today we lost a symbol of our nation. This tragic news affects all of us one way or another. Her Majesty was a respected woman throughout the world, serving this country with great purpose. Her 75 years of service is extraordinary — living through the world’s most historic events. Her service to this country and the world shall not be forgotten in the slightest. Whether you support the monarch or oppose it, we must put our differences aside and come together in a time of mourning. It is the least we can do to show our respects to the Royal Family […]”[/sub][/list]

PLANS FOR HER MAJESTY’s DEATH:

[sub]• The Accession Council shall meet at St. James’ Palace to proclaim Charles as the new monarch.[/sub]

[sub]• MPs to swear allegiance to the new monarch.[/sub]

[sub]• Charles will receive a motion of condolence at Westminster Hall and tour the United Kingdom.[/sub]

[sub]• Queen Elizabeth’s coffin will be transported by Royal Train to St. Pancras Railway Station where the PM and Cabinet will be waiting.[/sub]

[sub]• State funeral will be held at Westminster Abbey — Her Majesty will be buried at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle.[/sub]

[sub]• 12 days of national mourning.[/sub]

(It was late and hopefully I did it right and I did do a lot of shortcuts but here is the RP I dreaded on making because I just don’t want her to die but she’s 101 so…)

[sub]Born on April 21st, 1926 Princess Elizabeth of York was born to Prince Albert of York and Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon. In December 1936, the Princess of York’s life would change as her father would unexpectedly inherit the throne. A Queen in training, it would be the beginning of a tremendous future for Elizabeth.[/sub]

[sub]”I declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long of short, shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong." — Queen Elizabeth II[/sub]

| COLLECTIVE DEFENSE AND ECONOMIC COUNCIL |

The Fourth World Awakens: The Treaty of Common Defense, Development, and Economic Assistance

____________

[list]June, 2027

From the office of the Foreign Ministry in central Casablanca, Nasser Bourita watched the news feeds on his monitor. He got some details from his Italian counterparts, but he was scarcely more informed than anyone else. He knew nuclear weapons were in play and troops were continuing to mass in the Balkans. More importantly, he knew a line had been crossed. The Soviets were back and so was a re-branded Warsaw Pact. With tensions already raised so dramatically, these Russians might not be so careful as their predecessors. All while the West is as weak and as fractious as ever. Italy alone so far was the linchpin of Western defense. No unified response came from NATO or the EU, though German diplomats were scrambling to avert war. It was arguable if the Cold War had ever really ended, but tensions were back on this rise and the lines were rapidly destabilizing.

But therein lay an opportunity. As an ideological matter, it was more Abderazzak Makri’s idea than Bourita’s or Benkirane’s. But Bourita so far had done the necessary diplomatic engineering. It rarely showed in his Islamo-populist politics, but Makri had a well-developed international vision that never got to materialize in his brief administration. Makri had pushed that agenda behind the scenes since then as Speaker of the National Assembly but had never been publicly vocal about it. Among allied nations and even domestically, the support wasn’t always there. The sentiments which drove Makri’s actions were hard to disagree with, though arguments of impracticality and idealism always cropped up. And of course, alliances in the global south had a long history of failure. Except with Europe standing on a cliff and daring itself to jump, Makri finally had a chance to change this track record.

____________

May, 2027

Over the course of the Yugoslav Nuclear Crisis, Bourita would be in contact with several other nations. The nations all fit a distinct description: not expressly Eastern or Western, what would normally be called Third World nations. But they were either fully developed or developing, and increasingly independent of the squalor and foreign dependency of other Third World nations. They had influence and individualized goals and interests. Makri referred to such nations as The Fourth World. In Makri’s eyes, these nations would remain under Eastern or Western sway so long as they failed to cooperate and coordinate. A lack of will to work together held them back severely. Yet in the fear and anxiety of yet another European crisis, that will was forged.

And so these nations met- by video teleconference amid Ba’athist concerns- to put it into action. Representatives from six nations emerged with a striking announcement: the signing of the Treaty of Common Defense, Development, and Economic Assistance. Officialized by this treaty, authority would now be vested in the Collective Defense and Economic Council. The treaty will serve to integrate economics, promote mutual security, and enhance diplomatic cooperation amongst its member states. It will oppose undue foreign influence on members, advance sovereignty and self-determination, and, above all, give true voice to the formerly downtrodden nations of the global south. In the treaty, CDEC and its members have declared themselves to be advancing 3 founding principles, those being support of national self-determination in government and politics, opposition to foreign interference and influence on members, and promotion of mutual cooperation and collective interest.

Signatory States to the Treaty would be:

The Republic of Maghreb ( Asharken)

The Union-State of Islamic Nations ( Alzarikstan)

The United Federal Republic of Sudan ( Nileia)

The Empire of Iran ( Paseo)

The Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic ( Asharken)

Observing States to the Treaty would be:

The Unified Emirates of Central Asia and Turkestan ( Central Turan)

With a combined GDP of 8.9 trillion dollars and a total population of 449 million, the CDEC at its founding represents a not-insignificant share of the world. In particular, it wields a commanding share of global oil and natural gas.

The senior body of the CDEC is the Council itself, composed of three members appointed by each member state to represent them. The Council will be empowered to allocate funds, authorize military action under the CDEC banner, and make diplomatic declarations and decisions on behalf of member states. Decisions must pass with a 3/5ths majority to be adopted by the Council. Diplomatic statements, treaties, and decisions require unanimity. Military action requires 3/5th approval, specifically from the possible participant nations. Additionally, the Council can modify its charter and its institutions via unanimous vote.

To administer these actions, the Council will appoint an Executive Committee. A Chairman will be appointed to act as an administrator and spokesperson for the CDEC. It will have Secretaries and Departments for the following areas: Defense and Security, Diplomacy and Foreign Relations, Investment and Economic Development, as well as Energy and Natural Resources.

[spoiler=Composition of the Executive Committee]

___

Chairman of the Executive Committee: It will be the face of the CDEC, acting as administrator and spokesman. It will coordinate Council activities and represent the Council on the international stage. Will be appointed to 3-year terms, repeatable at the behest of the Council.

Department of Defense and Security: It will oversee military-related operations of the Council, including exercises, training, coordination, integration, and joint operations. They will also liaise between the Council and the Joint Defense Command.

Department of Diplomacy and Foreign Relations: It will oversee the diplomatic efforts of the Council, including diplomatic efforts between the Council and foreign nations or organizations. It will also coordinate diplomatic efforts and relations between member states.

Department of Investment and Economic Development: It will oversee Council economic initiatives, both between member states and between foreign powers. This includes programs, projects, initiatives, and negotiations or agreements.

Department of Energy and Natural Resources: It will coordinate the exploitation of natural resources amongst members as well as energy efforts. This includes the utilization of CDEC’s fossil fuel resources as well as its clean energy capacity.

___

[/spoiler]

To advise and assist the Council and Executive Committee, a Common Assembly of the Council will be appointed. Assemblyman will be appointed proportionally to the national population of each member, with one seat per 3 million citizens. The Assembly will not make decisions, rather it will make proposals and opinions to inform the Council and Executive Committee.

Extending to the realm of defense is Mutual Defense Agreement. It stipulates that an attack on one Agreement member would qualify as an attack on them all. Notably, this clause of the Treaty is optional to prospective member states. The Agreement creates the Joint Defense Command, composed of representatives from each member nation's military. It will oversee training exercises, coordination, integration, and development of member states’ militaries. JDC can be vested with operational authority by the Council for military actions. As of now, all full signatory nations are members of the Defense Agreement.

Financing for the CDEC will be done on a voluntary basis. Members will not be required to put forth any set amount or portion of government spending but can donate as much as they feel is right. CDEC spending is not meant to then be proportional to what a member contributes but is expected to be spent impartially for the benefit of all members. The Council is the only body given authority to allocate those funds, giving any bodies under it discretionary authority.

Notably, a specific place has been made for the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic. Given its size of just over a million citizens, it is disproportionately small compared to other members. It is already bound to Maghreb via their treaties and is financially and diplomatically dependent on its larger neighbor. For that reason, and to avoid giving undue influence to any one member, SADR will relinquish its voting rights in all binding situations. SADR representatives will still appear in the Common Assembly and in the Joint Defense Command. But for all intents and purposes, SADR has relinquished its representation to Maghreb.

