| Anastasia looked over the opened envelope as she sat on her bed. The cloudy, melancholic day was important however, as the man that had passed bestowed the title of Grand Duchess on the princess, and just a mere few weeks after his passing, Anastasia was going to step up to take his place. Despite her education and preparation, she was often considered a shy public figure, rarely appearing in public, causing some concern for Anastasia over her reception by the public.

These thoughts were all interrupted by her agent, who notified her that everything was ready. She sighed and stood up before speaking, "I will be out in a moment." The agent simply nodded in response and left her alone in the room, though after a few moments she followed suit and walked out of the palace as well.

People surrounded the palace limits, some with cameras and some without, all eager to see the new Grand Duchess as she walked onto the temporary stage. It took Anastasia a few more moments to actually speak, utilizing the microphone to both address the crowd and the people watching.

"I know some...if not a lot of you don't know who I am, as I've never been one to do these kind of speeches or press conferences. But I'm here, as the Grand Duchess and not as that shy granddaughter of the Grand Duke who sadly passed a few weeks ago. I will do my best to live up to his legacy of keeping peace and order in Livonia, even at the cost of my own life if necessary." She paused, as she wasn't sure what else to say. This didn't last long though as she spoke up again, "I look forward to serving the people and changing Livonia for the better, just as my grandfather did. Thank you."

Anastasia then promptly stepped off the stage and was escorted back to the palace. A day later, she'd be coronated as the Grand Duchess of Livonia and officially begin her duties.

| ELECTIONS | While Livonia is a monarchy, it has a democratic aspect alongside it, with the Prime Minister being elected every 5 years. And with November just around the corner, campaigning is at its all time high for the 4 candidates, with the NDP intending to hold onto the position of Prime Minister. However, the citizens have grown angry at the NDP's lack of progress over recent years, with every law on pressing issues being swatted down by either the NDP or National Alliance. The constant back and forth of the two parties has recently lead to growing support for third parties, particularly the Nationalist Party, which has gained significant traction in Eastern Livonia.

Current Prediction Based on Polling:

[list]

| National Alliance: 21.6% of County Votes | 39.2% of the Popular Vote

| National Democratic Party: 45.9% of County Votes | 33.9% of the Popular Vote

[list]ALFA ROMEO SIGNS FIRST F1 WOMAN DRIVER IN 33 YEARS

[sub]13 October, 2025 | RaceNews.net[/sub][/list]

SOCHI, RUSSIA — In the wake of a fantastic race in Russia earlier in the day, Alfa Romeo, one of the Ferrari customer teams, has chosen to sign a new driver to replace Antonio Giovinazzi in the second Alfa Romeo seat for 2026. While these changes are somewhat common in modern Formula 1, the new driver, who was revealed to be Sofia Madeira, is currently one of only two woman drivers in Formula 2 and will be the first woman to compete in Formula 1 since 1978.

Frédéric Vasseur, the current Team Manager, stated that Alfa Romeo will sign Madeira upon completion of the final Formula 2 Round in November. Vasseur claimed that Madeira would be the next "Charles Leclerc" as Leclerc leads the charge in Ferrari's battle for 3rd Place in the constructors' Championship. However, with all the Ferrari seats full, and with competition from Mick Schumacher, it is likely Madeira will have to wait a while for her chance at a Ferrari seat.

Madeira declined a request for an interview at Sochi following the announcement.

ECONOMIC EFFORTS

Khaled Al-Asad begins a campaign to revive the lebanese economy by opening and allowing trade between neighboring countries and allies after factories have begun production of metals and chemicals along with limestone and salt mines being opened by the state as the government has started to shutdown or takeover a majority of big private businesses.

Agriculture efforts by orders of Al-Asad to give farmers plots of land to begin growing food and crops for eating and trade and relaxing taxing on Agriculture sector to give farmers a breathing room.

Tourism and banking is now also opened for most visitors carrying valid documents. Most hotels are still intact and have reopened for business and more are being constructed throughout the country mainly in Beirut as a hotspot for tourists.

Government is now starting a massive public employment program to encourage the population to work.

______________________________________________

Politics/Ideology

Al-Asad has expressed his admiration of ba'athist iraq under saddam in it's glory days and has stated that he will be following his footsteps in the running of the nation but with more progressive changes.

To cement Khaled's popularity among the people, A propaganda campaign was initiated by running military parades in Beirut carrying banners of new ba'athist lebanon while military and officers are ordered to give out pictures of Al-Asad to every household and business to hang on their wall as to be reminded who freed them from the shackles of a tyrant.

Ahmed Khaled Al-Asad also began discussions and talks with lebanon's most prominent tribes to assert that the law of the Al-Asad is above all and must be obeyed, But tribes will still be recognize and respected if they do not interfere or cause trouble within the communities. Another condition if tribes wanted to stay is a complete disarming of them and all other civilians from owning any form of a gun. though this sparked some rejection by The Ghannam tribe, which has started a clash between soldiers of Asad and tribe members that ended with imprisoning the entire tribe leadership until further notice.

1962

[pre]Extract From “The Blood Years”, A Book on his experience of the 'Zairean Civil War', by Award-Winning Zairean Author, Vital Kamerhe[/pre]

In the city of Goma where I came from, right on the eastern border of Zaire, the day of independence came with great celebrations and joy. The Belgian king had announced that Zaire was to remain intact and that Albert Bongo & Guillaume Zamba would head it.

As a Muswahili person, I was proud of Zamba for making history. But not all people of my ethnic group shared my sentiments. Many Muswahili believed that Bongo was the real person calling the shots and that he was attempting to vassalise the Muswahili again.

After all, historically we Muswahili had always relied on the Nzere for help against Zanzibar slavers and so had always been vassals of some kind to them. The Belgians only made the divide worse by using the Nzere as a ruling class.

Even with all the talk the two founding fathers had about “Pan-Bantuism” and how we were all “Bantu brothers”, none of it saved the nation from the bloodshed that followed the year after.

In the west of the country, the streets of cities and villages was bathed in blood by 1961, as ethnic Kongo secessionists led by Leon Wasisi attacked ethnic Nzeres. Machetes, guns, clubs, whatever they could find, the Kongo unleashed hell upon their neighbours. And in turn, the government of Bongo & Zamba unleashed its wrath on the Kongo.

Children were ripped from their families and taken into government custody, entire towns and villages with a Kongo majority were burnt down with men and women alike being indiscriminately shot. Bongo & Zamba managed to bolster the military with Western weapons because they claimed that the Kongo secessionists had Communist affiliations with the Soviet-backed Labour Party in neighbouring Congo-Brazzaville.

In the north, where the most radical Nzere militia had formed, the military fought using trench warfare, slowly encroaching and surrounding the Nzere militia’s positions outside towns and then chasing after them once they fled their stations and mowing them down. These battles were particularly brutal because of the Nzere militias unconventional tactics & masterful use of the jungle terrain.

The worst battle was the Battle of the Boyoma Falls in which Nzere militia attacked entire communities of Muswahilis and the military charged them by boat near the Boyoma waterfalls of northern Zaire on the Zaire River. The waters were drenched red with blood, and the dead mutilated bodies from all sides.

By 1962, the dead bodies were piling up across the nation and millions were displaced, running to and fro trying to find places in the huge country where people weren’t killing each other because of ethnic rivalries. Many had no idea whether the state would survive… and then Zamba died

There was no longer a Muswahili leader anymore. The Nzeres who were angry at a Muswahili being the president, no longer had a reason to fight and had already been demoralised by their defeats against the military. The Muswahili had long lost their will to fight.

The only people who fought ferociously until the bitter end, were the Kongo and their leader Leon Wasisi…

President Zé: Well, I understand. And I’m glad to hear that. As for Zaire… I took the presidency after a man named Emile Bles took power. Under him the ruling party and the country were undergoing a… cleanup. Prior to Emile Bles, corruption had suddenly become rife & the country’s most powerful conglomerates were not kept at bay and so things were crumbling. Bles initiated the cleanup & I’m finishing it off, stamping out corruption wherever I find it and launching projects to improve the country. I want to bring back the golden age Zaire experienced in the 80s. So before I go into what deals we could set up, is Spain in support of Zaire’s goals to the protector of Bantu peoples on the continent?

SNAP ELECTION CONTESTED, MIRED IN CONTROVERSY

[list][sup]FINLAND'S BITTEREST ELECTION

FINLAND—AUTUMN 2025[/sup][/list]

The last month of Finnish politics has been a whirlwind. Following the tragic death of moderate President Kai Mykkänen—who had given anti-reactionary speeches in the weeks preceding his death—after the loss of his plane while flying to Norse territory, the various corners of the Finnish government began to accuse a dazzling array causes and people for the disaster. Right-wing speakers, chief among them parliamentarian and presidential prospect Alvi Karvonen, blamed the mishap on Norse traffic control's negligence or, worse, the purported malice of the Norse state. Left-wing speakers, conversely, often blamed the accident on the right wing—the death of the President opened an important window for right-wing parties (namely the Finns Party, led in rhetoric by Karvonen) to leverage their increasing influence into securing the presidency.

Not long after the highly-publicized funeral of Mykkänen, the snap presidential election mandated by the Finnish constitution took place. The already-thriving reactionary movement was only helped by the crash, shockingly—Karvonen's calls for revenge against the state that "slew our chief citizen, whether by intention or accident" only fueled the momentum of the Finns Party. In contrast, merited concerns over right-wing involvement in the plane crash from the Social Democrats and its allied parties faltered under a lack of evidence (as the investigation was not yet complete), despite support from the moderate National Coalition Party. The lack of the usual presidential debates stripped the moderates and skeptics of chances to directly debunk Karvonen's rhetoric. The truth fast became a weapon in the election, which one political analyst labeled "the haziest and bitterest in the modern history of Finland".

Hearts rose and sank across Finland when the results scrolled across television, phone, and computer screens. Finns Party candidate Laura Huhtasaari had won 6.9% in 2018 and 23.2% in 2024. Shockingly, in just twenty months, Finns Party support had risen to an amazing 53.3%—enough not only to secure 2025 candidate Alvi Karvonen the presidency but to completely bypass the need for a second round. With major opposing candidates Pekka Haavisto and Tarja Filatov—as well as several minor ones—soundly thwarted, on the 1st of October, 2025, Alvi Karvonen was sworn in as the President of Finland. Interim president Orpo relinquished his duties to uneasily resume his role as Prime Minister, the head of state now—for the first time—a member of the Finns Party. Accusations of fraudulent votes existed before election night had even come to a close, but as of October, it seemed that Karvonen finally saw himself in power. His first address to the Finnish people was one of gratitude for their unprecedented support, but so too of anger for what he claimed was essentially a Norse attack on Finland. Tensions with Norr had become severely strained, and Karvonen's election was doubtlessly pessimistic.

Torn by the Times

The city of Zabrze has felt alienated by the proposals by Warsaw to use Lublin's green initiative as a testing ground as Zabrze is a coal mining city and would lose millions if the coal plants were to be shut down. Mayor of Zabrze, Małgorzata Mańka-Szulik, sent her concerns and the concerns of the companies to Warsaw. Warsaw sent back a rebuttal stating that the survey did not include the citizens themselves and whether they'd like to eventually make a switch to renewable and or clean energy methods. Mayor Mańka-Szulik understood Warsaws complaint and had a direct survey issued to all residents of the town, via a snap local referendum.

"Would you like to see Zabrze eventually phase out coal for clean/renewable energy sources."

Survey takers, which represented 60% of the population voted to keep the coal as most worked or knew someone who worked in coal. Those that did vote to phase out were given an option to adopt the Lublin Plan and buy solar panels and then connect to the grid. No other measures would be taken to force the "No" voters to make the switch as a condition of the introduction of the Lublin Plan as asked by Mayor Mańka-Szulik. Some "No" voters that had the money, pooled together to see if reopening the Ludwik coal mine could be feasible and conducted a study of the coal in the mines area. Enough was found to break even and have a small profit as well for 20 years. Said voters petitioned the city council who allowed them to do so and sent the notice of intent to Warsaw who granted them the tools to do so. An article was written in a Varsovian magazine about the town stating their desire to remain "in the past" and a preference to not adapt to the changing times. Zabrzians criticised the article stating the changing times would destroy their livelihood and destroy the charm.

Though the office had been hewn down to an almost ceremonial post by a series of constitutional amendments in 1991, 2000, and 2012, the governing alliance in the Finnish Parliament had cordially cooperated with President Sauli Niinistö to restore many of the lost Presidential powers in 2022 as a gesture of goodwill to a beloved moderate head of state, who never sought the amendments personally but admitted their usefulness to his work as President. Now, the office looked wretchedly unamended—Karvonen had an array of powers unlike most Presidents in semi-presidential systems, owing to the unusally strong authority of the Finnish president originally granted as a compromise for a non-monarchical system in the early Finnish Republic. Fears were increasingly wide that Karvonen would use this authority to dissolve the Parliament and force an election, understanding that it would yield much higher representation for the Finns Party than exists the current legislature (elected in 2023) or a future one (elected in 2027), by which time a formidable opposition might exist to criticize the party if it made any key mistakes before then.

