KINGDOM OF KOREA[list]

[sup]Ryongsong Residence, Pyongyang[/sup][/list]

| [sub]The sound of heels clicked on the corridors of the Ryongsong Residence. The residence was and still is the official residence of the Kim Family, the family that ruled the former Democratic People's Republic of Korea with an iron fist. The residence was left to Kim Jong-chul and his younger siblings, upon the assissination of Kim Jong-il in August 1989 by his brother Kim Yong-ju. The heels clicking on the floor belonged to the most powerful woman in the family, Kim Yo-jong, she was regarded as strategic, throughtful and determined. Recently appointed the leader of the Korean Social Democratic Party, Yo-jong was very much on the minds of the public.[/sub] |[list]

[sub]Yo-jong: "Jong-un! Jong-nam! Where are you? We have business to discuss!"[/sub]

[sub]Jong-chul: "Nice way to show your bias sis, skip me completely and name the youngest first."[/sub]

[sub]Yo-jong: "You're old to me so be quiet"[/sub][/list]

| [sub]Yo-jong's three older siblings would join her in one of the many, many, meeting rooms of the Ryongsong Residence. All the Kim's have gone off to have their own careers, start families and so on, but all living in the expansive residence made life a lot easier.[/sub] |[list]

[sub]Jong-un: "What's this about Yo-jong? I've got to get to the State Council meeting by two o'clock."[/sub]

[sub]Yo-jong: "Fear not, Un. I shall keep this short and sweet. The KSDP shall be contesting the next national elections, in all of Korea. We have enough financial backing to run nationwide."[/sub][/list]

| [sub]The three brothers would look to one another slightly confused, before looking to Yo-jong.[/sub] |[list]

[sub]Jong-nam: "The name seems a little uninspiring doesn't it? Not very to your ideology?"[/sub]

[sub]Jong-chul: "Yeah I thought you were in favour of Juche and all that? Not social democratic crap.[/sub]

[sub]Yo-jong: "Of course I'm in favour of Juche you blithering idiots, it made our family incredibly rich, so much so that we're still rich now. The social democratic bit is a front, you really think many people would vote for a pro-Juche party in south?"[/sub]

[sub]Jong-un: "They voted for the Justice Party did they not?[/sub]

[sub]Yo-jong: "All they cared about was wishy washy gay stuff, and making everyone equal. It doesn't wash quite the same as Juche."[/sub][/list]

| [sub]The three brothers would hum and nod in unison as if to agree with their younger sister, the discussion would continue for some time until Jong-un had to make leave to a meeting in the State Council. Where the KSDP would soon gain it's first level of representation.[/sub] |

CHINA CRITICIZES ESCALATION OF YUGOSLAVIA DISPUTE; CALLS FOR RESTRAINT

中 方 批 评 南 斯 拉 夫 争 端 升 级;呼 吁 克 制

[sup]March 2027 | 2027 年 3 月 一 On the Yugoslav Nuclear Crisis

[/sup]

[list]

[sub]

In the midst of a dispute that risks deteriorating the already tense relations between the Eurasian Federation and the West, Foreign Minister Wang Yi would speak on behalf of China regarding the situation:[/sub]

[sub]》 中华人民共和国外交部长王毅 一 “南斯拉夫局势对欧洲和平构成重大威胁,对各地和平构成重大威胁。中方尊重南斯拉夫内政的内部性质,尊重南斯拉夫确保自身主权防御的权利。将大规模杀伤性武器放置在一个中立国家,表明武器起源国欧亚联邦采取了颠覆性和恶意的政策。该政策旨在将其意志强加于中立领土,并在类似欧亚联邦与欧洲其他国家之间冷战的情况下重新启动并获得影响力。意大利及其领土对南斯拉夫民族实行严厉封锁,是一种无端的升级,直接违反了有关个别国家主权的国际准则,是对个别国家进行国际贸易的权利的非法和敌对行为。和业务。中方坚决反对有关国家采取使局势严重恶化的升级行动。 [...] 中国和意大利、中国和欧亚联邦保持着强大而广泛的贸易和商业伙伴关系,雇用了数百万工人,并促进了许多其他国家的繁荣。意大利和欧亚联邦采取的升级行动可能会损害这些互利的伙伴关系。 [...] 争端各方之间的敌对行动将不复存在,除非各方都选择保持侵略性和敌对姿态,因此各方有责任防止这种关系恶化。世界各国始终秉持与邻国合作建设更稳定、和平关系的意愿是根本,世界各国克制破坏性行为是根本。中国主张通过对话和维护国际外交和贸易准则,在国家间和平进程中取得合法、公平的进展。这些和平行动需要时间和共同努力,中方坚定支持解决这一争端的努力,并将与各方共同努力。”[/sub]

[sub]》 FOREIGN MINISTER WANG YI, People's Republic of China 一 “The situation in Yugoslavia poses a great threat to peace in Europe and a great threat to peace everywhere. China respects the internal nature of Yugoslavia's internal affairs, and respects Yugoslavia's right to ensure its sovereign defense, however the nature in which weapons of mass destruction have been suddenly hosted by the neutral nation suggests a subversive and malicious policy of the country in which the weapons originated, the Eurasian Federation, to impose its will on the neutral territory, and to restart and gain leverage in a situation resembling a cold war between the Eurasian Federation and other countries of Europe. The imposition of a harsh blockade by Italy and its territories on the Yugoslav nation is an unwarranted escalation and directly violates international norms in respect to the sovereignty of individual countries, and constitutes an illicit and hostile act against the right of individual countries to conduct international trade and business. China firmly opposes the escalatory actions of all countries involved, which result in a severe deterioration of the situation. [...] China and Italy, and China and the Eurasian Federation maintain robust and immense trade and business partnerships which employ millions of workers, and elevate the prosperity of many others. The escalatory actions pursued by both Italy and the Eurasian Federation risk harm to these mutually beneficial partnerships. [...] Hostilities between all parties involved in the dispute will not exist unless all parties choose to maintain aggressive and hostile postures, thus it is the responsibility of all parties to prevent such a deterioration in relations. It is fundamental that states around the world always uphold the willingness to cooperate with their neighbors for more stable and peaceful relationships, and it is fundamental countries around the world exercise restraint from damaging actions. China stands for legitimate and fair progress towards peace between countries, through dialogue and the upholding of international diplomatic and trade norms. These actions towards peace require time and a common effort, and China stands completely steadfast in supporting such an effort to resolve this dispute, and will work with all parties to assist in such.”

[pre]December, 2026 | Tono Air Force Base, South West of Nyala - State of South Darfur, United Federal Republic of Sudan[/pre]

DARFUR'S TONO AIR FORCE BASE OPENS OPERATIONS

Just a few miles south of the State Capital in Nyala, amidst the Tono grasslands, construction on the Air Force's main Darfur base of operation has been completed. Tono Air Force Base (TAFB) had been tasked with the security of Sudan's western region with Chad and central Africa, fitted with a paved 5,000 ft long run way, 3 maintenance hangars, 1 control tower, 18 barracks, and 1 base of operation centers, along with defenses such as 10x Persian Angle Air Defense Systems set up around the perimeters of the air base. An estimated total of 3,000 Air Force personal are to be stationed at Tono as a small portion of the assets at Wadi Sedina Air Force Base (WSAFB) up near Khartoum will be transported out west to Tono. The base is set to be up and operational in a number of weeks.

Though originally the plan was set to have Tono Air Force Base (TAFB) in Darfur to be completed first as a result of the war in Chad, the end to the war along with the flare of armed conflict between Sudanese troops in Uganda and Gallan Invasion forces has forced the Air Force to complete construction of Songola in the equatoria region of Sudan first out of the 4 newly planned air force bases.

Never the less, Tono Air Force Base has completed construction and was set to open and start operations staring January of next year following independence day. The opening of the base has left Nyala International Airport to be fully capable of only handling civilian air traffic and flow through the Darfur region.

Military command has also anticipated some international and domestic concerns over the opening of Tono Air Force Base following just weeks after the Sudanese Parliament had passed OKDA official disputing the lands formerly known as Oustani. The military assures all those who are concerned, Tono was in the plans to be built years prior, the opening of the base is not meant to be shown as any threats to the Chadians.

[pre]March 2027 | Presidential Palace, Ankara, Republic of Turkey[/pre]

[list][pre]| LEBANON, YUGOSLAVIA, ISTANBUL: ERDOGAN'S FIGHT FOR TURKISH REGIONAL MILITARY SUPREMACY [/pre][/list]

[sub]The Turkish invasion of Lebanon to oust its dictatorial leader. The Turkish backing of the Italian ultimatum for the removal of all Soviet nuclear weapons from Yugoslav soil. The construction and opening of the Istanbul Canal, now a vital link between Russia, the Black Sea, and the rest of the world's oceans. The Republic of Turkey is a well-positioned nation for its goal to become a regional military power, and in a sense this goal has been achieved. The procurement of arms - helicopter carriers in particular - ramped up in recent years with the rise of the Union-State of Islamic Nations and the subsequent establishment of the Caliphate. Turkey bolstered its military power with the withdrawal of Iran into neutrality and now looks suspiciously at the new Red Menace in the north and Soviet nukes in Yugoslavia to Turkey's west. Lebanon, Yugoslavia, Istanbul. This is the story of Recep Tayyip Erdogan's fight for Turkish regional military supremacy.[/sub]

[sub]Lebanon. Widely regarded as the former home of the Phoenicians and now home to a significant Christian minority, the country fell into chaos when the Republic of Turkey declared war and toppled the nation's dictatorial regime. While Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey's President, had pledged a full withdrawal and the reinstatement of Lebanese sovereignty, the Turkish Government has yet to fulfill this promise and the Turkish military maintains a substantial military presence inside a Turkish base in Beirut. Indeed, Lebanon held national elections for an independent Lebanese president, but the election's victory was avidly pro-Turkish, sparking suspicion. Nonetheless, Turkish funds and recovery personnel continue to flow into Lebanon, assisting in humanitarian aid efforts and rebuilding the nation after the violent war with Turkey. A recent referendum showed a strong opposition to dividing the Lebanese nation on religious lines, and the Muslim majority continues to grow in number in the country. Lebanon was and still is a symbol of Turkey's goal of becoming a regional military power. However, it also damaged the nation's reputation on the world stage. [/sub]

[sub]Yugoslavia. A nation of Southern Slavs struggling to maintain its sovereignty against a resurgent imperial Italy. Under the presidency of Boris Tadic, the nation grew steadily, procuring arms from other nations and readying itself for what many Turks see as an inevitable fight for dominance over the Adriatic with the Italian state. When Yugoslavia strengthened ties with the communist Eurasian Federation of Soviet States, and allowed for Soviet nukes to be stationed in Yugoslavia under Yugoslav control, the Balkan region fell into the Yugoslav Missile Crisis. President Erdogan and the Turkish Government sided with the Italians, citing security concerns, and backed the Italian ultimatum for the removal of nuclear weapons from Yugoslav soil. Although Turkey never followed up on its threat to embargo Yugoslavia after it failed to comply with the Italian ultimatum, Ankara has made it clear it remains weary of Yugoslavia and its nuclear arms. Considering Yugoslavia's relative distance from Turkey's major cities, namely Ankara and Istanbul, many wondered whether Turkey had confronted Belgrade over the nuclear weapons because of security threats or because Turkey was secretly seeking to consolidate and renew its influence in the Balkans. In a subsequent interview in early March, the latter was backed when President Erdogan admitted that 'there was and still is no significant threat to Turkish security'.[/sub]

