KANTEI, TOKYO, Philanialle EVENING
| Given current events in North Borneo, such as the conflict between terrorists and Japanese police that has somehow caused instability in the region and not to mention the recently released top secret reports that confirmed that North Borneo has been suffering from a famine since the Administration Shinjiro (2022-2023) until now. Amidst this chaos in North Borneo, the PRIME MINISTER SUGA, after meeting members of his cabinet, officially announced at a press conference the withdrawal of the Imperial Japanese Navy from the coast of North Borneo and the reopening of the borders Tokyo took action extreme precisely to prevent the refugees from leaving the region, but then the International Community made very negative criticisms of the Japanese Empire about this. Suga Administration, seeing negative criticism from several countries, made a decision that will affect the future of North Borneo and its citizens The Empire of Japan will hold a fully democratic referendum for the entire local population, where they themselves voted to be part of the Malaysia or North Borneo will always be a Japanese
Prefecture. |

| Fear the Raider: Part 1 |
[list]Okavango Delta: 10th of July, 2026[/list]
| Miserable, miserable would be the word to describe the current state of affairs for the men of the 15th Raider Regiment of the South Afrikan Navy, these men belonging to Sköll Company specifically. The men were currently stationed at a forward operating base along the outskirts of the Okavango Delta, normally that wouldnt be so bad as every combat operations unit in the Royal South Afrikan Military does a rotation through the area at one point of the year or the other. However, regardless of the unit or what situation they may be in, they will all agree that the wet season in the region makes it even worse. Not only that, but today was Independence Day for South Afrika, so many of the men in Sköll company were disgruntled they couldnt celebrate, disgruntled would be a way of putting it mildly, as many of the men within the company were currently sitting outside of their barracks, on one of the occasional days that it didnt rain. Most of them talking about life back home or even talking about politics, others talking about current ongoings within the company and the regiment itself. |
[list]| Pte. Konnor Harkins: | Ya lot lookin forward to the end of this rotation? The young man asks his friends as they all sit around, most of them smoking or cleaning their weapons.[/list]
[list]| Pte. Sipho Thabani: | Why do you have to ask that? You know what the answer will be. Private Thabani replies, while he is playing a game of chess with Lance Korporal Burgin, causing the others sitting around to laugh, as Harkin asked a pretty dumb question.[/list]
[list]| Pte. Konnor Harkins: | Come on Siph, m just curious. I know I am, been lookin forward to see ma girl again. His words caused the Zulu to sigh while the other men chuckle, as Harkins was in a relationship with Siphos older sister, who was 5 years senior of the young 19 year old sailor.[/list]
[list]| Pte. Sipho Thabani: | Dont remind me, I dont need to remember that one time at the hotel. A lot of the men fell silent, as they didnt know what was being implied.[/list]
[list]| Pte. Konnor Harkins: | Ya eard that?. Harkins asks, going slightly pale.[/list]
[list]| Pte. Sipho Thabani: | Everyone heard that, why do you think my father looks at you with anger every time you come to the house? Those words being said, all the men around them start laughing uncontrollably, as they now realize what was being implied. Harkins looked down at the ground before going back to cleaning his weapon, making some laugh harder as the discussion was completely dropped with those words.[/list]
| While the men sat around, one of the company corpsmen arrived and was carrying a small lion cub under one arm and his rifle in the other. This was Senior Corpsmen, Kain Hertzog, one of the older men in the company but that wasnt saying much as he was only 27. All the talking amongst the group of men stopped when they saw the lion cub he was holding, as taking a lion cub from its mother was illegal by law in South Afrika, a very serious law in fact. |
[list]| LKpl. Nikolas Burgin: | For the love of the gods, do not tell me ya stole it. The lance korporal says, completely forgetting the chess match with Thabani upon seeing the cub.[/list]
[list]| SCmn. Kain Hertzog: | Thats a negative, lance korporal, I found him wandering outside the wire and crying. Waited for mom to show up, but she wont be showing up. Words went unsaid, that all of the men knew that the mother was likely dead or had abandoned the cub.[/list]
[list]| CGsgt. Alfred Kruger: | Looks like we found a mascot, doesnt it, boys? Men who arent cleaning weapons snap to their feet, as the most senior NCO of the company walks around the corner of the barracks.
At ease, boys, at ease. The men then relax and sit back down while others stay standing in a more relaxed posture. Kruger was about to say more when another soldier arrived, noticing the cub but not commenting as he looks to Kruger.[/list]
[list]| Kpl. Victor Van Janse: | Gunny, theres a guy with a truck at the front gate, ya gonna wanna see this. Kruger nods his head before looking to the men and giving them a respectful nod, then starts walking away with Janse.[/list]
~ Front Gate of F.O.B Fólkvangr ~
| Reaching the front gate, Kruger saw that two other troopers were talking with a man who was standing off to the side of a truck, obviously keeping him where he was by standing on either side of him. Looking away from that, he walks to the truck as Janse motions to the back of it, walking around and looking inside he sees the bodies of three lions, none of them have hunting tags in their ears either. A sense of disgust comes over Kruger, but he holds back judgement as he turns from the truck and walks over to the two troopers with the man. |
[list]| CGsgt. Alfred Kruger: | Good day sir, mind explaining why you have three dead lions in the back of your truck? He asks the man, expecting him to lie or at least play it off somehow, as killing lions out of season and especially without tags is a very heavy offense in the eyes of the law. Not only that, but should the man be ousted as a poacher in the system, they have every right to kill him on the spot.[/list]
[list]| Man: | I have a license to hunt lions, given to me by the government. The man says, taking his wallet from his back pocket and handing it to Kruger, who then hands it to Janse.[/list]
[list]| CGsgt. Alfred Kruger: | Run these through the system, Korporal. Janse nods before walking away to check the man's licenses or whatever other forms of I.D. he may have, Kruger turns his eyes back to the truck and walks to the driver's side and opens the door. His eyes widened at seeing what appeared to be an original Vektor model R1 rifle sitting in the passenger seat. Reaching over and grabbing the rifle, he brings it out of the truck and looks at it and sure enough its an original R1, with the fully automatic still operational. Turning, he walks back to the man as owning a fully automatic weapon is illegal for civilians, unless they get a license for it.
You have a license for this as well? Before the man can respond, Janse comes walking back out, without the wallet in hand.[/list]
[list]| Kpl. Victor Van Janse: | Three time convicted felon, thievery, assault and a sex crime as well. No valid hunting licenses of any kind, which means poaching. The licenses he had in his wallet were fake or invalid, as they were supplied by the NDF Our enemy. The man looked at Janse, then at the rest of them with disgust before spitting at the one soldier, which he was rewarded with by a buttstock to the side of the head. Falling to the ground, the two troopers kicked him to keep him down.[/list]
[list]| CGsgt. Alfred Kruger: | Do to him what he did to those lions, then put his head on a pike when youre done. The two troopers nod to him as they continue to beat the man into a submission before dragging him away. Looking back to Janse, he hands him the R1.
Keep it, he wont be using it any longer.[/list]
| Van Janse nods to Kruger as he holds the old Vektor R1 in one hand as they start walking back to the main camp area, hearing the pained screams of the poacher who is likely being tortured by the two troopers that dragged him away. This type of thing was eerily common at Fólkvangr, poachers that would try and easily come through the base with fake or doctored documents, only to fail and realize that the RSAIN has some of the best document checking technology in the country. While they walk, Kruger pulls a pack of Okavango River Reds from a pocket on his uniform. Offering one of the red tobacco cigarettes to Van Janse, who uses his free hand to take one from the pack, stopping momentarily so Kruger can light it. |
[list]| CGsgt. Alfred Kruger: | I hope this war ends soon, the NDF has been a thorn in our side for too damn long. Doesnt help that the politicians back home are trying to keep this war off the global scale hence why we are taking things so slow, dont want every smug ass American and entitled European sticking their noses into our business. This will be a war that we keep to the shadows, and in the shadows it will stay. [/list]

[pre]DRC, KINSHASA July, Two years into his second tenure, President Felix Tshisekedi is facing mounting nationwide protests as Opposition Leader Martin Fayulu refuses to back down. What many thought would just be a simple phase, has turned into a nationwide movement, inspired by online youth groups tired of the status quo. Martin Fayulu has spent the last two years campaigning around the country, attempting to rally people to force a new election, Kinshasa, Lubumbashi, and Mbuji-Mayi have seen consistent protests despite the election being two years old. The government response was initially aggressive as they cracked down hard on protestors as the President called them chaotic and even compared them to Paramerican Trump rallies. Stating that the honor of Congolese democracy is being tarnished by conspiracy. Things intensified when the ministry of justice put out an arrest order for Fayulu, to which the opposition leader reacted by fleeing the country to France. When news reached the general public, mass protests turned into mass riots, the period of time in which this rioting took place was referred to as the Semaine du feu as the riots were characterized by iconic scenes of burning street tires. Not long after, President Felix Tshisekedi requested for Fayulu to return back to the country, promising that he would not be arrested and allowed to continue his political activities. Even promising to enter into dialogue talks about potentially having the UN overseer an election. Although no date has been declared for when said elections are to happen.[/pre]

[pre]DRC, GOMA -July, As MONUSCO peacekeepers continue their withdrawal from Congo, reports from the Ministry of Defense have noted an increase in attacks on Army positions in the North Kivu province. Just last week another Congolese Army convoy was ambushed just 5 miles away from an army checkpoint in Paida. The convoy while managing to fend off their ambushers suffered 7 dead and 12 injured. The military governor of Kivu, General Luboya Nkashama, has declared that the 32nd Military Region in Ituri will be sending additional reinforcements to strengthen the army presence. Non the less, many locals are fleeing the area as the absence of MONUSCO resulted in a deteriorating security situation. The NDC-R militia, one of the largest in North Kivu, has been aggressively harassing local villages without facing any reactions as many allege that the local army forces are in bed with the NDC-R. Many critics of the armed forces state that this sort of behavior is nothing new, as the army has been caught in the past stealing money or extorting locals for illegal taxes or tributes. Reports also tell that the ADF has been ramping up its attacks against the army around the city of Beni; with a rigged car, bombing resulting in 5 soldiers dead in the explosion and even assaulting a military checkpoint on the edges of Boikene. President Felix Tshisekedi has vowed to put an end to the chaos by the end of his tenure, although the mounting pressure from the opposition may cut his tenure short by two years.[/pre]

[sub]Death of a Prime Minister: John Major[/sub][/list]
MAJORS RESIDENCE, GREAT STUKELEY, HUNTINGDONSHIRE, Canovia MORNING
[sub]The resignation of Margaret Thatcher was one of major surprises as many thought the Iron Lady would prevail against the numerous betrayals of her cabinet and political party. However after a period of 11.5 years, Thatcher would resign from her position as prime minister, thus leaving the spot of Conservative Party leader and prime minister open. Numerous contenders for the spot arose, but John Major (Chancellor of the Exchequer) would be victorious and thus succeed the Iron Lady.[/sub]
[sub]Vastly different from the Iron Lady, John Major immediately began talks with the European Economic Committee (the European Union) to begin the process of the United Kingdoms formal entry into the organisation. With many moving away from Thatchers policies, the Major Cabinet predicted the earliest for the United Kingdom to enter the European Union was in 1993. With the 1992 general election seeing Major lose 40 seats, the question of how much longer a Conservative government could last. Ditching the unpopular poll tax, launching the Citizens Charter, and negotiation of the European Unions Maastricht Treaty, it would be one of many things achieved during his tenure. However, the withdrawal of the Pound Sterling from the European Exchange Rate Mechanism would prove fatal, as it would cause Black Wednesday and his poll ratings to dip drastically. By 1995, numerous scandals from MPs ranging from sexual to financial which led to the resignation of John Major as party leader however was re-elected to the position. By 1996, Conservatives lost their majority in the House of Commons and would be defeated in a humiliating election in 1997 by Tony Blair and his landslide Labour victory.[/sub]
[sub]Although defeated and no longer party leader, John Major stayed in the House of Commons until 2001. His retirement from politics made him relocate to a small village in Huntingdonshire where he continued to be a public voice in British politics, most notably the 2016 referendum of EU membership which he opposed leaving. In his little Huntingdonshire home, John Major would pass away peacefully at the age of 83. Although a rocky seven-years as prime minister, he would be most remembered for his actions of bringing the United Kingdom into the European Union and promoting reforms in criminal justice and education. A private funeral ceremony was conducted, with former prime minister Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, David Cameron, Theresa May and Boris Johnson attending and giving their own little speeches. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak would also attend the funeral as well as Prince William and Kate Middleton on behalf of the monarchy. Sir John Major is survived by his two children, James and Elizabeth Major.[/sub]
[list][sub]Life is full of surprises. Embrace them.