At the first convening of the Council, Maghrebi diplomat Ramtane Lamamra was selected to be Chairman of the Executive Committee. Addressing the Council and the world, Lamamra gave a brief statement:

”For a great many years, the world has been bilaterally divided. East and West carved the world in two and danced over their spoils. Even as decolonization took place, little changed for many countries. Colonies were replaced with rentier states and proxies. Foreign forces and corporations continued to extend control over the Third World. While the back and forth of international competition between East and West has not ended, the Third World has. Through our own efforts, we have built nations and societies. We have built prosperity and integrity, forging our own paths. We have moved past impoverished failed states, victims of exploitation and theft. But we too have fallen victim. Victim to greed, to infighting, to strife. Yet we are capable of more! We have the future of the world in our hands, and if we are to accomplish this, we must be more. We must cooperate, we must communicate, we must set aside our petty squabbles and speak in one voice!

The events in Europe have proven something. They have proven that the powers and institutions we have relied on may not be so reliable any longer. And where they cannot maintain security and stability, we must act ourselves. For our benefit. For our safety. For our prosperity. We will promote the right of all members to determine their own government and society. We will oppose the interference of foreign powers and actors, and through this, build cooperation based on mutual trust and collective interest. Such is the Collective Defense and Economic Council. Such is the Fourth World.”[/list]

[list][sup]Double The Trouble? British Ticket Holders To Pay Extra For Airfares! Meanwhile, The Trem de Alta Velocidade Will Include Buenos Aires and Montivideu![/sup][/list]

| The Queen is dead, long live the King. It has been several days since the death of the long reigning monarch of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (Canovia). A truly sad day has befallen the planet, especially sad for Brazil's air industry which now has to cope with the influx of British ticket holders wishing to visit their homeland in the wake of the death of their monarch. British nationals in Brazil make up the 37th largest group in the South American nation. The Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística officially recognizes 11,453 nationals residing in Brazil. However, that initial figure can be deceiving. In total, Brazil is hosting just over 154,586 British holiday travelers and over 800 thousand Brazilians of British heritage who could possibly attempt to make their way to the United Kingdom in the aftermath of Queen Elizabeth II's demise. The Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil has informed the government that it cannot cope with the sudden influx of potential British travelers. In response, the price of tickets going to the Untied Kingdom will be raised from 1,125 dollars (US) to 2,250 dollars. it is the hope of the Brazilian government that the increased ticket fare will dissuade droves of British nationals and people of British heritage alike from overwhelming the transit system but also pay for potential congestion that could arise due to the unexpected death of the British Monarch. President Flavio Bolsonaro made a quick comment stating that "Although unfortunate that it has come to this, I'm sure our friends across the ocean will understand the plight of Brazil." |

| Meanwhile, the intercity transit system spanning from Campinas to Rio de Janeiro has proven a great success since its opening back in 2025. The network, which at present includes 10 stops along Brazil's most densely populated urban centers, has greatly reduced travel time for its passengers who can now more efficiently than ever, go about their daily business and keep modern Brazil's metropolises running. In addition to intercity travel, the network links São Paulo International Airport, Viracopos International Airport, and the Galeão International Airport, adding to the overall efficiency of commuter travel. With the success of the network going on its third year in operation, the time has finally come to expand the system. The Brazilian (Kewtpuff) government has recently concluded talks with their Argentine (Victoria Harbor) counterparts on linking Buenos Aires via Montevideu, thus connecting the southern cone with Brazil. 173 miles of track will be needed between Montevideu and Buenos Aires, just under 1/3rd of the current network size of just over 300 miles. It is expected that the project will take several years to complete. Both nations are aiming for a 2031 deadline. With a top speed of 220 miles per hour, the service could essentially allow a person to board in Sao Paulo and arrive in just under 6 hours in Buenos Aires. For middle income families, this could prove a cost effective alternative to air travel. |

A ghost from the past has come to haunt this RMB one final time

Hello, some of you may remember me and some might not, that does not matter. My name is CA, but some know me by Solomon, my real name. I used to be an active member of this community, and while I left on a sour note and eventually quit this game altogether, I have come to attempt to rectify it somewhat. I will admit I do stalk this message board from time to time to see how you all are still holding up. It does pain me to see NationStates slowly dying from usage, as I made many friends here and spent a lot of my written talent on this very message board. Not only that, but some of the most creative RP and historical fantasy I've ever seen was written here by many of you and many who have ceased to exist. It hurts to see something I devoted days of my life to slowly fade, as I have been hit with rough times recently myself. Now, as a grown person with a job and a busy life, I come back to spread some words of advice.

I recently was diagnosed with severe anxiety-induced depression. It has not been a good run recently but I am making it. Though, I did not come here to garner support or compassion, but rather to give some advice. This diagnosis has moved me to revisit the things in my past that made me happy, which included NationStates. While re-visitng this site, I read through some of my archived telegrams, and almost all of them were enormously kind paragraphs and messages from people who used this board, and some that still do. Complete strangers on the internet showed compassion not only for me as a person, but for the creativity I was also expressing here on this RMB. So, I come to return that. Keep to your goals and what [I]you[/I] are interested in. The creativity that still somehow spurs from this online messaging board is wonderful to see. If you use forum view and go back, this board has been creating similar creativity for almost a decade. All of you are amazing writers and creative thinkers, and I thank all of you for the time that you spent with me, a random kid at the time, also spurring my own imagination. I know some of you might not have the best opinion of me, but you all are some of the most creative people I've met too, or actually pretty much are. So, my advice is to continue it. Continue your dreams, your values, your inspiration. Do not let the greed-obsessed world we live in take down those dreams and inspirations. Continue it here even. While this site may not produce any actual consumable value, it does produce mental and emotional value for those who still participate. You all are deserving of not only love and compassion, but praise and celebration. Continue to do the little RPs of alternate histories and nations, because the little happiness you gain here can stay with you forever. It has with me.

I do love all the COL old guard, some of you especially (you know who you are). Thank you all for the wonderful memories, I will continue to ghost-stalk this board and enjoy the wonderful writing you all produce. Solidarity forever.

[sub]| HELM OF SÈCURITÈ, MINISTÈRE DES FORCES ARMÉES - | Per agreement with the Eurasian Federation, France is to withdraw effective immediately half of it's standing troop force in Eastern Europe along with all land based ballistic missiles present in that theater. This comes after the Eurasian Soviets held up their end of the bargain to withdraw their nuclear weapons from Yugoslavia. An agreement which was made in secret closed door meetings which took place last month in Moscow between Eurasian and French military leaders. The 100,000 strong 3r Armoured Corps stationed throughout Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, and the Baltic States is to be downsized to a more manageable and agreeable 50,000 troops. It is hoped that this agreement between Eastern and Western powers will preserve peace and provide a sense of relief to the people of Europe. | [/sub]

[list][pre]| THE REPUBLIC OF TURKEY PURSUES A 'FRIENDS-WITH-ALL' FOREIGN POLICY IN THE POST-YUGOSLAV MISSILE CRISIS WORLD[/pre][/list]

[sub]In the post-Yugoslav Missile Crisis world, the Turkish Government now sees its neighbors through a different lens. Before the crisis, the Turkish Government under Recep Tayyip Erdogan was led to believe that Turkey was fully and completely safe from outside threats even amid tensions with the Abdulrahman Caliphate in the south and the alienating of the Eurasian Federation of Soviet States in the north. At the time many had believed that the only security Turkey needed to remain stable was that from NATO, the European Union, and the Western World. However, this theory was proven wrong when the world stood on the brink of nuclear war in the Adriatic, between Yugoslavia and Italy, both relatively geographically close to Turkey's major cities of Istanbul and Izmir, the former in particular. In the post-crisis world, the Turkish Foreign Ministry set out to reorganize Turkey's outdated foreign policy.[/sub]

