[list][sub]"Well with my recent proposals to enlarge the Saudi Navy, joint control of Red Sea security obligations will become a reality while I seek increases in our naval capacity and capabilities in the Gulf. I do not really blame the poorer Arab countries for running to free money to be given to welfare development as a vast majority of Arab countries need said money. Saudi Arabia has been blessed by Allah with vast energy resources and a diversifying economy that is allowing for Riyadh to be a peer regional partner to Iran."[/sub][/list]
[sub]| President Sisi | "Yes, and with my new naval purchases Egypt can project naval power elsewhere in the Mediterranean and Arabian Seas as the dominant Arab naval power, helping the cause. Egypt is still developing at a rapid pace, as we are blessed with a diversified economy. Is there any proposals you may have regarding foreign policy, now that we have mapped out the current situation?"[/sub]
King Alwaleed bin Talal Al Saud:

[sub]| HELM OF LIBERTÉ, MINISTÈRE DE LINTÉRIEUR - | The Ministry of the Interior in cooperation with various other ministries including the Ministry of Sports, Ministry of Tourism, Ministry of Transport, and the General Directorate for Internal Security as well as the corresponding General Directorate for External Security in an effort to organize and coordinate operations leading up to and during the 2024 Paris Olympics. Security is obviously a top priority as millions of Euros have already been spent on barriers, setting up checkpoints, and increasing personnel on the ground as well as increasing security camera footage in areas where people will be gathering. Bomb detection units, K-9 drug teams, and spotters as well as snipers on rooftops is just the tip of the iceberg. The General Directorates for Internal and External Security have increased operations to counter internal and external security threats from cyber attacks to bomb and gun threats. In the meantime the Ministry of Sports has taken on organizing all of the events from Aquatics, Basketball, Archery, Athletics (Running), Badminton, Boxing, Breaking, Canoeing, Cycling, Equestrian, Fencing, Field hockey, Football, Golf, Gymnastics, Handball, Judo, Modern pentathlon, Rowing, Rugby sevens, Sailing, Shooting, Skateboarding, Sport climbing, Surfing, Table tennis, Taekwondo, Tennis, Triathlon, Volleyball, Weightlifting, and Wrestling.

Independently restaurants are working overtime, bringing in massive shipments of their food and beverage choices as well as temporarily hiring additional staff in order to better serve incoming customers. Temporary dining and entertainment venues have also propped up in locations around sporting facilities as well. Paris is eager and ready to host the world once again for a bit of sportsmanship, good competition, entertainment, and overall fun. | [/sub]

A SECOND PERSPECTIVE - Part 01
| Her footsteps echoed through the hallways of the Chancellery House, as Christina's white high-heeled shoes carried her across her home. She turned into the main hallway on the second floor, just has a soothing, yet authoritative woman's voice exploded from the stairs just ahead. "Christina, dear, the Allaires are coming over for dinner later tonight. Your father has business to attend to", the voice stated. She halted, enveloping her in an eerie silence. Her mind drifted over to James Hugo Allaire, dubbed by many as a replica of his father, French lead space engineer Louis Allaire. James was attending her private middle school in Jakarta, and Christina had developed quite an interest in him. He was smart, ambitious, humble, diplomatic, peace-loving, handsome.... another voice was calling up to her, pulling her out of her daydreaming. "Christina, get ready! They're nearly here! Do get dressed" the same authoritative voice came again. The voice had moved from soothing and peaceful to peaceful, soothing, and partly authoritarian. It was her mother's voice, a result of her new position of power in the country. She didn't move. She blushed furiously at the thought of her...how did she describe her feelings? An attraction? A crush? Something more? She shook the thought off, and ran to her room to get dressed. |
| A few minutes later, she ran downstairs, still blushing, past her mother, who was dressed in a grey-blue cardigan, with a similarly-colored cape draped over her back. She turned, watching her daughter run past in a blue and white dress, not stopping. "Christina, dear, come over here so I can check your hair", her mother called. Christina turned around and went to her mother, worried her cheeks were still red from blushing. As her mother bent down, her fears were realized. "Why are you blushing?" her mother asked. Christina's eyes grew a millimeter larger. Her mother stared into her eyes, reiterating the question. "Why?" her mother asked once more. Her daughter's eyes fell down to the ground, attempting to avoid answering the question. Although she had spoke in front of crowds before as a result of her new position in the NCC, she was still an incredibly shy person. Her mother's expression softened when she thought she guessed the answer. Her mother smiled and chuckled. "It's James, isn't it? You like him, don't you?" said her mother, her voice soft, the authoritativeness gone. Christina blushed furiously, confirming her mother's guesses. The High Chancellor laughed, and stared into her daughter's eyes. The High Chancellor whispered, "Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret from him" before winking and walking away. Her daughter stood there, rooted to the spot, still surprised. She turned towards the large window to her left and smoothed her hair. She walked to the door as the faint noise of conversation drifted to her ears. |
| Louis Allaire, lead French rocket scientist at the Space Administration, James Allaire, Louis' son, Valentina Allaire, mother to James and husband to Louis, and Christina's father, Robert Cross-Komarudin, entered the house. Pleasantries were exchanged, and Christina and James' eyes met for several seconds before the High Chancellor led the party into the parlor. "Maybe we should leave the children here to talk while we talk business over dinner?" suggested Anetta. Christina blushed and turned away towards the fireplace while James, in his white polo with a tie walked over to Christina and spoke to her. "Wanna take a seat?" said James, motioning to the two comfy armchairs that lay side by side in front of the fireplace, facing away from the main door. Christina nodded, still blushing a bit. The adults left the room, and the High Chancellor winked to her daughter before closing the door. |
| The fire crackled peacefully as the two children sat side by side, staring into the fire. The room was engulfed with silence as nothing but the fire made sound. Christina was mildly relieved when James initiated a conversation. "So.... have you heard of a Project Prospera?" asked James. Christina's head swiveled around to face him, curious. She'd heard the name in her father's conversations, as well as in documents she had seen lying around. "Yeah, I have actually. Seen some drawings" responded Christina, with an eagerness to have a conversation. "My father's been hyping it up a bit at work, what is it?" asked James, drawing closer to Christina. Christina explained all that she had seen, from lengthy paragraphs to intricate design drawings, to budget allocations. "Oh my goodness, a billion dollars to just one project? They must be dedicated" gasped James, almost an hour later. "I know, right? The budget, the weight it can lift, its as if its a heavy lift moon rocket, like the Saturn V. Even the budget for it fits it" said Christina. Their conversation had gone on for so long they had lost track of time. Christina stared into James' eyes, only inches away. She had a fleeting thought to do something, but it fled her mind instantly. James noticed how pretty Christina was, with the soft light of the fireplace lighting her face up. The door opened, and the two jumped apart. Mr. Allaire was standing in the doorway, beckoning to James as it was time to go. Before James got up, he whispered to Christina. "I think you look quite pretty in the firelight in my opinion". She blushed as James and his family left through the front door. Robert, her father, waved them away before closing the door and heading to the dining table to clear up. The High Chancellor, Christina's mother, bent down next to her daughter. "How'd it go?" her mother asked. "It went great. But, mom, I wanted to ask you something" asked Christina, in response. "What's Project Prospera and what does it have to do with the R10 rocket?" |

EARTHQUAKE CONUNDRUM: INDONESIA'S ENERGY CRISIS, PART 2 [/list]
[sub]As the Ministry of Energy prepared to unveil final plans for the Serpong Nuclear Research Facility, a military H225M helicopter landed at Jasinga, a village 27.5 kilometers southwest of Serpong, Jakarta. As a group of energy inspectors, geologists, and a handful of armed soldiers stepped out of the helicopter, two village men, the village leaders, approached them. "Welcome to Jasinga, Chairwoman Alatas" said one of the men as the other beckoned them on. The group's mission was to scout out and negotiate for a flat piece of land on which the Serpong Facility could be built. The facility will not be built at Serpong due to its proximity to Jakarta, but will instead only carry its name. As Chairwoman Rose Alatas, of the National Climate Commission, walked along the village's main avenue, a loud vibration followed by shaking occurred. The soldiers got down on the ground and placed their hands to protect their heads as the energy inspectors collapsed to the ground. The H225M chopper almost thirty meters behind them began flying upwards, but a falling electricity pole collided with it, causing a massive explosion. The chopper came down in a fiery inferno, killing the two pilots onboard, and a civilian walking by the chopper's landing site. The group fell to the ground, well distanced enough from the buildings to be safe. After three minutes of terror, the shaking stopped. Reinforcements and medical crews were called in from the Air Force and the Rapid Disaster Response Group (RDRG), and a helicopter came in to rescue the energy inspectors' group. The National Disaster Commission (NDC) reported that 14 people had died, with 121 injured. The earthquake caused outrage among the public, who claimed the construction of a nuclear power plant in earthquake-prone Indonesia would cause devastation if the plant were to break down and expose radiation to the nearby area. The Green Nation movement was formed in opposition to the formation to the government-run Nuclear Future Task Force (NFTF), who was assigned to researching the plausibility, viability, and sustainability of transferring to nuclear power as a major source of energy. Another small earthquake rocked Surabaya, increasing nuclear power opposition. Two riots occured in Surabaya and Jakarta, resulting in two civilian and one police death. As the energy crisis pushed on, the Chancellery released a new directive asking the NFTF to research the plausibility, viability, and sustainability of nuclear and renewable power, including natural gas. Peaceful anti-nuclear demonstrations continued throughout the week, causing more instability. The government called for peace three days after the Jasinga earthquake, inviting NCC, NFTF, NDC, and National Nuclear Commission (NNC) officials to discuss a possible outcome to the crisis. "Nuclear power is not something to be feared, it is something that should never have existed", stated a NCC spokesperson. With a larger crisis looming, the Chancellery began negotiations with civilian groups on a possible cleaner outcome to the situation. The Green Nation movement opened discussions yesterday and an outcome is yet to be achieved. [/sub]

