SUMMARY OF ZAIREÂ’S MODERN HISTORY
PART 1
The Formation of the Republic of Congo:
While the rest of Africa underwent huge independence movements across the colonies during the 50s, so to did the Heart of Africa. However a central proponent of it, Patrice Lumumba died suddenly in prison after he was arrested for inciting violence. With his voice disappearing, the native elites who didnÂ’t really want a rapid independence no longer felt pressured to advocate it.
Instead they attended a conference with Belgium & agreed that Congo should stay in BelgiumÂ’s hands for several more decades to help prepare the colony for independence through construction of schools, the restructuring of the economy to suit an independent state, the completion of key infrastructure projects & the set up of a functioning political system.
[list]It wasnÂ’t until 1980, that Congo was given independence. Due to the new countryÂ’s highly anti-Communist stance in the Cold War, it developed a pro-Paramerican Paramountica & pro-EU policy European Union Eu. The newly formed Parliament held the legislative power. It had two main parties, the Liberal & Conservative Party. Both spent their days debating and rarely agreeing on effective long-term policies. Corruption quickly became rampant as the new government mainly made of natives who were elites in the colonial era, focused on exploitation of mining to enrich themselves and placed more attention on major cities as their centre of power while the rest of the country suffered.
Wealth inequality grew to astounding levels, crime increased in poorer areas and opportunities to climb the social ladder were non-existent. When a financial crisis hit the country in the early 90s, the Parliament opted for massive cuts in government spending including in military wages.[/list]
Within a few weeks the military took over in a coup led by General Mobutu. Upon marching his troops into Parliament & dissolving the government he stated “I am a soldier, not a politician. I seek not power. I seek fairness, peace & stability. These are the values the military is built upon and when I clean up the mess in this country, I will return power to a civilian government that reflects the will of the people. But first a new chapter. What was once Congo, we shall now call Zaire.”
That spelt the end of the Republic of Congo and the beginning of a new chapter...

SUMMARY OF ZAIREÂ’S MODERN HISTORY
PART 2
The Mobutu Era & the Genesis of Zaire:
After dissolving the Parliament and taking power from the extremely unpopular & elitist previous government, General Mobutu created the Council of Justice. This was a small government with specialised talents such as economic experts & political advisors who helped him reform the country in order to help it recover from its financial crisis and restore the faith of the people in a hopeful future.
[list]Mobutu instantly became a national hero and a very revered man. Among the many reforms he brought were regulating the printing of the new currency of Zairean Francs, creating Anti-Corruption Task Squads to raid the properties & audit the accounts of wealthy businessmen and government officials, to regulate the countryÂ’s mining industry so it was more efficient and all exploitation was on the record. Furthermore, he invested in clean hydropower energy and the creation of the Inga Dams, revamped the education system and ensured that all children aged 5-16 had an education that would be subsidised by the government. He also set up initiatives and programs encouraging the trades apprenticeships and aiding small businesses, giving state grants and tax cuts to entrepreneurs.
Mobutu also refused to alienate White Zaireans (the descendants of French, Belgian, Italian & Jewish settlers who arrived during the colonial era), and in fact incorporated them into the Zairean national identity. Propaganda narratives issued to instil unity in Zaireans emphasised White Zaireans as being “among those who built this country from the ground up”.[/list]
The benefit of these reforms to Zaire, were that the countryÂ’s economy stabilised, new businesses sprawled across the growing urban centres, a population boom that had occurred in the 80s saw Zaire have a huge young, skilled labour force for manufacturing cheap goods on the African continent, making it the 2nd largest factory of Africa after South Africa The Confederate Prussian Empire, corruption plummeted and the mining industry was more profitable as a result of more regulation.
It was MobutuÂ’s rule that planted the seeds of a strong sense of common identity in the country.
[list]In 2005, General Mobutu & the Council of Justice stepped down and established a new civilian government for Zaire. 28 parties were selected to be involved in nationwide elections. Each province would elect on a party-based system. The parties with the most votes across the country would win more seats in the new Zairean Congress.[/list]
What resulted was that 70% of the seats went to the Zairean Nationalist Front (ZNF) led by former members of MobutuÂ’s Council of Justice who sought to continue his policies, and 30% of the seats went to the Traditional Revivalist Party (TRP). The TRP were a group of new age thinkers that believed in a Zaire re-discovering its traditional African roots and had a hope of one day creating an advanced Neo-Traditionalist African state.

