The Japanese Navy is world wide known as a formidable fighting force, with expertise in coastal and overseas operations, somethign that the Roman Navy still lacks. The exchange of expertise between both navies and the logistical efforts for the fleet operation will be a great improvement in the capabilities of the Roman Imperial Navy.

Task force composition:

1x Augustus-class STOBAR Aircraft carrier

1x Romas-class Guided missile cruiser

1x Durand de la Penne-class Air-defence destroyer

2x Bergamini-class Multi-purpose frigates

[list][list]THE DEATH OF THE BROTHERHOOD[/list][/list]

[list]| AL DIMAHSQ — In a monumental speech by Egyptian President Sisi, he has announced that raids in the Sinai peninsula has bore fruit, and the last of the Muslim Brotherhood leadership has been arrested and sentenced to life in prison. This marks the end of a nearly 100 year old Salafist experiment, in the words of Mr. Ibish. This move was even supported by the Grand Imam of Al Azhar, which is considered to be the highest authority in Islam, who has also supported the coup against Former President Morsi. This raises even more comparisons between Nasser and Sisi, as both have worked against the Brotherhood, but today seems to be the end of the organized Muslim Brotherhood. Since its founding in 1928, it has come a long way, but the works of Egyptian leaders have managed to curb the power gain as this would mean the end of secular government. Before in the 20th century, many Arabs and foreigners thought that the Muslim Brotherhood would have complete power over many Arab nations if not all. But now, Arab Nationalism and Egyptian Nationalism will fill the void that Pan Islamism left in society. This may bring up questions of authoritarianism and going against certain ideals, but Sisi has assured the Egyptian public that this is all for the greater good. Thank you for reading.|[/list]

| PRESIDENT AHRANA ZAHANI SUBMITTED FOR PRESIDENCY, NO COUNTER CANDIDTATE SUBMITTED |

| The current President of MECO, Ahrana Zahani, has been submitted by Iran for to be the President for a second term. President Zahani was submitted in late May, with no counter opponents submitted by other member states. However, President Zahani vowed to continue a proper campaign. Over the course of months, she had visited Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey - during it's presence in MECO -, Jordan, Iran and recently Iraq. The campaign was full on, in order to bring forward the achievements and promises of President Zahani for MECO and it's members.

Despite being the only candidate, her re-election is still not that clear as countries may vote against her, which could slow the process of leadership within MECO. President Zahani was the first President of MECO, taking her post in 2016, when the Middle East Cooperation Organisation was successfully created. During that time she has accomplished a lot for MECO, from major economic deals to increasing MECO's trade position in the world. However, many accuse her of bad decision making during the Saudi war, betrayal of Syria and idleness on bigger foreign issues. Nonetheless, many suggest that Zahani has led MECO in the first very tough and shaky years with determination. |

[sub]SGRI President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin Signs New Tax Code into Law; SGRI Set to Become One of Top Competitive Tax Systems in World[/sub]

[sub]SGRI Tax Code Legislation Signed Into Law

AUGUST 2022[/sub]

SGRI President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin from the SGRI Executive Office of the Presidency in the State Kremlin Palace officially signed into law a new comprehensive tax code that is intended to spark internal circulation of money while removing remaining financial institutional shackles of the former USSR. In a desire to push SGRI citizens toward further consumer spending and government revenue increases, the new tax code includes relatively low corporate tax rate at 21% with no double taxation of dividend income, a nearly flat 19% income tax rate, a property tax that only taxes the value of land and not the value of building and structures, and a territorial tax system that exempts 100 percent of foreign profits. The tax code further allows for full expensing of capital investments, meaning that when businesses determines its profit, they are able to account for the full cost of capital investment (plant, equipment, structure, etc.) in the year in which it is incurred. With the assistance of Prince Dmitry Putin, the SGRI will only tax distributed profits and at a 21 percent tax rate. This means that if a business in the SGRI earns $100 and pays that $100 to its shareholders, the business would be required to pay a tax of $21 on the distributed profit. Instead, if that business decides to reinvest that $100, the business would not have to pay tax on that $100. As explained by Prince Dmitry:

