[list] OFFICIAL EGYPTIAN STATEMENT ON THE BALKAN CONFLICT [I]![/list][/list][/list]
[list][sub]There is nothing so kingly as kindness. And nothing so royal as truth. 𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐅𝐔𝐀𝐃 [/sub][/list]
| [sub] Over the past several days, I have been in close contact with my national security team to give them direction on how to protect our interests and values in the Mediterranean and Balkans. First, based on the recommendations of our diplomatic, military, and intelligence teams I have decided to deploy several navel vessels within the Royal Egyptian Navy to ensure safe passage of Egyptian trade through the Mediterranean in international waters whilst this war ensues to prevent disruption to the Egyptian economy. Secondly, I would like to ask where the League of Nations is asserting itself for the purpose it was formed for? If it cannot solve regional disputes how is it supposed to prevent another Great War? It does not provide hope for me, and given my aspirations for greater world cooperation it provides much disappointment. Thirdly, the communists in Russia must not be allowed to run riot in Eastern Europe without consequence - what sort of precedent does it set for further expansion of communism throughout the world? Egypt stands firm on the dissaproval of Soviet expansionism. - PRIME MINISTER MOHAMED MAHMOUD PASHA [/sub] |
[list]THE RED TERROR[/list]
| [sub] With the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics invasion of Romania, and the annexation of Moldova, there has never been a greater fear of Communism within the Egyptian Kingdom. King Fuad fears that the USSRs ever growing influence and power will soon succumb the world, with the Middle East a perfect target for the Soviets in the future. After all, the Egyptian monarchy does not wish to end up as the Russian monarchy once did a decade ago, with the rise of the Young Egypt Party and its nationalistic and fascist message its only a matter of time for a communist counter movement to gain traction within Egypt. Soviet success in the Balkans would provide a major ideological boost for Egyptian communists giving them hope that one day Egypt will also have a revolution of its own. However, for now there is no sign of the communists gaining traction with the public vehemently supporting the Kings rule. [/sub] |

[list][list][pre]PALMERAN-FRENCH AGREEMENT MARKS SUBSTANTIAL BOOST IN TRANS-ATLANTIC RELATIONS;[/pre][/list][/list]
[list][sub]| MIRANDA Summer-Spring 1929 around the world can mostly be defined within the frame of War and Intensive diplomatic overtures. From the Far East where tensions continue to rise as the Japanese Empire cracks down on communist, to Persia who has achieved diplomatic success in elevating their standing in the world, to the Mediterranean Sea Basin around which war and strife have reshaped the region once again, just over a decade since the deadliest conflict in modern history ended. Indeed, the legacy of the Great War, as it seems, is not the lasting peace promised at Versailles but a temporary release of centuries-old pressure. In this world, where does Palmera stand? This is the question which led to Palmeras neutrality for much of the Great War until attacks against its shipping forced a declaration of war against the Central Powers. Neutrality, policy makers in Miranda believe is essential to the nations longevity and development avoiding international disputes, and acting as an agent for peace in global affairs. Some say that this is an outgrowth of Palmeras geographic position in the Americas between the economic giant that is the United States, and the vast, transcontinental Union of Brazil. Palmera Paradise, stands at the crossroads of the Americas with diplomatic, economic and even military potential only now being tapped a fact that has granted the nation a unique ability to leverage is resources to yield substantial gains for its worst off citizens.[/sub]
[sub]A Press Release the type-written document which detailed another major diplomatic achievement for the Shaw Chancellery. After months of negotiation, an agreement has been signed laying the foundation for a strong and robust relationship between the Union of Palmera and the French Republic (Metropolitan Francais).[/sub]
[sub]A huge cash injection into the Palmeran Economy from Paris forms the core of the agreement which was attached directly to a Declaration of Friendship between the two states, and Strategic Agreement for the acquisition of defense munitions and equipment. That economic agreement included an investment on part of France to the tune of $20 Million USD (1929) into the Palmeran Oil Industry, and a commitment from France to purchase up to 10% of its oil consumption from the Union. That deal, which outsized that of Japan announced just months ago who would purchase at least 3% of their oil consumption. Together, with the investments of both nations, reinvestment from the national government, and planned formation of PalPetróleo; it is projected that the Union will be placed on the fast track to double its oil production by 1940, strengthening its position as the worlds second largest producer of petroleum.[/sub]
[sub]Strong performance within the Petroleum industry over the last decade has long been understood as a potential trap as more Palmerans vye for positions as employees on one of the nations oil rigs. That this could cause a commercial imbalance a theory which has increasingly moved into the realm of reality with Petroleum exports displacing that of agriculture, textiles, and other industries in Palmeras trade portfolio. To prevent this imbalance, and likewise a dependence on the volatile energy sector the Chancellory has indicated its intentions to launch a campaign to quote Plant Palmera, to preserve the nations capacity as a leading exporter of what foreigners consider Exoric fruits and Coffee. To that end, the French Trade agreement included provisions which would see the French Republic boost their import of Palmeran agricultural goods from fruits to coffee and even animals. This victory for Palmeras farmers represents a door through which the Union can diversify its economy while preserving its position as a leading Petrol producer.[/sub]
[sub]Finally, the French Republic committed to a $10 Million USD (1929) investment into Palmeras tourism industry funds which have ignited excitement from the industries leaders who have begun to submit proposals to receive a portion of the funds.[/sub]
[sub]In all, the chime of champagne glasses and stroke of guitar strings, and pat of dancing feet continue to fill the air across the nation as the Buenospos Good Times continue.[/sub]

The last couple of weeks have been miserable down here too, overcast and windy
Yesterday I had to take a photo for an article I'm writing, which involved two women holding signs out the front of their home - as soon as they walked outside the wind grabbed the signs out of their hands and nearly threw them into the neighbours' backyard...
And La Niña's meant to come again this summer, meaning rain and humidity instead of the nice hot, sunny summers we're known for...

The Pride of Yugoslavia
The war in the balkans showed to the Yugoslavia government that the navy needs an improvement in order to support the Yugoslav Army. Studies have showed that if Yugoslavia had at least one dreadnought or amy other kind of powerful warship, it would make possible the total blockade of the Dacian coast in Thrace, cutting one of their supply routes, as also provide firepower for the forces in the region.
With the studies in hands and the approval of the king, Prince Paul have gathered enough support to convince the Parliament to approve the bought of a new vessel for the Royal Navy. The government have already declared thde new ship will be named KRMJ Jugoslavia in honor of the nation and the people. The Royal Yugoslav Navy have published the specifications for the ship, so foreign shipyards can present their proposes.