SUMMARY OF ZAIREÂ’S MODERN HISTORY
PART 3
The Rise of Zairean Pride - Zaire & the Traditionalist Revival Party:
After General Mobutu & his Council of Justice stepped down from power in 2005 after installing a temporary dictatorship in 1994 to help implement reforms that would save the country from the blunders of the previous government, democracy was established. Two parties came out on top. The Zairean Nationalist Front (ZNF) & the Traditional Revivalist Party (TRP).
[list]• ZNF = Former Council of Justice members who sought to continue Mobutu’s policies.
• TRP = New age Zairean thinkers who believed in a Zaire re-discovering its traditional African roots and had a hope of one day creating an advanced Neo-Traditionalist African state.
For decades after that, all the presidents that ruled in 5 year terms would be ZNF party members as the ZNF maintained a majority in Congress. However, in the early 2020s, a social shift in Zairean people occurred.[/list]
Decades of stability, widespread access to education, a relatively stable economy that was growing steadily and an increasingly more capable military, had increased Zairean National Pride in the “Millennials of Zaire”.
[list]While the generations before them had grown up under Belgian colonial rule, especially since the country had opted to receive independence late in 1980, these millennials grew up under Mobutu and his Zairean indoctrination, they also had grown up watching the debates between the ZNF & TRP and began to fall in love with the ideas of the TRP. As Zaire developed, so to did the Zairean view of themselves as a capable people whoÂ’s roots were no longer symbols of non-European primitiveness but something that ought to be respected & re-discovered.
So in the 2025 elections, Jean-Pierre Bemba the head of the TRP began his campaign and his slogan “Tradition Is Not Backwards” became a popular social media hashtag in Zaire. His antics such as wearing a traditional African mask to a meeting with a Zairean Catholic Bishop inside a church, and dressing up as a traditional Chieftain during a press conference, led to him going viral on several occasions due to his eccentricity. Eventually, the TRP unseated the ZNF as the party with the majority of seats in Congress for the first time making Bemba, President of Zaire.
[list]Since then, he has begun making plans to reform the country in a traditionalist manner and emphasise Zairean Pride, without making too many changes to the Mobutist economic policies of the ZNF.[/list]