Political analysts noted several major themes in Karvonen's first October speeches. Karvonen's addresses—given at state dinners, military events, or simply his personal website—were marked, chiefly, by clear intentions to continue cordial relations with the neighboring states of Sweden, Russia, and Livonia (which borders on Estonia, Finland's dependent republic) in opposition of Norr, which Karvonen continues to blame for the death of his predecessor as well as various ills allegedly suffered by Finno-Ugric minorities there. Minor themes included his support for nuclear energy expansion, militarization in Lapland, and the Finnish native faith—Suomenusko—on which he has authored several occult texts. Accordingly, nuclear energy programs continued at breakneck pace, military maneuvers in Lapland were to be granted further expansions, and the Committee for Cultural Survival—at Karvonen's insistence—began inquiries into funding the Finnish native faith in the name of cultural preservation. The controversial election that brought Karvonen to power could virtually be seen as a cautionary tale now. The Finns Party's race to power has been unparalleled in recent Finnish history, and the wave of conservatism that has swept the nation will doubtlessly find its way into the history books. Observers now wait for the inevitable wave of opposition to topple it.

| GOBIERNO IMPERIAL DE ESPAÑA |

______________

Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo elected leader of the People's Party (PP), moves party towards moderate progressivism and cracks down on party corruption

| The People's Party (PP) is a centrist-conservative, Christian-democratic political party in Spain. It was established as a 1989 re-foundation of the People's Alliance (AP), a party lead by former minister of the dictatorship Manuel Fraga and founded back in 1976 as an alliance of post-Francoist proto-parties. The People's Party is currently a member of the centre-right European People's Party (EPP) and in the European Parliament its 16 MEPs sit in the EPP Group. The party is currently lead by Pablo Casado, when he won a victory in the July 2018 PP leadership election. Under Casado's leadership, the party swung towards the right, all the while maintaining the conservative principles upon which the party was based on. During the 2020 general elections, the party achieved the worst result in its history, winning just 16.7% of the national vote - a decline of almost 16% from the 2016 election - and losing over half its seats. |

| In 2024, the centrist-conservative People's Party signed a coalition agreement with the centrist Ciudadanos, which had a Prime Minister in office and a very strong minority in the Spanish Cortes Generales (legislative body of the Kingdom of Spain). The agreement strongly deviated from party leader Casado's right-leaning progressive platform of politics, which began a chain of events that began with a petition by far-right members of the PP to oust Casado and ended with the party's leadership calling for a leadership election. Although this chain of events would last several months, the effects of it most certainly left its mark on Spain's political stage - and it will have a strong influence on future government elections. |

| The September 2025 PP leadership elections resulted in a landslide victory for Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo, a moderate progressive member of the People's Party who has been a longtime ally of Casado, mainly because she was used as a bridge between Casado and his right-wing conservative supporters and the substantial progressive portion of the People's Party. Alvarez De Toledo secured a landslide 72% of the popular vote, thanks to her promise to the also-substantial far-right members of the party that 'her politics will be considerate of all aspects of the political spectrum', a promise that will most likely not be kept because of the volatility of Spanish politics. |

| A moderate progressive from her start in politics, Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo served as a major part of Pablo Casado's leadership of the People's Party, thanks to her political alignment with the progressives of the party and her willingness to compromise with Casado's right-wing portion of the party. Her 'personal bipartisanship' led her to secure the position of Secretary-General of the party in 2021. During the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the country still reeling from tens of thousands of deaths, Alvarez de Toledo strongly backed Ciudadanos's radically progressive economic policies, with the goal of ensuring rapid economic recovery from the country. When Ciudadanos rose to popularity thanks to its lethal effectiveness at helping the nation recover, Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo forged stronger ties between the Cs and the PP to secure the progressive party's support for the People's Party's legislation, which was then struggling to pass through the Spanish Cortes. Alvarez de Toledo was jubilant when the right-leaning Pablo Casado signed the coalition agreement with Ciudadanos Prime Minister Augustina Torres in a joint effort to secure a legislative majority for the two parties in the Cortes. The Secretary-general praised the PP's efforts 'to establish a strong, united coalition to fight against the extremist politicians of Spain'. |

| Upon her election to the office of President of the People's Party (PP), Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo announced a storm of sweeping reforms that would carry the party to a platform of moderate progressivism. The right-wing portion of the party immediately got riled up, protesting against the move and calling it 'a blatant disregard for Spanish sovereignty and nationalism'. Alvarez de Toledo responded with equal strength, firmly stating that a move towards moderate progressivism was 'essential' to the continued survival of the party. She cited dropping popularity rates for Spanish conservatism, and pointed at skyrocketing public support for radically progressive parties like Ciudadanos. The right conceded shortly afterwards, and the party leadership approved the reforms. |

| Now further aligned with Ciudadanos, the PP's strongest ally in the Spanish Cortes, Alvarez de Toledo set out to consolidate the PP's hold on power and ensure that her share of the popular vote did not drop further. She announced plans to establish a Party Public Support Committee, an Executive Secretariat for Candidates, and a Party Political Orientation Board. The main goal of these new committees, secretariats, and boards within the PP was to stir up public support for the party, organize, confirm, and screen candidates representing the party in Spanish politics, and to properly gauge the party's actual alignment on the political spectrum. |

| Among the most prominent of these new establishments is the Executive Secretariat for Candidates, or the ESC. The Secretariat for Candidates, as it is called in short, has the sole purpose of organizing, confirming, and most importantly, screening candidates who represent the People's Party officially in some degree. One of the main drivers behind the downhill slump of the party's popularity was the numerous scandals and corruption cases which plagued the party in the 2010s. Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo established the ESC mainly to screen the candidates representing the party, and to ensure they don't have suspicious links to shady corporations or are connected to possible corruption and embezzlement schemes. Alvarez de Toledo also proposed the establishment of a Party Integrity Board (PIB), but is currently experiencing strong opposition from right-wing members of the party's diverse leadership. |

[sub]| THE HAGUE —The Netherlands, the population, economic, and cultural center of the Benelux, is a region where 50% of the land is less than 1 Meter (3.3 feet) above sea level, 25% of land is below sea level, and the remainder barely reaches above the 1 meter mark. This reality is what gained this region its name: “Neder” or low “lands”, a subset of the greater “Low Countries” which encompasses the full scope of the Benelux in Europe. No greater threat has been posed to the Beneluxer’s way of life since the Volk invasion of World War II, or the Cold War than that of Climate Change, Prime Minister Rutte made clear in remarks to Parliament last night.[/sub]

[sub]Since the early 2000’s scientists have been sounding the alarm through documentaries, panel discussions, reports, and conferences of the danger posed by a lack of intentional effort to curb the effects of hyper-Industrialization which has defined the development of economies since the 1950s, and even the mid-1800s. For long conventional wisdom had it that the path to national wealth was through the exploitation of raw materials be it Oil, gold, & rubber extraction (among others), the development of heavy industry, pursuit of nuclear energy, and cheap deregulated products, shipped globally in a manner inefficient yet lucrative. Countries from China, to India, the USAN, Japan, Brazil, and many others - with great success - were able to close the gap between them and their former colonial parents in less than a century. Yet, this pursuit of short term gains resulted in the degradation of the most prestigious naturescapes from the Rhine of Europe to the Paramerican West and Midwest, Brazilian Amazon, rivers of India, and countless scenes in between. The case study for this issue can be seen through the tragedy of Naru, which was once among the most beautiful places on the planet, who grew into the wealthiest nation per capita in the world, before falling to an abandoned and scorned former paradise. In a literal sense, the ”Island which are itself”. Critical must be the view of all states when faced with Crisis that will define the future of ours and indeed all other species of the earth. The current formula for developing the great powers of this age, and those which support them in the periphery, will be the cause of our collective demise[/sub]

[sub]The rebuff of us in Europe from developing states has been universal — ”How can we care for the environment, now, when the wealth we possess is the result of the practices we pressure others to abandon”. I tell you, our sins have cost us the moral pulpit — but the great miracle of the last 70 years has been a willingness to recognize that we have failed to uphold or dearest principles in the past, but are committed to rectifying these wrongs. Europe, and indeed the west at-large, must seek out partners across the globe to alter our current formula for national success before it is too late and all of the world’s major population centers lay beneath meters of ocean.[/sub]

[sub]In this, the Benelux will be among the first to sink beneath the waves, but if the nations of the world do not take this crisis seriously, we will not be the last.[/sub][/list]

2025 OCTOBER 16

TBILISI - REPUBLIC OF GEORGIA

[B]RUSSIAN FORCES BEGIN WITHDRAWAL FROM GEORGIA WITH FULL TRANSFER OF ADMINISTRATIVE POWERS BY 2027[/B]

The defeat of Iran in the Sixth Russo-Persian War resulted in Russian military occupation of the three caucasian republics, and the establishment of civil administrative missions in the respective republics. Russia objectives following victory were the successful completion of democratic elections and the eventual transition of power from the Russian Civil Administration to the newly elected Georgian government. Russian authorities have been largely successful in achieving their objectives, as seen firstly with the election of Vazha Lortkipanidze as President of the Republic of Georgia. Her election was not only a representation of successful free and fair elections, but also a symbol of the beginning of the end of occupation. In an open letter to the President-elect Vazha Lortkipanidze, President Ivchenko stressed the importance of an agreement to end the occupation, one which after nearly a year has finally been agreed in ink.

Under the Agreement on the Withdrawal of Russian forces and the Transition to State Administration, Georgia and Russia agreed to three vague basic points which will successfully guide the withdrawal process.

I. Russian Occupation Forces in Georgia will actively decrease over a 2 year period with full withdrawal to be completed no later than 1 August 2027.

[list]I.A 4th and 7th Military bases are exempt from the withdrawal[/list]

II. Transfer of state administrative powers in all areas but defence to be achieved by the February of 2026

[list]II.A The area of national defence to be transferred by 1 August 2027[/list]

III. Signing of the Treaty of Tbilisi between Georgia and Russia ending the of Russian occupation as a subject of geopolitical reality

Though Russia is ending its administrative duties in Georgia, the two states will further deepen relations and strengthen sovereign ties through the Organisation of Sovereign States. Through the OSS, both will cooperate in defence and the common military space, while also actively participating in the sphere of joint activity largely through the coordinating of foreign policy and the expansion and development of the common economic space. Georgia, after being liberated by Russian forces, is set on fully embracing its international responsibilities, especially those related to the Organisation of Sovereign States and its fraternal allies.

DIE ZEIT - SPECIAL EDITION

10 GERMANS CITIZENS FROM THUNBERG'S SAILING BOAT WERE IN FACT ASSASSINATED*

BERLIN - Perhaps we forget quickly. But Greta Scheffner decided that the death of 10 Germans citizens, including Greta Thunberg, would not be forgotten.

Yesterday, the Chancellor came to the press briefing with a serious face and figure rather contrary to her current positive attitude. The binder she holds looks thick with pictures and hundreds of pages. The journalist that I was felt worried. Perhaps she was going to discuss an early resignation ? an attack ? something about Russia ? But it was nothing of that. The story began as she told the press but also television.

[list]

"My fellow journalists, and especially dear citizens, on the 12th of september 2024, 10 citizens of Germany were declared missing in an incident involving a sailing boat in which they were all crew members. The Central American Authorities which we contacted confirmed the accident nature of this disappearance."[/list]

The room turned immediately into silence. There was something terrible coming.

[list]Greta Scheffner

"However, according to our specialists in all domains from weather, to naval engineers and political analysts, the theory of the incident could not be totally confirmed. There were too many contradictions and too many elements which put together could not lead this theory."[/list]

It is true that already couple hours after the death of Thunberg and the crew, rumors had begun about a possible assassination from Central American forces or worse, the Pantera group. Not much attention was given to such theories. The diplomatic service of Germany had played the card of silence for a specific reason the Chancellor was going to reveal.

[list]Greta Scheffner

"For this reason, and in conjunction with my staff at the Bundesnachrichtendienst, we decided to open an investigation for the death of Greta.T and the crew, Uwe.S, Natalie.P, Karl.S-A, Janos Z., Nicolas A., Tim I., Lena T., Charline V. and Judith M. The investigation had the objective of clearing the reason why the boat disappeared. The letter of mission did not ask for proof of an assassination but only investigating what really happened. Either it confirmed the official version, or there was more to it"[/list]

We were allowed to get a copy of the report. A lot of details have been kept confidential. Yet the story turns towards a conclusion in which the death of the activist was not an incident. In page 123 of the Report, it says : ​

[list]

Page 123 REPORT OF THE DEATH OF GRETA T. and OTHERS

"agents X. Y. and E. confirm on several occasions that the activist Greta T. was already subject to surveillance and that her coming into Central American waters had been the topic of many formal as well as informal discussions among army staff Rodrigo P. and Carlos T. in which discussion on how "to get rid of this b*tch" were discussed. [/list]

The accounts become even more disturbing as the report goes further :

[list]

Page 210 REPORT OF THE DEATH OF GRETA T. and OTHERS

"Preliminary reports suggest that the sailing boat LaVagabonde could have been fired upon by a navy vessel of the Central American Navy, explaining the quick disappearance of the vessel. Scarce evidence of remains of the vessel which were confirmed to be part of the German Registered Vessel CW-135F, show evidence of rupture of the vessel by shots and not by weather. (...) Burnt books and burnt pieces were confirmed after forensic analysis in Switzerland"

[File 24 Picture of pieces A, B, C and D of the vessel][/list]

[list]

Page 212 REPORT OF THE DEATH OF GRETA T. and OTHERS

“Agent E. managed to get a hold of a document n°35 which is titled ORDER OF RECYCLE with the object 20 MM SHELLS (SMELTING) x 1200. The order was wired to Pantera production site B. (…) An email exchange suggested that this high use of ammo was in relation to a military exercise on the day of the sinking of the vessel. (…) Yet, no documents or witnesses from various source s suggests that a military exercise took place on this specific area.”

[File 28 Email File 29 Order][/list]

There, it is said, the death of Greta T. was not an accident. At least it was possibly not. The report never confirms it, but suggests clearly that this is the true account of the story. But no confirmation can be made as the first few pages of the Report suggests.

[list]

Page 16 REPORT OF THE DEATH OF GRETA T. and OTHERS

The Report makes no official conclusions but brings a new possible and probable explanation as to what happened to Greta T. and the nine other crew. The Central American authorities have not given us access to the site and therefore, our investigation was made with formal and informal testimonies, evidence that our agents were able to find and the cooperation of certain members of society which remain anonymous for their protection.