[sub]On June 4, 2027, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu delivered a memorandum to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his cabinet, outlining what he and the Foreign Ministry believed to be Turkey's best course of action in terms of a new foreign policy in the post-Yugoslav Missile Crisis world. The memorandum, which would come to be called as the Çavuşoğlu Memorandum, would go on to shape Turkey's foreign policy for months and maybe even years to come. The memorandum recommended that President Erdogan re-orient Turkey's foreign policy from a confrontational nationalistic stance to a 'friends-with-all' policy which aims to establish as friendly relations as possible with most if not all of Turkey's neighbors, listing Russia, Iran, the Caliphate, Syria and Maghreb in particular. The memorandum stated that while Turkey was 'fully capable and ready' to defend itself from foreign intruders or even a coalition of enemy states, 'friendly relations with Turkey's neighbors and nations deemed important to ensuring Turkish sovereignty and freedom must be pursued through equal and fair agreements with other parties'.[/sub]

[sub]President Recep Tayyip Erdogan brought the new policy before the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, which approved the proposal 591-9. Days later, the Foreign Ministry confirmed that talks with Russia and France were planned or were already underway.[/sub]

PHASE TWO OF NEW CLARK CITY'S CONSTRUCTION BEGINS LED BY PARAMERICAN COMPANY KOHN PEDERSEN FOX AND WITH FOREIGN INVESTMENTS

Philippine President Benigno Aquino III held a speech in the Philippines' bustling New Clark City, now home to over 120,000 Filipinos, where he announced the start of construction on Phase Two of New Clark City's development, led by the Paramerican company Kohn Pedersen Fox and with investments from the Empire of Japan and the Kingdom of Korea. President Aquino stated that phase two would be more 'internationalized' compared to phase one, which started in 2018 and officially opened to the public in 2023, in the manner that foreign investments will now cover the bulk of the expense for the ambitious project in order to reduce the heavy economic burden on the Philippine Government in Manila. On that same day President Aquino broke ground on the construction of the new Ninoy Aquino Avenue, which will go through the city, linking it to the NLEX superhighway which snakes southward to Metro Manila, the current capital.

President Aquino also revealed that Korea's Lotte Group, a group of over 90 businesses, will be investing $2 billion and possibly more into the project, with major Korean companies Samsung and Hyundai also participating in the project to lend smart technology support to the New Clark City project. The Empire of Japan's Offshore Development Assistance (ODA) program will also be investing $3 billion and lending a $1 billion loan, totaling $4 billion worth of funds from the Japanese allocated for New Clark City. The Paramericans are also involved in the program, albeit not financially, but instead through Kohn Pedersen Fox, an architectural firm which designed the smart city of Songdo in Korea as part of an Incheon free trade zone.

New Clark City's phase two of development is expected to consist of a large expansion of the currently existing city and the establishment of additional green residential zones and more park and green space to further clean up the area and make it more environmentally-friendly. Phase Two is considerably smaller compared to Phase One, which was completed in 2026 with the start of the moving of government operations to the city, but is considered by many to be the more influential and important of the two phases as it includes the process of implementing smart technology all over the city to monitor crime and traffic in order to prevent serious congestion like is common in the current capital.

While President Aquino remains opposed to moving the center of government to New Clark, over 70 kilometers north of the current metropolis of Manila and its surrounding cities, the legislative body of the Philippines, the Congress of the Republic of the Philippines, are currently debating legislation to approve the moving of its seat to New Clark while the executive and legislative remain in the country's largest metropolis and the most densely populated city on the planet.

[list][pre]| A SUMMARY OF TURKISH FOREIGN DIPLOMATIC TALKS WITH THE EURASIAN FEDERATION OF SOVIET STATES[/pre][/list]

[sub]Following a meeting between Sergey Lavrov, Russia's Foreign Minister, and Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, Turkey's Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Turkey (MoFA Turkiye) released a formal public statement announcing the success of diplomatic reconciliation talks between the Republic of Turkey and the Eurasian Federation of Soviet States, widely regarded in the country as one of the prime instigators behind the Yugoslav Missile Crisis which temporarily placed Istanbul in a state of extreme panic. The announcement was met with mixed emotions, with those in Istanbul and other major cities, as well as in the eastern areas of Turkey, voicing their approval for the normalization of relations between Russia and Turkey, while hardline nationalists and pro-Western diplomats criticizing the move as Turkey surrendering its power in the Black Sea. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan formally denied these accusations and emphasized the need for friendly relations between Russia and Turkey. President Erdogan also, importantly, stated and affirmed that the relationship between Ankara and Moscow 'will not in any way' affect Turkey's relations with the West or with the Abdulrahman Caliphate and Iran. The summary of the agreements reached are below:[/sub]

[list][list][pre]- Expansion of diplomatic relations

- - - Bilateral diplomatic reconciliation agreement

- - - Dialing down of bilateral tensions

- Economic cooperation

- - - Agreement to expand bilateral imports and exports

- - - Russian investments into Turkey, particularly into the tourism and transportation industries[/pre][/list][/list]

| GRAND FINAL WORLDVISION SONG CONTEST |

[sub]13th of January, 2027, LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM[/sub]

| THROUGH MUSIC WE CONNECT, the 72nd Worldvision Song Contest has taken place in London after a two year break. The return of the contest brought 310.1 Million viewers for the first two Semi-Finals. However, it was the epic grand final that brought over 443.5 Million viewers, making it the most watched event of 2027. The Grand Final was filled with beautiful interval acts showcasing and paying homage to the past winners of Worldvision. The opening act was controversial as it was the Afghan Diaspora that sent their own band to play, opening the event and calling for human rights around the world. The Grand Final had an incident, however, with the Paramerican entry being interrupted by an angry man waving a flag of the new Afghan regime. The Paramerican performer, Lizzo, used the opportunity to do a second performance at the end of the Grand Final. |

[sub]13th of January, 2027, LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM[/sub]

| THROUGH MUSIC WE CONNECT, the 72nd Worldvision Song Contest has taken place in London after a two year break. The return of the contest brought 310.1 Million viewers for the first two Semi-Finals. However, it was the epic grand final that brought over 443.5 Million viewers, making it the most watched event of 2027. The Grand Final was filled with beautiful interval acts showcasing and paying homage to the past winners of Worldvision. The opening act was controversial as it was the Afghan Diaspora that sent their own band to play, opening the event and calling for human rights around the world. The Grand Final had an incident, however, with the Paramerican entry being interrupted by an angry man waving a flag of the new Afghan regime. The Paramerican performer, Lizzo, used the opportunity to do a second performance at the end of the Grand Final. |

2027년 06월|June 2027[/list]

| [sub]The Korean broadcaster KBS has released more details for Worldvision 2028, the broadcaster announced that the contest would be hosted the City of Busan, the city offers a wide range of transport connections include hop flights to Japan and China. KBS is apparently weighing up on a choice of two stadiums; the Busan Asiad Main Stadium which hosted the 2002 World Cup; or the Sajik Arena which has a smaller capacity but would require less structural work for hosting WorldVision.[/sub] |

| [sub]KBS also announced they intend to work with SBS once again to host Road to Kingdom to select Korea's entry for the contest and more details would be released before the contest returns in November of this year. No details on hosts have been released but rumours are circulating about a dozen different possible hosts including Kang Daniel himself. KBS will no doubt release more details in due course.[/sub] |