[list][pre]PLD AEROSPACE LAUNCHES SECOND MIURA 1 SUBROBITAL FLIGHT AHEAD OF HIGHLY ANTICIPATED MIURA 5 ORBITAL LAUNCH IN OCTOBER[/pre][/list]
[list]| [sub]EL ARENOSILLO -[/sub] [sub]Private Spanish aerospace company PLD Aerospace launched its maiden rocket, the Miura 1 suborbital sounding rocket, into low space in December of 2025. Since then the company has been hard at work manufacturing five more Miura 1 suborbital rockets which will launch into space and carry suborbital payloads for paying commercial customers starting late 2026 to mid-2027. All the while, development and manufacturing of components for the company's Miura 5 orbital microsatellite launch vehicle has continued at a faster pace thanks to increased investments from both the Spanish Government and the private aerospace industry within the Kingdom of Spain. In February and March of 2026, the company conducted three engine static fire tests at the Magellan Spaceflight Center (MSC) in El Arenosillo to test the engines to be used on the Miura 5. The tests went successfully, and it was announced in April of 2026 that the manufacturing of the first Miura 5 rocket will be proceeding as planned. On the 4th of August, 2026, the second Miura 1 suborbital rocket launched from Launchpad B at El Arenosillo two months ahead of the highly anticipated Miura 5 orbital launch in October of this year. The rocket launched on a parabolic trajectory, flying the farthest any rocket from Spain has ever flown in history. This flight carried experiments for the European Space Agency and the University of Barcelona into low earth orbit, where one of the experiments recorded physical telemetry during the flight. The flight ended fifteen minutes later in a resounding success, further confirming the validity of PLD Aerospace's launch systems. The company announced on August 7 that the October launch of their Miura 5 orbital rocket will proceed as planned.[/sub] |[/list]

[list]| Cayetana Alvarez de Toledo | [sub]"Of course! Spain would be particularly interested in investing into Yemen and Somaliland's maritime and energy infrastructure, considering those two industries are vital to the livelihood of the people there. Your other proposals are sound, but I'd like to discuss the increase of opportunities for Spanish Muslims to visit the Peninsula. It is understood that your government is, of course, willing to mend old wounds and discuss the possibility of revitalizing relations with the Spanish Government, but for the safety of Spanish Muslims who will visit the Caliphate and for the sake of maintaining the balance of peace between Spain and the Muslim World, would it be possible to ensure the safety of Spaniards when visiting the Caliphate? It would be bad for world peace and Spain-USIN relations should a Spaniard be killed while visiting the Peninsula. I am not in any way saying that the citizens of the Caliphate are violent or anything, I'd just like to prevent the growth of tensions between our two nations over something like that. Otherwise, your proposals for creating new sources of renewable energy in Equatorial Guinea are welcomed and I'm sure both our nations would benefit from something like that. I'd also like to propose the possibility of holding annual parades or events in both our nations to promote both Muslim and Spanish culture within both our nations. For example, once a year, the Spanish Government will hold events in Abu Dhabi per se that promote Spanish culture, while the Caliphate holds seminars or parades in Madrid or Barcelona promoting and educating the public on Muslim culture, and vice versa. Doing so would make both our nations look more like a partner than an alien state in the eyes of the other's public."[/sub] [/list]

l Caliph Abdullah bin al-Hussein Abdulrahman l:
[list][sub]"The well-being of Spanish tourists and visitors will be protected just as Germans, French, etc. The people of the Caliphate understand that seeking to initiate violence not only is illegal by our judicial laws but it is also illegal by our spiritual law unless said violence is justified and warranted. With Spain securing peace with the Maghreb, violence is no longer justified and warranted. Do some people here in the Caliphate not trust the Spanish after what occurred in North Africa? Yes. I cannot change their opinions and views but they will not seek to invoke violence upon the Spanish people. There is nothing to fear in that sense. People tend to stay to themselves here, especially when it comes to politics. Our social teachings both through the Qur'an and the Abdulrahmanism is to live in peace, prosper, and seek growth and happiness through intellect and ambition. There is no room for violence. Displeasure and violence are two different sides of the spectrum of conflict. There is displeasure here but no desires of violence."[/sub][/list]

[list][list][pre]| Bases in the Arctic - Базы в Арктике |[/pre][/list][/list]
[sub] The Arctic has always held strong ambitions from the Russian governments from the Tsar to Soviet to the current administration. The natural conditions of the Arctic have always prevented mass commercial shipping industry and the average coastal industries youd see in other parts of the nation. Though Russia had one advantage in the Arctic race which is that they were used to frozen ports and icebreakers just to move around. Russias Northern Fleet has most of its infrastructure in the Kola Peninsula; this coming project would greatly expand Russian naval presence in the Arctic rather than the current sprinkling of Airbases. Infantry and Naval bases would begin to be constructed across the Arctic islands and in North Russia. A special training base would be constructed on the northern coast of Severny Island for the special training for the newly founded SAU {Siberian and Arctic Unit} a force of 3,000 hand-picked soldiers with heavy combat experience from Russians born in the far north and Siberian Ethnic groups. They would do most of their Arctic warfare training on Severny Island in more extreme conditions, to finalize their training they would be shipped to Kosmolets Island to survive in small units of 10 men on the island alone. The SAU would specialize in small unit tactics and would be useful in behind enemy lines activities and being the spearhead in possible future Arctic conflict. Additional training bases would be set up in Siberia where regular Infantry of the Ground forces would do their winter training for more specialists units.[/sub]

[sub] The Fleet of Icebreakers that Russia already possesses is the largest in the world, but as the Arctic Ice has become weaker so has the need for Russia to clear the remaining ice to make the Arctic lanes clear for international shipping. This would begin the talks to increase the Russian Icebreaker fleet from 50 to 60 furthering the so called Icebreaker Gap with its Arctic competition the USP [Nation]Paramountica[/nation]. These would all be nuclear powered Arktika-Class Icebreakers. These ships would be constructed in the Baltic, Murmansk, and Arkhangelsk.[/sub]

PALACE OF WESTMINSTER, WESTMINSTER, LONDON, Canovia MORNING
[sub]For several decades, the military power of the United Kingdom continued to decrease as the Cold War was coming to an end and the need for a strong military became an outdated policy. It was under the leadership of Margaret Thatcher that the importance for a strong military was necessary especially during the Falklands War and slight Singapore Crisis of 1982 where Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands and Thailands attempt to invade Singapore. It was these conflicts that drove Thatcher premiership into increasing the defence budget and installing troops throughout Britains overseas territories.[/sub]
[sub]Since 1990, the priority of defence became less and less as the Soviet Union dissolved and the need for a large military was no longer necessary. With small conflicts in the Middle East a sizable military was maintained. However, with the drive of putting Britain back on the international stage, Boris Johnson outlined the need of a modernised navy that could compete with other militaries. Resigning before any other projects could begin, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak made it clear the United Kingdom would continue funding future projects for the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy with initiatives urging citizens to sign up for military service whether active or reserve.[/sub]
[list]RISHI SUNAK, Prime Minister: [sub]It is my firm belief that the United Kingdom can return to the world stage stronger than ever. For those who disagree with me, I can assure you that the defence of our nation has never been more important. The world is constantly changing and we must too. We will go forward with our projects. We will go forward with plans. We will once again build this nation and ensure security and peace. We are a nation of strong men and women. We cannot be weak. We cannot be vulnerable. We must be able to protect our interests here at home and abroad. We shall overcome all obstacles. God Save the Queen. God Save our Nation.[/sub]

SUGA ANNOUNCES HE WILL NO LONGER RUN IN NEXT YEAR'S ELECTION!
| The Suga Administration over the past 3 years has gone through good times and also dark storms that were not good for Prime Minister Suga, which was precisely the North Borneo issue that really gave Tokyo a lot of headaches when it came to terrorists and, of course, we can't forget the problems the Kingdom of Korea has caused Japan in recent years under the previous Seoul Governments, but Suga has managed to resolve this by putting the confidence of the Empire of Japan back under the Kingdom of Korea and Tokyo awaits let it last for a long time. Recently, the Empire of Japan was under international pressure in relation to North Borneo due to the various current events that have been taking place in the region, such as terrorists, police state, Japanese military, in other words, the region was practically a kind of open prison, which caused the Empire of Japan to be much criticized by the International Community along with the humanitarian crisis that was announced in early July by the Japanese Government given the situation of extreme poverty among the native population that resulted in an immigration to Malaysia, where Tokyo chose to close the borders and patrol the coasts of North Borneo But this whole problem ended up being resolved with a choice that was much debated by the Cabinet and the Prime Minister that it was the end of Japanese rule in the region, where there was a referendum and the majority of the local population of North Borneo voted in favor of joining to Malaysia again. |
| Now, at a press conference, the Prime Minister officially announces that he will no longer run in the 2027 General Election for the simple reason, Now what this nation needs is new leadership for a new Japan that is emerging with the end of the Japanese rule in North Borneo and consequently also the end of Japanese Imperialism . . . I will give opportunity to other candidates to lead this new country that is on the rise, I can say that this new Japan is a renewed, modern and clearly Ermanist nation!. With Suga exiting politics next year, a week after the press conference, Suga's successors have already been chosen to replace him, Fumio Kishida, 69, Sanae Takaichi, 65, Shigeru Ishiba, 69 and Taro Kono, 63 The most prominent candidate for the next Prime Minister of Japan was Fumio Kishida, known for his skills and experience, where he was mainly Minister for Foreign Affairs and Minister of Defense during the Abe Administration. Kishida has officially declared that, if elected in 2027, he will form a government that will focus on Japan's foreign affairs to further improve the Japanese Empire's image in the world and show the International Community that a new Japan is on the rise a Japanese Empire in favor of world peace and, of course, will make the future government fully transparent. |