[sub]Istanbul. Formerly known as Constantinople, the city served as a cork to contain the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union, the Russian Federation, the SGRI, the Russian Federation again, and now the resurgent Soviet Russia up north. The city, previously dominated by foreigners and Greeks and British in particular, is now a haven of Turkish nationalism and Kemalism, and is an extremely strategic port city in the Eastern Mediterranean. The opening of the Istanbul Canal last year opened a second route from the Black Sea into the Eastern Mediterranean, further increasing Russia's options of getting into the world via the seven seas. Nationalist newspapers acclaimed that Turkey was aiming to 'exert extreme pressure' on the communist Russians when Turkish President Erdogan publicly criticized communism and the new Soviet state, claiming that a breakdown of relations 'is extremely likely'. Istanbul is not only a home of Turkish nationalism, but it is also a chalice of Turkish power and strength in the region.[/sub]

[sub]Erdogan's fight for Turkish regional military supremacy continues into 2027 and beyond as the Turkish people aspire to work harder, fly higher, move faster, and fight stronger.[/sub]

[pre]March 2027 | Coalition for Turkish Unity (TBK) Opposition Headquarters, Ankara, Republic of Turkey[/pre]

[list][pre]| COALITION FOR TURKISH UNITY (TBK) PASS LANDMARK ECONOMIC STIMULATION BILL AS MODERATE AKP ASSEMBLYMEN TURN TO VOTE WITH THE OPPOSITION[/pre][/list]

[sub]After weeks of heated debating and arguing, the Grand National Assembly of the Republic of Turkey, the nation's unicameral legislative body, formally passed the Economic Stimulation and Growth Encouragement Act of 2027, with 311-289 voting in favor of the bill. The passage of this act, usually shortened to the ESGEA (pronounced es-gee), marked the first time a proposal by the opposition had passed through the Assembly, as since 2014 - when Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey's incumbent president, entered office - the President's party, the Justice and Development Party, or AKP, had held landslide majorities in the Grand National Assembly, effectively blocking over 95% of all opposition-proposed legislation. The opposition, originally loosely organized into the Nation Alliance, had failed to garner significant public support in the 2023 elections, allowing Erodgan and the AKP to maintain its majority.[/sub]

[sub]However, its now March of 2027. Erdogan's popularity began slipping years before, ever since his authoritarian tendencies and failure to enact significant economic and social reform continued to expand in magnitude. The 2028 presidential elections next year is widely expected by many to wield a strong victory for the opposition, now organized under the Coalition for Turkish Unity (TBK), with some going as far as to predicting that a member of the TBK will be inaugurated into the presidency in 2028, ending Erdogan and the AKP's hold on power. With Erdogan's popularity and effectiveness taking a nosedive, moderate members of the AKP within the Grand National Assembly, composed mainly of Kemalist sympathists and conservatives, chose to break party lines and vote in favor of the opposition's proposed legislation, allowing it to pass.[/sub]

[sub]President Erdogan was reportedly 'outraged' by the 'sudden betrayal of trust' by his 'fellow partymen', but under strong public pressure - hidden and literal - he signed the act into law, which many economists had been backing for months. While President Recep Tayyip Erdogan saw the passage of the bill and his reluctant approval of it as a sign he could compromise with the opposition, in truth the Turkish people saw it as a sign of Erdogan's weakening grip on power and his failure to enact significant reforms. Even within his own parties, trouble is brewing and contenders for the AKP's leadership are rising to the challenge of contesting Erdogan for the presidency.[/sub]

REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES | REPUBLIKA NG PILIPINAS

[list]| Celebrating the Fortieth Anniversary of the 1986 People Power Revolution | FEBRUARY 2026 - FLASHBACK[/list]

[list][list]| [sub]Crowds marched along Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA), the main road linking the entirety of the National Capital Region (NCR), waving Philippine flags and flags demonstrating the Aquino family's famous yellow symbol. Some marched with their hands held high, their hands forming an L, for 'Laban' or fight, a famous symbol among the opposition against the authoritarian Marcos regime in the 1970s and 1980s. Forty years had already passed since the 1986 People Power Revolution, when tens of thousands of Filipinos marched on EDSA to demonstrate their opposition to the Marcos government, eventually toppling the authoritarian regime without shedding any blood at all. The 1986 Revolution became famous worldwide as it represented Filipino solidarity and capability, and showed the world that there was no shedding of blood needed when it came to toppling an authoritarian government and reinstating democracy in a nation. Philippine President Benigno Aquino III, the son of Ninoy and Corazon Aquino, the nation's leading opposition leaders during the Marcos era, waved to crowds from his convoy of trucks driving through EDSA, with Philippine National Police (PNP) officers clearing the way.[/sub] |[/list][/list]

[list][list]| [sub]The crowds chanted, 'Mabuhay ang Pilipinas! (Long Live the Philippines!)' as the presidential motorcade made its way through EDSA. Yellow and blue streamers fell from the air and the atmosphere was fun and jovial. In the northern part of EDSA, in the city of Mandaluyong, was the People Power Monument. The monument, depicting protestors and demonstrators, as well as commoners and working-class men and women, during the 1986 People Power Revolution. People milled around it, laughing and talking, with a podium already set up, awaiting for the President to make his speech. The Fortieth Anniversary of the People Power Revolution represented forty years of renewed Philippine democracy. News stations like CNN Philippines and Rappler set up live cameras all over EDSA to relay the fun and events to those at home. Interim Vice President Grace Poe, who had been elected into office after the impeachment of Jejomar Binay, arrived at the People Power Monument before the President and spoke a few words ahead of Aquino's arrival.[/sub] |[/list][/list]

[list][list]| [sub]GRACE POE, Vice President[/sub] | [sub]"Today is a day of both mourning and celebration. To some, the People Power Revolution represents and reminds them of their losses during the brutality of the Marcos era. To others, the Revolution represents an undying fight for freedom which we as Filipinos maintain to this day. We both mourn and celebrate today, as we remember the past and look onward to the future of the Philippines and the world. Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!"[/sub] [/list][/list]

[list][list]| [sub]President Aquino arrived an hour and a half later to cheering crowds and an onslaught of live HD cameras from several prominent broadcasters both locally and internationally. He was and still is one of the nation's defining figures, having defeated corruption and negotiated a ceasefire in the Moro Conflict with the Islamic secessionists in Mindanao and Southern Visayas. The crowd cheered him onward as he smiled and waved, before he approached the podium and cleared his throat.[/sub] |[/list][/list]

[list][list]| [sub]BENIGNO AQUINO III, The President[/sub] | [sub]"Mga kababayan. Mga kilalang panauhin at mga kinatawan ng dayuhan. Ngayon markahan ang makasaysayang Fortieth Annibersaryo ng 1986 People Power Revolution. Sa araw na iyon, ang mga mamamayan ng Pilipinas ay bumangon laban sa pamahalaang Marcos at ibinalik ang mga prinsipyo ng demokrasya at kalayaan. Mga prinsipyo na pinapanatili namin hanggang ngayon. Tulad ng sinabi ni Bise Presidente Grace Poe kanina, ito ay araw ng pagluluksa, pag-alaala, at pagdiriwang. Nalulungkot kami sa mga nawala sa panahon ni Marcos, ngunit nagdiriwang at natututo din tayo mula sa ating mga pagkakamali, at nanalangin sa Diyos na hindi na namin nagawa ang mga pagkakamaling iyon. Tandaan natin at huwag kalimutan ang ating nakaraan at ang ating kasaysayan bilang mga Pilipino, o hahatulan tayo na ulitin ito. Salamat, at mabuhay ang Pilipinas!"[/sub] [/list][/list]

| Shiraz, Iran |

[sub]March, 2027[/sub]

| We are a battalion of freedom fighters for this country, we are ready to die for our revolution and we will do so, but we will take everyone with us, all of those that symbolise oppression and capitalism, and one of those figures is Leila Putin. Everyone calls her the Tsarina, they bow to her, they kiss her hand and nurture her in this country. The stories of her role as Tsarina are all filled with lies, lies! She's credited with being the liberal force beside Putin, the appeaser, the nice one! Well what about her torture chambers beneath the Moscow Palace? It's not a conspiracy, I've seen it up close! She needs to pay for all the crimes she had done against the people of Russia and against the people of Iran. Some may call us fanatics, but we're the ones with a vision, we're the ones ready to smash the symbols of Liberalism, Capitalism and Monarchism! Death to Monarchy! Death to the Empress! Death to the Tsarina!

I observed her, her every move. I had an insider within her mansion, a maid, one of us. Leila was heading out for the airport on 17th of March, in midday hours. She was heading away to Europe, Paris. She was to begin her tour there, meeting with the Russian diaspora, rallying them up against the new Moscow regime, and rallying them to support her cause. She felt safe in Shiraz, the city of capitalism. I remember when I was younger, I loved this city. It is the city of money, dirty money. So, we came up with a plan, a quick one. |

| CUT TO - TSARINA'S MANSION |

| ( We see the Tsarina getting ready, putting on jewellery and fixing herself in the grand mirror in the hallway. The mansion is beautiful, opulent and major. Suddenly, the maid comes in with a handbag. She passes it to the Tsarina, who with a smile takes the handbag and putting on her sunglasses leaves off towards the limousine outside. ) |

| The handbag contained a small explosive device, but don't bother asking how we got our hands onto that, I won't spill. The Tsarina was to hold the handbag all the way through the journey, until the airport. She would then get onto the plane, and once she got to Paris, the bomb would detonate. It would be a big event, a big arrival of the Tsarina. A signal to Europe, the world, that the communistic revolution is underway and that no monarch, billionaire, celebrity, enemy is safe. But...I guess fate had other plans for her...she didn't carry it all the way... |

| ( The Tsarina gets to the limousine, with the back being open. She takes her phone out and throws the handbag into the back of the limo. She then gets into the limousine and the aids close all the doors. The limousine drives off. ) |

| She threw it into the back, with all her other bags and suitcases. I don't know how, but somehow the device activated itself and no longer than in the next five minutes, I heard and saw the explosion, The car went up into flames, there was a major commotion! I was in shock, but I thought...she died! The b*tch had died! But...no...some bystanders immediately ran in, dragging her out as the car went into a further blast...she didn't move though...she just laid there...but I had no gun on me, nothing to finish the job!

Soon enough, the ambulance, firemen and police arrived. An event! A few our later, we decided to admit. We phoned the media and the police and informed them, that People Battalion of Iran had committed the act! Awww...I saw the news for a wee while...we are the new target, we are the new scare...this is just the start and she may be in hospital right now, fighting for her life. But let me assure you that if she survives...she will die...we will do all that has to be done to destroy her, and every last enemy of the state! Long Live the Revolution! Long Live Free Iran! Long Live the People! |

| CUT TO - SHIRAZ ROYAL HOSPITAL |

| ( The Tsarina is lying in the bed after her surgery. Her two sons beside her, along with her mother and father. The TV in the room shows the news and the news anchor, as the videos from the explosion site are released. )

[list][ NEWS ANCHOR, Mahram Alvir ]: "The People Battalion for Iran has stated that the attack has been orchestrated and performed by them. The new radical group within the country has struck, we are on a brink of a new situation, one that has not been seen before. Never before in history has a terrorist group, of any kind, managed to perform any kind of attack on any royal member...the question posed then is; Is the royal family safe, and is anyone of any higher social standing safe anymore?"[/list] |

[spoiler="We are the revolution, we are the start. Iran is only our beginning, we will make the life of our enemies, anywhere in the world, a true nightmare. This is the start of a new era, where the people say enough!" - People Battalion for Iran]

Civil Justice & Development Party Passes Legislation Banning Ba'athism and Communist Education & Political Orientation

أصدر حزب العدالة والتنمية المدنية تشريعاً يحظر التربية البعثية والشيوعية والتوجه السياسي

[sub]Caliph Abdullah bin al-Hussein Abdulrahman I | ABU DHABI, 2027 [/sub][/list]

[sub]| DAWLAT ALAITIHAD LIL'UMAT AL'IISLAMIA - ادولة الاتحاد للأمة الإسلامية |[/sub]

[pre]The Supreme Parliament for Shura and Governance has revealed after much consideration and observations that the Union-State of Islamic Nations will be taking the growing return of global Communism and regional based Ba'athist movements more seriously. Signaled by Prime Minister Mohammad Al-Thani, Abu Dhabi remembers the 2 decades of violence casted by the Ba'aths in the 20th century in the Middle East, resulting in the deaths of at least 100,000 people across 20 years of regional war, conflict, chaos, violence, and genocide. To stoke the emotional imagery from the survivors of this dark period, the CJDP signaled a two-part legislation to be named "The Psychological Rehabilitation for Political Trauma Bill" (مشروع قانون التأهيل النفسي للصدمات السياسية) and the "The Bill for Collective Defense and Social Unity Against Political Subversion and Deviancy (مشروع قانون الدفاع الجماعي والوحدة الاجتماعية ضد التخريب والانحراف السياسي)".