EU-US FTA 3 months after what are the results ?
On the 1st january 2024, the US-EU FTA came into force. The repercussions of such trade agreement have been strongly felt among the business sector. Hans Brian of the BMW Export Department for the Paramerican Market said in a preliminary report that "the lowering of tariffs has increased demand for our products not just cars but also engines and spare parts of current vehicles".
For the German Customs Office, the import of Paramerican products has been growing and especially food products and machines. But has this trade agreement really created jobs ? The answer is yes according to the Ministry of Economy.
FOREIGN POLICY IN ASIA REVIEW
JAKARTA - In Indonesia, there are strong discussions of a large military deal between Germany and its potential new partner in South East Asia. While the IPDEC has prevented, for better or worse, intensified cooperation, Greta Scheffner insisted that "Indonesia is a vital ally for Germany and our gateway to provide trust between our nation and Asian partners".
The current terorrist activity has been a growing concern for Germany as Indonesia became, since 2017, a major trading partner and investing place in various sectors including water, tourism, banking and shipping.
The details of the military contract are not known by the public or the press but may include a lease program of various products including tanks and aircrafts.
[...] The strategy of Germany is very clear says Professor Thorborn Jungen. "Scheffner is trying to build relations in Asia after its tour in 2020 as means to build privileged relations and show that the west is not about imperialism but about genuine partnerships"

| THE WAR OF PETALS - BIZARRE CIVIL WAR OF IRAN |
[sub]April, 2024[/sub]
| What experts across the world have called, the War of Petals is now taking place in Iran. With SAVAK seizing control in March, the Shah arrested and the downfall of the monarchy, the situation quickly erupted into a situation like no other when the Diba Dynasty struck back. Taking over the regions of Fars, Gilan and Golestan in March with Secular Brigades and the loyal military that broke away, the situation became dangerous. The borders were closed by Irene Hassani and the situation within Iran tensed up as her own forces were sent into other regions. In the meantime, the Khuzestan Arabs declared their own Republic and Balochistan region government declared independence. However, by 8th of April, Balochistan was quickly overrun by Hassani forces and it's government arrested. In the meantime, the Diba Dynasty took control of East Azerbaijan, West Azerbaijan and Ardabil before starting to overrun Central Azerbaijan by 10th of April. By 12th of April, the forces of Diba Dynasty found themselves in Khuzestan and North Khorasan as Hassani had to deal with further betrayal from the Military.
On 13th of April, Princess Esfir Diba announced the establishment of the Diba Dynasty of Iran after overtaking Lorestan. Hassani in the meantime conducted a mass arrest of all royals in Republic owned territory, and on 14th of April demanded the surrender of Esfir and the Diba's, in other case the captured royals will be executed, amongst them the ex-Tsarina, Shah Reza and ex-Empress Soraya. On 15th of April, the Iranian Navy officially aligned itself with the Diba Dynasty of Iran, and Bushehr and Balochistan were taken by Diba's by 18th of April.
By 19th of April, no shots, no missiles, no bombs were fired. The War was about who can get more support, get more land and more cities. On 20th of April, after failed negoations with Esfir, ordered the unthinkable. On 21st of April, the captured members of the Diba Dynasty, coming up to 460 members, were executed by the SAVAK. On 22nd of April, the new Republic was in horrible state of being, and the Iranian AirForce declared support for the Diba Dynasty of Iran. Teheran and major cities of Iran were seen to be taken by major protests against the new Republic and Hassani. By 24th of April, the Republic of Iran was left only to Alborz and Teheran.
On 26th of April, the Diba Dynasty forces entered Alborz and Teheran. Irene Hassani, prominent members of SAVAK, and pro-Republican individuals were captured. On 27th of April, Esfir Diba announced the return of Iranian Monarchy, and the establishment of the Diba Dynasty of Iran. In her announcement, Princess Esfir announced that she will become the new Empress of Iran, and that all individuals that have brought upon shame and instability onto Iran will be punished with upmost consequence. In the meantime, Princess Esfir formed the regency government. On 28th of April, the borders were opened up again and the War of Petals came to an end. However, many now fear whether democracy will return and whether the Dynasty will bring back the regime of the pre-1966. Many individuals that have rallied for the Republic and those that had drafted the Republic's constitution had fled the country in fear of the Dynasty's wrath.
The War of Petals ended without a single shot, only with the blood of the royals. Will the Dynasty return democracy to the country or has democracy failed Iranians? |

| TOKYO, Mar 25th Japan was really changing, the country had slightly high levels of corrupt politicians within the National Diet as well as in other government institutions, although these rates were not linked to the Suga Administration. Recently, after a meeting with Minister of Justice Yōko Kamikawa and Director-General Masaki Wada, Prime Minister Suga publicly announced an increase in the budget of the PSIA [ Japanese Intelligence Service ] to increase technological development, thus facilitating the location of so-called "Traitors to the LDP", where Suga points out that corrupt politicians are traitors, along with this Suga also creates a "Government Special Police". Many still speculate that these "Traitors to the LDP" are whistleblowers who have discovered something from the Suga Administration, but that, of course, they are being pursued by this Government Special Police, where they have been accused of corruption. Prime Minister Suga in his publication confirmed, "this "Special Police" is to guarantee security to Japanese citizens of corrupt politicians and this has absolutely no connection with our Administration." But, according to the media, many wonder, "we really should be concerned that Japan is becoming a "New Korea" well, given the current situation, it is very likely." |

Egypt Joins Middle East Defense Community
___________
Following the Admission of Libya to both MESA and MEDC, Egypt formally requested a vote regarding admission to MEDC. The vote passed and Egypt is now a full member of the Defense Community. This comes at a time of increased tension in the Middle East following the successive collapse of MECO, the rise of MESA, the Rose Petal War in Iran, the union of the Arab Gulf States with Saudi Arabia, and a divisive meeting between the heads of state of Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
MESA Secretary-General Muhumad Ali Alhakim commended Egypt for its decision and called for continuing commitment to peaceable negotiation in the region.

| EMPRESS ESFIR SEIZES CONTROL OF THE COUNTRY - WHO IS THE ORCHESTRATOR OF THE WAR OF PETALS? |
| The War of Petals ended with Diba Dynasty regaining the power in the country stronger than ever. No damage done to cities, to lands or the people of Iran, the only thing damaged was the Monarchy with 450 members of the family brutally murdered by the SAVAK in Hassani's desperation to upkeep her new creation. The war of petals, however, shown the might and power of the Dynasty. In a month, the crippling dynasty returned with force and vengeance. The Iranian Military, one of the strongest in the world, shown their support for the Dynasty. But who exactly led the Dynasty to such situation, and who is the woman who now seized control within the country?
The now Empress Esfir, was once Princess Esfir of Shiraz. Born on 12th of August, 1956 in Shiraz, Esfir is the fourth child of Grand Prince Gholam Reza Pahlavi and Homa Alaam. Educated in Paris, Esfir graduated from the University of Sorbonne University with a bachelor degree in History and Art. Esfir at the age of 22 returned to Iran where she opened a chain of casinos in the Fars Region. In 1984, Esfir married her first husband and Services Giant owner, Ahram Bisham. In 1990 she married her second husband Ahbaz Berffan. During the 1980s, Esfir operated the largest chain of casinos in the country and began her charity work for the elders. During the 1990s, she immigrated to France with her husband until 2002. On her return, she began major involvement into Iranian Science and Technological Developments creating the Esfir Developments. Her interest in politics appeared after the death of Empress Farah in 2016 and the slow degradation of the Monarchy and overrun of democratic forces. A big proponent of the Monarchical rule, Esfir became a low-status member of the family. However, that's what most likely saved her from arrest and allowed her to strike against Hassani.
Esfir has been described throughout years as "...filled with grace tank...she steamrolls over her opponents throughout her life, but always does it with grace and dignity...she's a very honourable person and a person that stands tight by her principles...she's a big believer of introducing the pre-1966 Constitution and structure..." Esfir's fight against Hassani has also brought her into the spotlight of Iranians and the world as someone who is ready to take action to get what she wants and to stand by what she believes.
It is believed that most likely, Empress Esfir will not allow the return of the structure that was in Iran and many speculate that the introduction of 1960 Constitution is on the table. If that would be the case, Iran would return to being what historians refer to as the "...beloved dictatorship of a Monarch..." through which civil liberties and freedoms are the priority whilst the country is led by an authorive figure with little room for political opposition. For now, Empress Esfir has made little comment about what comes next, but a series of meetings has been noticed in the Golestan Palace and announcements could be made very soon. |
[spoiler="If the 1960 Constitution was to return these days, it would fit in well. We must ask ourselves a deep question, do Iranians want freedoms in all their social cultural economic spheres or do they want to be shamed by continuous failing democratic governments?" - Empress Esfir Diba]