Athens, July 1929
FREETHINKERS' PARTY AND PRO-ITALIAN PROTESTS STORMS THE STREETS OF ATHENS: VENIZELOS ADMINISTRATION SEEN AS AGGRESSORS
It was February 1929, the war with the Italians was going strong and morale in the Greek army was high. The Venizelos administration told Greek civilians and newly enlisted troops that the mighty Greek army would win the war and that the will of the Greek army would never break. This was the age where young men would rise and enlist to fight for Greece and were determined to drive through Albania victoriously and defeat the Italians. However fast forward to May With the recent sale of the Thrace to the Danubians, the destruction of the Greek Navy, and the enormous death toll of the Greek Army, Greek civilians, and recruits have lost morale, despite a minor victory in the Albanian front, it just isn't enough to raise morale or convince the Greeks that the war could be won. Greek morale was at an all-time low, and civilians even started to walk up to representatives of the Venizelos Administration and wondering on what's the next move and what they would do about the war.
The losses suffered from the war were enough for one politician, Ioannis Metaxas, to reach his boiling point. Metaxas who is the leader of the Freethinkers' Party has gained traction during the failed April 1929 naval offensive which decimated the Greek Navy. Metaxas' campaign was all about Anti-Venizelos claims, such as Venizelos heavily underestimating Greek Army strength despite Venizelos himself introducing conscription and claiming that it was his fault for not modernizing the army sooner. Considering the number of negative claims on Venizelos, civilians started to join in and say Anti-Venizelos claims.
These "wrongdoings' of the Venizelos administration have caused national protests, and in Late June, a protest of 200,000 people happened in Athens. The people claimed, "Down with Venizelos!" and "Metaxas is our leader" horrified the Venizelos administration who was having a war meeting in the capital at the time. That's when a tank training ground just a few kilometers away from Athens started firing on the civilians, killing 52 and injuring 231 people. This military aggression was the civilians exclaimed erupted further public outcry to topple Venizelos over and replace him with Metaxas who by far was a much more eligible candidate and focused on ending the war with Italy, not making it long term and having thousands more killed like Venizelos.
The mass protest was broken up by troops in the area, threatening to kill all those who stand before them, further causing more chaos. Overall on July 3rd when the protest was over, 156 people had died and 976 were injured, mostly to have been killed by the Greek troops loyal to Venizelos. The protest spread rumors about the Venizelos administration, and further weakened their credibility in Greek politics and handling a nation. Venizelos is still in command, but many say that due to the war and due to the mass protest, the Metaxas administration would win the 1932 election.

AMIDST GREEK UNREST, ITALIAN ROYAL ARMY BREACHES FRONTLINE
July 1929
Amidst the ongoing unrest across Greece, with the offensives conducted by Italy still continuing they saw great success this morning by breaching Greek defensive lines in several sectors across the defensive lines. Most notably a 20km gap has been forged around the Greek City of Kozani with Italian Motorized Forces racing in a south-eastern direction towards the Ocean to cut the Greek defending Forces in two at Volos. These successes were accompanied by Italian landings on the Islands of Kefalonia, Limnos and a preliminary landing at Palaiochora on Crete. From the perspective of the Greeks with their attention now demanding them to look inwards instead of facing the Italians in a united fashion, they appeared as a Fortress crumbling intensely under its own weight. As Italy works to stretch what little organization Greece has left, each additional front and each additional position occupied by Italy provides only more headaches for Greek Commanders and intense problems for their leadership when considering a defensive plan.
Since the previous month an estimated 9,182 Italians and a further 13,451 Greeks had perished in the offensive operations, with the larger number of Greek casualties now attributed to being engaged while withdrawing/retreating to better defensive positions. The lack of motorization within the Greek Army beyond their Armored Divisions was showing as Italy made full use of mountain roads and Valleys to pierce deep into the Greek Homeland. The Italian Air Force, which at the start of the conflict faced a relatively well organized resistance was becoming more and more able of conducting operations above Greek territory almost unopposed. For the Military leadership in Albania, the battle in Greece seems to be in its final stages at the current time.

Im not recognizing this either ran
then we aren't going to recognizing anything you do either.
you literally broke RP law with the sentence "(due to lack of response form Dacia, even though he has been on in the last 17 hours I am going to presume their is no violence in the immediate Borderland)"
Individuals has 10 days to respond to a war RP
that is far to long on this timescale. but whatever.
da law is da law
additionally in general you need your opponent to respond to your movements before you can RP a conclusion, not just pretend like you own the place suddenly and without resistance
fine, ill just keep building up and if he doesn't respond in 10 days I win automatically
You broke rp law not me
A general observation/question about the last timeline and this one:
Why is it that some people's ideas of story-telling and altnernate history seem to solely revolve around either:
a) going to war with others
b) changing one's own government via civil war and not, you know, more gradual processes
and/or
c) Ignoring common-sense
It just seems that people want to have their cake without baking the damned thing first.
We have the entire timeline to work with.
We, quite literally, have time to let things develop.
I mean I get it, this is a political/national rp, war and conflict are a part of that, and no one wants to get bored/lose interest waiting around. But all of this just seems like making content for the sake of making content and/or for the sake of living out some sort of some personal fantasy. Not that that fantasy is a bad thing, mind you, a good imagination and a desired outcome is what ought to drive creativity.
It all just seems to be too unstructured. Even with the sort of self-policing that "recognizing" a post might promise, there's no consistent logic/groundrules. Rather, there's just a bunch of storytellers (good storytellers, mind you) writing in their own vacuums, smashing them together and calling it a timeline... at least until those storytellers lose interest, switch spots and the whole thing comes undone because the replacement has different ideas and interests.
Just a thought. This isn't meant to be directed at anyone specifically.
Edit: This isn't specifically referring to the previous few posts either, those just reminded me of other times this has happened.

FRENCH DREADNOUGHT DEAL TO BOLSTER FINNISH COASTAL ARTILLERY EFFORT
[list][sup]THE WEAPONS OF A LONG-GONE WAR
GREATER FINLANDSUMMER 1929[/sup][/list]
The Russian battleship Imperator Aleksandr III has changed hands several times through its careerit was first a dreadnought of the Russian Empire, then a prize of the German Empire after the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, then a confiscation of the British after the Peace of Compiègne, then a gift to the Russian White Army, and finally a scrap ship of the French after it fled to Bizérte with Wrangel's fleet at the Russian Civil War's end. Long ago seized by French authorities after its docking fees became unpayable by the White Army, it has sat idly in Tunisia. The vessel caught the eye of Finland, however, as the threat of a Second Great War loomed. Woefully underspending on defense during the early 1920s, the Finnish Parliamentoverflowing with proposals from Mannerheim and his Defense Councilhas made a quick turnaround approaching the advent of the 1930s. It has hastily started accepting foreign defense donations, planning widespread defense constructions and establishing foreign military relationships. Among many of the programs put forth by the Finnish Armed Forces was a comprehensive coastal artillery effort to adorn both shores of the Gulf of Finland. Finland needed heavy artillery, and Finland's military authorities made the economical decision to purchase the Aleksandr for its guns and seaworthy scrap metal in the summer of 1939 with Finland's French allies, who cordially obliged in handing the vessel over at a fair price.
The ship's delivery is anticipated by the end of the year, and it will be broken up and its twelve Obukhovskii 12-inch Pattern 1907 52-caliber naval guns and eighteen 5.1-inch B7 Pattern 1913 55-caliber naval guns ready for coastal emplacement by the summer of 1930. By that time Finland's nine 12" ex-Russian barrels left over from the Finnish Civil War will also be prepared for coastal emplacement and will form an equal part in a ring of guns around the Gulf. Able to fire nearly every twenty seconds and boasting a range of eighteen miles, the 12" barrels will contribute greatly to warding off attempts by enemy vessels to approach strategic coastal positions. Though already well-equipped from a Russian Imperial fortification effort along the Finnish coast that brought dozens of similar guns to the shores of Finland between 1905 and 1918, the military authorities of Finland were sparing no options for manageable ways of turning Finland into the living fortress it aspires to be. The effort to fortify the Finnish coast was innately joined with the Finnish hope of steeling the Republic's edges from the Latvian border to the Karelian frontier, and was doubtlessly helping to bring comfort to the nearly five million who call the Greater Finnish Republic home.