Via both bills, the National Shura Council on Education has been given the authorization to allow the teaching of Communism and Ba'athism but monitor all academics, intellectuals, and schools to guard current and upcoming generations from deemed political subversions that can undermine the established political and social institutions of the Caliphate. The intention of allowing the teaching of both is to highlight the destructive nature of both main ideological camps and their variations to give visualization of the evils committed by both. Furthermore, both legislation will allow the National Shura Council of the Interior to coordinate with the National Shura Council on Justice to increase security protocols and mechanisms across USIN's society to enhance civil safety against political subversions i.e. Ba'athism, Communism, Liberal Democracies, Anarchists, and Anti-Caliphate organizations. The legislation also establishes the National Office of Internal Security (NOIS) to operate as a counterintelligence and counter-information agency to track and target political deviancy via HUMINT, COMINT, and SIGINT mechanisms for information and intelligence retrieval.

Expanded the already massive security apparatus within the Caliphate, primarily orchestrated by the Abdulrahman Family (currently the wealthiest family in the world), USIN covertly has begun utilizing mosques and farmer markets for intelligence hubs and hidden yet open fusion centers among the various intelligence agencies and administrations to combine resources and intelligence to combat political deviancy. Furthermore, part of this initiative has been approved to expand to the Internet to make sure organizations within USIN are not coordinating protests and potential attacks against the Caliphate while also utilizing IP addresses and digital footprints to investigate and potentially arrest with criminal charges individuals with violent intentions.

Moreover, the CJDP has authorized the construction of new statues and monuments within Oman and Yemen to pay respect those who died fighting against Ba'athism as well as the blood and treasure spilled during the Indo-UAR war primarily located in Southern Arabia. The statues will include soldiers and citizens together side by side in a circle with a broken hammer and sickle as well as destroyed symbols of Ba'athism placed in the middle of the circle with the flag of the Caliphate waving above said symbols. Additionally, the National Shura Council on Education and the National Shura Council on Digital Mass Media & Telecommunications have started joint partnerships to produce documentary videos on the history of Communism in the world and Ba'athism in the Middle East to speak truth on the lies and deceit of both ideologies.[/pre]

A FRIENDSHIP PACT AND A NEGOTIATION OFFER: FINNISH FOREIGN POLICY IN 2027

[list][sup]CLAWING BACK TO RESPECT

FINLAND—SPRING 2027[/sup][/list]

Finland has been clawing its way back to international respect and standing since the highly controversial Finnish occupation of Finnmark in 2025, which followed an episode in which the Committee for Cultural Survival—a Finnish government entity that has historically promoted the survival of Finno-Ugrian culture abroad—alleged that Norway had been erasing the culture of local Sami and Kven people. New headway was made in early 2027 when a friendship pact was finalized with the neighboring Eurasian Federation, after which the Finnish Foreign Ministry renewed its calls to foreign governments to consider the return of friendly relations with Finland. It reiterated its openness to meeting with foreign delegates and earnestly invited world leaders to visit Helsinki on state visits.

Foreign policy grew further complex as southern Europe locked itself in conflict. In the wake of Italian requirements to remove a blockade it has imposed on Yugoslavia—which refuses to remove Soviet nuclear weapons from its soil—the continent seems once more in the clutches of international tension. In a gesture of peace, Finland has offered itself as a site of mediation and called for de-escalation and fair negotiation on both sides. President Karvonen is said to have privately scoffed at the idea of Finland hosting peace talks, given its diminished national reputation, but the Foreign Ministry appears to see it as an opportunity for Finland to restore trust with the international community.

Angela Merkel in the first trip with German made high speed trains for Maghreb Railways

Asharken

The visit of Foreign Minister Merkel was the perfect moment for Germany and the Republic of Marghreb to express their closer relationship. Siemens and Maghreb Railways signed two years earlier a contract of production and exploitation of ICE-5 high speed trains. Merkel sat down with local Government members and discussed several topics including intensified economic relations and the support of Germany of an EU partnership.

In front of the train a press conference had been set up. Merkel expressed the fact that Germany wanted to represent a stable and steady partner for the Republic of Maghreb. In fact, the Minister announced investments of German companies in areas from tourism to transport of goods. Could Maghreb and Germany become stable allies for the future and guarantee a regional security and stability ? The answer seems to go for a yes.

[list][pre]| TURKEY STATE RAILWAYS LAYS GROUNDWORK FOR WEST-EAST HIGH-SPEED RAILWAY LINE TO LINK THE ANATOLIAN PENINSULA[/pre][/list]

[sub]President Recep Tayyip Erdogan cut the red ribbon outside a newly-constructed modern train station in Ankara, built as part of the new Trans-Anatolian Railway, or the West-East High Speed Railway Project. Led by Turkey State Railways, the Trans-Anatolian Railway project is a plan to construct a single dual-lane high-speed railway linking the cities of Izmir and Istanbul with the national capital of Ankara and other cities, all the way to cities near the Iranian and Iraqi borders, into the Kurdish regions of the Republic of Turkey. The multi-billion dollar project is expected to finish sometime in the early 2030s, with the laying down of groundwork components already occurring today. The railway is expected to be accompanied in construction and parallel by a regular freight railway, funded entirely by the Turkish private transportation and goods sector. Collectively known as the Trans-Anatolian Railway (TAR), the project is expected to bring tens of billions of dollars worth of oil and mineral riches out of eastern Turkey and to the industrialized west, where these riches can be transformed and exported for the benefit of the nation. It is also expected to allow for greater movement of trade and increased flow of goods and services in the rural eastern Turkey.[/sub]

[sub]Current high-speed lines from Izmir to Ankara will be integrated into the Trans-Anatolian Railway to reduce costs significantly and remove the need to connect Izmir and Ankara. However, a new Istanbul-Ankara high-speed line will be constructed due to the demand of the route thanks to the size and strategic and political importance of both cities. President Erdogan, who opened the new high-speed TAR train station in Ankara earlier this week, is expected to travel to Izmir and Istanbul, where similar stations have been under construction since mid-2026.[/sub]

In addition all French sanction on Helsinki have been ended and investments will begin returning to Finland. In addition both President Macron and President Karvonen have agreed to work together in countering the increasing threats of the Eurasian Federation. In a separate phone call to Abu Dhabi, President Macron struck a similar deal with Caliph Abdulrahman in which France and USIN will stay in each other's respective lanes in regards to African affairs; albeit that both nations have similar goals in regards to the economic and financial future of African nations. France will also end all sanctions against USIN and will reopen access to the French military industrial complex for repairs and replacement parts on any French originated equipment that operates in the air or on land within the Islamic Self Defense Force.

REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES | REPUBLIKA NG PILIPINAS

[list]| The Rise of Francisco "Isko" Moreno Domagoso, Mayor of Manila and Popular Presidential Candidate For 2028 | MARCH 2027[/list]

[list][list]| [sub]Francisco "Isko" Moreno Domagoso is a relatively young Filipino politician who made waves during the 2018 elections when he secured the post of Mayor of Manila, defeating incumbent mayor and former president Joseph Estrada. Domagoso was a mix of youth, charisma, and effectiveness when he assumed the post of mayor of the Philippine capital, and in 2022 it was widely rumored he would be a potential presidential candidate to contest incumbent President Benigno Aquino III. Between 2018 and 2022 he organized widescale cleaning drives and healthcare reform initiatives and helped pull Manila City out of the COVID-19 pandemic faster compared to other cities like Las Pinas and Quezon City, the latter of which became the hardest-hit city in the country, thanks to its population density and size. He unsuccessfully attempted to contest incumbent President Aquino and prominent Senator Grace Poe for the presidency in 2022 and maintained his post as Mayor of Manila.[/sub] |[/list][/list]

[list][list]| [sub]Now, with the 2028 elections coming up in May of next year and Aquino ineligible for a third term as president, many on social media are turning their eyes towards Isko Moreno as he potentially once more eyes the presidency of the Republic of the Philippines. According to a Rappler poll, 59% of Filipinos are in favor or strongly considering Domagoso as a presidential candidate, citing his ability to run the city of Manila, which since the end of the COVID-19 pandemic grew in size and quality of life tremendously. While President Aquino has yet to officially name his preferred successor, during an interview with CNN Philippines he hinted at Interim Vice President Grace Poe and Manila Mayor Isko Moreno as potential candidates. Domagoso's popularity among the Filipino people are clearly demonstrated in the #IskoForPresident hashtag now trending on Twitter and Facebook in the Philippines.[/sub] |[/list][/list]

KARVONEN AND MACRON SPEAK, AGREE ON FINNO-FRENCH PEACE

[list][sup]A HEALING BOND

FINLAND—SPRING 2027[/sup][/list]

The Finnish occupation of Finnmark (now the Finnish region of Ruija) tore a deep rift between France and Finland—France evacuated its embassy in Finland and declared that relations with Finland had been "destroyed" just days after the crisis began, and Finnish President Alvi Karvonen was quick to decry France as a place of "hatred and violence". By the end of 2025, the severe international consequences of the crisis on Finland's international reputation heavily burdened the government in Helsinki, which is still earnestly continuing its search to restore its international standing. A breakthrough was made in the spring of 2027, however, when a new French focus to mend relations with Finland gave hope to the beleaguered Finnish Foreign Ministry as the Western world has become increasingly intent on gathering allies to oppose the Eurasian Federation, with whom Finland was becoming dangerously close.

In the spirit of rapprochement, Presidents Macron and Karvonen met via teleconference to discuss the ongoing Yugoslav crisis in southern Europe, agreeing to bilaterally collaborate where possible to ensure peace in the region. President Karvonen repeatedly reiterated his hope for stability and, in return, received a guarantee that French economic sanctions would be lifted from Finland. The summit was hailed by Karvonen's supporters as a triumph, and Karvonen himself championed it across Finnish social media as a "vital step towards the return of Finland" to the international stage.

BA'ATH ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION ON GRAND EMIR HUSSEIN BIN ABDULLAH AL-ABDULRAHMAN, SON OF CALIPH; CALIPH ABDULLAH VOWS A FIERY VENGEANCE

باعاث حاول اغتيال الأمير حسين بن عبدالله العبد الرحمن نجل خليفة. خليفة عبد الله يتعهد بالانتقام الماكر

[sub]Caliph Abdullah bin al-Hussein Abdulrahman I | ABU DHABI, 2027 [/sub][/list]

[sub]| DAWLAT ALAITIHAD LIL'UMAT AL'IISLAMIA - ادولة الاتحاد للأمة الإسلامية |[/sub]

[pre]March 4, 2027 would become a day in infamy for the Caliphate. To celebrate the current processes of development and transition within Somaliland, Grand Emir Hussein bin Abdullah al-Abdulrahman, Successor to Caliph Abdullah II and Crown Prince to the USIN, attended a small military parade of about 2,000 personnel in Hargeisa while also taking a slight vacation at one of the new resorts recently opened on the Aden Gulf coast. As the motorcade of the Grand Emir arrived in downtown Hargeisa, NOIS and SARGC personnel would exit their security vehicles to implement a secure perimeter around the Grand Emir's vehicle as he driver exited to open Hussein's door. Exiting from the vehicle, the Grand Emir would smile and wave while proceeding to the Observation Deck to oversee the military parade. As the Grand Emir began to walk up the stairs of the Observation Deck, the sound of 3 gunshots would echo in the distance and as the concept of time slowed, the Grand Emir would freeze as 2 of his agents would fall to the ground. A few milliseconds later, the Grand Emir would fall to the ground from the 3rd bullet entering his shoulder and exiting out the back.