KINGDOM OF KOREA[list]
[sub]Gyeongbokgung Palace, Jongno District, Seoul[/sub][/list]
| [sub]Korea had been a long-term friend of the Iranian Empire, but in it's current state the nation was becoming an increasing concern to the Joseon Dynasty who watched a growing War of Petals taking place. SAVAK as an organisation had been known the figures within Korea, particularly King Ahnjong himself as well as one of his sons, Yi Jung-hee who married former Shah Sandan Diba. The organisation in the eyes of the monarchy was concerning in its loose cannon nature, it's dis-attachment from the Iranian monarchy, arguably even the Iranian Government. It reminded Ahnjong of his youth, growing up in Korea during the 1980s was not the best of times. A nation with a crumbling dictatorial regime that hated his family with a passion.[/sub] |
| [sub]Irene Hassani, the head of SAVAK, had been announced to take over the reigns of Iran on a temporary basis as the Shah had been arrested along with dozens of others. It made King Ahnjong's blood run cold, it reminded him of when Park decided that he had expired his own usefullness and attempted to establish a republic.[/sub] |[list]
[sub]Yi Jung-hee: "Father, father. Iran is down."[/sub][/list]
| [sub]The former Prince turned politician would come running into the main living of the Palace flicking the television over as he yelled, his face looked panicked. Images of the start of SAVAKs take over where being broadcast on the screen.[/sub] |[list]
[sub]Seowang Mi-kyung: "She's gone and done it. Oh dear lord, Iran has fallen."[/sub]
[sub]Taewang Ahnjong: "That scheming little cow. I knew she was up to no good."[/sub][/list]
| [sub]The King would leap from his feet, spinning on his heels as he headed towards his office, presumably to contact figures within the Korean Government. Looking back to his family, he'd put a small plan together.[/sub] |[list]
[sub]Taewang Ahnjong: "Ki, can you try the back channels with the Diba Dynasty and see if we can evacuate any of them? Can Jungie, is Sandan okay? You must be stressing I never asked."[/sub]
[sub]Yi Jung-hee: "Sandan is fine, his mother is still in Iran however, he's trying to get in contact with her. But as you can imagine it's difficult"[/sub][/list]
| [sub]As the game of three-dimensional chess waged on in Iran as the Diba Dynasty decided it wasn't going away quietly, it become increasingly clear to Korea that it's ally may not be down for the count. Then the unthinkable news started to trickle out of Iran, SAVAK had just executed 460 members of the Diba Dynasty, some barely near the actual seat of power, the dead included the ex-Tsarina, Shah Reza, and ex-Empress Soraya. For days former Prince Jung-hee was devastated, spending most of the time with his husband grieving having been close with many members of the family, many of whom were now dead.[/sub] |
| [sub]This act led to the fury of a King, making an executive order to unilaterially recognise Princess Esfir as the true head of government in Iran, and condemn SAVAK and Irene Hussani as war criminals. The War of Petals very quickly turned in the favour of what remained of the Diba Dynasty, and soon SAVAKs reign of terror was over in Iran. In Korea the monarchy breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and very quickly sent a personal letter of congratulations to the now Empress in waiting. How Korea and this Iran get along is not so much guess work but really a matter of how well the two heads of state can get along on a personally level, and that is yet to be seen.[/sub] |

| GOLESTAN PALACE, TEHERAN |
| The Saudi Royal Guests would be taken straight to the Palace. With Military and Secular Brigades still all around keeping the situation under firm control, the guests would be quickly transported through the bustling with life city of Teheran. Soon enough, they would come through the large metallic guarded gates of the Palace and through to the Palace itself. The King and his Ministers would be escorted through the golden corridors of the Palace to the cabinet room.
Once they entered, the door closed and Empress Esfir would stand up alongside the Councillor of Foreign Affairs Mashra Jebal and Councillor of Defence General Bezkitar Savir. The Empress would be wearing a long golden dress with a white scarf over it, her hair up in a beautiful bundle decorated with long golden tips coming out of it. Smiling slightly at the King she would gesture them all to sit as aids poured tea for them. |

Providing a smile and a quaint nod of recognition to the Iranian Empiress, King Talal al-Saud would take his seat and reconfigure his thawb to get comfortable as he took a sip of tea and nodded at the assistant that poured the drink.
King al-Saud:
[list][sub]"It is a pleasure to meet you as well Empress Diba and I would say the same for myself but unfortunately, there are particular situations in the region that deserves a lot of attention that otherwise can no longer be ignored. I am also honored to be here as well with the establishment of your new regime and being the first country to recognize such diplomatically. With that, it is no mistake as to why I am here Empress Diba. Between Saudi Arabia and Iran, there are markets worth over $6 trillion and the familial wealth between our two families are over $2 trillion, bringing absolute total wealth to over $8 trillion. That cannot simply be ignored from numbers alone. Since the dissolution of MECO, the Middle East has begun an interesting morphing of alliances, allegiances, partnerships, and uncovered interests. That is a grave concern to Riyadh and I am sure that is a grave concern to Tehran as well."[/sub][/list]

Arab-Saudi Defense Treaty Signed As Middle Eastern Tensions Mount
_________
Starting with the Iranian airstrikes on Turkish forces, the Middle East has suffered a destabilizing political realignment. Following the arrest of former Prime Minister Kobrina Nouri, MECO fell apart and with it the region. Seeking its own security, the Arab States signed a defense treaty with Iran. Not long after, the Rose Petal War broke out, and the gulf suffered its own revolution. A new King rose in Saudi Arabia, and the Arab Gulf States became his new possessions. Attempting to hold things together, Arab diplomat Muhamad Alhakin and Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi crafted MESA. But as tensions in the Middle East continue to unfold, concerns for Baghdad's own security endured.
Inside the Foreign Ministry, a new stance was taking shape. FM Ayman Safadi had constructed a regional framework for security, but he had his own country to worry about as well. The evolving situations in Tehran, Riyadh, Memphis, and Ankara created significant worry for Baghdad. Sandwiched between its peers, the Arab States were liable to be caught in the middle of any conflict that might erupt. Therefore, Safadi proposed the Five Fronts Principle. The Arab States faced five fronts of possible diplomatic tension: Iran, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and MESA. To quell these possible tensions, it needed preventative measures on all sides. The first three would be simple but important, and Baghdad had already secured defense agreements with Iran and Egpyt. Bilateral relations with Turkey endured via TEEA. Safadi was also confident in MESA's nascent ability to prevent conflict.
This left only Saudi Arabia, recently significantly strengthened by the incorporation of the Arab Gulf States. Seeking to remedy this missing front, President Zahir Khalil requested to meet with the King of Saudi Arabia in Baghdad. A productive meeting occurred and the result was positive: a defense treaty between the two countries in the event of an attack.
With its diplomatic fronts covered, the Foreign Ministry had a simple goal: hunker down and pray for peace.

