Welp, I've graduated with my BA, but I don't know where I'll be living at the end of the month and I don't know where I want to go or what I want to do...

Oh, and I don't plan on using my degree either.

Quite a predicament...

THE IMPERIAL STATE; VIRNALL MOVEMENT

JAN. 2026

[pre]For over two millennia. The great nation of Iran had stood as a testimony of civilization. Successive Shahdoms reigned over this great and noble land. Great Shahanshahs had risen and fallen, had expanded the territory of the Empire across the known world, and whose culture and marvels remain spoken of to this day.

During the middle of this decade. Iran found itself coasting towards a direction not trotted down in almost a century. After decades of matriarchal monarchical rule, the successive rulers of Iran dominated culture, and the Iranian courts with a precision not seen since the great Shahanshahs of old. Iran became a symbol of modernity and forward thinking on domestic policies. The freedoms enjoyed here by both male and female was unparalleled in the rest of the Middle East. From the start of the matriarchal imperial dynasty towards its collapse, and the establishment of an equally matriarchal Republic, the prevailing and dominant culture had graced on the side of a matriarchy.

But that was only most true in the high noble courts of Tehran. A divided country between Zoroastrianism and Shia Islam, faith had grown to define the beliefs of the population. Zoroastrians favored the modern approach, while Shia Muslims remained torn between moderate and factions of the most faithful. The dominant culture could not last for long. Tehran’s matriarchal dominance was finally, after decades, swaying.[/pre]

The new republic was only in its cradle when the Virnalist coup was underway. The military high command was with it, so were conserative factions of the former imperial court. The only thing that gave the matriarchal system legitimacy was the imperial throne itself, and now that had been abolished. Centuries of the rule of the Shah came to an end, and the Virnalists would not allow it.

Reza Pahlavi, unlike the old Empresses, was a man deeply devoted to the Shia Muslim faith and once heir to the Pahlavi throne, self-exiled to escape the matriarchal hand of Tehran knew his time would soon come to restore Iran to a monarchy of principle, traditional values and restoring the unending continuum of the 2,500 year old Shah.

WILD CELEBRATIONS ACROSS SAHELIA AT THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE ABDULRAHMAN CALIPHATE

[list]The start of 2026 had been invigorating for Sahelians across the Emirate. Emir Usman had returned to the public eye after roaming the desert & then staying silent to strategise on the future of the Sahelia Emirate during 2025. Also, with Emir Usman in power people felt motivated by a fresh face on the throne that seemed enthusiastic about changing the life of the common Sahelian.[/list]

But nothing could’ve prepared the country for their long-awaited dream as the devout Muslims that Sahelians were, of the declaration of a Caliphate by a powerful Muslim country that owned the two holy cities of Mecca & Medina.

USAN Alzarikstan had always been a close ally & supporter of the Sahelia Emirate and vice versa. Prior to its formation, the Saudi royal family had been extremely close to the Muhammad clan that ruled Sahelia. Due to media censorship, a lot of Western films, song & books were banned in Sahelia but Arabian media had always been widely propagated across the country leading to Sahelians in general having a positive view of Arabians.

[list]So when Grand Emir Abdullah became Caliph & created the Abdulrahman Caliphate based on Islamic principles & Abdulrahmanism (which was studied by college-educated Sahelians but not implemented in Sahelia), cars came out on the streets on Sahelia’s towns & cities honking their horns, people screamed “Allahu Akbar” joyfully throughout the day & way into the night, neighbours gathered together to share meals & mosques filled to the brim nationwide as Imams spread the news to attendees & gave invigorating speeches about the power of Islam. Emir Usman himself was extremely surprised and also very satisfied, causing him to deliver the following speech which was broadcast to the Muslim world:[/list]

"Brothers & sisters of the Muslim world, peace be upon you & our beloved prophet, Muhammad.

[list]The declaration of the Abdulrahman Caliphate is a sign. It is a sign that Muslims everywhere should rise up and work towards improving our lives through education, cooperation & a commitment to peace and respect.

The Abdulrahman Caliphate shall act as a guiding light for the Muslim world, we shall stand against those who stand against the progression and safety of the Caliphate and I the Emir of Sahelia acknowledge Caliph Abdullah as the successor to the Prophet & the Guardian of the Faith here in Sahelia too.[/list]

As long the Abdulrahman Caliphate holds steadfast to the words of the Quran & the Sunnah of the Prophet, as long as the Abdulrahman Caliphate opposes tyrants, fights the oppressors and defends the faithful, we shall recognise the Abdulrahman Caliphate as the only legitimate Caliphate in the Muslim World.

[list]The Quran says Allah gives not a burden to us which we cannot handle, then let it be that the Abdulrahman Caliphate can handle carrying the weight of the Muslim World on its shoulders. We shall indeed help them carry it. "[/list]

The real controversial after-effect of the Caliphate’s announcement was the formation of a elite combat unit separate from the Sahelian Emirate called the Jihad Forces. These forces would be funded entirely with private money from USAN investors & a faction of the Sahelian wealthy elite that pledged deep allegiance to the Caliphate. The Jihad Forces would not answer to Emir Usman but to Caliph Abdulrahman himself, although the Emir did state that a cap on the number of Jihad Forces would be enforced at only 80,000 men. In addition, the Jihad Forces agreed to never show aggression towards Sahelia.

TOKYO, KANTO, HONSHU, Philanialle — MORNING

| In mid-2021, the Shinjiro Administration officially banned Huawei from the Japanese 5G network, where it was imposed that all Huawei telecommunications equipment had to leave the country by 2026. Currently under the Suga Administration, some rumors have surfaced in the media and networks that Suga would cancel this order that Former Prime Minister Shinjiro Koizumi issued while in power at the time, as it would be somewhat damaging to relations between Tokyo and Beijing, as both countries improved relations last year with Prime Minister Suga's visit to Beijing — But that would not change the fact that the Chinese government uses Chinese companies to obtain secret information from other countries, which worried Prime Minister Suga a little. In a meeting with the Cabinet, it was decided that this ban aimed at banning Huawei would be lifted and Suga would maximize the security of Japanese government information in order to prevent foreign companies from gaining access to Tokyo government information. |

[list][list][pre]| The Luxor Souk - سوق الأقصر |[/pre][/list][/list]

[sub]The Egyptian sun usually overbearing would be calmed due to the winter months with a temperature of 13C the Hisbah would arrive at the Luxor Souk in uniform consisting of an all black Jalabiyyah and an all black Kufi. Armed with AK-47s slung on their shoulder the patrol of the Souk would consist of 4 Hisbah Officers. Their patrol car would consist of a black Toyota pick up truck with the words “Islamic Morality and Guidance Hisbah” written in Arabic on the side panels. These four Hisbah officers were recruited from a Islamic extremist group that fought in the Sinai mountains for year, now they patrol the streets of Luxor, a city with a sizable Copt population that must be checked on constantly. The laws for Copts have become stricter ever since the revolution before Copts lead a good life with many working the higher paying jobs, but since the revolution many have been fired to bring in more Muslims to please the Supreme Imam and the local Hisbah to leave their businesses alone. Coptic sellers and shops would also have to identify their store is run by Copts using a Coptic Cross made out of any material in clear view of the public.[/sub]

[sub]The Hisbah has recently been told that a shop run by a Coptic man named Bishoi Stino has been selling alcohol to Muslims and not identifying his shop as being owned by a Copt. His store primarily sold imported soft drinks and snacks popular among the Egyptian populace. The Hisbah would tasked with searching the store and doling out the punishment they deem necessary.[/sub]

[list][list][pre]| Bishoi Stino’s Shop, Luxor Souk - متجر بيشوي ستينوز ، سوق الأقصر |

|12pm|[/pre][/list][/list]

[sub]After the end of Dhuhr prayer the Hisbah unit would make their way towards the shop noticing Bishoi did not close his doors for the prayer. They checked the front of his store searching for any Coptic Cross, but couldn’t locate any. They would now enter the shop.[/sub]

[sub]The Hisbah would enter the shop leading to most of the shoppers exiting the shop as to not interfere with the Hisbah’s investigation.[/sub]

| Officer Haji Assaf |: “Mr.Stino I assume you are prepared to answer some very important questions for us so we can be on our way and you can go back to your important work.”

|Bishoi would look up from behind his counter|

| Bishoi Stino |: “Uh sure sir I hope I can be of service I would like to see your time is not wasted.”

[B]| Officer Haji Assaf |: “First I must ask why you do not see it necessary to close your shop during prayer? Do you not respect your fellow Egyptian?”

| Bishoi Stino |: “Well I uh…”

[B]| Officer Haji Assaf |: “Secondly to that question, why do you not feel the need to mark this store as being owned by a Kafir.”

| Bishoi Stino |: “Someone must have stolen my cross. I swear I had it up. I must of not heard the call to prayer my apologies Officer”

|Officer Haji Assaf could smell the alcohol on his breath|

[B]| Officer Haji Assaf |: “You must take initiative to put up a new cross if something like that happens nonetheless, I will deal with those two issues later, I have reports that you are selling alcohol and none the less alcohol to Muslims.”

| Bishoi Stino |: “But I’m a Copt I’m not Muslim I’m allowed to sell it and drink it if I want.”

[B]| Officer Haji Assaf |: “Well since you don’t want to identify your store as being Kafir owned I will treat you as if you are a Muslim owner selling alcohol.”

[sub]An argument would soon erupt between Bishoi and Officer Haji soon the three other Officers would move from searching the store towards the argument to intervene. As they were getting closer all three of them racked their AKs making the distinct metal sound that sent a shock to Bishoi who immediately went quiet.[/sub]

[B]| Officer Haji Assaf |: “Good now show me where you keep it so I am less annoyed than what I already am when I decide your punishment.”

[sub]Bishoi would reluctantly show the Hisbah Officers to the cellar filled with bottles of wine and beer. Immediately the Hisbah would begin to bag up the bottles while Haji put handcuffs around Bishoi. Soon they would take him out of the market to the witness of all the eyes in the market. They would take him to an open wall and stand him up against the wall facing them. They would begin to then take the confiscated bottles and throw them at Bishoi in order to destroy the haram contraband. The bottles would smash all over Bishoi’s body covering him in gashes from the broken glass and covered in the alcohol. Once the 68 bottles were all destroyed and Bishoi was left on the ground the Hisbah would pick him to take him to the police stationed so he can be officially sentenced to about 3 months imprisonment for the crime of selling Alcohol.[/sub]

The convoy would be strafed heavily by the Sudanese A129 Mangusta knocked out 2 Urals. During these strafes due to their low altitude the A129 Mangusta’s would be fired upon by the NSV machine guns mounted on the Urals remaining. As they got closer to the barricade the forces commander would consult the map given to him. He identified a cluster of buildings 1.59km Northwest of the main intersection that would bring you into the town of Senouris. They would quickly disembark as fast as they were trained too and would quickly dismount the remaining eight NSV machine guns and set them up in the windows of the building clusters with 5 facing Senouris and having sight of the barricade. The remaining 3 NSV would be set to watch the perimeter of the building cluster now referred to as Halaib FOB 1 {Coordinates: 22°23’34”N 36°22’38”E} using rubble the force would set up the BGM-71 TOW to strike any Sudanese army that could attempt to counter the Halaib FOB 1. Defending Halaib FOB 1 would house a surviving force of 150. A ambush force of 15 highly trained Hisbah would be tasked with cutting off Sudanese reinforcements to Senouris by trekking through the Halaib Desert south of Halaib FOB 1 by 2.4 miles {Coordinates: 22°21’56”N 36°24’05”E} to another abandoned cluster of buildings. This ambush force would use their low profile as it being a small group to hike through the dried river beds to avoid detection by Sudanese forces. They would be armed with 2 M60EA light machine guns, 13 SIG 552 assault rifles, and 2 RPG-7 with PG-7VR Tandem Charge HEAT rockets to strike Sudanese vehicles attempting to reinforce the force in Senouris.

Halaib FOB 1 would be staffed with 35 defenders who would begin firing bursts of 10 rounds down range towards the Sudanese Barricade. Due to the range the bursts would be rather inaccurate but would mostly be used to suppress the barricade as 100 fighters would begin to push the town following behind the three YPR-765 PRI who would also fire upon Sudanese vehicles and defense structures will the 100 push behind them.