The screams from bystanders would be haunting as security personnel would scramble to lockdown the city while attempting to put the Grand Emir back into his motorcade and back to his private jet to return to the Peninsula for immediate treatment.The sight of blood at the Observation Deck shown on social media along with footage of the Grand Emir being carried into his vehicle and away from the scene caused a major gasp across the Caliphate. 15 minutes after the attack on the Grand Emir, a second video would be uploaded from a group that call themselves the Ba'ath Republican Front of Saladin (BRFS) to claim responsibility for the attack on the Grand Emir as wanting to send a message directly to the Caliph that the Abdulrahman Family is not as safe as they proclaim or think to be. Furthermore, BRFS has pledged to initiate an insurgency and coordinated targeting against the Caliphate to "weaken the beast manufactured by the delusions of grandeur and opulence".

Meanwhile, in Abu Dhabi, Caliph Abdullah bin al-Hussein Abdulrahman would be attending a very formal summit among businessmen and women to celebrate the lifting of the sanctions and embargo from France and vice versa. With the return of a status quo of trusted mutual partnership, many USIN economists are projecting a strong economic bounce back after economic growth dropped 1.4% during the economic war with Paris. As the Caliph gave his toast, high ranking officers of SARGC would barge into the conference room and whisper into the ear of the Caliph what has just transpired. The statements of his son being shot in Somaliland echoed in a loop within the Caliph's mind before his hand dropped his glass of wine, breaking the glass, while a slight tear began to muster on his cheek. Immediately, the Caliph's emotions went from sorrow to a fiery rage. Storming out of the conference room, the Caliph would enter into his motorcade and return to the Palace of Nations, where he convened the General Staff of the Students of Allah Revolutionary Guard Corps, Supreme Joint Chief of Staff of the Islamic Self-Defense Forces, and Directors of intelligence agencies to retrieve more information about what occurred. With confirmation that his son will recover and is okay, the Caliph decided that it would be best to subdue those responsible for this personal attack against the Caliph. Without hesitation, the Caliph would walk to the Media Room along with the SARGC General Staff, ISDF SJCS, and Intel Directors to make a direct statement to the Caliphate and the world:[/pre]

[list][sub]"My fellow brothers and sisters of Allah, people of the Caliphate, and beloved friends and loved ones around the world. There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is his messenger. All praise is due to Allah, We worship Him, We seek His help and His forgiveness, and we turn to Him in repentance. We seek refuge in Allah from the evil within ourselves and from our ill deeds. Whoever is guided by Allah can not be led astray, and whoever goes astray cannot be guided. Usually I am a man of jovial spirits when I am able to make direct addresses to our people and the world. But this is unfortunately not one of those occasions. It has come to my attention that my son, Grand Emir Hussein bin Abdullah al-Abdulrahman was shot in Hargeisa. I am most gracious to also announce that he will be okay and will survive his wound; however, that is not the main focus on this address. This address is directed at those who have attempted to take the life of my son: the Qur'an states the following: 'If you take revenge, then do so only in proportion to the wrong done to you. But if you bear it patiently, that is indeed best for those who are patient.' The Prophet Mohammad Peace Be Upon Him said that 'You will die the way you lived'. Your actions to target such innocence for the sake of political statements and notoriety has been tabulated and Allah will not have mercy on your soul or the souls of your supporters and provocateurs.[/sub][/list]

[list][sub]The Qu'ran says 'And We ordained for them therein a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds is legal retribution. But if anyone remits the retaliation by way of charity, it shall be for him an expiation. And whosoever does not judge by that which God has revealed, such are the wrongdoers.' You sought to take life from me...from the people of the Caliphate. And now by the will and validation from Allah the Benevolent and Merciful, the people of the Caliphate, including myself, will take life from you as proscribed by the Qur'an. You will not get away from this holy validation of proper justice to be handed to evildoers. You will be found whether it is here in the Caliphate or around the world. May Allah have mercy on your soul."[/sub][/list]

[pre]After his statement, the Caliph would walk away from his podium with his military and intelligence entourage to travel the National Shura Council on Defense and Security Integrity to receive further debriefs, military coordination, and to check up on the condition of his son. After the address from the Caliph, the streets of Abu Dhabi would become filled with mourners but also those demanding vengeance against those who committed such heinous actions against the Abdulrahman Family. Even in Somaliland, Somalis would come out in protest against the attempt assassination on the Grand Emir and demanded those responsible be held accountable for their actions.[/pre]

| NATIONAL ASSEMBLY OF MAGHREB |

The Western Mediterranean Crisis: 8 Months Later

Casablanca, Republic of Maghreb

February, 2027

_____________

The Western Mediterranean Crisis traumatized the nation and strangled the Makri Administration in its cradle. 6 months after his unexpected resumption of power, Abdelilah Benkirane has guided Maghreb through the tumult with a firm hand. To advance his policies, the veteran opposition Prime Minister must balance the interests of an Islamist majority government with few reasons to entertain his agenda, all while working against the clock of a term many don't want him to finish.

_____________

[list]The Prime Ministership of Abderazzak Makri was meant to be a seismic shift for Maghreb, and in many ways it was. He swept into office on an Islamist wave backed by the Caliphate, promising to open Maghreb up to the world but also to re-embrace MaghrebÂ’s Islamic roots. His foreign policy called for an ambitious foray into the global community on friendly terms. But its assertion of Maghrebi sovereignty over contested lands with Spain sparked problems. The resulting crisis culminated in a French-led punitive air campaign and MakriÂ’s resignation. Makri resigned to end the Crisis, protecting Maghreb and the entire Mediterranean from war and its destabilizing effects. In his place came Abdelilah Benkirane, a popular former Prime Minister, lauded for his moderacy and will for compromise.

The nation was shaken by the Crisis, and most trust in Europe rotted in an instant. France and Spain were seen as aggressors, with Italy as a kind of supporting role antagonist. The UK was and still is, seen as a sidekick of France. Curiously the Benelux became a hero of the conflict, vocally denouncing its neighbors' actions. Though quiet for the crisis, hope remains in Germany and its leading role in the EU. Trust in Russia and Paramerica was further solidified and the nation became even less interested in shifting the balance of positive relations with both states, though Soviet revanchism has raised questions. The Caliphate also emerged as a crucial partner, one earning MaghrebÂ’s deference through its social and political conduct. While the Crisis caused great distress in Maghreb, it also galvanized the nation, rallying further support behind the Ennahda majority.

It was in this context, of national unity but international division, that Abdelilah Benkirane assumed the office of Prime Minister. With the diplomatic status of Maghreb becoming his primary concern, Benkirane has embarked on a so-called “stabilization campaign.” The policy has two main pillars: expansion of diplomatic ties and expansion of the defense infrastructure. It has been controversial but has made progress, though more in some places than others.

The diplomatic arm of BenkiraneÂ’s policy has centered on strengthening ties with ideological allies and neighbors, as well as limited rapprochement with European powers. European rapprochement has been met with mixed success. A meeting was held with Spain that sought to reset relations, only to be nullified by the military coup. With France, relations were set to be normalized after France volunteered to finance MaghrebÂ’s first nuclear reactor. Benkirane canceled the deal in protest of French sanctions on the USIN, but the lifting of those sanctions has re-opened the possibility. To anti-Europe politicians, this was only seen as further evidence that Europe could not be trusted or communicated with, much less relied on. Still, Benkirane pressed forward with the policy, with both the KingÂ’s and MakriÂ’s support. Relations with Italy proceeded much more fluidly. They were never as damaged and both sides have demonstrated a willingness to improve them. The Tunis-Buvda Pipeline and a fishing rights deal have laid a solid groundwork for the continuance of positive relations. Benkirane has expressed support for further cooperation and negotiations are rumored to be underway.

Under Benkirane, Maghreb has also shown support for furthering cooperation and association with neighbors and ideological allies, like Sudan, Arabia, Turan, and Iran. Asked about rising tensions, particularly the current Yugoslav Missile Crisis, Benkirane said “There are situations that remind us of the past Cold War tensions. But it was amongst these tensions that the Arab-Berber brothers of Maghreb came together to create this great nation. If there is to be another Cold War, Maghreb will stand strong and stand together with its allies and partners. New allegiances and relationships may be necessary, and I won't hesitate to pursue them.”

Coupled with the elevation of Khalifa Haftar to the role of Supreme Commander under Makri, the military has seen renewed attention under Benkirane. The total military budget was increased by $6 billion dollars for 2027, and massive procurements have been approved. The Navy has been revamped through the acquisition of modern frigates and destroyers from the Caliph, as well as purchases of Paramerican and Russian airpower. The pinnacle was the purchase of the former HMS Illustrious, a former British aircraft carrier renamed MNS Casablanca. The carrier has become something of a scandal as its age has plagued it with maintenance costs and questions about its operational viability and leaks suggests the Navy is evaluating other options to host its fleet of Harrier GR.9 Jump Jets. Heightened military spending was outright demanded following the Crisis, but a full 30% increase was controversial to the Assembly.

And therein lies the political gamble of Benkirane’s ‘stabilization campaign.’ The Ennahda majority is in favor of increased military spending and alignment with neighbors, but is highly skeptical of any rapprochement or furthered relations with Europe. The moderate opposition on the other hand generally supports repairing foreign relations and joining with neighbors, but cannot tolerate the budgetary stress of increased military funding. As long as the policy continues, Benkirane must toe the line between compromising with both or satisfying neither. To do this, he has to organize political concessions to Ennahda. To clear the way for a positive vote on European rapprochement agreements, Benkirane has agreed to step aside while Ennahda advances a conservative rewrite of the Moudawana, the family code. The current proposals threaten advances in women's rights and legal equality and protect discriminatory policies against the LGBT community. Benkirane’s support of the rewrite has threatened his reputation as a social moderate but has been judged as a chance worth taking. Keeping the allegiance of his opposition allies, he’s promised to find a way to offset the financial strain of heightened defense spending.

On top of all of this, Benkirane must pursue other policies. HeÂ’s called for massive investments into clean energy, primarily solar and wind energy, where Maghreb enjoys the world's largest possible reserves. HeÂ’s also promised the country's first energy-producing nuclear reactors, in addition to existing research reactors. This aims to end Maghrebi reliance on coal imports, as well as free more oil and natural gas for export. In the long term, government planners hope to transfer Maghreb away from fossil fuel consumption entirely, establishing energy independence and becoming a net exporter of electricity. This also pairs with BenkiraneÂ’s support of increased government investment in economic diversification, as he hopes to blunt the impact of lost fossil fuel exports.

Success in these wishes hinges on support from Makri and King Mohammed, his primary supporters in government. Makri represents a more moderate wing of Ennadha, which recognizes the necessity of a stable Prime Minister. Others within the majority would wish to oust him in favor of another Islamist. Both Makri and the King have repeatedly advocated BenkiraneÂ’s initiatives to this wing of Ennahda. But at the end of the day, the Ennadha have a majority, and do not need to humor them.

Throwing a 700,000 square kilometer wrench into his agenda is the death of Muammar Gaddafi. On a dime, Benkirane had to reorient to the Libyan Civil War, seizing the chance to bring Libya into the Maghrebi fold. 20,000 Maghrebi troops are now prosecuting the war and Supreme Commander Haftar has been given oversight on the integration of Libyan forces into the Maghrebi military. The pacification of ethnic rebels and integration of Libya into Maghreb may take years and is sure to be a hot-button topic in the 2030 Assembly elections. If Benkirane can secure short-term peace and restore stability to an area Maghreb sees as its natural land, heÂ’ll have earned a major foreign and domestic win. ItÂ’s also a serious strategic gain, capitalizing on LibyaÂ’s massive oil export economy. To some, it would only deepen Maghrebi dependency on oil and natural gas.