[list][ Empress Esfir Diba ]: "Yes, the current situation regarding alliances, partnerships and such are very interesting for sure. I am not sure if you're aware of what the Iranian policy was like in the 1960s. It was to charm and dominate, Your Majesty. My vision of Iran is that of the 1960s, what many refer to as the Golden Age. My country tried to give the rest of the Middle East a golden age through MECO but fundamentally, when it collapsed, the rest of the Arab tribes decided to join together, forget about MECO and what it brought. It is a saddening view of what is going on but my policy will be simple and transparent, Your Majesty and I gather that you might have certain proposals regarding the current situation? Proposals which I am very much willing to listen to."
Arab Federal States
King al-Saud::
[list][sub]"I am proposing that collectively Riyadh and Tehran ensure the establishment of a peaceful, prosperous order in the Middle East. Iran is the economic backbone of the region with Saudi Arabia right behind it. Collectively, we have the most modern military forces in the region with endless capabilities. Saudi Arabia is the world's largest possessor of natural gas and oil deposits as we produce over 14 million barrels a day. Riyadh and Tehran are the sole proprietors of security and stability in one of the most lucrative, and strategically important maritime chokepoints for global trade: The Persian Gulf. Saudi Arabia also possesses the holiest cities for Muslims as you know while Iran operates as a secular political bastion. Saudi Arabia and Iran are two sides of the same coin and that cannot be ignored at all. Granted, Saudi Arabia is Arab; however, the recent actions of countries such as Egypt is quite worrying to Riyadh as we wish not for Arab Nationalists to be in a position to dictate the economic and security arrangements of the Middle East, let alone the Arab World. We are two poles wanting the same thing: enrichment and prosperity. This is the position we have been forced into and this is the avenue of approach I am seeking with Iran. This benefits you as well as myself."[/sub][/list]

We could be unstoppable, and not just in the Middle East but the whole of Asia should we...should we unite our cause in a collective pact of some sort. Each side has something the other lacks, something that can bring us closer to what we want. Yes. I believe a pact between Saudi Arabia and Iran should be formed. One that makes sure the Middle East is secure between us and one that allows us to conquer Asia herself, as well."
Alzarikstan
King al-Saud::
[list][sub]"I firmly believe that this Riyadh-Tehran Pact or whatever official name that is to be placed on this agreement is what the Middle East needs in order to get back on track. Now speaking of which, I think the first priority is joint maritime security cooperation in the Persian Gulf as this is not just for the both of us but the world. It is essential that our interests remain aligned to maximize our potential in growth across all industries and fields. In addition to joint maritime security cooperation, I am willing and ready to have Saudi Arabia's markets and economy to open to Iran so long as Iran is ready, committed, and prepared to allow the same to occur."[/sub][/list]

[list][ Empress Esfir Diba ]: "Yes. Such martime security cooperation is needed. Our Vessels are also present in the Arabian Sea and the Red Sea and I believe same security can be made there. Secondly, due to our countries being part of MECO our markets are already ready for one another so I believe that will be an easy way of markets going about."

King al-Saud::
[list][sub]"I am most gracious to have your cooperation. Is there anything that Riyadh can do for Tehran in the current moment while I am here?."[/sub][/list]
[list][ Empress Esfir Diba ]: "There is one thing, Your Majesty. There are many people who have families in Persian Gulf States and many of those there have families in Iran, I believe it'd be beneficial if the Persian Gulf States and Iran remained in a free movement agreement, should Saudi Arabia like to join I'm open to it as well."
King al-Saud::
[list][sub]"Yes absolutely. I think that would be a rather more preferred way of maintaining stability and tensions in the Persian Gulf. The free movement agreement can remain regarding the Gulf States and I would like to see that free movement agreement expanded to include all of Saudi Arabia and all of Iran to ensure productive economic, social, and cultural relations."[/sub][/list]

Khartoum, The Republic of Sudan
March, 2024 - Blessings And Curses, Sudan's Mid-20s Foreign Policy
The fall of the Middle East Co-operation Organization (MECO) with Iran's departure had probably hit Sudan the hardest among its members as the largest form of economic, political, and social development platform to the region and to the country had been dissolved leaving Sudan aimless and blind for its future. For a brief moment under the leadership of Shah Pahlavi, Prime Minister Salva Kiir had attempted to reinstate Sudo-Iranian relations with a visit to Doha only for it to return to a state of uncertainty with the outbreak of the War of Petals in Iran and the take over of Empress Esfir Diba had left the nation stunned once again. However despite the debate and question on which side Sudan should supper Empress Esfir had found herself to be popular among the Sudanese people, especially those who still have the memory of Nageeb's Sudan fresh in the mind remembering the era of women's rights, power, and feminism in the middle east and in Sudan. This increasing public support for the Iranian monarchy had caused many members of the Sudanese Parliament to officially call for supporting the Monarchy and the normalization of relations between Sudan and Iran as Prime Minister Kiir promised.
Other developments in the region had however left a sense of concern and sorry in the Sudanese nation once again. Tensions in the middle east could be felt and sensed by the Sudanese leadership which has then called for an urgent meeting. Iran's fight for its legitimacy, the newly sparked ambitions of the Saudi Monarchy, the daring actions of Turkey, and the desperate need of regional power in Egypt have left the Sudanese nation feel the result of the collapse of a peace loving stable union of nations called MECO.
Sudan has plans to keep the economy rising. Trade agreements will be quickly revived with nations like Japan, China, Galla, and the European Union. As well as the former member states of MECO. The Liberal Party has announced plans and ambitions to expand progressive and social agendas for the Republic. What Sudan however currently lacks in MECO's absence is the security of the nation. The Non-Aggression Pact signed between Sudan and Galla some few Decades ago have proven very useful in maintaining peace a security between Khartoum and Addis Ababa. However other security concerns have poped up with the protection of the organization. Though the situation in Zaire seemed to have calmed down, along woth the end of the War in Chad in sight. The Sudanese leadership had noticed that it is in need of repairing and normalizing relations with the French Republic to which the Prime Minister had protested stating that it might cause him his re-election. However the death of Bashir along with the collapse of MECO seemed to have grabbed the attention of the public away from anti-French sentiment. On the other side of the Red Sea, increasing activity from the Arab kingdom had also concerned the leadership with the annexation of the Gulf States. However Riyadh was not the issue in the eyes of Sudan. It was the warned superiority complex of the Arab race that Sudan had long dreaded for 24 years. The sudden flaring of tensions between Memphis, Riyadh, and Ankara had left Sudan extremely worried for its own national security. Sudan's role with the MEDC along with its personal relationship with its brethren in Egypt had questioned if the curse of being placed right in between of the centers of Islamic and Arab cultures on the Red Sea could be broken. Though Sudan is blessed with being somewhat distant and enforcing the ideology that the Sudanese nation belongs to no "superior" race, the nation is also cursed being on the frontier of the clash of middle eastern giants. A number of Sudanese Parliamentarians had already considered complete isolation from the middle east in favour of adopting its Pre-MECO western foreign policy by building better and close relations with the European Union, United States, Brazil and La Plata.
Either way it is unkown what exactly Sudan's foreign policy game would be in the middle of the 2020s but it is clear that Sudan prefer descalation of tensions as well as maintaing a regional peace. Sudan had called on Egypt and Saudia Arabia to talk their issues out instead of playing a dangerous geo political game that could put us all at harm.
Prime Minister Kiir had also announced that Khartoum would be open for any and all talks of peace and co-operation in region and states that Sudan would look forward to working together with its neighbours. Following the statement Prime Minister Salva Kiir had announced that he would be leaving the nation for an official visit of Empress Esfir Diba of Iran in the hopes that both nations would reach and understanding of their relationships.

| TOKYO, Mar 15th With the Climate Summit held in Tokyo earlier this month, where world leaders pointed out solutions for reducing CO2 such as increasing the use of renewable energies and reducing polluting energies such as oil, coal, among others. Japan announced during the Climate Summit that it would strongly increase nuclear power along with renewables, something Suga had already said in March 2023, when it was confirmed that the new projection for nuclear power production in Japan would be 28.3% in 2030. The Prime Minister Suga also confirmed subsidies for automakers such as Toyota, Honda, Suzuki, Nissan, Subaru and Mitsubishi to increase the production of electric cars, encouraging the purchase of these cars as it was also said that the tax on these vehicles will be reduced by 6%. "This change is part of my New Environmental Policy "Green Japan" [...] If we all work together, we will build a sustainable world," said Suga. |