[list][pre]"This does not mean that the income goes untaxed. Instead, the profit is potentially taxed at the new 21 percent capital gains rate. If the business reinvests its $100 profit, it is probable that the value of the business would increase and, with it, the value of a shareholders shares. If a shareholder were then to sell their shares, they would face the 21 percent capital gains tax rate."[/pre][/list]

The new SGRI tax code will also provide a 100 percent exemption on all foreign earned income. A historical component of this new tax code is changing the understanding of property tax within SGRI property law. The new law defines the property tax base by only taxing the value of land. This is important because many countries tax both the value of land and any buildings or structures built on top of this information. This, in effect, becomes a tax on capital; if a business builds any new structures or buildings, it will result in a higher property tax bill. Instead, the SGRI’s tax system will now be neutral between land holding and development; furthermore, the SGRI will not levy an estate tax, nor any transfer taxes, wealth taxes, or financial transaction taxes. The goal of this new financial initiative is to correctly define business income and eliminate all the biases against saving investment, which would be a boon to SGRI investment and economic growth.

[sub]Minister of Defense Sergey Shoygu Announces Kremlin Authorization to Increase Production of the "FOAB"[/sub]

[sub]National Defense Management Center Authorizes SGRI MDC to Increase Production of "FOAB" in Balkans & Central Asia

AUGUST 2022[/sub]

Minister of Defense General Sergey Shoygu has announced from the National Defense Management Center in Moscow that the Kremlin has authorized an increase in production of the infamous "Father Of All Bombs", FOAB for short. Each FOAB can detonate with the power of 44 tons' worth of TNT, or with four times the MOAB's yield. (This is more than 1,000 times weaker than the first atomic bomb detonations.) MOABs blow up about six feet above a subterranean target. By not hitting the ground, the bomb avoids wasting energy to form a crater; instead, the energy goes into a powerful shockwave. That shockwave reflects off the ground, recombines with itself at the edges, and forms a doubly powerful "mach stem," which can penetrate deep into the ground, blast through buried structures (like a bunker), and collapse them. Where MOABs mainly try to crush a target, however, FOABs provide a giant one-two-punch of crushing and incinerating.

Unlike the MOAB, the FOAB is a thermobaric weapon, meaning the primary goal is to burn up a target — so it forms a humongous fireball. FOABs accomplish such fiery devastation by surrounding a core of high explosives (which a MOAB is almost entirely made out of) with many tons of fuel. High explosives don't really burn. Instead, they expand very rapidly and generate powerful shockwaves in the process. They're the same materials that surround the core of a nuclear bomb and cause it to implode. Upon detonation in a FOAB, the high explosives rapidly spread out the fuel, helping it burn up as quickly as possible. The explosion can deliver an otherworldy surge of heat to anything within about 1,000 feet and gobbles up most of the oxygen in the blast zone. As General Sergey Shoygu illustrated:

[list][pre]""Everything within that area becomes super-heated to the point that surfaces melt, and the ground takes on an almost moon-like quality. The main destruction is inflicted by an ultrasonic shock wave and an incredibly high temperature. All that is alive merely evaporates. The goal is to achieve the incendiary damage of a nuclear weapon — but without the horrors of long-lived radioactive fallout sprinkling for miles beyond a target."[/pre][/list]

The National Defense Management Center has revealed that the increased production of the FOAB will be an opportunity for the SGRI to increase its strategic capabilities on the battlefield as information technology continues to integrate SGRI Defense Force operations, telecommunications, and procedures to produce a fully functional, united entity for self defense from all threats. The bulk of the increased production will occur in Serbia, Novorossiya, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Russia while R&D for increased technology and modernization has been designated for El Jadida, Montenegro, Kazakhstan, and Belarus.

[sub]King Daeshim and Prime Minister Sim make visit to Busan Naval Base[/sub][/list]

| [sub]Following a series of escalations in tensions surrounding the Sea of Java, in an unusual public outing both King Daeshim and Prime Minister Sim made a joint visit to Korea's largest naval base in Busan. The naval base is the headquaters of the Korean Navy and has recently completed a five year upgrade and renovation, the base can accomodate up to thirty-five vessels of all sizes.[/sub] |

| [sub]The visit to the base was billed as a PR operation combined with a routine royal inspection of the base, the inspection was called four months earlier than originally planned. It comes amid escalating tensions in the Sea of Java. While the King in his address to the troops attempted to avoid the subject he made reference to how the smallest of freudian-slips can cause unintended consequences. Earlier in the day the Korean Government announced the navy would be put into a 'state of alertness', the reasoning given was the military's growing concern over the possible conflict that may arise.[/sub] |