[sub]| 2026 AUGUST | 0001 YS | Calls for Independence Heard Around the Kingdom | COPENHAGEN | OSLO |[/sub][/list][/list]
[list][list][list]Part One[/list][/list][/list]
The Kingdom of Norr felt silent. No longer was the cold northern wind a riveting spirit that emboldened the hearts of the Norsemen and women of the lands. The northern wind was a reminder of a bitter defeat in the north. Just a year ago, the once-honored lands of Finnmark were stolen from Norr by the Finnish state. Since then, a defeatist mentality has taken over the country, as the political flame for justice died out. The state of the Norse Kingdom has always been an interesting one. Ever since the reign of Queen Margrethe, the nation has held firmly together. Though brief calls for Icelandic independence were heard during the early half of the 20th century, all has been silent on these fronts as of late. The nation is comprised of three relatively distinct cultures with common ancestry. Held together by the binds of a language crafted in the icy fields of Largarhara by the Gentlemen Linguists during the 1800s. These thin binds have strengthened the resolve of the kingdom as the language, called Modern Norse, was exclusively taught in schools and used in the political sphere. The nation had made a crowning achievement by maintaining its borders and redefining its culture. Bringing back what had been lost centuries ago.
Fall and winter months are not easy for any people. They are cold and unforgiving. Like painful, infernal punishment wrought by something, anything. It matters not what brings the reckoning, it matters how one responds to it. The Norse have chosen to respond to their misfortune with penitence. The crisis was firmly in the minds of the Norsemen, it had been the centerpiece of global politics for months. But as tempers flared and fires grew so too did the winds blow. Soldiers having crafted a DMZ, politicians having ignored the pleas of their fellow man and civilians have run in all directions seeking less-turbulent lands to call home. Anywhere you once thought you had a home, there seemed to be no home. Norwegians, Icelanders and Danes were all ready to do what was right for their nation! They would beg their Prime Minister and their King to act! Act for God's sake! Yet their pleas fell silent on deaf, frightened ears. Cowardly kings and pusillanimous politicians all showing their true colors not for the first time in history. But what is a society of fools to do but cower when eyes are averted?
It started slow, like the fall of the first snowflake of a snowstorm. You might even look at it, laugh and think it is beautiful or cute. But upon waiting and seeing what was to return, you would look back and think how foolish you were to have not prepared for what would happen next. It started in Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland. The boots of rallied men were laced up and ready, proud and high-flying flags of Iceland adorned as frequently as they could be. The Land of Ice and Fire was ready to show what had been building below its surface and it came like a rumble from hell. Crowds of thousands marched onto the streets of Reykjavik shouting and jeering while they stomped their way to the Althing. Men and women of all creeds and backgrounds were united together to call for the immediate drafting of a declaration of independence for the nation of Iceland. Citing failure to provide adequate governance from Copenhagen and accusal of Iceland-born Jakobsdottir of displaying treason against her own people. First Minister of Iceland, Guðni Thorlacius Jóhannesson, was one of the first Icelandic politicians to agree with these calls of independence for the state. Citing quote; lack of courageous leadership during a time of great crisis, treasonous acts against the unified Norse people.
Questions of loyalty to the nation were made, as a King and Prime Minister could not be trusted to adequately lead the nation during a time of crisis. Calls for abdication, calls for impeachment, votes of no confidence everything was boiling to a grave point. What would the people of Norr do? As tensions continue to rise and rallies grow by the thousands each day, many of the Norse inner-nations are displaying their grief with abandonment. A proud union of states dwindling. A strong and glorious nation, a grand idea fizzling. Katrin Jakobsdottir again was silent on these protests. Her deafening, confusing silence was heard around the nation. What were her intentions? What was she thinking? This is clearly the beginning of a greater ending.

[list][pre]TAXES AND INTEREST RATES ARE LOWERED AS SPAIN MOVES TO IGNITE STRONG ECONOMIC GROWTH[/pre][/list]
[list]| [sub]MADRID -[/sub] [sub]In the early 21st Century, the Spanish economy was devastated by both the 2008 economic recession and the 2020-2021 COVID-19 pandemic, which crippled small businesses and confined many Spaniards in their homes. The Sanchez administration from 2020 to 2024 failed to revitalize Spanish economic growth and Pedro Sanchez ended his term as prime minister with a sagging approval rate due to slumping GDP growth and skyrocketing unemployment rates. The election of a pro-market and progressive Ciudadanos politician, Augustina Torres, into the office of prime minister saw substantial economic growth, thanks to the passage of the Madrid Economic Directive and the controlling of unemployment rates and inflation through the raising of interest rates. The economy didn't grow as much as it could have under the Torres administration as from 2024 to 2026 the Spanish Government pursued rapid military expansion and modernization. Under the new Toledo administration and interested in igniting strong economic growth as the turn of the decade approaches, the Spanish Cortes approved administration-backed directives to lower income taxes by 5% and interest rates by 2.5%, with the aim of stimulating economic growth in the country. Lower interest rates reduces the price of borrowing money, thus encouraging consumers to spend more, thus igniting economic growth. The Toledo administration is expected to roll out a new economic reform agenda for this year to further encourage economic growth sometime later this year.[/sub] |[/list]

[sub]Popularity of the Royal Family[/sub][/list]
BUCKINGHAM PALACE, WESTMINSTER, LONDON, Canovia MORNING
[sub]The Royal Family is a defining symbol of the United Kingdom. A symbol of unity and strength the Royal Family maintained high levels of popularity over the last few decades as the middle-aged and older generation viewed Her Majesty with high regards. However, even Her Majesty couldnt escape the numerous scandals committed by her children most notably Prince Charles and Diana, Princess Anne and her affairs, disgraced Prince Andrew and his activities with Epstein and Harry and Meghan making shocking claims against the Royal Family. Even with the dramatics the majority of Britains population supported the institution.[/sub]
[sub]With numerous polls conducted, it was revealed that besides Her Majesty, Prince William and Kate Middleton were the most popular royals in the family, followed by Princess Anne, her daughter Zara Philips and then Prince Charles and Camila. Disgraced royals of Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and Prince Andrew were highly unpopular with the population, often voicing their opinions about decreasing any royal rights to them. Many who took the poll stated they would rather have Prince William take over the throne rather than his father, Prince Charles. Many also stated that Camila should not get the title of Queen Consort but rather Princess Consort. With the opinion of the polls it gave the Royal Family much to think about. Should Charles abdicate or surrender his right to the throne in favour of Prince William to preserve the monarchys popularity and image? Should Prince Andrew, Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and their children face harsh punishments?[/sub]
[sub]With the announcement of Prince Charles becoming Prince Regent, Prince Charles has unofficially started his royal responsibilities in place of the monarch. Though carrying out royal duties, would it be enough to persuade the British public of Charles ability to successfully fulfil the duties of the crown?[/sub]

[list][pre]SPAIN'S BOLSA DE MADRID STOCK EXCHANGE TO PURSUE BLOCKCHAIN-BASED STOCK EXCHANGE BY 2027[/pre][/list]
[list]| [sub]MADRID -[/sub] [sub]The Bolsa de Madrid is the largest and most international of Spain's four regional stock exchanges that trade shares and convertible bonds and fixed income securities, and both government and private-sector debt. Bolsa de Madrid is owned by Bolsas y Mercados Españoles. Although the Bolsa de Madrid, also known as the Madrid Stock Exchange, is considerably smaller and insignificant compared to the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in Paramountica, the exchange serves as a major hub for Spanish stock investments and is a major contributor to Spanish economic growth. With the Spanish Government under Prime Minister Cayetana Alvarez de Toledo now pursuing rapid economic growth as its main goal, it was natural and expected that the Ministry of Finance would review the Bolsa de Madrid and look for ways to expand its operation and positively affect Spanish economic growth. On August 14, 2026, the Ministry of Finance announced that in cooperation with Bolsas y Mercados Espanoles, the Madrid Stock Exchange will be changed over to a digital blockchain-based stock exchange. A digital blockchain-based stock exchange allows for immediate stock exchange with proof of ownership, ensuring that naked shorting - an illegal practice in most countries - can't happen at all. Such a stock exchange system would also increase economic health drastically, further contributing to economic growth. Proponents of the switching of the Bolsa de Madrid to a digital blockchain-based stock exchange claim that it will also consolidate the fact that Spain is a rapidly modernizing nation, with strong technological potential. Estimates from the Ministry of Finance and the Bolsas y Mercados Espanoles state that the implementation of a block-based digital stock exchange in Spain through the switching of the Bolsas de Madrid is expected to be completed in mid-2027, with the first digital securities slated for trading by August 2027.[/sub] |[/list]

[list][list][list]Part Two[/list][/list][/list]
[sup]The following is a transcript from Danish author Jørg Preben Møllers Einstaklingar í Verkjum, an increasingly popular article written on the situation in Norr.[/sup]
We of the kingdom recognize that there is a growing gap between those in power and those below.
We of the below no longer see the struggles for recognition, understanding and action as sustainable.
We who have sought governmental action against our oppressors, our suppressors and our antagonists will no longer remain so idle. The many protests and riots held on the streets of Reykjavik are proof that there will no longer be silence in the wake of in-action. Katrin Jakobsdottir, the Governess, with her fine words and heated breath, cannot and will not represent those like me; those who are tired, upset and depressed. Tired of government stasis, upset with the status quo and depressed about our lost lands. Those who have been stolen from us, our Kven brothers, sisters and children, now barely rest in the streets of a forgettable, and long lost tyranny. It is unjust what has happened to the people who would have gladly voted in our elections, supported our economy and reflected our nation proudly to the rest of the world. And yet; they cannot. For their economic and cultural enslavement by the Tyrant has left them decrepit and forgotten by their homeland.
Those in Iceland are the proudest, truest Nords anywhere. They decided, together, that they would no longer bend down and accept being forgotten. These acts of freedom found in marches, in the flight of flags of their proud homeland and in cries for independence have left them unforgettable and their mark on the annals of history hath been felt. Never have the boots of the people crashed harder than any volcano.
Though the work done in Iceland is but the tip of this great iceberg of freedom. It will require the work of all Nords in order to feel the sting of freedom. There is nothing left to fight for. For the fight of governors and governesses have left us disappointed and disgraced, failed and forgotten. The silence of the state is felt and the empty promises of those we believed in are shameful and entrapping. I see nothing when I look towards the government buildings of Copenhagen and I feel nothing in my heart when I look at the old royal halls of Oslo. It is only when my tender blue eyes gaze upon the rising tide of popular movements that I feel anything anymore. It is with them that my faith has been restored. When I look upon the Danes, Icelanders and Norwegians who will no longer stand for a disorganized, untrustworthy union, my heart weeps with joy.
The Icelandic protests and riots are glorious. They are what helps define the times we live it. But it is only when all the nationalities react similarly that glory will be held. Cast away the Governess and break these shackles of bondage.