Remaining in his seat, Saudi Minister of Energy Development & Production Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman bin Abdulaziz al-Saud would appear rather unfazed with the topic of the summit; however, had to attend due to Saudi Arabia possessing the largest oil and natural gas deposits. After listening to the Japanese Prime Minister, Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman bin Abdulaziz al-Saud would begin to speak:
Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman bin Abdulaziz al-Saud:
[list][sub]"At the current moment, Riyadh does not see a sincere necessity for Saudi Arabia to adhere to changing our current energy policy. Saudi Arabia has a responsibility to ensure adequate supply of natural gas and oil to global demand and clients. Iran will adjust according when it needs to but in the meantime, until then, we will continue with our productions. Saudi Arabia understands the demand for natural gas is increasing but there are still usages outside of energy for crude oil. Saudi Arabia shall adjust based on market prices and changes. Not human error assumptions. Being as though Saudi Arabia produces over 10.4 million barrels a day, it is very important that Saudi Arabia pays attention to the markets to avoid saturation. Therefore, we will not assume where the markets will be 10-20-30 years from now. As more countries develop especially in the Global South, they too will need adequate supply of oil and gas if they do not have any deposits or the tech to retrieve their own. That too must be taken into consideration. We cannot just simply make a massive leap like this without thinking of global implications to global development and alleviation of poverty. Riyadh does support the notion of positive, civilian usage of nuclear energy; however, Saudi Arabia will not change its current production nor emphasis on natural gas and crude oil usages."[/sub][/list]

[list][sub]"Good day to you all. Before I start with my comments on climate change, I'd like to address an important issue we have. As many of you know and see, I am many years and even decades younger than every person in this Summit. I am here because I have no underlying interests or political allegiance and because I am not a politician, but instead a person who will be affected by the outcome of this Summit. Regarding the Summit, Prince Abdulaziz al-Saud's comments, in two words, he's right. Drastically changing crude oil and fossil fuel production will not be beneficial for the time being due to the world's strong dependency on them. We can, however, slowly begin reducing demand for these fossil fuels by slowly turning to renewable, and as Prime Minister Suga stated, nuclear energy. I personally believe the development of nuclear energy as well as renewable power sources will benefit the world in the short term, as well as the long term. We should not focus on cutting the source of climate change, being fossil fuel and greenhouse gas production, but instead, we should prioritize reducing our own dependency on these fossil fuels, which will eventually eliminate the production of these planet-killing sources of energy. We have to focus on ourselves and our energy sources rather than on others and their exports."[/sub][/list]

The entirety of agreement is essentially a copied version of the MECO-Japan trade agreement that has proved beneficial to Sudan and so it was decided with the approval of Prime Minister Salva Kiir and the Foreign Affairs Ministry and support from the Sudanese Parliament that Sudan will continue that similar trade agreement with Japan.
The move was made in the Prime Minister's promise to revitalize and reinstate relations and agreements made between foreign nations and MECO to fill in the trading gap left in its demise. Prime Minister Kiir had also announced that Sudanese officials are prepared to meet with other foreign officials from China Peking Zhongguo, La Plata Nevbrejnovitz, And Korea Rutannia to re-establish connections that have been lost with MECO.

French and EU flags stood proudly in the background. He would wait for each representative to speak their points until it came to his turn.|[/sub]
[sub]| President Macron | "Bonjour monsieurs and madames. At our last climate summit we were all much worse off than we are today, however I believe that our work to prevent climate disruptions has only began. Some of us can do more. The EU has enacted climate and CO2 emissions policies that our members have put into effect in their respective nations. As for France we have long been at this challenge and have finally reached our long sought goal of hitting 30% reliance on clean renewable sources of energy. That includes harnessing France's massive nuclear energy sector, solar and wind power, electric automobiles, and even the use of bio-fuels. Many of you probably witnessed the implementation of my 'Green Energy Spending Bill' last year. The bill called for 55 billion euros from the government budget to be allocated towards green spending initiatives. This includes subsidies for companies making strides toward implementing clean energy practices, clean energy sources, and companies that market clean energy products. Subsidies for automobile manufacturers that are developing and marketing electric cars or vehicles that operate using bio-fuels. Subsidies for fossil fuel industries that produce bio-fuels and are expanding their markets externally while the country shifts away from internal uses of fossil fuels. There is a slight tax increase of 2% on non-bio fossil fuels being marketed internally in France. The bill also allocates for subsidies and government grants through the BPI Public Investment Bank for the construction of zero-energy eco-friendly buildings and the usage of eco-friendly building materials in all structures. While I hope my European allies soon follow in France's footsteps, Europe alone cannot stop climate change so it is up to all of us. As we now set our goals a little higher in hopes of hitting 40% renewable energy dependence by 2030, France remains ready, willing, and able to assist other nations in implementing similar policies and transferring to cleaner energy sources."[/sub] [list]______[/list]

ASTROCULTURE GOES PUBLIC
MARCH 11 2024
[list]| After decades of planning behind the shadows, the time has finally come for the pagan religion of the Gallan super-elite to truly come alive. Since it was first created in the fires of the Pacification Wars, it has evolved with the culture of the ruling elites. Once an unwelcoming and esoteric belief set, Astroculture has blossomed into a uniquely Gallan belief, complete with the Afrofuturism of our time. On the 11th of March 2024, MERI Mekdella announced her beliefs as a follower of Astroculture, along with thousands of high strata figures... |[/list]
ADDIS ABABA, PRESS CONFERENCE
[list]| [sub]MEKDELLA BREHEN, MERI of THE GALLA[/sub] | "...as an Astroculturist, it's my duty to present this to the Empire as our new national religion. The homeland of our religion is all around us, here in the Gallan Highlands and across the Erythrean Sea in Sabia (across the Red Sea, in Yemen). During the age before Christianity and Islam, the Gallan race worshipped a multitude of gods and goddesses, native to their land and culture. The most important figures are the Triple Goddesses:
[list][*]Al-Uzza (አል-ኡዛ): The Rightful Goddess of Venus. She is considered to be a war goddess, and represents the strength of the feminine element. Islam appropriated a plethora of symbols which belong to Al-Uzza, including the cube (which was originally used to worship her) and Venus (which Islamists appropriated the star in every star & crescent combination is in fact Venus). Al-Uzza's human form was murdered during an Islamic expedition in 623 AD. Still, she is worshipped as the main goddess of Astroculture all throughout The Galla. She is commonly depicted with an open palm facing outward and a sword.
[*]Al-Lat (አል-ላት): Goddess of Springtime and Fertility, Rightful Goddess of the Crescent Moon. Al-Lat is depicted as a caring, nurturing figure with a bundle of wheat. The crescent moon is another symbol which was taken by Islamists during their conquest. She is the Mother of All Gods. Many temples are dedicated to her and act as a place for women to come together and get away from the rush of life.
[*]Manat (ማናት): Goddess of Death, Doom, That Which is Allotted. Manat's cult predates those of the two previous goddesses. Tombs and graveyards are commonly placed under her protection, to deter violators. Manat is generally depicted as an old woman with a cup. In poetry about Manat, she brings people to their grave and has them drink from the cup ending their lives. Her symbol is the Waning Moon, and can be seen at cemetaries all around the Empire. [/list]
| Aside from the Triple Goddesses, there are a plethora of lower Gods & Goddesses with specific roles. Some notable ones include... |
[list][*]Mawt (ማት): God of the Underworld, otherwise known as the Land of Mawt. Owls are the sacred animal of Mawt. The Land of Mawt is an underworld unlike the Christian or Islamic renditions. Instead of fire and brimstone, the Land of Mawt is a calm, yet gloomy realm where there are no pleasures or pain. Souls are cast to the Underworld live totally neutral experiences as shades. Shades are husks, bodies without souls.
[*]Quzah (ኩዛ): Husband of Manat, he is the God of storms, thunder, and clouds. His rains and thunder are believed to ward off evil spirits. Rainbows that appear in the wake of storms are in fact stairways for spirits to go to the heavens.
[*]As-Simak (አስ-ሲማክ): The Uplifted One Guardian of the Heavens. As-Simak is a star god, based on the star Arcturus in the constellation of Bootes. His symbol is a lance. [/list]
| There are literally dozens of gods and goddesses to be worshipped in Astroculture, each for different reasons. Alongside goddesses, there are hundreds of demonic entities which exist in the Land of Mawt. These are based off ancient inscriptions from King Solomon, who had a child with the Queen of Sheba, a Gallan woman. Demons in Astroculture are not exactly feared, but respected for the power they hold over human lives. They grant humans with skills, usually in exchange for their continued worship. Skills can range from knowledge of the stars, logic, ethics, even just being witty and charismatic. Still, their malicious nature is not to be underestimated... many followers have gone crazy worshipping the demons, for the demons can take control of ones mind and fill it with incomprehensible things. Some light worship or dabbling never hurts though! Astrology places a large part in Astroculture, lending itself to represent numerous gods and traits. | [/list]
STANCE ON ISLAM
[list]| Diligent readers may have noticed that Islam has appropriated many symbols originally found in ancient Astroculture. As a consequence, anti-Islam sentiment was always deeply embedded into the fabric of Astroculture. Through careful cult engineering, the elites have toned this down to anti-Arabism. Since the Empire maintains a sizable Muslim population, the elites wished not to inflame them. Muslims of the Gallan Race are excused from hatred, but are politely encouraged to convert to something more suitable for their Race. Islamists abroad are generally loathed, for their role in the continued appropriation of our ancient culture. | [/list]
SELLING THIS TO THE PUBLIC
[list]| The majority of racially Gallan individuals are atheist. Many of them are also young, and easily impressionable. Astroculture goes public with a major push on college campuses, schools, and workplaces. By tapping into the nationalist nerve of the Gallan youth, Astroculture will be widely adopted in no time. This is not merely a religion based on figures.. the figures are unique, they are Gallan, and as a Gallan you ought to follow them. Doing otherwise is unpatriotic, and severely uncool. Media campaigns absolutely flood social media, television, radio, and even print. With temples popping up all over the place, promising young people spiritual release at most, or a weekend away from home at least, the plan is foolproof. On Gallan social media, Astroculture immediately trends at number one with people already choosing who to worship and sharing why. Budding Astroculturists can find English, Italian, and Gallan videos about the religion. The arts have begun to flourish already, and government officials work with Astroculture priests to support local artists in making monuments in favor of the gods. A new revolution is sweeping through The Empire! | [/list]