| [sub]Korea has limited any sort of deployment of the military, hoping to limit tensions, with the military making no mention of whether they would intervene should a conflict break out. Some insiders suggest Korea's military would aim to stabalise the region rather than take any explicit sides, acting almost like a peacekeeping force. It comes days after the King claimed that the Indonesian military drills were 'inappropriate and ill-timed' and said that 'Japan's response was expected', while Korea did condemn some of Japan's plans in the region it still supported the aims of rooting out terror from the region.[/sub] |

EU PARLIAMENT CENSORS THE PROPOSED CABINET OVER GENDER DISPARITY !!

Yesterday, the European Parliament censored the proposed EU Cabinet. This decision was motivated by the fact out of 10 members, only 2 were female.

The composition proposed by the Council was widely criticized by feminist groups on social media calling the EU a "land of macho technocrats". The Parliament considered the composition as "not reflecting the gender diversity that should be part of the composition of the Council".

Other political groups declared that this censorship was "motivated purely by feminist politics".

The Council will meet again to revise its paper before finally announcing the new Commission, Council Presidents and the Foreign Affairs Officer. Hopefully without another censorship vote.

| IRANIAN MILITARY COMPLEX - SUDAN NEXT PARTNER |

[sub]September, 2022[/sub]

| The Iranian Prime Minister, Shamira Nassfer, after much discussions with her Sudanese counterparts, has struck a lucrative deal for both Iran and Sudan. With much intention and favour, the deal has been passed between the two countries which means a large sell of Iranian equipment to Sudan. Based on MECO treaties, and relationship, the Prime Minister underlined such decisions and deals as extremely important for MECO and the region. "...safety and stability of our counter-members are very important to Iran..." The deal is one that revives the spirit of militarism in Iran, as many experts suggest, a revival seen before in the 1970s.

The deal encompasses Iran selling Sudan equipment worth $6.5 Billion but after major decisions and discussions, the price has been brought down to $3.5 Billion which will be paid over a period of six years. The deal encompasses Sudan gaining the following Iranian technology and equipment.

[list][*]Empress Farah Main Battle Tank Mk-2 ( Updated Version ) in quantity of 35.

[*]Northern Star Multirole Fighter in quantity of 14.

[*]II110 Persian Queen 160-mm Self Propelled Artillery ( Updated Version ) in quantity of 56.

[*]Iranian Multi-Role Fighter Jet ( Monarch ) (Updated Version) in quantity of 25.

[*]BENIN UCAV Drones in quantity of 10.

[*]IRIN Jamaran Destroyers in quantity of 3.

[*]Persian Gulf Destroyers in quantity of 2.

[*]Persian Angel Air Defence System encompassing Persian Angel Missiles, Raad Missiles and Sharp Star Missiles.[/list]

The deal by many experts has been viewed as a revival for Iranian Military Complex on the international stage. For decades, Iranian military technology and equipment, which is in fact rather advanced, has been kept for internal use. However, it seems that with Prime Minister Nassfer, a change of tides has occurred with the IMC becoming a more prominent player on the stage of Iran and in the economics of Iran. What's more important, however, is that the deal has been struck with a MECO counter-part which is sending a very strong signal that Iran will keep up to it's promise of protecting it's members from threats. |

[spoiler="Our technological advances in the fields of military, have to be shared. We must not allow ourselves to be dominated by doubt." - Prime Minister Shamira Nassfer]

LIBYAN JAMAHIRIYA: AN INTRODUCTION

[sub]OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE | TRIPOLI, 2022 [/sub][/list]