[/list]

The story outraged Germans on social media and everywhere around the world as Jonas Pölser remains in jail in Vietnam for a crime he never committed. It shows that Greta Scheffner did the right thing. Whether justice will be imposed on Central America or not is something that is left to diplomacy and the game of power. However, the truth had to be revealed. It would have been a scandal to not investigate and leave 10 germans dead with no revelation on how they were in fact assassinated. Many commentators had at first depicted ATEO as an agency that was purely intrusive. Yet, their agents show why their work and their talent is respected around the world.

Couple days after this revelation, Germany began proceedings in front of the International Court of Justice against Central America for not respecting its international obligations on criminal procedures and access to justice, demanding reparations and the recovery of the bodies of the ten victims.

The case now know as "The Ten of the Vagabond" falls into another list of prominent cases involving the treatment of Germans around the world. It is perhaps the price to be a free country with active citizens. But we must remind ourselves, and so must any German outside home, that the German Eagle doesn't let any death unseen when suspicious. Jonas Pölser is next on the list of Germans deserving freedom before death hits. Scheffner, on her last mandate, has sworn to take every step possible to make sure he leaves Vietnam alive and well.

2025 OCTOBER 20

MOSCOW - RUSSIAN FEDERATION

[B]DEPUTIES ARRESTED FOR CRIMES AGAINST THE STATE AND RUSSIAN PEOPLE.[/B]

On 15 March, the Supreme Soviet of the Russian Federation voted to adopt the new constitution, one which firmly delineates the rights and freedoms of the people, as well as establishes the organisational principles for the state and government. The central leading position of the party, which is defined by the organisational principles of the government and by other relevant laws of the Russian Federation, outlaws political organisations outside of Democratic Union, of which the VKP is the central leading member. Recognising the legal situation in Russia, which is in-line with Russia’s democratic principles, political parties and independent members within the Supreme Soviet were instructed to apply for union membership or face potential ejection from the legislative body and possible detention. A respectable percentage of individual sitting members of political parties in the legislature willingly joined the Democratic Union, however many refused and wilfully violated the laws of the Russian Federation. As a result, 57 of the 101 sitting members of the People’s Alliance political party, 20 sitting Independent members, and all sitting members of Civic Platform were successfully detained and charged with operating rightist organisations, participating in anti-state activities, and collaborating with foreign agents, among other crimes against the state and the Russian people. Their detention demonstrates Russia’s overall commitment to safeguarding Russia’s people’s democracy from lingering anti-state actors.

As per the law of the Russian Federation, vacant seats within the federal legislature must be filled by appointment by the regional government for which the vacancy corresponds. The appointee serves the remainder of the legislative term, with the seat becoming open for contesting during the federal election. With the heads of Russia’s administrative regions being independent or party members of the Democratic Union, the vacancies are assured to be filled by union members. This ultimately brings about the complete defeat of anti-state actors in the federal legislature, and a victory for President Ivchenko’s post-Putin struggle for democracy. With a near-total majority in the legislature, and legally sanctioned opposition already crippled, President Ivchenko and his premier are free to pursue more transformative policies in the economy. The president will also pursue a more active foreign policy, finally addressing the usurping of power in Belarus, the rights of Russians in Livonia and Baltic Finland (Estonia), and further strengthening eastern relationships amongst others. However, despite the refocusing of the administration, Ivchenko may continue to face growing opposition from rogue Deputies Marinka Chukchova and Yuriy Ulitsky, who fled to the United Kingdom, and vowed to garner wider international support against the government's “increasing authoritarianism”.

Neglected Towns and Wines Flowing

2025

Poland

While going about his business dealings throughout the nation, former President Lech Wałęsa spent the night in Katowice. While sleeping he had a dream and one thing stood out, the name of the city of Ruda Śląska. Upon waking, former President Wałęsa, decided to clear his morning and early afternoon schedule and visit the city which he never got the chance to while President. With it being a Sunday when he'd be in the city, he decided to attend the 08:00 service at the St. Paul the Apostle church. After the service, he was spotted by the Mayor, Grażyna Dziedzic, who invited him for brunch nearby. The two chatted and former President Wałęsa apologised for never visiting the town, and donated 500,000 USD to the town for any small businesses to have a better chance at making it and not closing down in 5 years time. He then thanked the mayor for allowing him to visit and departed back onto his schedule, which was going to receive an award from Katowice for assisting them with bringing Silesian youth into the workforce via grants and scholarships to universities within Silesian Poland. He'd bring along Mayor Grażyna Dziedzic as his guest to pay homage to the smaller cities and during said speech would stress the urgency to never forget or neglect the smaller towns and cities. After the award ceremony, former President Wałęsa, cancelled many of his meetings in the big ten cities and decided to focus on helping smaller towns and cities keep up with the times, and was noticed by the Minister of Finance in Warsaw, Tadeusz Kościński, who recommended to PM Mateusz Moraweicki to create a new Ministry. The Ministry of Small Business Affairs was created modeled after the US Small Business Administration.

Meanwhile, in the city of Zielona Góra, Mayor Janusz Kubicki was preparing for the annual wine festival and began work on getting the various vineyards and vinters set up with registering their booths. Mayor Kubicki, this year personally was on hand to reviewing and accepting some of the permits, and even decided to set up a small European section, in which a small or medium sized vineyard from Germany France and Italy could have a booth. Kubicki also sent invites to each of the winegrowing voivodeships. In total around 150 booths were set up offering winetastings, wine pairing lessons, some were even hiring people to learn how wine is made and the business of winemaking, all of the booths offered bottles, and glasses to sell along with some smaller plates so you dont fill up entirely on drinks. In addition to the vineyard booths, 50 street food booths were set up in a large food court and 50 more were for non consumable alcohol related goods to be purchased. Mayor Kubicki's team predicted this would be one of the highest attendances and one of the most profitable. News of the event reached Warsaw and PM Moraweicki showed up to sample some wines and the like. He'd also be bringing a loan of 5M to expand winemaking and to transform the city into the Napa-Sonoma Valley of Poland.

[pre]October 4, 2025

Abu Dhabi, USAN

National Library of Arabia - Commission on Records - Sub-Committee on Peninsular History[/pre]

[sub]Documentary begins with an aerial panoramic view of the USAN done by precision camera drones and a ground panoramic view by the National Council on Public Relations.[/sub]

It would be a normal day in the Union-State of Arab Nations. A large flag of the USAN periodically waved on an elongated gold pole in the middle of Abdulrahman Square in Abu Dhabi directly above an 8 foot statue of His Excellency President Almanzor Radwan Jermell Abdulrahman as the wind would increase and decrease within seconds. The Abdulrahmanist International Airport downtown is rather busy as usual. Ever since the increase in foreign investments and implementation of the new economy, the private sector of the USAN has initiated a boom in the need for airfare and constant travels within the country and abroad. Children would be running around the legs of their parents playing hide and go seek and laughing with missing teeth and stained shirts from traditional desserts and drinks. Men and women in suits blended in with those in traditional garbs as the cacophonous noise of chattering, laughs, debates, and discussions of politics, the economy, religion, and both international and regional political crises between echoed throughout the airport and the capital city. Outside is even busier with the presence of a bustling, modernizing economy and a sea of taxi cabs and government cars entering and leaving Abu Dhabi. The scenery is enhanced via a plethora of luxury vehicles that have become standard preferred automobiles as the GDP per capita stands approximately $36,000 and the ongoing position of the USAN as the global energy power. The languages to be heard present other than Arabic is English, Korean, Russian, German, Spanish, and Japanese; however, all people as far as the eye could see were dressed in suits and traditional Arab garbs, except for the teenagers and young adults present. The USAN Supreme Arab Directorate recently passed a new bill regarding new social cohesion and appropriate mannerisms in accordance to Abdulrahmanism. As required and mandated by the Abdulrahmanist State, all students and individuals between the age of 14-25 must wear the State-sanctioned "militant" uniform to show solidarity, unity, and loyalty to the Abdulrahmanist ideology. To ensure compliance and proper adherence to the new law, the National Council on Education as well as the Sovereign Shura Council on Islamic Jurisprudence and Social Cohesion and the National Council on Defense and Security Integrity have jointly established The Civil Corps, which has become mandatory for all citizens of the USAN to become a member of within the next year. The Civil Corps is also intended to ensure the proper flow and preservation of Abdulrahmanism in Arabia. What was present was a variety of ranking among those in their uniforms as medals and awards reflected the light of the sun. Most were in groups illustrating small platoons while there were some that were alone and seemingly in a hurry.

Other than flags of the USAN being in and around the airport and across Abu Dhabi, there were also large statues of Eternal President Abdulrahman along with murals of the President and the Grand Emir Abdullah bin al-Hussein Abdulrahman I, and propaganda messages from the Supreme Arab Directorate. Members of the Supreme Arab Directorate, supporters of President Abdulrahman and the Grand Emir, along with members of militant Abdulrahmanists, who call themselves The Fundamental Army of Arabia (FAA), radical political Abdulrahmanists, who call themselves The Pillars of Abdulrahman, and a fanatic Abdulrahman religious organization, known as "The Order of Mohammad" appear in full force wearing armbands that showed the insignia of the Suprme Arab Directorate while also holding up flags of the USAN in unison and solidarity. On some of the corners, there are individuals in groups of seven, who are reading from both the original ideological book of Abdulrahmanism, which is known as "The Book of Arab Enlightenment and Awakening: The True Promotion and Advocacy of Arab Identity and Modernization" as well as the revised and updated version drafted by the Grand Emir entitled "The Code of Arab Rejuvenation: State, Tradition, and Legacy (قانون التجديد العربي: دولة ، وتقاليد ، وإرث)". In fact, even crossing guards and police officers appeared in militant wardrobes and would cross the street in modified, subtle goose steps, appearing to operate in synchronous fashion.

A sweet smell of fragrance and incenses blesses the atmosphere across Abu Dhabi, of which was also mandated by the Government that the "Capital of Abu Dhabi and important cities of the Abdulrahmanist State must represent the "cultural, environmental, spiritual, political, social, and economic purity through the satisfaction of all senses". The restocking and burning of incenses and fragrances are mandatory to happen once every hour in order to preserve the purity of the environment. In addition to such, the Abdulrahmanist State expresses importance and priority of civil cleanliness of streets, homes, buildings, and public facilities and constant paying of homage to statues of Eternal President Abdulrahman and the Grand Emir. Therefore, the civil sanitation department is deployed once every 2 hours to clean every street, every statue, every proximity of statues, national parks, community facilities, playgrounds, public transportation areas, and most importantly, the regions of the country that are most frequently visited by tourists and foreign guests.

[sub]The documentary would fade to black with atmospheric music after illustrating the current state of affairs of the USAN. The motion picture would return in a fading transition but would go back in time to 1952 in Muscat, Oman, which is the birthplace of the Abdulrahmanist ideology. The picture would be predominately black and white but remastered to avoid being grainy and unstable. The video would show half-built buildings, poverty and dirt roads, hunger, and tribal men on camels with unkempt beards. As the video would continue to highlight what Muscat looked like in 1952, Deputy Chairman of the National Council on Education Mohammed Abdul Wahed Al Hammadi would begin speaking:[/sub]

[list][list][pre]"Arabia in 1952...what can I say about that period...how long do we have ahah? It was an interesting period to be alive in true honesty. In Egypt, the 1952 revolution did send some shockwaves across the regime but more so in the Levant. Arabia to a degree remained isolated by the sociopolitical and economic consequences that immediately followed the rise of Gamal Abdel Nasser. Meanwhile, that same year, an individual in Muscat started to rise in prominence with a revolution of his own. Because of the state of Oman in that year as well as its lack of credibility and importance even in regional affairs, these events gained little to no attraction at all, which is understandable when taking into consideration the relationship the Egyptian Republic had with the great powers at the time being the United States, France, and the United Kingdom primarily. Nobody really knew nor expected that the movement from Muscat would collide with Nasser's movement for what has now been a 73 year long battle for regional supremacy..."[/pre][/list][/list]

The trailer would end with a dramatic puzzle being put together to display the image of President Abdulrahman in 1952 holding a dove while displaying "Abdulrahman" in English and Arabic.

IN BID FOR PUBLIC FAVOR, KARVONEN DIRECTS OCCUPATION OF FINNMARK

[list][sup]A PRESIDENT OF ACTION

FINLAND—AUTUMN 2025[/sup][/list]

Alvi Karvonen, current President of Finland—inaugurated after a shocking election that followed the death of his predecessor—had risen to power based on promises of retaliatory action for several alleged grievances with Norr and a detailed vision for a "modern but proud Finland". In order to appease those who voted for him and grant domestic legitimacy to his presidency—no matter how many enemies he might make—Karvonen and his cabinet were well aware that the public needed to see decisive action on his behalf. After the constitutionally-mandated consultation with the Defense Minister and Prime Minister—the latter of whom is rumored to have objected strongly—Karvonen thus ordered seven thousand Finnish troops stationed in Lapland to quietly occupy a region of seventeen Norse municipalities that constituted much of the region where a government report alleged that the Norse government had reneged on previous promises to protect Finno-Ugric minorities.

There was little to report about the operation itself. On the evening of the 25th of October, 2025, Finnish troops spread out in a swift and bloodless occupation of a region ranging from Vardø to the Finnmark Plateau, meeting virtually no resistance and—in a few areas—celebration as branches of the Ruijan Kveeniliitto, a Kven rights organization that campaigned against the Germanicization of Kven culture, welcomed advancing Finnish soldiers. "In light of the grievous offenses against our cousin cultures," Karvonen's government announcement went the next morning, "the Republic of Finland has assumed stewardship over many of the border towns in which Norr has subjected its minorities to cultural erasure. We ask you, Kven and Sami people of Norr—join us in the rescue of Finno-Ugric civilization. To those fellow Finno-Ugrians in areas that our liberating servicemen were unable to reach—your home awaits you. Come to us in Finland. Your language, culture, and people will live on." Finnish soldiers were given operational orders on the 26th to seek out the flying of the Norse flag at public buildings and replace them with three—the flag of Finland first, Sápmi second, and the Kven people third.