FOREIGN MINISTRY: LEND-LEASE DEAL BETWEEN INDONESIA AND GERMANY APPROVED TO SUPPORT ANTI-ISF OPERATIONS [/list]
[sub]The Foreign Ministry announced earlier today the approval and finalizing of a lend-lease military deal between Indonesia and Germany. The deal, which began negotiations in February 2024, finally made it through IPDEC voting and has been finalized. According to the deal, 10 Panavia Tornado IDS variable sweep multirole combat fighters, 25 Eurofighter Typhoon multirole fighters, 15 Leopard 2A7 heavy tanks, and 10 Boxer MRAV armored personnel carriers will be lent to the Indonesian military with no charge to assist its joint IPDEC combat operations against the ISF. After ISF operations have been conducted, the Indonesian government shall make a payment to officially transfer ownership of the weapons over to Jakarta, hence the name 'lend-lease'. Foreign Minister Reto Marsudi stated, 'this deal will both boost Indonesian strength in fighting against the ever growing ISF threat, and will at the same time increase IPDEC-Germany relations. We believe that Germany can and will prove to be a valuable partner in trading, defense, and other areas'. The military equipment is slated for arrival and transfer to Indonesia by mid-April 2024, which is the estimated starting date of stronger anti-terrorist offensives. Indonesian military commanders have extended their gratitude to Berlin, as the country prepares to mount a war against terrorism and eradicate them once and for all. [/sub]

CENTROAMÉRICAN ARMED FORCES - EQUIPPED FOR WAR WITH ENEMIES WITHIN AND ABROAD
APRIL 2024
The Centroamérican Armed Forces were born out of a need to defend the Nation against its closest Neighbours, Mexico and Colombia. Over time it evolved into needing to defend the Country from other threats, such as the Axis powers in the Second World War where it was thought likely that China may attempt to invade or otherwise attack Central America as a way to harm Paramerican shipping and interests. It expanded itself with an armored Force mid war, which proved to be its own contribution to the war when it joined in the invasion of mainland Europe, serving under the Paramerican High Command. Post war while maintaining this armored group, the goals of the Centroamérican Armed Forces between 1945 and 2000 moved towards counter insurgency and later in that perod combatting cartels. Since 2000 insurgencies have become mainly a thing of the past, however Cartels remain as resilient as a cockroach with regards to avoiding an end to their operations.
Even with the failure to completely destroy the Cartels, the main objectives of the Armed Forces have been able to return to national security rather than enhanced law enforcement. Naval Expansion took place from 2008 to 2016 and in 2015 the most notable addition was the former USS Nassau (Tarrawa Class) which was decommissioned in 2011. Being utilized as a Helicopter Carrier as well as in its original role as Amphibious assault ship, it has since served as the Flagship of the Centroamérican (and most costly vessel at an annual cost of 155 million USD).
The loyalties of the Army have always been in question since the Conglomerates grew their influence within the Country, their massive end of year bonus (5,000 USD per person) being paid in the name of said Companies, though it is officially taken from the Treasury. This has created a situation where they are more loyal to the Companies than the Nation itself, which has meant that in certain periods of the past where the Government still had power it was unable to levy the Army to enforce anti corporation policies. This is how Centroamérica was uniquely able to avoid the de-corporatization period that most western countries observed in the first part of the 20th century.

Since the major increase of Kurdish arms was unlikely, the military has started an investigation on this, and has started questioning arrested PKK soldiers . Some generals suspect the new set of arms were probably "help" the Nouri has promised before her fall.

[list]WILDERS NOT CHARGED! WALKS FREE AMID CONTRAVERSY OVER HIS RHETORIC! VOWS TO CONTINUE HIS CAMPAIGN FOR PM AND HIS FIGHT AGAINST ISLAM.[/list]
| Geert Wilders triumphantly makes his way out of the Benelux Court of Justice with his head held high as cameras flash all around him. He waves at a crowd of onlookers, taking in a breath of fresh air. Today, Mr. Wilders walks a free man, for his lawyers have successfully made the case in court that his actions and words were nothing more than an exercise of his right to free speech. As a result, the judge ruled that his trial was unnecessary and that the prosecution did not have a substantial case against the 61 year old Dutch politician. This isn't even the first time Wilders has had a showdown in the highest court of the Federation. He's been in court several times in the past 15 years for his hateful rhetoric against Muslims, the Islamic religion, immigrants, and a myriad of other peoples he has spoken ill of and offended. Unfortunately for the aforementioned people groups, the Benelux is a democracy and the people have a right to free speech, no matter how offensive it is. |
| The Dutchman continues to the foot of the stairs leading to the parking lot of the building before walking up to a podium placed there for him to speak. |
Geert Wilders, Head of the Dutch Party for Freedom: "Today, democracy has prevailed." Wilders clears his throat before continuing. "I have been labeled many things because of the views I hold. I have been labeled a racist, a xenophobe, an Islamophobe, a fascist, a volkist, and a whole bunch of other phobes and ists. They say I hate black people and arabs. They say I hate anyone who doesn't agree with me. They even say I hate my own mother." Wilders shakes his head as he tries to keep his composure as sweat begins dripping down his chin and nose. "I have never hated anyone based on the color of their skin or their religion. Nor have I ever hated anyone because of the ideology they profess. Listen." The Dutchman takes a deep breath. "I hate Islam, not the people who practice it. I hate what the faith stands for, it is destroying our society and destroying the Muslim people as well. I hate the fact that some people cannot integrate into the Federation and adopt our way of thinking. It is not about race. It is not about their origin. It is about their way of viewing the world and whether or not they can adapt to the Federation. It just so happens that a majority of these people, are not European. Is that difficult to understand?"
| The people gathered around wilders begin flashing their cameras as Wilders takes another deep breath and exhales slowly. |
Geert Wilders, Head of the Dutch Party for Freedom: "I do agree with one of the points. Yes. I am an Islamophobe. I AM. As the court proved today," Wilders points at the Court of Justice behind him. "there is nothing wrong with that. This is free speech plain and simple. The politicians in this country and the people they work for do not want to admit the truth. Islam is ripping Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg apart. We cannot afford to allow these people to build mosques in our lands or change our laws. We are a sovereign Federation, we are not a people to be messed with."
| Wilders steps back from the podium and reaches for a handkerchief in his pocket before wiping his face and returning to the podium to continue his speech. |
Geert Wilders, Head of the Dutch Party for Freedom: "As for the incident in the Interparliament." Wilders pauses. "I will not be apologizing for anything. Raymond Charbonneau knows what he did to provoke me. I stood up for the Dutch people. Charbonneau and the corrupt Walloon Parti socialiste are what's wrong with the Federation's politics. These people don't care about the individual citizen, they only care to line their pockets and keep the status quo. They watch as the countries within the Federation burn and do nothing. We Dutch make up an integral part of the Federation and will not be silenced any longer. My stitches prove that I will stand up and fight for what is right. I took a beating as well, nobody talks about that, no no no no no. Everyone talks about the punch I threw, not the punches and kicks Charbonneau's socialist thugs assailed me with." Wilders scoffs. "I am the most hated man among the leftist Walloons. I am the most hated man in the Islamic world. I am the most hated man in my own family. People want to take my life." The head of the Dutch Party for Freedom closes his eyes and sighs. "Why? Because people don't like it when you tell them the cold hard truth. I stand for the Netherlands. A free Netherlands. A Netherlands where people can walk safely on the streets without the fear of being stabbed. A Netherlands where we value the laws and traditions of our ancestors. Oh and one more thing." Wilders leans over and glares at the reporters in front of him. "I will not be dropping out of the Dutch general election. I will see it through and I. Will. Win."
| With that, several armed guards make their way to Wilders and surround him as they lead him through the press gathering, towards an awaiting limousine. Once there, Wilders is guided into the vehicle and driven away rather quickly. Wilders, having just offended Walloons and Muslims once again, cannot risk being attacked by anyone. The sooner he is home, the better. |

This brings the ANAF inventory up to 75 Super Hornets and now 215 fighter craft altogether. The purchase comes at a time of heightened Middle Eastern tensions and the establishment of Baghdads armed neutrality policy. Considering defense more important than ever, Defense Minister Khaled al-Obaidi stated that the Army was also seeking to expand its Air Defense capabilities.