[sup]Kishida Administration Confirms Japan-US Summit Earlier This Month[/sup][list]

| [sub]Today, June 4, 2027, Mr. Fumio Kishida, Prime Minister of Japan, made a 20-minute call with the President of the United States of Paramerica, Joseph R. Biden Jr., just to talk about plans for a summit between Washington, D.C. & Tokyo, this had already been discussed in April of this year, but no official response was given by Tokyo at this summit — Kishida after a phone call with the Biden White House, gave a press conference on the exact same day, confirming that the plans are being implemented for the Japan-US Summit on June 11, 2027. “Tokyo’s goal will be to maintain excellent diplomatic relations with Washington for a free and open Indo-Pacific,” Kishida told reporters. “The US will defend Tokyo and Japan also has the same goal of defending its main and greatest ally, Washington, D.C.,” added Kishida, commenting on the importance of the US-Japan Mutual Security Cooperation Treaty, also known by many as the US-Japan Security Treaty.[/sub] |

| [sub]Although relations between Tokyo and Seoul are on a “friendly level”, caution is essential, Tokyo will definitely not be fooled again by Seoul’s intentions, but those concerns are being pushed aside by the Tokyo Government — for Fumio Kishida, the Former Minister of Foreign Affairs, who turned 70 this year, it is extremely important that relations between Tokyo and Seoul be strengthened for an Asia without wars and that only peace is established. Kishida is also known as a politician with a “consensus builder” image, his hand-picked new cabinet made up of allies of Former Prime Minister Abe and Former Finance Minister Taro Aso, both major influencers of Japanese politics. Mr. Nobuo Kishi, who became Deputy Prime Minister under Suga Administration, is now Minister of Defense, who succeeded Tomomi Inada and Mr. Toshimitsu Motegi, remaining as Minister of Foreign Affairs to continue Abe and Suga’s goal, now it’s Kishida’s turn, who aims precisely to strengthen ties with the US and expand security ties with Washington, D.C. and maintain the good diplomatic relations that Former Prime Minister Suga built with Beijing.[/sub] |

| [sub]Some hope that this concept of the new Japan, which will also serve to further strengthen relations with more countries, will include further deepening with the IPDC. Many wonder if the Empire of Japan will join the IPDC, and the answer to those questions, according to Tokyo, is “no” — Kishida also commented on this during the press conference. “There are state secrets around military issues that Tokyo will not show to any other country,” Kishida told reporters.[/sub] |[list]

At the age of 49 now, he was starting to gain small wrinkles in the outside corners of his eyes, however his hair remained untainted and his energy was as great as ever.

WINDSOR CASTLE, BERKSHIRE, Canovia — MORNING

[sub]The morning was young, with the birds chirping and the Queen’s Piper playing a medley on his bagpipes underneath Her Majesty’s window. Within the halls of Windsor Castle, several of the royal staff would shuffle their way to their positions, preparing themselves for the day’s activity. Within Her Majesty’s bedchamber, the room was dark, with the rays of sunlight attempting to pierce through the curtains. The clock within the room read 9:03 AM — three minutes past Her Majesty’s wake up time. With three slight knocks on the door, Her Majesty’s Private Secretary would open the door, waking the Queen to prepare her for the day’s events.[/sub]

[list]SIR EDWARD YOUNG, Private Secretary: [sub]”Good morning Your Majesty. It’s three past nine. I am terribly sorry for the late start.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]Opening the curtain to allow the natural light to fill the room, Sir Edward Young would turn around towards Her Majesty. Seeing Her Majesty not responding, the private secretary would get closer to Her Majesty in another attempt to wake her up.[/sub]

[list]SIR EDWARD YOUNG, Private Secretary: [sub]”Your Majesty, it’s time to awake. The piper this morning is playing quite the tune.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]Watching Her Majesty still not respond — Sir Edward Young would approach Her Majesty. Doing the unorthodox thing, Sir Edward Young would slightly tap Her Majesty several times. Still without a response, he would lift her hand to feel a pulse. In disbelief, he would gentle place Her Majesty’s hand on her chest, looking at her for a few seconds before uttering words to himself.[/sub]

[list]SIR EDWARD YOUNG, Private Secretary: [sub]”Dear God… the day has come… London Bridge is down…[/sub][/list]

[sub]Walking out the room, the private secretary informed the staff to not enter the room, creating the excuse that Her Majesty needed some “privacy.” Rushing to his office, Sir Edward Young would call Downing Street to deliver the news of Her Majesty’s death.[/sub]

[sub]As Prime Minister Rishi Sunak received the news of Her Majesty’s death, Operation London Bridge was to commence. Not since the days of Winston Churchill in 1952 when King George VI died, Rishi Sunak would be the first Prime Minister in 75 years to handle the delicate situation. As Her Majesty was an influential and historical figure, the news of her death would no doubt create waves in the international community. With Operation London Bridge in progress, the Prime Minister would alert the media. With portraits of Her Majesty on the screens of millions, the BBC would begin the announcement.[/sub]

[list]ROB HUMPHREY, BBC Presenter: [sub]”This is BBC News. It is with the greatest sorrow that we deliver this message.

As a nation, we are now in a state of mourning…”[/sub][/list]

[sub]The broadcast was broadcasted in various languages such as French, Spanish, German, Portuguese and other worldwide languages. As the United Kingdom went into a period of mourning, Charles, Prince of Wales would now become the next King of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth realm.[/sub]

Her 75 years of service is extraordinary — living through the world’s most historic events. Her service to this country and the world shall not be forgotten in the slightest. Whether you support the monarch or oppose it, we must put our differences aside and come together in a time of mourning. It is the least we can do to show our respects to the Royal Family […]”[/sub][/list]

PLANS FOR HER MAJESTY’s DEATH:

[sub]• MPs to swear allegiance to the new monarch.[/sub]

INDONESIAN DISPATCH | MINISTRY OF FOREIGN RELATIONS

AGUS HARIMURTI YUDHOYONO, MINISTER OF FOREIGN RELATIONS — "Indonesia sends its deepest condolences to the British Royal family, and the United Kingdom as a whole, the death of Queen Elizabeth II is a heart breaking. We will never forget the Queen's visit to Indonesia in 1974, where she congratulated our democracy and rapid growing economy, and started the link of great relations between the UK and the commonwealth, that still prosper to this day. And from the president himself; 'I am very broken to hear that Queen Elizbeth II has passed away, the queen who mended Indonesian relations after the bitter conflict of the Indonesia–Malaysia confrontation, and opened a new chapter in British-Indonesian relations. She was the most responsible and conscientious British monarch of her time.' Indonesia will remember her as a diligent and vigorous Queen."

QUEEN ELIZABETH II IS GONE; AUSTRALIA COMES TO TERMS WITH THE END OF AN ERA

[sub]A Tumultuous Discussion Awaits | June 2027

[/sub]

[list]

[sub]

At 7:06pm Australian Eastern Standard Time, it was announced that Her Majesty Queen Elizbeth the Second of the United Kingdom, Australia, and all other Commonwealth Realms, had passed away in her sleep. Her Majesty was one-hundred-and-one years aged, and had served seventy-five years as Queen and an exemplary leader far beyond that title. As was the contingency plans prepared in coordination with Operation London Bridge, the broadcast of the announcement of the Queen's death was televised and streamed across the Commonwealth of Australia, and was viewed by millions of shocked Australians. All flags, Sovereign, National, State, and Territorial, were lowered to fly at half-mast, a state of mourning was declared in coordination with London, Parliament was called to meet immediately to pass a condolence motion, and the Prime Minister was issued a prepared speech. The Australian Defence Force was also ordered to coordinate with ceremonies in London including twenty-one gun salutes, and at the conclusion of the Accession Council, the Governor-General would be prepared to unilaterally issue the Australian proclamation of the accession of a new monarch. Awaiting official ceremonies to come, thousands, and perhaps hundreds of thousands of Australians would solemnly attend local ceremonies to honour the Queen and mourn the end of an era.[/sub]

Prime Minister's address from kirribilli House, Sydney, New South Wales[/sub]

[sub]Following the announcement of Her Majesty's death, Prime Minister Josh Frydenberg, wearing black attire as mandated by the state of mourning, would shakily recite the prepared contingency speech that would likely define his character for years to come:[/sub]

[sub]》PRIME MINISTER JOSH FRYDENBERG, Commonwealth of Australia 一 “Good evening Australia. This sad evening, I have the regretful duty to inform you that Her Majesty the Queen has passed away. [...] The remarkable life of Queen Elizabeth the Second, an extraordinary symbol of principled service and honour, respected across the world as a fair figure beyond royal title, a generous and ever-wise leader of the values we all share, shall never be forgotten. [...] In her seventy-five years of reign, Her Majesty the Queen set forth in a modernisation of the monarchy which saw a personal and real connection between the throne and the people not only of the Commonwealth, but of the world, develop. Her impact on our country goes beyond title. It is personal. During her years of service, she undertook countless efforts to advance humanitarian causes across the world, and here in Australia, has most recently contributed to the recovery of communities ravaged by the Bushfire War. [...] On behalf of the Australian people, and the Australian government, I extend our deepest sympathies and condolences to the royal family, to the Commonwealth, and to the millions around the world who were touched by Her Majesty's genuine leadership. As we look forward, we must reflect on our past seventy-five years and the constants that have existed throughout. The Commonwealth joins together and the world joins together in sorrow for the loss of Her Majesty the Queen. Let us also however join in thanks for the great life of her majesty and for all she contributed to Australia and our world. Her contributions to our lives and to the state of our world will always be remembered in great. Thank you. God bless the Queen, and god bless Australia.”[/sub]

[/list]

[sub][/sub]

[sub]

Throughout the course of the evening following the Queen's death and the following twelve days of mourning, countless statements were made in remembrance and thanks of the Queen's life and service. Notable supporters of the monarchy and supporters of an Australian Republic alike set aside politics, at least temporarily, to join the time of mourning. Governor-General John Layton pledged allegiance to King Charles the Third, and pledged he would do 'whatever needed' to assure a peaceful and proper transition. As the twelve day mourning period passed in the United Kingdom and Australia however, the taboo topic of monarchy as an institution in Australia was wildly addressed once more.