As Egyptian military officials received constant info on how the small force is progressing in the triangle the 68th Tactical Fighter Squadron would be readied to strike Sudanese military personnel along with a E-2 Blackhawk AEW&C to provide surveillance of the Halaib Triangle Coast and air for Sudanese naval and aerial movements.

[sub]- 68th Tactical Fighter Squadron numbers and armaments for the Halaib Strike mission -[/sub]

-15X F-16 Fighting Falcon in total-

-10X F-16 Fighting Falcons armed with M61 Vulcan Canons and 6 AIM-9 Sidewinder air-air missiles

-2X F-16 Fighting Falcons armed with M61 Vulcan Canons and 2 Harpoon Anti-ship missiles

-3X F-16 Fighting Falcons armed with M61 Vulcan Canons and 6 AGM-65 Maverick air-surface missiles

The 68th Tactical Fighter Squadron would

be tasked with gaining air superiority over the Halaib Triangle after receiving news of the Sudanese attack helicopters striking the convoy. With a top speed of Mach 2 {~1500mph} the 68th TFS would be able to reach the Halaib Triangle in a matter of minutes to intercept and take down the A129 Mangusta whose top speed is 219mph. Would be the target along with Sudanese surveillance helicopters for the 10 F-16 armed with Air-Air missiles.

The two F-16s armed with the harpoon anti-ship missile would use AN/APG-68 radar to detect the presence of the SNS-Kassala who would become the target of two 488lb warhead Harpoon Missiles. These two missiles would be fired approximately 85 miles away once the 2 F-16 armed with them reached the Airspace of Shalateen.

The ground support portion of the 68th TFS would begin search and destroy for all Sudanese Armor in the Halaib Triangle. This portion would be protected by the 2 Anti-ship F-16 as they have already fired two of their four missiles leaving them free to provide support for the anti-armor force. The 10 Anti-Air F-16 would soon once destroying the Sudanese helicopters as much as possible would regroup with the rest and they would patrol the skies of the Halaib Triangle.

As the 68th TFS would take off for their mission the 305th Mechanized Brigade stationed in Aswan would be mobilized to soon push into the Halaib triangle. While this would be the rapid deployment force for this conflict the 116th Mechanized Brigade and 117th Mechanized Brigade stationed in Assiut would begin move south once the 305th reached the Triangle.

- Numbers of the 305th Mechanized Brigade -

-5,000x Egyptian Army Ground Troops {Armed with M4A1 and AK-104 for rifles, Colt M1911 for the standard issue side arm, RPK and PKPs for light machine guns, and M40A3 for snipers} and accompanying transport trucks

-35x BM-21 MLRS

-100x M1 Abrams

-300x HMMWV

-50x T-90

-50x AT-14 Spriggan

The 305th Mechanized Brigade would take multiple days to make its way down south and would be heading for Shalateen to soon occupy the Halaib Triangle, but would be halted in Shalateen till the situation is clear.

THE BATTLE OF SENOURIS

After successfully taking out a confirmed hit on the two Ural Trucks taking about 20 or so fighters out, the machine gun fire against the first A129 would lead in the gunner being shot in the head as the pilot and the other A129 increased altitude. Within seconds from reaching a safe altitude, the First A129 would get hit by a sudden AIM-9 Sidewinder air-air missiles that sends the helicopter down in a ball of fire as it crashed into the sea not far from where the Kassala sat in the calm Red Sea waters. On board the ship, the crew would spot a

mysterious squadron of 15 F-16s entering Sudanese Air Space using the Selex ES RAN-30X/I (RASS) - MM/SPS-791 - multi-mode radar as they see two F-16s heading towards the ship. Fendy would report a distress call back to Dungunab on the sudden incursion on Sudanese Air Space. No less than 50km east of the Kassala were two other vessels of the Sudanese Navy, the FREMM class Frigates the SNS Jongeli and SNS Ouadi Kadja. Both vessels under the command of Captains Akui Deng and Gregory Wadi would receive the distress call of the Kassala as they change direction west towards the coast and headed at full speed of 27 knotts (35mph). The Ouadi Kedja would be armed with 16-cell MBDA SYLVER A43 VLS for 16 MBDA Aster 15 missiles and 16-cell MBDA SYLVER A70 VLS for 16 MBDA MdCN naval land-attack cruise missiles while the Jongeli would be fitted with an Otomat anti-ship and land attack missile with a 180km radius giving it the ability to directly fire on any further reinforcement attempting to enter Hala'ib. Both ships are prepared to engage the air squadron and any further attacks. Other vessels of the Sudanese Navy have been out on high alert.

As the Sun had risen on a burning Hala'ib, it has become clear to the Sudanese People and Government that there was no other entity responsible behind the attacks and incursion of Sudanese borders other than the Abassiyah Republic of Egypt. By 7am the Sudanese Parliament had convened in an emergency meeting where it had in its powers invoked the Territorial Preservation Amendment (TPA) which states that Sudan cannot gain or give up any territory within its borders unless given evidence of overwhelming support for gaining or cedeing land. And with the invoking of the TPA, the Sudanese Parliament had authorized war time powers to Prime Minister Mohamed Naji and the Sudanese Executive Cabinet to take out any further action necessary in the preservation of Sudanese territorial integrity. The Sudanese economy had switched gears to a war time economy following the Prime Minister's statment to the national press saying "this was a stab in the back to a brotherhood shared between Sudan and Egypt for centuries. We cannot allow them to impose extremism on the lives of the Sudanese people."

By 8am, the barricade near Senouris had been entirely lost but they have not went down without a fire fight as the SLAF officers had used all resources from the rifles to the machine guns to fight the encirclment. Along with the small defense force, 18 Sudanese soldiers and officers lost their lives fighting to their death as they were surrounded as the enemies would neutralize that barricade and make their way into the City of Senouris where people have been reported to flee. Local law enforcement has withdrawn from the area trying to help other locals escape the city through the port or by the beach. Another 6 pilots of the two A129 Helicopter and the SH-90. Other casualties include heavy damages to the SNS Kassala as 8 sailors are confirmed dead with 12 injured. The ship has lost mobility as a fire would erupt on its left side shutting it's systems. Though the ship is not sinking but is in need of immediate assistance.

Following the Kassala's distress call, it has become clear to military command that the Egyptian Air Force is attempting complete control of the Hala'ib air space promoting the Sudanese Army to activate 4 Bavar-373 Mobile Air Defence Missiles as they are deployed out of Port Dungunab. Within a few minutes on the Red Sea Highway, the Bavar-373 would be positioned at 4 numerous locations outside the Hala'ib contested area.

Locations:

1. 21°57'46"N 36°42'41"E

2. 21°59'06"N 36°39'16"E

3. 21°58'50"N 36°48'55"E

4. 21°59'29"N 36°44'01"E

The Bavar-373 made in Iran is able to detect up to 100 targets, track 60, and engage with 6 targets at the same time while locking on them within a 250km radius and being able to destroy them in a 200km radius and at an attitude up to 30km. Meaning that the 4 Bavar's would collectively have the ability to hit about 24 targets in total in an area larger than Hala'ib. Placing the Bavar-373 outside Hala'ib was a dare for Egypt to attack direct Sudanese soil which would make it an official declaration of war. As the 4 8x8 trucks spread out across the flat dry parts of the desert, they would station and ground themselves in the designated coordinates as they activate their long range surface to air missiles. Within seconds all 15 F-16s would be targeted and locked in by 3 of the the 4 Bavars while the last Bavar was in charge of detecting and destroying any incoming missiles attempting to neutralize the Bavars. All 3 would immediately fire one Sayyad-4 missile for each Egyptian jet in the sky as 15 missiles flew towards them at a speed of mach 8 (2,720 meters per second) with some missiles hitting their targets. Once the boys were confirmed, the SLAF Units prepare another barrage of 15 missiles.

However along with the Bavar's deployed to Hala'ib. The Sudanese Military had become aware that this will become a battle that will be won in numbers. The Military was aware that Egypt might send more reinforcements meaning that Sudanese Armed presence in the region was needed immideatly and fast. Thankfully, two Sudanese garrison with a total manpower of 2,000 has been stationed nearby, 800 Units in the tiny base of Oyo 54km south of Senouris and the other larger base with 1,200 Units located in Halayeb, 30km east of Senouris.

CAMP OYO, RURAL PART OF THE NUBIAN DESERT, RED SEA STATE

In oyo, 800 SLAF soldiers would stand out at the camp yard in full combat uniform and armed with Beretta AR70/90 Assault rifles and Beretta 92FS Semi-automatic pistols. They all stood in perfection and in full attention as the Sudanese flag flew in the wind from the pole in the middle of the yard, the Sudanese anthem would play. "We are the soldiers of God, soldiers of the nation, if the call was made for sacrifice, we shall not betray"

The first few lines of the anthem had installed a new wave of patriotic duty amongst soldiers. Inspired and determined to preserve the Sudanese black Republic that shall outlive numerous governments and regimes in Africa and the middle east. They would set out from oyo before the Bavar deployment in

x40 DShK Machine Guns

100 Technical non-standard tactical vehicle with DShK machine guns mounted onto the back of 40 of those 100 Toyota land cruisers, and another 20 would be armed with Breda Folgore Recoilless rifles all mounted while the renaming 40 cars would become the main transport of the garrison. The Oyo garrison would ride out from the base outside hala'ib and split into numerous groups of 20 as each follow any of the numerous dry river beds that leads them directly towards Senouris making it about a 90km long trip through the Nubian desert. The garrison might take hours or days to finally make its way out of the Red Sea mountain range as they get closer and closer to battle.

However at the Halayeb garrison, they are better prepared with mechanized weapons.

Halayeb Garrison under Commander Abass:

x1,200 SLAF Soldiers {Armed with Beretta AR70/90 Assault rifles, Beretta ARX160 Assault rifles, and Beretta 92FS Semi-automatic pistols}

x120 Technical non-standard tactical vehicles {Toyota Land Cruisers Pickup}

x80 DShK machine gun

x10 Persian Shah Armoured Carriers

x2 PASARS-16 self-propeled anti-aircraft weapon

The Halayeb Garrison would be immideatly deployed after the Bavar has engaged enemy F-16 in the hopes that in the midst of the confusion, they would not be able to target the Halayeb mechanized garrison. The first 60 Toyota trucks all fitted with the DShK machine guns would drive out of the base and immideatly scatter all over highway 65 at high speeds. The trucks would employ a zigzag maneuver to avoid enemy RPGs and rockets. The remaining trucks back in camp Halayeb bad been deployed along the coast line where they would then reach the town of Senouris.

The 2nd group consisting of 1,000 soldiers of the Halayeb Garrison entered Senouris, they would begin aiding local law enforcement to evacuate and shelter Sudanese citizens following the Red Sea State Governor's declaration of a state of emergency and mandatory evacuation in the northern parts of the Hala'ib-Dungunab District. The 2nd Group would immideatly set up barricades and hiding spots in the Windows and roofs of the town's east side in order to defend the area from further Hisbah insurgency on the restof the town. Commander Abyss had informed the units of being ready for a full out war as Intel suggests an increase in Egyptian re-enforcement and full out invasion of Hala'ib.

Port Dungunab Joint Naval And Air Base

Back in Dungunab, the Sudanese Armed Forces had prepared multiple units consiting of armoured and fighting vehicles ready for a full out clash with Egypt if they wish to continue their invasion of the Sudanese homeland.

1st Dungunab Brigade under General Zaeb:

x6,400 SLAF Soldiers {Armed with Beretta AR70/90 Assault rifles, Beretta ARX160 Assault rifles, and Beretta 92FS Semi-automatic pistols} and accompanying military trucks

x100 Karrar Tanks

x25 towed OTO Melara Mod 56 Pack howitzer by transport trucks.

x20 Centauro 155/39LW Self-Propelled Howitzer

x10 Puma 6x6 APC

The 1st Brigade would take a couple of days until it is fully prepared for the fight.

Until then the Bavar's shall attempt all abilities to keep Hala'ib free of Egyptian air superiority. The Sudanese Air Force had not yet attempted to counter the Egyptians in the the air given that Egypt could just as easily attempt to shoot down the Sudanese air force as well.

