THE EMBASSY OF GERMANY IN FINLAND
----------------------------
DIPLOMATIC CABLE
Object: Letter of condolences and affairs update
Your Excellency,
By letter of the 25th of September 2025, the Ambassador of Germany in Helsinki informed us of the deadly accident involving the aircraft of the President Kai Mykkänen.
The Chancellor and the entire Government of Germany offers its deepest condolences to the entire nation of Finland and the People of Finland. We consider Finland as a close neighbour to Germany and this event constitutes a terrible tragedy.
The Government of Germany stands ready to offer assistance in the investigation especially if the aircraft involved is an Airbus or Messerschmitt aircraft. EASA also informs of its state of readiness.
It has also come to our attention of the recent tensions and events concerning cultural and identity affairs between the Norr Kingdom and the State of Finland. The Government has expressed worry about the possible deeper implications of such tensions and the movement from a simple expression of views to escalation into hybrid conflict. Therefore, the State of Germany expresses its invitation to mediate the situation in order to find a definitive and acceptable long term solution.
As always, the German nation stands with its Nordic partners in joy and in sorrow. The Embassy of Germany in Helsinki shall fly its flag half-mast for the duration of the mourning period.
With our deepest friendship,
THE CHANCELLOR
Greta Scheffner
THE AMBASSADOR OF GERMANY
IN FINLAND,
Tobias Von Poznitz

RESPONSE FROM THE PALACE OF NATIONS IN ABU DHABI
[list][list][pre]As the relationship between Tokyo and Abu Dhabi is important and essential, His Majesty Grand Emir Abdullah bin al-Hussein Abdulrahman I has agreed to welcome and meet Prime Minister Suga in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the USAN to discuss in length the relationship between Japan and the USAN in addition to the ongoing situation in North Borneo. Abu Dhabi is fully aware that Japan will not relinquish North Borneo and has maintained a treaty with Nusantara regarding the state of affairs within North Borneo. Nonetheless, the status and conditions of North Borneo Muslims is a very important topic and matter for the Grand Emir. Therefore, Prime Minister Suga has been approved to come to Abu Dhabi and meet with the Grand Emir in an official state summit.[/pre][/list][/list]

A few months ago it was reported by our intelligence agency that there were still terrorists in the region among some natives, so I made a plan with the Ministry of Defense to remilitarize North Borneo, but the plan eventually leaked out and we chose to use a strategy that did not involve the military, which was to expand our existing Police State on the main island (Empire of Japan) to North Borneo in order to protect the citizens and deter these terrorists. We have also renamed the 10,000 soldiers stationed in North Borneo the "Emergency Force Against Terrorism", but it is clear that this task force will only be convened if the police are in urgent need of military assistance. It is worth remembering that there were reports of attacks carried out by these terrorists against Japanese citizens and natives.[/list]

PM Abroad
PM Mateusz Moraweicki seeing how Polands naval fleet has not been updated in a long time, decided to visit London and meet with his counterpart PM Boris Johnson. Upon arrival, Moraweicki visited with five polish communities and had Poland invest 50 million into each of them, totalling 250M. He stayed with them dining on many different Polish dishes with British influences. He then headed to Downing Street to discuss the Polish Navy, and the British Polish relations. PM Johnson and PM Moraweicki agreed on a sale of one sub, the HMS Talent (S92) renamed the , two T26 frigates refitted for Polish uses named the Sopot and Gdynia, and a future ship under construction, a Type 31 named the Gdansk. Also thrown in the deal were four AS-90 mobile artillery platforms. The total cost was £10B for all. After meeting with Johnson, Moraweicki visited Queen Elizabeth, to present her with a limited edition bottle of Belvedere Vodka along with several other smaller gifts from around Poland. The two took a couple pictures and Moraweicki soon left to return home to Warsaw to move on to the next task. President Andrej Duda would show up for the official handover of the currently available ships and would join the PM in inaugurating them into the fleet. As for the Artillery units, they'd be sent to Czestochowa to be held there. Poland also would offer their condolences to to the Finnish people for their loss of their President, and would re-iterate their offer to mediate the conflict.

Some fun facts:
-While Iñiy Janajjpacha, the term used to describe the various traditions and beliefs of Incans, is enshrined in law and the constitution, most other religions are allowed the freedom to worship in order to avoid international condemnation, however, there are heavy restrictions on foreign missionaries (such as Mormon Missions).
-Most Mestizo and White citizens are located along the coast of Tawantinsuyu, especially around the city of Lima.
- The Nikkei are descendants of Japanese Immigrants living in Peru. Achiq Fujimori, a Nikkei, was the only non-Amerindian Prime Minister to ever be appointed to the position, and was the founder of the ideology:[spoiler=Fujimorism]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fujimorism[/spoiler]

THE DAWN OF A CONSTITUTIONAL STATE : ERDOGAN & HARUN
https://youtu.be/hWOmuL11g8w?t=11
SEPTEMBER 2025
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, being a long time supporter of the former Dynasty of the Ottoman Empire (IRL & IC, albeit careful supporter however) has since 2021 been building the building blocks of the Turkish State as he envisions it. Having slowly replaced Atatürks pictures in schools with his own, doing all in his power to mark himself as the Father of the Nation which would in turn allow him to be more proactive with certain policies and views rather than having to conduct prior research on the opinion of a man long dead. However, he has had his eyes on implementing a system that would not only solidify the powers he has been accumulating for all these years but give him a boost of legitimacy and perhaps even support. His plan, enacted today, established a Constitutional basis for a return of the House of Osman through Harun Osman (officially Harun Osman Osmanoğlu Effendi).
Indeed the House of Osman were supporters of his reforms to give himself more executive power, especially during the 2017 push to reform the constitution which during a period of decreasing support for said reforms was shored up by declarations by Harun Osman's own granddaughter, Nilhan Osmanoglu. But even a decade of support could not convince Erdogan entirely that a return of the Monarchy would be positive, hence he has ensured to make it a purely ceremonial role which while garnering support from the monarchists would not endanger his own grip on power. Harun Osman would officially become Sultan of Turkey, and Turkey would officially be known as the Turkish State (Erdogan being careful to call it a Kingdom/Empire just yet), however power would remain firmly and decidedly in Erdogans hands and any he deems fit to succeed him when the time comes.
In the eyes of Erdogan, with the neo-Ottoman views of his Party (both in foreign politics and indeed cultural terms) being aided by the Dynasty of that period it would assist in re-establishing many of the traditions of the period. That culture was attributed to being much more authoritarian and traditional in nature, something that if re-established would soften the introduction of his plans and give a longer life to the system he has spent over two decades creating. Architecture had been an easy thing to return, having promoted it since the mid 2010s onwards it has made somewhat of a resurgence especially in terms of Government buildings. Fundamental values would be more difficult to mold back into what they once were, but the potential fruits of such an act are without question and immense in scale.
Only time will tell if his decision has been a well thought and implemented one, after all such changes take time to show true benefits, however in the short term it immensely decreases the power of parliament beyond even the Presidential reforms he had conducted in the decade prior. Soon it would undoubtedly cause Turkeys western Allies to officially designate Turkey as an authoritarian State, despite having been so careful to tiptoe around the issue in the past.