NEWLY ELECTED PRESIDENT JEAN-PIERRE BEMBA INTERVIEWS WITH ZBC NEWS:
[list][sub]The start of 2025 was a monumental time for Zaire. For the first time, a party other than the Zairean Nationalist Front (ZNF) had won the majority in Congress. The Traditional Revivalist Party (TRP) led by Jean-Pierre Bemba had won with 360 out of 500 seats going to them, making Jean-Pierre Bemba the new president of the Zairean Republic. The TRP had been the biggest opposition party to the ZNF for a long time, often holding only 30% of the vote in previous elections with Zaireans played it safe by voting for a party that had consistently overseen the development of the country over the past two decades.[/sub]
[sub]2020 however brought change to this notion of playing it safe, Jean-Pierre Bemba had done an excellent job at campaigning hard gaining huge attention on social media & television by eccentric antics to highlight his devotion to nationalism & his partyÂ’s willingness to instil Zairean Pride in every citizen. He played on the urban ZaireansÂ’ fear of a potential breakdown in law & order due to ethnic rivalries if nationalism wasnÂ’t the forefront of policy & argued that while ZNF economic policies were good, they did a poor job at ensuring social cohesion at the national level. This won him the election.[/sub]
[sub]Now preparing to go on a huge tour of the country, he was first to be interviewed by the Zairean Broadcasting Company journalist, Paul Ngala:[/sub][/list]
| [sub]Ngala, ZBC[/sub] | Mr President, your campaign to victory was truly one filled with controversy & excitement. Your name has been in the news regularly for 5 years straight. How does it feel to see your efforts pay off?
[list]| [sub]President Bemba[/sub] | It feels good to be in a position to be able to strengthen Zaireans, not with the ideas of foreigners but with the minds of our very own. Zaire needs to rediscover its traditional roots & develop our own philosophies and systems that reflect our people first and foremost.[/list]
| [sub]Ngala, ZBC[/sub] | Okay. But, Mr President… some might say your campaign antics were rather irresponsible if not immature. One not worthy of a president of our great country. For example, in 2024, you walked into a Catholic Church with a traditional wooden African mask knowing that would be unacceptable. You also attended a press conference dressed as a traditional Luba chief in 2023. In 2022, you said any Zairean politician who wouldn’t wear Dashiki was a… I quote “son of a b*tch”. What do you have to say for this?
[list]| [sub]President Bemba[/sub] | ThereÂ’s not a single thing I did over the past few years that I didnÂ’t believe in. This is Zaire not the Vatican, so the Catholic bishops of Zaire whoÂ’s first duty is to their country shouldnt have made such a big deal about the African mask situation. As for the Dashiki incident, I just find it hilarious these ZNF officials call themselves proud Zaireans but dress in Western style suits. DonÂ’t get me wrong, I love Western suits, but they should have no place in the governing institutions of our nation. Rather, our own unique style of dress should be worn.[/list]
| [sub]Ngala, ZBC[/sub] | I see… well how about this, you had a debate with former president Moise Katumbi about how to deal with the poaching issue in our lush rainforests… to which Katumbi said, rehabilitation was the best response. You on the other hand said, I quote “You will have poachers shot dead and then burn their corpses on bonfires for ruthlessly murdering the divine creatures of the Motherland”… this is just brutal, no?
[list]| [sub]President Bemba[/sub] | Ask the poachers if they care about brutality when they kill our majestic Silver Back Gorillas and our Bonobos, Okapis, Elephants, Giraffes & LeopardsÂ… these animals are symbols of our great land and I will ensure their protection, so what if the means is brutal. [/list]
| [sub]Ngala, ZBC[/sub] | Well Mr President what are the main issues you think our country is facing now?
[list]| [sub]President Bemba[/sub] | ZaireÂ’s economy has been doing well for over a decade now, our urban centres are some of the best places in Africa to get an education, start a business or a get access to the internet. But outside of our urban centres, when we unveil the curtain, there is danger, uncertainty & poverty in the rural towns & villages. We have spent so much time developing industry, education and infrastructure in urban centres but have abandoned many more sparsely populated and remote areas to an effective lawlessness. These people there do not get the same opportunity to celebrate the greatness of our beloved Zaire like others do. I will fix that, every Zairean should be given a reason to love the Heart of Africa.[/list]
| [sub]Ngala, ZBC[/sub] | Magnificent Mr President, very moving words. Now there have been some scandals recently, certain companies have been forced to give apologies in recent years for discriminating against White Zaireans and some White Zaireans have expressed feeling left out of the national narrative by the TRPÂ’s talks of return to a more traditional Zaire. What say you to that?
[list]| [sub]President Bemba[/sub] | My father is half French (Metropolitan Francais) & half Italian (Pontianus) and he was Mayor of Boma for 5 years. His parents came to this country as ambitious & poor farmers looking to build a better life for themselves. He grew up with little. During the 60s & 70s he was a massive supporter of racial equality in the Belgian colonial administration. He is just as Zairean as any native Zairean despite his colour.[/list]
| [sub]Ngala, ZBC[/sub] | And soÂ…?
[list]| [sub]President Bemba[/sub] | And so the Zairean Constitution states that if someone belongs to a tribe that existed in the country before 1980, then that tribe is a Zairean tribe. Many White Zaireans have been here since the 1920s, they are a Zairean tribe. They are part of the Zairean Nationalist agenda not an enemy of it. The TRP believes that there is a place for White Zaireans in our agenda as long as their origins as Europeans is insignificant to them & their love is first to Zaire.[/list]
| [sub]Ngala, ZBC[/sub] | Understood. Any final words to the viewers?
[list]| [sub]President Bemba[/sub] | Have the camera zoom in on meÂ…[/list]
| [sub]Ngala, ZBC[/sub] | Cameraman, go aheadÂ
[list]| [sub]President Bemba[/sub] | People of Zaire, people of the world. The Zairean people have woken up over the past few decades. Since our independence from Belgium in 1980, our determination to carve our own legacy in human history grows ever so mighty and we shall descend upon the world around us like a TEMPEST! Vive Zaire! Vive La Patrie! Vive La Republique![/list]