KHARTOUM DEMANDS EGYPTIAN WITHDRAWAL

As the Sudanese People still watched the war progress in the day, they would all look Prime Minister Mohamed Naji. The youngest leader of the Sudanese state caught in a state of war with Sudan's northern neighbour. It id unconstitutional for Sudan to let go of the Hala'ib triangle which would lead in his removal. But was the way really going to be an easy one?

Prime Minister Naji had provided a critical statement to the international community regarding Egypt's invasion of the Sudan.

[list]PM Mohamed Naji :| "The world's reaction to this illegal and agresive invasion of the Sudanese homeland has been nothing short of disappointing and disguising. For all this time the world had praised Sudan and looked at her with hope given the survival of its young democracy, yet they are silent and turned away at the very injustice taken out against our country. The world has been loud when it was Somaliland who got invaded, or Norway, or Lebanon. But god forbid when the country in control of the suez canal violates international law and the very sovereignty of our country. We demand the International community to support Sudan in reppeling this threat and cancer to this region, these extremists from our border. The Egyptians shall be reminded that their influence stops at Aswan and there is nothing but the open desert between us. I demand the International community recognizes that Hala'ib is and shall forever be Sudanese. I demand the International community to stop pandering to extremist and hostile regimes like the one in Cairo. I demand that Egypt withdraw its forces from hala'ib alive or we will send their sons in caskets. Rest assured our country will answer the call for sacrifice and that Victory will be ours inshallah. And may Allah find the right men to raise your sons and daughters."[/list]

YOSHIHIDE SUGA V. YOSHIMASA HAYASHI

| Although the general election for the House of Representatives are in 2027, a kind of “political struggle” is brewing in the National Diet, which could actually turn into a very impactful result in next year's elections. Precisely to secure his second term in the 2027 elections, Prime Minister Suga met with Toshihiro Nikai, 86, who is the powerful Secretary General of the LDP. On the other side would be Yoshimasa Hayashi, 64, who will be supported by Fumio Kishida, 68. Although Hayashi was a member of the House of Counselors for 30 years, in a press interview he stated, “My choice to run in the 2027 general election for the House of Representatives is a strategy for becoming Prime Minister of Japan” — As we all know here, no one can stop Yoshihide Suga, as far as the broad support Prime Minister Suga has gained among the Japanese population and most LDP members during his 2 full years of leadership (2023 — 2025), we'll see how things will be in the next 2 years, but that doesn't change the fact that Suga has his own opponents. Within the four walls of Parliament, a silent electoral war will last until the 2027 general elections — everyone wants power, but only those who deserve it will be chosen, they are Yoshihide Suga and Yoshimasa Hayashi. During that time, it's more than likely that there will be multiple attempts by both sides to try to take down the other opponent, that's how politics works. |

PALACE OF WESTMINSTER, WESTMINSTER, LONDON, Canovia — MORNING

[sub]With the Sunak cabinet being formed several weeks after Boris Johnson’s resignation, the Conservative government came under fire as Home Secretary Chris Philp revealed his National Security Database proposal — which would see the increase use of government surveillance to deter and reduce crime within the United Kingdom. Thousands within the streets of the United Kingdom’s major cities of London, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Cardiff and others stood in front of government buildings protesting the bill, calling it a “complete violation of privacy.”[/sub]

[list]NATHAN UMBRIDGE, Protestor: [sub]”This is a complete violation of our rights as citizens. The government has no right to watch us. We are entitled to our privacy. Before you know it, we will be like Communist China.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]Although thousands formed in the streets to protest the bill, some were also vocal in their support for the bill, calling it necessary to fight crime and ensure security for the British people.[/sub]

[list]BRENDAN MACDONALD, Supporter: [sub]”I believe this is a major step for the security of our nation. Sure, the bill is not perfect but I for one don’t mind it. Only people who have done wrong should be worried. The government does not care what you do unless it is a threat to our nation. Another 7th of July attack can be prevented if this bill is implemented. The bill has my support.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]The National Security Database Bill would consist of updating CCTV cameras throughout the United Kingdom and propose a face-identification programme to easier recognise potential suspects in crimes. Some protestors in the streets have said it goes against European Union values and a violation of human rights, while supporters call it a necessary bill to combat crime and terrorism — while also beneficial of supplying information to other EU nations of potential criminals.[/sub]

TURKEY COMPLETES SALE OF UCAVs TO EGYPT

FEBRUARY 2026

Owing to the friendly attitude of Turkey towards its southern partner, Turkey has today signed a deal to transfer 80 Drone Aircraft to the Egyptian Air Force over the next 8 month period. In total 20 Bayraktar Akıncı drones and 60 smaller Bayraktar TB2 will be transferred, with payment to be concluded over a period of 48 months in order to lessen the financial strain of the deal on the Egyptian Government and provide more affordability. The sale comes as a greater initiative by Turkey to expand relations with Egypt, especially in the sphere of Military development and cooperation which would no doubt benefit both in the long run. There remains no illusion in the eyes of the Turkish Government that these Drones wont be utilized against Sudan however, a rather obvious target for unmanned platforms, however given the States preference for Egypt over Sudan it believes the benefits outway the risks involved.

Due to both Platforms being designed and used with entirely Turkish munitions in mind the Military-Industrial Complex has additionally advertised the spread of Turkish Drones as a long-term investment as where the Drones go, the Turkish Munitions will have to follow.

I can say that this will greatly benefit many citizens by having one more transportation option so that they can travel between Tokyo and Osaka . . . I am also pleased to announce that I will be the first passenger to board this maglev on the opening day of this line—haha.”[/list]

[list]| [sub]YOSHIHIDE SUGA, The Prime Minister[/sub] | “It will really be an important milestone that we will reach in my Administration with regard to transportation.”[/list]

| The Prime Minister Suga, before continuing to speak to journalists, grabbed a glass of water and drank. It was noticed that Suga was a little tired due to the numerous state problems, but Prime Minister Suga was even excited about this maglev. |

| Sultanate of Turan | January 2026|

Prominent privately organized militant groups pledge to serve the interests of the Abdulrahman Caliphate

Prominent militant non-state actors in Turan independently recognize Caliph Abdullah bin al-Hussein Abdulrahman I, including two of the most well known in the region who go further than just recognition. The Tajik Qizilbash and Uzbek Xudoning qo'li both pledged loyalty to the Abdulrahman Caliphate and expressed willingness to cooperate with the military apparatus of the Union-States of Arab Nations if called upon and/or during times of Jihad following the formation of the Abdulrahman Caliphate and it’s subsequent recognition by the Turani government.

The Qizilbash roughly translating to Red Head, taken from the warrior group of the same name is a militant group formed by former Major General Abduhalim Nazarzoda, an ethnic Tajik who fought alongside Sultan Aslan R'as-Kuzma around Kabul in 1983 during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan under then Major now Colonel and Ataman of the Zhus Cossacks Boris “Black Major” Kerimbaev’s 177th Spetsnaz Detachment 22nd Special Purpose Brigade known as the 2nd Muslim Battalion. The group comprises almost exclusively ethnic Tajik volunteers and operates mostly in Southern Tajikistan out of the Shamsiddin Shohin District.

The Xudoning qo'li (Xudoqoli) or Hand of God inspired by the flag of the former Emirate of Bukhara, is an ethnic Uzbek militant group based in the Holy City of Bukhara and loosely affiliated with talib of the Mir-i Arab Madrasah, the group is alleged to have been founded by foreign based Uzbeks and/or staff within the Spiritual Administration for the Muslims of Central Asia.

Secret

Although outwardly presenting themselves as independent entities pledging loyalty to an outside power both groups, just as any other notable militant force in Turan, are propped up by the Ministry of Interior on behest of the ruling New Turk Party and are a fundamental instrument of the Turani intelligence and defense communities, acting as capable but most importantly loyal volunteer proxy armies with enough perceived autonomy to give the Ministry of War much needed plausible deniability to direct undesirable attention away from them. The groups’ loyalties lie solely with the establishment in Turan and would only actually follow the will of the Caliph if the New Turks deem it either inconsequential or outright beneficial to their regime. Additionally both groups are backed by oligarchs with New-Turk ties and organized gangs involved in the trafficking of Opium across the Turan-Afghan border which runs along the Emirates of Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan.

National Shura Council on Energy Announces Completion of Major Solar Farm in Qatar, Oman, and Saudi Arabia

مجلس الشورى الوطني للطاقة يعلن عن الانتهاء من أكبر مزرعة للطاقة الشمسية في قطر والمملكة العربية السعودية

[sub]Caliph Abdullah bin al-Hussein Abdulrahman I Administration | ABU DHABI, 2026 [/sub][/list]

[sub]| ALMUDIRIAT ALEARABIAT ALEULYA - المديرية العربية العليا | Chairman of the National Shura Council on Energy Suhail al-Mazrouei has officially announced the completion of both the Al Kharsaah Solar Power Plant Farm in Qatar as well as the Sakaka Solar Farm in Saudi Arabia, demonstrating the effectiveness of technological ingenuity and the incorporation of greener energy into the arsenal of energy resources to advance the Caliphate. The Al Kharsaah solar farm is Qatar's first large-scale solar power plant with a full capacity of 800MW. Al Kharsaah will be responsible for providing sustainable, clean and affordable energy to different industries, organizations and individuals. Located in the Al Kharsaah area of Qatar, this solar power plant is built on 1,000 hectares of land at approximately US $500 million and is equipped with 2 million bifacial solar modules/panels that have trackers to allow substantial power gains and will take advantage of the remarkable amount of sunlight received in Qatar (average daily sunshine is around 9.5 hours). It uses double-sided photo-voltaic (PV) panels that have the capacity to absorb sunlight reflected by the ground onto their rear side. These panels are more suitable for places with high reflection efficiency such as deserts, snowfields and water surfaces. According to Chairman al-Mazrouei, Bifacial solar modules are a smart, efficient way to harness even more of the sun’s energy; typically 11-20% more energy is captured as compared to energy from traditional PV panels.[/sub]

[sub]On the other hand, the Sakaka Solar Farm is capable of generating 3.45GW of renewable energy as well as 9.5GW of carbon-free power generation. To further these advancements, the National Shura Council on Energy and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia have agreed to power purchase agreements with seven new solar projects that will provide electricity more than 600,000 households. The new projects, in addition to the new Sakaka solar and the Dumat al-Jandal wind projects, will possess more than 3,600 megawatt in capacity.[/sub]

[sub]The final major accomplishment is the Ibri II Solar PV Independent Power Plant Project, which is a 500 mega-watt greenfield solar photovoltaics power plant in Ibri, Oman which is developed by Shams Ad-Dhahira Generating Company SAOC. The goal is to increase the availability of the renewable power generation capacity and improve the balance between supply and demand during the peak hours in Oman’s Main Interconnected System grid which serves Muscat and northern Oman in addition to reducing the dependence on gas and other fossil fuels for electricity generation and move to a more balanced and environmentally sustainable energy mix.[/sub]

EMIR USMAN ANNOUNCES CONTROVERSIAL “SAHELIA INTERNATIONAL” CAMPAIGN, TRADITIONALISTS IN UPROAR

[list]Since its foundation in 1964, the Sahelia Emirate has stuck to a hardline isolationist policy, staying out of global geopolitics and generally shielding its economy from foreign multinationals & unregulated foreign investment. Furthermore, no Sahelians are allowed out of the country without special permission nor are foreigners allowed into the country without special permission. The country’s borders are heavily patrolled with barbed wire fences & watch towers having been built across its northern & eastern border since the 60s.[/list]

While there have been exceptions in the form of special deals with Paramerica Paramountica, France Metropolitan Francais & USAN Alzarikstan over the past few decades, Sahelia in general has never been a country well-suited to the global economy and international investment. This mainly due to the influence of traditionalist Islamic scholars in the Consultative Council that managed to sway previous Emirs in favour of rigid isolationism.

The Sufi Imams of the Consultative Council however, have always proposed a relaxation of the isolationist policy at least with regards to the economy. With the new Emir being the 37 year old, Usman Muhammad, a visionary and strong student of Sufi Islam, it seems they have finally been able to get their demands met.

Emir Usman therefore recently announced to the shocked people of Sahelia that the country needed to make its economy international. As a result, the Emir would be sending his cousin Prince Abdelaziz-Shah Muhammad, the new Foreign Minister, to the world to establish new economic ties. He would also be relaxing regulations on foreign investment, tariffs & the insane taxes that once discouraged foreign multinationals from operating in Sahelia in the past.