______
MINISTRY OF ENERGY: GROWING ENERGY SECTOR PROMISES SAFE AND CLEAN FUTURE
[sub]VTH REPUBLIC | PARIS, 2025 [/sub][/list]
[sub]| HELM OF POUVOIR, MINISTÈRE DE LÉNERGIE - | Over the last decade France's energy sector has increased output substantially, with nuclear plants upgrading reactors for additional production capacity and solar and wind farms popping up all over the French countryside. Government funded crop farms have also began to spread sporadically as they produce corn, soybeans, and other plant based products used in the creation of bio-fuels. Meanwhile usage of coal plants, natural gas, and other fossil fuels used in the energy sector have been dramatically replaced by the abundance of clean, affordable, and safe energy solutions. With France being a net oil export country, most of France's fossil fuels are being sold to countries outside of Europe whom are still mostly dependent on said products. Unlike its neighboring countries of Germany (Bayern Kahla), Italy (Pontianus), and the United Kingdom (Canovia), France does not rely very much on fossil fuels and biomass for electricity or home heating thanks to an abundance of cheap nuclear power. Taken as a whole, the country therefore has superior air quality and lower pollution related deaths. Air pollution in France largely comes from cars and a minority is carried by the wind from Germany. Nuclear power is still the largest source of electricity in France, with a generation of 594.6 TWh, or 80.6% of the country's total electricity production of 737.7 TWh, the highest percentage in the world. Électricité de France (EDF) is France's main electricity generation and distribution company which manages the country's 74 power reactors. EDF is substantially owned by the French Government, with around 85% shares in government hands. In 2021 the top French nuclear reactor building company Framatome received a contract to re-purpose and expand Brennilis Nuclear Power Plant which was decommissioned in 1985. Construction plans indicate that four 2,000 MW PWR units be installed. This will give the plant a nameplate capacity of 8,000 MW, making it the largest nuclear power plant in the world, just ahead of Japan's (Philanialle) Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant. All of France's nuclear waste from power plants is either recycled or disposed of via Waste Solar PV which generates no nuclear waste, and minimal landfill material. The French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission has received a significant 5 billion euro increase in funding for the finalization of research and construction of the ITER or International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor. Upon completion of construction and first-plasma planned for 2026, it will be the world's largest magnetic confinement plasma physics experiment and the largest experimental tokamak nuclear fusion reactor, which is being built next to the Cadarache facility in southern France. The French Government plans to have a fully operational nuclear fusion plant by 2028. | [/sub]

[list][list] THE ORIGINAL CANADIAN CRISIS: A LOOK AT THE PARAMERICAN ISSUE
[/list][/list]
OTTAWA, Cascadla
[sub]PARLIAMENT HILL[/sub]
| Ever since July 4th, 1776, the Canadian Identity found itself under questioning. Always in the shadow of its more powerful neighbor to the south, Canada struggled to find justification for its existence. It's no surprise then that opposition to Paramerica is what defined Canadian culture for centuries. Countless legislatures, most notably the Canadian Publication Act of 1973 and the Canadian Broadcast Act of 1991, saught to limit the United States' influence in the country while artificially creating cultural sensations for Canada to call its own. Despite efforts of government intervention, Paramericans and Canadians still discover themselves celebrating the same holidays, watching the same movies, and traveling to the same sports games. Expectedly though, centuries of these Paramerican discouragements are not without consequences. The 49th Parallel does not only separate physical objects, but also nearly objectively homogenous thoughts and ideas on both sides of it. Almost tragically, the two most similar countries in the world find themselves divided by commonality.
Canadians would be entrapped on either side of a centuries-old debate renewed once again. This debate would not be fought by race, gender, identity, or political affiliation, but by an ever-increasing number of people whose decisions were made by their parents and teachers before they could form their own opinions. Now, one side of the debate would stand at Parliament Hill. American flags would lie on the pavement, trampled by thousands over the past hours. Signs would wave anti-American slogans and imagery, making provocative accusations. The marcher's cries would echo down the Ottawa streets, past the Prime Minister's office, past the Embassy of the United States, and into the rest of the world through the internet. At its height, fireworks would impact the massive glass wall above the Great Seal of the United States, sending pieces of glass pebbles to the ground. Prime Minister Andrew Scheer would address the issue from his office. |
[list]| [sub]Hon. ANDREW SCHEER, Prime Minister of Canada[/sub] | My fellow Canadians and citizens of the world, I ask of you today to put down your torches and pitchforks, for they are not pointed at your enemies, but your friends, colleagues, roommates, and family. The United States is not an enemy, but a people, an idea, a reality. A reality that is not much different from our own. We share the same struggles, and make the same troubles. We all strive to live up to our own elevated ideals. Paramerica is not without its problems and mistakes, but neither is Canada. Neither is Quebec, nor Benelux, nor Zaire. No country in the history of the world is exempt from faults. So I ask of you, lay down your arms, and open them up to the other side of the border.[/list]
| Dispite efforts to calm the crowd in Ottawa, the marches would continue. Luckily, no one would be killed in the chaos, but several would be seriously injured in clashes between interest groups. Three days of protests, riots, and damages in the capital city would leave Canada in a state of uncertainty, only furthering to heat up an already boiling political climate. |

| [sub]As the storm that had battered Seoul for several days made its way inland it would slowly grow weaker and weaker before disapating. Seoul was gridlocked by debris; and rescue efforts were ongoing. The city had learnt much from the disasterous 2011 floods in the city caused by a freak amount of rainfall, so far only forty-seven dead had been confirmed, although dozens more were still missing.[/sub] |
| [sub]The Environment Agency had begun work on draining the water from the subways back into the River Han, the water levels in the Han had begun to slowly lower although it still looked like a river of milk chocolate compared to its normal dark blue colour. Shop owners had begun to return looking at the damage sustained to their property and stock, shops looked like they'd been barricaded as stock wedged itself in doorways as the water levels poured over window ledges. Korea's tallest building, the Lotte World Tower, looked almost under construction. Windows had been blown out, floors had been almost cleared of anything not tied down, the lower floors had been caked in mud as the waters rose from the storm surge before subsiding again.[/sub] |
| [sub]The Government had thanked nations for the offer of assistance, accepting limited amounts of humanitarian aid, but insisted it was fully capable of such a large scale rescue and clean up operation. Korea had long prepared for many a disaster scenario, a nation that had become used to living in the shadow of its then northern counterpart had to have a plan for every possible event. Even now the two are united, successive governments have still made sure to have quick and effective plans and chains of commands to deal with natural and man-made disasters.[/sub] |
| [sub]The Finance deparment had given an updated estimate for damages, with the figure standing at around $3.0 billion, the government itself also now lacked an operable building following severe water damage to the basement and ground floors, although a solution was likely to use the restored grand hall and part of the covered court yard at Gyeongbokgung Palace. The Palace itself had suffered some minor damage to roofing tiles and the gardens had flooded, but the low-build of the Palace had saved it from further damage.[/sub] |