ITALY TO INTERVENE IN THE AUSTRIAN CIVIL WAR
July 1929
https://youtu.be/b3kCvRHS4CY
IRL CONTEXT : Italy intervened in the Austrian Civil war in 1934, and was previously engaged to prevent communist, socialist, or national socialist uprisings in its northern Neighbour. Further in 1934, it threatened to invade Germany if it were to attempt to invade Austria, as Italy (with allied approval might i add) considered itself responsible for Austrian independence after having guaranteed its independence and security in 1931
Being faced with the possibility of Austria falling to National Socialist Forces and thus de-facto becoming a pro-German Nation, and at the same time the intense threat of a Socialist/Communist victory leading to the Nation becoming part of the Soviet Sphere, the Italian Government has issued orders for its Armed Forces to intervene in the Country. Italy would not be siding with any of the major sides of the Civil war however, and shall instead be backing the status-quo supporting Fatherland Front (Vaterländische Front) which is at the same time the closest to Italian Fascism in doctrine. Led by the Austrian Engelbert Dollfuss, who at this point was known to be a popular "peasant class leader", as Austria had lost almost all of its Industry in the partitions of the post war period it retained a huge Farming sector to which Dollfuss was considered a heroic figure. This siding with a "Third Bloc" means that Italy will be in direct opposition both to Loyalists and Socialists alike, and will in fact be working towards Regime change in its Neighbor.
Possessing direct land borders with the Communist controlled state of Vorarlberg, including one of the few routes through the Alps running from Italy into said state, Italy has begun to move Troops into that region to combat the newly declared Soviet Republic there.
While the war in Greece wages on it means that Italy cannot currently devote as much manpower to the "Austrian Issue" as it had previously wanted, leaving it currently with 35,000 men in the form of two Alpine Divisions (3rd Alpine Division "Julia" & 4th Alpine Division "Cuneense") to finish the job and achieve the goals of Italy in Austria. With large numbers of Armored Cars and yet no Armored Tanks to speak of their task may yet prove quite difficult, however the veteran status of these Divisions alone carries merit with it. What they do have at their disposal is the Airpower of the mainland Air Corps, which consists mainly of Aircraft that didnt have the correct range to reach Greece from the middle of Italy and thus were kept in reserve, mostly light Bombers and Fighter Aircraft.

[sub] The broadest goals of the newly ratified in May by the 5th Congress of Soviets of the Soviet Union are rapid industrialization and the collectivization of agriculture. Agriculture would be done through the creation of the Kolkhoz and the complete destruction of the Kulak class. Industrialization would come with the help of Millions of proud Soviet Citizens to work on the building of hundreds of factories, power stations, laid railways, and subways in the coming years for the sake of the Unions prosperity. The Dnieper Hydroelectric Station was scheduled to be finished in 1932 alongside metallurgical plants and tractor plants in the cities of Magnitogorsk, Lipetsk, Chelyabinsk, Novokuznetsk, Norilsk, Uralmash, Stalingrad, Kharkov, and Uralvagonzavod. Education would also become an urgent issue to create an engineering base in the Union leading to the creation of seven-year compulsory education for Urban areas of the Union while Rural children would be allowed to focus on helping their families in the communal farms. Transportation would also be a area of importance in the Union with roads, bridges, and railways built across the Union to assist in the coming Mass Industrialization.[/sub]

Some claimed that Spains Coalition For Solidarity was Infested with communist sympathizers if not communists themselves and blasted Azaña as a Snake that would use Siam as a proxy to further Spanish interests in the Far East and theorized that the Spanish willingness to supply military assets to the Siamese Kingdom despite their government's hardline anti-monarchist stance implied ulterior motives other than what Madrid claims is just an attempt to secure relations while displaying vested interest in the Spanish defense industry.[/sub]
[sub]This accusation would be disputed by high ranking members of the Heavenly Siamese Navy and its commander-in-chief Phraya Preechacholayudha who would claim it to be a ploy by sympathizers and members of the Heavenly Thai Army to discourage the purchase of vessels as reprisal for a deal made between the Supreme Council of Siam and the navy that would see Admiral Prince Vudhijaya Chalermlabh ascend to the position of Chief of Joint Operations in exchange for their cooperation during the Bangkok Plot, ending the Armys centuries long hold on the position. Unsurprisingly this was outright denied by Army officials who would criticize their navy counterparts for having possessing fragile egos.[/sub]