[sub]Tensions Flare as National Assembly Recognises Japanese Control of Borneo as an Occupation[/sub][/list]
| [sub]Tensions between the Kingdom of Korea and the Empire of Japan have once again flared after a vote in the National Assembly recognised that Japanese control of the northern sections of Borneo is an occupation rather than a sovreign part of the Japanese Empire. The vote was called by two unlikely allies in the National Assembly, a young member of the Justice Party grouping and one of the most senior conservative members of the assembly.[/sub] |
| [sub]It was only two years ago that Korea was somewhat defending Japan's ownership of the land when Japan and Indonesia almost came to blows over Northern Borneo in 2022. The tides of favour have significantly shifted as Korea aligns itself closer to Indonesia after raft of joint military ventures were announced between the two, it also comes at a time where Korea considers the Suga Administration a threat to Korean sovreignity and its citizens both in Japan and at home.[/sub] |
| [sub]The closeness between the Japanese and Korean Governments fell away pretty quickly following the death of former Prime Minister Shinjirō Koizumi, which a sizable minority in Korea believe was a state-sponsored assissination carried about people close the Liberal Democratic leadership, although such links are so far unsubstainsiated. Korean politicians have accused the Suga Administration of being 'corrupt', 'authotarian', and bordering on the 'dictatorial', it was only a week ago that the leader of Spring, a centre-left social democratic party, compared Suga's administration to that of former Korean dictator Park Chung-hee. On the right of politics the LDP has limited friends with conservative politicians pushing hard on the issue of comfort women; the Dokdo Islands; and reparations for occupation between 1910 and 1945.[/sub] |
| [sub]It is unknown for how long this freezing of relations will last between the two nations, and how lower relations can sink. Only time will tell, and with Korean elections approaching on the horizon a new administration could change the direction radically.[/sub] |

DEFENSE MINISTRY: INDONESIA, IPDEC ENTERS OPEN CONFLICT WITH ISF SOUTH OF JAKARTA AS GERMAN MILITARY WEAPONRY ARRIVES [/list]
[sub]Intelligence reports of an amassing ISF insurgence force south of Jakarta had been coming in for almost two weeks when a 3,500-strong Indonesian force and a 500-strong Bangladeshi force, supported by armored and air units, entered open combat with the ISF south of Jakarta. The Defense Ministry dispatched an additional 1,000 Indonesian troops and 250 Bangladeshi troops to the city of Sukabumi, 63 kilometers south of Jakarta. Airstrikes damaged ISF forward positions southeast of Sukabumi, while Indonesian armored positions dug in to prepare for an ISF attack. An air squadron of 6 F-16 Fighting Falcons bombed an ISF outpost southeast of Sukabumi, inflicting heavy casualties and destroying defensive artillery positions. A 650-strong joint military force advanced with 4 T-14 Armata heavy tanks into ISF territory. After a few minutes, an anti-tank missile destroyed a T-14 Armata, killing five troops along with it. Reinforcements moved southwards towards their allies in distress, while fighter jets up above assault ISF missile batteries. For almost two days, IPDEC and ISF forces were locked in a firefight only kilometers from Sukabumi. The mayor of Sukabumi City declared a state of emergency after an ISF missile battery destroyed an apartment building, killing 37 civilians. Anti-missile defense systems were brought in to defend the city as the National Guard established defensive positions on the city outskirts. On April 18, 2024, Panavia Tornado IDS and Eurofighter Typhoon jets, 35 in total, arrived at Denpasar Air Force Base. 10 Boxer MRAV APCs arrived on April 20, and the new weaponry were put into action. The Panavia Tornado jets bombed known ISF non-civilian hideouts all over South Borneo, Java and the island of Lambok. 3 Eurofighter Typhoons were deployed to conduct close air support sorties for the 21st Infantry Division and a Bangladeshi infantry force, fighting an ISF hideout near Pontianak. 350 troops were stationed at the Borneo Space Center to protect the important launch site, while 6 Eurofighter Typhoons were stationed at Pontianak Airport. By April 21, the first batch of Leopard 2A7 heavy tanks arrived at Soekarno-Hatta International at Jakarta. The Defense Ministry is reportedly preparing to launch a widescale military operation to obliderate the ISF once and for all. [/sub]

FOREIGN MINISTRY: IPDEC AND JAPAN TO CONDUCT JOINT NAVAL DRILLS NEAR NORTH BORNEO TO ENSURE CONTINUATION OF PEACE IN ASIA [/list]
[sub]In the Chancellery's first move in relation to their new foreign policy, the Indonesian Foreign Ministry announced a series of joint naval drills between the Empire of Japan and the Indo-Pacific Defense and Economic Collective (IPDEC). The announcement came as a result of renewed Japan-Korea tensions, after Seoul labelled the Japanese control of North Borneo an occupation, sparking renewed tensions and the possibility of armed conflict. In order to maintain peace and stability in the region, the IPDEC has agreed to a series of joint naval drills in the seas around North Borneo, the Japanese territory at the center of the current situation. The Empire of Japan will mobilize 20 warships to participate in the exercise, Indonesia 30 warships, while other IPDEC nations continue to deliberate their warship numbers. Indonesia's INS Fajar aircraft carrier will be participating in the exercise, as well as some of the country's strongest naval vessels. The Foreign Ministry has urged Seoul and Tokyo to reconcile 'before its too late', while the High Chancellor, Anetta Komarudin, maintains the fact that the naval drills are only to consolidate peace and prosperity in the region. Foreign Minister Reto Marsudi said, 'these naval drills with the Empire of Japan will not only secure the continuation of peace in the region, but it will also warm relations between Japan and the IPDEC. We will show the world that we can work together, and set aside our differences'. Although Indonesia is apparently siding with Japan, Jakarta still hopes to maintain friendly relations with Seoul.

[list]How To Feed The World In The Modern Age[/list]
| The Benelux Federation's food products are consumed throughout the world. Automated machinery in the late 90s and early 2000s helped propel a country with a land mass smaller than the state of Virginia to become the worlds second-biggest food exporter after the U.S., with agri-food exports worth more than $100 billion back in 2019. Technologies such as the continuous automated pepper picker have proved consequential to the Federation's ability to keep up with the growing demand for food around the world. The robot is able to harvest a pepper in 15 seconds and is expected to be on sale for international farmers within the next three to four years. While humans can pick peppers quicker, the robots can work nonstop and overnight. They are just one of a wave of machines now taking over mundane farming tasks in the Netherlands, including harvesting, and fruit and vegetable picking, with almost $1 billion spent on innovation last year by the sector. |

| How can the Benelux ensure access to a sufficient supply of healthy, diverse, and safe foods for a growing global population while limiting the impact on the environment and coping with climate change? This is one of the key challenges of this century. Innovation in global agriculture is a central part of the solution. In the Federation, the solution is simple, climate controlled smart greenhouses. These greenhouses, which many experts say are the future of farming, are connected to solar panels which power the artificial lights within the individual greenhouses and their climate control systems. In addition, they are almost completely automated, meaning the monitoring of the cultivation of crops via drones, helps provide detailed readings on soil chemistry, water content, nutrients, and growth without the need of a human. Almost two decades ago, the Benelux made a Federal commitment to sustainable agriculture under the rallying cry "Twice as much food using half as many resources." Since 2000, the local farmers have reduced dependence on water for key crops by as much as 90% and almost completely eliminated the use of chemical pesticides on plants in greenhouses. Since 2009, the local producers have cut their use of antibiotics by as much as 60%. More than a quarter the Federation's land area is used for agriculture and horticulture. These greenhouses are a testament to Federation ingenuity and innovation. Some of them cover an area of 175 acres (0.7 km2). With 80% of cultivated land being under greenhouse glass, crops can grow around the clock and in every kind of weather in these climate-controlled farms. |
|The collaboration between academics and entrepreneurs is a key driver of Benelux innovation. The brain trust behind these impressive numbers is centered at Wageningen University & Research (WUR), which is considered the world's top agricultural research institution and is located 50 miles southeast of Amsterdam. Ernst van den Ende, managing director of WUR's Plant Sciences Group, points out the importance of sustainable farming and that the world must produce more food in the next four decades than all the farmers in history have harvested over the past 8,000 years to keep up with the ever growing global population and with it, the food they require. It is the hope of the Benelux to lead a new wave of agricultural innovation and insure that everyone around the world has the opportunity consume good quality and healthy food.|

[list][ Empress Esfir Diba ]: "Yes, Mr Kiir. I want Iran and Sudan to remain as very good allies, that were before. The disintegration of MECO was shocking but nonetheless, I believe in continuous development of Sudan as a state of future Africa and Middle East. I wish to propose the Sudanese-Iranian Alliance of Cooperation. Meaning that our states will continue to support one another, Iran will continue to help in any way financial, practical to develop Sudan in the rate it was developing in MECO. Furthermore, the pact will allow Iran and Sudan to continually be protected by one another in case of war. Iran will not let Sudan be thrown into the sharks of Africa and Middle East, you're an ally that has been standing by Iran for a long time and with that on my mind I cannot allow Sudan to be the target of anything anymore."