Lebanon, Beirut
Long before Dubai was Dubai, Lebanon was Dubai. In the 1950s, '60s and '70s it was a regional center for banking and finance, an entrepot and a playground for wealthy Arabs and Westerners. When the oil billions started to flow into the Gulf after 1973, it was Beirut banks that managed much of the wealth.
Fifteen years of civil war and the grip over the country variously by Syria, Iran and Hezbollah brought an end to that fabulous era. So did the exodus of the Christian Lebanese that had made Beirut what it was in its heyday.
Lebanons economy has been in slow-growth mode for years. Meanwhile, its debt has ballooned and today is equal to more than 150% of gross domestic product (compared with less than 130% for Greece on the eve of its financial crisis). Poverty is endemic. Infrastructure and government services are dysfunctional, as evidenced by piles of garbage in the street and sporadic electricity.
Today, For several years, Lebanon has been ravaged by compounding tragedies and crises. Specifically an economic and financial crisis following the Beirut blast of 2020 which has devastated the infrastructure and crippled the healthcare of Lebanon causing mass panic and severe casualties.
Anxiety at the lack of availability of dollars emerges on September 29, 2019, when hundreds of people take to the streets of central Beirut to protest economic hardship.
Mass protests follow a government announcement on October 17 of a planned tax on voice calls made over messaging services such as WhatsApp.
With the economy already in crisis, many see the tax as the last straw, with some demanding "the fall of the regime".
The government of Saad Hariri scraps the tax the same day.
In recent months there has been rumors of a military coup in the plans against Hariri, By a high ranking officer in Lebanon's military to execute Hariri and overthrow the government. This gained support of the vast majority of the people of Lebanon due to the current government's competence.
September
The rumors have proven to be true after dozens of military troops start to swarm Beirut at 7 AM setting up blockades commanding any Police officers to surrender or be shot on sight. While also instructing citizens to stay inside their homes.
More swarms of soldiers start patrolling the streets as some Civilians and Officers were killed for non-compliance as casualties reach 46.
The military commander in charge of the coup introduces himself on the broadcast system on TV. by the name of Khaled Al-Asad. Who in previous years has expressed interest in taking lead of Lebanon. Who is also known as a long time supporter of Ba'athism.
Military surrounds Hariri's presidential residence breaking in and kidnapping him as his family is executed. Soldiers throw him into a vehicle to transport him into the city square for the execution by the hands of Al-Asad.
Khaled Al-Asad speech:
"Today, we will rise once more as one nation, to face the corrupt and the traitors!"
Hariri is dragged into a car, and raises his tied hands as he is about to be knocked out by one of the soldiers.
The soldier hits him with the stock of his AK. Hariri gets up and coughs. with Ahmed Khaled Al-Asad, The son of Khaled Al-Asad on the passenger seat.
"We all trusted this man to deliver our great nation into a new era of prosperity."
Soldiers are seen running down the sidewalk in the opposite direction of the car. Opening fire on any opposing civilians or officers.
"But we all know, he has been colluding with the West with only self interest at heart!"
On one side of the road a soldier is seen pinning a civilian and then gutting him. On the other several soldiers are firing into buildings, breaching them to clear them out of any civilians loyal to Hariri. The car continues to follow a BMP for some time. Civilians run out of an alley and up the street between the car and the BMP. Soldiers come out after them and shoot them dead.
"Silence breeds slavery! And we shall not be enslaved!"
"The time has come to show our true strength. They underestimate our resolve. Let us show that we do not fear them."
Several civilians are lined up on a wall and promptly executed by Al-Asad's soldiers.
"As one people, we shall free our brethren from the yoke of foreign oppression! Our armies are strong and our cause is just."
The car turns left at a small courtyard where soldiers are lined up and tanks are parked. An Mi-8 Hip lands in the courtyard, flanked by two Hinds.
"As I speak, our armies are nearing their objectives, by which we will restore the independence of a once great nation." Hinting that ministries are being assaulted and ministers being killed.
The car stops outside the city square. A soldier opens the back door, another pulls Hariri out, and throws him onto the ground.
"Our noble crusade has begun."
Hariri is beaten and knocked unconcious as he gets dragged into the center of the square and tied up onto a wooden bloody stake. soldiers are gathered all around the square, cheering from both floors of the surrounding building. Al-Asad is nearby, talking into a camera being used to broadcast his speech.
"Just as they lay waste to our country, we shall lay waste to theirs."
Al-Asad, Walks up to Hariri while carrying a Desert Eagle, Aims at his head while Hariri is pleading and hyperventilating. Al-Asad executes Hariri on Live Broadcast as Soldiers cheer loudly.
Al-Asad faces the camera and says: This is how it begins.

I was personally surprised that Vox had secured strong standings in polls for the upcoming elections, as I was honestly expecting a possible downturn for right-wing voters after the successes achieved by the current government. However, I am certain these polls represent not just who has a better chance of winning the elections, but an idea that has been planted within the minds of the great Spanish people. Although the centrists and radical progressives have encountered political victory after political victory, it is obvious that such politicians and policymakers are not enough to run a country like ours.

In contrast to the centrists leading our government, I believe in a doctrine of passive progressivism. In essence, it's careful progressive politics. I don't believe in radical progressives making radically different decisions. Keeping the status quo is better than risking the status quo for something higher or better, but possibly unattainable. Taking a careful approach towards new policies is also vital to ensuring the Spanish economy doesn't rupture, or Spanish stability doesn't collapse. "[/list]

[list][list] ELECTION 2025: Coalition Avenir Quebec attempt to defend majority
[/list][/list]
Montréal, Québec
[sub]Ici Québec Télé Studio[/sub]
| Throughout the day on the 5th September, more than 4.6 million Quebeckers had exercised their democratic right to vote and travelled to the many polling stations across the country. Whether they were in the cold, less populated north or the warmer, more populated south, Quebeckers are proud of their democracy, and feel that to vote is a civic duty.
| After months of campaigning, travelling and speaking, the parties waited eagerly to see if they would be granted government or if the electorate would choose to punish by revoking it from them. The incumbent government is the Coalition Avenir Quebec or the Quebec Future Coalition. It is led by Monsieur François Legault, a seasoned political maverick and the current Prime Minister. Challenging them is the Liberal Party under Jean-François Roberge, a younger alternative and former Minister of Education.
| The clock struck 11pm - the polls had closed. Then an exit poll flashed across the screens, video billboards and phones of Quebec; the Liberals were forecast to usurp the CAQ, as the former would have to settle for second place. The Nouveau Parti Démocratique (NPD) would become the third largest party, but the crucial finding of the exit poll - a hung parliament
[list]| [sub]BERTRAND VADNAIS, Political Anchor[/sub] | Quebec Elects - good evening everyone, thank you for joining IQTS election coverage. We have plenty to go through tonight but we should start first with that shocking exit poll. It forecasts that the Liberals become the largest party but they will be short of an overall majority. Furthermore the CAQ are set for electoral embarrassment where we predict they will lose anywhere from 23 to 29 seats. Well then Christian, what a night we might be in for.[/list]
[list]| [sub]CHRISTIAN RUEST, Political Anchor[/sub] | Absolutely Bertrand in fact we are just hearing the first result coming in now its the constituency of Vachon which was a CAQ constituency in the last election and the Liberals have won it by a majority of 3,302 as you can see there. A huge result for the Liberals and this might set the tone for the evening, winning a seat like that which has been firmly in CAQ hands since 1994 wont be the first similar result we see tonight.[/list]
| Results continued to flow in across the hours, and as predicted, the red wave had washed over. The Liberals increased their seat total by 18 to 55 seats and the CAQ fell by 25 down to 41. Additionally, the result caused a hung parliament, no party had achieved a majority in the National Assembly and a coalition was required. Luckily for the Liberals, a party came to their rescue.

[list]| [sub]JEAN-FRANCOIS ROBERGE, Liberal Leader[/sub] | It's great that our parties have such common ground my friend. And I thank you for allowing us to negotiate with you to form a stable government for all Quebeckers.[/list]
[list]| [sub]DENIS BLANCHETTE, NPD Leader[/sub] | Indeed. Of course we will require some concessions. For example we want a referendum on a potential change to the voting system to either alternative vote or moving to a proportional system.[/list]
[list]| [sub]JEAN-FRANCOIS ROBERGE, Liberal Leader[/sub] | We can do that, of course my friend in exchange for your support we will also happily secure an amount of funding to go to constituencies which your party represents.[/list]
[list]| [sub]DENIS BLANCHETTE, NPD Leader[/sub] | Excellent, I think we could make an agreement by the end of the week.[/list]
| Mr Roberge moved to a long table adjacent to himself. It was a mahogany piece that showed off numerous photos of him and his family, friends and moments from his career. In the center was his favourite drink, a bottle of Sazerac rye whiskey. He gestured to the bottle.
[list]| [sub]JEAN-FRANCOIS ROBERGE, Liberal Leader[/sub] | Would you like a glass?[/list]
[list]| [sub]DENIS BLANCHETTE, NPD Leader[/sub] | Ah, absolutely. Thank you[/list]
| Roberge carefully opened the bottle, slowly pouring out the golden whiskey into two glasses. He took the glasses into his hands and passed one to Blanchette. He lifted his glass up and turned to Blanchette.
[list]| [sub]JEAN-FRANCOIS ROBERGE, Liberal Leader[/sub] | A toast to Quebec![/list]
[list]| [sub]DENIS BLANCHETTE, NPD Leader[/sub] | À votre santé![/list]
| The pair drank at the same time, before returning their glasses to the table and shaking hands. Two days later, the coalition deal was publicly finalised and signed off. Mr Roberge, Prime Minister and Mr Blanchette as his Deputy Prime Minister. A strong majority. A strong coalition. Perfect, Roberge thought, just perfect.

OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
REGULATION 203/2025 of the 12th September 2025 - On the measures of support for European industry and the development of technology for cabon neutrality (European Green Pack I - EGP I)
(1) Achieving a climate neutral and circular economy requires the full mobilisation of industry. It takes 25 years a generation to transform an industrial sector and all the value chains. To be ready in 2050, decisions and actions need to be taken in the next five years.
(2) EU industry needs climate and resource frontrunners to develop the first commercial applications of breakthrough technologies in key industrial sectors by 2030. Priority areas include clean hydrogen, fuel cells and other alternative fuels, energy storage, and carbon capture, storage and utilisation. The Commission will support clean steel breakthrough technologies leading to a zero-carbon steel making process by 2030(...). More broadly, the EU Emissions Trading System Innovation Fund will help to deploy such large-scale innovative projects.
(3) The transition to climate neutrality also requires smart infrastructure. Increased cross-border and regional cooperation will help achieve the benefits of the clean energy transition at affordable prices. This framework should foster the deployment of innovative technologies and infrastructure, such as smart grids, hydrogen networks or carbon capture, storage and utilisation, energy storage, also enabling sector integration. Some existing infrastructure and assets will require upgrading to remain fit for purpose and climate resilient.
Article 1 - Member States in conjunction with the Union shall develop and support technology programs with the objective of achieving concrete national or European projects destined to transition to carbon neutrality.
Article 2 - The projects shall include smart grids, hydrogen networks and carbon capture, storage and utilisation.
[...] Article 12 - The budget for the Green Pack I is 1 billion dollar with 1500 projects to be selected.

Arab Union Helps Stabilize Lebanon
September, 2025
____________
[list]BAGHDAD- News of the military coup in Lebanon was almost a relief to Baghdad. Lebanon had been teetering on collapse for years under increasingly ineffective governments marred by elitist corruption and sectarian posturing. While the Union was hesitant to over-involve itself with such a volatile government, it silently welcomed a regime change, almost regardless of who perpetrated it. A famously brutal politically-active military officer wasn't the worst possibility. Willing to look past the news of violent purges in Beirut, Arab Union officials were dispatched to Beirut to apprise themselves of the situation. With al-Asad in power and most government officials purged, the Directorate decided it was far better to work with Asad then to oppose him.
After meeting with Al-Asad in Beirut, Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs Dr. Nasser al-Sabah signed the Beirut Accords of Security and Cooperation. The Accords entailed the Arab Union officially recognizing the Asad government and opening diplomatic relations via its embassy. Additionally, the Arab Union will commit itself to assisting in stabilizing Lebanon in several ways. The Arab Central Bank will open low-interest lines of credit to the Lebanese government to help cover costs and stabilize the budget. The Arab government will dispatch humanitarian aid including medical care, food, and water to critical parts of the country via mass donation to the Red Crescent in Lebanon. Additionally the countries will agree to a mutual-defense treaty in the event of attack or war. As a part of mutual-defense, the Union will initiate a large military aid and assistance program to Lebanon. This will include security assistance, arms sales, and military training. The Arab Union will also deploy troops to Lebanon to bolster security and deter threats to Lebanese sovereignty.
15,000 troops, mostly motorized and mechanized infantry, will be stationed in Lebanon. Additionally, 25x Air Force F/A-18s and 12x IA-58Es will be in contact with the Lebanese government for possible deployment as needed. Though specifics have not been unveiled, the Defense Ministry is preparing a military aid package to reinforce Lebanons armed forces with surplus and new equipment. Additionally, 1,000 advisors will be attached to the Lebanese military, assisting in training and operational support. Lebanese officers will also be invited to train and be educated at new Arab military academies.
Publicly, the Arab Union declared its support for the new Asad Government. The Foreign Ministry lauded the move as necessary to save Lebanon from collapse, and referred to Asad as the strong guiding hand required to stabilize the country.
Secret
With high secrecy, the State Security Directorate will be providing intelligence to support the new government and repress dissenters. This includes the deployment of agents and top-secret non-acknowledged death squads the SSD uses internally. They will assist the Asad government in targeting political enemies and potential threats to Lebanese stability.

Joint Military Domestication and Modernization Program Limited Technical Forum
After the announcement of a program to begin the research and development of what the former president Polaikov generalized as an Aircraft Carrier in 2024 and the subsequent replacement of the Republic of Turkmenistan by a more military centric Provisional Turan and ultimately the Emirates of Turan, a rise in the formation of military industrial firms was seen amidst government claims for a need for increased domestication of military equipment to hopefully phase out increasingly aged soviet era weapons in the long term and for vehicles that synergized with the a new military doctrine. These companies would be entered into multiple ground, sea and air domestication programs, competing within their element for their design to be funded and put into service. A technical forum with viewing limited to high ranking military personnel and government officials was jointly held between the three programs that would show concepts, full sized mockups, smaller models and early technology demonstrators to viewers. Domestic and foreign companies that instead plan to modernize existing equipment were also invited to the forum.
Some promising designs known to the public that were confirmed to have appeared in the forum include but are not limited to:
[list][sub]The Zhalo Object 1 or ZO-1, a Mig 1.44 inspired STOL capable single seat single exhaust dorsal intake turbofan engine cropped canard delta winged supermaneuverable multi role 5th generation fighter by Zhalo Aeronautics, a Khiva based aerospace engineering firm made up of Central Asian former personnel of Russian aircraft manufacturing companies such as Sukhoi, Mikoyan, Tupolev and Yakovlev during the SGRI. The aircraft was stated to be one of their two supercruiser designs that are intended to sustain supersonic flight without the use of afterburners, the ZO-1 and its engine in particular is confirmed to be a collaboration between Zhalo and the Union States of Arab Nations Alzarikstan based E. A. Juffali and Brothers, Sayara Co. aviation department to ensure the aircraft is capable of implementing their concept hybrid engines in the future, but for now are responsible for the production of aviation-biofuel blends to reduce CO2 emissions and more importantly reduce the planes acoustic signature.[/sub]
[sub]Bishkek based Tsoy Research and Developments Modular Armored Vehicle Type 1 Cataphract or MAV 1 Cataphract, a multi purpose six or eight wheeled armored vehicle with mutually exchangeable weapons systems including ambulances, mortar carriers and a variety of calibered cannons, specialized to take advantage of Steppe terrain.[/sub]
[sub]South Afrikan The Confederate Prussian Empire Advanced Technologies and Engineering or ATEs reveal of their production model curated Super Hind K upgrades to existing and future Turani operated Hind helicopters. The Hind K systems, based on and visually similar to the Super Hind MK. III would be used to modernize the current inventory of sixty-eight MI-24s and MI-24Ps to Super Hind Ks, KH heavy gunships and folding rotor and folding boom navalised KNs to meet the standards set by the newer MI-35M and to modify the inventory of forty-nine MI-35Ms to Super Hind K2s, KH2s and KN2s to meet revised requirements and finally the high speed KFA with an fully redesigned streamlined light composite cockpit for weight reduction based on their Mk. V mockup, diffused exhausts for lower radar cross-section and improved rotors for an estimated ten percent increase in the MI35Ms speed, a navalised KFAN version was also conceptualised for a when needed basis. The well known engineering firm was contracted in late March and were given six months to start production, with promising results the helicopters will be retrofitted starting next month, October and enter service at the earliest convenience.[/sub]
[sub]The Aktau based INE or Institute of Naval Engineerings Caspian Sea Class Sea Control Ship, an Amphibious Assault Ship/Light Aircraft Carrier intended for Naval Supremacy/Command of the Sea purposes and regional power projection over the Caspian. Its primary operating doctrine would be to deploy and retrieve aircraft and patrol ships performing maritime patrol duties during peacetime or cold-war periods and to deploy and retrieve aircraft and landing vessels during wartime. At standard capacity the ship would be capable of holding eight aircraft on its deck, six designated landing pads on its stable deck and two on its elevator system with an addition of fourteen aircraft in its hangar. Recently the company has made use of the name Atilla for the vessel but whether that is a class name change or the service name of the vessel is unclear. With an inquiry to Russia Victoria Harbor sent for the procurement of VTOL capable Yak 38s and specifically produced Yak 141s of which a lack of funding forced Yakovlev to cease production beyond two functioning planes the ship is almost guaranteed to be fully approved at this stage. The project awaits go ahead from the relevant authorities to have its Keel laid down to begin construction.[/sub]
[sub]The Institute of Naval Engineering (INE) and (Mesuvia at the time) Pakistans Karachi Shipyard & Engineering Works Limited (KS&EW) are believed to have made mockups of an array of escort ships for INEs Sea Control Ship in advance of its approval, including missile boats and a guided missile destroyer intended for the use of the Russian sourced Kalibr missile family. This joint venture came after a meeting between Shah Aslan Ras-Kuzma and Prime Minister Imran Khan where the two advocated for cooperation between their two respective naval engineering sectors.[/sub][/list]