FIRST "SISU AUTO" PROTOTYPES ROLL OFF ASSEMBLY LINE
[list][sup]MOTORIZATION: A WORTHWHILE INVESTMENT
GREATER FINLANDSUMMER 1929[/sup][/list]
The Suomen Autoteollisuus firmmeaning "Finnish Automotive Industry" and abbreviated to SATwas established in 1928 from a government-sponsored merger of bus coach and truck cabin builders Autokoritehdas and Autoteollisuus-Bilindustri to stimulate Finland's domestic automotive manufacturing. Hoping to add another link to Finland's production chains, the government aided the merger on the premise that SAT would source most of the car parts from metals mined and refined in Finland. The newly-formed company intended to establish a popular brand that would someday see export abroad and held a contest to change its name in the spring of 1929submissions to the contest yielded three contestants: Sisu (determination), Karhu (bear) and Haukka (hawk). Sisu won out, and the company was rechristened Sisu Auto when the first prototype series of Sisu vehicles rolled off production lines at the company's Hämeenlinna production facility. The series consisted of a bus and eight trucks and attracted widespread excitement in the press given the growing demand of vehicles for construction and lumber work in Finlandproduction is expected to begin fully in 1930 with a capacity of 1,000 trucks and 200 buses (some for export) made annually by 1932. Given the publicity Sisu Auto achieved in the press, a third production line for tractorswhich might be used in the case of war to pull artilleryis thought to be on the table for 1933 or 1934.
Sisu Auto was hardly a monopoly, howeverOy Ford Ab, a locally-based Finnish affiliate company of the American Ford Motor Company, was formed in 1925 to circumvent the Finnish government's restrictions on foreign businesses. At that time, most vehicles sold in Finland were Fords, as the Ford Motor Company had been dealing in Finland for over a decade, and by the summer of 1929 ground was breaking on a Ford manufacturing plant at Hernesaari in Helsinki. An engine plant expected to accompany it will double as a producer of tank and armored vehicle engines, as well, a fact celebrated by General Mannerheim and his clique of supporters of aggressive defense spending. Domestic production of Ford-pattern vehicles is expected to begin by early 1931 and reach a much higher capacity than Sisu Autoit is thought that the company may eventually produce anywhere between 8,000 and 12,000 cars and light trucks per year. A second plant, planned for Tallinn, will add 6,000 to that number soon after its projected completion in 1933. Estonia has, in truth, been a large part of the Finnish government's ability to afford its industrialization program: huge surges in the oil shale industry in Estonia have resulted in soaring government tax revenue there, and in 1922 Finland's Defense Council sold nearly all of the Estonian military's equipment during its merger with Finland's armed forces, keeping only a select few for use. The combined might of Finland and Estonia has been a boon for both countries and enabled industrial pursuits previously thought impossible.
Industrializing is not as simple as finding the money for new factories or companies, however. It requires trained workers, supplies and infrastructure. How can Finland eventually hope to build 20,000 vehicles a year by 1934 without the resources to do so? For each factory that the Finnish economic and financial authorities have sponsored, they have also needed to mastermind the infrastructure to support production. The centuries-old Fiskars company was one of the ways it happened: once a copper mill and then an ironworks in the 1800s, by the turn of the 1900s Fiskars was making enormous amounts of cutlery and tens of thousands of iron toolsespecially plowseach year. With encouragement from the government to return to its metalworking heritage, after the Civil War, Fiskars purchased a bankrupt steel mill in the village of Skuru between Turku and Helsinki. Taking advantage of the mill's strategic position, Fiskars renovated the mill with new furnaces. They began to develop spring-grade steel for the steel coil springs of railway vehicles and the springs necessary for Sisu trucks. Fiskars ventured to make an industrial spring factory in 1925 and continued to focus on buying and developing steel mills and refineriesincluding a previously mentioned one at Imatra intended to hinge on the Imatra hydroelectric damand by 1929 Fiskars had become Finland's chief specialist manufacturer of steel and steel parts as well as a foremost maker of manual tools. One example of Finland's supply infrastructure, Fiskars was another self-rewarding government investment; its operations will not only help to make supplying automotive plants easier, but eventually, the use of vehicles in the Finnish Armed Forces will reduce the financial burden of the use and feeding of horses, and the revenue generated from all of these things will hopefully open up funds for education programs meant to continue to bring workers from the largely agrarian countryside into skilled and unskilled manufacturing jobs as they are replaced with new agricultural tools and machinery.

[sub] Stalin being a man not of Russian descent had begun to occupy his mind with the need to bring more of the ethnicities of the Union into a more centralized Identity in order to fight future nationalism and small occasions of present Nationalism. 100 men and women would be selected to form this small bureau to formalize what is Soviet identity and even to begin working on a Soviet language. Soviet Identitism would be an alternative to ethnic nationalism and promote the idea of an inclusive Soviet society of all ethnic groups that make up the Union. This would mostly be targeted towards Caucasians and Central Asians to bring them closer into Core Soviet society rather than being the fringe of the Union. This would come in waves from getting rid of nationalist antagonists, eliminating undesirable cultural practices from around the USSR. Russian language would be pushed more heavily into non Slavic regions, while research into a constructed Soviet language would begin in the Universities of Moscow.[/sub]

[list]CAIRO, KINGDOM OF EGYPT
[list] REFORMATION OF EGYPTIAN ECONOMY AND SOCIETY [I]![/list][/list][/list]
[list][sub]There is nothing so kingly as kindness. And nothing so royal as truth. KING FUAD [/sub][/list]
| [sub] The greatness of the king came from the way he ruled. He was one who truly listened, with the heart as well as the ears and eyes. He saw the whole person in a way that others did not, as if he alone was somewhere calm while the rest could only attempt to have vision in the fog. The most troubled of souls became calm, those from places far away sought his company and counsel. It was as if everyone had a thirsty soul, and the best we could do was offer one another a sip at our cups, yet he could hold a saltless ocean in the palm of his hand and fill the cups of all. So, though I knew him as a man, I respected him as my king. - FORMER PRIME MINISTER SAAD ZAGHLOUL [/sub] |
| [sub] On the Kings desk lay legislation for him to sign, Egypt had transformed completely since he was a child - and was about to embark on another transformation. Egypt was using its newfound independent powers for the good of the Egyptian people, it had put up with foreign rule for years and the King understood the need to attempt develop and elevate the Egyptian standard of living and create prosperity as an independent state. He has a vision of a powerful and strong Egypt, a benevolent and kind yet stern force in the Middle East - where Cairo lays as the financial capital of the Middle Eastern world in a grand vision - which can be seen as completely idealistic and unpragmatic. Some of the legislation that lays in front of the King to sign off include: [/sub] |
NATIONALISATION OF EGYPTIAN NATURAL GAS AND EXTRACTION SITES
[list][sub] - Establishment of the Royal Egyptian Natural Gas Company
- Nationalisation of the natural gas production within Egypt and the extraction sites
- Natural Gas will be offered to the United Kingdom (Canovia) at a discounted rate as a token of friendship [/sub][/List]
INVESTMENT INTO MODERNISING CAIRO
[list][sub] - Creation of a public Investment Fund for the city of Cairo
- Investment to be spent on improving infrastructure, such as roads, railway, the expansion of Cairo Airport and the local bus service to create an interconnected city and increase accessibility.
- Further investment will be granted into promoting foreign investment, and the establishment of several embassies within Cairo
- An aspiration in the coming decades is for Cairo to become a global interconnected city at the heart of the Middle East. This entails being the financial capital of the Middle East, with a large airport which can be used for connecting flights globally.
- The subsidisation and creation of hotels (in both Cairo and Alexandria) to promote a growing tourism industry - publicly owned travel companies giving tours of the great Pyramids. [/sub][/List]
CONSCRIPTION
[list][sub] - Once a young man turns 16 years of age, he will enlist in the Egyptian Royal Armed Forces for a minimum of 3 months.
- This is to ensure that the youth of Egypt are equipped with practical skills and experience for life and will help them in the search for jobs later on. It serves as a form of work experience.
- No man will be obliged to join the royal armed forces above the age of 18 (as of legislations drafting), if they have completed the necessary minimum conscription term. [/sub][/List]