Nevertheless, Emir Usman did cave into the demands of outraged traditionalist scholars who stated that special permission requirements to enter & leave the country should remain intact.

Instead, Special Economic Zones would be set up & foreign nationals travelling to those Special Economic Zones would be more likely to receive permission to enter the country.

[list]"Sahelia needs to develop new residential, communications & transport infrastructure, new power grids, new business activity & new educational institutions. We are rich in mineral wealth yet we have not used our uranium, coal, iron, gold & phosphates properly. With foreign investment, we can jumpstart our economy and perhaps see significant results by 2030-2035. This is not a journey to be undertaken alone"said Emir Usman at the Bamako Palace Annual Public Conference.[/list]

Maghrebi Politics React To The Abdulrahman Caliphate (Alzarikstan)

February, 2026

Casablanca, Republic of Maghreb

_____________

The emergence of a legitimate and power leader of the Muslim World has sent rippling waves through Maghrebi society, government, and politics. Almost every voice in Maghrebi society has spoken on the matter, from the King himself, to military leaders and Islamic clerics. With Parliamentary elections just two months away, it has challenged parties, coalitions, and voting demographics. Now in the gunsights of some is the very nature of Maghreb’s secular government.

The first shift came from the League of Maghrebi Imams, an organizations that coordinates outreach, expands muslim values, and helps fund mosques and mosque activities. The majority of Imam’s in Maghreb work with the League. In a statement signed by over 400 Maghrebi Imams, the League recognized the Caliph as legitimate, honoring his religious authority and calling on all Muslims to do the same. A similar call was then made by a much more significant voice: King Mohammad VI. Breaking secular custom, Mohammed addressed the nation on state TV and spoke on religious matters. Invoking his authority as Amir al-Mu’minin (Commander of the Faithful), Mohammed endorsed Caliph Abdulrahman both as a private citizen and as King of the Berbers. He stated that Abdullah was the legitimate descendant of Hussein bin Ali and therefore rightful King of the Arabs. Both Mohammad and Abdulrahman are descendants of the Prophet Muhammad, therefore being distantly related. The speech had perhaps an even greater effect on the Maghrebi people then did Caliph Abdulrahman. The Caliph had compelled Mohammed to break the secular attitude the monarchy had taken for nearly thirty years. The Maghrebi people responded in kind, celebrating their King and their Caliph. A practically spontaneous parade was held in Casablanca, and across the country people displayed a fervent religious joy in the unification of the Muslim world.

But the rise of the Caliphate betrayed something in Maghrebi politics, something that some would much rather ignore. It demonstrated to the people the disconnect between the common man and the political establishment. Islamist and conservative parties applauded the actions of the King, joining the citizenry in celebrating the Caliph. Yet the minority progressive and liberal parties reacted negatively for a number of reasons. They criticized the King’s breaking of political convention and some even went so far as to accuse Mohammed of betraying the constitution. In that moment, in the course of a few days of interviews, comments, and speeches, the entire Maghrebi political scene lurched to the right. The credibility of left and center parties imploded under the weight of religious fervor. No politician could dare to criticize the Caliph and keep their career intact. With that, a conservative Islamist victory in the April elections was all but secured.

TOKYO, KANTO, HONSHU, Philanialle — MORNING

| In mid-2021, the Shinjiro Administration officially banned Huawei from the Japanese 5G network, where it was imposed that all Huawei telecommunications equipment had to leave the country by 2026. Currently under the Suga Administration, some rumors have surfaced in the media and networks that Suga would cancel this order that Former Prime Minister Shinjiro Koizumi issued while in power at the time, as it would be somewhat damaging to relations between Tokyo and Beijing, as both countries improved relations last year with Prime Minister Suga's visit to Beijing — But that would not change the fact that the Chinese government uses Chinese companies to obtain secret information from other countries, which worried Prime Minister Suga a little. In a meeting with the Cabinet, it was decided that this ban aimed at banning Huawei would be lifted and Suga would maximize the security of Japanese government information in order to prevent foreign companies from gaining access to Tokyo government information. |

A “FANTASTIC” SUCCESS FOR HUAWEI, BUT NUMEROUS CHALLENGES REMAIN

[list]

[sub]

》 HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO. LTD 一 Having been banned in all forms outright from certain countries, suffering a heavily damaged reputation among consumers in the West, significantly scaled-back international 5G network operations, and still performing relatively average among most competitors internationally, the news of Japan's reversal of the ban on Huawei from Japanese 5G networks may not have been as much of a fantastic success for Huawei in the grand scheme of things. [/sub]

[sub]While Huawei continues to dominate the Chinese market in telecommunications equipment and consumer electronics, and has successfully adapted to become less and less dependent on other companies, such as by manufacturing its own series of chipsets [launched in 2022], Huawei as it is sits in an awkward position among international markets. In many Western countries, Huawei has at minimum lost a competitive edge in all of its business. Its cutting-edge telecommunications equipment and consumer-level electronics [smartphones, tablets, laptops, wearables, etc.] have in many cases been shunned or completely banned. In the developing world and beyond, Huawei has performed adequately, but still faces challenges, largely due to the success of several rival companies. One particular area Huawei continues to invest in is its own-developed operating software [built to thwart Huawei's dependence on Google-owned Android], HarmonyOS, which is still locked in an upward battle to achieve somewhat mainstream use.[/sub]

[sub]All in all, Huawei must continue to innovate and adapt at the highest pace possible if it wishes to achieve a renewed global reach. While that may be easier said than done, Huawei has certainly proven itself to be very capable of overcoming and excelling past barriers. The removal of Japan's barriers on Huawei, while unlikely to be very game changing in their own right, may still set a precedent for other Western countries and consumers; After countless denials, countless press releases, and countless statements, all made to clear Huawei's name, and after countless future-making technological breakthroughs and successes, it is simply ridiculous to deny the greatness of Huawei and all its has to offer.[/sub]

New infrastructure projects launched in Equatorial Guinea with investments from Lemlar, Metropolitan Francais

| The Spanish government has announced the launching of several new infrastructure projects in the mostly infrastructure-deprived Spanish Autonomous Department of Equatorial Guinea with investments from both Poland and the French Republic. These new initiatives include road upgrades and the establishment of a reliable, cheap, and regularly-maintained public transit system which includes regular bus routes throughout the city of Malabo, the capital of the autonomous department, and an estimated three daily routes to and from Malabo and Luba, the Equatorial Guinea's in-development main sea and trade port. A second phase to construct a modernized underground subway system in Malabo is also in its preliminary planning stage, but no set completion date has been set, nor any funds allocated for its construction. |

| In partnership with Lemlar, a $2 billion project to upgrade road infrastructure in the Equatorial Guinean of Malabo is slated to begin soon. This road infrastructure upgrade project is accompanied by a $50 million bus transit system for Malabo. According to official remarks, the Poles have agreed to contribute $1.025 billion dollars to the two projects with the Spanish Government agreeing to contribute the remaining $1.025 billion. Economists and diplomatic representatives to Equatorial Guinea praised the initiative as 'a first step to achieving the goal of long-term Equatorial Guinean economic and financial stability in its daily processes', while the Spanish Foreign Ministry saw it in a different light, calling the new joint collaborative project 'a sign of the growing friendship between Spain and Poland'. |

| Meanwhile, with the securing of a $5 billion dollar investment from Metropolitan Francais, the Spanish Government has begun her efforts to design, plan, and eventually construct the autonomous department's first sustainable, eco-friendly, and eco-focused housing complex which plans to hold between 1,000 to 1,500 permanent residents. While the plan remains in its early design stages, it is expected that between three to four of these complexes will be built as pathfinders ahead of the Torres administration's planned unveiling of their public housing program in Equatorial Guinea. The investment from France will also be utilized to organize a Malabo city cleaning campaign, modernize streetlights, and bolster the police force to ensure local peace and security. |

Official Statement of the Caliphate Regarding the Maghreb

بيان رسمي من الخلافة بخصوص المنطقة المغاربية

[sub]Caliph Abdullah bin al-Hussein Abdulrahman I Administration | ABU DHABI, 2026 [/sub][/list]

[sub]| ALMUDIRIAT ALEARABIAT ALEULYA - المديرية العربية العليا |[/sub]

[list][list][pre]All praise is due to Allah, We worship Him, We seek His help and His forgiveness, and we turn to Him in repentance. We seek refuge in Allah from the evil within ourselves and from our ill deeds. Whoever is guided by Allah can not be led astray, and whoever goes astray cannot be guided. As-salamu alaykum. The sun of unity and solidarity shines bright upon the people of the Maghreb and the Peninsula as extended kin within this relationship molded by Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala the Lord of the Universe. The recent declaration from King Mohammad VI is part of the current domino effect regarding the recognition of the Caliphate as the legitimate authority within the Muslim World and sole successor of the lineage and political-spiritual foundations of the Prophet Muhammad, Peace Be Upon Him, and the Rashidun Caliphate. It is in this understanding that the Abdulrahman Caliphate hereby recognizes, supports, and accepts the position of King Mohammad VI, my distant cousin and mutual descendant of the Prophet Muhammad, Peace Be Upon Him, as the King of the Berbers within his position as Amir al-Mu’minin. The Qur'an preaches that we must hold fast, all together, by the rope which God stretches out for you, and be not divided among ourselves; and remember with gratitude God’s favor on us; for we were once enemies and He joined our hearts in love, so that by His Grace, we became brethren; and we were on the brink of the pit of Fire, and He saved us from it. God has made His Signs clear to us: That we may be guided. Whoever prays like us and faces our Qibla and eats our slaughtered animals is a Muslim and is under Allah’s and His Apostle’s protection. So do not betray Allah by betraying those who are in His protection.

The Islamic Spring that continues to manifest itself from the Atlantic Ocean to the deserts of Central Asia is not by coincidence and cannot be observed isolated from each other. What is transpiring is the uplifting and awakening of the people of Allah in defiance to historical constructed precedence as we acknowledge our present situation in attempts to mold our future endeavors. It is with this, that I am humbled and surely accept the recognition from the Berbers. For those in the Maghreb that protest, I understand that change can be scary, which triggers your response of fear and disapproval but listen. Allah’s Apostle said, “Beware of suspicion, for suspicion is the worst of false tales. and do not look for the others’ faults, and do not do spying on one another, and do not practice Najsh, and do not be jealous of one another and do not hate one another, and do not desert one another. And O, Allah’s worshipers! Be brothers!” Do not be suspicious of the intentions and sincerity of King Mohammad VI nor the popularity of the Islamic parties. Be Brothers. Be Sisters. Be a family as we are all under the protection and love of Allah. Infighting and turmoil is not the path to Righteousness.

May God Bless[/pre][/list][/list]

"L'ITALIA RESPIRA ANCORA / ITALY BREATHES AGAIN" - WITH DECLINE OF THE DPMU COMES A REBIRTH OF ITALIA AND AN END TO EMPIRE

https://youtu.be/HNVwV0xWXdY?t=12

FEBRUARY 2026

As the last years witnessed a steady decline in support for the Democratic Party of Monarchist Unity and what was ultimately an Absolute Monarchy headed by Emperor Augustus Amedeo I, a growing block of mostly Conservative and Moderately left-wing Groups had come forward at the start of December of 2026 demanding what was to be a "fair" and "true" electoral referendum. That referendum which was begrudgingly agreed to by Amadeo I took place three days ago on the first of February and has led to a result which the Monarch described as "A Disappointing and Disheartening loss". A final betrayal was the cause of the Emperor's pure demoralisation however, as some members of his own Party (DPMU) had defected to the opposing Christian Democratic Centre and their so called "Republican Bloc". The move and change of itself was born out of the Imperial Federations vast focus on both the Military and the Arms Sector throughout the past decade, leading to a decreased handling of issues closer to the hearts of the Italian People, an issue which was inflated by the Covid-19 crisis and after said crisis continued to become more apparent. Prime Minister Maria Elisabetta Casellati was forced to accept the change, herself not just surprised but almost in a way unwilling to hand over the power both her Party and the Emperor had held onto so tightly throughout the past decades.