[sub]| THE SPLENDID GATE, BAB AL-AZIZIA - باب العزيزية | BROTHERLY LEADER AND GUIDE OF THE REVOLUTION | After the coup d'état on 1 September 1969, in which King Idris I was deposed, Libya was governed by the Revolutionary Command Council (RCC) headed by Gaddafi. On 2 March 1977, after the adoption of the Declaration on the Establishment of the Authority of the People, the RCC was abolished and the supreme power passed into the hands of the General People's Congress. Gaddafi then became Secretary-General of the General People's Congress. On 2 March 1977, Gaddafi renounced all public functions and was designated the "Leader" (Qāʾid) of the Libyan state and was accorded the honorifics "Guide of the First of September Great Revolution of the Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya" or "Brotherly Leader and Guide of the Revolution" in government statements and the official press. Although this title was officially used only from 1979, it is often applied everywhere throughout Gaddafi's 53 year rule. Although Gaddafi has had no official government function from 1979 and is now in his 80s, it is understood that he exercises near-absolute control over the government and the country. | [/sub]

[sub]TRIPOLI FINANCIAL QUARTER | 8 AM - MORNING [/sub][/list]

[sub]| LIBYAN STOCK EXCHANGE, TRIPOLI FINANCIAL QUARTER - WAHRAN وهران | As first economic plenary between the Revolutionary Command Council and the Secretariat of Trade and Finance, with the inclusion of the Revolutionary Commission on State Advancement, Hakkim Sidiqi has elected to submit a new plan to fast track the liberalizing of the Libyan economy. Following the formulation of what has been called the Raman Plan, he expects that the General People's Congress, will ratify the plan. Because Libya has several vested interest groups and organizations (called Movements) within and outside the General People's Committee, they are considered voting blocks in the General People's Congress. The Ramān Plan enunciates the need to liberalize the Libyan economy through a multifaceted approach that will do the following: | [/sub]

[list][sub]• Curb subsidization

• Increasing interest rates by creating natural demand

• Engaging in breaking public sector programs to create competition

• A direct tax code, with a goods-services tax

• Empowering the farmer through:

[list]• teaching new agricultural techniques

• expanding and establishing vocational schools

• National Universities will stay open to encourage enrollment during Monsoon season

• new soil-testing laboratories will be established

• separating the ability to distribute, procure, and store foods[/list]

• Interlinking navigable rivers

• 5F' Formula for the export economy - Farm to fiber; fiber to the factory; factory to fashion; fashion to foreign

• Enticing foreign investment and economic corridors to fast-track investment, giving reduced tariffs and primacy to a specific state[/sub][/list]

FOREIGN POLICY NEWS

[sub]LIBYAN FOREIGN RELATIONS DISPATCH | ROSE ROOMS, BAB AL-AZIZIA - 3 PM[/sub][/list]

[sub]| ROSE ROOMS, BAB AL-AZIZIA - باب العزيزية‎ | Following the sending of the Ramān Plan to the General People's Congress, the Grand Secretariat unilaterally sacked the People's Council on Foreign Policy within the Commissariat of Foreign Relations, replacing the CSSFP with pro-investment Foreign Relations Officers and Department Heads. The shift from isolation towards an open economy with all states has been highlighted by a desire to trade with the East and Europe, with a large disdain for certain Arab states still being held firm. Despite this singular animosity, relations with all nations have been opened. Thus, the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya has elected to send a series of diplomats from Tripoli to the capitals of any nation that takes an interest – hoping to secure positive relations. The Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya has truly entered a new age of global cooperation that seeks to create a better state. On this note, Libya is moving towards securing close relations with nations that border it or are present in the region. Nations like Egypt (Mesuvia), Algeria (Etheinia), Iraq (Iraqi Republicc, Turkey (Lemlar), and Saudi Arabia (Abessinienreich), and more should become strategic partners especially in Libya's lucrative petroleum trade. | [/sub]

RPM makes the parliament bow down to demands

Account from the first page of the Libertatea newspaper, Febuary 5th 2023

By Octavian Acosçu

The New RPM, or Romanian Protection Movement, has started making moves in the parliament. Though they do not represent a majority of the legislators, they have pushed through several laws and resolutions. 1 week ago, RPM ministers officially formalized a request on the behalf of parliament to label the Iron Fists as an official terrorist organization, instead of it's current standing as a criminal one. Also, they passed a resolution which would approve a troop surge up to a whole division instead of the current 3 regiments. Finally, some Pro-RPM legislators attempted to push a resolution that would have troops return from the task force currently in Sweden. Though these troops have not seen much combat, they are considered vital to the united effort to control northern Sweden. In light of this bill, many Pro-Iohannis members of the NL, UMHR, and PSD have preached committing to our allies in Europe and Asia, and continuing to ignore isolationist ideas that the RPM are implying. This recent bill has hurt support for the RPM, put on the whole, they are not doing badly. It is estimated that by polls conducted by this paper, 31% of the population supports the ideas of the RPM, while 45% of citizens hold strong pro-Iohannis views.