[sub]Responding to the British pressure on Ireland.[/sub][/list]
LEINSTER HOUSE, KILDARE STREET, DUBLIN, Irelaand MORNING
[sub] Five months had passed since the UK decided to put pressure on Ireland for refusing to submit to their demand, and its starting to affect the nation. The people are beginning to starve and becoming homeless, with the economy is going down with many people are losing their jobs. With the Labour party in power in the UK, many hope that they will end the pressure against Ireland. However, due to political reasons, the new British PM, Ramsay MacDonald, decided to give in to the liberal demands and continue the pressure against Ireland. The people are crying out to their government to help them and waiting for their response.[/sub]
[sub]Inside the Dáil Éireann, the TDs are arguing what to do with the current situations with the UK. Many arguing about resisting the British pressure, Unionists are arguing for the royal family to be deposed and have Ireland return to a personal union with the British crown to end the pressure, while the Republicans are also arguing about resisting the British, however, they are also saying that it is the monarchy that is causing Ireland to suffer and believe that to end the British pressure the monarchy must be abolished and a Republic to be in place. Taoiseach W.T. Cosgrave decided to deliver his speech not only to Dáil Éireann but to the Irish public by using a new device called radio. Utilizing the latest modern tool, the Taoiseach would deliver his We will never submit speech.[/sub]
[list][B] W. T. COSGRAVE, Taoiseach:[/B] [sub]Greetings, fellow men and women of our country. We are facing one of the greatest crises in our nation's history, not since the Great Famine that we have to deal with poverty brought upon us by Great Britain, who is pressuring us to give up our freedom and return to a personal union with the British Crown. Many people say that Ramsay MacDonald, the new Prime Minister of Great Britain, is a man of peace. Hypocrites, if he is a man of peace, then why is he continuing to put pressure on us. I say that he is not the man of peace but a man of aggression, a wolf wearing sheep's clothing. We must not submit to British demands; we must stay strong and persevere. We have come from a long line of great people and warriors who gave up their lives to keep their country and the people's freedom from anyone who wishes to take it away. So, I ask all of you to not give in to despair but keep on fighting for our freedom, for we shall never submit to anyone![/sub]
[sub]I promise that the government will help you by creating new jobs, preventing any more eviction on residents who cant pay the bills, lowering the prices on food and necessities, and getting rid of taxation on food and necessities. I ask the international community to help Ireland by sending humanitarian aids to the country and putting pressure on the UK for their aggression. And finally, I asked Prime Minister Ramsay if he is indeed the man of peace that everyone is saying he is, then I asked you to end the UK pressures on Ireland and make peace with us. But if you wont, let the whole world know that you are not a man of peace but a man of war. May we pray to the Most Holy Trinity that there will be peace for Ireland and the world.[/sub][/list]

[sub]Retaliation Against the Irish Kingdom[/sub][/list]
PALACE OF WESTMINSTER, WESTMINSTER, LONDON, Canovia
[sub]The screech and echoes within the House of Commons filled the chamber with deafening noise so much so that the Speaker would have a troubling time getting the House in order. As the issue of Ireland continues to be a thorn in the backside in British politics the issue could no longer be ignored.[/sub]
[sub]With Westminster taking steps to implement economic pressure on Ireland it would seem that the move would be effective as the Irish Kingdom'' was feeling the harsh realities of a bad economy. Though the British position was clear (recognising the original terms of the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1922), some within Westminster gave some support towards the pro-Treaty Irish republicans even recognising high figures as the legitimate government of the Ireland (Irish Free State).[/sub]
[sub]Although trying to remain neutral on the issue, the Prime Minister could no longer remain silent. With Ireland essentially marking the Prime Minister as a man of war many within his cabinet and Parliament would ask for a statement on the matter.[/sub]
[list]RAMSAY MACDONALD, Prime Minister: [sub]My fellow parliamentarians, the issue of the recognition of the Kingdom of Ireland has become too great. For years, we have debated back and forth whether to recognise the state or continue our actions against it. Not only has my character been attacked, but so has our message for international peace. The message of this government and previous governments have been the same. The message being that this nation will recognise the Irish Free State and the terms made by those who participated in the signing in 1922. It is indeed sad that many are suffering from the economic pressure put on Ireland and I would not wish the suffering on any nation or its people. I ask my Liberal and Conservative colleagues, is peace off the table? Can we not find a middle ground? Shall we continue on and on and let this issue get any longer than it should? I ask my colleagues to think on the matter.[/sub][/list]
[sub]As the Prime Minister concluded his statement, former Prime Minister and Leader of the Opposition Stanley Baldwin would say a few words of his own, commenting on the last part of Ramsay MacDonalds statement.[/sub]
[list]STANLEY BALDWIN, Leader of the Opposition: [sub]I believe I can say this for the majority of this House, perhaps maybe not, but our position has been very clear since the announcement of the installation of the Irish monarchy. We will not recognise any form of government associated with the Irish monarchy. Let the Irish say what they want. Let them paint us in a bad light. But I can guarantee that without majority support in this House, no relief in Ireland shall occur. As heartless as that may seem, it is a necessity to continue such pressure until the status quo has returned. While Northern Ireland continues to develop, the south surely stays behind. I find it interesting that even the Prime Ministers Foreign Secretary is against such measures to ease pressure from Ireland. It should tell him that although peace is a goal that we all strive for, not all peace can be achieved. I thought I would never hear myself say this, but the republicans are right. Never in my life would I agree with them, though they are pro-Treaty, but the best way to end pressure is to depose the illegitimate Irish monarchy and I would say that someone pro-Treaty should form a caretaker government so that the pressure can end and we can continue with the treatys agreements, therefore putting getting Ireland out of its economic trouble. I would doubt our allies would go against us in this measure but the position will not change unless you have a majority in this House, which I will highly doubt will come anytime soon.[/sub][/list]
[sub]While most of the Labour MPs remained silent, an eruption of applause came from the Conservative and Liberal MPs as well as a few Labour MPs. While the governments position has remained mainly unchanged, the path for peace with Ireland would prove to be a major struggle.[/sub]
[list]BRITISH GOVERNMENTs POSITION:
[sub] The position of the British government remains largely unchanged, with Westminster recognising the original terms of the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1922, which states the establishment of the Irish Free State (Dominion) with His Majesty as Head of State who would be represented by an Irish Governor-General. Crown forces would largely withdraw from most of Ireland. Britain, for its own security, would continue to control a limited number of ports, known as the Treaty Ports, for the Royal Navy. The Irish Free State would assume responsibility for a proportionate part of the United Kingdom's debt, as it stood on the date of signature (and theres more but thats the gist of it).[/sub]
[sub]Also for future economic troubles, this might contribute to Irelands economic downfall even more. Anglo-Irish Trade War[/sub]

SPANISH GOVERNMENT SIGNS OFF ON THE CREATION OF A SOVEREIGN WEALTH FUND
Earlier today, at an inconspicuous event attended by high-ranking members of the Azana administration and particularly the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Trade, President Manuel Azana and Prime Minister Niceto Alcala Zamora signed off on the creation of the New Madrid Sovereign Wealth Fund, a state-owned sovereign wealth fund dedicated to investing government surplus funds into markets around the world in an effort to create profit for the Republican government. The new sovereign wealth fund was established with a primary government investment of $8 million dollars, with private investors and Spanish bankers investing another $2 million into the new fund. The New Madrid Sovereign Wealth Fund, or the NMSWF for short, aims to invest in oil-rich and prospering nations in order to further the Spanish economy in light of a recent minor economic downturn thanks mainly to excessive government spending on the military.
In essence, a sovereign welfare fund, is a state-owned company funded by the central government of a nation, with the aim of using excess government funds from surpluses in a nation's central bank to invest in other markets and opportunities in a bid to earn additional funds for a nation's government. This new sovereign welfare fund, for the Spanish central government, is based off a concept originally launched in the 1800s by the United States and the state of Texas's Permanent School Fund and Permanent University Fund. Although the concept is almost certainly in a phase of 'failure and learning', the unicameral Spanish Parliament agreed to invest $10 million dollars into the new fund, with the aim of investing into the Middle East and Western Europe in particular.