Winning a total of 63.18% of the vote, the Republican Bloc (itself made up of the Christian Democratic Centre, Party for Justice, Integration and Unity & National Alliance along with moderate members of the Democratic Alliance & Democratic Party of Monarchist Unity itself) snatched victory from the hands of the DPMU which in polls had shown a slight plurality. The resulting coalition however was boosted with members of the Democratic Alliance and defecting members of the DPMU, sending them above a majority for the first time in years. Most shocking was the move of the National Alliance to tag itself onto the Bloc, something that was unexpected given their far-right nature and Euroscepticism. But this wildly diverse Bloc will no doubt prove difficult to keep together in the future, especially since they have only banded together to implement short term changes.

Headed by Independent Mario Draghi due to their vast differences (having chosen the independent Draghi as a figure of compromise) the Bloc has promised sweeping changes from the former Imperial structure, one of which was signed into power today only three days after the conclusion of the Electoral Referendum. Not only is a restructuring of the Nation on the books, with an official abolishment of the Monarchies influence and control over the Government, which in De Jure and De Facto terms led to Italy being reformed as the Repubblica Italiana / Italian Republic. The Monarchy, now officially no longer in even Constitutional control of Italy, has been promised an annual stipend of funding and ceremonial roles in Government however their days of ruling the Nation are no doubt over. Formally speaking the territories of Albania, Croatia and Slovenia are to be granted more sweeping freedoms, being Provinces of the Republic rather than official members of any "Federation".

[list]FORMAL CHANGES AND REFORMATIONS TO THE NATION

- The Monarchy is stripped of its official role in governing the State, reduced to a ceremonial role outside of Government. Funding of the Monarchy shall be reduced to a small stipend considered sufficient to maintain a reduced portfolio of properties

- With the removal of the Monarchy in an Official capacity, the State de-facto reverts to the Title of Repubblica Italiana / Italian Republic, with the Federal Parliament to be reformed into the Senate of the Republic. The Senate shall exist as the sole level of National Representation & Implementation, rather than a Senate+Parliament System.

- Mario Draghi is declared Prime Minister, with a President to be declared at a later date

- The Territories of Albania, Slovenia and the Coastal Regions of Croatia shall now be considered the Provicinal States of Italy. Retaining their own Regional Governments with almost complete autonomy, Italy shall continue to represent them within the European Union. Slovenia itself shall have the western portions of its territories redrawn to better represent the former Italian ownership of said land (as portrayed here: https://i.imgur.com/JmpmDsr.png). All three of these Provinces shall exist in a special status similar to that of the Isle of Man, which retains its own government separate from the United Kingdom and only shares Foreign Policy, Trade and Defence along with some other law enforcement areas.

- The Imperial Council is Officially disbanded, to be replaced by a proper Cabinet of elected Officials from the respective Parties of the Republican Bloc

- Pending implementation, Italy shall endure to replace all existing Representatives to the European Union by July of 2026, with regional elections to be called for new MEPs

- Italy has reaffirmed its commitments to remain within the European Union, and cooperate closely with its colleagues within the Union on implementing those changes that would affect the Nations membership Treaty

- Forze armate italiane / Italian Armed Forces shall endure to remove all Roman-esque references and classifications in order to return Italy to a more "modernist" status

- The Republican Bloc has made an official pledge to conduct efforts in opening up more of the Italian Economy, and reducing certain areas of protectionism[/list]

DAILY PRESS BRIEFS

POLITICS

Die Zeit - Markus Flemming wins CDU presidency by large margin

[list]"The candidate for Saxony was pleased with the results and promised to start negotiations of the Treaty of Kahla as soon as possible [...] Flemming has repeatedly confirmed his will to increase funding in defense. "Germany is the only country that has not increased its commitment compared to Spain or France. This cannot be accepted"[/list]

Frankfurter Allgemeine - Could this be the moment for the extreme right ?

[list]"[...] Since the fall of the ex-SGRI, the hour of glory of the extreme right has indeed seemed to fall. The era of Germanophobia and extreme hostilities against Germany and Western Europe had been the basis of a more nationalistic and militaristic Germany for the Deutsche Partei. But this basis doesn't exist anymore and the European Union continues to show an impressive improvement in its foreign policy capabilities. [...] The economic progress of Germany has also played against a ressurgence of nationalistic tendencies in Germany. At least for now."[/list]

WORLD

International Berlin Tribune - Italy decides for a new path Ranponian

[list]"[...] All Empires do fall, or transform. This was the case yesterday as the Italian people voted to move to a Republic. The Italian Empire did however stand with time and its place in history is surely secured. The German Government did not make any comments, as per diplomacy rules. Scheffner did applaud the democratic process in which this transformation was made."[/list]

International Berlin Tribune - As France and the UK invade privacy, where is Germany ? - Metropolitan Francais / Canovia

[list]"[...] Something not noticed in Germany. Since 1949, the Republic has put a strong emphasis on privacy and liberty. The days of the DDR increased even more such fundamental concepts as individual freedom. Chancellor Scheffner had been interviewed on the possbility of such drastic measures as facial recognition obligations. She answered promptly "We are not going to do this. This country will not monitor 24/7 its citizens. This is not how we do things. Monitoring should be done only where an investigation is open. So no, people can pay in cash, by card, or by facial recognition. But this face information is not accessible to the Government" [...] The Constitutionnal Court of Germany (Bundeverfassungsgericht) published an Ordonnance in which it went firmly against such measures. "It is clear, that according to the constitution, such measures are disproportionnate to the objective pursued and as such, would be unconstitutionnal and constitute a grave violation of the right to private life". [/list]

International Berlin Tribune - RSSO and EU cooperation seems to work smoothly - Alzarikstan

[list]"The Dutch Cargo ship from Vietnam moves slowly into the surveillance area. But compared to other cargo ships of which a large part are of the European Union, some get escorted by RSSO vessels. "We were escorted by the SCA Abdullah I bin Al-Hussein. It was very professionnal. The Dutch Navy informed us they were still escorting another Spanish cargo and therefore, an USAN ship was available for us. Its very pleasing to see such professionnal cooperation without all the politics behind." [...] Four months after its start, the cooperation of both entities has been going smoothly. Three ships of the EU currently escort and secure vessels of the EU but also sometimes RSSO ones and vice versa. "Its a model of international cooperation we want to keep having elsewhere" says European Council President Thorsten Limburg. [...] As the Dutch cargo leaves the Red Sea, it felt assured that war between Galla and Egypt was not going to affect them.[/list]

LOCAL

Dresdner Informant - On the fields, Germans are not willing to do picking.

[list]Christian Busneck is desperate for harvesting season. [...] His field of grapes (not many however) are missing workers "Normally we have students or people just willing to make a quick cash. But now, there are just not enough". [...] The trend grows in other sectors than just agriculture. Manufacturing jobs and blue collar jobs are slowly being deserted despite all strategies to counter this effect. "Too many people are going to university" says Alexander Schmidt, Minister of Education. [...] Busneck now employs Polish and Vietnamese mostly. But it is something he regrets. "I don't want to see Germans losing their interest in jobs that are useful to their own people." The Minister of Education and Greta Scheffner have once again prepared a plan to encourage Germans in going to more practical jobs that have their equal merits.[/list]

______________

Spanish Government pledges to make Equatorial Guinea fully dependent on renewable sources of energy by 2035

| Incumbent Spanish Prime Minister Augustina Torres's term has been somewhat characterized by moving the Spanish state towards a state of full and absolute dependence on renewable sources of energy that have no detrimental effects on the environment and the atmosphere. The Prime Minister passed landmark clean energy legislation through the Spanish Cortes - the Kingdom's legislature - in 2024. She also continued to express her strong support for the renewable energy push in Spain when she attended the opening of phase 1 of Paramerican company Tesla's Giga Madrid megafactory outside the Spanish capital. Her most recent bids to continue the Kingdom of Spain on this push for full dependence on renewable energy has been exhibited in her Government's recent pledge to make Equatorial Guinea 'fully dependent' on renewable sources of energy 'such as solar, hydroelectric, and wind power' by the year 2035. |

| During a live public conference between top proponents of a work-in-progress (WIP) bill aimed at cutting down and imposing limitations on the purchasing of non-electric vehicles and members of the Ministry of Energy and the Ministry of the Environment, both Cabinet-level ministries in the Spanish Government, Prime Minister Augustina Torres, in agreement with the other members of her delegation, namely Deputy Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, People's Party president Cayetana Alvarez de Toledo, and Interior Minister Ione Belarra, pledged 'on behalf of the Government of the Kingdom of Spain' that 'additional efforts will be done to make Equatorial Guinea fully dependent on renewable sources of energy by 2035'. |

| The Prime Minister's speech met jubilant support from environmentalists and ecologists in the country and in Equatorial Guinea, as the latter had been trying - and failing - to push landmark restrictions and added taxes on coal and fossil fuel power plants. The Prime Minister's pledged generated additional positive ripples throughout the country thanks to her subsequent announcement - made two days after the conference - that Equatorial Guinea will be receiving 'priority' in terms of Spanish Government investments that came packaged with the Torres administration's work-in-progress clean energy bill. Equatorial Guinea's native president voiced his support for 'Madrid's noble initiative'. |

| During another subsequent press conference on the status of Equatorial Guinea's energy industry, Prime Minister Torres outlined her and the Spanish Ministry of Energy's plans to develop the renewable energy sector in the autonomous department. The Prime Minister stated that the Spanish Government and Spanish energy companies will be investing 'somewhere between $4 billion to $7 billion' into Equatorial Guinea's renewable energy sector over the next two years, with plans to construct a hydroelectric dam, two solar farms, and a wind farm, with the first being on the African mainland portion of Eq. Guinea while the remaining two will be on the island of Bioko. Prime Minister Torres also briefly touched on allocating a portion of investments from Metropolitan Francais to the renewable energy push in Equatorial Guinea, but did not make any firm commitments. |

| It is expected by many that Equatorial Guinea will be receiving strong support from the Spanish Government on expanding the local renewable energy, housing, and infrastructure sectors and industries over the next five to ten years. While local support for the Government's projects in the Spanish autonomous department is certainly numerous, local legislators elected to Equatorial Guinea's autonomous National Assembly are reportedly drafting a joint request to the Spanish Government in Madrid for funds to establish an Equatorial Guinean 'national guard' and equip such a guard with modern arms and vehicles. |

REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES | REPUBLIKA NG PILIPINAS

[list]| President Benigno Aquino III passes Honor Code Educational Act | FEBRUARY 2026[/list]

[list][list]| [sub]President Benigno Aquino III, the 15th and incumbent President of the Republic of the Philippines, launched his presidency in 2010 and his second term as head of state in 2022 on a platform of crushing government corruption, which was represented by his campaign slogan of 'Daang Matuwid', or 'straight path'. Although in reality President Aquino's efforts to crush and finally end corruption in the Philippines, which has plagued the nation for decades and continues to be one of the main forces pulling it downwards financially and politically, the President continued onwards, urging and encouraging the Filipino people to restrain themselves from bribing traffic officials and policemen and women to get out of getting a fine. His fight against corruption may have not been successful in practice, but his aggressive determination to achieve what was right and best for the Filipino people catapulted him into national fame, which secured him a second term as president during the 2022 elections. [/sub] |[/list][/list]

[list][list]| [sub]Continuing on in his determined efforts to restrain and finally end corruption in the country, President Aquino has decided to strike at the root of the problem when he signed the Honor Code Educational Act of 2026 in early February of this year. The Honor Code Educational Act, usually shortened to the Honor Code Law, is a unique piece of legislation aimed at utilizing the Philippine K-12 educational system, which President Aquino himself had implemented into the country in 2013 through the Enhanced Basic Education Act, to mentally train the new generations of Filipinos to restrain themselves from practicing corrupt actions such as bribery, kickbacks, embezzlement, laundering, and impunity. The new legislation, proposed by Congressman Chel Diokno of the Liberal Party, breezed through the House of Representatives and was passed by the Philippine Senate in a mere two months.[/sub] |[/list][/list]

[list][list]| [sub]The Honor Code Law, officially the Honor Code Educational Act of 2026, formally mandates all public and private educational institutions to add to their curriculum for Values Education a new topic titled the Honor Code. This so-called 'Honor Code' consists of a pledge, to be recited during every Values Education class and is required by law to be posted in every classroom. The Code will be taught by all public and private educational institutions to all public and private students in Grades 4 to 6, as well as Grade 12. These new measures aim to cement into the mindset of the nation's future generations a mindset which opposes corruption, illegal practices, bribery, etc. and those who does these illegal practices. Rather than ruthlessly punish all those suspected of corruption and other illegal practices, the Government has decided to attempt to take down the problem before it even starts in a Filipino citizen.[/sub] |[/list][/list]

[list]Honor Code: "I, (insert your name), do solemnly swear to never lie, cheat, steal, or engage in illegal and corrupt practices or tolerate those who do. I pledge to be courteous, kind, and understanding to all peoples, regardless of race, color, or religion."[/list]

Construction Starts on New Airport!