"My brothers and sisters, Today shall be the day that our nation may be reborn again. I do not have any doubt in my mind anyone that has a grain of honor and duty in their soul to support me through the rebuilding of this glorious nation of ours. For together we cannot be broken, Hariri was a vile, spineless, corrupt and a coward of a leader, He has never shown any interest in improving the lives of his people. Not with how he clearly was a slave to foreign oppressors, He turned a blind eye to what they did to us and he had a hand in it. Our so called leaders prostituted us to the west... Destroyed our culture... Our economies... Our honor. We shall suffer them no longer. For I will make sure that we will become a
powerhouse of the Middle East. I have already met with several Officials from neighboring countries within AUFC and USAN as they saw that our cause was just and neccessary, They have started granting us supplies and military protection.
May Allah guide us in the true path to prosperity."

ERDOGANS NATIONAL ENERGY & GREEN EXPANSION PROJECT
SEPTEMBER 2025
Erdogan has set forth and formally begun an Energy expansion project that is set to remove all Coal and Petroleum power plants within Turkey by 2040, however in a baffling move towards western Investors has declared that Solar, Wind and Hydro will be all shut down and banned within the same period. The stated reasoning for the decommissioning of the three Energy creating methods is not just cost but resource intensity and in the case of Hydro degradation of Turkeys waterways and the unintended consequence of fewer water resources for Countries downstream (in the case of Turkey it is to the detriment of Syria and Iraq, whose Rivers have almost completely dried up because of Turkey). Rather, Erdogan has declared that Turkey shall focus on its Nuclear Power expansions, its first plant having been completed in 2023 (Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant) which already produces 4456 MW.
The meaning of the expansion project is not only energy independence but also to massively decrease importation costs, as currently 1/5th of all imports (by value) are resources for the direct creation of Energy (in the form of coal and petroleum). By eliminating that cost, the Government would have additional funds for use elsewhere, and cost efficiency would be vastly increased. Further, 30% of Turkey's entire annual emissions figures come from Coal or Coal related (lignite) energy production, and eliminating this would go a long way to proving Turkey stands for a less Fossil Fuel intensive future.
Geothermal Energy remains popular in Turkey, however it is not utilized for Energy but rather Heat production, being second only to China in terms of Geothermal Heat production (4th overall). Currently Turkey has only 1.5 GW capacity installed with immediate potential for an additional 2.5 GW production, with the Government planning to make use of a minimum of 20 GW of Geothermal Energy solely for heat production, in order to decrease the usage of other forms of electricity for heat generation. The only current roadblock to said expansion is the large amount of emissions from said Geothermal production, to remedy this the Turkish Government is working closely to enact the reforms and methods of CarbFix to decrease said emissions from Geothermal heat production, and in existing plants the methods have proved quite successful.
Overall the Plan lays out detailed strategies and building requirements in order to make Turkey solely powered by Geothermal and Nuclear energy by 2040, with the importation of further nuclear technology planned from Russia (Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant was Russian-built) and France planned in order to have a somewhat diversified method of production.
-----
Despite the overall name of the Project "National Energy & Green Expansion Project" which implies green energy such as Solar or Wind, it in fact refers directly to Trees. Since 1990 Turkey has stood as one of the few Countries that has massively increased its forest coverage, having started 1990 with 25.7% of its total land area made up of forests it ended 2018 with 28.46% of its land area covered in forests. Under Erdogan's planting plans, this figure shall be increased to a total of 32% and from there onwards retained at or above that number, with the entire amount being actively forested (to retain a healthy forest and provide sustainable lumber). This is compared to Countries like Germany which have remained stagnant in forest area since 1990.
In order to provide even more land for potential forestation, the Government has plans in motion to increase the number of greenhouse reliant agricultural production which while being more efficient per acre would reduce the total amount of land required for the same amount of agricultural production as is currently recorded. This is in rather the same manner as its Neighbour Greece which has intense agricultural production due to large scale greenhouse projects which among other things allow production to persist for longer throughout the year due to easier temperature regulation.

[list][sub]"If this is the case, then I would like for you to make a public address directed to the Muslim World indicating this sentiment.

Furthermore, I would like your permission to be able to send official government observers and representatives of my administration to North Borneo to evaluate and observe the conditions of North Borneo."[/sub][/list]

Failed Heists and Pilgrimages.
The Warsaw Uprising Museum had a new temporary exhibit displaying a few captured artefacts from the German side to show what said Germans used to perform their actions. Such items included uniforms of the Flammenwerfer Korps, documents accidentally left behind displaying targets and missives back to Berlin among some. While visiting the Warsaw Uprising Museum, a woman, Marian Bauer, decided to wait for a large amount of people and a lower amount of museum minders to leave to go on their break and she filmed herself on social media taking a few documents and a fragment of one of the fuel tanks. She however did not see that the museum had more security cameras placed to monitor the temporary exhibit, this being the first. Upon being arrested, the woman sent a message with photos back to her group, which was a Slavophobic group that's goal would be to discredit and debunk all victories of the slavs and would place the blame on the Polish destruction on the USSR. They stated that Marian Bauer did not in fact steal anything but simply leaned her phone closer to take pictures, but the Polish Police had the real evidence. The Polish Police also found other info and Bauer would be sent to a woman's prison for 2 years.
In the city of Czestochowa, the city council would be met with a petition to expand pilgrimage lodging options and to further help pilgrims arrive and stay. The city decided to partner with Wadowice and Licheń Stary. The three cities decided to pool a larger sum of money to help cover costs of new hostels, hotels, and dining options. Czestochowa would contribute 5M, Wadowice contributing 1M and Licheń Stary contributing 500K creating a large pool of around 6.5M. The three sent a request to Warsaw for 5.5M to create a pool of 12M. Each city would take 4M to establish their own options and would, with Warsaw's permission, establish signage along the roads to guide pilgrims whether they are walking, biking, or driving. The mayors of Czestochowa and Wadowice, Krzysztof Matyjaszczyk and Bartosz Kaliński, respectively would join Archbishop Joseph Kowalczyk in inaugurating said Pilgrimage Which went from the Basilica of the Lady of Lichen (Largest Catholic Church in Poland), to Jasna Gora Monastery (Where the Black Madonna Painting is.), and ending in Wadowice (Where Pope John Paul II was born and went to church next door.) Prime Minister Mateusz Moraweicki would visit all three in that order and would have religious tour companies advertise said pilgrimage across the world. He'd also include them in the Greater Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage.