Spain establishes Federal Migration Administration (FMA) to head ten-year path to citizenship and migrant benefits
| The subject of migration has been an issue of division and debate in Spain and the European Union as a whole ever since migration numbers from Africa and the Middle East in particular began rising rapidly, resulting in tens of thousands of refugees moving to Europe, where some nations were overwhelmed by the number of new migrants. Nationalists and the right-wing advocate for the reduction of the amount of migrants entering the country yearly, with strong backing from the socialists and the left-wing. On the other hand, centrists, liberals, and progressives advocate for a drastic increase in the amount of migrants entering the country annually, while progressives usually just advocate for the maintenance of the status quo. These beliefs that divide the political spectrum have ensured that no sufficient actions have been taken by the Spanish government to ensure the security and well-being of migrants living in Spain. Now, following a historic bipartisan vote in the Spanish Cortes, the Kingdom of Spain has established the Federal Migration Administration - or FMA - to facilitate and administer all government responsibilities pertaining to or involving migrants in Spain. |
| The Federal Migration Administration (FMA) is the executive government administration in charge of all responsibilities pertaining to or involving migrants living within the sovereign territories of the Kingdom of Spain. The FMA is led by the Director of the Federal Migration Administration, who holds a seat on the Imperial Advisory Council and the government committee on migration. This position is currently held by Her Royal Highness Letizia Borbón, wife of His Royal Highness Felipe Borbón and mother of Her Royal Majesty Queen Leonor, the Crown of Spain. The Federal Migration Administration will be working closely with the Ministry of the Interior, the Imperial Advisory Council, and the government committee on migration to coordinate and eventually lead government efforts to ensure the security, safety, and well-being of all migrants in the country. The first goals of the FMA, according to Director Borbón, will be to design, establish, and implement a ten-year path to full Spanish citizenship for all migrants in the country and to draft migrant benefit laws for passage through the Spanish Cortes. |
| Within two weeks of the FMA being established, the Administration already released a preliminary draft of a ten-year path to full Spanish citizenship for all migrants in the country. Upon arrival in the Kingdom of Spain and her sovereign territories, a migrant(s) must submit themselves for a full background and security check in order to ensure the migrant(s) has no immediate record of criminal activity. If all checks conducted by the immigration authorities are cleared, the migrant(s) is granted a Spanish migrant access ID, which acts as their drivers license (once they pass their respective tests, of course), their official government ID, and optionally as their main credit/debit card for financial purposes. The migrant access ID (MAID) was designed by the Ministry of Science and Technology to reduce complications for migrants, who previously had to usually carry a flurry of identification documents with them due to their special status, and to streamline the whole process of identification and recording on the government side of things. After five years of consecutive residency in the Kingdom of Spain, a migrant(s) who have a migrant access ID undergo a special interview, another background and security check, and are finally granted a level-two migrant passport and ID, which cannot be used for foreign travel. After this level-two migrant passport and ID is granted, the migrant(s) is allowed to request for a full Spanish citizenship and passport, but only migrants who have an exceptional past record both outside and inside the country are accepted. Finally, after ten years of consecutive residency in the Kingdom of Spain, a migrant(s) will be granted full Spanish citizenship and a Spanish citizen's passport should they meet all the prerequisites, requirements, and the clean record required by the Ministry of Immigration. |
| Secondly, the Federal Migration Administration also released a draft for a migrant benefits bill to be streamlined and passed through the Cortes for voting and approval. Among these benefits include reduced income tax for migrants compared to normal Spanish citizens (although this detail is withheld from migrants to ensure they agree to move onto full citizenship), free basic healthcare and check-ups at public hospitals and clinics, free COVID-19 vaccines as long as government supply allocated for the free vaccine program remains high, and increased social security subsidies for financially struggling migrants (although these subsidies are not permanent). While many actual migrants and liberals in the country have continually praised this draft, nationalists and conservatives - who make up a majority of the Cortes - are staunchly against the draft, stating that it would put a drain on the Spanish economy and mainly the Ministry of Social Security. |
| These pieces of legislation are expected to pass through the Cortes and be approved or denied by the Spanish legislature. Due to the complexity and controversy of migration, it is to be expected that the debates in the Cortes will be long, arduous, and tiring. Some political analysts go as far as to say a deadlock could be established once again, this time along ideological beliefs and ideals rather than party lines, thus crashing the efficacy of Ciudadanos and the People's Party's Conservative Bloc coalition. |

PRESIDENT BEMBA TOURS THE RURAL PROVINCES & REMOTE TOWNS OF THE COUNTRY:
[list]It is a normal occurrence in Zaire that when a President is elected, he “tours the country” to maintain his popularity and build a connection between a leader & his people. However, since the formation of the Zairean Republic, most presidents have only visited the 3 major cities located in the West, North & South of the country. Kinshasa (the capital), Kisangani (north) & Lubumbashi (south). Thus leaving the rest of the nation to watch the tour on TV or book expensive tickets to the venues the President is at.[/list]
So it shocked the country President Bemba cancelled his appearances in the 3 major cities and said his tour would focus on visiting smaller mining towns, rural plantations & farms, frontier military bases, remote villages and lesser visited smaller cities like Mbandaka, Goma & Mbuji Mayi. Many Zaireans took to social media to praise President Bemba, referring to him as a true Mwana Mboka an endearing Lingala title meaning “Child of the Nation”. This title is used for people who display great love for Zaire via feats or achievements.
[list]By setting up his tour this way, the young president of 43 years of age has distinguished himself from the previous presidents of the country who seemed to only display interest in rapidly growing urban centres of the country that were the traditional centers of the countryÂ’s economy and politics. Rather than meeting with award-winning intellectuals from higher education institutions, high-profile celebrities, scientists, high-ranking military officials & local government officials, President Bemba would be meeting farmers, miners, tradesmen, remote villagers & poor labourers who would have never under most circumstances had the chance to meet the President in person.[/list]
The Presidential Tours are often filled with long monotone speeches, conferences & appearances at high profile locations. This will NOT be the case with President Bemba, whoÂ’s charismatic and controversial personality is sure to produce exciting rallying speeches & lots of close interactions with ordinary people.