From the soldiers to your screen: 4 months in Rabnita, from the soldiers in the city

Transcript of video report given by Angela Coanda to www.Libertatea.ro while reporting on the situation in Rabnita

Angela Coanda: I'm here in Rabnita, specifically in the city's park, which Romanian troops have turned into a forward operating base. This once calm and innocent area, filled with playing children and happy civilians is now a place where soldiers catch a few hours of sleep, or get a quick meal in the only area of this city they can feel is completely safe. After the initial offensive took the center of the city in November, much of the fighting was contained, with IF terrorists centered around the a major police station, the the city's community center, and the all important road and rail bridges over the river in the south of the city. Over 2 moths of fighting, the IFs were pushed out of the center and south of the city, but it was not a total victory. Instead of surrendering against superior arms, they simply melted into the underground and now walk among the general population. Over those first 2 months of fighting, 120 IFs were taken prisoner, 34 were killed, and an estimated 40 were wounded On the military side, 22 soldiers were killed, 30 were wounded, and none take captive by the IF. The police though, who in the first days for the conflict did the majority of the fighting, took losses of around 31 killed, 53 wounded, and 10 captured. finally, it is estimated around 70 civilians have been killed and hundreds have been wounded.

After the fall of the territory of the IFs in the city, a guerilla battle began. IFs use carbombs, snipers, grenade attacks, and ambushed to keep what IF propaganda online has called "control through fear". from that time until now, 20 IFs have reportedly been killed, 15 have been captured, and an unknown amount have been wounded. Police and Romanian soldiers have taken a handful of casualties, but the ones taking the worse beating from this terror campaign have been the civilians. Its estimated 40 people have died in the last 2 months, with 250 being wounded. The majority of these casualties came when IF terrorists bombed Romanian soldiers escorting a column of refugees away from the city.

Now that we have recapped the situation in Rabnita, lets talks to some soldiers on the ground. Here at FOB Culcer, in the park, two soldiers have volunteered to be interviewed

SGT. Emil Andropov: Hello, I'm Emil Andropov, I'm from Constanta, and I'm a Sergeant in the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Dacia Legion.

CPL. Belinda Prezena: Hello, I am Corporal Belinda Preznana, and I'm in the 2nd regiment too.

Angela Coanda: Well, thank you for talking to me, and for sacrificing so much of yourselves here, for all us Romanians.

SGT. Emil Andropov: Well, I'm happy to oblidge, but I haven't sacrificed. Its the men and civilians hit by Fist attacks that have really sacrificed.

CPL. Belinda Prezena: I agree. We haven't been hit, so we have are the lucky ones.

Angela Coanda: Have either of you seen combat, or the enemy?

CPL. Belinda Prezena: Sarcastic laugh We both have, and to your question, theres no way not too. Fists hide among the civilians. You probably drove by one on your way into the base. You can't tell the difference until they they want you to know there terrorists.

SGT. Emil Andropov: Yes. It's only once they pull out a short-barreled AK-47 or a grenade they you know the difference.

Angela Coanda: Wow. So have long have you been stationed here?

SGT. Emil Andropov: The 2nd Regiment was transported to Rabnita 2 days after the beginning of the insurgency. We've been in Moldova patrolling and fighting against the IFs for over a year.

Angela Coanda: You haven't been fighting for a year have you??

CPL. Belinda Prezena: No, we have gone on leave every month or so. They rotate a platoon out of the province for a week, and they return to serve for a month.

Angela Coanda: Well, it's good you can get out of the region. So what are your thoughts on the strategy of the government is using to secure this city?

CPL. Belinda Prezena: Well I don't know wha...

SGT. Emil Andropov: radio static and chatter Yes more radio chatter We'll role out in 10. Beli, lets go, they need to beef up a patrol around the the 2nd ave. I'm sorry Miss Coanda, but we have to go, now.

Angela Coanda: I wish you both luck. now speaking to the listener Well, this has been an initial report on the situation in Rabnita. From Moldova, I'm Angela Coanda.