[list][pre]ARMAMENTS INDUSTRY SEES SUBSTANTIAL DECLINE IN VALUE EVEN AMIDST LOWER INTEREST RATES, SPARKING FEARS OF MARKET UPHEAVAL[/pre][/list]
[list]| [sub]MADRID -[/sub] [sub]The main Spanish stock market, the Bolsa de Madrid or the Madrid Stock Exchange, has in recent days received significant media coverage thanks to both government plans to transform Spain's largest stock exchange into a digital blockchain-based stock exchange by autumn 2027 and recent Finance Ministry reports on the current status of the market, particularly in the armaments industry. Recent statistics have shown that the armaments industry, led by the Spanish shipbuilding giant Navantia, has seen a significant decline in value amidst lower interest rates, with leading armament stocks declining by over 9 points in two days, causing shockwaves throughout the holders of those stocks who immediately started selling them in mass. The sudden decline in value for armament stocks ignited a small Finance Ministry investigation to investigate the causes of one of the deepest declines in value for Spanish stocks in several months. It was eventually announced that the decline in value amidst lower interest rates, which usually increase the price of stocks, was due to a lack of orders and contracts with the Spanish Government, who serves as the main customer of the Spanish arms industry. These developments have sparked fears of a potential market upheaval due to the sudden shift of Spanish Government funding away from local industries to foreign countries, depriving the local industries of much-needed funding. With armament stocks taking a significant dip in value, some claim that other industries - such as maritime - will take a blow in the coming days and weeks as well, mainly due to the lack of government contracts and recent Navantia strikes.[/sub] |[/list]

[list][pre]CALLS FOR SPAIN TO PRIORITIZE LOCAL INDUSTRIES OVER FOREIGN SELLERS IN ARMAMENT PURCHASES GROW IN NUMBER AS NAVANTIA REPORTS 25% SPENDING DEFICIT[/pre][/list]
[list]| [sub]MADRID -[/sub] [sub]The government-owned Spanish shipbuilding company Navantia was a maritime giant in the region and in the world, building both warships, cruise liners, and cargo ships to defend Spain's shores, transport people around the world on luxury cruises, and ensure global trade remains flowing. Under previous governments in the late 1990s to the mid-2020s, Navantia flourished as it received billions of euros worth of government contracts from both the Government of the Kingdom of Spain and international buyers in Europe and all over the world. Now, however, thanks to increased Spanish dependence on foreign nations for arms purchases, the company is about to go under, at least according to a recent announcement by the company. On August 19, 2026, an official announcement was released by the Navantia shipbuilding corporation announcing that the company had incurred a 25% spending deficit, meaning they were spending 25% more than they were earning. The announcement came as a shock to many, who were used to seeing Navantia as a usually successful, prospering maritime company. Questions were immediately raised over why the company had a 25% spending deficit, and almost immediately all fingers turned to face the Spanish Government, who had increased their dependence on foreign countries like France for arms purchases under the Torres administration. Over 25 billion Euros have been spent on foreign arms purchases since 2024, an extremely worrying number considering other factors like the sharp fall in value for Spanish armament stocks in the Bolsa de Madrid even amidst lower interest rates. Calls for the Spanish Government to prioritize local industries over foreign sellers in armament purchases are growing in number, with prominent Spanish senators and deputies calling for reform in Spanish arms acquirement methods.[/sub] |[/list]

MINISTRY OF ENERGY
Tunis-Buvda Pipeline Raises Questions about European Relations
Tunis, Republic of Maghreb
August, 2026
____________
[list]After significant negotiation with Italy and Yugoslavia, the Maghrebi Energy Ministry has announced a project to create a Liquid Natural Gas pipeline stretching through all three countries. The pipeline is projected at 605 miles long, crossing both the Mediterranean and Adriatic seas as well as bisecting the Italian peninsula. Beginning in Tunis, the pipeline will cross the Mediterranean and come ashore in Naples, Italy. It will then cut across Italy and submerge at Bari, where it will cross the Adriatic and end in Budva, Yugoslavia. The project has been estimated to cost roughly 10 billion dollars and is projected for completion in early 2029. The project will be executed by Ital-Yugo-Mag Holdings, which will be owned equally by Italy, Maghreb, and Yugoslavia.
The deal has created a political stir in Maghreb on the future of European relations and especially with Italy. As one of the first major programs of the Benkirane administration, some have viewed it as setting the tone for future interactions with Europe. This view has led to much criticism of the project and of the Benkirane administration as a whole. Though he came to power preaching defense against Europeans, he also called for political pragmatism. But the deal has created allegations that Benkirane is weak on Europe, and willing to tie Maghreb up with nations it was so recently attacked by. Political rivals have characterized it as bowing to Europeans. In a surprising but ineffectual move, several members of the far-right Abdulrahmanist National Unity Party called for a vote of no confidence against Benkirane. The vote failed but still garnered attention for the Assemblymen and to the issue at large.
Benkirane supporters though would be quick to point out several facts: as came to light in Abu Dhabi, Italy only participated in the Triple Alliance attacks at the behest of France. Italy-Maghreb negotiations proceeded relatively well too. They would argue this makes Italy a more acceptable candidate for cooperation than Spain or France. Supporters have also pointed out that the Pipeline is intended to be a significant economic gain for Maghreb, opening up a second market in Europe for Maghrebi natural gas reserves outside of pipelines into Spain and Italy. Responding to criticism that the move represents weakness in relation to European aggressors, Benkirane himself has pointed to his new set of defense policies currently tied up in the National Assembly, the so-called National Defense Initiative. The plan is being criticized for its cost and scope. Though the plan is gaining traction in response to Spanish militarization, it has raised concerns about the initiation of an arms race with Spain. The plan is currently being championed by Prime Minister Benkirane as well as Supreme Forces Commander Khalifa Haftar.
As an economic sideshow embroils him in controversy, Abdelilah Benkirane learns in his second stint as Prime Minister that things are not so optimistic as they once were. An air of humiliation hangs over all foreign policy matters. While initial goals called for further cooperation with Europeans, many Maghrebis now see those goals as smashed. Whether Benkirane can revive those ambitions is yet to be seen. Still, Maghreb is known to be in talks with other nations, primarily Alzarikstan and Nileia. So where shall Maghreb go next? Who shall its allies be and what will its interests look like? The answer to such questions might lie in an underwater pipeline across the Mediterranean.[/list]