JCAC Signed With China
March, 2025
_____________
[list]BAGHDAD- Though in its infancy, the Arab Union has the makings of a long-lasting government. It has resolved sectarian and ethnic tensions, unified the national elite, and monopolized legitimate violence in the country. Via its security forces, the Directorate has asserted unlimited power over the nation, ironically to the support of much of the citizenry. But the Directorate came to power by chastising the inaction of past governments. If it is to maintain the popular mandate to govern, it must be proactive in advancing the nation. The groundwork for this has already been laid through the DirectorateÂ’s nationalization program and now further steps have been taken.
Diplomats and leaders gathered in Baghdad this week to sign the Joint Comprehensive Agreement for Cooperation Between The PeopleÂ’s Republic of China and the Arab Union of the Fertile Crescent, referred to as JCAC-AUFC by the Chinese. The agreement strengthens relations between the two states and opens the door for further cooperation down the road.
The main tenant details Chinese investment and partnerships in growing infrastructure and development projects in the Arab Union. Though no specific number has been named, the deals are thought to be valued in the billions. Beijing will directly invest in and work with Arab SOEs to assist in developing commercial centers in urban areas, reconstructing and building new housing developments, and expanding and refurbishing several major airports in the nation. Baghdad will be granted Chinese technical assistance in the development and production of longer-range and more advanced Ballistic Missiles. Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi attended the signing of the agreement and remarked that the Arab Union remains committed to expanding relations both with China but also with all world powers who support the goals of the AUFC.[/list]

[sub]| HELM OF SÈCURITÈ, MINISTÈRE DES FORCES ARMÉES - | As part of the Warfighter FR-2025 exercise between French and Romanian forces, the French Navy has deployed to the Black Sea for the first time in nearly 10 years to conduct the sea portion of a much broader full-scale military exercise involving units from the 70,000 French troops and air force assets stationed in Romania at bases in Bucharest, Constanța, and Chișinău. The exercises are to include land, air, and maritime operations which will see the forces of both France and Romania fully integrated and working in tandem to eliminate hypothetical wartime threats against Romania itself and NATO as a whole. A secured message has been sent to the Kremlin (Victoria Harbor) informing Russia of the planned exercises and increased French naval presence in the Black Sea. The Warfighter exercise is meant to build force cohesion and reiterate France's message that the Vth Republic stands with Romania and the rest of it's NATO allies. It is expected that President Macron will visit the troops in Romania towards the end of the month once the exercise has been completed. | [/sub]

The History Northeasterners:
North east region of Brazil has been treated very badly by both Portugal and Brazilian government by making heavy taxes on the farmers and not investing in the region,making it poor with high unemployment for hundred of years,although the situation in 20th to 21th century has improved,the poverty and crime rates were still too high in that region,northeasterners were used by politcians by fake promises of improvements.Because of all that situation people began organizing separatist movements that grew dramatically over the years.The result was the Brazilian federal government tried to shut these movements down by force and lies and that caused a revolution.Today The Freeland of Northeasterners is a country that is recovering from the revolution,it is led by a right-wing libertarian party.

| The Emperor's birthday — being a national holiday where the gates of the Imperial Palace are open to the public — everyone starts waving the Japanese flag in the courtyard of the Tokyo Imperial Palace in front of the balcony where the Japanese Imperial Family is waving to the public . . . Emperor Naruhito, now 65, would make a brief speech to Japanese citizens present at the ceremony. Below the balcony of the Imperial Palace, citizens said "Banzai" to the Emperor, which means "ten thousand years". |
| Of course, during the Emperor's birthday, the ceremony will be attended by the police, precisely to organize the event — and following the old Japanese tradition, the police also distribute small Japanese flags to the citizens present free of charge. After the ceremony, which lasts about 3 minutes, the citizens start waving their flags and the Imperial Family leaves the balcony of the Imperial Palace. |