Further complicating his place is the context in which Benkirane assumed office in 2026. He already served as Prime Minister for most of the 2010s. He was an early proponent of ending isolationism, but the controversial nature of the policy at the time led to him being unseated in favor of a conservative isolationist. The isolationist was unseated by former Prime Minister Ouyahia who promised to end isolationism, only to be replaced by Makri in the 2026 elections. Benkirane continued the tradition of calling on popular veteran leaders in times of crisis and took his seat. But like Ouyahia, he was not elected in a normal Parliamentary election. Once things are seen as ‘stable enough’ opponents are likely to call for him to step down. In their eyes, he was called on only as an interim leader, not a permanent one. At this time no such calls are being made, but with three and a half years till the 2030 elections, they are sure to come eventually.

ITALIA REFORMS POLITICAL RULES TO PHASE OUT THE OLD GUARD

MARCH 2027

The Italian Old Guard, out of touch and more left leaning due to their political experience gained in the late 70s onwards have now been handed their papers by the Government as it enacts its newest Reform package to increase local representation. The new Rules state that Politicians must retire by the time they reach the age of 60, or in the case of already existing Politicians may not run in any additional elections. This has been done in an attempt to decrease the average age and therefore increase relatability between the voter and representatives. As a result of the changes only Individuals between the ages of 20 and 55, a much more narrow age grouping that currently. While many left wing Groups have expressed concern as it would remove many members of their own Parties, the Reforms consist of similar promises they themselves made to their voters, and thus public opinion as a whole is positive towards the change.

One additional part of the Reform package are new rules stating that Politicians shall have their wages increased by 20%, however in exchange they are not permitted to accept any non government sanctioned gifts or services. This includes Hotels, Dinner invitations, Speaker fees, attendance fees or any other situation in which the politician receives goods and services in an obviously corrupt fashion. This also included further specification that Politicians may no longer buy any form of Stocks outside of normal Government Bonds, as otherwise they could utilize insider information to profit from a market hiccup or unexpected rise. All the changes in the Package were praised by public watchdogs, who claimed it was a step in the right direction for Italian integrity and direct representation of the Italian People. Recommendations have gone out from the Italian Government to its Provincial Governments to adopt the same Regulations, and while Slovenia and Albania have signaled they are supportive of the move Croatia has thus far refused the recommendation on "Sovereignty" grounds.

BORDER WALL TO BE CONSTRUCTED ON YUGOSLAV BORDER

MARCH 2027

At the behest of the Croatian and Slovenian Governments, Italy has passed a Bill to complete and fund a Wall along the Borders of Yugoslavia-Albania & Yugoslavia-Croatia/Slovenia. To consist of two separate six foot tall Steel Fences topped with Barbed Wire, with Guard Posts every 500 meters, its total cost is estimated at 7.5 Billion USD. Under pressure for how it is built however, Italy had to specify that only construction Companies from the Croatia, Slovenia and Albania shall be used for their respective portions of the Border Wall. Meant to give a hard Border with Yugoslavia to replace the current open Border state, it shall prevent Yugoslav Citizens from sneaking in or out of the respective Border States and enable the Adriatic Community to put a final stop to all migration and movement westwards from Yugoslavia. Importantly for Croatia and Albania however, due to the length of the Border it shall provide an estimated 12,000 Jobs in Croatia and another 19,000 in Albania in both security and security related roles, including additional Guards to be hired to man the Guard Towers.

The Italian Foreign Ministry made only this statement with regards to the Wall, construction of which is to commence immediately and shall take 12 months of work to complete :

[list]"We have given the Yugoslav Regime enough time to adhere to our demands regarding the Nuclear Weapons and Ballistic Missiles present on their territory, they have not just ignored said request but flatly denied to abide by it in any manner. Therefore to accompany our sea and air-borne blockade of the Country we shall now strictly enforce a land-born blockade. As a result Yugoslavia and its Citizens will be denied any and all use of Air Sea or Land routes to the west of their Country, resigning them to move around the Adriatic Community at great cost."

[sub]King Faisal bin Hussein | AMMAN, 2027 [/sub][/list]

[sub]| ALMAMLAKAT AL'URDUNIYAT ALHASHIMIA - االمملكة الأردنية الهاشمية|[/sub]

[pre]The land of Hashemites is in peril. The spontaneous implosion of the Arab Union of the Fertile Crescent (AUFC) rendered a state of confusion and worry, especially in Jordan. The growing power of the Union-State of Islamic Nations further caused ripples through the Jordanian society, creating a tug and pull scenario among social groups in Amman. Taking advantage of the situation, Faisal bin Hussein, the brother of the Caliph, initiated a coup in February 2026 to seize power and return Jordan to a status quo. The state of affairs within Amman is quite unstable, especially in the Parliament, where multiple factions have formed and blocked means of progress via filibustering and brawls on the parliamentary floor. The paralysis of the legislative decimated opportunities for budgets and reconstruction initiatives, prompting gradually increasing protests.[/pre]

APRIL TO AUGUST 2026

[pre]From April to July 2026, the Jordanian Parliament did not hold a single session but rather Members of Parliament initiated their own rallies to their growing constituents; slowly revealing to the politically handicapped King what the true political realities of the Kingdom was: Ba'aths & Communists in the North, Northeast, and Central Jordan, Islamic Abdulrahmanists in Amman and Central Jordan, Bedouin Arab tribal militias in Southern Jordan, and Liberal Democrats in Southern and Northern Jordan.

The clear lines of demarcation within Jordan torn families and friends apart as digital media platforms became flash points for arguments and death threats. Furthermore, attempts by the King to appeal for civil unity and decreased tensions only increased plausible violence as a poll indicated only 30% of the country support and recognize Faisal bin Hussein as their King while the remaining 70% either do not recognize Faisal bin Hussein as King, wants to eradicate the status of the royal family, or wants Abdullah II and the Abdulrahman Family to seize the Jordanian Kingdom into the Caliphate. Jordanian news media would televise Jordanians and Palestinians growing progressively angry in public about the lack of strength and authority being demonstrated by Faisal bin Hussein. The last public relation stunt from Faisal bin Hussein occurred on July 17 as he attempted to reiterate the history of Jordan and the innate strength to overcome all odds, division, and chaos for the greater good. The direct aftermath of the July 17 televised address did settle tensions until August 10, where Jordanian Communists and Ba'aths held a provocative rally in Amman, which is heavily Islamic Abdulrahmanist, with posters and statements illustrating Abdullah II as a "beast of capitalist control and artificial grievances of 65 years ago". The Communists and Ba'aths' rally provoked two major clashes resulting in 3 deaths and 20 injured. The televised clashes wrenched hearts in areas of Jordan outside of Amman, prompting further solidification of the various factions across Jordan, including community and village militias to guard against potential ideological adversaries. At this point, Faisal bin Hussein made the choice to call in the Jordanian Royal Army to secure and establish a perimeter around Amman in addition to deployments of counterinsurgency operatives across the country. However, a problem would ensue.[/pre]

AUGUST TO NOVEMBER 2026

[pre]The initial deployments of security personnel into Amman was a success with Islamic Abdulrahmanists feeling slightly more secure; however, leaked reports from within the Ministry of Defense reported high defection rates to either the Ba'aths/Communists, Liberal Democrats, Nationalists, and Bedouin Tribal Militias. The leaked memo instigated a panic among the high command, who either prompted their own defection, resignation, or declared open defiance to the King. Feeling like a snake stuck in a corner, the King took it upon himself to initiate emergency powers and dissolved the Parliament while declaring a level 1 state of emergency as groups of people armed with baseball bats, crowbars, and knives/machetes would appear in the streets of Amman patrolling communities and standing outside government buildings.

It would become progressively clear the security apparatus within the Kingdom was deteriorating at a rapid pace. Sitting in his office in Amman, King Faisal bin Hussein would need to make a clear decision on what to do if he sought to maintain his position as King of Jordan but also save his country from impending implosion. The first of his decisions was to attempt to call his brother, Caliph Abdullah bin al-Hussein Abdulrahman; however, there was no success to reach Abu Dhabi. The first clash between security forces and the Ba'aths would occur on October 24, 2026 in Al-Mafraq, where armed Ba'ath guards equipped with stolen JAR 556 assault rifles from a police station began a siege at the town hall. The outcome would be 8 Ba'aths dead, 15 police personnel dead, and 45 injured. The second clash would occur from October 27-November 5 between the Liberal Democrats and Ba'aths in the following areas:[/pre]

[list][sub]Dana: 20 dead; 45 injured

Qraiqreh: 5 dead; 14 injured

Basira: 55 dead; 30 injured

Ar-Rishah: 3 dead; 25 injured[/sub][/list]

[pre]The nine days of violence stained the public image of the Amman government as public confidence tanked while economic growth came to a standstill.[/pre]

DECEMBER 2026 TO FEBRUARY 2027

[pre]The societal schisms within Jordan reached a boiling point as the steam of polarization grew in momentum. Continual protesting and rioting would occur as the legitimacy of Amman being the powerbroker of the country began to fade away by the moment. The real shift in events would be the illegitimate declaration of secession from Jordan by the Ba'aths and Communists despite their territories being separated. The formation of the Arab People's Republic of Jordan on December 20, 2026 exponentially provoked and increased violence as the Islamic Abdulrahmanists and supporters of Faisal bin Hussein gathered in Amman and volunteered to establish militias within the Amman province while the Bedouin Arab tribal militias declared that any and all factions that seek to infiltrate their southern lands will be met with violence and resistance. The declaration of the Arab People's Republic of Jordan was made by Akram al-Homsi, who is the Regional Secretary of the Jordanian Regional Command of the Jordanian branch of the Ba'ath Party. Akram al-Homsi announced in his address the unification of Jordanian Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party, Arab Ba'ath Progressive Party, and the Jordanian Democratic People's Party into a much larger Jordanian Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party (totaling 60,000 members; 5,600 militants). With the Jordanian Communist Party weakened due to Akram al-Homsi, JCP Secretary Faraj Al-Tameezi revealed that they will follow the command and governance of the JASBP. In his secondary address, the Ba'aths hope to see support from Moscow and/or China to ensure their success in occupying all of Jordan and form a fully united Arab People's Republic of Jordan.

Meanwhile, the Islamic Action Front of Jordan (liberal democrats) also declared their independence on January 1, 2027 to form the Federal Republic of Jordan with Hamza Mansour as Acting President and Hamam Saeed as Acting Vice-President. For the IAF, their only chance of survival and fighting back would be to seek the assistance of Israel to undermine the Ba'aths and hopefully the Islamic Abdulrahmanists in the capital region. Furthermore, their hope is that the Bedouin Arab militias are able to remain neutral and serve as a buffer against any potential support from USIN to Amman if it were to come.

The Jordanian Nationalists would declare the Federation of Jordan on January 25, 2027 by the National Current Party, led by Chairman Salah Rsheedat , who declared himself President and Marshal of the Jordanian Federation. Positioned directly below the Islamic Abdulrahmanist Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in Amman, the Nationalists determined it appropriate to not fully align with them nor the liberal democrats or the ba'aths but rather seek partnerships with the Bedouin Arabs to win them over with the hope the Bedouins will allow the Nationalists to incorporate their lands together.