Bulacan is now home to a large temporary dorm as workers flood in to begin work on the new airport to serve Manila. 125,000 construction workers have been hired on site to help with construction, and work is expected to conclude in 2031.

Hype is high for the completion of the new airport as over 95% of NAIA's landing slots have been taken up already leading to the increased utilization of Clark International Airport and other nearby airports.

With over 15 billion US dollars invested into the airport so far topped off with a 700 million investment from Philippine Airlines, the airport will have 6 runways and 5 terminals with 600 gates allowing for 120 planes at a time to be docked to the airport.

National Shura Council on Defense and Security Integrity - Department of Border Security Announces Near Completion of the Somaliland Wall Coined the "Dar al-Harb Gate"

مجلس الشورى الوطني للنزاهة الدفاعية والامنية - ادارة امن الحدود تعلن قرب الانتهاء من بناء سور ارض الصومال "بوابة دار الحرب"

[sub]Caliph Abdullah bin al-Hussein Abdulrahman I Administration | ABU DHABI, 2026 [/sub][/list]

[sub]| ALMUDIRIAT ALEARABIAT ALEULYA - المديرية العربية العليا |[/sub]

[list][list][sub]Chairman of the National Shura Council on Defense and Security Integrity has announced the near completion of the Somaliland Wall, also coined "The Dar al-Harb Gate" (بوابة دار الحرب). The 463 mile border, heavily influenced by the structure of the Berlin Wall (96 miles long), began in November 2025 as a physical defensive mechanism against the Galla after Addis Ababa's attempts to seize Somaliland. With assistance given by extensive capital flow from Abu Dhabi in addition to increased blue collar workforce from the Peninsula and the former Arab Union and Lebanon, the goal is to build 96 miles of wall per month to complete the entirety of the border wall in 4 months, thus projecting a completion in March 2026. The finalization of the wall would include 2 walls with a No Man's Land in between the walls that has been nicknamed the "Land between Haram and Paradise (الأرض بين الحرم والجنة)". With guard towers primarily completed along with trip wires, land mines, flood lights, hedgehog traps, and radar sensors, the Caliphate has already begun the positioning of border security personnel to designated positions as well as in completed guard towers. The Air Force has allocated Shahed-129 Combat / Intelligence / Surveillance / Reconnaissance (CISR) Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, Umar ibn Al-Khattab Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles, and General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles toward securing the border as part of The Dar al-Harb Gate, marking one of the most modern, multi-layered defensive border walls currently in the world. Patrols will be conducted within the No Man's Land by AJBAN 450 Light Tactical Patrol Vehicles and HAFEET 640A 6x6 Armored Vehicles patrol groups in addition to guard dog units. The Somaliland side of the border wall will be also patrolled by loosely formed mujahid companies (200 personnel per company) and Islamic Popular Mobilization Committees companies (175 personnel per company).[/sub][/list][/list]

[list]| President Benigno Aquino III passes Honor Code Educational Act | FEBRUARY 2026[/list]

[list][list]| [sub]President Benigno Aquino III, the 15th and incumbent President of the Republic of the Philippines, launched his presidency in 2010 and his second term as head of state in 2022 on a platform of crushing government corruption, which was represented by his campaign slogan of 'Daang Matuwid', or 'straight path'. Although in reality President Aquino's efforts to crush and finally end corruption in the Philippines, which has plagued the nation for decades and continues to be one of the main forces pulling it downwards financially and politically, the President continued onwards, urging and encouraging the Filipino people to restrain themselves from bribing traffic officials and policemen and women to get out of getting a fine. His fight against corruption may have not been successful in practice, but his aggressive determination to achieve what was right and best for the Filipino people catapulted him into national fame, which secured him a second term as president during the 2022 elections. [/sub] |[/list][/list]

[list][list]| [sub]Continuing on in his determined efforts to restrain and finally end corruption in the country, President Aquino has decided to strike at the root of the problem when he signed the Honor Code Educational Act of 2026 in early February of this year. The Honor Code Educational Act, usually shortened to the Honor Code Law, is a unique piece of legislation aimed at utilizing the Philippine K-12 educational system, which President Aquino himself had implemented into the country in 2013 through the Enhanced Basic Education Act, to mentally train the new generations of Filipinos to restrain themselves from practicing corrupt actions such as bribery, kickbacks, embezzlement, laundering, and impunity. The new legislation, proposed by Congressman Chel Diokno of the Liberal Party, breezed through the House of Representatives and was passed by the Philippine Senate in a mere two months.[/sub] |[/list][/list]

[list][list]| [sub]The Honor Code Law, officially the Honor Code Educational Act of 2026, formally mandates all public and private educational institutions to add to their curriculum for Values Education a new topic titled the Honor Code. This so-called 'Honor Code' consists of a pledge, to be recited during every Values Education class and is required by law to be posted in every classroom. The Code will be taught by all public and private educational institutions to all public and private students in Grades 4 to 6, as well as Grade 12. These new measures aim to cement into the mindset of the nation's future generations a mindset which opposes corruption, illegal practices, bribery, etc. and those who does these illegal practices. Rather than ruthlessly punish all those suspected of corruption and other illegal practices, the Government has decided to attempt to take down the problem before it even starts in a Filipino citizen.[/sub] |[/list][/list]

[list]Honor Code: "I, (insert your name), do solemnly swear to never lie, cheat, steal, or engage in illegal and corrupt practices or tolerate those who do. I pledge to be courteous, kind, and understanding to all peoples, regardless of race, color, or religion."[/list]

[list]January 2024

[sub]Presidential Election ‘24[/sub][/list]

[list][list][list][pre]In 2019, Foxconn founder, Mr. Terry Gou, made it clear that he will run in the Presidential Election ‘20, starting, of course, his presidential campaign in September 2019. In January 2020, Terry Gou ended up losing the presidential election and President Tsai Ing-wen was re-elected again by 51.08%, while Gou won 49.11%, which turned out to be a close election between the two candidates.

The world has gone through several international events where the ROC has not been very involved with these global issues, but some of these events have been commented on and criticized negatively by Taipei politicians.

Terry Gou, after losing the Elections ‘20, confirmed a few months later that he would try again for the Election ‘24. Gou knew Taiwan needed a president who would value Taiwan's national identity even more, given the current tensions between Taipei and Beijing — Now, after 4 years under the Tsai Administration, Terry Gou wins a landslide victory in the Presidential Election.[/pre][/list][/list][/list]

[sub]THE PRESIDENT-ELECT OF THE ROC![/sub]

[list]“ 中華民國當選總統!”[/list]

| After waiting 4 years to become President of Taiwan, Terry Gou now fulfilled his wish — wearing a black suit with a light blue tie — Gou was walking down one of the corridors of the Presidential Building. After assuming the Presidency, Gou confirmed that he will invest and develop new technological industries, in addition to traditional and agricultural ones, in order to always improve the Taiwanese economy. The President-Elect also said he will strive to “Make Taiwan a Great Country” for the young generation. |

[list]| [sub]TERRY GOU, The President-Elect[/sub] | “Let's build a nation together! A nation we will be proud of! . . . I will also make Taiwan a nation for young people, providing a good quality of life for future generations.—”[/list]

[list]“ 苟太銘! 苟太銘! 苟太銘!”[/list]

| Guō Táiming! Guō Táiming! Guō Táiming! — These were the voices of young Terry Gou supporters outside the Presidential Office Building when Gou took office and made a brief statement. Gou really enjoyed great popularity among young people. Of course, during the elections, Gou had already said that the reason for his candidacy for the KMT is precisely to target young people. The hope of building a Taiwan that values national identity even more is now stronger than ever among the Taiwanese population and that is what Gou will implement in his next 4 years of Administration, which is to further expand Taiwanese patriotism. |

CORFU REFERENDUM LEADS TO THE ITALIAN REPUBLIC CEDING THE ISLAND TO GREECE

FEBRUARY 2026

Within a week of the removal of the Italian Monarchy from Power, the Citizenry of Corfu successfully petitioned the Italian Senate for the right to hold their own independent Referendum. Three choices would be available to them in said Referendum, remaining with Italy, rejoining with Greece or becoming their own Independent State. The short-term nature of the Referendum being held was to prevent corruption with regards to campaigning and was done to represent the clearest and most accurate opinion at the time of it being conducted. A total of 59.13% voted to rejoin Greece, with a further 6.13% voting for complete Independence and the remaining votes standing for remain with Italy.

As a result of the Referendum, the Italian Government as it currently stands has already initiated contact with the Greek Government to complete a transfer in as timely a manner as possible, while naturally making it an easy transition for Italians living on the Island. As for the Italian Naval Base in Corfu town itself, an initial agreement concerning a 10 year lease has already been signed, meaning that the Italian Navy shall still be able to operate from the Island for the foreseeable future, with renewals pending at the end of that period.

[list]Greece celebrates as Corfu is returned to the Kingdom of The Hellenes![/list]

| The streets of Athens are abuzz with cheers and jubilation as word quickly spreads across Athens that Corfu has just voted to rejoin the Kingdom of Greece. Prime Minister Konstantinos Antonallis, the head of the provisional Greek government following the overthrow of Emperor Konstantinos II, has contacted Rome to insure the transition of ownership goes smoothly and to reassure the Italians that their naval installation on Corfu will be respected as long as the lease is valid. For Greece, this news comes at a low point in its history. For the Kingdom of the Hellenes has just overthrown its monarch and ceded lands the old regime conquered to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in exchange for eternal peace. With the reorganization of territories in the Balkans and the birth of new democratic governments, it is the hope of the Antonallis administration that stability can finally be achieved in the region. |

ÉLYSÉE PALACE: AN IMPERIAL PRESIDENCY PART IV - MACRON TAPS A SUCCESSOR

[sub]VTH REPUBLIC | PARIS, 2026 [/sub][/list]

[sub]| HELM OF DÈMOCRATIE, PALAIS DE L’ELYSÉE - | After having completed a press briefing in the Salon Napoléon III which is just across from the Salle des fêtes of Élysée, President Macron made his way into the Bibliothèque and through into what most would think is a private office just off the Salle à Manger. Macron would enter the secluded room and shut the door. As he turned back around, he would look down at the floor, pulling back a carpet and revealing a metal hatch implanted in the floor. Opening the hatch, he would reveal a dusty spiral staircase leading down into a dark abyss. Only the President of France and those closest to him were privy to the existence of such a chamber. Macron would grab hold of the railing and descend down into the dark cold lair. Upon stepping down off the last step, his feet would be met with the dust of an Earthly dirt floor. Motion sensor lights near the staircase would burst on, blinding him at first. The lights would reveal the extent of a carved out tunnel leading in three directions. A metallic crate situated just before the entrance to the three catacombs would contain an oil lantern and a box of matches. The President would flick a match and light the lantern before heading down the central tunnel. As he made his way down the dimly lit tunnel, the walls of the tunnel itself changed from limestone and brick to the bones of thousands of long lost Parisians. He had officially entered the renowned Paris Catacombs. The President would come to a vast open chamber lit by several torches. There waiting to meet him in the shadows was Christophe Castaner, the President of the La République En Marche group in the National Assembly. |[/sub]

[sub]| President Macron | "Ah bonjour monsieur....finally I've found you."[/sub]

[sub]| Castaner would turn to the President and nod his head. |[/sub]

[sub]| Christophe Castaner | "Oui monsieur le Président. Perhaps we could've done this more conventionally in your office."[/sub]

[sub]| President Macron | "Non. This is the perfect location. Its almost ritualistic wouldn't you say?"[/sub]

[sub]| Christophe Castaner | "I suppose so."[/sub]

[sub]| President Macron | "You know monsieur, when I was first elected I came down here to this very chamber and got drunk listening to Léo Delibes's Flower Duet. The next morning my security detail was running frantic trying to relocate their newly elected Président."[/sub]