| MINISTRY OF DEFENSE |
Taking The Paper Off The Tiger
April, 2025
____________
[list]In an effort to both reduce costs and increase the capability of the ANAF, the Defense Ministry has unveiled several new programs to consolidate weapon systems, professionalize leadership, and expand capability. Broadly, this includes significant shrinking of the Armed Forces, reorienting spending, and establishing new structures for personnel training. Its central goal is to avoid the pitfall of many third-world militaries: boasting massive equipment numbers and personnel counts when in reality the military is bloated, antiquated, ill-maintained, and unprepared for actual combat operations. It also reflects BaghdadÂ’s view that major conflict in the MENA region is unlikely and that more can be done with a more condensed force. The effort is being spearheaded by Vice-Premier and Defense Minister Muhandis.
Currently, the Arab National Armed Forces comprise roughly 700,000 Personnel. This number has been inflated by the annexing of Syria, expansions during the Arab Arms Race, and reserve mobilizations during the Hijri Rebellion. All but 150,000 of these belong to the Army, which consumes the largest majority of military spending. Plans ultimately call for shrinking the ANAF to 450,000 personnel: 350,000 Army, 50,000 Navy, and 50,000 Air Force. This is considered a much more appropriate proportion for the nation, accounting for economy and spending. It will effectively cut the fat from the military, retiring expensive-to-maintain antiquated equipment and their associated personnel, saving money whilst maintaining the militaryÂ’s modern capability and technology.
Many of the soldiers departing service are reservists, returning to normal jobs or their place in the National Police. Recommendations for discharge will be handled at the Brigade level, ensuring the Army retains its best and most experienced personnel. Some will also find new work near their homes with the tribal and ethnic militias that have been empowered by the Directorate. Departing with them will be large amounts of equipment, most of it obsolete Cold War-era weaponry. Much of it will be placed into storage as reserve equipment for wartime, and some will become available on the international market or be donated to allies and partners. This will save on climbing maintenance and salary costs. With the Army slimming down, the new funding will be oriented to both the Air Force and Navy, as well as the burgeoning Strategic Missile Force. New acquisitions for the Air Force will replace aging equipment like its inventory of MiG-23 Floggers. As Baghdad accepts an increasing security role in the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf, it will also seek to continue expanding the Navy with modern equipment and necessary defensive measures.
Additionally, the Defense Ministry will be standing up several new Academies and training facilities. The Abdulrahman Military Academy, constructed in Damascus, will be the premier training academy for aspiring Arab Army officers. Significant construction and hiring funds have been allocated, promising to draw on the experience of Arab officers and foreign veterans and contractors to ensure the best of tactics and doctrine are provided to cadets. The al-Walid Combat Arms College, east of Damascus in the Anti-Lebanon Mountains, will be a new basic training center for Arab recruits from across the country. New Naval and Air Force academies will be constructed in Tartus and Najaf respectively and the Interior Ministry is supposedly eyeing new Police Academies.[/list]

| The foundings of a fledgling nation |
| APRIL 2025 |
in the mist of a dispearingly and seemingly mundane peruvian country starts the establishment of a newer order. Now this is not one made there tyranny oppression and powder, but threw slow and gradual civil change. The once slow and blatantly corrupted democracy of later has been pushed over by the people, the ground work and cement of later days now turned over as a new country emerges from the shadows of both the jungle and a decades old govermental mountain. The people in striving for a better life begin to push and in time Universitatis is established. The government is striped down and simplifed resulting is a small and efficient presidential model. Georgio Lanez a former polictian and short time civil rights worker takes hold after being supported and brought up by the people. While hardly democratic somebody is needed to be put in place in till proper order comes to be. The judical and legislative branches are also soon remodeled and put forth for this new nation.
The small and rather outdated military while in need of work shall hardly be a concern in these uncertain and arduous times. The general focus is to be put on whats in danger. The livelyhood of are dear people. Change like other things is worrisome and for the bettering of the peoples that is simply whats needed.
The economy is reworked and takes a nosedive as the new goverment is put in place, a socialist model is put into order with some allowances of limited capitalist establishment. The new model while projected to help in the long run may provide hurdles for the nation in the economic and political landscape of the world. But even with this Universitatis shall by no means be limited to the realm of absurdity, obscurity and mundanity. In the days ahead it should prove to be a contender in this realm wether that be threw class and order or threw general wellbeing and health and happiness of the population.
Should days be full of strife ahead it is only in hope that we can pull threw those blinds and sail towards a more prosperous future.

-crimes associated to rape or other sexual crimes:life imprisonment
-crimes associated with corruption:prison imprisonment
-the new law makes hard to people who commit theft or other "light crime" get out prison easily,because before of that some criminal would get out of prison one day after commiting the theft
New rehabilitation programs were made to rehabilitate people that commit light crimes and another new program makes criminals of light crimes get some jobs out or inside prison.