The public façade of the "liberation" of the Kven and Sami people was somewhat undermined by that the area occupied by Finnish soldiers—though home to several thousand persons of those groups—did not include the northernmost peninsulas on which Kven culture was most prominent (areas aforementioned by Karvonen as being "unable to reach" by Finnish soldiers at present). In truth, the maneuver chiefly provided Karvonen with much-needed domestic legitimacy, as previously mentioned—but it also gave Finland practical access to the Arctic sea at the large harbors of Vardø and Svartnes. Nonetheless, to keep up the image of Finnish goodwill, "celebrations of liberation" were held with local leaders of the Sami community at Karasjok—where the "Sami Parliament of Norr" had been seated. Kven leaders were invited to speak at a similar ceremony at the Kirkenes Church and a general celebration of Finnish stewardship was held at the ancient Vardøhus Fortress (which was now shifting its ownership for the fifth time since its construction in 1306) with President Karvonen in personal attendance.

"From this month forward," Karvonen said in his speech at the Fortress, "the Finno-Ugrians of Norr will know no governors but themselves. Our esteemed neighbor states of Sweden and Russia have duly shown us that they respect our people and give them the rights they inherently deserve—but that northern Kingdom has tried to spite and maim our culture and nations enough. We have done and will continue to do what we must to put an end to it."

GERMAN GOVERNMENT WARNS THAT AGRESSION IN EUROPE HAS NO PLACE - GERMANY CONFIRMS READINESS TO INTERVENE WITH NATO MANDATE BASED ON ARTICLE 5

Yarosluv, Amsterwald, Connomia

At the Bundeskanzlerei, the Chancellor was discussing the results if a Court case when an urgent diplomatic cable of the German Embassy in Finland came through. In it, the German Ambassador wrote in capital letters "POSSIBLE OCCUPATION OF FINNMARK - NO REPORTS BUT PLEASE PREPARE".

The heart of Scheffner sank as she read the paper. The meeting was immediately adjourned. The Chancellor took a quick phone call to the Minister of Defense, Leonard Huller, with one word "36". This code meant that the Defense Council had to meet as quickly as possible. In only two hours, the Castle of Berlin received the Minister of Defence, General Von Nielsen, General Reich, and General Brey.

The situation called for a progressive approach. It wasn't sure that Yarosluv would request assistance from anyone. But this was agreed to be the only channel of intervention of Germany at least in a direct way. To prepare for this eventuality, the Chancellor and all Generals agreed for the immediate preparation of the 12th Infantry Division and its transfer to the port of Hamburg. The task would prove complicated. The 12th infantry division was not yet prepared for a clear winter war coming if they had to assist the Nordic forces. It would therefore take time to adapt it and increase their training in one of the most hostile and complicated environments of the world.

Beyond that, General Von Nielsen simply knew that the German army could not reach the area without either authorisation from Sweden or from the Norr Kingdom. The first option would prove difficult to grant but this was still a possibility. The Ambassador of Germany in Sweden was left with an instruction the next day to open negotiations for a military access treaty in relation to a possible operation in Finnmark.

On the other hand, the Norr Kingdom would prove to be a better ally if Germany were to side with them. The Ambassador there received calls to contact the Norr leadership.

For Scheffner, the situation was a disaster. Europe, at least Western Europe, or more specifically, Northern Europe, had not witnessed such open agression for nearly 100 years. It was a terrible setback in the project of European peace. Later, she appeared in front of the Chancellery and made the following declaration:

[list]"What we have witnessed is a clear violation of the international agreements. This use of force is clearly condemned by the State of Germany. We shall take action on this matter in due time while we discuss with our partners in Europe and on both sides of the conflict. While a conflict on another continent may not affect us, this one, does. And the risk it poses not just for the Norr Kingdom or Finland but also for Sweden, and therefore, the European Union is real. Any escalation could lead to disaster. It furthermore is clear, than in this situation, the Atlantic Treaty upon which NATO is built, means that this attack on one of us is an attack on all of us.This must be prevented at all costs. I have also decided to summon the United Nations Security Council on the matter"[/list]

The attack on the Norr Kingdom was an attack on NATO. Immediately after the announcement, the German Government informed the Secretary General of its readiness to assist the Norr Kingdom and the SHAPE was also informed of the offers of the German Bundeswehr and the fact that the 12th Infantry Division was already on its way pending confirmation by the Government of Norr Kingdom and the organisation of a NATO operation of defense.

Couple hours after as well, the German Delegation in New York at the United Nations sent a letter to the Secretary and Clerk of the UNSC in which it was said that "the German Delegation requests an immediate and urgent meeting regarding the events in Finnmark". But the German Delegation and its director, Paul Brümann, already could tell that the UNSC would not be of great help if the Norr Kingdom refused assistance. It was therefore a question of both Germany diplomacy and military tactics to try and avoid a possible disaster in Europe, one not seen since the Yugoslav war of 2015 in which 4000 german troops died for the defense of the European Union.

MIXED REACTIONS AS CONVENTION CALLED TO INTEGRATE OCCUPIED TERRITORIES

[list][sup]UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT

FINLAND—AUTUMN 2025[/sup][/list]

Domestically, the Finnish occupation of Finnmark was met, for the most part, with mixed reactions. Skeptics from all points along the political spectrum strongly questioned Karvonen's use of force in "liberating" groups whose "oppressed" nature was dubious in the first place. Such critics were usually countered with the observation that the occupation has been completely bloodless and was made in the face of "a regime that never would have bent to the will of democracy", in the words of President Karvonen. That argument, though it fell flat in the face of the erudite liberal critics of Karvonen, seemed adequate to pacify the public. The debate nonetheless captured all corners of Finnish politics as Karvonen personally called for a major constitutional revision to induct a new state—Ruija, the Finnish name for Finnmark—into the Republic. Meanwhile, the Finnish Armed Forces were hard at work collaborating with surveyors and strategists to secure what was effectively a new border with Norr, handling a minor refugee crisis as at least a thousand Norse citizens frantically rushed to the other side of the Norse border, and attempting to keep the peace and repurpose local police departments as civil unrest began. The nation was a flurry of activity—while the gears of occupation were turning in the north, Finnish parliamentarians were struggling to draft an amendment for the new state in the south while questions about its very existence in violation of international law were ongoing.

KARVONEN AIMS TO PACIFY INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY

[list][sup]"THEY WERE OPPRESSED"

FINLAND—AUTUMN 2025[/sup][/list]

The Finnish occupation of Finnmark was now set to cause an irrefutable stir in the international community. The first ripples of it arrived in the form of a declaration by German Chancellor Scheffner, whose government was considering responses to Finland's actions. Karvonen's occupation had been executed on the wager that the dispute would be too remote, too minor, and too justified—even if that justification was flimsy—to warrant a response from any major powers; that, and unfolding crises in Somaliland were sure to be an adequate distraction. Nonetheless, Karvonen was proven wrong, and the accusative gaze of Germany had landed soundly on Helsinki. A hastily-drafted speech was soon given by Karvonen on television and his personal website—a transcription was passed along to embassies in Finland of neighboring or major countries, including Germany, Sweden, Livonia, Russia, and the United States.

"The Republic of Finland holds no grudge or ill will to any members of the esteemed international community," Karvonen affirmed, "and the events that have transpired in Finnmark have merely been a change of stewardship in the face of Norwegian neglect of our cousin peoples. The actions taken in this change were a last resort after repeated Norse refusals to negotiate the matter." Carrying on for over eight minutes, the Finnish President concluded with a promise that "the measures the Finnish nation took this month were manifestations of a democratic love of peace and respect, and will only ensure the fair treatment of long-shunned northern minorities." As discussions on integrating the region as Ruija progress in Helsinki, Finnish soldiers continue to cement their position in Finnmark, hoping that the region accedes to Finland as peacefully as Karvonen promised.

A Talk Behind Locked Doors

5th October, 2025

[spoiler=Very Important OOC Note *Read Me*]I have to retcon some stuff for the rest of my story to make sense. Isak Ottosson has been well established as the Speaker of the Riksdag. However, now he is going to be the Deputy Prime Minister. If you're asking who the Speaker of the Riksdag was/is now, my answer is that I have no clue. I could spend hours trying to figure out who the Speaker is but the thing is that there isn't a way I could make it so that it doesn't conflict or not make sense. You have to realize that Ottosson has to be the Deputy Prime Minister for it to connect to my planned story. Isak Ottosson also didn't really do too much stuff as Speaker so I'm just gonna ignore it for now. I'm sorry for confusing you guys and messing with the continuity.[/spoiler]

Gustav Holm sat in his chair with his hands on the desk, and looked sternly at the four people standing in front of him. Waiting nervously stood Hildur Sjögren, Zlatan Öberg, Elisabeth Björk, and Tomas Ohlson. The silence was thick in the room until eventually Holm broke the silence and started speaking.

[list]Gustav Holm: "I called all of you here because I have something important to tell you."[/list]

[list]Hildur Sjögren: "What do you want to tell us, Mr. Holm?"[/list]

[list]Gustav Holm: "I called you guys here so I can tell you that I plan on replacing Isak Ottosson."[/list]

[sub]*The four are surprised if not even shocked. They start to discuss among themselves.*[/sub]

[list]Zlatan Öberg: "This is some major news to drop on us all of a sudden. Could you please tell us more about this?"[/list]

[list]Gustav Holm: "Yes I will. Not only has he been gaining way too much power recently, but he's also leading a different god damn party. We can't trust him. I suspect that he's planning a coup or something of the sort."[/list]

[list]Elisabeth Björk: "What evidence do you have that makes you think he's planning a coup?"[/list]

[list]Gustav Holm: Well first off I had an argument with Isak, Leo, and Johannes which led to them creating the SNIP, and during that argument Isak talked about gaining a cult of personality and getting support from various groups and figures. Our cooperation has deteriorated quickly and he's gaining large amounts of power very quickly. Lastly, Öberg can vouch that recently some parts of the Armed Forces haven't been following all of our orders."[/list]

[list]Tomas Ohlson: "That's good and all, but what do we have to do with this?"[/list]

[list]Gustav Holm: "Well I'm gonna tell all of you. Hildur Sjögren, you will be the new Deputy Prime Minister."[/list]

[sub]*Sjögren is shocked by the news and is filled with a flurry of emotions.*[/sub]

[list]Hildur Sjögren: "Do you really think I'm worthy for such a powerful position, Gustav?"[/list]

[list]Gustav Holm: "Honey, you are more than capable of doing this. Hildur, you are the only person I found that was both loyal enough and capable to have this position."[/list]

[list]Gustav Holm: "Elisabeth, you will be the new Speaker of the Riksdag. I have a feeling that you can be a unifying figure in these troubling times."[/list]

[list]Elisabeth Björk: "I'll try my hardest, sir!"[/list]

[list]Gustav Holm: "Zlatan, you are one of the few high-ranking military officials that I know I can trust. That's why I'm telling you this, incase the military tries to do something against me. Do you understand?"[/list]

[list]Zlatan Öberg: "Absolutely Mr. Prime Minister."[/list]

[list]Gustav Holm: "Tomas, I brought you here because of one thing, your loyalty. You have been with me for the longest time and I know you are my most loyal ally. Loyalty like yours is valuable, especially in these times where I can trust almost nobody."[/list]

[list]Tomas Ohlson: "Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Holm."[/list]

A Fair, a Statue Garden, and a Warning

Yarosluv, Amsterwald, Connomia, Victoria Harbor

While in the city of Gliwice, Adam Zagajewski, decided to help the Silesian University of Technology establish its first science fair hosting many secondary school age students and their parents within each of it's 14 schools. The did so in the attempt to bring students more into the STEM side of the workforce and to also act as a sort of mass recruiting project. Zagajewski would help the school with it's marketing of said fair and send shoutouts to the lower performing schools as they are most need of help when it comes to keeping students in the graduating pool and not simply attending to avoid truancy and their parents anger. Those lower performing students who saw said announcements became more exited about said fair, and most even went to get some sort of a job to pay for transportation and lodging costs for the fair as the SUT fair would last for 5 days. This also would be another test for other universities to hold recruitment fairs in their campuses and cities.

Kielce had been going over which person would be best to establish a monument to and Mayor Bogdan Wenta chimed in stating the fact that Józef Piłsudski had come to Kielce and liberated it from Russian rule, it being the first major city to be freed. The city council would accept the proposal and had a couple of sculptors present their proposals and when the winner was chosen, a statue of him would be built alongside one of Pope John Paul II as the Polish people also love him. Kielce would soon establish a park dedicated to statues and monuments of the heroes of Poland and to the Polish People's. Mayor Wenta would soon request a list of about 10 heroes to be established in said park.

In National news, PM Mateusz Moraweicki would continue to offer a mediatory session for Finland and Norway and would condemn Finnish aggression towards sovereignty, specifically its neighbour Norway. Moraweicki also would echo German readiness to trigger Article 5 of NATO and would place its own troops on standby, from the Airforce to its Navy. The Tricity would be notified of troop movements and any forces moved to Gdansk if the need arises. Moraweicki would also send statements to the Swedes, Norwegians and an internal statement to the Sami that it would defend their lands, as the Sami peoples have had too many hardships to be forced to endure yet another one from its neighbours. Moraweicki would bring up Russian and German invasions of Poland under the guise of liberating and claiming extra land for use by Russians and Germans, but both ultimately failed. Moraweicki would also dispatch a Ministry of Defence member to Berlin to discuss options. Poland also would contact Russians regarding their Karelian and Murmansk federal subjects.