[sub]Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin Looks North: Declares the Arctic the Final Frontier; Deploys Efforts to Bolster Arctic Icebreaker Fleet & Trans-Arctic Shipping Lanes[/sub]

[sub]AUGUST 2022[/sub]

SGRI President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin has announced that the SGRI will begin a priority focus toward the Arctic Ocean and its growing economic potential for increased maritime trading routes. As the SGRI occupies 53% of the Arctic Ocean, SGRI President Vladimir Putin has expressed that there is no excuse for the SGRI to not be at the forefront of economic development and maritime shipping lanes within the Arctic. With ongoing transformations due to climate change, the Kremlin firmly believes that the opening of the Arctic Ocean is the "final frontier" toward supplanting a global presence and extensive influence through trade lanes and resource extraction/ownership.

With this understanding of the geopolitics of the Arctic, Vladimir Putin has pushed for the creation of nuclear-powered icebreakers and expanded endeavors toward increasing the SGRI's maritime presence in the Arctic Ocean. Through scientific and military observations through the National Defense Management Center and the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, maritime traffic in the Arctic is expected to increase. This includes both transit and destination traffic. Arctic transit navigation passes through the Arctic as an alternative to routes passing through the Panama or Suez Canals, while Arctic destination navigation originates or ends voyages in the Arctic (including resupplying Arctic coastal communities and moving natural resources from the Arctic to global markets). Presently, Arctic vessels require icebreaker escorts, but projections show that as early as the 2030s, unescorted navigation in the Arctic might be possible; by the 2050s, it is probable. The Arctic has four routes: the Northwest Passage (NWP), the Northern Sea Route (NSR), the Transpolar Sea Route (TSR), and the Arctic Bridge. Although vessels have traversed all four routes, the Northwest Passage and Northern Sea Route are likely to become more viable before the other two.

The NWP is a sea route that extends from the Pacific Ocean, over Alaska, through the Canadian archipelago, and then between Canada and Greenland into the Atlantic Ocean. Much of the route runs in Canada’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ). Currently, it is navigable only in summers with icebreaker escorts. Annual shipping distances have nearly tripled between 1990 and 2015, with two-thirds of the growth occurring since 2006.iv In the period 2008-2018, vessels transiting the NWP were mainly adventure craft or cruise ships, and of the 222 complete transits in this period, only eight were hauling commercial cargo. In 2016, the Crystal Serenity, with a capacity of 980 passengers and over 600 crew members, became the largest passenger ship to navigate the Northwest Passage when it completed a voyage from Vancouver to New York. However, the vast majority of traffic on the route is destination, primarily resupplying rural communities, rather than transit shipping that neither originates nor ends along the route. The NSR is a shipping route along the north coast of Russia, extending from the Kara Sea in the west through the Bering Strait in the east. It is a large component of the Northeast Passage, which runs from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. The route lies within Russia’s EEZ. Sections of the route are free of ice for approximately two months per year in the summer. Since 2011, over 220 vessels have traversed the NSR, including cargo, passenger, and fishing ships from Europe, Central America, and Asia. vii Similar to the NWP, more shipping is destination than transit in the NSR. The route has been used for the resupply of remote communities located along the Irtysh, Yenisei, and Lena Rivers. The growth in traffic primarily comes from the export of liquefied natural gas, crude oil, and coal. The exploration of natural resources in Russia’s Arctic has resulted in a five-fold increase in cargo volume since 2014.

Behind the sweeping initiative is a 2022 decree from President Vladimir Putin, demanding that cargo volumes passing through the Arctic reach 80 million tons by 2025, a sharp increase over present levels. The plan itself – which will shape Arctic development for the next 15 years – pushes further than the decree, aiming for 90 million tons of cargo by 2030. Overall, the government foresees building at least 40 new Arctic vessels, including nuclear icebreakers; upgrading four polar region airports; constructing far northern railways and seaports, and initiating a massive exploitation of natural resources from the Arctic’s thawing shores – particularly natural gas, oil and coal. Also critical to Northern Sea Route development are new railway lines. Under the new document, the government will weigh the decision to develop a rail line to Sabetta, the main seaport for the Yamal LNG project by October 2022. Whether to build a railroad between Arkhangelsk on the Arctic coast to Syktyvkar and Perm in central Siberia will be decided in November. By 2024, the government will decide whether to extend the railways west, from Salekhard on the southern Yamal Peninsula to the town of Novy Urengoy in the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Region. Several Arctic airports, likewise, will get major upgrades, and whether the Ob River in northern Siberia will be dredges to accommodate more traffic.