CENTROAMERICA DECLARES IT SHALL SEEK CLOSER DEVELOPMENT AND INTEGRATION WITH HISPANIOLA & THE CARIBBEAN
APRIL 2025
The Centroamerican Foreign Office has categorically stated that it seeks to continue its efforts of development in the Centroamerican Sphere, that being the Caribbean which it considers Geographically part of its own region. Historically Centroamerica has done much to invest in the region financially, however still many of the Countries and locations within it remain highly unstable. In the interests of peace, quality of life and stability for all within Central America, the Foreign Office has announced that it shall seek the integration of Central American Countries on an active basis, as the total integration of the Region would bring positive benefits to those within the Region and those outside of it indirectly in the form of decreased mass migration and refugees (in this case refugees from disasters). In such a future of integration, Centroamerica would not only increase infrastructural development across the region but guarantee employment for all Individuals living within it, which currently remains the largest issue within the Caribbean region.
Official plans for the region include a slow and stable integration process in which things such as passports, free trade and a single judiciary shall be trickled into being and thus making accession easier and more accessible. The overall goal is to include every newly acquired individual within the new State, rather than quickly acquiring the land and leaving many out of the system for a considerable amount of time. Further, by slowly integrating other Nations it would allow Centroamerica to better understand their current systems and thus more effectively and more acceptably merge them into the existing Federal structure of the FRCA. Just as with Belize, Regional Democracy would persist in all regions acquired by Centroamerica from this point onwards.
Militarily speaking Centroamerica does not wish to invade said Countries, however with history as a matter of precedent if certain Countries were to implement systems of dictatorship the list of alternatives would shrink to a point where it would remain as the only realistic option.
Ultimately Centroamerica believes that by uniting the region of Central America, which for foreign observers includes the Caribbean, would immensely decrease the amount of foreign aid required to keep the region afloat and maintain its Citizens. Not only this, but it would spread out the financial responsibility of natural and man made disasters among a much larger number of locations within the area and thus decrease the overall strain on the region.

U.S.-MALAYSIA RELATIONS
The United States has had a consular or commercial presence in the area comprising modern- day Malaysia since the 1800Â’s. Following its independence from the United Kingdom, the United States officially established diplomatic relations with Malaysia in 1957. The United States and Malaysia elevated the bilateral relationship to a Comprehensive Partnership in April 2014.
Today, the United States and Malaysia share a diverse and expanding partnership in trade, investment, security, environmental cooperation, and educational and cultural relations. Malaysia has a diverse democracy and is an important partner in U.S. engagement with Southeast Asia. The two countries cooperate closely on security matters, including counterterrorism, maritime domain awareness, and regional stability, and participate frequently in bilateral and multilateral training, exercises, and visits. Economic ties are robust, and there is a long history of people-to-people exchanges.
U.S. Assistance to Malaysia
U.S. assistance to Malaysia focuses on education, exchanges, counterterrorism, non-proliferation, security cooperation, and enhancing transparency, accountability and responsiveness of government. The U.S. Fulbright English Teaching Assistant program in Malaysia is among the largest in the world, helping improve the English language skills of thousands of Malaysian secondary school students. Other exchange programs, such as the Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative (YSEALI), help empower emerging voices in government, civil society and business. There are over 6,000 alumni of Department of State-sponsored exchange programs in Malaysia. Through USAIDÂ’s Office of Transition InitiativesÂ’ Malaysia Reform Initiative, the U.S. Government partners with the Government of Malaysia, civil society, and other interested stakeholders to support a more democratic society including assistance to promote transparency, accountability and freedom of speech.
The United States supports MalaysiaÂ’s counterterrorism efforts through information sharing, capacity building programs for law enforcement and judicial authorities, and assistance to improve immigration security and border controls. The United States also partners with the Malaysian government and civil society organizations on programs and initiatives to counter the spread of violent extremism ideology. Non-proliferation assistance aims at enhancing MalaysiaÂ’s ability to enforce its export control laws to indict shipments and trans-shipments of controlled technology, dual-use commodities, and weapons of mass destruction and related commodities. Security cooperation and training builds capabilities among MalaysiaÂ’s armed forces and coast guard, allowing it to take on an expanded international role including peacekeeping operations.
Bilateral Economic Relations
The United States and Malaysia have a long and successful record of engagement under the bilateral Trade and Investment Framework Agreement (TIFA), as well as at the World Trade Organization, ASEAN, and Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum. Bilateral trade in goods with the United States was $52.2 billion in 2018. Malaysia is the United StatesÂ’ 18th largest trading partner and the third-largest trading partner among the 10 ASEAN members in Southeast Asia, after Singapore and Vietnam. The United States is MalaysiaÂ’s third-largest trading partner, after China and Singapore. Top U.S. exports to Malaysia include machinery, aircraft, agricultural products, optic and medical instruments, and plastics. Top U.S. imports from Malaysia include machinery, optic and medical instruments, rubber, furniture and bedding, and agricultural products. The United States is one of the largest holders of foreign investment stock in Malaysia at approximately $15.1 billion. U.S. foreign direct investment in Malaysia is focused on the manufacturing, banking, and oil and gas sectors. Malaysian foreign direct investment in the United States is led by wholesale trade, professional scientific and technical services, depository institutions and chemical industries.
MalaysiaÂ’s Membership in International Organizations
Malaysia and the United States belong to a number of the same international organizations, including the United Nations, Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum, ASEAN Regional Forum, International Monetary Fund, World Bank, and World Trade Organization. Malaysia and the United States participate in the East Asia Summit.
Bilateral Representation
Principal embassy officials are listed in the DepartmentÂ’s Key Officers List.
Malaysia maintains an embassy in the United States at 3516 International Court NW, Washington, DC 20008, tel. (202) 572-9700.