2025 OCTOBER

PERMANENT MISSION OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION TO THE UNITED NATIONS

[B]STATEMENT FROM THE RUSSIAN PERMANENT REPRESENTATIVE TO THE UNITED NATIONS ON THE ISSUE OF FINNMARK[/B]

The dispute between Finland and Norr had been on the radar of the Kremlin for some time, however Moscow paid little attention as it was dealing with internal political disputes, and the ongoing occupations in the far south. However, with the dispute now a full blown crisis following Finland’s use of military force to occupy Finnmark, the Kremlin was fully alerted to the situation and keen on finding any solution that avoids conflict and further destabilization of Northern Europe. The crisis, seemingly posed little threat to the stability of the Russian Federation, besides the possibility of those potentially seeking refuge in Russia. Although this admittedly is a very unlikely scenario. Seemingly good relations between Moscow and Helsinki, and amicable relations between Moscow and Copenhagen also put Russia in a unique position to act as a mediator for the two. However, with recent developments coming following the German Chancellors touting the possibility of intervention, Moscow is faced with the unwanted situation of “picking a side”. Potentially de-railing good relations, of which Russia has few in Europe, is not something the Kremlin was necessarily prepared to do. Although...German and more NATO troops again on Russia’s border is something the Kremlin will not tolerate. Thus, the Kremlin must surgically navigate the situation between Finland and Norr, while also demonstrating Russia’s willingness to operate within its near abroad/natural space irrespective of established “alliances”.

Through the use of its permanent representative to the United Nations, Russia will seek to act as a mediator between Finland and Norr, and indirectly threaten to act to "ensure stability". However, absent from the statement by the permanent representative is a condemnation of Finland for its use of force..a potential tool.

[sub]| 2025 OCTOBER | 0000 YS | Cracks in the Ice: No Response from Norr | COPENHAGEN | HELSINKI |[/sub]

[list][list][sub]Prime Minister Katrín Jakobsdóttir receives heat from the nation due to in-adequate and slow response to the Finnmark Crisis.[/sub][/list][/list]

[list]| SUNDAY. While many Norsemen and Norsewomen were at church, continuing their daily goings on or otherwise preoccupied with daily tasks, perhaps even just relaxing on a peaceful October day, Alvi Karvonen was busy readying himself and his nation for war. Hundreds of years of continuous, happy peace had finally ended between the Kingdom of Norr and the Republic of Finland. Despite continuous challenges, despite land disputes, despite political allegiances, despite ideological rifts… despite all odds, Fenno-Norse relations had always glowed brightly. A bright, white beacon of friendship. A model of friendship all nations could look up to, crushed by one man. This man may just be spite and envy, anger and wrath personified; Alvi Karvonen, whose absurd rise to power would make dictators of the passed smile proudly. |[/list]

[list]| On Sunday, October 12, 2025, the Finnish armies stationed in Lapland were ordered by the President of Finland, Alvi Karvonen, to guilefully invade the Kingdom of Norr and seize sizeable amounts of Territory in the Finnmark plateau (Norr’s largest plateau) on grounds of “ethnic liberation from hostile and oppressive powers”. This violent incursion from the hostile Finnish nation left one brave Alta Police Officer, Oskar Olafsson, injured and dozens of other officers petrified for their lives. The attack only lasted several hours as the territories seized by Finland seemed to be concentrated in the long disputed areas populated by Kven peoples. |[/list]

[list]| Politicians all throughout the nation immediately condemned the Finnish President and military personnel for the incursion with some demanding that the Finnish nation step down. Strangely enough, the Prime Minister of Norr has been relatively silent on the issue. With the Office of the Prime Minister issuing an official denunciation of Finland’s actions and the Royal Family issuing a public statement of “unity and togetherness”. King Haakon VIII took to social media immediately and declared quote; |[/list]

[list][list][pre]“ The invasion of Finnmark is a blatant violation of international modesty. On

behalf of the Royal Family, the Crown I’ve donned and the Norse people,

I fully condemn the actions of Finland and hold Alvi Karvonen fully responsible

for the clear, and dangerous, radicalization and mobilization of Finland against

Norr. ”

- Haakon VIII, King of Norr[/pre][/list][/list]

[list]| The King is not fully responsible for the military and in a strange way has little power in controlling whether or not the country’s troops mobilize. Instead the King of Norr can only authorize troop mobilizations that Parliament, the Prime Minister and the Defense Minister have agreed upon and passed through the legal process. With such limited powers, the King has instead issued an “emergency response decree”, urging the citizenry to stay away from the Finnmark area and away from the Finnish border until quote; “deemed safe”. Several right-wing and left-wing members of the folketing (parliament) have issued documents demanding that the troops be sent in to reclaim lost territories, however, the Prime Minister herself has not sent any documentation to aid in the decision making process. Instead, Prime Minister Jakobsdóttir has opted to remain silent on this issue. This is likely due to uncertainty as to what the right course of action is. With any movements being difficult ones to make. Experts disagree on what the outcome of the Finnmark Occupation will be. With some saying that if the Norse military makes movements North, it will lead to a brutal war for control of former territory. With others saying that it will instead turn into a DMZ and eventually pass on to Finland with relative peace. With such radically different outcomes, and the lives of many thousands to consider, this is a tough choice for any person, but as Prime Minister it is Jakobsdóttir’s responsibility to make that decision swiftly. Whispered rumors of a vote of no confidence being issued are already underway. |[/list]

[list]| One right wing politician from the region of Finnmark, Marianne Haukland, has made national headlines by openly defying the Royal No-entry Zone (NEZ) which was established around the Finnmark area by King Haakon VIII. MP Marianne Haukland, whom is a member of NORKON (the Norse Conservative Party), is a representative of the Finnmark area in the Parliament and is a native of the region. An open critique of Jakobsdóttir’s Administration and Finnish President Alvi Karvonen, who she once deemed a “Pagan Toddler”, Haukland stated her gripes with the Norse handling of the Finnmark crisis and furthered issued her pre-stated gripes with the Finnish government. This event was widely televised as Haukland’s bravery, or stupidity, helped display what was occurring in Finnmark. With Norse flags being torn down and burned, people fleeing, petrified of the occupying Finnish forces, and towns like Alta and Tromso being overrun with Kven and Sami refugees. Haukland soon thereafter became the most searched politician in Norr and garnered hundreds of thousands of followers on social media for her brave words. She stated, in a tweet, that she intends to quote; “issue two items to the Folketing. [1] The full mobilization of the Norse military to the Finnmark plateau and [2] a vote of no confidence against Prime Minister Katrín Jakobsdóttir". |[/list]

[list]| The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, showed piqued interest in any and all international cries for a peace summit for the issue to be resolved non-violently. |[/list]

[list]LIVONIAN GOVERNMENT BLASTS FINLAND OVER FINNMARK OCCUPATION, "FOREIGN RELATIONS RUINED" SAYS OZOLIҊ

[sub]25 October, 2025 | [/sub][/list]

RIGA — In light of the recent actions by the Finnish Republic, there have been ever increasing calls by the Parliament and Livonian Citizenry for the government to denounce the actions taken by Karvonen's administration. And after Russia's statement to the UN, the Livonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs publicly condemned the Finnish Republic, demanding that Finland follow the International Community's demands before the UN gets involved.

https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1572037

Analyst Evelīna Ozoliņš of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that "This could very well destroy foreign relations between Finland and Livonia." When pressed further on her analysis of the situation, she explained "...Livonia's foreign policy does not allow for it to align itself or support states that break international law and invade other countries. And while this would maybe just get some comments and a freezing of foreign relations with a country that is across the world, Finland directly borders Livonia. So one can imagine the concern that we have when our neighbors go around invading countries over false accusations, and it is also why I would argue foreign relations are ruined for, at the very least, a year if not longer."

When asked about possible UN action, the Livonian Ambassador to the United Nations, Doctor Pēteris Liepiņš, stated that "The Livonian Government is already working on a statement to give at the UN if they (Finland) don't give into the community's demands."

The response, which has garnered much support for the ruling party (the National Democratic Party), has also been met with much criticism, particularly in its timing. Many critics claim that the response should've been immediate and that the government should've voiced support for the Kingdom of Norr during the initial confrontation over the Finno-Urgic minorities, with others stating that the Prime Minister should've made a direct statement instead of just the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Edit: On the 26th, the Ministry of State said that the Grand Duchess will make a statement about the issue the following day.

FOREIGN MINISTRY EXTENDS HAND OF FRIENDSHIP TO LIVONIA

[list][sup]A DESPERATE DEFENSE

FINLAND—AUTUMN 2025[/sup][/list]

The Finnish occupation of Finnmark has been nearly impossible for the Karvonen administration to justify internationally. With condemnations arriving from Germany and Livonia, the tide of international opinion was quickly turning against Finland. "We have saved our subjugated cousins," Karvonen responded plainly in a press conference at the end of October. "Our methods had to be forceful, unfortunately," he continued, "because all other means of helping the disadvantaged had been exhausted." Desperate to save face internationally, the Finnish Foreign Ministry—still mostly made up of a mixture of political officials outside of Karvonen's Finns Party—issued an official apology for the methods used in the incursion but maintained, so as to not cross the President's words, that "force was the only thing to which Norr would ever listen." Particularly concerned about Finnish relations with Livonia—a neighbor state by Finland's Estonian dependency—the Foreign Ministry organized a goodwill initiative with other organs in the Finnish government, aiming to cut Finnish troops in Estonia in half, propose a curtailing of trade barriers, and offering an elaborate state visit for senior members of the Livonian government.

"Our liberation was never meant to cost us any part of our policy of goodwill, trust, and honesty on the international stage," a publication of the Foreign Ministry said. "The Republic of Finland appreciates the international commitment to peace, but questions whether foreign opinions on the current dispute between Finland and Norr have been warped by Norse media reports."

Poland condemns said request for friendship as Livonia is a NATO member and may fall victim to future attacks by the new ultranationalist Finno-Urgic nation. Poland urges Livonia to not accept said request and to instead, rely on the strong NATO bonds.

________________________________________________________________________

[list]FIA LAUNCHES NEW CONTRACTS, POSSIBLE RETURN OF NUSANTARAN GRAND PRIX

[sub]26 October, 2025 | RaceNews.net[/sub][/list]

PARIS — The "Formula One" World Championship, officially the FIA World Championship, is, and has been for a long time, an International Sport. However, many critics and fans alike have pointed out that the World Championship doesn't touch all corners of the world. While Europe, North America, Asia, South America, and Australia have Grands Prix, Southeast Asia and Africa lack any Grands Prix, with Africa lacking a Grade 1 circuit altogether.

This, combined with repeat races on the calendar, primarily in the USAN, Benelux, and the United States, has lead to the FIA requesting contracts for both new and old circuits;

NEW CIRCUITS

[list][*] Marina Bay Street Circuit, Erarwati (Proposed 4 Season Contract)

[*] Masaryk Circuit (Brno), Czech Republic (Proposed 1 Season Contract)*

[*] Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit, The Confederate Prussian Empire (Proposed Indefinite Contract)*

[*] Autódromo Oscar y Juan Gálvez, Nevbrejnovitz (Proposed 2 Season Contract)*

[*] Korea International Circuit, Rutannia (Proposed 4 Season Contract)

[*] Istanbul Park, Ranponian (Proposed 2 Season Contract)[/list]

RECURRING CONTRACTS

[list][*] Albert Park Circuit, Vancouver Straits (+2 Season Extension)

[*] Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps (preferred) OR Circuit Zandvoort, Nonador (+4 Season Extension for Spa, +1 Season Extension for Zandvoort)

[*] Monza Circuit, Pontianus (+1 Season Extension)

[*] Suzuka International Racing Course, Philanialle (+3 Season Extension)[/list]

* Must be brought up to Grade 1 track specifications to be accepted.

This, unfortunately, has also lead to some circuits being dropped, with the Circuit of the Americas, Bahrain International Circuit, and potentially even Circuit Zandvoort making their last appearances either in 2025 or on the 2026 calendar. Several Formula One teams have expressed concerns about making the calendar even more compact, as it'd mean a shorter pre-season testing or no summer break for the teams.

The FIA has also tossed around the idea of sponsoring F1 track construction around the globe, however it was eventually dropped due to the abundance of Grade 1 circuits world wide, with the FIA only willing to fund upgrading specified tracks to Grade 1 Track Specifications to host Formula One races.

| PRE-SHOW | Anastasia sat at her 'office', which was simply an office room in the palace, with various men and women of the Grand Duchess's entourage gathered around her to prepare her for the address. As the dressers made sure her clothes and accessories looked correct, one of Anastasia's close staff members rehearsed the upcoming address.

After a few minutes, the team of staff members dispersed, moving behind the camera the government TV crew had set up. The coordinator counted down before the Camera started.

| ADDRESS | The address started with Anastasia I sitting at her desk in front of the flags of Livonia and the states of Lithuania and Latvia in a white dress. After a moment of silence, Anastasia spoke directly to the camera.

"I come to people of Livonia during a time a great turmoil in Northern Europe. The Finnish Republic has violating international law, and has the gall to claim they are justified in invading another member of our peaceful region. Time and again, Finland has proven that they cannot be trusted with their neighbors, first with Estonia and now with Norr. Regardless of their intentions, Finland is showing unwarranted aggression towards her neighbors and Livonia won't stand for it. And I am appalled and disgusted by the fact that Karvonen thinks Livonia will align itself with an aggressive and warmongering state. We will be turning down such a proposition, both due to our foreign policy and our allies' counsel. Instead, we will be taking this issue directly to the floor on the General Assembly, as Karvonen insists on not listening to the advise and demands of his neighbors. It is my hope that he listens to the UNGA instead of provoking a conflict."

The broadcast then ended, with many Livonian broadcasting channels continuing onto their other scheduled programs.

| Following the document being sent to the UNSC, the Ministry of Defense and Ministry of Foreign Affairs discretely requested military assistance from its NATO neighbors, particularly Poland, as it did not believe it would be able to keep its borders secure against a possible Finnish incursion. This was accompanied with the mobilization of the 2nd Pierīga Mechanized Infantry Battalion to defensive positions on the Estonian-Livonian border as well as the 1st Kaunas Mechanized Infantry Battalion.