Finally, King Faisal bin Hussein would continue to declare the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan as the legitimate government and authority over the lands; further indicating the illegitimacy of the various factions who declared independence from Amman. With the Jordanian Arab Party, National Current Party, Al Resalah Party, and the Muslim Centre Party swarming into Amman, King Faisal bin Hussein would begin the forming of a new government with the new political parties in Amman while also condemning all other factions. King Faisal would attempt again to phone Abu Dhabi; however, the King would only be successful in getting the Secretary of the Office of the Prime Minister instead of the Caliph. Starting to get agitated, the King had to prove he was going to fight and seek the unity of Jordan under his consolidated rule. Therefore, King Faisal decided to go on an offensive while also naming the new Prime Minister and Chairman of the Royal Jordanian Joint Chiefs of Staff Lieutenant General Yousef Huneiti. Faisal would target a Ba'athist outpost in Znaya with JAR 556 Assault Rifles and 5 x Al-Fares 6x6 Armored Vehicles with a tremendous success; however, he would make the call not to proceed but rather attack and return back to the Amman province.[/pre]

MARCH 2027

[pre]March would begin immediately as potentially the darkest month of the unofficial civil war as the Ba'aths and Nationalists would begin their border skirmishes and non-stop clashes while the Ba'aths sought retaliation against the King for the Znaya attack. The Nationalists would receive some logistical support from the Bedouins as they would allow their villages to be used for supply storage in exchange for weapons and arms. The largest attack thus far since the start of the polarization would be a Ba'ath coordinated SBIED (suicide bound improvised explosive device) attack at a border security checkpoint in Dhiban killing 145 people and injuring 189. The terrorist attack would send shockwaves across Jordan as the new understanding was that the country was officially becoming a failed state and a civil war was in the midst.

It was not until the assassination attempt of Caliph Abdullah bin al-Hussein Abdulrahman's son in Hargeisa that things started to escalate and communication channels in Abu Dhabi started to pick up. The attack on the nephew of King Faisal reportedly sent the King into an outrage and declared Ba'athism a poison to be eradicated while also fully embracing Islamo-Populist Abdulrahmanism as he King Faisal declared official recognition of Abdullah bin al-Hussein Abdulrahman as the legitimate Caliph and successor of the Prophet Mohammad Peace Be Upon Him, their cousin. The attempted assassination of his nephew as well as the recognizing of the Caliph bolstered the popularity of the King within the Amman province while increasing the morale among those not defected. After his recognition of his brother as Caliph and the near assassination of his nephew, King Faisal and his brother the Caliph finally had an extensive 3 hour conversation about the current conditions of the Jordan, the Ba'ath threat, and the status of their relatives still remaining in Jordan.

The Caliph would inform King Faisal that if he seeks intervention by the Caliphate then he must make an official request to begin the process so Abu Dhabi can determine the best course of action. Additionally, the Caliph informed the King that the only true desire he has is the unification of Jordan with the Caliphate; however, in exchange for his cooperation in achieving this final goal, the King would be elevated to an Emir within the Caliphate and oversee the Jordanian provinces. The Caliph indicated that if his brother did not agree to this stipulation, then USIN would intervene regardless but would seek his replacement. With partial reluctance, the King would agree to the stipulation before hanging up the phone. After his phone conversation, the Caliph would make his public address vowing vengeance against the Ba'aths that attempted assassination of his son as well as any supporters for their agenda.[/pre]

[pre]March 2027 | Presidential Palace, Ankara, Republic of Turkey[/pre]

[list][pre]| SHOOTING BY FAR-LEFT PAN-ARABISTS LEAVE 15 DEAD, 29 INJURED, SPARKING OUTRAGE AGAINST 'DESTABILIZING ELEMENTS IN THE MIDDLE EAST'[/pre][/list]

[sub]The echoes of the cries and screaming still hung over the area - the memory of it at least - as Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan solemnly made his way through the crowd of onlookers outside an Islamic mosque in Ankara, where a shooting by far-left Pan-Arabists had left 15 civilians dead and 29 severely injured, with three of those injured in a critical condition. A radical far-left communist Pan-Arabist group in Turkey had claimed responsibility for the attack through social media a few days earlier. The shooting sparked outrage on social media and physically in Turkey itself, with tens of thousands protesting outside the headquarters and homes of prominent left-wing parties and politicians, demanding their resignation. The sudden spike in anti-socialist sentiment in the country was also backed by most probably false yet still believed rumors that left-wing elements, the Russians potentially, would be supporting socialist Kurdish rebels in the south. President Erdogan used the anti-socialist sentiment to his advantage, speaking out against the left-wing in Turkey and calling them 'traitors of the Republic', and demanded their resignation from office. The AKP also dropped all rhetoric of cooperation with the TKB opposition, led by Meral Aksener, and revived its neo-Ottoman rhetoric.[/sub]

[sub]President Erdogan spoke from a platform outside the site of the shooting, walls riddled with bullet holes and remnants of blood on the floor. Inside, benches were overturned and pillars damaged by bullet holes as well. The forward area, where the imam led the prayers, was the most affected. The shrine in the back was damaged, chairs overturned and police officers milling about, investigating the crime scene. It had already been five days since the attacks, yet police were still in the process of investigating. President Erdogan spoke at length on the 'threat of socialist and destabilizing elements to Turkey and stability and regional security in the Middle East'. He lashed out at 'extremist far-right and far-left movements', calling them 'detrimental to Middle Eastern progress'. He positioned himself, the AKP, and the Turkish Government as a force for peace and stability, a force of 'centrism and conservatism', a force 'which does not respect and very strongly leads the fight against extremism in Islam and the Middle Eastern region'.[/sub]

[sub]Turks all over the country came out in strong support for Erdogan's anti-extremist rhetoric, with a survey showing over 61% of Turks approving of Erdogan's recent message to the world. While demonstrations against far-right, far-left, ultranationalist and extremist parties, groups and ideologies continue in the country, demanding for them to be removed from the country in its entirety, the Turkish Republic remains relatively stable, with opposition or disapproval of anti-extremist rhetoric and actions being at an all-time low. In the words of a Turkish news broadcaster, 'the mosque attacks in Ankara has served as a catalyst for anti-extremist sentiment in Turkey, potentially to the detriment of Turkey-USIN relations as Jordan falls into civil war'.[/sub]

ITALY SIGNALS TO USIN THAT IT IS PREPARED FOR ASSISTANCE IN JORDAN

MARCH 2027

Italy, following closely behind France after having completed discussions with its USIN counterparts, has declared that is is willing and able to assist in any way possible with the ongoing crisis in Jordan. Such assistance will range from providing discounts on needed weapons and replacement parts, to direct force implementation if that is what USIN wishes to see or permit. Oh the whole the Italian assistance is taking a much more passive line compared to the Congo where Italy was actively creating its own safe zone for the people of the Congo themselves. Especially due to recently created economic and Diplomatic ties in the middle eastern Region, Italy wants to see maintained stability in said region and currently USIN and Iran are the only two States capable of providing that on a local level.

[pre]February, 2026 | Sudanese Air Force Headquarters Of Defense Ministry Complex, Hay Al-Matar on Alkiada Road - Khartoum, United Federal Republic of Sudan[/pre]

NEW PLANE DEALS

Following a number of negations between officials of the Sudanese government and weapons manufacturers in the Maghreb (Asharken) and the United States (Paramountica), the Sudanese Air Force has announced the approval of a deal between Sudan and the Maghreb for the purchasing of 50X Mirage F1 MF2000 fighter aircrafts for the price of $900 Million. The deal marks one of many steps taken by both Khartoum and Casablanca for the formation of stronger relations between both countries.

Another deal has been announced by the Air Force with the purchasing of yet another bunch of 50X McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet multi role fighter aircrafts for what has been called an “undisclosed amount” from the United States of Paramerica. Despite the controversy surrounding the lack of government transparency on the amount used for the purchasing of the F-18 jets, this deal was also seen as a great step in the formation of stronger and even closer relations between Khartoum and Washington, especially at a time where the Sudanese Military seeks to find a more reliable and efficient military arms suppliers within their allies in Washington.

[sub]King Faisal bin Hussein | AMMAN, 2027 [/sub][/list]

[sub]| ALMAMLAKAT AL'URDUNIYAT ALHASHIMIA - االمملكة الأردنية الهاشمية|[/sub]

[pre]The land of Hashemites is in peril. The spontaneous implosion of the Arab Union of the Fertile Crescent (AUFC) rendered a state of confusion and worry, especially in Jordan. The growing power of the Union-State of Islamic Nations further caused ripples through the Jordanian society, creating a tug and pull scenario among social groups in Amman. Taking advantage of the situation, Faisal bin Hussein, the brother of the Caliph, initiated a coup in February 2026 to seize power and return Jordan to a status quo. The state of affairs within Amman is quite unstable, especially in the Parliament, where multiple factions have formed and blocked means of progress via filibustering and brawls on the parliamentary floor. The paralysis of the legislative decimated opportunities for budgets and reconstruction initiatives, prompting gradually increasing protests.[/pre]

APRIL TO AUGUST 2026

[pre]From April to July 2026, the Jordanian Parliament did not hold a single session but rather Members of Parliament initiated their own rallies to their growing constituents; slowly revealing to the politically handicapped King what the true political realities of the Kingdom was: Ba'aths & Communists in the North, Northeast, and Central Jordan, Islamic Abdulrahmanists in Amman and Central Jordan, Bedouin Arab tribal militias in Southern Jordan, and Liberal Democrats in Southern and Northern Jordan.

The clear lines of demarcation within Jordan torn families and friends apart as digital media platforms became flash points for arguments and death threats. Furthermore, attempts by the King to appeal for civil unity and decreased tensions only increased plausible violence as a poll indicated only 30% of the country support and recognize Faisal bin Hussein as their King while the remaining 70% either do not recognize Faisal bin Hussein as King, wants to eradicate the status of the royal family, or wants Abdullah II and the Abdulrahman Family to seize the Jordanian Kingdom into the Caliphate. Jordanian news media would televise Jordanians and Palestinians growing progressively angry in public about the lack of strength and authority being demonstrated by Faisal bin Hussein. The last public relation stunt from Faisal bin Hussein occurred on July 17 as he attempted to reiterate the history of Jordan and the innate strength to overcome all odds, division, and chaos for the greater good. The direct aftermath of the July 17 televised address did settle tensions until August 10, where Jordanian Communists and Ba'aths held a provocative rally in Amman, which is heavily Islamic Abdulrahmanist, with posters and statements illustrating Abdullah II as a "beast of capitalist control and artificial grievances of 65 years ago". The Communists and Ba'aths' rally provoked two major clashes resulting in 3 deaths and 20 injured. The televised clashes wrenched hearts in areas of Jordan outside of Amman, prompting further solidification of the various factions across Jordan, including community and village militias to guard against potential ideological adversaries. At this point, Faisal bin Hussein made the choice to call in the Jordanian Royal Army to secure and establish a perimeter around Amman in addition to deployments of counterinsurgency operatives across the country. However, a problem would ensue.[/pre]

AUGUST TO NOVEMBER 2026

[pre]The initial deployments of security personnel into Amman was a success with Islamic Abdulrahmanists feeling slightly more secure; however, leaked reports from within the Ministry of Defense reported high defection rates to either the Ba'aths/Communists, Liberal Democrats, Nationalists, and Bedouin Tribal Militias. The leaked memo instigated a panic among the high command, who either prompted their own defection, resignation, or declared open defiance to the King. Feeling like a snake stuck in a corner, the King took it upon himself to initiate emergency powers and dissolved the Parliament while declaring a level 1 state of emergency as groups of people armed with baseball bats, crowbars, and knives/machetes would appear in the streets of Amman patrolling communities and standing outside government buildings.