King Hussein of Jordan Blasts AFS Foreign Policy
___________
The young King of Jordan has proved mostly silent since relinquishing executive authority as King to Omar Razazz as Regent of Jordan, who also serves as Vice President of the Federacy. That silence changed shortly after the adoption of the Five Front Principle when the King accepted an interview with Jordan Radio and TV Corp. During the interview, he blasted the foreign policy, referring to it as complacency masked as action.
The interview started fairly normally, with interviewer Rana Husseini asking him routine questions about his life since retreating from public life, his marriage to Yasmine of Iran, and the prospect of a son. When the topic of rising Middle Eastern tensions was raised, however, the conversation derailed. Hussein expressed great concern at what has already been termed the Arab Arms Race and warned that A new cold war is coming to the Middle East, one that could lead to ruin for the region. When asked about the Arab States' place in this new conflict, Hussein took a solemn tone, sighing and stroking his beard. He responds:
[list] The Five Fronts Principle, though briefly adequate, is outliving its usefulness. Withholding action in the region was the right decision for the unstable political realignment in 2023 and 24. But with alliances emerging between Arabia and Iran, and Egypt and Galla? Riyadh and Tehran have been long-term partners of the Arab States and this cannot be forgotten. Iran helped create the safe, stable, Jordan we know of today. Saudi Arabia is a true friend to the Arab World. Will neutrality truly benefit Arabs in the long run? Or are we abandoning our partners? I think so.[/list]
By now the King is visibly upset, scowling and red in the face.
[list] And for what? To maintain ties with a tinpot dictator, a slave of foreign powers? Forgive me for suggesting that perhaps Abdel Fattah el-Sisi is not a man worth our time! Is this so crazy?... President Khalil is a dear friend of mine and the true defender of Pan-Arabism. But our foreign policy MUST adjust to the realities of the time. I implore him to reconsider things. That is all I have to say.[/list]
The interview ended soon thereafter in a notably tense tone. The clip blew up on social media, shared millions of times on Facebook and Instagram. It also sparked rumors of a personal rift between President Khalil and Hussein, who have been considered long-time allies and personal friends. In a press conference, Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi disavowed the statements saying, King Hussein does not speak for this Administration and his words do not constitute a stance on the part of the Arab States.

OOC: Why I haven't been posting
Just so you guys don't think I've quit or died I'm telling you that I'm sorry for not posting in 10 days. I already have a bad posting schedule even without having to also do schoolwork. The thing is that for like 2 weeks I've had this message from my phone saying that the File Limit was reached. So I haven't posted anything except for 1 or 2 new posts since then cause I thought my phone would die at any moment.
I'm going to get a new phone and do some other stuff to get rid of the problem soon. However, don't expect me to post anything for the next 3-4 days until I get everything back to normal. I actually have a document written on my school computer of a post, but the cable that was my only way to transfer stuff from my computer to my phone isn't working. I'm thinking of trying to ask the school administrators to let me share it with my phone.
So yeah, I'm sorry for not posting in so long and that I won't be posting for a few more days. I just wanted you guys to know all of that so you don't think I'm gone.

MINISTRY OF THE ARMED FORCES: FRENCH AIR FORCE UNVEILS DASSAULT MIRAGE X AND MBDA CRUISE MISSILES
[sub]VTH REPUBLIC | PARIS, 2024 [/sub][/list]
[sub]| HELM OF SÈCURITÈ, MINISTÈRE DES FORCES ARMÉES - | While France continues making strides in security related affairs and advancements in military hardware, a longtime emblem of French military might and symbol of firepower has come back to life over years of development and testing trials. Since 2017 the French aerospace industry Dassault Aviation has been working hard to produce a modern variant of Mirage fighter jet. It is no doubt a technological and military feat for the growing French military industrial complex. While it was originally thought of before the recent Eurofighter II came to life, it does accomodate many of the same features and capabilities such as the use of the Dassault nEUROn drones as remote carriers to increase mission effectiveness and survivability. The Dassault Mirage X was first debuted at the Paris Airshow back in 2020 but has since undergone several new tests and re-engineering of certain components. Its stealth capabilities have been unmatched by most of France's current aircraft including the Eurofighter II. The Dassault Mirage X is to enter active service following one more combat test, after which Dassault has already secured a 30 billion Euro contract to supply up to 200 aircraft to the French Air Force. The Defense Ministry is seen to favour the new domestically developed and produced aircraft over the multinational Eurofighter II project which is more expensive altogether. The new fighter will also utilize MBDA's new supersonic and subsonic joint strike cruise missile variants. | [/sub]

Scheffner is losing popularity. A reschuffle of Government seems to be approaching
BERLIN - [...] According to a new poll from FFZ, Scheffner lost nearly 12 points of popularity since her election in 2015. There are many reasons to explain it but a lot of it comes from successive Government mishaps and scandals not only internationally but also in national affairs. However, the opposition, mostly the SPD and DIE LINKE do not seem to find common ground to make any threat to a future reelection of Scheffner. A lot of rumors are now increasing of a possible Government reschuffle kicking out nearly 4 ministers with new ones.
MILITARY AND DEFENSE REVIEW
The German Army is losing interest. What to do ?
NUREMBERG - At the recruitment agency of the Bundeswehr in Nuremberg, the news are not good. Ulrich Basten shows the recruitment sheet for the year 2023. "Only 239 people got recruited this year for full time. A lot more reservists however with 1340 but still, it is extremely low". This sentiment is now accross the board for the Ministry of Defense. In just two years, the recruitment level fell by 12% with the German Army reducing its numbers from 650 000 to 510 000. At this rate, the Bundeswehr may go back as low as 230 000, a level not seen since 1965.
General Von Nielsen has expressed his anger about the situation calling Germans a "bunch of cowards and unpatriotic entitled millennials". But this anger backfired on social media in insults against what could be considered a hero of the modern German Army.
Greta Scheffner has also expressed her concern. "Clearly, we are seeing German society not understanding why the German army should be this high in numbers. The war society I had in 2015 is slowly leaving into a peace society which for us, is not justified".

Messerschmits new jet crashes on test flight in front of thousand of investors
BERLIN - It was shock beyond description this morning when a ball of fire erupted behind the trees of the runway of Schönfeld airfield. The MeC190 that was supposed to perform a test flight of 20mn crashed upon takeoff apparently stalling. The investigation has begun for the EASA but experts suggest pilot error and poor preparation rather than faulty aircraft design.

Treason at the Homeland?
Upon the recent announcement of the French Dassault X, the Imperial government felt outrageous with the French government. In the eyes of the Empire the French project used the knowledge produced for the Eurofighter II colaboration for the improvement of an aircraft that would only benefit the French but not all it allies. The situation get's worse as the announcement of the French military to favor the Dassault plane instead the European one. Many have pointed this as a treason of France against the European spirit.
With this in mind the Imperial government have officially deniunced France and Dassault in the Court of Justice of the European Union, accusing both of protectionist policies and illegal appropriation of technology and knowledge.

[list]| AL DIMAHSQ The Egyptian Government has announced the sequel to the October class missile boat: the Alexandria class missile/patrol boat. Egypt has a long history with missile boats, being the first ones to use it in combat, sinking an Israeli Destroyer with them during the war. However, with the growing naval industry, and the largest navy in the middle east, Egypt has decided to take the opportunity to create it. Arnaments include the Goalkeeper CIWS from Kewtpuff, Naval Strike Missile from Ocujan, and the CAMM from Pontianus. The project was secret until now, and this is the first public announcement. The construction in the Alexandria shipyard is soon to commence in the coming months. It is available for a price of 230-250 million USD. |[/list]