[sub]| Christophe Castaner | "Haha! A wonderful moment to remember."[/sub]

[sub]| President Macron | "Very much so, oui. I still come down here sometimes to ponder about world politics and the future of France. In fact I was down here when I settled on you. Its as if these walls....these bones speak for themselves. They determine the future of France in a way."[/sub]

[sub]| At this point Castaner was growing visibly confused by the President's remarks and even a bit nervous. |[/sub]

[sub]| Christophe Castaner | "I see. So monsieur le Président, what exactly is the purpose of our meeting down here anyway?"[/sub]

[sub]| President Macron | "You my friend will be the future of France...."[/sub]

[sub]| Christophe Castaner | "I'm sorry....what exactly do you mean?[/sub]

[sub]| President Macron | "You Christophe are going to be Président....when I leave office of course."[/sub]

[sub]| Christophe Castaner | "It would be an honour, but what about the electoral process?"[/sub]

[sub]| President Macron | "You will win. I have faith...and if polls are not in your favour, I am certain measures can be taken to change the polls."[/sub]

[sub]| Christophe Castaner | "You mean voter suppression and cheating..."[/sub]

[sub]| President Macron | "Oui, if we must. You however are an excellent campaigner. You ran both of mine quite well did you not?...I'm certain it won't come down to it but the option is always there. Think of it as a safety mechanism."[/sub]

[sub]| Christophe Castaner | "But monsieur...the future of France is En Marche !, not me."[/sub]

[sub]| President Macron | "Christophe, that is exactly why I have chosen you."[/sub]

[sub]| Christophe Castaner | "Monsieur le Président...it is a responsibility and an honour I am willing to bear."[/sub]

[sub]| President Macron | "Très bien. You must do it for the party and for France. Now go prepare for 2031."[/sub]

[sub]| Christophe would shake President Macron's hand before both men departed in opposite directions through the catacombs. |[/sub]

REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES | REPUBLIKA NG PILIPINAS

[list]| PACC reformed into National Transparency Department as PH ramps up anti-corruption fight | FEBRUARY 2026[/list]

[list][list]| [sub]Corruption and other illegal practices such as bribing and graft run rampant in the Philippine Government, with the Southeast Asian nation being rated one of the most corrupt nations on the planet. Essentially every presidential administration since the 1986 People Power or EDSA Revolution, which ousted the dictator Ferdinand Marcos, has put extreme emphasis on ending corruption once and for all, but these efforts have all but failed. The latest administration to tackle the corruption issue in the Philippines is the incumbent and sitting Aquino administration, which has been in power since 2010. The length of President Benigno Aquino III's term as office - numbering six years and counting, has contributed to the shutting down of at least some portion of corruption in the country's government. The President has so far kept the Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission, or PACC, which was established in 2017 with the mandate of eliminating all forms of corruption in the Executive Department.[/sub] |[/list][/list]

[list][list]| [sub]In order to both properly and justly reform the PACC and the government's leading anti-corruption agencies and signal to the Philippine public that the government was taking a new approach to dealing with rampant corruption, President Benigno Aquino III signed an Executive Order dissolving the Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission and establishing the National Transparency Department, or the NTD. The new department received the mandate of 'fully and absolutely eliminating all forms of corruption within the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the Government of the Republic of the Philippines'. President Aquino appointed Liberal Party Congressman and vocal human rights lawyer Chel Diokno as the first Director of the National Transparency Department. [/sub] |[/list][/list]

[list][list]| [sub]The National Transparency Department (NTD) is a Cabinet-level government department with extensive executive powers, capable of removing convicted politicians and other figures from their position within the Government of the Republic of the Philippines as long as the sitting President gives his signature of approval. The NTD has also been tasked with reforming the presidential and vice-presidential impeachment process, which is embedded within the Constitution of the Republic of the Philippines. President Aquino clarified to reporters that the president 'would not have to give his signature of consent when the NTD convicts or suspects him or her of corruption or illegal practices'. In order for the NTD to take action after confirming with 'substantial' evidence pointing to the president potentially being corrupt, the department will have to go through the reformed impeachment process, which is in the process of being drafted by the National Transparency Department's Impeachment Reform Group.[/sub] |[/list][/list]

[list][list]| [sub]The National Transparency Department has also been placed in charge of ensuring that 'the government's operations, withdrawals, transactions, and other deals and agreements' are 'fully public and transparent, in order to develop a bond of trust between the Government and the People, and to assist in the prevention of government corruption'. This mandate on the NTD in particular is stirring controversy among the other government departments as it effectively places the department above the rest of them and places them under the full scrutiny of the organization. President Aquino simply responded with 'its their job and mandate to scrutinize the government departments'.[/sub] |[/list][/list]

[list][list]| [sub]The establishment of the National Transparency Department is only the first step among many along the path towards ending corruption in the Philippines. President Aquino has already directed the country's government agencies to begin 'ramping up significantly [..] on a factor of ten and more' the squashing and complete elimination of all forms of corruption within the Government of the Republic of the Philippines. In the wake of the NTD's establishment, incumbent President Benigno Aquino's approval rating among the Filipino people soared, bringing it up to a very positive 59%.[/sub] |[/list][/list]

| KINGDOM OF SPAIN |

| GOBIERNO IMPERIAL DE ESPAÑA |

______________

Clash of Titans: Spain's major political parties begin aggressive nationwide campaigns ahead of the May elections

| The clash of titans have begun as the Kingdom of Spain approaches what very well may be the most important midterm parliamentary elections the nation has seen in more than two decades. Several months prior, polls taken by government statistics agencies and private organizations dedicated to predicting and laying out possible election results showed a 'very likely scenario' wherein the right-wing, particularly the far-right ultranationalist Vox party, led by Santiago Abascal, seizes a landslide victory in the May elections, thus disrupting Prime Minister Torres's mostly centrist progressive legislative agenda. However, as mentioned previously, that poll was taken several months ago. New developments both locally and abroad have caused a seismic shift in the outlook of the Spanish voters, swinging the votes in favor of the centrists and conservatives who dominated the government, with the latter even being the majority party in the Cortes and the incumbent party in the executive branch of the Spanish Government. |

| As the May midterm parliamentary elections of 2026 continue to draw closer, the various parties have begun launching their campaigns to garner the support of the Spanish voter populace. The centrist progressive Ciudadanos - or Citizens - party, which holds a slight majority in the Spanish Cortes Generales and is the sitting party in the Spanish Government's executive branch, has launched its campaign for additional seats in both houses of the Cortes on a platform of progressive economic policies, a 'befriend-all' foreign policy - aimed at the USAN, Maghreb, and Sahelia, and 'pushing the aggressive and financially sustainable development of the Spanish Autonomous Department of Equatorial Guinea'. Contrary to previous promises, Ciudadanos candidates made no mention of the party president and sitting Prime Minister Augustina Torres's pledge to increase the Spanish military budget above $20.8 billion dollars. This was subsequently corrected by Albert Rivera, a leading progressive politician and the right hand of Prime Minister Torres, who stated that the military budget 'will be adjusted according to the Armed Forces's needs, which seem to be requiring a higher budget as of the moment' during his speech describing his bid for the Senate presidency. |

| The Christian conservative/moderate progressive People's Party (PP), which suffered grave defeats in the 2020 elections and the 2024 elections, resulting in the party's popularity among voters to nosedive into the negative numbers, has launched one of the most expensive election campaigns for the May elections. The party's president, Cayetana Alvarez de Toledo, responsible for the party's gradual movement towards 'moderate progressivism', has announced her bid for the Congress of Deputies presidency, competing against coalition partner Ciudadanos's candidate, and incumbent president Meritxell Batet Lamana of the Spanish Workers Socialist Party (PSOE). The People's Party launched their campaign for the May elections on a platform of 'conservative and highly restrained government spending, a renewed government focus on mainland social welfare, and foreign policy constrained to the European Union and the immediate Mediterranean Sea'. According to one political analysts, the platform the PP is running on 'will most certainly result in their defeat'.|

| The Spanish Socialist Workers Party, or the PSOE for short, was the reigning party during the Sanchez administration from 2020 to 2024. Having led a social democratic upheaval of the Spanish economy in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the party suffered losses in terms of its popularity among the Spanish populace thanks to the Sanchez government's poor handling of the pandemic and the rampant infections and deaths. The failure of the PSOE to keep the virus in check paved the way for the rise of Augustina Torres and her platform of liberal progressive politics, which finally led to the PSOE losing the 2024 election for the prime ministership. With the May midterm elections approaching, the PSOE has launched its own campaign, albeit a relatively small one compared to the others in the race, headed by incumbent Deputy Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez. The campaign launched with the intention of securing for the social democratic party a 'substantial minority [or if possible majority] in both [houses of the Spanish] Cortes', according to an official document released by the PSOE Secretariat-General. |

| The reigning underdog and formerly presumed 'champion and victor' of the May elections is the Vox party, a far-right ultranationalist political party led by Santiago Abascal. The ultranationalist right-wing party had secured nationwide fame for its aggressive right-wing tactics and vocal opposition towards the incumbent administration's 'soft' approach towards foreign policy and the rapid expansion of the Armed Forces of the Kingdom of Spain. Widely alleged by many to be the party behind the instigation of the new Catalan crisis, Vox has been regarded by many as a strong frontrunner for the 2026 May elections. Party leader Santiago Abascal announced that the party would be running to secure 'strong majorities in both houses of the Cortes' and to 'oust the soft progressives who rule us today'. He campaigned on a platform of directly opposing the Torres administration and its agenda, as well as seriously increasing government funding and support for the Armed Forces and its associated foreign adventures. Vox has yet to comment on Equatorial Guinea or its development by a possible legislature led by them, which could seriously damage their chances for the May elections. |

FEBRUARY 2026

MOSCOW - RUSSIAN FEDERATION

[list]| RUSSIA SET FOR ELECTIONS IN ONE YEARS TIME [/list]

The upcoming elections in early 2027 will be the second free and fair election cycle since the peaceful dissolution of the SGRI. In 2023 the Russian people successfully demonstrated that democracy is attainable in the Russian Federation, by electing Viktor Ivchenko to the re-establish Office of the President of the Russian Federation. Capturing 55.1% of the vote, Ivchenko ran on a platform of de-Putinfying the state, eliminating rightist activity, reconciling with nations abroad and improving the conditions of the Russian people at home. President Ivchenko, in his 3 years in office, has been widely successful in accomplishing the goals set out in his campaign in all areas. He led a vicious campaign to eradicate the Putin clique and successfully removed collaborators from political and social life. His administration gave further attention to improving the lives of citizens through constitutional reform, expanding trade and investing heavily in public infrastructure, education and health. Mild successes were also seen in reconciling with the international community following the disastrous foreign policy decisions which tarnished Russia’s image, and Russia today enjoys positive relations with all neighbours! Even when presented with challenges, such as Novorossiya, the Russian liberation of the Caucuses, western sponsored usurping of power in Belarus, or the Norse-Finnish Crisis, Ivhcenko and his government were successful at best and satisfied at worst. Yet despite the success, President Ivchenko has rejected calls for a second term.

In a simple statement issued by his office, the president stated that he had accomplished the goals presented before and supported by the Russian people and would not stand before the Supreme Soviet for re-election. He urged ‘youthful party members with fresh ideas’ to lay their platforms before the party and Russian people, and for the people to decisively elect the best candidate. With Ivchenko officially bowing out of any re-election, the field will soon be open for all political hopefuls seeking to assume the highest office in the Russian Federation. However, although rejecting re-election Ivchenko remains the most powerful man in Russia and as the head of the party any presidential hopeful will surely need the good grace of and a green light from Viktor Ivchenko.

TWO PATHWAYS BETWEEN CHINA AND SOUTH AFRICA | 中国和南非之间的两条途径

[list]

[sub]PATH ONE If South Africa recognizes the People's Republic of China, amounting to anywhere from $200 billion to $250 billion in exports/imports remains intact. Chinese economic influence supersedes ideolog politics of the old. Since 2007 Sino-South African relations have become increasingly close with increasing trade, policy, and political ties. The Beijing Declaration of 2010 set South Africa on the diplomatic status of Strategic Comprehensive Partner by the Chinese government.[/sub]

[sub]PATH TWO There were no relations between China and South Africa before 1998, prior to the fall of apartheid in South Africa relations between the China and South Africa were officially non-existent and unofficially antagonistic. China is a friend to African freedom fighters, for control of their native countries against colonial masters.[/sub]

[sub]Please tell me which one of these two paths to adopt into canon.[/sub]

This isn't needed at all and stop trying to make a scene. You lost the Philippines because you were inactive. No other reason. Suck it up and move on. This doesn't invoke sympathy or empathy from anybody. Save the drama.