The Murmansk transport hub is also included in the plan, and when complete, will be the largest shipping point in Northern Russia. How much cargo it will send off into the Northern Sea Route isn’t yet clear, but it will mark a new turn in shipping toward the east, instead of via Europe.

Meco Meco wrote:| PRESIDENT AHRANA ZAHANI SUBMITTED FOR PRESIDENCY, NO COUNTER CANDIDTATE SUBMITTED |

| The current President of MECO, Ahrana Zahani, has been submitted by Iran for to be the President for a second term. President Zahani was submitted in late May, with no counter opponents submitted by other member states. However, President Zahani vowed to continue a proper campaign. Over the course of months, she had visited Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey - during it's presence in MECO -, Jordan, Iran and recently Iraq. The campaign was full on, in order to bring forward the achievements and promises of President Zahani for MECO and it's members.

Despite being the only candidate, her re-election is still not that clear as countries may vote against her, which could slow the process of leadership within MECO. President Zahani was the first President of MECO, taking her post in 2016, when the Middle East Cooperation Organisation was successfully created. During that time she has accomplished a lot for MECO, from major economic deals to increasing MECO's trade position in the world. However, many accuse her of bad decision making during the Saudi war, betrayal of Syria and idleness on bigger foreign issues. Nonetheless, many suggest that Zahani has led MECO in the first very tough and shaky years with determination. |

| ANNOUNCEMENT by THE MINISTRY of FOREIGN AFFAIRS of THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC of CHINA |

[sub]| In regards to escalating tensions and joint naval drill [on behalf of Korea and La Plata] - August 12, 2022 |[/sub]

[list][sub]The Necessity of Peace in South China Sea/North Borneo:[/sub]

[list][sub]Since 08 August 2022, an intense diplomatic dispute between Japan and countries in opposition to Japan's imposition of martial law over North Borneo, most notably Indonesia, has erupted. Japan's internal operations against terrorism within its territory has sparked and reinvigorated the dispute between Indonesia and Japan over North Borneo's domestic affairs.[/sub]

[sub]The dispute concerns Japan's methods to establish peace, stability, and an end to terrorism in North Borneo, however the actions of entities and foreign countries outside of North Borneo and the region in Europe and Asia have escalated and completely shifted the primary concerns of this dispute. This has set a dangerous path towards escalation and a conflict, having shifted the focus from the localized dispute over the validity of Japan's operations against terrorism in North Borneo into a strict, non-North Bornean, non-regional, polarized group of for or against Japan countries.[/sub]

[sub]Unwanted, unneeded, and threatening foreign involvement in the strictly North Borneo centered dispute by non-neighboring countries and countries of Europe has thrown the region into a state of tensions, with the now two divisive sides having emerged. The deployment of European naval forces into South China Sea territorial waters is considered as or near an act of war towards the countries of Asia, and significantly reduces the possibility of collective peace and a localized solution to the dispute over the validity of Japan's operations against terrorism in North Borneo.[/sub]

[sub]Understanding the threat of escalation and conflict to China and the entire region and beyond due to this largescale foreign involvement, a very strong and impartial force of peace is necessary. It is to be understood that largescale, non-constructive and one-sided escalation on both of the emerging sides of this dispute have caused the tensions the region now faces. All sides must back down and allow for the dispute to remain localized between the region it concerns; North Borneo.[/sub]

[sub]Foreign Minister of the People's Republic of China, Wang Yi:[/sub]

[sub]"There will be NO conflict in Asia, and NO conflict in North Borneo over the local dispute of the validity of Japan's actions."[/sub]

[/list]

[sub]China-La Plata-Korea Joint Drill For Assertive and Impartial Peace:[/sub]

[list][sub]China believes international cooperation is always the way forward, when it concerns the countries of the world. Despite North Borneo as a localized issue not concerning countries across the world, the intervention of some in the dispute has well upset diplomatic norms and has required different methods to be utilized. China, Korea, and La Plata; understanding the necessity of impartial peace in the South China Sea and North Borneo have recognized this, and will act in unison to assert such peace.[/sub]