[sub]The Henderson-Webb Tour[/sub][/list]
PALACE OF WESTMINSTER, WESTMINSTER, LONDON, Canovia DAY
[sub]With the new Labour government now cementing their power in Westminster (with the dependence of Liberal MPs to pass certain legislation), their main focus was to put their attention on domestic matters concerning improving conditions between the working class and major businesses. As the General Strike of 1926 and the main issues of slums these two issues would be the main priority for the Prime Minister at home.[/sub]
[sub]On behalf of the Prime Minister, Ramsay MacDonald would send two cabinet members. Arthur Henderson (Foreign Secretary) and Sidney Webb (Secretary of State for the Colonies and Dominions) on a several month tour throughout the British Empire to gather economic and social reports to send back to London where Westminster would give advice to the colonial governments and Governor-Generals on how to improve certain weak areas of their economies and social issues. The major countries of focus other than the important Dominions (Canada, Newfoundland, Australia, New Zealand) were to be the Sudan (Nileia) and the British Raj (Nosautempopulus though those two nations would be visited in the latter half of the year.[/sub]
[sub]Agreed by both men and departments the start of the tour would begin with the Dominion of Canada, followed by the Dominion of Newfoundland, British Honduras, the British Caribbean territories, Guyana, followed by trips towards Australia, New Zealand and the British Asia territories. Finally the last leg of the tour would be the British Raj, British Middle Eastern territories then to Africa from the Sudan heading south and conclude the trip with the final spot of British Gambia.[/sub]
[list]RAMSAY MACDONALD, Prime Minister: [sub]Our government goal is to improve the working conditions and lives of the working class not only in Britain but also in our territories. We cannot afford to neglect anyone who is under the rule of a colonial government. Therefore, I have sent two of my best advisors on a tour around the British Empire to learn of the conditions of our territories and Dominions so we can quickly work on the weak sectors of their economies and social conditions. If we can work together, as an Empire, we can truly triumph and regain our dignity and strength. This is a necessary must to ensure that everybody in the Empire is well off and not just the people here in London and the United Kingdom. I wish Mr. Arthur Henderson and Mr. Sidney Webb well on their journeys and I look forward to reading their reports on the matter.[/sub][/list]

| The Philippine Constabulary. Established in August 1901 as the first ever armed force operating actively under the Insular Government of the Philippine Islands, the Constabulary, or the PC, served as one of the key notions of a growing autonomy for the Southeast Asian archipelago. During its early years the PC originally enlisted purely Paramerican personnel shipped in from the mainland or US military forces stationed there, but by 1906 the first Filipino officers graduated from its academy at the former Spanish walled city fort of Intramuros then its Academy for Officers of the Philippine Constabulary. Now, 28 years after its formation, a new batch of local PC trainees were undergoing their training to eventually become a part of the Philippines' first gendarmerie force. |

[sub]The Return of the Irish Free State[/sub][/list]
LEINSTER HOUSE, DUBLIN, IRISH FREE STATE (Canovia) MIDDAY
[sub]It was several years ago that certain high ranking members of Irish society declared the Kingdom of Ireland as a sovereign nation allowing Hugo José Jorge ONeill to take the title of King Patrick I of the Kingdom of Ireland. With the original terms of the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1922 clarifying that His Majesty, King George V was the Head of State of the Irish Free State the announcement of an Irish monarchy caused massive criticism from Westminster, pro and anti-Treaty republicans. Declaring the Kingdom of Ireland an illegitimate state and monarchy, the British Empire began to implement harsh, economic pressure on the Kingdom of Ireland, with some of the Empires closest allies following a similar gesture.[/sub]
[sub]As reports of the Irish economy plummeting to record lows it would prove that the economic pressure from the British Empire could be felt. Though not seeing eye-to-eye on majority of issues, both Westminster and Irish republicans both agreed that the longer the Irish monarchy continued to claim its legitimacy, the longer the effects of economic pressure would be felt.[/sub]
[sub]Filled with anger and a passion once more, citizens in Dublin protested their views in front of Leinster House tired of the Oireachtas inefficiencies on a majority of issues and the demand of removing King Patrick I from his post. Protestors ranging from pro-Treaty, anti-Treaty and ordinary citizens would occupy the perimeter of Leinster House, putting immense pressure on W.T. Cosgrove on future decisions concerning Ireland.[/sub]
[sub]It would be a chilly September day but a day of major news as King Patrick I would drop his title and future claims to the Irish throne, abdicating the throne and dissolving the monarchy. With little to say, Hugo José Jorge ONeill would make a brief statement on the matter.[/sub]
[list]HUGO JOSÉ JORGE ONEILL, Illegitimate King: [sub]To the people of Ireland. It was never my place to declare myself the King of Ireland. Although serving the position, I could never properly govern Ireland. For many years I have tried to learn Irish culture, language and ways of life. It is interesting to say the least. But I cannot call myself an Irishman and lead a nation I am not familiar with, no matter how long I live here or learn the ways of Irish life. To end this, I will give up all claims to an Irish throne. I hereby dissolve the monarchy for the greater good of the people of Ireland. It is because of me and a few others that the nation is suffering and I cannot govern knowing I am the main reason why people are suffering. With this announcement, I hope the United Kingdom will begin to ease the restrictions and help the Irish people back on their feet. As for our family, we shall head back to Brazil to live a quiet life and return to a time where we lived peacefully. Goodbye and farewell.[/sub][/list]
[sub]With the monarchy dissolved the Oireachtas would soon follow, with certain members of the Oireachtas arrested by IRA members. Taoiseach W.T. Cosgrove would be one of few arrested by the IRA being imprisoned at Portlaoise Prison awaiting sentencing. Forming a caretaker government Kevin OHiggins would be appointed President of the Executive Council of the Irish Free State.[/sub]
[list]KEVIN OHIGGINS, President of the Executive Council: [sub]We have endured many hardships. Seeing men, women and children starve for past mistakes and reckless behaviour is unacceptable. However, we must move forward and put Ireland back on its own two feet. As of today we shall continue being the Irish Free State under the original terms of the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1922. With these announcements, I see a bright future for our country. No more British sanctions. No more starving men, women and children. No more plummeting economy. We shall move forward. The true Irish spirit has not died. Our fiery passion for freedom has not been smothered. We are rising from the ashes of dark times and going towards the bright light. I want everyone to know that there will be no more suffering if we move forward properly.[/sub]
[sub] MESSAGE FROM THE IRISH REPUBLICAN ARMY[/sub]
[sub]The fraudulent Irish monarchy has died. It is a small victory for the Irish people, though our fight for freedom hasnt stopped. Next, we shall get rid of the British once and for all and have Ireland united under Irish rule where we dictate our lives and not in the hands of a fraudulent or foreign king. Our republican dream still lives on and we shall get rid of those who stand in our way such as Mr. W.T. Cosgrove, who is nothing but a traitor to our cause. This is a small victory but the true fight has yet to begin.[/sub][/list]
PALACE OF WESTMINSTER, WESTMINSTER, LONDON, Canovia DAY
[sub]Upon hearing the news of the dissolution of the Irish monarchy and a pro-Treaty caretaker government in place, Westminster saw this as a sign of victory. As all members within the House were in a positive mood. With the new caretaker government preparing to put Ireland back into law and order the British were ready to remove all restrictions towards Ireland to allow the economic effects to reverse. Though still not seeing eye-to-eye with many of Irelands politicians Westminster could finally put a years long battle between Ireland and the United Kingdom behind. Making a statement, the Prime Minister would speak to the nation.[/sub]
[list]RAMSAY MACDONALD, Prime Minister: [sub]I am relieved the conflict between the United Kingdom and Ireland is over. With these new announcements I am happy to begin the process of lifting restrictions on Ireland immediately. The people of Ireland have suffered long enough. Let us know help the Irish back on their feet so that suffering can no longer be an issue. The Labour Partys message is peace and prosperity. We are now at relative peace with Ireland, now let us help the Irish Free State prosper into a proper Dominion within our Empire. This is a great day for both sides, as conflict is now behind us.[/sub][/list]