[/sub]

[list]

[sub]

The week following the end of the mourning period:

House of Representatives Question Time, Parliament, Canberra[/sub]

[sub]Australian Labor Party leader, Leader of the Opposition, and ever-vocal republic supporter Colin Sampson was immediate in his outright questioning of the monarchy during the first House of Representatives Question Time following the Queen's death and mourning period. Prime Minister Josh Frydenberg, in the past considered a supporter of a republic, had declared in defiance of the general consensus of the Labor Party and republican Coalition MPs that it was “improper” to address such a question:[/sub]

[sub]》Opposition Leader COLIN SAMPSON: “Thanks Mr. Speaker, my question's to the Prime Minister. [...] It has been some time now since Queen Elizabeth II passed away. She was respected by Australians, and was an exemplary leader. Regardless of anyone's views on the monarchy as an institution, we respected Queen Elizabeth as someone above politics and above the discussion of her powers. She was a leader who we trusted, and was so much of a permanent fixture in our country that most Australians were not even living when she ascended the throne. [...] The point is, Australians were attached to Elizabeth II and what she meant to us, but we were not, and are not, attached to what title she held. Surprising to some, like the Prime Minister, I supported the monarchy at that time. But that was then. That was Queen Elizabeth II, and not King Charles. I would like to highlight that in fact, there is a difference between supporting a world-respected person, someone who was completely honest and aware of the bounds, privileges, and duties of a leader — Rather than supporting the overarching powers of the title they hold. Australia made clear it supported the queen in the 1999 referendum, even despite concerns over the validity of the question proposed in the referendum then. The powers of the monarchy do not change; The method and extent in which they are used by the inhabitant of the role do change, however. We were accustomed to Queen Elizabeth II, we respected her, and we had a historical connection to her. That was then. We do not have any modern connection to King Charles III, who I might add has not even visited our country in forty years. Even the first leader[s] invited to Buckingham Palace were not those of the Commonwealth of Nations or even one of His Majesty's Commonwealth Realms, but the President of France. [...] Look, the simple fact is that the question proposed in 1999 mislead us. The question then did not address the difference between the position of the monarchy and the person who holds such title. The leader of such a position is far more important than the position itself, and I can be confident, however, when I speak for those who voted then, myself included, that we did not vote for the monarchy in 1999. We voted for Queen Elizabeth II in 1999. We confirmed her, and she was the popular choice. The question then, was interpreted as whether or not Australia supported the queen herself, and had the question been interpreted as whether we continue to submit ourselves to the excessive powers of an unelected monarchy, it is a certain fact we would have become a republic. We elected Queen Elizabeth II. We did not elect the monarchy and its overarching powers, and we never have been given that choice. The Prime Minister refuses to address the simple fact that polls show a vast majority of Australians disapprove of the position and excessive powers of the monarchy. He also refuses to acknowledge that separately, over 50 percent of Australians disapprove of the inhabitant of such title. So, if a majority of Australians both disapprove of the monarchy and the monarch, why is the question of a popular, democratic referendum so out of consideration to the Prime Minister, Mr. Speaker?” [/sub]

[sub]》Republican and Labor MPs interjecting in agreement[/sub]

[sub]》Speaker of the House TONY CANTERBURY: “Order. The Leader of the Opposition, I'm not sure if there's a need to finish the, uh, question, but if there is, uh—” [/sub]

[sub]》Opposition Leader COLIN SAMPSON: “Yes, there is.” [Shouting:] “We are a popular democracy. A simple majority must just be so as much to warrant a popular referendum. Australians have the choice, to elect or let go of their head of state. That decision must be respected. The Prime Minister must acknowledge popular opinion. It is only fair we do not dismiss, but instead act upon the valid calls for a referendum. Now, thank you.” [/sub]

[sub]》Republican and Labor MPs interjecting in agreement once more[/sub]

[sub]》Speaker of the House TONY CANTERBURY: “Order! We cannot have this collective, loud, shouting! The Leader of the Opposition may resume his seat, his time has ended. And, if he could just adjust his tone to something less than shouting, please, it is disorderly, out of line, and only exacerbates the collective noise in the chamber.”[/sub]

[sub]》Republican and Labor MPs interjecting on Speaker's comment[/sub]

[sub]》Speaker of the House TONY CANTERBURY: “Order! No, no absolutely not! Members on my left must cease. In fact, just before I call the Prime Minister, if you could please wait. The Deputy Leader of the Opposition, member for Corio, will leave under 94a — He's been particularly out of line.” [/sub]

[sub]》Republican and Labor MPs interjecting in opposition to Speaker's order[/sub]

[sub]》Speaker of the House TONY CANTERBURY: “Order! We're not going to have a shouting match today. It is just much too important for such, uh, low behavior. Now...The members for Corangamite, Ballarat will also leave under 94a. Members on my left must cease their interjections. The Prime Minister has the call.” [/sub]

[sub]》Prime Minister Josh Frydenberg: “Thanks Mr. Speaker. I would like to start by saying that I completely hear the Leader of the Opposition. I believe Australians do always have the choice to accomplish what they wish to accomplish through our system, and I believe that when the appropriate time comes, the issue brought up can and will be addressed. Now is not that time however. We have lost a seventy-five year reigning queen, and emotions are high and raw. We risk making a brash mistake if we just fourteen days later hurry into calling a constitutional convention and a subsequent referendum without adequately addressing all the possibilities and consequences of such a decision. The Leader of the Opposition references the 1999 referendum, however may I remind him that that referendum was initiated in a similar rush, and similar bias that the Leader of the Opposition seems to be in right now, and due to the hastiness in which that referendum was formulated, not one voter was satisfied with the question proposed. The last thing Australia needs is to regret the results of a hastily initiated and emotionally charged referendum. [...] Under the proper circumstances, I believe a non-biased constitutional convention shall be called, and through a vigorous yet thorough process, we will address the question. [...]”

In the week following the end of the mourning period and convention of Parliament, Prime Minister Josh Frydenberg's stance on the monarchy was not received well. Sky News Australia Reporter Alex Walton described his views akin to “flippy-floppy and obviously not willing to actually commit”. Several news agencies observed the PM's slipping approval, and at the same time, the striking disapproval of King Charles III and subsequent approval of establishing an Australian Republic. Discussion of such issues would dominate news cycles. Clearly, the so-called 'Taboo Period' did not last long.

[sub]Having been under heat from all political and domestic angles, even those in favor of the monarchy, the Prime Minister would make a statement from his office in Canberra. Though he spoke wisely for four minutes, seemingly the only sentence heard by those watching was the following:[/sub]

[sub]》Prime Minister Josh Frydenberg: “. . . Therefore, I have called a constitutional convention to convene within the next month to address the question as to whether Australia should become a republic . . .”

BALKAN DEFENSE INITIATIVE

JULY 2027

As part of Italy's Balkan Defense Plans to counter both the Soviets and now to a lesser degree the Yugoslavs, the Italian foreign Minister alongside the Minister of Defense announced that Italy had signed an agreement with Danubia to station a total of 10,000 Troops within their Borders on a long term basis, to be stationed within Romania during the next 4 day period. This Force, a total of a Division, will be split into three separate forces each responsible for maintaining large scale Airbases. The intent of these Airbases is to allow rapid deployment of up to 40,000 in around a week in emergency situations such as a breach of Danubian independence and sovereignty (meaning that Italy shall defend Danubia from invaders). Chosen as the three locations for the Bases are the Port City of Varna, the City of Bucharest and the City of Cluj-Napoca. It comes amidst a new push from Rome to tighten relations with Danubia, whose Romanian portions (being part of the latin culture group) had historically retained good relations with Italy alongside Bulgaria.