Films and solar Energies
Lublin city council has had two different plans on its mind, one a green energy credit and initiative for homeowners and apartment owners; and a hosting an international film festival for the world to participate. The council decided to focus on the former first. Mayor Krzysztof Żuk had decided to have winterised solar panels and a recycling programme established. He'd look to Germany to get a specific programme going in which all recycling would be done at stations either on a street corner or inside the lobby of the apartments. For solar panels, residents would receive a lowered utility bill and had the option to sell off any surplus energy from that month to the city to be sent to the surroundings. With the film festival, a note was sent to all embassies in Warsaw to ask their nations independent film crews to submit a film and send a delegation to Lublin's Centre for the Meeting of Cultures to attend and view other entries into the festival. One local entry would also be submitted from a source outside Lublin Voivodeship to avoid bias by the organisers. Any delegation that comes from a nation typically in requirement of a special visa would be given an exemption and allowed to stay for the duration plus two days after to tour the city. Mayor Krzysztof Żuk himself will be there alongside Minister of Culture, Piotr Gliński. Minister Gliński will present an award to each delegation for their hard work and dedication to the art of filmmaking.

PRESS BRIEFING ROOM A, PALACIO DE MONCLOA, MADRID, New Provenance AFTERNOON | 5:15PM CEST
[list]PRESS BRIEFING ON CABINET OF MINISTERS MEETING REGARDING SPAIN-AFRICA RELATIONS[/list]
| PRIME MINISTER AUGUSTINA TORRES enters Press Briefing Room A through the back access door, flanked by two security personnel, as a crowd of reporters silence themselves and prepare to jot down notes on the Prime Minister's upcoming statements regarding the recent high-profile Cabinet of Ministers meeting regarding Spain-Africa relations. The PRIME MINISTER places a black binder entitled 'PRESS BRIEFING - SEP 12 2025 - ON SPAIN-AFRICA RELATIONS' before opening it and beginning. |
[list][sub]| AUGUSTINA TORRES, Prime Minister |[/sub] ". . . Good afternoon to you all, please quiet down. Today, the Cabinet of Ministers successfully accomplished and reached a unified single verdict on the future of short term Spain-Africa diplomatic and economic relations, specifically with Bomoko Zaire, Mesuvia, and Nileia, from which the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Spain will derive her official approach to foreign diplomatic engagements with the aforementioned countries, and indeed the whole of the African continent." The final unified verdict of the Cabinet of Ministers are as follows." [/list]
| THE PRIME MINISTER pauses for effect, before turning the page on her black binder and starting to read from an official document headed with 'COUNCIL OF MINISTERS OF SPAIN, OFFICIAL RECOMMENDATION AND VERDICT'. |
[list][sub]| AUGUSTINA TORRES, Prime Minister |[/sub] "The Kingdom of Spain fully and utterly understands the fact that the African continent may be dangerous in terms of economic investments and the like due to rampant corruption and misuse of public funds. Spain also understands that the current state of diplomatic relations between Spain and Africa, in particular with Mesuvia and Nileia, are in a state of disarray and tension. It is in Madrid's interests that the diplomatic and economic ties with these countries are revived and removed from its current cold state. We believe that strong diplomatic and economic relations with these African countries are vital to the continuation of peace on the continent." [/list]
| Finishing up on disclosing the summary of the official recommendations of the Council of Ministers, PRIME MINISTER TORRES would close the binder and would open the floor to questions from the press. |
Q What are Spain's plans in regards to investing into Africa? Do we have specific details on monetary figures and a timetable for such investments?
[list][sub]| AUGUSTINA TORRES, Prime Minister |[/sub] "Lovely question. Finance Minister Nadia Calvino and Interior Minister Ione Belarra laid out a rough investment plan that aligned itself with Spain's current financial capacity. The Ministers concluded that the country is capable of investing up to $15.4 billion dollars into the African continent over the next one or two years, but please note that's just a very rough estimate. If there are any major changes to the continent, such as for example an election, coup, etc., the figure will be changed. However, I would like to state that Spain will be investing only into stable nations, such as Nileia and Bomoko Zaire, as we would like to ensure our investments don't get misused or anything like that." [/list]
Q Why is Spain investing billions - or as you suggested, tens of billions - into the African continent rather than dedicating those funds to solving issues at home and within our home continent, or the European Union?
[list][sub]| AUGUSTINA TORRES, Prime Minister |[/sub] "The Kingdom of Spain has already allocated sufficient funding to solving local issues, and the European Union is suited to dealing with such problems. Spain also believes that cooperation with our partners in Africa is required to boost our economy, the African economy, and cooperation between our two countries. Such arrangements would really be a win-win sort of thing, as both countries greatly benefit from it." [/list]
Q Does Spain have any solid plan or commitment to investing more than 45% of the given African investment budget into Mesuvia and Nileia considering recent tensions due to the Somaliland Crisis and Spain's involvement? If so, will such investments boost the diplomatic relations between Spain and the Galla and Sudan?
[list][sub]| AUGUSTINA TORRES, Prime Minister |[/sub] "Spain is planning to invest into Mesuvia and Nileia, but we don't have any concrete commitments to investing over 45% of our African investment budget into those two countries. If I remember correctly, uh, the Council of Ministers is in favor of prioritizing Bomoko Zaire and Nileia for investments, but I assure you the Gallans will not be left out as of the moment. And yes, I do believe these investments will help boost relations between Spain and Sudan and the Galla, and Zaire as well." [/list]
Q Will the given African investment budget apply to Equatorial Guinean investments and financial aid from Spain?
[list][sub]| AUGUSTINA TORRES, Prime Minister |[/sub] "No, the given African investment budget is separate from the funds and investments for Equatorial Guinea. As Eq. Guinea is a part of the Kingdom of Spain, they will be treated differently compared to other sovereign nations on the African continent." [/list]
Q Over the next year, how much does Spain plan to inject into Equatorial Guinea in the form of investments and financial aid?
[list][sub]| AUGUSTINA TORRES, Prime Minister |[/sub] "While the Council of Ministers has not yet reached a common agreement on a specific number, I'd estimate the figure to be around $5 billion to $8.5 billion dollars over the next year. Note that that figure is subject to change, though, as it's just a rough estimate." [/list]