The Livonian's coastal defense forces have also been put on heightened alert, however all units were ordered to hold fire unless fired upon, with 5 Skrunda-class Patrol Boats and 4 Flyvefisken-class Patrol Vessels being deployed along the Livonian coast.

Despite the massive amounts of movement, the Livonian Defense Force didn't seem to be looking for a fight, with their defensive positions being characterized by the laid back posture of the garrison and generally casual atmosphere despite the situation. All around, it just seemed like Livonia was either posturing or preparing for the worst.[/list]

KARVONEN DISMAYED BY "LIVONIAN AGGRESSION", SUGGESTS DEFENSIVE MEASURES

[list][sup]AN OBSTINATE NEIGHBOR

FINLAND—AUTUMN 2025[/sup][/list]

"Livonia has seen the hand of Finnish friendship, spat upon it and carved it off with steel, rattling their sabers and hurling their warships around," Alvi Karvonen said bitterly. The 55-year-old author and President of Finland—famous for his books on the Finnish native faith, increasingly known for his nationalistic rhetoric and now notorious for an occupation of Norse territory that was becoming difficult to justify—seemed genuinely disappointed. He sat at an ornate wooden desk inlaid with gilded patterns, looking pleadingly into a camera. "Where we offered disarmament, they sent their troops. Where we offered détente, they bared their teeth. While just a week ago we were prepared to cut down troop numbers in Estonia, we are now being compelled to further secure our borders against the encroaching threat of a nation we once thought friendly. We still extend our olive branch of friendship, if ever our Baltic neighbors should want to see peace instead of the warmongering on which they currently insist." The video, published to the website of the Presidency, was six minutes in length. "Our government is now being forced to consider what we must do in the event of a Livonian attack from the south, if they so intend to aggressively oppose our defense of minorities," he continued. "Our bloodless operation," he went on, an almost wistful tone to his voice, "meant only to ensure the safety of our northern cousins, is met with guns and warships. Sad though it may be, we must stay the hand of our aggressors with our own defenses. I am currently working with the Armed Forces of Finland and our ever-spirited Parliament to ensure that more servicemen may be at the ready to meet the rising tide of hatred if we must." He carried on for many minutes longer, questioning why Livonia only saw the dispute from the Norse side—a fact, he earnestly suggested, was just because Norr was the larger nation between Finland and it.

This video was one of many put out regularly by Karvonen to create a spirit of intimacy with the politically-active Finnish public. Each significant action taken by his government was chronicled and justified by Karvonen on film—the author in him emerged as he bent truths to the current of his own mind and infused proud, sometimes mystic sentiments to push his messages forward. His latest videos portrayed Finland as a righteous savior hoping to protect innocent people, savaged by the cold Norse and hateful Livonians. "Russia, admirably, sought to see both sides," one recent tape claimed. "We see in them," Karvonen surprisingly admitted, "a former foe, but a current power that we respect for their unbiased view of the matter. What did Livonia and Poland do? Poland condemned Finno-Baltic friendship itself, and Livonia rejected the idea of Baltic peace entirely." Finnish media, which has enjoyed a warm relationship with the government in modern times, has done little to combat any mistruths spouted by Karvonen. Karvonen's truth became Finland's truth, and Karvonen's will became Finland's. Understanding that the President could call for a new parliamentary election at once and surely see much of his opposition out, many legislators have fallen in line with the President's policies. What was once a wave of conservatism in Finland has spilled over into a revolution of nationalistic thought, unified behind a man who had entangled the country in a diplomatic mess so severe that it forced internal unity. Nonetheless, the most frightening parts of Karvonen's videos were not their implications for Finland, but that the man behind the desk in all of them seemed to believe every word he said with the whole of his heart.

Karvonen's promises in the aforementioned video were, thus, far from empty. Recruitment for the Finnish Armed Forces had soared, and a frenzy of new contracts with domestic arms manufacturers were in the process of being organized. Nearly the full budget of the Committee for Cultural Survival was bled dry to fund new military initiatives, justifying the use of donated or granted money by that it would "ensure the very literal survival of Finno-Ugric culture, currently assailed on all sides."

REGULATION 204/2025 of the 15th October 2025 - On the introduction of the carbon neutrality principle (European Green Pack II - EGP II)

(1) The Council has, in its Meeting of 11 December 2024 entitled ‘The European Green Package 2', set out a new growth strategy that aims to transform the Union into a fair and prosperous society, with a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy, where there are no net emissions of greenhouse gases in 2050 and where economic growth is decoupled from resource use. It also aims to protect, conserve and enhance the Union's natural capital, and protect the health and well-being of citizens from environment-related risks and impacts. At the same time, this transition must be just and inclusive, leaving no one behind.

(2) The Union’s and the Member States’ climate action aims to protect people and the planet, welfare, prosperity, health, food systems, the integrity of eco-systems and biodiversity against the threat of climate change, in the context of the 2030 agenda for sustainable development and in pursuit of the objectives of the Paris Agreement, and to maximize prosperity within the planetary boundaries and to increase resilience and reduce vulnerability of society to climate change.

(3) Achieving climate neutrality should require a contribution from all economic sectors. In light of the importance of energy production and consumption on greenhouse gas emissions, the transition to a sustainable, affordable and secure energy system relying on a well-functioning internal energy market is essential. The digital transformation, technological innovation, and research and development are also important drivers for achieving the climate-neutrality objective. Article 1 Subject matter and scope This Regulation establishes a framework for the irreversible and gradual reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and enhancement of removals by natural or other sinks in the Union.

Article 2

Climate-neutrality objective

1.Union-wide emissions and removals of greenhouse gases regulated in Union law shall be balanced at the latest by 2050, thus reducing emissions to net zero by that date.

2.The relevant Union institutions and the Member States shall take the necessary measures at Union and national level respectively, to enable the collective achievement of the climate-neutrality objective set out in paragraph 1, taking into account the importance of promoting fairness and solidarity among Member States.

(…)

Article 12

Member States shall follow the principle that for every carbon increase, a equivalent for decrease of carbon emissions must be taken

(…)

Article 20

The Commission reports on the respect of this principle and takes proceedings when necessary

LA PLATA SUPPORTS THE NÖRR KINGDOM AND CONDEMNS FINLAND FOR ITS BLATANT AGGRESSION ON A NATO MEMBER

[list][list]October 2025[/list]

The Foreign Office of La Plata issued an official condemnation to the government of Finland for its illicit military actions and annexation of the Nörr’s sovereign and internationally recognized territory. Finland is urged to retreat its military forces from the occupied region and to seek diplomatic talks in order to restore peace and stability in the region.

The Nörr Kingdom receives all the support of La Plata, as a NATO brother being unjustly attacked by a neighbour. The national territory and sovereignty is a sacred tenet of International Law and staying inactive against this act of aggression would put a dangerous precedent in the future. The Nörr Kingdom has all the rights to invoke the Article 5 of NATO and La Plata is ready to answer positively and fullfill its NATO obligations.

La Plata joins its voice to Germany, Poland and Livonia in condemning Finland and preparing the potential retaliatory actions if diplomacy fails. Platino troops stationed in Ramstein (10,000 troops), Germany, and in Poland (5,000 troops) are told to be ready for deployment and troops back in La Plata are readied for a potential emergency deployment in the European Theater. La Plata supports the de facto leadership of Germany in this situation as it’s the loudest and strongest EU and NATO voice to condemn the situation in Scandinavia. The recent leadership of Germany in the Greco-Yugoslav conflict has proven the German proficiency and solid leadership in those situations.

Finally, the Russian Federation is urged to not engage in military deployments or actions against either Finland or the Nörr Kingdom as it would fatally lead to an escalation of violence and a potential NATO-Russian confrontation that would prove to be deadly and destructive for both sides.

TWITTER FEED — @presidentstarris

[list][list][list][pre]The current crisis in Scandinavia, with the Nörr Kingdom having its northern plateau annexed forcefully by Finland, is really worrying. With the increase of tensions and the uncertainty about the Article 5 being potentially invoked, La Plata stands united with NATO and its partners. An attack on one member is an attack on every members.

THE CHANCELLERY

Bach straße, 10

Berlin

OFFICE OF THE PRIME MINISTER

OF THE NORR KINGDOM Yarosluv

Your Excellency,

By letter, the Ambassador of Germany confirmed the fact that the Finnish State violated the sovereignty of the Norr Kingdom.

This act constitutes an agression which cannot be let without a response. In this, the German Government offers its full support to the Norr Kingdom.

Madam, it is vital that the North Atlantic alliance shows its importance and its usefulness in a situation such as this. It is for this reason that we sincerely ask this Government to invoke article 5.

We have no doubt that the Nordic forces have the strength, the quality and the determination to win this conflict on its own. However, invoking article 5 would act as possible deterrent and means of pressure to possibly push Finland back without a fight. Even if this would not be enough, the entire NATO alliance will act as a moral booster for your forces, a moral break for its enemies, and a clear strong support should the turn of the conflict turn against the Nordic People.

Above else, the German Government has received many letters and declarations of foreign States which have declared their preparation and their readiness to defend the Norr Kingdom. This shows an incredible solidarity among NATO members and even more, between the European Union and NATO. An attack on one of us is an attack against all of us.

Diplomatically yours,

THE CHANCELLOR

President Macron has ordered the French embassy in Helsinki to evacuate effective immediately along with any French citizens working or residing in Finland. The Finnish regime is indeed finished in the eyes of French diplomats in Paris. Finnish diplomats in the embassy in Paris have also been ordered to vacate as the embassy is closed. France vows to support Norway in restoring control over its Northern territories as we condemn the illegal actions of Finland. Sanctions on multiple Finnish officials and companies have been implemented as President Macron has also ordered the French Armed Forces to mobilize units and remain on standby for deployment orders. Helsinki has 48 hours to leave Finnmark or face the full consequences of it's actions. | [/sub]

OFFICE OF THE PRIME MINISTER OF THE REPUBLIC OF QUEBEC | Montréal, Québec[/sub]

[list][list]FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE[/list][/list]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[list][list][pre]Prime Minister Jean-François Roberge is appaled to hear that, shockingly, Finland has

violated the sovereignty of Norr. Mr Roberge also expresses his utmost concern at the rapidly

deteriorating situation in the Nordics and echoes statements made by the respective foreign offices

of La Plata, the French Republic and the Imperial Roman Federation as well as the statement made

recently by His Majesty Haakon VIII. [/pre][/list][/list]

[list][list][pre]Earlier today the Québecois National Assembly convened and the Finnmark issue was raised -

a motion was promptly proposed which condemned the aggression on Norr and reaffirmed Québec's support

for the country, passing unanimously. Mr Roberge also spoke privately with Prime Minister Katrín Jakobsdóttir

of Norr earlier today.[/pre][/list][/list]

[list][list][pre]The Québecois Ambassador to Finland in Helsinki sent a statement to the Finnish government on behalf

of the Québecois Government - official travel advice to Finland has since changed, and all Québecois people living or

working in Finland have been advised to return home to Québec. Furthermore, the Ambassador and his staff have been

evacuated from the embassy over security concerns.[/pre][/list][/list]

[list][list][pre]Likewise, the Finnish Ambassador in Montréal and their staff have been asked to depart the embassy voluntarily

as soon as is practicable, or face official expulsion after 14 days.[/pre][/list][/list]

[list][list][pre]Mr Roberge made the following statement on the matter:[/pre][/list][/list]

[list][list][pre]"What has developed in Finnmark is of grave concern, and Québec reaffirms its support for the Norse Kingdom

and its sovereignty, which the Finnish Republic has disgracefully violated. It is clear that the Finnish

Republic is not willing to commence a diplomatic endeavour to bring an end to this affair before it devolves

into one of chaos and violence. We are entirely supportive of Norr and stand firm in recognition of their

sovereignty and unequivocally condemns the Finnish Republic for their actions. It has been requested that the

Finnish Ambassador and their staff depart the Finnish Mission in Montréal within the next 14 days.

Failing that, the diplomats will be expelled."[/pre][/list][/list]

[list][list][pre]Québec also supports the French Republic's ultimatum that the Finnish Republic remove all of its forces from

Finnmark within 48 hours of the ultimatum being dispatched.[/pre][/list][/list]

[list][list][pre]Additionally, Québec is prepared to support Norr militarily via an execution of the North Atlantic Treaty

Organisation's Article 5 of which Québec is a devoted member. Québec will continue to assess the situation and make

national decisions as well as meeting and conferring with fellow NATO allies.[/pre][/list][/list]

FINANCE MINISTRY AIMS TO REORGANIZE TRADE AS SANCTIONS HIT

[list][sup]A DAGGER IN THE BACK

FINLAND—AUTUMN 2025[/sup][/list]

"This crisis has truly shown us the reasonable powers of the world from the unreasonable," Alvi Karvonen said meditatively, his gaze on something out of sight of the camera. The President had grown increasingly thoughtful in his videos as tide of international contempt had risen to meet Finland. "When our bloodless reorganization of Finnmark took place, not a life was lost. Finno-Ugrians who once watched powerlessly as their language, culture and life was stolen from them could now breathe free. And now, what is the word on everybody's lips?" he asked, eyes returning to the camera. "War," he answered bitterly. "Peoples are liberated without a drop of blood shed, and all France can think of is letting loose their latent hatred in a brash conquest," he declared, shaking his head as he again looked away from the camera. His gaze returned after a beat. "This Finland will withstand the hatred of the outside. They may meet peace and tranquility with hatred and violence, sending their men and ships and planes to murder, but we will not falter," Karvonen promised fervently, eyes piercing. "My government is working closely with the Finance Ministry to reorganize our current trading partners—we will remove the dagger in our back, thrust there by once-friends, and seek new economic partnerships where we had previously neglected to. We look forward to new markets and promising goods from Russia, the Galla, Nusantara, and other powers outside those who have betrayed us so," he affirmed, focus sharper than ever. "Take pride in your sisu!" he declared at last—"Finland will stay above the tide of hatred!"