[list][pre]| TURKEY'S PRESIDENT ERDOGAN VISITS PARIS AND A BRIEF RECAP ON FRANCO-TURKISH RELATIONS[/pre][/list]

[sub]Relations between the Republic of Turkey and the Fifth French Republic have never been completely friendly, thanks to competing visions in Africa and the Middle East and conflicting interests worldwide. Where France prospered and re-established itself as a regional power, the Turkish state slumped under the prolonged authoritarian rule of Recep Tayyip Erdogan. When the Triple Alliance of France, Spain and Italy launched its attacks on the Maghreb, Turkey had been one of the first yet hesitant nations to deploy forces in an attempt to counteract the European push. As a result of this relations between Paris and Ankara dipped, and in the early months after the Western Mediterranean Crisis President Erdogan failed to revitalize relations with the French. However, the Turkish Foreign Ministry in its recent June memorandum stated that 'relations with France must be boosted in order to further contribute to regional stability and ensure the continuation of trade between France and Turkey in a smooth manner'. Aiming to salvage what he has left and ensure his legacy as president isn't tainted by negative Franco-Turkish relations, President Erdogan announced on July 4 that he would be visiting Paris, France to meet with President Emmanuel Macron of the Fifth French Republic. Days later, on July 9, President Erdogan landed in Paris, France to meet with his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron.[/sub]

| [sub]At a press conference, the JO1 agent officially said the countries that will be targets of the boy band’s upcoming international tours. “Belgrade, Paris, Berlin, Madrid & Antwerp were the cities chosen to receive our boys in Europe”, said the JO1 agent. About a scandal that occurred with one of the members of the group was also highlighted by journalists, that it was a possible dating secret between Yonashiro Sho and a girl, the agent on the other hand denied that this had happened and added, “I called this press conference to give more details about the boys’ tour and not focusing on the subject again,” the agent replied to reporters. After the press conference at Lapone Entertainment, JO1 also received an official response from Kantei, Prime Minister Kishida wished him a safe trip to Europe. “Make the Empire of Japan proud,” added the Prime Minister of Japan.[/sub] |

[list][sup]Before the Tour, JO1 Officially Meets the Prime Minister of Japan[/sup][/list]

| [sub]Before traveling to Europe, the 11 members of JO1 received a formal invitation from the Government of Japan to meet Prime Minister Kishida and the agency responsible for JO1 accepted. The meeting between the boy band and the Prime Minister of Japan lasted about 1 hour, the subject that was discussed during the meeting was about Tokyo’s various investment initiatives in Japan’s national music industry. Clearly, all this Japanese government interest in JPOP bands is just to expand Japanese culture in the world through music and that's why Tokyo is spending billions of dollars to make that happen and also to boost the economy.[/sub] |

"FRIENDS OF ITALY" FOI BONUS CARD ISSUES FOR USP PERSONNEL

JULY 2027

The Italian Government in coordination with local Governments and Councils has issued the FOI bonus card for Paramerican Personnel stationed in Bases across Italy. The card will provide easier access to services along with discounts on things such as bus and train services and local stores. The Central Government has ensured that a minimal discount of 50% on public transportation however all store-based discounts depend on the store in question where local branches shall decide the bonuses. FOI cards are being issued in an attempt to make exploration and shopping more popular among Paramerican service personnel, who might leave their Base to purchase goods rather than using the on-base sites made available to them by the US military. Total costs to the Italian Government at a medium rate of implementation (accepting that many Servicemen and Women might still not wish to go off base for goods) are estimated to be around 3.5 million USD per year, however the implications of the card on friendship and mainly impressions on those Servicemen is considered the main bonus for the Government.

CHEMICAL SPILL IN INDEPENDENT REPUBLIC OF CROATIA CAUSES MILITARY EVACUATION

JULY 2027

Residents of the Croatian Town of Slunj and its neighboring communities were awaken today by Military Personnel of the Croatian Defence Forces and residing Italian Personnel, with the direction for immediate evacuation. Home to the MPS-67 Chemical Plant, the Croatian Government had become aware of a large scale leak of 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzodioxin into the atmosphere estimated at around 7KG. Despite being most dangerous to animals, large scale exposure such as is occuring at Slunj can be immensely damaging to health and raises the risk of Cancer in the hundreds of times. In Humans large doses causes a breakdown of tissue and disfigurement of the facial area. For Animals the required doses are much smaller on a per gram basis, with the lethal dose for Guinea pigs being only 1 μg/kg compared to humans no longer tolerating the toxin above 70ug/kg. Regardless of the Animal toxicity however, to prevent spread of the toxin the Military has begun the large scale culling of all Animals within a 50 mile radius. Despite the order however it may not be possible to completely eradicate the toxic exposure as the Yugoslav Border is a mere 16km away.

So large is the leak that it dwarfs the Seveso disaster of 1976 as only 1kg was released at that date, and even that small figure was enough to place it at the 8th worst chemical spill in human history. Checkpoints would have to be set up to disallow access to the area, and all clothing located within the zone burned along with all other possessions. Civilians would be taken to Checkpoint zones where they would have to be washed down in chemical showers and then issued clean clothing. Pets would not be permitted to pass the zone, with the Military being forced to shoot them in order to prevent future breeding of the animal and thus infestation of certain animal populations.

In safe conditions TCDD is normally only measured in trace amounts of 1 parts per million, however in Sesevo 166ppm was measured and now in Slunj the initial measurements are showing a figure in excess of 391ppm which is over five times the tolerable amount. Unlike Uranium TCDD induces no smell and is entirely invisible and thus cannot be witnessed without measurement devices, and in this specific situation the leak was only detected once an Italian Chemical Plant in Triest measured 3ppm which was a three times increase from the day prior. Cleanup Operations already begun by the Croats would cost an estimated three billion dollars in scale, as it would require construction of a large scale sarcophagus in the same manner as was completed at Sesevo (The Sarcophagus at Sesevo is so large and secure that its lifespan is 300 years). This Sarcophagus would need to be filled with destroyed houses, tons of contaminated soil, animal remains, and any possessions left behind by the civilian population.

Thus far the Croatian Government has remained mostly silent on the issue, its foreign Ministry issuing a simple statement that a small scale Chemical leak had occured within the Town of Slunj, and that it recommends the Yugoslav Government complete measurements on its own side of the Border. One vital omittance is that issued by the Croatians to the Italian Government itself, in which they claim that the amount measured is a mere 40ppm compared to the actual +391ppm. As a result Italy only dispatched non specialized personnel to assist in an evacuation and not dedicated chemical cleanup teams, which now falls upon the Croatians to provide. This omittance has also led Italy to downplay the problem to its European Allies by providing only the minimally required data on current levels of spillage.