[sup]Two long days had passed since the capitulation of his majesty, Inayatullah Khan, and the streets of Kabul had gone quiet with no one daring to venture out of their homes. Less they become victims to the savagery of the Saqqawists. The invaders had no name to their band, the government simply referred to them as rebels during the whole ordeal, however, whispers and gossip around the mysterious Kalakani led to the proliferation that he was a son of a water carrier. Thus, he was unofficially dubbed, Bacha-ye Saqao and those that followed him Saqāwīhā's or Saqaowian. Habibullah was from the village of Kalakaan in Kohistan from the Tajik tribe, stealthy and tall young man who was a strong and forceful individual. In his memoirs, Kalakani stated that his home village was "miserable" and that he had "conceived a deep hatred of its poverty-stricken exterior". At age 14, he left for Kabul on horseback with his friends. Joining King Amanullah's army, he would see combat in both the 3rd Afghan-Angloid War and the Khost Rebellion. During the latter war, he served as an officer with the Royal Army's "Model Battalion" and served with distinction during the suppression of the insurgents. He was an educated, experienced and brave soldier. In the final years, however, he was stealing after deserting the army and had formed a group of bandits, beginning a life of banditry since he considered the occupations common among the Kuhdamanis, like viticulture and selling firewood, to be beneath him reasoning that these could hardly ever provide wheat bread for his table. After many run in's with the law, Kalakani was eventually arrested by the British in Peshawar. There he began developing a resentment of both the British colonial rule and what he perceived as weakness from King Amanullah. Turning a new leaf, Kalakani would begin a new career as a rebel by murdering a govenor in Charikar and his eventual attack on the government. Inayatullah upon coming to terms with Kalakani, he and the rest of the royal family would leave Afghanistan as per the agreement between the two. Kalakani allowed him to peacefully leave Kabul with his family and 3000 rupees. Inayatullah would make his exit via the British Royal Air Force, whom were already in the process of evacuating foreign dignitaries and their families as most governments did not recognize the new rule of Kalakani. The only diplomats who remained were those of the Iranian Empire, protected by a military attache led by Colonel Ali Khan, the Turkish diplomatic mission, and the Afghan-German Trading Company that represented German interests. It remained unclear if the Iranians supported the new King or were simply waiting to see what the son of Saqao would do. As for Kalakani, he was angered at the evacuation of the many foreign dignitaries and in an instance of petty revenge, ordered his men to pillage the abandoned living quarters of the dignitaries. The son of saqao, Habibullah Khan, followers of Saqaowian quickly occupied the Arg Palace and made arrangements for a crowning ceremony. The son of Saqao, Habibullah, announced that he is King on the 20th of January and gave a public speech to the Kabulis in front of the Independence monument. Though his appearance was off-putting as he lacked the proper grooming or elegance that is associated with a monarch. In the ceremony, he designated his title as quote the servant of the religion of the Prophet, Amir Habibullah. taking both the title Padishah and Amir despite re-instating the Emirate. The Amir was quick to consolidate his new power, establish a new royal cabinet for himself, and get former Amanullah workers and administrators to either accept him or make a run for Kandahar.[/sup]
[list]𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓐𝓶𝓲𝓻'𝓼 𝓷𝓮𝔀 𝓡𝓸𝔂𝓪𝓵 𝓒𝓪𝓫𝓲𝓷𝓮𝓽
[sup]Shayr Jan, cavalry commander of the Saqaowians, as Minister of Court despite having little experience in such a field. Ata al-Haqq, who was one of Amanullah's foreign advisors but switched loyalties after his exile was made as his foreign minister. Abd al-Ghafur Khan, son of Muhammad Shah Tarabi of the Safi tribe, whom betrayed Amanullah in the Battle of Kabul was awarded the Ministry of the interior. Sayyid Husayn would be given the position of the Minister of Defense, as he was one of the main commanders during the siege of Kabul. Purdil Khan, Kalakani's childhood friend and right-hand man was bestowed the rank of field marshal of the Army. Abd al-Wakil Khan another close friend of the Amir was also given the rank of field marshal of the Army alongside Purdil Khan. Sayyid Muhammad as commander of the Arg, a fellow bandit that rode with the Amir since his early days of pillaging. Mirza Mujtaba Khan as minister of finance. Muhammad Mahfuz, Amir's cousin was made the war minister despite his only experience in military leadership being one cadet course that he never passed in military high school.[/sup][/list]