Accordingly, the Finance Ministry sent diplomatic messages to the embassies of Russia (Victoria Harbor), the Galla (Mesuvia), Nusantara (Erarwati), Turkey (Ranponian), the Arab Union (Asharken), Zaire (Bomoko Zaire), Sudan (Nileia) and any others without trade arrangements with Finland and who have not flagrantly taken the side of Norr in the ongoing Finnmark Crisis. Such nations are invited to negotiate reductions in trade barriers and the creation of new economic partnerships in the face of Finland's loss of trade in the European Union and elsewhere. Desperately hoping to offset the effects of the crisis on trade in the West, the Finance Ministry has become increasingly open to cooperation from any foreign power.

[sup]대조선국[/sup]

KINGDOM OF KOREA[list]

[sup]The Blue House, Seoul[/sup][/list]

| [sub]The Blue House was often considered the heart of Korean democracy, with the National Assembly being the lungs. The Blue House site had existed sine the inception of Joseon in 1392, the modern Blue House that now stands on the site was finished in 1991 during the presidency Roh Tae-woo. The old Palace that once stood on the site was demolished under the last Korean President, Kim Young-sam, now the estate was designated to the Prime Minister following the 1996 Restoration.[/sub] |

| [sub]The Prime Minister, Yi Jung-hee, was up early in his office looking over the global headlines. Europe was once again spiralling into a massive headache for Germany, which in some sense amused him, and saddened him others. Scheffner who he considered to be the defacto leader of Europe had spent most of her time in office sweeping up the mess made by despots, madmen, and any other boogyman that decided Europe or indeed the World was their playground, and with her departure on the horizon he pondered on who would take her political throne so to speak. The Finnmark Crisis was too far-flung to be much concern to him or Korea, but the implications of such a brazen move were indeed wide-reaching. He considers a statement of condemnation to be suffice, for now.[/sub] |

| [sub]Although Korea largely felt it had no need to shore up its defenses against neighbouring China or Russia given the historically peaceful relations between the nations, his Japanese neighbour despite his best efforts still proved to be a pain. He considered Japan the UK of Asia. An Empire past its time and the only who hasn't realised it, and unwilling to adapt to that fact. He was starting to wonder whether the opposition often had a point about Japan, but such an admitance would be political suicide, and his lead over them in polls was giving him too much delight.[/sub] |

| [sub]Many doubted he'd last this long into his premiership, with many seeing him as a vehicle to win an election rather than someone who could be Prime Minister, but a challenge to his leadership had never materialised particularly from his more conservative wing. Meanwhile across the Pacific the slumbering giant that was the United States had showed signs of life once more, particularly under the Biden Administration. The four years in which the world endured the daily insanity from the Trump Administration had severely strained relations, particularly his favourability to the despot Park Geun-hye who'd managed to create military junta for three years. Admittedly three years didn't seem like long, but it would have been longer had his brother not led an underground rebellion to overthrow her. Paramerica's return to the world stage, in a respectable manner, was most welcome. It gave Korea a sense of normalities return. An active united states; Europe trying to give each other black eyes while Germany tried to separate them; and his neighbours that simply couldn't decide who stole the language from who; and who each insisted their music was better. Normality was bliss. Bliss-ish. Bliss-esque.[/sub] |

Amsterwald wrote:FINANCE MINISTRY AIMS TO REORGANIZE TRADE AS SANCTIONS HIT

The Turkish Foreign Ministry has indicated that Turkey would be in favor of decreasing trade barriers between both Turkey and Finland in an effort to increase economic ties, and diversify its portfolio of European trade partners. Included in the discourse was the statement that the Turkish Government officially recognizes Finland as the de facto (not de jure) occupier of Finnmark and thus does not consider its removal from said territory to be necessary, but supports the move of the Biden Administration in promoting discourse between Norr and Finland.

Protests and Cemeteries

2025

Poland

Many eco-activists around Katowice had made their way to the city of Sosnoweic to protest actions done by the coal industry. They made their way to the peat bog, Bory, and the nature preserve, Szopienice-Borki. Together they occupied the parks and chanted displaying signs and banners decrying the coal companies actions, but many of them were careless in their actions and dozens did not attempt to clean up after themselves and more lit effigies and likenesses of the coal companies logos on fire and never attempted to smother them so a small fire broke out in the Szopienice-Borki. Arkadiusz Chęciński mayor of Sosnoweic, initially approved of the demonstrations, but had a close eye on them. Ultimately she had dozens arrested and once the fires were contained those arrested would have to clean up the two parks and provide 250 hrs community service in and around Katowice, as the crimes were high enough to reach that court. Mayor Chęciński would have trees planted to fix any lost trees. Luckily the peat bog did not suffer any damage but would remain closed for a week to assess the surrounding area. The city would not issues any more demonstrative permits for the next year as a result.

Jews who reside in the northern town of Olsztyn requested to the city council to fund a restoration of the cemetery that they had for their loved ones. While the city council did approve of it, they did so with the request that the family members help contribute a small portion of it and to give names and details of their loved ones so that new headstones could be created and placed. Said cemetery would be restored within the next half a year while descendants would provide names, birth years, and death years, along with a short message for the new headstones. The labour to etch the details into the headstones being the only thing the living members would have to foot. Piotr Grzymowicz would be present for the first exhumation. A rabbi and a catholic priest would be on site the entire process to oversee and properly manage all disinterments. The total number of graves that would be reinterred would be 250 and most of the living relatives would travel to Olsztyn to help with the process. Only 10 were residents of the town. Upon completion of the cemetery, the ownership would be handed over to the 10 Jewish residents.

PM Mateusz Moraweicki would begin going over options and would receive word from his Baltic neighbour to the north for assistance with their defence as they shared a common border with Finland, so a smaller detachment would be stationed in Riga for the time being all while obtaining any permissions from the nation itself to stage said troops. The Polish state would also withdraw its statement to Finland about mediation and would focus on the defence of the Nordic Scandinavia. President Duda would grant his blessing to anything the PM would need to do and would recommend to get the reserves performing physical fitness exercises to keep ready.

PHILIPPINES REMAINS NEUTRAL ON THE FINNMARK CRISIS

The Philippines, having had taken note of the recent "Finnmark Crisis", has decided to remain neutral diplomatically and militarily. Such conflict is too geographically distant from our territory to be concerned about.

However, we advise all Filipino diplomatic staff in Finland and the Norse Kingdom to take slightly more precautions. Filipino OFWs/citizens/expats in the two countries can continue their normal activities.

[sub]| 2025 OCTOBER | 0000 YS | Cracks in the Ice: The Countdown | COPENHAGEN | HELSINKI |[/sub]

[list][list][sub]It has been 5 DAYS since Finland invaded Norr. The Prime Minister gives her first thoughts.[/sub][/list][/list]

[list]| The echoing halls of the Folketing had grown more and more rambunctious with the Kingdom of the Norse under heavy, literal fire by the Finnish military and government. With many calling on the Prime Minister to issue a formal declaration of war against Finland and attempt to seize the territory of Finnmark back from the Finnish clutches. Prime Minister Katrín Jakobsdóttir having been, officially, damn near silent on the matter. Her online presence has also seemingly shut down with this craziness ongoing in the world around the Great North. The Press Secretary for the Office of the Prime Minister of Norr recently stated in a public interview that the Prime Minister would be making a formal speech to the Folketing on October 30th, five days after the invasion of Finnmark by Finnish troops. |[/list]

[list]| Clad in a beautiful white dress with a red poppy at her breast, Katrín Jakobsdóttir walked down the steps of the Folketing in Copenhagen preparing to address the parliament. As she walked, she heard nothing but boos and jeers from her political opponents. Loudest among them being MP Marianne Haukland, who recently made headlines with her stunt at the nearly established Northern Border with Finland. Her (Katrín Jakobsdóttir's) political allies did not jeer. Well, most of them did not jeer. Most were instead silently reserved in their chairs, disappointed with her performance as Prime Minister but unwilling to admit that the right-wing was correct in their disdain. Prime Minister Jakobsdóttir did not look on at the angry parliamentarians, she did not look towards her contemporaries for support, nor did she have a look of disgrace on her face. Instead she held firm and walked up to the podium and microphone with conviction in each step and determination brightly shining on her fair face. The microphone was turned on, she placed both her hands on the podium and she waited for the room to quiet down. It did not take long, perhaps 2 minutes. Then the room was silent. Some sniffling here and there but its flu season, so. Then... she spoke. |[/list]

[list][list]|[sub] KATRIN JAKOBSDOTTIR, PRIME MINISTER OF NORR: [/sub]| "Your jeers are heard. Your cries for acknowledgement and your wails for attention and banshee-like screams for action are to be addressed. Your wails, your moans, your groans, are all heard. They are felt... they are felt deeply. They cut my flesh like readied blades and they grace my soul like daggers grace chests. I have taken each piece of advice, I have hoarded every inkling of wisdom granted to me. I've heard the words of people that range from Chancellor to Peasant. Royal to Bishop. Not once was I pleased with a resolution nor inkling that was supplied to me. Those who would have me request that His Majesty declare war, outright, against Finland... they are unwise. Those who would have me call upon the allies of Norr in NATO or otherwise... they are unwise. And those who would otherwise have me lie on my belly and submit to dictators... are the most unwise of all. Thus far, the international world has done what I expected it to. The most reasonable and civilized societies have outright condemned Karvonen for his sadistic and vicious assault on Norse soil that lead to the injury of a policeman and the subjugation of Norse citizens. The most opportunistic and Machiavellian of societies and governments have sat idle by and watched, waiting to play victor with whomever ends up atop the Ice-clad Throne. And the most violent and barbaric have condemned, barred their teeth and played police officer with their soldiers and weapons of war. Enough... enough. I am firm. I am stern. I am Norse. And it is with my firmness that I walk and it is with my sternness that I talk. We will not give in to tyrants. We never have. We will not abuse our allegiances of the past. We never have. We will not lose to the weak and emasculated. We. Never. Have. Right now a letter has been dispatched to His Majesty the King of the Norse requesting that 10,000 army-reserve troops be sent north to Finnmark, where they will meet with Finnish troops and establish a demilitarized zone. I intend to station those troops their until next Spring when hopefully this will all be resolved. I am looking to my Sami and Kven brothers and sisters, I am considering their feelings about all of this. And so, I would ask that a representative of the parliament from the region of Troms og Finnmark (Nord og Svalbard) act as a diplomat to Finland along with the official Ambassador to Finland so that today I might form the Joint-International Committee for the Bettering of Future Fenno-Norse Relations. And request that President Alvi Karvonen send 2 representatives of his own to become the other half of the committee. Our delegations will meet in one of the three following destinations to discuss the ongoing conflict and hopefully reach a peaceful resolution to it. Gdansk, [nation=short]Lemlar[/nation]; Saint Petersburg, [nation=short]Victoria Harbor[/nation]; or Riga, [nation=short]Yugobelka[/nation]. Hopefully, it is with the creation of our joint-international committee that we can come to an understanding and begin the great healing process. The fate of Finnmark will not be determined by who sends more troops to die, it will be determined by who has the strength to listen and discuss. Thank you. And God bless the Norse Kingdom."[/list][/list]

[list]| And... it is with that incredible speech, she walks off, unwilling to hear the parliamentarian discussion that will follow. It was mostly cheers, claps and whistles that were heard... not only in the Folketing but across the nation. |[/list]

[list][list][sub]With the entire globe's attention turned onto the Nordic countries, and with the Prime Minister of Norr's position in Jeopardy, we issue this lookback at her tenure.[/sub][/list][/list]

[list][sub]| Transgender Rights Guaranteed |[/sub][/list]

[list]| Though the Kingdom of Norr has been a global beacon for Transgender Rights since the 1920s, the nation itself has otherwise made very little legislation in the way of issuing furthered rights to trasngendered peoples. That was, until Prime Minister Jakobsdóttir came onto the political scene and near-instantly began paving the path for personal and private Gender Transitioning. As of 2018 December 28 (a date which coincides with the birthdate of famous Danish transgender, Lili Elbe) anyone over the age of 16 can legally change their gender that they were assigned with at birth (on official documentation, for privacy reasons, anyone can choose their assumed gender at any point). And, anyone over the age of 20 can receive gender reassignment surgery without a necessary medical diagnosis (though one is required to expedite the process). Minors between the ages of 6 and 16 need parental approval to change their gender. |[/list]

[list][sub]| Geothermal Iceland |[/sub][/list]

[list]| Hailing from the land of ice and fire herself, Jakobsdóttir knew a fair deal about the geothermal prospects Iceland held. There have been many movements by Green politicians and the like to use Iceland's volcanic geography and idyllic location for environmentally conscious energy creation. Geothermal energy was a real order for the day in the eyes of Jakobsdóttir but she was ever conscious of saving and securing the environmental beauty of her homeland as well. Though geothermal energy plants do wonders for saving the planet and providing heaps of energy to the public, the ugliness of their presence is something worthy of note. Keeping this in mind, Jakobsdóttir went to scientists, engineers, architects and the like to create a more compact and revolutionary geothermal energy plant. One that does not take up heaps of acreage nor created ugly spots on the horizon. These plants, dubbed 'Katrihauses', not dot the landscapes of Iceland and Greenland providing substantial energy supplies to the Norse Kingdom. |[/list]

[list][sub]| Lessened Sovereignty to Svalbard |[/sub][/list]

[list]| For decades, Svalbard, a large (land-wise) yet sparsely populated island in the Arctic Circle, has enjoyed considerable autonomy from the Norse Kingdom. This ended abruptly during Jakobsdóttir's Administration of the Norse Government. With the Svalbard Autonomous Region being joined with Troms og Finnmark. With the new zone being dubbed; Nord og Svalbard. |[/list]