[sup]USIN Military Parade Becomes Global Spectated Event
Abdulrahman National Square
Abu Dhabi, Union-State of Islamic Nations
August 2026
10:00 AM[/sup]
The Union-State of Islamic Nations has made significant strides since the ascension of Abdullah bin al-Hussein Abdulrahman as Grand Emir and then the recognized Caliph. From reclaiming the Arabian Peninsula plus Somaliland from liberal democrats, Arab Socialists, and terrorist insurgents via instigating the return of Abdulrahmanism, the Caliphate has been on a sharp increase in prestige, development, influence, modernization, and progression. With the opening of new markets and industries, alleviation of poverty, modernization of the Islamic Defense Forces, expansion of the economy, and the establishment of strategic military and economic agreements with global strategic partners to secure alliances in both directions of Peninsula, it is without question that Abu Dhabi has found itself on the verge of becoming a true, dominant regional power. Toward the end of August, to commemorate the successes of the Caliphate and the cultivation of a bright future, Caliph Abdullah bin al-Hussein Abdulrahman invited the world to attend the parade in order to get a real glimpse of the true Abdulrahmanist society of the Middle East. To the Caliph, he did not particular think that any country would want to be present; however, during the last week of August, to much surprise to the Abdullah administration, seven countries have reached out to RSVP to the military parade. With the influx of interested countries, Caliph Abdullah bin al-Hussein Abdulrahman decided that this must be the most memorable national pride event of the Middle East as the world would be watching this military parade. The Caliph came to the conclusion that this would be the day that the world would see the capabilities of the Peninsula and the ascension of Abu Dhabi in international affairs.
The influx of foreign media journalists initially was a logistical nightmare for the National Shura Council for the Interior, the National Shura Council for Defense and Security Integrity, and the National Shura Council on Foreign Affairs; however, once a structured protocol was put into place, proper accommodations have been implemented to provide journalists, media representatives, and foreign delegates the opportunity to give guided tours across the Peninsula, special tours within major cities along the Gulf of Abdulrahman, conferences on the ideology and origins of Abdulrahmanism, multiple museums, opportunities to speak with citizens, and more importantly, the opportunity to meet the Caliph a few days prior to the military parade. After the arrival of foreign media journalists into Abu Dhabi, the private jets of Heads of States, military representatives, military personnel, and diplomatic representatives began to pour into the Caliphate from the following countries:
[list][sub]Pentagon Officials led by Gen. Austin Lloyd from the United States of Paramountica
President Boris Tadić - The Republic of Pontianus
Marshal Haftar The Islamic Republic of Asharken
Bolsonaro via satellite The Republic of Kewtpuff
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan The Republic of Mesuvia
Prince Felipe VI & Wife The Kingdom of New Provenance
Government Representatives The Republic of Victoria Harbor[/sub][/list]
On August 28th at 9:00 AM, the call to head to Abdulrahman National Square was delivered to all foreign dignitaries. As the foreign dignitaries were escorted to Abdulrahman Square via their designated motorcades, what could be noticed is a plethora of USIN flags of seemingly every flagpole, government building, recreational park, airport and metro station, research and education facilities, religious buildings, and draping from the balconies of some buildings. On the sides of large buildings are beautifully painted murals of the Caliph, the Vice Caliph, the Grand Emir, the President of the Supreme Parliament for Shura and Governance. The men and women would be dressed in beautiful, traditional clothing of the Peninsula (thawbs, keffiyahs, shaylas, hijabs, etc.); however, what would be even more noticeable is that the kind of wardrobe worn indicated the status in the new socioeconomic hierarchy under Abdullah's rule as those with great distinction, in the military, Abdulrahman royal family members, and children of the elites wore luxury lenin suits and jubbah outfits bearing pins that said Allah in Arabic but made from emerald. Due to the impending military parade, foreign representatives, and the presence of the Caliph, an estimated 10 million people swarmed Abu Dhabi to be able to watch the military parade and listen to the speech of the Caliph. Men, women, and children can be seen waving smaller flags of the Caliphate while also carrying small and medium sized portraits of the Caliph and Vice Caliph. The air would be blessed with the smell of Arabian pastries and breakfast cuisines in addition to incense and beautiful fragrance, similar to the practices done at the Dome of Abdulrahman in Oman. No longer dirt roads since the 1970s, Abu Dhabi has only but expanded with modernized roads, sidewalks, pristine sanitation...an authoritarian paradise.
With the city structured and cut into districts with the government district in the middle of the city, the business district ripe with skyscrapers stood behind the government district in order to not block the gorgeous Palace of Nations as well as the various National Shura Council buildings.
Arriving at Abdulrahman National Square, the foreign dignitaries would be taken to the Caliph's Observation Deck while simultaneously appearing on the massive television screens in the Square that introduced them to the people and what country they represented. Seeing foreign representatives, civilian and military, gave the notion that Abdulrahmanism was heavily supported around the world; therefore, as each leader was shown on the screens, Arabs would applaud. The foreign and domestic media would be escorted to the sidelines of where the military parade would commence so that their equipment could be set up and ready to go for when 10 AM dawned and the event would commence. In the meantime, as the approved people to sit on the opposite side of the Observation Deck, approximately 2.3 million people, organizations would present cultural presentations of Arabia including dancing, clothing, singing, music, and short theatrical skits. Come 10 AM, the Abdulrahman National Orchestra would give an indication that it was time to begin.
Per the beginning of all military parades in the Caliphate, the Students of Allah Revolutionary Guard Corps of 70 soldiers (7 lines of 10) would make a slow goose step procession toward the Fire Pit of Liberation with each line bearing one flag of the Caliphate. With no emotion, the SARGC personnel would continue on their march as it was complete silence except for the echo of their foot steps. Each step made by the SARGC commemorated the 75 year movement of Abdulrahmanism to supplant the ideology as the political, social, military, and economic model of the Middle East. Each line wore different clothing to represent a generalized transition in time of military uniforms of the Peninsula. Arriving at the Fire pit of Liberation, six of the flag would be placed around the gold fire pit while the seventh flag, which would be the largest out of the seven, would become unfolded to be placed on a golden flagpole that was surrounded on four sides by smaller fire pits to be lighted. With the slow raising of the USIN flag, the national anthem would be played as the citizens in attendance and across Abu Dhabi would sing/hum proudly. As the flag raised to the top of the pole, the fire pits would be lit, which would be followed by the playing of trumpets to signal the arrival of Caliph Abdullah bin al-Hussein Abdulrahman.
With the sounds of the trumpets, the main doors that is only for the usage of the Caliph opened up as everyone stood to get a glimpse of Caliph Abdullah. Coming into sight, the people of the USIN would roar in excitement, support, and allegiance to their Caliph. With a smile on his face as the beauty of the decorations and the sign of utmost support from his people, Caliph Abdullah bin al-Hussein Abdulrahman would take a moment to soak it all in as behind him would be the Supreme Joint Chiefs of the Islamic Defense Forces, the High Commissioner of Police, Commandant of SARGC, Commandant of the AEDF, Director of National Intelligence, Vice-Caliph Hussein bin Abdullah al-Abdulrahman, Chairman of National Shura Council on Defense and Security Integrity Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa Abdulrahman, Chairman of National Shura Council on Foreign Affairs Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan Abdulrahman, various other political and military elites, and more importantly, the new Oligarchs. Caliph Abdullah bin al-Hussein Abdulrahman was dressed in a military ceremonial uniform. As Caliph Abdullah slowly made his way to the front podium, the crowd would continue to applaud feverishly, with smiles on their faces, waving the flags of the USIN and raising portraits of the Caliph and his son. As Gupta approached the podium, the Joint Chiefs and Abdullah's entourage would walk to their seats while still applauding. Caliph Abdullah was quite amazed at the turnout, including the 7 foreign countries being represented. Caliph Abdullah would wave to his people and would join in on the applause while giving nods to his foreign guests. Walking to the left side of the Observation Deck podium, Caliph Abdullah would wave slowly and keep his hand raised in position to bask in this glory (OOC: similar to what Saddam did). All the while, the military and his entourage remained emotionless. This applause would continue until 10:15 AM until Abdullah stood at the podium bearing the national emblem of the Caliphate. Scanning his people as they took their seats and the elites standing behind Abdullah took their seats. After a few more moments, Caliph Abdullah would make his speech.
l Caliph Abdullah bin al-Hussein Abdulrahman l:
[list][list][sub]My fellow Arabs, faithful Muslims of all backgrounds, and our esteemed guests. Today...in this very moment, the true power of the Peninsula is being felt around the world. An awakened people once more has found its purpose. An awakened people have once more said enough is enough and we will not be pushed over or simply ignored! There is an undeniable truth that the world is facing and it is because of the determination, innovation, ingenuity, dedication, and the perseverance of the Arab and Muslim people. And there is a reason for this: the Rule of Law and the Code of Faith. Here in the Peninsula, since the days of antiquity, the rule of law engrained in our traditional lineages has formed the absolute basis of our society. We have here through Abdulrahmanism: 'القانون هو ملك الملوك ، القانون سام ولكن الله أبدي:'. That is 'Law is the King of Kings, Law is Supreme but God is Eternal'. Such thoughts, which have been going on for thousands of years, is a big reason that every Arab has a strong faith in the judiciary, the legislative, the final decisions casted by the executive, and the preservation of the Faithful. Arabia is a great culture that is thousands of years old, a culture that has its own vibrant traditions, and which has encompassed universal dreams. Our values and culture see divinity in every being and strive for the welfare and progression of all. Therefore, the very core of our approach is public progression through public participation and this public progression is not just for Arabia but for the entire world. And that is the reason we draw inspiration from our motto: Collective efforts, for growth of all, with everyone's trust. And this too, is not confined within the borders of the Caliphate. Our endeavors are neither an expression of pity, nor a pretense. They are inspired by a sense of duty, and duty alone. But the dreams that these efforts are trying to fulfill, are the same dreams that the entire world has, that every country has, and that every society has. The efforts are ours, but their fruits are for all, for the entire world. And this conviction of mine, gets stronger every day, when I think of those countries, who, just like the Caliphate, are striving for development, each in their own way...and seven of them are here today with us! When I hear about their joys and sorrows, when I get to know about their dreams, my resolve to develop my country at a faster pace gets even stronger, so that Arabia's experience can be beneficial to these countries.[/sub][/list][/list]
[list][list][sub]Marshal Borak Abdulrahman wrote in 1950: "نحن ننتمي إلى كل الأماكن والجميع", which means "We belong to all places, and to everyone." This sense of belonging beyond borders is unique to the Caliphate.The issues that the USIN raises, the kind of new global platforms that Arabia has come forward to build, seek collective efforts to address serious global challenges and issues. We belong to a country, that has given the world, not war, but a method of peace for the most turbulent geographic space in the world. And that is the reason why, our voice against terrorism and subversive regimes and ideologies, to alert the world about this evil, rings with seriousness and the outrage. We believe, that this is one of the biggest challenges, not for any single country, but for the entire world and humanity. Modern technology in the 21st Century, is bringing about sweeping changes in social life, personal life, economy, security, connectivity and international relations. Therefore, we must learn to embrace this change...not isolate nor subjugate...but embrace. Thank you."[/sub][/list][/list]
With the end of his speech, Caliph Abdullah bin al-Hussein Abdulrahman would receive a standing ovation from the crowd as all media veered from being solely on the Caliph toward an overview of Abdulrahman Square, which was completely filled. The sounds of the crowd could be heard blocks away as they chanted for Abdullah as it was clear that all the individuals allowed to be at the Square were Right-Wing/Populist and Islamic Abdulrahmanists. Turning around toward his seat, Caliph Abdullah would shake the hands of the foreign representatives prior to standing at his throne-like chair. At 10:50 AM, the Chief of the Joint Chiefs and the Chairman of the National Shura Council on Defense and Security Integrity would appear on horseback to attend to a soldier check in front of the observation deck. With the approval of each group, the soldiers would yell to the top of their longs ALLLLAHU AKBAR!!!! as the Chief of the Joint Chiefs and the Chairman of the National Shura Council passed by. After the military check, the actual parade would officially begin.
In total, 150,000 soldiers would participate in the military parade from across all branches of the armed forces, including paramilitary forces. Dressed in their uniforms, some in face paint, the sounds of the stomps of the goose step would sound like thunder across Abdulrahman Square. Each battalion would chant their battalion slogan and raise their flags that showed their insignia along with the USIN flag. Dressed in a variety of camo fatigues and ceremonial uniforms, the civilian bystanders, especially the children, would salute the soldiers and chant along with them as the National Abdulrahman Orchestra played a marching song. As the soldiers passed the observation deck, demonstrated small arms and discipline, the soldiers would stare directly at Caliph Abdulrahman, who would be saluting them, to demonstrate their allegiance to him. From behind the passing soldiers, the following military vehicles would come into view and eventually pass the observation deck as the gunners looked toward Caliph Abdulrahman in a saluting stance:

As the military march continued, the media, foreign and domestic, would have a field day with the amount of weaponry being demonstrated at this military parade. Going back and forth between the weapons and Abdullah, it can surely be seen that the USIN's nationalistic undertone was on full display. With the moving on from the tanks, SAMs, and MLRSs, the next group would stroll by:
[list][pre]3 x Saud bin Muhammad Al Muqrin-10 Intermediate Range Ballistic Missiles

As the ground forces were continuing and close to finishing up, the sounds of aerial helicopter propellors and jet engines. Given black aviator glasses, Caliph Abdullah would look up as the Islamic Air Defense Force General pointed to the sky. With a smile on his face and putting his hands into a prayer notion, the people of Abu Dhabi would be graced with the sight of domestic produced aircraft as well as acquired aircraft from strategic security partnerships:

Toward the end of the military demonstration, 15,000 civilians would march holding large portraits of the Caliph and Vice-Caliph along with other propaganda portraits and lightweight statues as they waved flowers, chanted the name of Caliph, and revealed three new statues to be displayed in Abu Dhabi. After the civilian march, Caliph Abdullah would rise from his chair to wave to his people once more as well as to the foreign dignitaries before being escorted through his specialized main door to the observation deck and to his motorcade to return to the Palace of Nations

[pre]𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐈𝐎𝐑𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐉𝐈𝐇𝐀𝐃[/pre][sup][pre] | DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO[/pre][/sup]
[pre]DRC, North-Kivu: Mavivi 12:00 PM, around the outskirts of the small city of Mavivi, groups of HACA militia gather around for their biggest attack yet. The old ADF militia would've never had the gall to attack a large settlement like Maviv, sticking to smaller rural villages when the army wasn't around; now with the withdrawal of MONUSCO from the general area, it was time to make their presence known to the world. For the last months, the HACA had been testing the waters, ambushing army convoys to weaken the army's supply line and even setting up rigged car bombs to cause terror amongst the civilian populace. Commander Mufuta Ghani Omar with six platoons, totaling a hundred HACA militiamen, would target Mavivi as it was home to MONUSCOs former airbase operations but now under the control of the army. The plan was to raid the city and kill all government forces in a show of power, and more importantly, ground the local air force of the Congolese Army. Grounding the air capabilities would greatly empower the HACA to operate more aggressively and target other cities, and weaken the Congolese Armies' ability to patrol the roads or provide air support. Commander Mufuta and his men had been preparing for this moment for weeks, failure here was unacceptable so the mentality was to win big or go home. A victory here would mean one step closer to overrunning North-Kivu. At the exact hour of 12:00 PM, the silence was broken with Mufuta activating his radio to speak with his sub-commanders, simply asking if they were in position and prepared. Each platoon was positioned in different areas of the city to overwhelm and cause panic in the Congolese ranks, as the city hosted a small garrison force stretched throughout the city. The commander speculated that the garrison probably had around 200 or so soldiers in the city, with a few checkpoints set up at the entrances of the city. The focus of the attack would be the airbase, and Mufuta would lead this attack.[/pre]
[list][list][list]Commander Mufuta Ghani Omar {Men of the faith, are you ready? The time to make history is now. We will take the city and kill any infidels who stand in our way. Remember what we trained for and what the objectives are. 1st Platoon and 2nd, begin your assault on the northeast checkpoint, 3rd platoon begins making your way towards the city center from the northwest. Forth and fifth platoon, destroy the checkpoint in the east entrance and take the main street towards the city center. ALLAH AKBAR ATTACK!}[/list][/list][/list]
[pre]The assault had begun at the roaring of gunshots from multiple areas of the city. The fifth platoon led by commander Mufuta made their way towards the airbase through the thick bush, using it to their advantage to get close enough unnoticed. Once the base was in the range of their RPG-7s and their PKM machine guns they opened fire on the entrance watchtowers. The training they had undergone in Somaliland had great results, unlike some bumbling Congolese militiaman who sprays and prays, these warriors of the faith aimed with the precision of a hawk. The rockets hitting the towers, with the PKM rounds hitting soldiers who were standing at the gates. With the front entrance cleared, Mufuta gave the clear for his shock troopers to rush towards the base wall, hugging it tightly with the rocketmen and machine gunners sticking to their position to provide cover. Two men rushed towards the gate, placing an IED on the door to blast it open, once they set it up, they rushed back to the group and triggered the explosion. The front gate was now wide open and the Platoon stormed into the base. Congolese soldiers inside the base were in full panic mode. Most of the base soldiers were out of uniform or unarmed, with their guns in the armory. The few armed soldiers present were MPs but not enough to stop the storming of the base. The HACA militia men split into two groups, one group to attack the control center and the other to take out any aircraft stationed on the strip, military or civilian. The 1st and 2nd platoon themselves had opened fire on the northeastern checkpoint. The checkpoint itself was a simple sandbag fort, making it easy for their heavy cals to punch through at the Congolese soldiers stuck inside. Once the checkpoint was cleared the militiamen made a rush for the city center, eager to capture the city hall where the garrison commander resided. On the northwest side, HACA militiamen began pouring into the city and gunned down the occasional soldier or two caught in the chaos of the panicking groups of civilians. With little resistance, it wasn't hard for them to get themselves only a few blocks away from the city center. forth and fifth platoons sandwiched the eastern checkpoint entrance. Catching the Congolese checkpoint by surprise, one Jihadist heroically rushed the checkpoint and langued a grenade into the position. In a few seconds, the explosion cleared the remaining Congolese troops, leaving the eastern entrance wide open for HACA. It only took half an hour for the city to get overrun by the HACA, the Congolese Army had been effectively neutralized aside from the remaining forces fighting at the airbase. At the airbase, the MPs had managed to prevent HACA forces from pushing further into the airstrip or hangars, but the rocketmen had still managed to destroy a Congolese Mil Mi-24 and riddle another with PKM rounds. Which was the main strength of the air squadron. At the air control building, Congolese soldiers barricaded themselves in the building and the few armed had to shoot from the windows at the militants. Commander Mufuta deciding that they had met their goals ordered his men to withdraw from the base back into the bush. Back in the city center, the platoons linked up and are now prepared for their final phase in the operation. The gathering of significant individuals within the city into the church, such as the city mayor, garrison commander, community figures, local businessmen, and even the church clergy. Over the radio commander, Mufuta ordered his men to begin the final operational phase by murdering the gathered individuals and burning the church down to send the message. The HACA militants didn't waste time with taunts or ceremonies, they gunned down everyone and with two gas canisters started a fire. The platoons took to looting the city market for provisions and plunder, before withdrawing into the bush. Just 20 minutes later, forces from Beni arrived at scenes of death and destruction.[/pre]