1959
[pre]Albert Bongos House, Leopoldville, Belgian Zaire[/pre]
WHEN THE INDEPENDENCE LEADERS MET
It was 1959, Belgian Zaire. Since the turn of the decade, the colony had experienced unrest after unrest as anti-colonial fever overtook the African continent. In this house in the capital of Africas 2nd most industrialised colony & one of the wealthiest colonies in the world at the time, were 3 powerful men who would go down in history as the men who won Zaire independence.
There was Albert Bongo, an ethnic Nzere. Leon Wasisi an ethnic Kongo & Guillaume Zamba an ethnic Swahili.
The Nzere were the ethnic majority & prior to colonisation had led a massive empire that had once persecuted the Kongo & protected the Muswahili in the east from Zanzibar slave traders. The Belgians had used the Nzere as overlords to indirectly rule over the other tribes, creating huge ethnic tensions. The Nzere hated the Kongo, the Kongo hated the Nzere and the Muswahili were split between supporters of the Nzere & haters of the Nzere.
So the 3 men who had become spokesmen for their ethnic groups met together, in hopes that perhaps there was hope for a united Zaire after independence from Belgium.
[list]Wasisi: Unacceptable. You hear me? Unacceptable. For centuries you Nzeres persecuted us and now you want us to share a country with you even after those white devils have left!?
Bongo: My dear brother my Bantu brother, why worry about the past? The Nzere Empire is no more! I am a Nzere sitting here in front of you right now, begging you to unite with me, so we can spark a movement across Africa that unites people of Bantu origin. Why do you insist on conflict?
Wasisi: I dont want conflict Mr Bongo, I dont. What I want for my people, the Kongo people is that we have our own state separate from you! *looks at Zamba* and your Muswahili dogs!
Zamba: *slams fist on table* Watch your mouth, you SON OF A WHORE! We Muswahili are not dogs. I am simply in support of Mr Bongos vision because I have seen the light!
Wasisi: What light!?
Zamba: We told you about this before when we got back from US Paramountica and read the books there by men like Marcus Garvey on Pan-Africanism and learnt about the Bantu migration that occurred thousands of years ago. A good portion of us in Central, Eastern & Southern Africa come from the same origins! The Bantu people!
Bongo: We also met with other African revolutionaries like Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana, he told us how he supports our great works! Me & Zamba see something bigger than tribal divisions! We see a great Pan-Bantu state being formed that will be a superpower of the world. It will ensure we never endure the slavery and oppression we did again!
Zamba: Listen Mr Wasisi dont be stubborn, this can work if you give it a chance. All we want you to do is go back to your people and spread the word about this Pan-Bantuist state. We will speak to the Belgian colonial government and ensure that in June 1960 when they promised us independence, they do not divide the country into 3.
Wasisi: And what if I dont ?
Zamba & Bongo: There will be war![/list]

BREAKDOWN OF ZAIRE-SPANISH RELATIONS
Right after independence in 1960, Zaire fell into a civil war that lasted until 1963 due to ethnic tensions that had been brewing during the colonial era causing some to want a divide and others to maintain unity. The unitarian faction won with their Pan-Bantuist ideology led by Albert Bongo & Guillaume Zamba, the founders of this unique idea that stated the descendants of the great Bantu Migration ought to unite & found a single Bantu superstate.
[list]Considering the tribes of Equatorial Guinea are Bantu peoples, relations between Spain & Zaire were hostile due to Spain keeping EG as its colony well after the 60s. Under the Bongo, Roux & Ambia presidencies from the 60s to the 90s, Zaire refused to cooperate with Spain in any fashion outside of minimal trade.[/list]
However with Ambias militant Pan-Bantuist presidency being the last of its kind, under President Mabala, Zaire normalised relations with Spain. His successor President Bles then began increasing trade with Spain and increasing oil imports from Spanish Equatorial Guinea.
Now with President Zé whod come to power in 2020, being open to discussing the future of Spanish-Zaire relations, and with Spain offering huge investments, a historical turning point meeting was to be held in Kinshasa between the two countries.

Prime Minister Augustina Torres lands in Kinshasa for bilateral diplomatic talks with the Zairean government
| The sun bore down heavily as the Spanish Prime Minister's jet halted on the tarmac and various ground crew vehicles approached the aircraft. Prime Minister Augustina Torres had established in autumn 2024 a plan to establish strong and longstanding diplomatic and economic agreements with various African countries, including Zaire, Sudan, the Gallan Empire, and others, so as to boost their economy and that of Spain's at the same time. Now, the Prime Minister of Spain was on another trip to establish these links which were now so integral to Spain's foreign policy in regards to the African continent. The Prime Minister adjusted her light blue cardigan before stepping out into the humid heat of the Zairean republic. Prime Minister Torres was already acclimatized to the warm weather of sub-Saharan Africa thanks to her visit to Spanish Equatorial Guinea last month. The Prime Minister of Spain made her way down the airstairs, flanked by security guards and her political aides, before halting at the foot of the stairs to shake hands with whoever was to meet with her. |

Can i post a regional poll?
As she walked down the steps, soldiers in military suits and caps, saluted and the Zairean National Anthem was blasted. Two flag bearers on either side of the red carpet laid out for the Spanish prime minister waved two huge Spanish & Zairean flags.
Two little Zairean girls were flower bearers and would walk up to the Spanish prime minister handing her a bouquet & sticking a rose bud in her hair. She would then shake hands with the most senior officials in Zaire after the president, the 7 members of the Bureau of Advisers.
She would then be escorted to the transport vehicle that would take her to the government palace.
On the way she would witness the grandeur of the Zairean capital which had been constantly growing since the countrys first economic boom as an independent nation, in the 70s.
Kinshasa was filled with high-rises and huge monuments celebrating the founding fathers of the country Albert Bongo & Guillaume Zamba. Roads were well-paved and streets were clean. Soldiers could be seen on every corner, armed and patrolling. Propaganda billboards were also still a thing here in Zaire, with most of them displaying some kind of message to do with supporting the United Bantu Party or celebrating the Pan-Bantuist ideology.
There were poorer areas of the capital however, as they reached the outskirts she would see the old rundown apartments and potholed roads of the outer suburbs. Although it wasnt shantytowns or slums like other places in Africa, it was still poor living conditions.
New Provenance
| Prime Minister Torres, understanding the necessity of respecting local cultures, would graciously accept the bouquet and the rose bud with a smile on her face. As the Prime Minister's transport drove through the city of Kinshasa, Zaire's capital, the various members of the Spanish delegation, composed of the PM and her aides, could not help but notice the many soldiers patrolling the streets. As most of the delegation came from respected, high middle class families living under Franco's dictatorial regime, none of them raised an eyebrow on what they thought only to be military officers keeping law and order. As the convoy drove past the poorer areas of the Zairean capital, however, the Prime Minister would frown at the rundown apartments and would make a mental note in her head to focus Spanish investments on public housing and other involved industries. |

MANIC SEARCH COMMENCES AS PRESIDENTIAL PLANE DOWNED OVER LAPLAND
[list][sup]NORMALCY CRUMBLING
FINLANDAUTUMN 2025[/sup][/list]
The apparent loss of the plane of Finnish President Mykkänenwho had been flying to Finnmark to assess the state of Finno-Ugric minorities therein the icy fog of northern Fennoscandia was met first with panic and soon after with blame. Elements of the military and dozens of local police forces were employed in a wide-ranging search across LaplandNorse searches were already underway across the border, where agents were already scouring the Finnmark Plateau. Nearly twelve hours passed before Finnish authorities came upon the wreckage of the plane: a smoldering heap in the eastern stretches of the Enontekiö municipality, which rests on the border with Norr. Over the next twenty-four hours, the bodies of the plane's crew, two attachés, the private secretary of the President, and the President of Finland himself were identified by medical staff flown in from Helsinki. These solemn hours in Lapland drastically contrasted the unfolding chaos in Helsinki.
When the death was at last announced to the Finnish publicas an official investigation was being pieced together by Prime Minister and acting President Petteri Orpoblame flew at once. Right-wing rhetorician Alvi Karvonen seized on the opportunity to call the accident "a Norse plot""indeed," Karvonen said, "our President, though I disagreed with him, was an esteemed man. Norr would have sought his demise to undermine us given their latest subversive efforts against our culture, and it is thus no coincidence that he should die flying to that vile country." More skeptical corners of the Finnish public, though, looked accusingly at Karvonen himself. As the death of a Finnish President forces a snap presidential electionwhich, given recent Finns Party gains, could lead to a much more reactionary head of statekilling Kai Mykkänen could prove useful to right-wing forces in Finland. As the new election was being organized, accusations continued to fly.
The Finnish Foreign Ministry attempted to manage the tragedy as mutedly as it could, hoping that the disaster would not contribute to a loss of face for Finlandlauded as a safe and stable democracyinternationally. Condolences receieved from Germany and Poland were sincerely but quietly thanked.