It would become progressively clear the security apparatus within the Kingdom was deteriorating at a rapid pace. Sitting in his office in Amman, King Faisal bin Hussein would need to make a clear decision on what to do if he sought to maintain his position as King of Jordan but also save his country from impending implosion. The first of his decisions was to attempt to call his brother, Caliph Abdullah bin al-Hussein Abdulrahman; however, there was no success to reach Abu Dhabi. The first clash between security forces and the Ba'aths would occur on October 24, 2026 in Al-Mafraq, where armed Ba'ath guards equipped with stolen JAR 556 assault rifles from a police station began a siege at the town hall. The outcome would be 8 Ba'aths dead, 15 police personnel dead, and 45 injured. The second clash would occur from October 27-November 5 between the Liberal Democrats and Ba'aths in the following areas:[/pre]

[list][sub]Dana: 20 dead; 45 injured

Qraiqreh: 5 dead; 14 injured

Basira: 55 dead; 30 injured

Ar-Rishah: 3 dead; 25 injured[/sub][/list]

[pre]The nine days of violence stained the public image of the Amman government as public confidence tanked while economic growth came to a standstill.[/pre]

DECEMBER 2026 TO FEBRUARY 2027

[pre]The societal schisms within Jordan reached a boiling point as the steam of polarization grew in momentum. Continual protesting and rioting would occur as the legitimacy of Amman being the powerbroker of the country began to fade away by the moment. The real shift in events would be the illegitimate declaration of secession from Jordan by the Ba'aths and Communists despite their territories being separated. The formation of the Arab People's Republic of Jordan on December 20, 2026 exponentially provoked and increased violence as the Islamic Abdulrahmanists and supporters of Faisal bin Hussein gathered in Amman and volunteered to establish militias within the Amman province while the Bedouin Arab tribal militias declared that any and all factions that seek to infiltrate their southern lands will be met with violence and resistance. The declaration of the Arab People's Republic of Jordan was made by Akram al-Homsi, who is the Regional Secretary of the Jordanian Regional Command of the Jordanian branch of the Ba'ath Party. Akram al-Homsi announced in his address the unification of Jordanian Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party, Arab Ba'ath Progressive Party, and the Jordanian Democratic People's Party into a much larger Jordanian Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party (totaling 60,000 members; 5,600 militants). With the Jordanian Communist Party weakened due to Akram al-Homsi, JCP Secretary Faraj Al-Tameezi revealed that they will follow the command and governance of the JASBP. In his secondary address, the Ba'aths hope to see support from Moscow and/or China to ensure their success in occupying all of Jordan and form a fully united Arab People's Republic of Jordan.

Meanwhile, the Islamic Action Front of Jordan (liberal democrats) also declared their independence on January 1, 2027 to form the Federal Republic of Jordan with Hamza Mansour as Acting President and Hamam Saeed as Acting Vice-President. For the IAF, their only chance of survival and fighting back would be to seek the assistance of Israel to undermine the Ba'aths and hopefully the Islamic Abdulrahmanists in the capital region. Furthermore, their hope is that the Bedouin Arab militias are able to remain neutral and serve as a buffer against any potential support from USIN to Amman if it were to come.

The Jordanian Nationalists would declare the Federation of Jordan on January 25, 2027 by the National Current Party, led by Chairman Salah Rsheedat , who declared himself President and Marshal of the Jordanian Federation. Positioned directly below the Islamic Abdulrahmanist Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in Amman, the Nationalists determined it appropriate to not fully align with them nor the liberal democrats or the ba'aths but rather seek partnerships with the Bedouin Arabs to win them over with the hope the Bedouins will allow the Nationalists to incorporate their lands together.

Finally, King Faisal bin Hussein would continue to declare the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan as the legitimate government and authority over the lands; further indicating the illegitimacy of the various factions who declared independence from Amman. With the Jordanian Arab Party, National Current Party, Al Resalah Party, and the Muslim Centre Party swarming into Amman, King Faisal bin Hussein would begin the forming of a new government with the new political parties in Amman while also condemning all other factions. King Faisal would attempt again to phone Abu Dhabi; however, the King would only be successful in getting the Secretary of the Office of the Prime Minister instead of the Caliph. Starting to get agitated, the King had to prove he was going to fight and seek the unity of Jordan under his consolidated rule. Therefore, King Faisal decided to go on an offensive while also naming the new Prime Minister and Chairman of the Royal Jordanian Joint Chiefs of Staff Lieutenant General Yousef Huneiti. Faisal would target a Ba'athist outpost in Znaya with JAR 556 Assault Rifles and 5 x Al-Fares 6x6 Armored Vehicles with a tremendous success; however, he would make the call not to proceed but rather attack and return back to the Amman province.[/pre]

MARCH 2027

[pre]March would begin immediately as potentially the darkest month of the unofficial civil war as the Ba'aths and Nationalists would begin their border skirmishes and non-stop clashes while the Ba'aths sought retaliation against the King for the Znaya attack. The Nationalists would receive some logistical support from the Bedouins as they would allow their villages to be used for supply storage in exchange for weapons and arms. The largest attack thus far since the start of the polarization would be a Ba'ath coordinated SBIED (suicide bound improvised explosive device) attack at a border security checkpoint in Dhiban killing 145 people and injuring 189. The terrorist attack would send shockwaves across Jordan as the new understanding was that the country was officially becoming a failed state and a civil war was in the midst.

It was not until the assassination attempt of Caliph Abdullah bin al-Hussein Abdulrahman's son in Hargeisa that things started to escalate and communication channels in Abu Dhabi started to pick up. The attack on the nephew of King Faisal reportedly sent the King into an outrage and declared Ba'athism a poison to be eradicated while also fully embracing Islamo-Populist Abdulrahmanism as he King Faisal declared official recognition of Abdullah bin al-Hussein Abdulrahman as the legitimate Caliph and successor of the Prophet Mohammad Peace Be Upon Him, their cousin. The attempted assassination of his nephew as well as the recognizing of the Caliph bolstered the popularity of the King within the Amman province while increasing the morale among those not defected. After his recognition of his brother as Caliph and the near assassination of his nephew, King Faisal and his brother the Caliph finally had an extensive 3 hour conversation about the current conditions of the Jordan, the Ba'ath threat, and the status of their relatives still remaining in Jordan.

The Caliph would inform King Faisal that if he seeks intervention by the Caliphate then he must make an official request to begin the process so Abu Dhabi can determine the best course of action. Additionally, the Caliph informed the King that the only true desire he has is the unification of Jordan with the Caliphate; however, in exchange for his cooperation in achieving this final goal, the King would be elevated to an Emir within the Caliphate and oversee the Jordanian provinces. The Caliph indicated that if his brother did not agree to this stipulation, then USIN would intervene regardless but would seek his replacement. With partial reluctance, the King would agree to the stipulation before hanging up the phone. After his phone conversation, the Caliph would make his public address vowing vengeance against the Ba'aths that attempted assassination of his son as well as any supporters for their agenda.[/pre]

Caliph Abdullah bin al-Hussein Abdulrahman Authorizes IADF Strikes in Ba'ath Jordanian Territory

الخليفة عبد الله بن الحسين عبد الرحمن يأذن بضربات القوات الجوية الإسرائيلية في أراضي حزب البعث الأردنية

[sub]Caliph Abdullah bin al-Hussein Abdulrahman I | ABU DHABI, 2027 [/sub][/list]

[sub]| DAWLAT ALAITIHAD LIL'UMAT AL'IISLAMIA - ادولة الاتحاد للأمة الإسلامية |[/sub]

[pre]At the Palace of Nations in Abu Dhabi, the entirety of the Supreme Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Islamic Self-Defense Force as well as the General Staff of the Students of Allah Revolutionary Guard Corps would be present within one of the conference rooms. The entry of the Caliph into the room would be met with pure silence and everyone standing at attention. Taking his seat, the Caliph would be stern as he whispered a few things to Prime Minister Mohammed Al-Thani before beginning. With clearing his throat, the Caliph would give a nod for everyone else in the room to take their seats and for the meeting to begin. With a second nod, the monitors and large screens would activate visual imagery from satellites repositioned above Jordan.

For 20-30 minutes, the first round of deliberations would occur as cases would be heard ranging from full on ground and air invasion to predominate ground invasion to predominate air campaigns to non-intervention. Conversations with Italy and France would occur during the meeting, where both nations have indicated they are prepared and ready to assist the Caliphate in military operations if needed. The Caliph further understood that said operations must be with precision and tactical prowess to diminish collateral damage and total destruction of infrastructure and resource deposits. With this understanding, the Caliph deemed it appropriate to begin USIN operations in Jordan with airstrikes prior to any consideration of ground force deployment. The Caliph indicated he wanted to give his brother in Amman an opportunity to take control of the battlefield before USIN deployed the IGDF and the SARGC.

From Gurayat and Turaif Airports in Northern Arabia near the Jordanian southern border, Caliph Abdullah would give the order to deploy the following aircraft into Jordan:[/pre]

[list][sub]4 x Eurofighter Typhoon twin-engine, canard delta wing, multirole air superiority fighter aircraft[/sub][/list]

[list][list][sup]AGM-65K Air-to-Ground Precision Missiles

Brimstone Air-Launched Ground Attack Missiles[/sup][/list][/list]

[list][sub]2 x General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon single-engine multirole fighter aircraft[/sub][/list]

[list][list][sup]4 × AGM-154 Joint Standoff Weapon (JSOW)

4 × GBU-24 Paveway III Laser-Guided Bombs[/sup][/list][/list]

[pre]The deployment of the 6 aircraft would be monitored through their deployments as communication channels between the IADF pilots and the Central Command at the National Shura Council on Defense and Security Integrity activated via newly modernized integrated digitized ISR networks. The 6 aircraft would split into 2 groups of 3 (2 Typhoons and 1 F-16 per group) as 1st Group targeted the southern Ba'ath territory while the 2nd Group flew North and targeted the Northern and Northeastern Ba'ath territory. The sounds of the jets would echo throughout the Jordanian skies as Bedouin Arab tribes looked to the sky and observed moving shadows. With eyes wide, the militias would attempt to scatter across the southern Jordanian desert for defensive positions, fearing that they would be targeted; however, the aircraft would continue on their course.

Without ample notice, upon nearing the Ba'ath controlled province in the South, the 1 x F-16 would launch 2 x AGM-154 Joint Standoff Weapons (JSOW) into Hasa and their remaining two into Rabba, targeting storage buildings and parking garages suspected of being used to hide vehicles and arms. The fireball and following black smoke and shockwave shook both towns as Ba'aths began to scatter and look to the sky to see if they can spot the aircraft. Running into residential buildings, the Caliph would not authorize attacks as it was suspected civilians still remained in the buildings; however, the Caliph would authorize the deployment of the 4 × GBU-24 Paveway III Laser-Guided Bombs, equipped with BLU-116 – Advanced Unitary Penetrator warheads, onto a confirmed operations facilities for the Ba'aths in Al-Mazar and Mu'tah. The 2 x x Eurofighter Typhoon twin-engine, canard delta wing, multirole air superiority fighter aircraft would follow up with AGM-65K Air-to-Ground Precision Missile targeting of Ba'ath makeshift armored patrol units between Kerak and Al-Adnanya. The major success would come with the deployment of the Brimstone Air-Launched Ground Attack Missiles in Al-Qatrana, where an appointed lieutenant within the Ba'ath Republican Guard was killed in the targeted assault within the town center. From Abu Dhabi, via SIGINT tools, the Caliph would listen into the communications among the Ba'ath being targeted.[/pre]

[pre]Meanwhile, the 2nd Group would fly over Bedouin Arab lands and across the Amman province, giving hope to the people loyal to King Faisal that the Caliph finally decided to take action. Reports of aerial bombardments in the South against Ba'ath targets boosted morale in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan as people in Amman wanted the King to stand side by side with his brother and expand military operations from limited capacities and raids to full military operations. As the 2nd Group left the Amman province and entered into the Northern and Northeast Ba'ath territories, they would repeat the same arms targeting deployments as the First Group in the following towns and cities:[/pre]

[list][sub]Ar-Ramtha

Al-Husun

Safawi

Al-Mafraq[/sub][/list]

[pre]The ending of the first wave of attack was a bloody nose to get the attention of the Ba'aths and fulfill the promises of the Caliph. The completion of the targeting was met with applause back in Abu Dhabi; however, the Caliph still remained stern and focused. After a phone call with his brother King Faisal in Amman, King Faisal informed the Caliph he will begin military repositioning and deployments while trying to win over the Nationalists to their Southern territory as a buffer against the Ba'aths. After the phone call with his brother, the Caliph would speak with the Commander of the Islamic Ground Defense Force Staff Major General Ahmed bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan Abdulrahman and inform him to begin the preparations of 3 squadrons (600 personnel total) to begin infiltration of the Jordanian desert as well as to expect engagements with Bedouin Arab militias.[/pre]

BA'ATH-LINKED TERRORISM PLOT UNCOVERED IN SOMALILAND; 10 ARRESTS & DRONE STRIKE KILLS 3

[pre]As aerial targeted strikes commence in Jordan, Caliphate intel agencies would receive reports of potential plotting of terrorist attacks in Somaliland by the same Ba'ath organization that attempted to assassinate the Caliph's son. As the majority of the security within Somaliland is done via drones due to the large size of Somaliland and the distances between major cities, towns, and villages, a terrorism plot for Burco was revealed. It was uncovered that Ba'ath terrorists intended to commit a SVBIED (Suicide Vehicle-Bound Improvised Explosive Device) in the city of Burco to begin the destabilization of the southern portions of the Caliphate. Filtering through intelligence and information, NOIS agents in Somaliland would be deployed from Hargeisa to Burco while drone activity in the proximity of Burco heavily increased to conduct surveillance and if possible targeted precision strikes to destroy said SVBIED. Further information would be retrieved describing the pickup Toyota truck to come from Wadamago, which is south of Burco. The information would be confirmed accurate when a tan Toyota pickup truck left Wadamago in the early morning en route to Burco. Unbeknownst to the driver and 3 passengers, they would be followed by a General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle equipped with 4 x AGM-114M Hellfire II air-to-surface missiles.