[list][pre]SPAIN BEGINS CONSTRUCTION OF NEW EMPERADOR-CLASS CONVENTIONAL CATOBAR AIRCRAFT CARRIER[/pre][/list]
[list]| [sub]CARTAGENA -[/sub] [sub]On the 30th of September, 2010, the first ever Juan Carlos I-class amphibious assault ship and VTOL aircraft carrier, the Juan Carlos I, was commissioned into service under the flag of the Spanish Navy. The new vessel plays an important role in the fleet, as a platform that not only replaces the Newport-class LSTs for supporting the mobility of the Spanish Marine Corps and the strategic transport of other ground forces, but also acts as a platform for carrier-based aviation and replacing the now withdrawn Principe de Asturias aircraft carrier. The project was formally approved in September 2003 and the first ship was laid down in May of 2005. Although the carrier continues to serve the Kingdom of Spain well, the country began its foray into developing a conventional carrier for itself with the establishment of the failed Joint Strike Carrier (JSC) program, which was never officially eliminated but instead was forgotten and eventually shut down completely in February of 2025. With the JSC now done for but the military establishment still interested in developing a conventional CATOBAR aircraft carrier, this time all alone. The project was launched in March of 2025 and continued development throughout the past several months. Now, as September draws near, and the design for the new carrier, based of an enlarged Juan Carlos I design, is now mostly finished. Her Royal Majesty Queen Leonor of Spain attended a public press briefing at the Palacio de Moncloa where the new Emperador-class of conventional CATOBAR aircraft carriers were announced. On August 26, 2026, the first ship of the class, the Emperador, was laid down in the Cartagena shipyard. At 285 meters in length, the Emperador-class of aircraft carriers will be fitted with the CATOBAR launch and landing system, allowing for conventional aircraft to be used on Spain's next-generation carrier. The carrier is set to be launched in December of 2028 and commissioned in April of 2029.[/sub] |[/list]

REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES | REPUBLIKA NG PILIPINAS
[list]| Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) launches road infrastructure reforms to curb traffic | AUGUST 2026[/list]
[list][list]| [sub]The Philippines and the capital region of the National Capital Region (NCR) is infamous all over the world for incredibly long lanes of traffic and road congestion, with some reports saying that an average Filipino office worker spends at least two hours of his or her day on the road, doing absolutely nothing, stuck in traffic along the main avenue going through the capital, Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA), the main highway running through the capital, the South Superhighway and the Skyway elevated highway. All three routes to move up, down, and around the Metro Manila area are regularly congested, especially during rush hour when people are getting to work or going home from work. Even when toll booth prices for Skyway and the South Superhighway were raised, congestion remained the same and people spent the same amount of time on the roads, but now paying more to use the highways. Since Metro Manila is the most densely packed city on the planet, with over 21.3 million Filipinos living in the urban area, encompassing an area of 619.57 square kilometers, or 239.22 square miles, the traffic is understandable, but is indeed unbearable.[/sub] |[/list][/list]
[list][list]| [sub]The Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) is the main public infrastructure government agency for Metropolitan Manila, but is widely known by many as the Metro Manila traffic enforcer department. Indeed, the MMDA's responsibilities are now mainly composed of traffic rules enforcement, which is achieved by stationing traffic enforcers on intersections and other major junctions throughout Metro Manila. With approval from the Philippine Senate and the Benigno Aquino III presidential administration (2010-), MMDA chairman Benjamin Abalos Jr. announced the 'Free Roads Initiative', a P40.2 billion or $800 million dollar government initiative to reduce traffic in the Metropolitan Manila area by at least 25%, using methods such as technology, CCTV cameras, and upgrades to buses and other existing public transportation methods.[/sub] |[/list][/list]
[list][list]| [sub]The Free Roads Initiative plans to use the following methods to achieve its goals of reducing traffic and road congestion in Metro Manila. CCTVs will be installed at junctions to allow traffic managers to see breakdowns, collisions, and other causes of congestion. Combined with good communications systems with the newly established Road and Highway Enforcement Authority (RHEA), the police and other emergency services, this can ensure that traffic manager receive advance warning of issues that will impact their network. All CCTV equipment installed will comply with the minimum standards required to support legal enforcement. In combination with this, the establishment of the Road and Highway Enforcement Authority (RHEA) and the subordinate Metro Manila Network Monitoring Command (MMNMC), the CCTV network will be used by traffic managers and other personnel serving under the MMNMC to ensure that all sources of congestion are eliminated as soon as possible. The reform of the road traffic law enforcement scheme will also be implemented to ensure that all existing and future road traffic laws dedicated to ensuring that drivers keep moving to their destinations smoothly and without major interruption are followed by all users of Metro Manila roads and highways. Reforms on traffic management through the being-debated Modified Metro Manila Traffic Management Act are also being discussed. The modernization of already-existing bus routes and train routes will also be modernized to both increase the quality of public transportation in Metro Manila.[/sub] |[/list][/list]
[list][list]| [sub]These new measures to curb extensive traffic in the Metropolitan Manila and the NCR regions are slated for implementation as soon as December of this year, with full implementation of all measures set for January to February of 2028.[/sub] |[/list][/list]