[list][list][sup]Ministry of Defense announces Force 2040 Transformation of Royal Benelux Armed Forces amid Budgetary Concerns
[/sup][/list]
[sub]| VLISSINGEN At Damen Groups shipyard in the historic port of Vlissingen, Defense Minister Ank Bijleveld spoke before a crowd of on-lookers at the keel laying of the first Amsterdam-class guided missile destroyer, where she announced the governments highly anticipated Force 2040 defense master plan. A product of nearly 10 years of research, development, and preparation, the project outlines the defensive priorities of the Kingdom of the Benelux following its initial and most substantial defense budget increase in a generation back in 2017. That budgetary expansion, a point of criticism from leftist parties, was to bring the Benelux into compliance with NATO standards of allocating at-least 2% of members GDP towards defense. In this Budget, the Defense Ministry was instructed to direct funding towards the R&D of a Next Generation surface combatant with the capability of operating alongside NATO partners and projecting Beneluxer influence abroad; to develop light aircraft carriers, acquire 6 more De Zeven Provinciën-class frigates while upgrading those in active service; replace the standard equipment of ground forces with more modern counterparts - among other things, in the face of then-increased aggression from the Russian Federation. In her statement, Bijleveld stated;[/sub]
[list][pre]While the actors we were preparing for have changed, the reality of this era has not: Climate Change has destabilized many parts of the world, and we must be prepared to combat both sinister and desperate forces alike. The longevity of our Kingdom, and indeed Humanity, requires preparedness for all possible outcomes.[/pre][/list]
[sub]That preparedness, according to the report, centers not only around the Beneluxs ability to integrate with NATO and strategic partners armed forces, but for the Benelux to have the capability of acting independently and inter-regionally. For this, the plan outlines a three (3) stage program which will fundamentally change the organization of the Royal Benelux Armed Forces and its arsenal. Phase I, initiated in 2017 and nearing completion, called for the loosening of budgetary constraints of the Post-Cold War consensus and to make inroads towards expanding the Royal Benelux Navy. That phase - as mentioned above - set aside funding for major research and development projects for the Navy and the renewal of contracts with Fabrique Nationale Herstal (FN) to equip the Kingdoms ground forces with their latest arms and munitions. After nearly 10 years, the results of Phase I have already become evident with the finalization of the Surface Combatant development project which resulted in the Amsterdam-class guided missile destroyers, of which an initial contract for 10 vessels having been signed, with the possibility of upwards of 25 Destroyers in total, to be delivered beginning in 2028 and ending in 2038. These vessels - larger and more capable than the De Zeven Provinciën-class frigates - will form the new cutting edge of the RBN as a versatile and powerful platform capable of striking targets inland, dominating other warships, and networking with allied vessels for optimal effectiveness. A carrier escort, or ship-of-the-line is the mission of these vessels while their De Zeven counterparts enter into the realm of Ballistic Missile Defense in partnership with the Paramountica, Metropolitan Francais, and Canovia Navies who currently guard the skies of Europe from such attacks.[/sub]
[sub]On the front of the Helicopter/light carrier, Defense Minister Bijleveld announced to stirring applause that the RBN had been gifted two Mistral-class LHDs (To be dubbed the Pluto-class) after signing a 5 year contract for a new wing of 100 Eurofighter II Tempest sixth-generation fighters for a cumulative price tag of 19 Billion Euros - a major win for the Navy and Air Force, whose procurement of F-35 Lightnings were stalled in the early 2020s due to production delays in part due to priority being given to the Paramerican and British Royal Air Forces, and the COVID-19 pandemic.[/sub]
[sub]Phase II, the plan details, calls for the reorganization and retraining of the Royal Benelux Army into a dedicated Rapid Response Strike Force to shore up the European Union Eus ERF and that of NATO. This reformation outlines a major recruitment campaign which would increase the size of the Armed Forces from some 50,101 to 90,000 by 2028, 130,000 by 2030/1, and ultimately 200,000 by 2040. That campaign, the most aggressive in Beneluxer history, would feature a controversial program which would provide a pathway to citizenship for migrants and immigrants who are seeking permanent residence in the Benelux - and by-extension, the European Union. Likewise, those recruited through the campaign and current service members will receive new wage and retirement benefits which feature tax credits that may be transferable to descendents and close relatives if issued to ones estate, health benefits, and shares in Royal Dutch Shell among and other state-owned corporations. Such benefits have already sparked outrage from right-wing nationalists, led by opposition leader Geert Wilders who called the plan Evidence of this governments abandonment of true Beneluxers and fiscally irresponsible.[/sub]
[sub]Outside of this expansion of the Armed Forces, Phase II focuses on the Beneluxs ability to deploy its forces across the globe on short notice; so as to respond to humanitarian crises as they may arise, and to likewise boost involvement in multinational and coalition operations. Phase II also calls for a dedication towards special operations for the Royal Benelux Marines.[/sub]
[sub]Finally, Phase III covers an intentional effort by the Ministry of Defense to partner with private contractors and international partners to both develop and acquire the equipment needed to prepare the RBAF for its refined role as a viable defense partner. This includes, the opening of a contest for bids to provide the Benelux Army with new Tank Destroyers and Fire Support Vehicles which will equip new and lighter armored units that step away from conventional Main Battle Tanks. While planners do not deny that MBTs will likely remain the cornerstone of the modern army into the known future - the Benelux is not in a position to field large armored legions as seen elsewhere in Europe, the Middle East and Asia - but will instead focus on area denial for such vehicles, investing in platforms that make such a strategy a more viable alternative. To that end, the plan looks towards the Paramerican (Paramountica) Stryker and (Pontianus) Centauro B2s as clear favorites at this stage for the FSV requirement, and a 2019 Polish concept which feature Anti-Tank missiles as the chief armament of a future Tank Destroyer platform.[/sub]
[sub]Among other items, Phase III will direct funding into such projects as new nuclear-powered Submarines, a large global combat ship, helicopter gunships, and the revamp of the Air Force now armed with Eurofighter Temptests.[/sub][/list]

Creation of the Greater Lakes Accord
This month, the governments of the Mesuvia, Nileia, Bomoko Zaire, Somerania, and The Confederate Prussian Empire have been in a conferences to discuss relations and potentially the beginning of a pact. Said talks were fruitful, and all 5 nations have agreed to sign the Great Lakes Accord. A lot of details have also been agreed on as well as they have announced the capital to be in Kisangani, Zaire. Some other options were considered such as Kampala, Mombasa, and Dar es Salaam, but ultimately Kisangani was chosen for its location as center of a major African industrial hub, and is geographical place in the center of the 5 nations.
There were 4 main points of the accord.
1. All of the nations in this accord will respect and recognize each other's borders.
2. The Greater Lakes Investment Fund (GLIF) will be set up to fund economic projects across Africa for the development of the continent.
3. Some regulations will be relaxed on citizens setting up businesses in other GLA nations to develop with each other interconnectedly.
4. A Free Trade Agreement will be established within the organization to raise incentive for the GLA's development.
GLA Chairmanship will be chosen soon, as a new dawn sets upon Africa, an organization separate and different than the Pan-Africanist organizations of before. More developments are soon to come.

Notice there's a Democrat in Ohio. Did Sherrod Brown run and win reelection in 24 or did Tim Ryan win in 22 and Sherrod's seat went red in 24?