[sub]This day of August 12 will mark the beginning of trilateral drills between the countries of China, Korea, and La Plata in the South China Sea and adjacent to the island of Borneo. These drills will last for as long as it takes to assert the goals of peace. China, Korea, and La Plata all recognize and will act to assert that only impartial peace prevails in the face of foreign involvement, and to assert that there will be NO conflict in Asia, and NO conflict in North Borneo over the local dispute of the validity of Japan's actions.[/sub]

[sub]The purpose of the drills are not to show support for any side of this localized dispute, not to force the independent interests of any country, and not to escalate the dispute in any way. The drills are an assertion that impartial peace will prevail, and that conflict, escalation, or any forceful interference and involvement of countries that this local issue does not concern will not be tolerated. China, Korea, and La Plata will not allow for escalation. Both sides of the dispute shall both back down and allow for peace.[/sub][/list]

[sub]Conclusion:[/sub]

[list][sub]The threat of terrorism and separatism within the North Borneo region of Japan is severe, and is recognized as not the matters of countries that seek to violate international norms by the process of involving their own militaries to support a side of a domestic and localized dispute in North Borneo, but only the matters of the region it concerns; North Borneo. The escalation and threat of conflict will halt the progress of peace, stability, and an end to terrorism in North Borneo. North Borneo and its affairs are internal and should not be the grounds of an international conflict. China regrets to witness the unwanted, unneeded, and threatening foreign involvement in the strictly North Borneo centered dispute by non-neighboring countries and countries of Europe that has thrown the region into a state of tensions, with the now two divisive sides having emerged and caused a breakdown of international norms and peace.[/sub]

[sub]China, in cooperation with Korea and La Plata asserts there shall only be impartial peace, and a de-escalation to allow for the dispute to be solved by the only region it concerns; North Borneo. We will act to only allow for impartial peace and for a de-escalation of conflict. All sides must back down and allow for the dispute to remain localized between the region it concerns; North Borneo.[/sub][/list]

[sub]Remarks of President of La Plata, Lionel Mandrake:[/sub]

[list][sub]"This cooperative exercise between China, Korea and La Plata is truly the proof that world cooperation for peace can be achieved through diplomacy, even with seemingly incompatible geopolitical agendas. We believe that a non-issue escalated too rapidly and dangerously with foreign nations outside of the different between Japan and Indonesia meddling in this affair and encouraging the rise of tensions. Foreign powers shouldn’t push for their own interests at the expense of local peace and the destabilisation of a strategic trade route. We heavily denounce the corruption of the North Atlantic Treaty through the gathering of member’s navies in the area despite being beyond the original jurisdiction of the defensive Treaty. Any State or organisation taking either the side of Japan or Indonesia and sending forces here are the true destabilizing forces and the real threat to peace. That’s why we believe our neutral joint action is the true legitimate peacekeeping option until diplomacy resolves the local issue."[/sub][/list]

[sub]Remarks of Foreign Minister of Korea, King Daeshim:[/sub]

[list][sub]""The mission and purpose of these drills are not to ignite further tensions in the region, our mission and purpose is to promote peace and cooperation among nations, particularly those in the Asian theater. Joint action by neutral parties to promote peace in the region is the best way forward in this dispute. The involvement of European nations is of particular grievance to many nations in the area; The display of their military power is something we have seen time and time again over the last few hundred years, and something many nations are fed up with seeing. There will be no conflict in Asia; there will be no conflict in Northern Borneo."[/sub][/list]

[sub]Remarks of Foreign Minister of the People's Republic of China, Wang Yi:[/sub]

[list][sub]"The issue and dispute of what constitutes adequate operations against terrorism in North Borneo shall remain a localized, North Borneo issue. It is not the place of countries scattered across the world to pick a side, make demands, and escalate a tense situation - That behavior only risks escalation into a full-out conflict over a local dispute. Interfering countries of the world must understand it is not there place to pick a side, they must understand it is not there place to escalate or intervene on their side's behalf. There will be NO conflict in Asia, and NO conflict in North Borneo over the local dispute of the validity of Japan's actions."[/sub][/list][/list]