FERTILITY PROGRAM PROPOSAL NARROWLY PASSES PARLIAMENT
[list][sup]A PRO-BIRTH STRUCTURE TAKES HOLD
FINLAND—SPRING 2025[/sup][/list]
After discussions on the issue of falling fertility in Finland took hold in 2022, various proposals have swum around the Finnish Parliament for a pro-birth government program meant to entice increased birth rates. When the discussion intensified earlier this year, Finland's legislative Committee for the Future drafted and submitted a heavily-revised version of a 2023 pro-birth program proposal to Parliament. With increasing pressure from the public to act in defense of the Finnish demographic future, the proposal narrowly passed the Parliament on the 11th of April, 2025, to cheers from the more conservative quarters of the legislature, who supported the bill on the premise that it would be an alternative to heightened immigration to sustain the Finnish population. The proposal, for which a more detailed implementation and funding plan is currently being drafted by the Finnish Ministry of Social Affairs and Health, outlines monetary and legal incentives for families that have children, including added paid vacation days, discounted public transport costs—in partnership with local governments—and tax credits. Somewhat controversially—and one of two significant reasons why the vote was so narrow—the program only applies to parents of Finnish birth.
The second of the reasons for opposition to the bill was the considerable annual cost of such a program. Recent cultural programs enacted by the Committee for Cultural Survival funded in large part by the Finnish government—though lessened greatly in cost by a surprising degree of public and philanthropic donations—as well as the Finnish peacekeeping mission in the Torne River Valley have nearly exhausted the surplus of Finland's government budget. With talks of increased military expenditure in the wake of the peacekeeping mission now on the table, concerned murmurs have lately arisen about the government's ability to fund further projects without making major budget concessions. President Mykkänen spoke well on the recent measures, though, saying that the Parliament has worked "with impressive cohesion" in working towards "a prouder Finland".

| [sub]The sounds and lights of a city in dusk flooded the park in which a cloaked man walked, SeoulÂ’s hub-bub and vibrancy allowed for a certain amount of anonymity even without the cloak, the vastness of the city and the density of the population meant you were very unlikely to see a stranger twice. The cloak was more of a draw for the handful of people who the cloaked figure walked past.[/sub] |
| [sub]Entering a small alleyway just off the park the cloaked figure would disappear, his presence was not enough to entice anyone to follow, for them that was a god-send. They would lift a drainage cover from its place climbing down the ladder beneath it, sliding the lid back in place. A dimly lit tunnel and a short walk awaited them. Approaching a set of steps theyÂ’d carefully make their way up before reaching a large and heavy wooden door, as the door was slowly cracked open the tunnel would flood with light revealing the figure to Crown Prince Yi Ki-jung, lowering his hood as he stepped into the light. HeÂ’d hear the lowering of a cup onto a table spinning around only to have a large smile appear on his face.[/sub] |[list]

| Overhaul in the Department of Energy |
| April 2025 |
___________________________________________
After some scrupulous thought among the board in the department of energy and after there pressure on the legislative department for the passing of a bill it was decided on vote that a [Environmental Energy Improvement Bill] is needed for the well being of are nations future.
The bill passed this Afternoon details the following concerns that should be delt with in the next five years. 4.5% is the current renewable energy percentage of the state. While a far cry better than former years it is hardly appropriate for this decade. And on top of that many poor families lack connection to the nations power grid. Biomass is still one of the leading fuels to heat impoverished familes homes. This can cause a varity of health illness's.
In the next five years we strive for a large overall first focusing on providing improvished communities with electricity to benifit them in the long run. We also strive for a renewable energies goal of 28%. In turn limitaions and shutdown will be made on are current gas and oil stations that focus on providing Energy to the nations grid. Further regulation's will be made on the burning and cutting of biomass in both urban and rural communities across the state and better integration of retally available electricity will be made to back any loss. And a large scale pushing forth of renewable resources such as Hydropower, Wind and limited solar projects will be made. the current cost over the next few years has projected to be in the range of 3 to 5 billion USD dollars. Over the next 15 years however it is projected to save approximantlly 350 - 850 million dollars in health related illnesses and result in a economic growth of 2-4 billion dollars on top of are current national GDP in the realms of both healthcare and mainly electricity services.
The bills listed measures will come into effect next month and change should become smooth and stable in the coming months.