SOMEWHERE IN THE EAST OF CONGO — Bataillon d'exploration [sup]In the deep darkness of the forest, all that is heard is the subtle sounds of the jungle, the moon is full and shines over the forest. The air seems peaceful, almost majestic, that is until the ringing of shots in the air disturbs the peace. A belly churning scream fills the void. From the balcony of a newly built church, Capitan Kristof De Mulder observes as flashes of lights briefly light up the dark void. His sergeant, Jason Verdoodt, also looks on in dismay with a hint of fear in his eyes. The Capitan simply motions for the sergeant to prepare what remained of the mission to defend the church. The sergeant complies and descends the stairs towards the room of worship, the church preacher, Andres De Leener, is kneeling before the cross whispering his prayers, preparing for what is to come. Jason approaches him from behind to request that he blesses the men for what could be their last stand.[/sup]

[list][list][list]Sergeant Jason Verdoodt {Father Andres, please bless the men...we must make a stand here in the church! Father!}

Father Andres De Leener { [sup]Sancte Michael, defende nos in proelio ut non pereamus in tremendo iudicio. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen...[/sup]}

Sergeant Jason Verdoodt {Father please we don't have time! Give the men your blessing!}

Father Andres De Leener {Child...no amount of prayer will help...for what comes from the darkness is death itself. [sup]Crux Sacra Sit Mihi Lux....[/sup]

Sergeant Jason Verdoodt {Dammit all to hell! MEN, ARMS AT THE READY! WE MAKE OUR STAND HERE IN THE CHURCH! BATTLE POSITIONS NOW!}[/list][/list][/list]

[sup]Sergeant Jason began rattling off orders to the few men who remained alive, ordering them to their positions, yet he was unable to find corporal Bruno Delporte who was to lead the men. He asked the soldiers where he was to which one simply remarked in the cellar. Jason would quickly make his way into the cellar, stepping down the stairs into the dark pit, they had used the cellar to detain disobedient slaves and soldiers, but all of the slaves they had brought with them had long been consumed by the darkness. The cells remained empty with the exception of one. The last cell is where Bruno hid. He was in a fetal position, rocking back and forth whispering to himself. As the sergeant came closer, his lantern revealed the mass writing on the walls. One single repeated sentence that read, 'THEY ARE COMING, THEY ARE HUNGRY'. With no time to contemplate the madness around him, sergeant Jason grabbed Bruno from his collar, pulling him to his eye level.[/sup]

[list][list][list]Sergeant Jason Verdoodt {CORPORAL WHAT THE HELL IS THE MEANING OF THIS, HAVE YOU GONE MAD?! GET TO YOUR STATION NOW CORPORAL!}

Corpral Bruno Delporte {Theyarecomingtheyarehungrytheycomingtheyarehungrytheyarecomingtheyarehungry}

Sergeant Jason Verdoodt {You've gone mad fool! Get a hold of yourself, we have to make a stand!}

Corpral Bruno Delporte {Were all going to die, Jason...were going to burn in hell for what we've done here HAHAHAHAHA!}[/list][/list][/list]

[sup]The sergeant lost his calm and struck the corporal across the face, laying him on the ground. The corporal just continued laughing like a mad man, Jason simply left him in the cell to rot. Ascending the stairs back into the prayer room, a soldier rushed to meet him. Urging him towards the entrance as a soldier had come out of the dark bush, stumbling his way towards the church. The Sergeant opened the peak hole on the large door to get a better look at the approaching soldier, he recognized him, it was Sammy De Geyndt. The sergeant immediately tried to open the door to welcome him inside, but a soldier stopped the sergeant as he sensed something was wrong. Something was indeed wrong. Sammys left arm was dangling around, as he got closer the men could see his arm was barely attached to his elbow with his bone almost exposed. His body was covered in blood with his once elegant blue uniform turned to deep crimson and his expression was a mix of terror and happiness. The Sergeant quickly realized what was going on, as he had seen this trick before, and ordered Sammy to not get any closer to the church.[/sup]

[list][list][list]Sergeant Jason Verdoodt {Not a step further Sammy! Stay where you Stand! Where is the rest of your platoon?!}

Sammy De Geyndt {Sergeant! Please let me in! Let me in! They are coming! I don't want to die, please let me in! I want to see my wife again!}

Sergeant Jason Verdoodt {Where is the rest of your platoon soldier?}

Sammy De Geyndt {I-i-i played dead, yes I played dead! They don't like the dead so i-i...i played dead hahaha yes I crawled through the corpses. They were too busy to notice me so I got away hahahahah, Jonas...Pierre...Félix...the-y th-ey....I just kept crawling through the corpses. I saw Gert...he was still alive when th-they...he screamed so much he even called for his mother and I...i-i I just kept crawling hahahahaha!}[/list][/list][/list]

[sup]As Sammy rambled on, a gunshot from the church balcony was heard, fearing the worst the sergeant sprinted up the stairs. But all he found was the lifeless body of Capitan Kristof De Mulder. He had shot himself through the head with his officer's revolver. The wall was colored red with his blood. But with no time to mourn a soldier at the bottom yelled for the Sergeant to return to the prayer hall. As the sergeant descended he could hear Sammy whaling and banging the door, begging to be let in. The sergeant barked at the soldiers to not allow Sammy in. He had seen this trick before and knew better than to open the door as the evil may be baiting them. As heartless as it was, better him than them.[/sup]

[list][list][list]Sergeant Jason Verdoodt {Sammy you will not be allowed into the church! Return to your post right this instance and await further instructions!}

Sammy De Geyndt {Sergeant please! Don't leave me to die, please! I can hear them getting closer, they coming they are hungry! I saved your life Sergeant...I SAVED YOUR LIFE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! Oh god...the eyes...THE EYES AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!}[/list][/list]

[sup]Suddenly the banging on the door intensified and Sammy wailed out in pain as the soldiers could hear him being ripped apart from the other side. Sergeant Jason yelled at the men to fall back and form a circle with the church benches. The banging on the door was so intense that the screws began to creek and the door itself was buckling from the force. Father Andres paid no mind as he continued his prayers, knowing that it would all be over soon. Jason and the last of the men took aim at the door, expecting the door to give in at any moment now, the fear was strong as sweat dripped from everyone. One soldier was so terrified that his rifle trembled to the point where he couldn't even aim it properly. Suddenly the banging stopped and the room went silent. Seconds went by, all one could hear was the wind. Suddenly the silence is broken as the door was breached, the church erupted with a mixture of shots from M1870 rifles and the screaming of men. The darkness consumed the church and once more the dark forest remained silent.[/sup][/quote][/spoiler]

[sup]Huffing and puffing, Sergeant Jason kept on running in the darkness of the forest, but his legs felt heavier with each passing second. His uniform was torn and bloodied, his right eye clawed out, and his back full of deep scars. He was losing blood at dangerous rates but Jason did not care, he had no choice but to run as he could hear them moving in the bushes. The darkness was so intense he could only see but an inch in front of him. Bumping into tree branches and bush, the sergeant tripped over a rock into a big puddle of water. The pain was intense he could barely manage to stand. The sergeant knew his struggle was in vain, no matter how fast he ran, how well he hid, or how hard he fought back they would have him at the end. With the realization, the sergeant began crying, regretting all that had transpired over these miserable months. He could hear whispers from the darkness of his comrades but he knew better than to listen to them. He could even hear Sammy taunting him and asking him why he left him to die. The sergeant simply repeated that he was sorry, all he could do really. But the whispers faded as heavy movement from the treelines was closing in on him. He heard them, they had caught up with him there was nowhere to run. He spotted their eyes in the darkness, those horrible deep eyes stared at him with no visible emotion, just cold soulless eyes. Deeper into the darkness the sergeant spotted it, the demon that had tormented the battalion since the beginning. Its eyes were deep crimson and unlike the rest, there was a twisted beauty in those eyes, almost enchanting. The demon remained where it stood in the deep darkness, simply observing him, almost mocking him. Wiping the tears from his eyes he stood up and took out his knife. It was over but at the very least the sergeant would die with some semblance of dignity, he was a soldier after all.[/sup]

[list][list][list]Sergeant Jason Verdoodt {Theres no chance of escape...my legs are done for...come on! What are you waiting for?! I'm alone, I am all alone...my comrades...my brothers all lie around me dead...everyone...I'm sorry. I WON'T GO DOWN THAT EASY, BEASTS!!! COME AND TAKE ME YOU BEASTS!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!}[/list][/list][/list]

[sup]With what remained of his strength, the sergeant made his stand, futile and hopeless. The beasts all at once charged him in a frenzy, the jungle was engulfed by a solid minute of violent noise. Seconds past and all that could be heard was an empty silence. The sergeant laid on the ground, gored and bloodied. It would be over any second now, all the pain would be at long last over. He could feel something incredibly heavy slowly crushing his head. It was the red eyes coming to finish him, he didn't resist, not as if he could anymore. His limbs were mangled, his chest ripped open, and his head limp. Jason just stared at the full moon, so beautiful so peaceful. It would be the last thing he laid his eyes on before the weight of the beast finally caved his skull in with its sheer weight. The beast let out a horrid roar (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obAHcamxyRI), almost as if declaring its victory. The beast retreated into the dark void, leaving the body for the others. They left nothing in their frenzy, not even the bones of the sergeant would be spared. All the remained of him was the smear of blood on the ground. The Bataillon d'exploration was no more, marking the end of the hunt. And the jungle was once again in deep silence.[/sup]

NEW CORRUPTION LAWS CAUSE INTENSE RIOTING IN SICILY

JULY 2027

A new anti-corruption law passed by the Brothers of Italy-Lega Coalition has ignited intense rioting in Sicily as it targets mainly mafia based corruption. The law itself has been received as rather harsh by even foreign observers, as it can be used to target virtually anyone under certain circumstances. The precise contents of the law state that any Individual suspected or found to have complicity assisted or partaken in financial or informational corruption will have his/her entire pension & financial assets stored domestically seized by the State and thus lose their right to said funds. They would further be denied most government services and rights under the Constitution in order to allow for easier conviction of said individuals. Following the laws implementation an estimated 72,000 individuals took to the streets in Palermo, with Italian Military Police being deployed alongside the Carabinieri and instructed to use "necessary force" to enforce law and order within the City.