[list][sub]| Establishment of the First Ministry of Greenland |[/sub][/list]

[list]| Greenland had long been under a joint Ministry with Iceland, and was poorly named as the Ministry of Iceland for nearly three hundred years. Prime Minister Jakobsdóttir changed this by separating the ministry into; the Ministry of Iceland and the Ministry of Greenland respectively. This was seen as a huge victory by Greenlandic/Inuit nationalists who praised Jakobsdóttir's commitment to Aboriginals and cultural preservation. |[/list]

Health Scares in Waterparks

The waterpark in Dąbrowa Górnicza had attracted thousands of visitors every month, with families taking their kids there for the day and primary schools sending their students there on a field trip. On a routine day however, one of the main filtration systems failed and many of the bacteria and micro-debris that usually get removed every night did not get filtered out, resulting in many children falling ill and needing hospitalisation. The park was shut down and Police investigated the cause. Mayor Marcin Bazylak got personally involved and had the waterparks leadership summoned. Upon completion of the investigation, it was found that a janitor neglected to replace a filter and was found liable to for the illnesses. The park ultimately covered all costs of the 30 kids hospital bills, but that resulted in it going bankrupt. With the waterpark now out of operation, a much more trustworthy waterpark bought it out and completely revamped it to put safety first and had twice daily filter checks. The waterpark itself will resume operation one year later. A lifeguard was found later to be the first to identify the illness and was thanked by the parents for saving their children's lives. All 30 were able to make a full recovery. News had reached Warsaw, and legislation was passed to more closely regulate waterparks, pools, spas, and any other water based leisure/exercise facilities to ensure that no one got sick any more.

| KINGDOM OF SPAIN |

| GOBIERNO IMPERIAL DE ESPAÑA |

______________

The Kingdom of Spain condemns Finnish invasion of Finnmark but refuses to issue economic sanctions

| The Finnmark Crisis, as it is now widely known worldwide, has shook the peace of Europe and the balance of powers on the continent in a similar fashion to how the Second World War ruptured the global processes in place for decades. The Republic of Finland's newly elected right-wing president marched Finnish troops into the region of Finnmark, encompassing the northernmost area of the mainland Scandinavian landmass. While Yarosluv has been slow to respond militarily to an invasion of her sovereign territory, countries such as Bayern Kahla, Metropolitan Francais and Philanialle have issued strong condemnations of the situation, with the latter going as far as imposing stringent economic sanctions on the Finnish government in Helsinki. However, Spain had yet to issue a response, condemnation, or any official government comment on the situation, so Prime Minister Augustina Torres convened a Cabinet of Ministers meeting at the Moncloa Palace on the 4th of October, 2025. |

| The final results of the Cabinet of Ministers meeting, released during a press conference on the 6th of October, was widely seen as controversial by many and was used by the government opposition, composed of the far-right, who sympathized with the Finns, and the left-wing, who believed that lowering trade barriers with Finland was better than raising trade barriers through the imposing of sanctions. However, amidst all of the opposition, Prime Minister Augustina Torres and her Cabinet stood by their decisions. The formal decisions reached by the Cabinet of Ministers, on the 4th and 5th of October, 2025, are as follows: |

[list][pre]The CABINET OF MINISTERS of the KINGDOM OF SPAIN formally submits for the eyes of the public and the government of Spain the following recommended courses of actions for the ongoing FINNMARK CRISIS, between the REPUBLIC OF FINLAND and the KINGDOM OF NORR.[/pre][/list]

[list][list][pre]1. The Cabinet wholly believes that the surprise aggressive assault by the Republic of Finland on the sovereign territory and people of the Kingdom of Norr is unacceptable. The Cabinet stands by the decisions made by the FRENCH REPUBLIC, the FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY, and the EMPIRE OF JAPAN, in terms of condemnations, and, to a much lesser degree, the imposing of sanctions.[/pre][/list][/list]

[list][list][pre]2. The Cabinet formally requests that the Spanish central government and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs IMMEDIATELY issue a strong and hard condemnation of the Finnish invasion of Norr territory. Within such a condemnation, the principles of self-determination, freedom, and the use of diplomacy during conflict should be outlined and emphasized strongly so as to properly display the stance of the Kingdom on the situation. HOWEVER,[/pre][/list][/list]

[list][list][pre]3. The Cabinet believes that imposing economic sanctions on the Republic of Finland is, while a measure usually undertaken by nations in situations similar to the Finnmark Crisis, against Spain's principles of humanitarianism and hearing the other side out. The imposing of such economic sanctions and an embargo on the Finns will result in not only the damaging of the Finnish economy, but also a reduction of Spanish exports to the Republic of Finland, thus hurting Spanish economic interests.[/pre][/list][/list]

| The above recommendations, submitted by the Council of Ministers to the Spanish Cortes in the evening of the 5th of October, was approved and signed by the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Spain, Augustina Jane Torres. The Prime Minister proposed - and successfully included - a provision in the condemnation of Finnish actions in Finnmark the following statement, which will be echoed as the main Spanish government stance on the situation for days and possibly even weeks to come: |

[list][list][pre]It is in the firm belief of the Kingdom of Spain that a diplomatic - rather than a military - solution be chosen by the involved parties to peacefully conclude the crisis without incurring civilian and military casualties in large numbers. Diplomacy, discussions, and negotiations are the best way to conclude a war of this scale and this closeness to the European continent, which has been known for being prone to conflict. The Kingdom of Spain has ABSOLUTELY NO INTEREST in participating in military operations in the Kingdom of Norr UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. That is why the Kingdom of Spain formally endorses Paramerican President Joseph Biden's call for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict. Spain would be more than willing to host discussions between the involved countries, should such discussions successfully lead to a peaceful resolution of the conflict.[/pre][/list][/list]

BEIRUT WATERFRONT RESIDENTIAL COMPLEX PROJECT

Khaled Al-Asad:"Several years have passed since the Beirut tragedy and yet, We have not seen a single action taken to repair the damages and rebuild Beirut or compensate the families of victims. This nonsense ends now with that pest gone.

Me and the minister of construction and housing have agreed to begin a massive project to rapidly clean-up the ruined port of Beirut and build a sizable residential complex to accommodate the average working family to find a suitable home but we do have to also think of our brave soldiers that defend our borders and allow us to sleep safely in our beds with no fear. Soldiers that are not living in a higher standard of home suitable for his family will be allowed to apply for residence into the complex. We will also begin work on a new pier that will be used as a small entertainment park to provide part time jobs for the youth and fun for the families."

Estimated Completion: 6 months.

LEBANESE PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

A new system will be rolled out within 2 weeks to achieve food security and counteract the still weak but growing economy of Lebanon.

This system only applies to families of at least 3 members or more. Monthly, They will receive food commodities and basics like cooking oil, rice, children's milk (if needed), wheat flour, sugar and potatoes. It is heavily regulated to include a minimum of 100% daily calorie requirement. A parent or the legal guardian of the family will be issued a ration card for this.

Al Asad:"I think it is time we give something back to the people, After being robbed of their livelihood and their honor during Hariri's reign, This is the only the beginning to spark hope for the future that we will lead into together."

FINLAND—AUTUMN 2025[/sup][/list]

"This crisis has truly shown us the reasonable powers of the world from the unreasonable," Alvi Karvonen said meditatively, his gaze on something out of sight of the camera. The President had grown increasingly thoughtful in his videos as tide of international contempt had risen to meet Finland. "When our bloodless reorganization of Finnmark took place, not a life was lost. Finno-Ugrians who once watched powerlessly as their language, culture and life was stolen from them could now breathe free. And now, what is the word on everybody's lips?" he asked, eyes returning to the camera. "War," he answered bitterly. "Peoples are liberated without a drop of blood shed, and all France can think of is letting loose their latent hatred in a brash conquest," he declared, shaking his head as he again looked away from the camera. His gaze returned after a beat. "This Finland will withstand the hatred of the outside. They may meet peace and tranquility with hatred and violence, sending their men and ships and planes to murder, but we will not falter," Karvonen promised fervently, eyes piercing. "My government is working closely with the Finance Ministry to reorganize our current trading partners—we will remove the dagger in our back, thrust there by once-friends, and seek new economic partnerships where we had previously neglected to. We look forward to new markets and promising goods from Russia, the Galla, Nusantara, and other powers outside those who have betrayed us so," he affirmed, focus sharper than ever. "Take pride in your sisu!" he declared at last—"Finland will stay above the tide of hatred!"

Accordingly, the Finance Ministry sent diplomatic messages to the embassies of Russia (Victoria Harbor), the Galla (Mesuvia), Nusantara (Erarwati), Turkey (Ranponian), the Arab Union (Asharken), Zaire (Bomoko Zaire), Sudan (Nileia) and any others without trade arrangements with Finland and who have not flagrantly taken the side of Norr in the ongoing Finnmark Crisis. Such nations are invited to negotiate reductions in trade barriers and the creation of new economic partnerships in the face of Finland's loss of trade in the European Union and elsewhere. Desperately hoping to offset the effects of the crisis on trade in the West, the Finance Ministry has become increasingly open to cooperation from any foreign power.

The dire geopolitical situation Finland finds itself in is wholly recognised by the Russian Federation, as well as Finland's current economic situation, one which threatens overall economic stability in the region. In order to mitigate the impacts of the situation, and combat further deterioration of regional economic conditions, the Russian Federation will similarly explore the feasibility of offering financial assistance to the Finnish state.

We further urge both sides to peacefully maintain the current status quo as to avoid open hostilities. We welcome both representatives of the Norse Kingdom and Finland to Leningrad to begin to draft a solution to the crisis.

FINLAND—AUTUMN 2025[/sup][/list]

"This crisis has truly shown us the reasonable powers of the world from the unreasonable," Alvi Karvonen said meditatively, his gaze on something out of sight of the camera. The President had grown increasingly thoughtful in his videos as tide of international contempt had risen to meet Finland. "When our bloodless reorganization of Finnmark took place, not a life was lost. Finno-Ugrians who once watched powerlessly as their language, culture and life was stolen from them could now breathe free. And now, what is the word on everybody's lips?" he asked, eyes returning to the camera. "War," he answered bitterly. "Peoples are liberated without a drop of blood shed, and all France can think of is letting loose their latent hatred in a brash conquest," he declared, shaking his head as he again looked away from the camera. His gaze returned after a beat. "This Finland will withstand the hatred of the outside. They may meet peace and tranquility with hatred and violence, sending their men and ships and planes to murder, but we will not falter," Karvonen promised fervently, eyes piercing. "My government is working closely with the Finance Ministry to reorganize our current trading partners—we will remove the dagger in our back, thrust there by once-friends, and seek new economic partnerships where we had previously neglected to. We look forward to new markets and promising goods from Russia, the Galla, Nusantara, and other powers outside those who have betrayed us so," he affirmed, focus sharper than ever. "Take pride in your sisu!" he declared at last—"Finland will stay above the tide of hatred!"

Accordingly, the Finance Ministry sent diplomatic messages to the embassies of Russia (Victoria Harbor), the Galla (Mesuvia), Nusantara (Erarwati), Turkey (Ranponian), the Arab Union (Asharken), Zaire (Bomoko Zaire), Sudan (Nileia) and any others without trade arrangements with Finland and who have not flagrantly taken the side of Norr in the ongoing Finnmark Crisis. Such nations are invited to negotiate reductions in trade barriers and the creation of new economic partnerships in the face of Finland's loss of trade in the European Union and elsewhere. Desperately hoping to offset the effects of the crisis on trade in the West, the Finance Ministry has become increasingly open to cooperation from any foreign power.

Gallan Response

The Gallan Foreign Ministry sympathizes with the Finnish economic predicament it is as of now, and welcomes economic trade barrier reductions and partnerships as it is only fair to help our brothers up north. They also expressed their willingness to aid the Finnish negotiate a deal with the newly established Greater Lakes Accord if desired. However, they refused to make a political statement and pick a side in the conflict, stating that it is none of Galla's business to judge, and European political problems should be only be intervened in by Europeans.

[list][sub]• ON THE FINNMARK CRISIS •[/sub][/list]

[sub]| HOUSE OF HARMONY, GAJA PALACE - YOGYAKARTA ୟୋକୟାକାରତ | By the will of the Singhasari Emperor, His Universal Majesty Maharaja Anusapati II of the Imperial House Rajasala, and the Universal Court led by the Mahamantri, Chief Secretary Awarasala, has moved to issue a statement that centers neutrality in the Singhasari Empire of Nusantara's response to the situation between Yarosluv and Amsterwald. Although Singapore will remain host to several Norse and Finnish corporate regional headquarters, the Universal Court believes that such a situation does not merit the intervention of Nusantara nor its opinions. Inter-European conflicts must be handled by the structures and apparatuses legitimate to Europe. His Universal Majesty's Government firmly believes that Nusantaran neutrality is the most effective stance to herald peace between the two nations. Although Nusantara will remain neutral on all affairs concerning Finnmark, it believes that universal compassion and self-determination are the greatest antidotes to suffering. The ability for all peoples to determine their destiny is an inalienable right that has historically been abrogated by imperialist, colonialist, and nationalist powers. Nusantara also supports any effort to advance the national political inclusion of indigenous groups, and that all possible avenues of representation are afforded to all historically marginalized peoples. In response to the Finnish Finance Ministry's statement to the Singhasari embassy in Helsinki, the Universal Court will continue trade as is, with tariffs remaining until the Central Sangha of Foreign Policy deliberates on European tariff reduction in three weeks. In affirmation of its neutrality, the Universal Court will take no steps to change or alter any relations it has to Finland or the Norse Kingdom. Nusantara, its Universal Court, and its people pray for peace and happiness between the two nations in conflict. |[/sub]