VICE NEWS DOCU-SERIES: THE DARK SIDE OF THE CALIPH
HBO & SHOWTIME begins to air the episode with trademark opening leading to a black screen as the sounds of reciting the Shahada followed by gunfire and goose stepping became more prominent. The words "Vice News" would come onto the scream in their iconic large, bold white letters but would slowly turn to the colors of the Caliphate's flag. With the sound of a gunshot, the screen would go black. Coming into focus would be the Vice News crew of Isobel Yeung, Shane Smith, and Suroosh Alvi at the NYC International Airport awaiting their plane to Abu Dhabi via Etihad Airways. With upbeat music, the pictures and videos of the crew lounging around and being goofy would appear like a collage. With 10 minutes until boarding, the first dialogue would commence as the crew would be sitting at a small restaurant in the airport finishing up breakfast and paying their bill.
l Isobel Yeung l:
[list][pre]"Soooooooo...like...we're going to the Caliphate! Like my god and quite honestly...this sounds more like a filmed vacation than an actual investigative docu-series. I mean look at this pictures!"[/pre][/list]
Isobel would flash through Google Images many pictures of Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Muscat, Sana'a (after extensive reconstruction), Riyadh, Jeddah, etc.
l Shane Smith l:
[list][pre]"I mean yeah it is basically a filmed vacation in one of the most beautiful places in the world...but there is just something about this country that just does not sit well with me and some people across the media. I don't know if yall remember this but a few months back, an anonymous individual leaked that the Caliphate is not as free as they are proclaiming themselves to be. Check this out -"[/pre][/list]
The PA would come on calling for the boarding of the plane heading to Abu Dhabi. Getting up from their table, the crew would walk over to the boarding area, where their business class was called first to board the plane and greeted by very friendly flight attendants and the captain. The Vice News crew would be assigned to the "Residence Apartment" part of the plane, which includes a bedroom, living room and an en-suite shower room. Etihad uses both the Panasonic eX2 and the Thales TopSeries i5000 in-flight entertainment system with AVOD (audio-video on demand) system on its new long-range aircraft. Etihad brands this system as the "E-box". International destination fleets have a plug-and-play system which works on USB technology, that allow passengers to play their own audio, video and picture media.
Finally situated on the plane and demonstrating having a good time and eating various foods and wine representing the Caliphate's high luxury lifestyle, the Vice News Crew would finally get the privacy they needed to begin looking through some of the videos and footage that they received through the dark web as well as anonymous sources primarily in Yemen and Somaliland.
l Shane Smith l:
[list][pre]"So here is a video from an individual that wants to go by the name 'Mahmoud'. In the village of Nadj Qu'af that's deeply tucked into the Sarawat Mountains so completely isolated from any media coverage or real attention from the more metropolitan areas..."[/pre][/list]
The video would be a little grainy but it would be clear enough to see personnel from the Students of Allah Revolutionary Guard Corps (SARGC). The SARGC personnel would have 10 people in a line interrogating them about the degree of allegiances they have toward the Caliph. The SARGC personnel would be seen beating at the legs, arms, and back of men and women, who were stripped from their garbs. The personnel could be heard yelling at the people being interrogated, who were then told to lay on top of each other appearing like a pile of dead bodies and were commanded to lay motionless. The commanding officer present would tell the tribe that if they did not keep their loyalty and allegiance to the Caliph, then they will be just like that pile of bodies. The video would end.
It would become visibly evident that the Vice News crew was deeply disturbed at this visual. It would become even more disturbing that this was only one of apparently 100s of videos uploaded onto the web but blocked within the Caliphate and pushed to the Dark Web, away from the public eye.
l Suroosh Alvi l:
[list][pre]"It's just so concerning ya know...like here we are enjoying the luxury of Etihad Airways and the pleasantries given to us in the form of comfort, food, and drinks on our way to honestly the emerging leading power of the Middle East...but we know very very little about it because of this ideology of Abdulrahmanism. It's like -[/pre][/list]
l Isobel Yeung l:
[list][pre]"Sorry to cut you off Suroosh but you bring up a good point. The USIN has been able to essentially flirt and sway the international community with its developments and monopolizing large swaths of the global energy market, and countless investments in developed and developing nations but nobody really knows the internal power fabrics and structures that have been implemented on the Peninsula that is feeding this growing entity. I mean if the warnings Mahmoud gave us via Telegram, it is as if the Caliph is like a Benevolent Saddam. The only thing that separates Abdullah from Saddam is the money and the ability to hide this autocratic reality he is building and his son will inherit."[/pre][/list]
l Suroosh Alvi l:
[list][pre]"Well I personally do not think that Abdullah wants to commit crimes in the same fashion that Saddam did being as that although Saddam was calculative as a leader, his unstable upbringing destroy his potential of rational thinking and strategic long term planning. He cared more for providing the visualization of his brutality to keep stability by any means necessary. The Caliph is different than that by a long shot. This video does demonstrate that there is brutality here but it is seems that it is only...and this is just my personal look...within the regions of the Caliphate that is not within the proximity of what I would personally call the 'Abdulrahman Core'."[/pre][/list]
A map of the Caliphate would come up to view with the Arabian Gulf being highlighted in a darker royal purple and the farther away from the Gulf, the lighter the purple became.
l Suroosh Alvi l:
[list][pre]"So the Abdulrahman Core I think pertains to the area of the Caliphate where essentially all the power is centralized because of the actual movement dating back to 1946 and leading up to 1952, where the first ever Abdulrahman Republic was constructed in Muscat, Oman under Marshal Borak Abdulrahman. I firmly believe the 'Core' Abdulrahman cities are Muscat, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Manama, Riyadh, and Doha. Secondary 'Core' cities would be Sana'a, Jeddah, Hegasia, and Aden. Mecca and Medina are the projection cities for Islamic Abdulrahmanism but traditional conservative Abdulrahmanists all inhabit those major Gulf cities, thus the vast majority of the wealth, decision-making, development planning, and ideological fervor is concentrated in the region...so much that they refer to the Arabian Gulf as the Gulf of Abdulrahman. In the 1970s and 1980s, they constructed a massive 'Dome of Abdulrahman' in Oman, which is essentially equivalent to like a holy site but for a single dude that brought a political ideology to combat Socialism in the Middle East and unite Arabs...but the Caliph has managed to take it to a whole different level as now Abdulrahmanism has infused Arabism with Islamism thus creating this weird yet oddly successful blend of Pan-Islamic Political Arabism."[/pre][/list]
The camera crew would veer to Shane Smith, whose face would demonstrate deep thought and intrigue.
l Shane Smith l:
[list][pre]"So essentially from what I hear, there are two bubbles of reality basically within the Caliphate. There is the Abdulrahman Core, as you alluded, near the Gulf coastline, where life is just amazing and there is little to no complaints and everyone is kumbaya. But then there is Yemen and Somaliland, who were incorporated through war and are now victims of mass social engineering at the hands of the Caliph? Is there no development in these areas? Honestly to me, this sounds more like Abdullahism than Abdulrahmanism beca-[/pre][/list]
l Suroosh Alvi l:
[list][pre]"Well you are correct in your first statement. There is major development going on in Yemen for reconstruction and resource extraction and the development of more stable infrastructure, education initiatives, etc. The same in Somaliland. That is without question but it is done to erase their distinctive pasts and further incorporate them into the collective Abdulrahman psyche if that makes sense. To your third question, no not at all because now, to bear the last name Abdulrahman has become aligned with social prestige since the royal families have attached Abdulrahman to the end of their names to illustrate a united monarchical entity. Pulling their assets together, that's well over $2 trillion in wealth assets on top of the nearing $3 trillion economy. Since the 1980s, Marshal Borak was considered the official Eternal President of Abdulrahman, hence why in Abu Dhabi, you will always see paintings and pictures of the Caliph, the Vice-Caliph, and the Marshal together in one picture of 3 individual portraits together. Abdullah sees himself as the manifestation of the works and life of Marshal Borak Abdulrahman but to even add to that, he is a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad, therefore, he has the Islamic legitimacy on both the Sunni and Shia side....practically untouchable at this point."[/pre][/list]
The camera would zoom out to look at the three members of the crew looking through e-mails and observing pictures from Somaliland of people being shot at the wall for attempting to flee the Emirate of Somaliland as well as protesters being beaten and handcuffed in Somaliland and parts of Yemen. Snippets of videos of police and SARGC personnel kidnapping men and women were heartbreaking but to top it off would be an e-mail chain of indicating the possibility of re-education concentration camps within the Sarawati and Ogo Mountain ranges. It is feared that there could be labor camps as well but it has not been verified at the moment.
After continual small chatter, the members of the crew would go to their individual bedrooms to watch movies or listen to music while looking through the window at the bright blue sky over the Atlantic Ocean but even that did not make them feel right because they were living the luxury and buying into the illusion of equality within the Caliphate and the smoke and mirrors of Abdulrahmanism. Seemingly all three had a copy of both the original manifesto of Marshal Borak Abdulrahman and the revised manifesto written by the Caliph, when he was the Grand Emir. Even on the idle screens of the televisions on the plane would be various pictures of not only places to visit in the Caliphate but also various pictures of the Caliph and his son, which gave the Vice News crew a sense of being welcomed into the world of the Caliph and having to play by his rules.
After a 12 hour 45 minute flight, the crew would arrive at the Abu Dhabi International Airport. As the plane descended, the imagery was that of literal paradise. The business and corporate districts gleamed of large skyscrapers of various designs as the shine reflected off the hundreds of heat absorbing windows. The captain would point out the gorgeous Palace of Nations as the residency of His Holiness Caliph Abdullah bin al-Hussein Abdulrahman while pointing out the various other executive buildings belonging to the National Shura Councils. Abu Dhabi from above appeared as a strategically designed city with designated districts and enforced hyper-cleanliness to keep the aesthetics of political, cultural, social, religious, and even geopolitical purity. The bright blue waters of the Gulf gleamed perfectly with the pure white roads and sidewalks, residential areas, and small business districts with the occasional domes colored along the spectrums of blues, reds, greens, and yellows while also mixed with small minerals to reflect from the sun. It was highly noticeable the amount of flags present as well as the large and small murals and portraits of the Caliph indicated by Mahmoud. Despite the reasoning of the flying to the Caliphate, the Vice News Crew was genuinely intrigued and excited to visit the Caliphate.

[list][sup]THE STEADY CLIMB
FINLANDSUMMMER 2026[/sup][/list]
A great many politicians and celebrities and Finland have gratefully taken to calling 2026 "the Quiet Year", owing to the uneventful nature of the first nine months of the year compared to the chaos of the Finnmark Crisis of late 2025. The whole of government policy in early 2026 was dedicating to handling the economic consequences of the Crisiswhich strongly stunted the annual growth of the Finnish economyand restoring faith with Finland's overseas allies. President Alvi Karvonen has shoved domestic lawmaking in a decidedly nationalistic direction, giving protectionist answers to questions of policy and never tiring in asserting that Finno-Ugrian culture must be preserved both at home and overseas. Nonetheless, Karvonen has made no attempt to quiet or subdue the Swedish minority in Finlandobservers persistently note that Karvonen cannot afford to be seen as any more a conqueror or oppressor than the Western media already sees him.
The year would surely continue in quietude. Karvonen was reeling from 2025recovering will be long and uneasy.

FLASHBACK : AS GERMANY CLOSES THE GAP, THE RESERVE ARMY ABANDONS THE POLISH FRONTIER
German Forces, which heavily outnumber Sorb defenders in Heringsdorf make more rapid progress than was initially expected, due to the sorbs now even having to face resistance forces behind their own frontline as Germans in the Town create barricades in the narrow streets and block roads to harass the retreat of the northern Battlegroup. While only days before the Sorb Air Defense Network was standing strong against the Germans, the constantly shifting military situation coupled with German long range artillery bombarding Sorb lines of supply has made it increasingly difficult to maintain an area of relative safety above their own Area of Operations. It was certainly becoming accurate that Battlegroup North was less of an Army and more of a ragtag bunch of Units at barely half of their intended strength, leaving only Battlegroup South with sufficient Forces for large scale warfare against the Germans, though naturally being currently engaged with preventing the Germans from landing in the south of Usedom.
Highway 111, stretching from the northern section of Usedom Island is clogged with Vehicles both still moving and burning as a result of German Air Attacks. Sorb Propaganda has tried its best to turn these disturbing images into some form of push for greater sacrifice, with images of burning corpses hanging out of tank-hatches being one of the more shocking images being portrayed on TV-screens back home. Where possible it is emphasized that the Germans kill with no honor, no mercy. According to those images and broadcasts, the Germans would gladly see every last Sorb killed, down to the last woman and child. It also tells of a great loss of life that is occurring on the frontline, especially for the northern Battlegroup which has taken the brunt of the attacks.
Of the 3,600 Regulars and 4,000 Conscripts that Battlegroup North had at its disposal at the start of the week, only 1,847 Regulars and 2,283 Conscripts remain. Their Anti-Aircraft installations all but destroyed, and their Mil Mi-28 Gunship complement completely battered and abandoned in northern Usedom, they now retreat in a south-eastern direction in order to meet up with Battlegroup South so they may be cannibalised to not just return the Southern Battlegroup to full capacity but also slightly increase upon its overall numbers.
In Armored terms the rapid changes have become painfully apparent, with T-90s on the frontline being replaced with older T-80, T-72 & T-62 models, mainly donated by Russia in the previous months as a precursor to invasion. Especially in terms of anti-tank weaponry however is the degradation visible, with 9M133 Kornets (1998 model) being supplemented with 9K115 Metis (1979 model) units and even the SPG-9 recoilless Rifle which was supposed to be reserved for Reservists and the mothball-stockpile. In a move even echoing half a century prior, KS-19 (100mm anti-aircraft guns) which had served well in conjunction with Radar against low flying aircraft, was now being pressed into anti-tank and direct fire roles to fill the rapidly growing gap of equipment.
As an Emergency measure, the Reserve Army (formerly stationed along the short Border with Poland) has been ordered to abandon its posts and instead take up positions along the Eastern Bank of the Świna River, the River which runs through the Sorbian Capital of Swinoujscie. While this does leave Sorbia open to a potential Polish contingent moving into the Country, it is the only possible course of action as with the dangerous situation in the west it would otherwise be possible for the Germans to merely outmaneuver the Sorbian Army and move into the City mostly unopposed. Despite possessing Weaponry of a lower technological caliber, it is hoped that by prematurely ordering them to move they can better dig in and therefore increase defensibility.
Even with the Germans just miles away however, the Sorb Regime cannot afford to abandon its machinery and stockpiles on the western bank just yet, having ordered all Civilians to remain at their "posts" until a planned evacuation to take place in the near future. This is most relevant for the Countries only Munitions Factory which lies directly on the western Bank overlooking the River, and exists as the largest employer within Sorbia itself. Providing a large portion of Munitions used by the Sorbs they are not only being kept open, but also being included in the defensive plans with Anti-Aircraft and Anti-Tank positions flanking the Factory. In total in a 24 hour period they are currently churning out 240,000 rounds of 7.62mm alone, without including some smaller batches of other calibers. Larger shells such as Tank and Anti-Tank Shells are taken directly from stockpiles in the east of the country however, purchased actively from the Russians.

ITALY HOLDS PEOPLES REFERENDUM TO DETERMINE MULTIPLE CIVIL RIGHTS LAWS
SEPTEMBER 2026
The Italian Coalition Government (Brothers of Italy + Lega) have begun a campaign of possible People Reforms meant to determine the Italian People's views on certain issues once and for all in a large scale national Referendum. They have argued that holding a singular large Referendum is much cheaper and more responsible in the long run than holding many smaller Referendums over the course of one or two years, thus speeding the democratic process and showing them the red lines of human rights that Italians dont want them to cross. Importantly, the issues up for debate in the Referendum do not apply to the Provincial States of Albania, Croatia and Slovenia, which retain their own civil rights code. It was additionally argued by the Coalition Government that it would also allow quicker commentary from the European Union itself, which might find issue with certain changes, thus making the overall implementation easier.