Islamists Sweep Elections, New Government Coalition Formed

Casablanca, Republic of Maghreb

March, 2026

____________

[list]”In the year 2026, it is essential for the people of the Muslim World to understand and embrace the single identity and authority that unites all people of the region no matter their location and ethnicity: Islam. We are all brothers and sisters under Allah and it is crucial that we do not hide from this reality. To move forward as a region, we must no longer be afraid to represent and embrace the message of the Prophet Muhammad, Peace Be Upon Him, and Allah the Lord of the Universe. It is with this understanding and declaration that the Caliphate of Abdulrahman endorses and fully supports the Islamic Renaissance Party as the true way forward for the Maghreb. I have no doubt in my mind that the time has arrived for Muslims to stand with Muslims and to build this region the way it was meant to be. May God Bless.”

-Caliph Abdulrahman I[/list]

Following the Caliph’s effects on Maghreb, many regarded the elections as a foregone affair. The words of Abdulrahman I swayed the people's hearts and minds towards Islamists and conservatives. Wealthy donors left the progressives and reformers and many campaigns imploded. Some liberal candidates even dropped out entirely, claiming the words of the Caliph weren’t to be challenged. Left-wing/right-wing political intrigue fell to the wayside and national attention turned to how power might be divided in the prospective conservative super-majority.

Before the elections, the ruling coalition was composed of the Justice and Development Party, Democratic National Rally, and National Unity Party. Though it did not participate in the coalition, the Green Maghreb Alliance was often an ally. Green Maghreb was itself a coalition of three parties: the Renaissance Party (Ennahda), Movement for Peace (Hamas), and Movement for Reform (Islah). Ennahda led the movement and was generally considered the dominant Islamist influence in Maghrebi politics. At its head was Abderazzak Makri, a seasoned politician who managed to avoid the Islamist crackdowns of the Hassan I regime. In the void left by the progressive opposition, Makri made his move. He immediately convened the leadership of the Green Alliance, and they soon emerged with a startling decision: For the March elections, the parties will unify under the banner of the Islamic Renaissance Party. With a powerbase secured, Makri played his hand further. Backroom negotiations with the NUP and JDP secured a governing coalition in which Ennahda would be recognized as the senior party. The DNR and all other parties were pushed aside as Makri emerged as the new leading choice for Prime Minister.

From there, Ennahda embarked on an aggressive campaign across Maghreb. Though it would never reach public eyes, King Mohammad would quietly donate $15 million dollars to Ennahda via his corporate subsidiaries. Altogether, Ennahda and its allies would raise and spend nearly $50 million dollars, a feat in the history of Maghrebi parliamentary elections. With an enormous war chest, Ennahda candidates could afford to expose themselves to voters far more than their competitors, buying up radio and air time and advertising space. By nearly all mainstream Maghrebi media, the Islamic Renaissance and its allies were favored to win a sweeping victory. So emboldened by his prospects, Makri began openly discussing his intentions as Prime Minister. On April 21st, polls opened across Maghreb.

The election proceeded precisely as predicted. Of 450 seats in the National Assembly, Ennahda secured 197. The JDP took 42 and the National Unity Party took 38. Together, their coalition held 62% of all National Assembly seats. While the coalition has an overt majority, there are still legal barriers to their total exercise of legislative power. Maghrebi law requires that at least two members from all represented parties be present before laws can be debated or passed. Still, the opposition was largely toothless as of now and the new Islamic ruling government had few barriers to its an assertion of power for at least the next four years. The Ouyahia government was dissolved and on March 27th, Abderazzak Makri was sworn in as Prime Minister of the Republic of Maghreb.

Strategic Industry Advancement Protocol; Establishment of MENA CORE Investment Wealth Fund

بروتوكول النهوض بالصناعة الإستراتيجية ؛ إنشاء صندوق الثروة الاستثمارية MENA CORE

[sub]Caliph Abdullah bin al-Hussein Abdulrahman I Administration | ABU DHABI, 2026 [/sub][/list]

[sub]| ALMUDIRIAT ALEARABIAT ALEULYA - المديرية العربية العليا |[/sub]

[sub]Inheriting the war-torn Somaliland and Yemen was understood to be potential strains on Caliphate resources; however, the Supreme Parliament for Shura and Governance has indicated that development of both Somaliland and Yemen is a priority for the Caliphate to construct and supplant its presence permanently in the Red Sea, Bab-El Mandeb Strait, and the Gulf of Aden as the Caliphate acquired a total 1,728 miles of warm water coastline between the two countries. With Somaliland's main ports completing reconstruction after Gallan ballistic assaults and Yemeni ports completing their refurbishing after the first Gallan invasion of Yemen, these developments were practically considered useless if there is little to no infrastructure to connect the coastline to the interior of the regions in addition to modernized maritime infrastructure in the Red Sea, Bab-el Mandeb Strait, and the Gulf of Aden to connect to Somaliland to the Peninsula and the greater global economy via trade routes. The Caliphate has found it reasonable to direct $60 billion in investments from the Abdulrahman Public Investment Fund to accelerate and incentivize development projects. These investments have been attached to an overall comprehensive push by the National Shura Council for the Economy, National Shura Council for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, and the National Shura Council for Infrastructure Development and Ingenuity to expand and advance the Caliphate's strategic industry capacity and capabilities. The eight sectors that the investments will be utilized for are as follows:[/sub]

[list][pre]5G Next Generation Information Technology (Telecommunications)

Bio-Technology and Pharmaceutical Development

High End Equipment (Airplanes, satellites, manufacturing, industrial robotics)

New Materials (Aircraft, Chip making)

New Energy Technologies

Green Technologies and Equipment

Smart and New Energy Vehicles

Digital Technology[/pre][/list]

[sub]The National Shura Council for Industry and Trade along with the National Shura Council for the Economy have both indicated that the Caliphate shall become and remain as bold, progressive, innovative, and experimental as ever before in regard to the economy, industries, and markets. Chairman Prof. Mahad bin Said bin Ali Baawain of the National Shura Council of Industry and Trade and Chairman Dr. Saeed bin Muhammad bin Ahmed al Saqri of the National Shura Council on the Economy has both explained that the Caliphate is focused and determined to produce 10 strategic emerging industrial bases with global influence, 90 strategic emerging industrial clusters with international competitiveness, and 750 strategic emerging industrial ecosystems with unique advantages across the entirety of the Caliphate to reign in the true potential of the Union-State. To do this, the Supreme Parliament for Shura and Governance has agreed to begin laying the framework of a $105 billion initiative to designate resources, research and development, and manpower toward these 8 strategic industries that have been designated as essential by the Caliph. Outside of the $105 billion, an additional $100 billion has been set aside specifically for Yemen and Somaliland ($50 billion each) toward immediate usage for infrastructure modernization and interconnectivity as well as investment into human capital to expand employment opportunities.[/sub]

[sub]The main priority for Yemen and Somaliland is infrastructure from basic roads and homes to highways, rail networks, and public transportation routes. Of the $205 billion total available to Somalia and Yemen, Yemeni Emir Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar has allocated $15.6 billion to begin the initial frameworks for a more integrated Yemeni interior via modern roads, bridges, parks, industrial facilities for production, storage, and transport. For the Somaliland Emir Nuh Ismail Tani, Somaliland has allocated $20.2 billion toward the same projects as the Yemeni Emir with both countries incorporating a combination of modern and antiquity Islamic architectural designs combined with stripped neoclassicism, alpine traditional rural architecture, and utilitarianism that also provides ample capacity for modern industrial capabilities, infrastructure projects, and military complexes. The leading Caliphate's architectural company Omran Architects have also become integrated with country-wide architectural projects to bring a uniformed visualization of modern architectural design but keeping homage to Classical Islamic architecture. These architectural components would be further blended with the "form follows function" idea for architectural design for cities as a means to produce simplicity, uniformity, monumentality, solidity and eternity.[/sub]

[sub]After the allocation of money toward infrastructure development, Yemen and Somaliland have authorized allocation of additional $20 billion toward revamping and modernizing the healthcare system, facilities, and businesses amid the gradual increase of pharmaceuticals from across the Caliphate in addition to doctors and nurses traveling from the Arabian Gulf per new healthcare standard protocols implemented by the Caliph to assist in training, education, and certifications of Yemenis and Somalis to become part of the growing profession and pharmaceutical industry. The $20 billion is set toward constructing modernized hospitals, clinics, research centers, and laboratories across the southern portions of the Caliphate. After the announcing of a $20 billion initiative for healthcare, the Supreme Parliament for Shura and Governance explained that over the next coming months, it has become priority to make sure that the funds received by the Yemeni and Somaliland Emirates are allocated appropriately to uplift the people from current state of struggle and to ensure that never again shall a Muslim have to worry about being able to eat, being able to have access to clean water to drink and warm water to bathe, being able to have a vehicle and/or access to dependable public transportation, being able to have superb access to modern medicine and treatment, and being able to enjoy life without fear.[/sub]

______

[pre]Formation of the MENA Core Investment Wealth Fund[/pre]

[sub]Via the National Shura Council on Finances and in collaboration with the National Shura Council on Foreign Affairs, the Caliphate officially established the MENA Core Investment Wealth Fund. The MENA Core IWF refers to a multi-pronged two-part sovereign wealth fund and investment fund that primarily deals with strategic investing the surplus revenues of the Caliphate's petroleum sector. In addition to the petroleum sector, the MENA Core IWF holds portfolios of real estate, pharmaceuticals, entertainment, emerging technology, and fixed-income investments. MENA Core also invests in all international markets – equities, fixed income and treasury, infrastructure, real estate, private equity and alternatives (hedge funds and commodity trading advisers – CTAs). It's potential global portfolio will be broken down into sub-funds covering a specific asset class. Each asset class will have its own fund managers and in-house analysts covering it. Almost every asset class will be managed both internally and externally. On the foreign affairs side, MENA Core Investment Wealth Fund will become one of the main drivers and sources of the Caliphate's foreign direct investments targeting the MENA region.[/sub]

REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES | REPUBLIKA NG PILIPINAS

[list]| Vice President Jejomar Binay ousted after Senate impeachment trial finds him guilty of corruption, tax evasion, replaced by Sen. Grace Poe | MARCH 2026[/list]

[list][list]| [sub]The latter periods of February and the early portion of March 2026 have been extremely rough for Jejomar Binay, the Vice President of the Republic of the Philippines and second-in-command to President Benigno Aquino III. Shortly after the establishment of the National Transparency Department, a Cabinet-level government department dedicated to eradicating corruption in all branches of the Filipino government, Vice President Binay was accused by that same department of high levels of corruption, embezzlement, abuse of office, and tax evasion. The controversial scandal which erupted afterwards was wisely dodged by many top politicians, including President Aquino and his Cabinet. VP Binay originally attempted to sway public opinion by repeatedly criticizing the NTD, calling their operations and its director, human rights lawyer and congressman Chel Diokno, 'corrupt and easily swayed by forces of evil'. The House of Representatives passed an impeachment request, and the Senate began the impeachment trial in late February.[/sub] |[/list][/list]

[list][list]| [sub]The following days of impeachment trials, assemblies, passionate and impassionate speeches, and testimonies by witnesses and important figures were perhaps the roughest days in Jejomar Binay's career. The Philippine Vice President's defense team failed to convince the senators on the judging panel of the impeachment inquiry, and by March 6th the verdict was announced. Jejomar Binay, Vice President of the Republic of the Philippine Islands, was convicted of corruption and tax evasion, and was declared guilty on all charges. The Supreme Court of the Republic of the Philippines sentenced him to forty years in prison with no hope for parole. Vice President Binay announced his resignation from his post shortly after the Supreme Court ruled him guilty of all charges. With the post of vice president no vacated, President Benigno Aquino III appointed long-time Senator and independent ally Grace Poe as the acting vice president until the 2028 presidential and vice-presidential elections.[/sub] |[/list][/list]