[list][list]The Trial, Execution, and Death of Hugo José Jorge O'Neill, Former King of Ireland and Brazilian Mutineer[/list][/list]
| [sub]The disgraced illegitimate King of Ireland and his family arrived at the port of Lisbon in European Brazil (Portugal) amid controversy. For 7 years Hugo José Jorge O'Neill ruled Ireland. For 7 years he blatantly neglected his post as an officer in the Imperial Brazilian Navy, a post graciously bestowed upon him by Empress Isabel I. Having left for Ireland without prior warning or any notification to the Admiralty, he faced charges of mutiny. Upon the ship carrying the O'Niells docking, a detachment of Brazilian police officers, notified earlier of his arrival, boarded the ship and arrested Hugo José Jorge O'Neill and escorted him and his family off of the vessel and onto the dock. The press swarmed all around the dock as the officers shoved O'Niell into a nearby squad car and slammed the door behind him, hurling insults at the man and spitting on him. The officers then motioned for the press to move back as the disgraced King's family were led into several other police vehicles, albeit with a bit more respect.[/sub] |
| [sub]Several days later, the disgraced former monarch of Ireland, in shackles and in civilian clothing, faced João Luís Alves, Desembargador of the High Admiralty Court of the Imperial Brazilian Navy on charges of mutiny. The trial of Hugo José Jorge O'Neill only lasted 5 days.. the court having sufficient evidence of his mutiny and clear violation of Brazilian Imperial law. Desembargador Alves then pronounced his sentence in the company of several Admirals and prominent naval staff. ". . .Having been found guilty of mutiny, you sir shall die by Garrote according to the law. Your neck shall be placed in iron collar attached to a post. Once that has been carried out, the collar shall be slowly tightened by a screw until it pierces the back of your neck, severing your spinal cord and throat, leading to a death by asphyxiation." With the pounding of his gavel, the court was dismissed and Hugo José Jorge O'Neill was lead out of the court and into an awaiting vehicle before being driven to a holding cell at the Lisbon Admiralty.[/sub] |
| [sub]On the morning of the 25th September, 1929, Hugo José Jorge O'Neill was lead out of his cell and into the courtyard palisade adjacent to the Admiralty by several armed guards who then proceeded to strap him into the garrote at the center of the courtyard before stepping aside, allowing for a Catholic priest to grant O'Niell his last rites. O'Niell proceeded to confess his sins upon which the Viaticum was presented to him. He took the Bread and Wine of the Holy Sacrament and was blessed by the priest, assured that he'd be with Christ that day. Once the Catholic ritual was over, the executioner, dressed in a black shroud and face covering to hide his identity, grabbed ahold of the lever behind the garrote and twisted for over half a minute, executing the condemned former King of Ireland for his mutiny against the Brazilian Empire as stipulated by law.[/sub] |
| [sub]Following his execution, his body was granted to the O'Niell family, which by now had been stripped of their noble status. The funeral of the late King was quite small, having taken place in the chapel of our Lady of Lusitania just outside of Lisbon in Santos-o-Velho. By order of the Government, he was not given a funeral with honors and instead a limit of 60 attendees was imposed on the ceremony. Flags of the former Kingdom of Ireland were not permitted and mourners were to strictly be made up of close family and friends. Following the funeral of the late illegitimate King and Mutineer, his grave was sealed off and a tombstone was erected baring only his civil name without his noble titles which had been stripped a few days before his sentencing. Thus with the death of Hugo I, the O'Niells were no more and Anglo-Brazilian relations were preserved.[/sub] |

Innocent People where sentenced to Starvation. and Poverty. by a "Civilized" and Democratic Government. all because of the Egos of a Man with the blood of Kin on his hands (George V) a Reckless pretty boy (edward VIII) and a Stuttering Buffon (George VI) can't handle being dethroned in a former Dominion and then Being replaced as Monarch. the Choice of Ireland to elect Patrick O'Neil as the King of Ireland was the Choice of Ireland, as if this is not a Violation of all Morality the King of Ireland was then Executed by the Nation who took in his family so many centuries ago. Why ? Because he was a Inconvenience. Not because the Judgment handed down at his Show Trial. Now you may ask Why does this Matter to Hungary ? It doesn't apply to Hungary because Austria is a Republic and the Hapsburgs have been ousted everywhere else. But it is about the Principle of the Matter. May the Mercy of Jesus Christ be bestowed on King Patrick of house O'Neil"

| QUEEN'S SECOND REFORM PACKAGE PASSED |
[sub]Politics, Culture, Money[/sub]
| For the past two months, the Iranian politics have been undertaken by the election campaign and the Second Queen's Reform Package being constructed. The election campaign has been rather major as the Queen's Reform Package seeks to expand voting rights to working classes, to religious minorities and to working class women marking a completely different situation. Suddenly, the parties have to attract a much bigger and much more diverse pool of electorate, placing the results of the elections up into air. Many fear that with extension of vote, the Communist party might see a bigger rise, but a twist did happen with the formation of the Religious Minority Front of Iran forming itself in Tabriz, and being a collection of Christian, Jewish, Yarasnist and Mandeans. Their leader being Ahban Dazdar, a Christian Persian.
The campaign have also, for the first time, brought upon the Prime Minister travelling around the country, to major cities trying to gain their support for the upcoming January elections. However, at the same time, the Prime Minister has been battling to pass through his own reforms through the Queen's Package, as a way to be part of the change and to show the electorate his good cooperation with the monarchy that has been gaining significant attention and popularity, especially after the Second Queen's package passed, giving the Queen a likeness amongst the religious minorities and the establishing working class.
However, the Conservatives from Moderate Socialists and from the Iranian Unity have struck against the Queen and the government for passing such reforms, claiming that the reforms will allow Communists to take advantage, give religious minorities a chance to imperialise Iranians through a voice in the parliament and place women on a new unknown in consequences pedestal. Ayatollah Peshavi who was released from prison by unknown circumstances, has staged major protest in Qom against the package and against the Queen. ||
[sub]EXTRACT FROM PESHAVI'S SPEECH[/sub]
[list][ AYATOLLAH PESHAVI, Ayatollah of Iran ]: "...the tyranny of the devil continues within our country...she has been appointed by Ibis!...appointed to create a new order, and destroy the Islamic civilisation of our country and our world!...she is becoming a threat of proportions never seen before and she must be destroyed immediately!...serving her and being manipulated are the men that govern this country...it breaks my heart but we must win the battle, the war, against Ibis and his spawn that hides within the gates of the Golestan Palace![/list]
| In Tehran and Shiraz, women have staged their own gatherings for the first time in the history of modern Iran. Many of those women are part of the Iranian Women Front and upcoming feminists. The gatherings were in support of the Queen and her reform package. All of the women were unveiled, which is becoming a growing phenomenon amongst women especially in the cities. One of the leaders is the newly elect Khadijeh Afzal Vazir, the leader of the Iranian Women Movement and head of their campaign. |
[sub]EXTRACT FROM VAZIR'S SPEECH[/sub]
[list][ KHADIJEH AZFAL VAZIR, Feminist Leader ]: "...we are finally making our way towards progress we have fought for so long...we are no longer looking back upon a system that in it's manner tried to keep us down as we now have a powerful ally in the elite...our movement is no longer for the upper class woman of Tehran, it is about all the women of this country, every single one of us that wants to make Iran the future of progress amidst the dark imperialistic rulers of the globe..."[/list]
| The Second Queen's Reform Package is based upon five very crucial reforms, two of which come from the Prime Minister, one that comes from the Cultural Adviser to the Queen, Ms Peghani and the rest come from the Queen's major adviser. The Queen herself is said to be very happy with the reforms and when asked about her opinion on the political campaign going on right now, the Queen has responded with a simple shake of her head declining to answer her views on the situation. |