The whole Campaign of anti-corruption is part of the Governments plans to exterminate Mafia based influences on the Government within their term in office, which has particularly caused financial pains to the Government in the form of multiple billions of dollars. While the Mafia remains intensely influential in Sicily and Sardinia, the further north up the Italian Boot that one goes also coincides with a decline in their influence. As a result in media it has historically been portrayed as a rather "North vs. South" situation similar to the Northern and Southern State competition in the USP. Violence will no doubt persist on the two Islands, however the Government remains steadfast in its refusal to soften the law or in any way negotiate with Mafia related individuals.

Additionally, along the lines of the new law a total of 31 members of Parliament were ejected from their seats for suspected cooperation with Mafia forces. This removal was not however based on political influences, as of the 31 a total of 19 were from Right wing Parties and thus were considered "friendly" towards the Government. At the very least, this equal enforcement of the new rule has created a minimal amount of media praise for the Meloni Government.

JULY 2027

Residents of the Croatian Town of Slunj and its neighboring communities were awaken today by Military Personnel of the Croatian Defence Forces and residing Italian Personnel, with the direction for immediate evacuation. Home to the MPS-67 Chemical Plant, the Croatian Government had become aware of a large scale leak of 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzodioxin into the atmosphere estimated at around 7KG. Despite being most dangerous to animals, large scale exposure such as is occuring at Slunj can be immensely damaging to health and raises the risk of Cancer in the hundreds of times. In Humans large doses causes a breakdown of tissue and disfigurement of the facial area. For Animals the required doses are much smaller on a per gram basis, with the lethal dose for Guinea pigs being only 1 μg/kg compared to humans no longer tolerating the toxin above 70ug/kg. Regardless of the Animal toxicity however, to prevent spread of the toxin the Military has begun the large scale culling of all Animals within a 50 mile radius. Despite the order however it may not be possible to completely eradicate the toxic exposure as the Yugoslav Border is a mere 16km away.

So large is the leak that it dwarfs the Seveso disaster of 1976 as only 1kg was released at that date, and even that small figure was enough to place it at the 8th worst chemical spill in human history. Checkpoints would have to be set up to disallow access to the area, and all clothing located within the zone burned along with all other possessions. Civilians would be taken to Checkpoint zones where they would have to be washed down in chemical showers and then issued clean clothing. Pets would not be permitted to pass the zone, with the Military being forced to shoot them in order to prevent future breeding of the animal and thus infestation of certain animal populations.

In safe conditions TCDD is normally only measured in trace amounts of 1 parts per million, however in Sesevo 166ppm was measured and now in Slunj the initial measurements are showing a figure in excess of 391ppm which is over five times the tolerable amount. Unlike Uranium TCDD induces no smell and is entirely invisible and thus cannot be witnessed without measurement devices, and in this specific situation the leak was only detected once an Italian Chemical Plant in Triest measured 3ppm which was a three times increase from the day prior. Cleanup Operations already begun by the Croats would cost an estimated three billion dollars in scale, as it would require construction of a large scale sarcophagus in the same manner as was completed at Sesevo (The Sarcophagus at Sesevo is so large and secure that its lifespan is 300 years). This Sarcophagus would need to be filled with destroyed houses, tons of contaminated soil, animal remains, and any possessions left behind by the civilian population.

Thus far the Croatian Government has remained mostly silent on the issue, its foreign Ministry issuing a simple statement that a small scale Chemical leak had occured within the Town of Slunj, and that it recommends the Yugoslav Government complete measurements on its own side of the Border. One vital omittance is that issued by the Croatians to the Italian Government itself, in which they claim that the amount measured is a mere 40ppm compared to the actual +391ppm. As a result Italy only dispatched non specialized personnel to assist in an evacuation and not dedicated chemical cleanup teams, which now falls upon the Croatians to provide. This omittance has also led Italy to downplay the problem to its European Allies by providing only the minimally required data on current levels of spillage.

Royal Nigarian Expeditionary Force to lower age of conscription

After almost 10 years of continuous conscription, the requirements for mandatory military service are being lowered from 19 years old to 16 years old, while one more year of service will be required. This decision was made after the Prince of the Rifle, Prince Dreka Daz, planned to improve the infrastructure around the Nigarian Health Service, as well as increasing the amount of time new soldiers are trained from 20 weeks to 32. After talking to reporters, the Prince said, "We want to educate our soldiers more in specialist skills to push them towards other government ran jobs. The increase of trained individuals will help push our nation into a better position to improve not only our lands, but the lands in our great Affrikona continent."

In total, the RNEF and its national services provide jobs for 2.5 million active servicemen and women. The expansion projects planned for the Royal Nigarian Navy and Royal Nigarian Airforce will result in an increase in public spending. It is believed the Prince of the Rifle is now looking into contracting a new naval fleet to be built on Nigaria's behalf. More on this at a later date.

Completion of the Dubai Creek Tower: The New Largest Building in the World

الانتهاء من برج خور دبي: أكبر مبنى في العالم

[sub]Caliph Abdullah bin al-Hussein Abdulrahman I | ABU DHABI, 2027 [/sub][/list]

[sub]| DAWLAT ALAITIHAD LIL'UMAT AL'IISLAMIA - ادولة الاتحاد للأمة الإسلامية |[/sub]

The continual growth of the status and prestige of the Caliphate has remained unmatched in recent history within the Middle East. As the first official Caliphate since 1924, the Abdulrahman Family has represented a cultivation of a more modern and sophisticated Islamic community nation-state that embraces science, reason, logic, and innovation with strong faith, morality, and ethics. With continual works of modern infrastructure of global prestige in addition to modern practices of infrastructure and environmental sustainability, the Caliphate seems to have ambitions on a more global scale than simply regional. As the CDEC has established itself, there is much confidence in Abu Dhabi that for the first time in a very long time, a permanent and productive peace has been secured to allow for regional countries to really focus on internal developments rather than external threats and paranoia.

This became clear in Dubai as Queen Rania al-Abdullah Abdulrahman, Caliph Abdullah bin al-Hussein Abdulrahman, and Prime Minister Mohammed Al-Thani attended the grand opening of the Dubai Creek Tower, which is now officially the largest supported tower in the world. Costing $1 billion, the tower was supposed to be completed in 2025; however, wars with Galla in Yemen, Somaliland, and other regional tensions and turmoil delayed its construction until now. As the opening ceremony occurred at night, Dubai's new tallest tower emitted a beacon of light from its peak. At the top of the tower is an oval-shaped bud, housing ten observation decks, including The Pinnacle Room, which offers 360-degree views of the city. In addition to the Tower, the Dubai Creek Harbor has been revealed as the new district in Dubai, just like Dubai Marina, Business Bay and Downtown Dubai, but this district is three times the size of Downtown Dubai, covering an area of 6 square kilometers (2.3 square miles). Dubai Creek Tower is the centerpiece of this project.

At the ground of the Tower, the Caliph explained that under his continual leadership of "soft power and cultural priority over guns and missiles", the Caliphate will continue to grow onto unchallenged levels of state power and international legitimacy that will none will question nor directly challenge. The completion of the Dubai Creek Tower, larger than both the Burj Khalifa and the Jeddah Tower was a clear, aggressive signal to the world that the Caliphate was a legitimate, growing hemispheric power.