[list][pre]DEMOCRACY COMPROMISED?: STATUS OF SPANISH DEMOCRACY IN THE WAKE OF THE MAGHREB CRISIS[/pre][/list]
[list]| [sub]MADRID -[/sub] [sub]Although several months had already passed since the end of the Maghreb Crisis and the subsequent acquitting of Pedro Sanchez, widely regarded as the person responsible for inciting violence between Spain, France, Italy and the Republic of Maghreb, questions continue to be raised over the status of Spanish democracy and whether or not the people truly have a say in the foreign affairs and foreign arrangements of the Kingdom of Spain. These questions were indeed raised during the Sanchez impeachment trial and the investigation into the causes of the Maghreb Crisis, but the voices raising these questions were small in number and had no significant power to wield. As a result of this, these questions were thrown into the dustbin of the history as June rolled over and people moved on. However, with Spain revitalizing relations with the Caliphate (Alzarikstan) and plans for a Casablanca conference with the Republic of Maghreb (Asharken) coming into fruition, questions have been raised over both Spanish sincerity with these efforts to strengthen relations with two countries with which Spain was previously essentially at war with, and whether or not the Spanish people or even the Cortes Generales have a say in the foreign affairs and foreign arrangements of the Spanish Government, the latter being a question raised in the past, as previously mentioned. Calls for the establishment of an investigative committee into the powers of the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Spain began to rise, as suspicions that the limitations on the PM were violated under the Sanchez and potentially even the Torres administrations in the past two years. At first Spanish Prime Minister Cayetana Alvarez de Toledo and her administration were hesitant to accept, but pressure from the Cortes Generales and calls for the Toledo administration to be investigated as well forced them to concede. The Cortes Generales approved the establishment of the Special Investigative Commission on the Powers of the Prime Minister, attached to and reporting directly to the president of the Spanish Senate, the upper house of the Spanish Cortes. Indeed, Spain is classified by many both within and outside the country as a vibrant multiparty democracy, but is that still true in the wake of the disastrous and controversial Maghreb Crisis?[/sub] |[/list]

[sup]Copy that jumper...[/sup]
[sup]Over the blue skies of the Baghlan, a Soviet Galina or Mil Mi-24 helicopter hovers over the rugged landscape of Afghanistan. For the last few weeks, the local Mujahadeen forces had been harassing the supply lines that provided for the various Soviet military operations in the area. Last week alone, seven Soviet caravans were ambushed resulting in the death of 30 comrades. In response, the Soviet Command Center in Kabul authorized the use of Galinas to patrol the areas. It was extremely effective for a long time, the Galinas were flying tanks, able to spew high caliber bullets that turned a man into pink mist or multiple rocket salvos that turned men into dust. The rebels called the Mi-24 "Shaitan-Arba" (Satan's Chariot)". In one case, a Mi-24 pilot who was out of ammunition managed to rescue a company of infantry by maneuvering aggressively towards Mujahideen guerrillas and scaring them off. The Mi-24 was popular with ground troops, since it could stay on the battlefield and provide fire as needed, while "fast mover" strike jets could only stay for a short time before heading back to base to refuel. Besides protecting helicopter troop assaults and supporting ground actions, the Mi-24 also protected convoys, using rockets with flechette warheads to drive off ambushes; performed strikes on predesignated targets; and engaged in "hunter-killer" sweeps. Hunter-killer Mi-24s operated at a minimum in pairs, but were more often in groups of four or eight, to provide mutual fire support. The Mujahideen learned to move mostly at night to avoid the gunships, and in response the Soviets trained their Mi-24 crews in night-fighting, dropping parachute flares to illuminate potential targets for attack. The Mujahideen quickly caught on and scattered as quickly as possible when Soviet target designation flares were lit nearby. But the Afghan environment was not kind to the Galinas, the dust and heat, in particular, made maintenance a pain for the crews. The Soviets had to actually design a new air filter for the helicopter, as the constant dust created problems for the engine. As the war went on, however, the dushmen became more precise with their RPG-07 missiles, but the smoke from the missile allowed the pilots to spot them easily and counter them. However, the dushmen began using some new weapon that was able to pick the helicopters right out of the sky at great distances. Last month alone saw the loss of 3 Galinas alongside their crews. The only know method to counter these new missiles is to fly at incredibly low altitudes. The dushmen however, quickly took advantage of this by setting up Dshk machine gun nests to pick off the helicopters when they descended. Pilot Luzhkov alongside his gunner Boreyev kept their eyes peeled for anything moving on the hills. Luzhkov has had a few run-ins with the missile before, while the missile was deadly he managed to evade them by the skin of his azz before and he planned to keep that streak going.[/sup]
[list]Luzhkov:
Boreyev, you see anything down there?
Boreyev:
Negative, the ground is clear. I supposed the comrades on the ground must've done on a number on the dushman? It's about time we started seeing some results from these operations.
Luzhkov:
You don't give the infantry its credit Boreyev, despite being mostly rural bumpkins they know how to fight when the going gets tough.
Boreyev
Ah, the Moscow aristocrat sticks his nose to his fellow comrades eh? Might report you to the officers for such slander against the glorious red army!
Luzhkov:
Please do so, they might even send me home if I'm lucky, might even get to see the weaker sex instead of these bearded men and mules. I am so desperate for some female interaction!
Boreyev:
Why don't you get yourself an Afghan girlfriend Luzhkov? Those girls in Kabul University know how to show a man a good time, even taught me a few things hehehe.
Luzhkov:
I like my women with shaved eyebrows and legs thank you very much.
Boreyev:
Hmph, I see the Moscow aristocrat is too good for the company of his fellow Afghan comrades eh!
Luzhkov:
I'm not too good for our fellow Afghani comrades Boreyev...I just don't like women who look like men hehe hehe.
Boreyev:
F*ck you Luzhkov[/list]
[sup]As the hours went by, Luzhov received a transmission from the air command that it was time to return back to base. Overjoyed that their shift was over for the day, Luzhkov turned the Galina back towards the direction of the airbase, but as they ascended; Mujahadeen had spotted them. Using the stinger MANPAD, he took aim, waiting for them to elevate at just the right level so the stinger could lock on. This mujahadeen had undergone intense training in Pakistan, now was the time for him to prove himself to his peers, and what best way than to take down the Shaitan-Arba. Once the stinger notified him that it had locked on, he didn't hesitate, the blast was quick only lasting a single second. The stinger missile rushed into the air towards its target at full speed. In the cockpit, Luzhov instruments began beeping loudly, notifying him that the helicopter was locked on. Without a moment to waste, Luzhov screamed at Boreyev that a missile was heading towards them. He pushed his stick towards the ground to begin descending towards the ground as it was the only way to shake off the missile. If Luzhkov had not been quick to react then their Galina would've been shot out of the sky. But Luzhovs forceful descent causes the helicopter to begin losing control, Luzhov realizing that even if they evaded the missile, they'd end up hitting the ground, so he used all of his strength to pull the control stick upwards to regain control. Slowly he managed to regain control and nearly avoided hitting the tree line. Both men sighed in relief as they narrowly avoided death, but they mistakenly believed they were out of trouble. Mujahadeen forces on the ground, using their DhsK heavy machine guns focused their fire on the helicopter, only a few rounds and the rotor engine was hit. Luzhkov's instruments once again blared loudly as the rotor was losing power. Realizing that they were bound to hit the ground no matter what, Boreyev called the airbase to inform them that they were gonna crash and needed immediate assistance. With the motor reaching critical levels, Luzhkov yelled at Boreyev to embrace for impact. As soon as they touched the ground, the helicopter violently rolled over several times as the rotor hit the ground. Finally stopping when it hit a massive boulder, causing the helicopter to lay on its right side. Luzhkov had managed to survive the crash with only a few cuts to his face, but Boreyev's legs were mangled from the impact. Boreyev was howling in pain and begging Luzhkov for help, without hesitation Luzhkov kicked the side window open and threw out his radio and AK-74, he then carried Boreyev on his back. He tried to climb out of the window but Boreyev proved too heavy, with no other choice he had to toss him out the window causing Boreyev much pain. Luzhkov finally managed to crawl out of the wreckage, grabbing Boreyev and carrying him towards some boulders a few feet away as they would provide cover until help arrived. Boreyev however, was losing too much blood and he was fading in and out of conscience. Luzhkov did what he could but only managed to slow down the bleeding. Suddenly from the opposite side of the hill, they were on, Luzhkov could hear yelling and chants, it was the dushman arriving to see their handy work. Realizing they were going to be surrounded Luzhkov loaded his AK-74, he tried to get Boreyev to lean on a bolder so he could help him fend the dushmen off but Boreyev was in too much pain to do much of anything. Realizing it was just him against a whole group of mujahadeen, his hope of surviving this was crumbling. One of the dushmen spotted Luzhkov, telling the rest of his group, they all pulled out their weapons from their cloaks and the fighting began. Despite Luzhkov's best efforts, he was simply outgunned and he was soon stuck in the hip, the bullet taking a chunk of his flesh off. Now with both men downed and defenseless, the dushmen got closer and closer. Boreyev had heard stories of the dushmen executing POWS or worse, torturing them, a fate neither wanted. Boreyev simply looked at Luzhkob and presented a grenade. No words had to spoke, for both knew that this was the end. A couple of dushmen had rushed over to them, shouting who knows what at them, one of the younger-looking ones used the buttstock of his Lee-Enfield rifle to strike Luzhkov across his head. Another looked at Boreyev and began walking towards him, as he got close Boreyev just smiled at him and pulled the pin off his grenade.[/sup]

FOREIGN MINISTRY: FRANCE ALLOCATES FUNDS FOR 'EU GREEN POLICY' - NORMALIZES RELATIONS WITH MAGHREB
[sub]VTH REPUBLIC | PARIS, 2026 [/sub][/list]
[sub]| HELM OF DIPLOMACY, MINISTÈRE DES AFFAIRES ÉTRANGÈRES - | Earlier today a proposed budget of 8.5 billion euros was approved for what European diplomats are calling the 'EU Green Policy'. With France being a primary supporter of green policies in Europe and globally, it is no surprise that such a substantial amount would be allocated. France itself already spends billions of euros annually on it's own green policy initiatives such as building environmentally friendly buildings and funding research into new bio-fuels. In the meantime, France has taken diplomatic actions to normalize relations with the Maghreb (Asharken) and has agreed to finance the construction of nuclear power plants in the country while encouraging French companies to begin investing in the Maghrebi economy through King Mohammed's Societe Nationale d'Investissement (SNI) holding company. President Macron has stated that he "looks forward to reconstructing relations with the Maghreb." He also made it a point to say that "France's decade of practicing hawkish foreign policy is coming to a close with a more restrained and diplomatic approach to global crisis'." With that in mind, France will still continue to protect it's foreign interests and no calls have been made to order any sort of military deescalation or withdraws from Africa or elsewhere. | [/sub]

Welcome to COL!
In regards to your telegrams, you must go to your preferences and turnoff recruitment telegrams. It is common for new nations to get bombarded with recruitment telegrams in their first few weeks of being active.