Continuing to follow the truck for 30 minutes, the Caliph would give the approval to engage said Toyota truck with 2 x AGM-114M Hellfire II air-to-surface missiles, resulting in not only the destruction of the Toyota and the death of 3 terrorists but the explosion of 2 barrels of ammonium nitrate, prompting a major explosion in the desert. The shockwave from the ammonium nitrate explosion would be visible from the camera of the drone, which was observed from the High Command back in Abu Dhabi.[/pre]

[list][pre]| SHOOTING BY FAR-LEFT PAN-ARABISTS LEAVE 15 DEAD, 29 INJURED, SPARKING OUTRAGE AGAINST 'DESTABILIZING ELEMENTS IN THE MIDDLE EAST'[/pre][/list]

[sub]The echoes of the cries and screaming still hung over the area - the memory of it at least - as Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan solemnly made his way through the crowd of onlookers outside an Islamic mosque in Ankara, where a shooting by far-left Pan-Arabists had left 15 civilians dead and 29 severely injured, with three of those injured in a critical condition. A radical far-left communist Pan-Arabist group in Turkey had claimed responsibility for the attack through social media a few days earlier. The shooting sparked outrage on social media and physically in Turkey itself, with tens of thousands protesting outside the headquarters and homes of prominent left-wing parties and politicians, demanding their resignation. The sudden spike in anti-socialist sentiment in the country was also backed by most probably false yet still believed rumors that left-wing elements, the Russians potentially, would be supporting socialist Kurdish rebels in the south. President Erdogan used the anti-socialist sentiment to his advantage, speaking out against the left-wing in Turkey and calling them 'traitors of the Republic', and demanded their resignation from office. The AKP also dropped all rhetoric of cooperation with the TKB opposition, led by Meral Aksener, and revived its neo-Ottoman rhetoric.[/sub]

[sub]President Erdogan spoke from a platform outside the site of the shooting, walls riddled with bullet holes and remnants of blood on the floor. Inside, benches were overturned and pillars damaged by bullet holes as well. The forward area, where the imam led the prayers, was the most affected. The shrine in the back was damaged, chairs overturned and police officers milling about, investigating the crime scene. It had already been five days since the attacks, yet police were still in the process of investigating. President Erdogan spoke at length on the 'threat of socialist and destabilizing elements to Turkey and stability and regional security in the Middle East'. He lashed out at 'extremist far-right and far-left movements', calling them 'detrimental to Middle Eastern progress'. He positioned himself, the AKP, and the Turkish Government as a force for peace and stability, a force of 'centrism and conservatism', a force 'which does not respect and very strongly leads the fight against extremism in Islam and the Middle Eastern region'.[/sub]

[sub]Turks all over the country came out in strong support for Erdogan's anti-extremist rhetoric, with a survey showing over 61% of Turks approving of Erdogan's recent message to the world. While demonstrations against far-right, far-left, ultranationalist and extremist parties, groups and ideologies continue in the country, demanding for them to be removed from the country in its entirety, the Turkish Republic remains relatively stable, with opposition or disapproval of anti-extremist rhetoric and actions being at an all-time low. In the words of a Turkish news broadcaster, 'the mosque attacks in Ankara has served as a catalyst for anti-extremist sentiment in Turkey, potentially to the detriment of Turkey-USIN relations as Jordan falls into civil war'.[/sub]

PRESS RELEASE STATEMENT FROM PRIME MINISTER MOHAMMAD AL-THANI

[list][pre]"I find it insanely hypocritical to hear such statements from Ankara when it was the Turks that invaded Lebanon. It was the Turks that entered Djibouti for 'security measures at the behest of the French'. It is the Turks that for decades threaten and target the water supply to Iraqis. It is the Turks that invaded Cyprus. It is the Turks that sought entry and exacerbation into the Mediterranean Crisis with the Maghreb. It is the Turks that seek to redominate the Middle East for their own goals and glory. As Prime Minister of this Caliphate, I will continue to tell the truth about Ankara."[/pre][/list]

50 BILLION DOLLAR DEFENCE DEAL FOR THE ADRIATIC COMMUNITY

APRIL 2027

https://youtu.be/Ij65wvAGX-c

In an effort to completely modernize its first line of defense against the Yugoslav State, the Italian Government has today signed into law a 50 Billion Dollar Defence Bill meant to revamp the forces of Croatia, Albania, Slovenia and the Septinsular Republic to increase their potential effectiveness against a resurgent Yugoslavia. The importance of the deal to Italy is also that of spreading out the responsibility of defending the Adriatic Community however, which would allow Italy to avoid increasing its actively engaged manpower pool. This is also cheaper per capita as Italian Soldiers on average are paid around 35% more than Soldiers from the other parts of the Adriatic Community. Thus if the average monthly cost per 1,000 employed Personnel were to be 1,000,000 USD then the savings would consist of 350,000 which in terms of tens of thousands of individuals is a huge amount that could be spent acquiring new equipment or improving the services given to said Soldiers. It includes a 4.2 Billion deal with Korea that has seen the transfer of 1 Sejong the Great-class destroyer, 8 Yoon Youngha-class patrol vessels, 4 Yangyang-class minesweepers and the production rights to the K30 Biho SPAAG and Hyunmoo-3 cruise missile.

KINGDOM OF KOREA[list]

[sup]Government Announces Strategic Defensive Renewal[/sup][/list]

| [sub]The Minister of National Defense, Gen. Suh Wook, has announced a spending spree on national defensive renewal. It comes after the King launched a new initative along with the Prime Minister (his son) talking about the importance of national defense and prioritisation of domestic stability. Gen. Suh Wook has said that Korea's national defense systems and equipment required a long overdue upgrade, as well as taking advantage of advances in technology, the new stratedgy looks to the geography of the country as its best defense.[/sub] |

| [sub]Korea understands that the current state of affairs surrounding the proliferation of ballistic missiles and nuclear diplomacy, especially since the Balkans Crisis, it has been found appropriate and necessary for the preserving of Korean national security and integrity to implement new national security mechanisms to protect the homeland from any and all sources of hostility. The main focus is on the upgrade and expansion of the Korea Air and Missile Defense (KAMD) and the Korea Massive Punishment and Retaliation (KMPR), two system that were originally conceived as a defense against the Democratic Republic of Korea would now be expanded into the north of the country. The vast northern mountain ranges and the north eastern coastlines were identified as the most vulnerable areas.[/sub] |

| [sub]The KAMD system intercepts missiles heading towards Korea. The KAMD system establishes a terminal-phase, lower tier overlapped missile defense system in consideration of the battlefield environment of the Korean Peninsula. It consists of an early warning system, command and control system and intercept system. The early warning system detects the enemyÂ’s launched missiles with ballistic missile early warning radar or Aegis radar, analyzes the detected information at the Korea Theater Missile Operations, and then delivers it to the optimal interceptor artillery battery. The battery that receives an order to intercept will track the missile with its own radar to execute the interception. The Kill Chain is a system to carry out a preemptive strike against facilities if Seoul is faced with an imminent threat while the KAMD traces and shoot down ballistic missiles heading towards Korea.[/sub] |

| [sub]The L-SAM is announced to be ready for deployment in the coming months, and likely to be located across strategic locations across the northern mountains and the eastern coastline near the former DMZ. The L-SAM system which intercepts missiles at an altitude of 40-60 kilometers. It aims to shoot down ballistic missiles from foreign threats in their terminal phase. It will use a trailer-mounted S band AESA radar. It will be an upper-tier interceptor for a layered defense, as part of the Korean Air and Missile Defense (KAMD) project with the lower tier composed of Patriot PAC-3 and KM-SAM batteries.[/sub] |

| MIDDLE EASTERN INVESTMENT ORGANISATION ( MEIO ) FORMED |

[sub]March, 2027[/sub]

| The Middle Eastern Investment Organisation has been formed between Iran and the Caliphate. The MEIO has been created in an effort to speed up and aid the development of Middle Eastern and Northern African nations. Each year, Iran will pay in $200 Billion and the Caliphate $120 Billion. Those numbers might raise each year depending on the success of the process and strain on the national budgets. The Middle Eastern Investment Organisation has reached out to Maghreb, Syria, Sudan, Egypt, Israel and Iraq to officially join MEIO and gain the money. MEIO is open to members to also pay in 1.0% of their national budget or more, should the member state wish to do so, however, that is not obligatory.

The yearly funding from MEIO will be broken into budget for Agriculture, Industry, Energy and Life Standard. Each member country would gather funding from MEIO for those fields, to aid their development, make them less reliable on out-of-region aid and create a new sense of community within the region that would allow for quicker development of nations that due to past events of colonialism and abuse have found it hard to develop on the same level as other countries around the world. The establishment of MEIO is a step into integrity and security of the region through means of economy and unity, and MEIO is ready and prepared to aid it's members. MEIO in it's long term goal will also aim to create a free trade zone, with a step-by-step mechanism to allow member states to adjust into such zone, should they see fit to join it.

In addition to MEIO's establishment, Iran has announced that it has prepared $560 Billion in investments for the Middle East and Northern Region for the next two years, and that Foreign Secretary Nefreti Pahlavi will seek out to create lucrative deals for all sides. Foreign Secretary is set out to visit Syria, Maghreb, Israel and Sudan in the coming weeks to discuss such investments. However, most importantly, the establishment of MEIO, as stated by Empress Esfir Pahlavi is that of "...good nature and historic justice...we must aid one another, and I'm happy that Iran and Caliphate are able to lead a coalition, an organisation that will aim to create a moment of economic ease and stability to aid our Middle Eastern and Northern African partners in their bid for development and progress..." |

[spoiler="Iran is ready to yet again aid our brothers and sisters in the region and I'm thrilled that the Caliphate has joined us onto doing so, as together we can achieve even more in aiding the progress and security of our region..." - Prime Minister of Iran, Hesiana Leira]

| NATIONAL ASSEMBLY OF MAGHREB |

National Assembly Lifts Ban On Foreign Weapons Sale, Completes Sale To Sudan

Casablanca, Republic of Maghreb

March, 2027

_____________

[list]As the budget starts to feel the effects of its 6 billion dollar increase in military funding, Prime Minister Benkirane and Supreme Commander Haftaer were looking for a way to offset the financial burden and nullify opposition criticisms. In that search they found their perfect solution: reversal of the 2002 Foreign Weapons Proliferation Act, which legally barred Maghreb and its military from exporting weaponry or supplying weapons to foreign groups. The law was passed after the Revolution of 2000 after it came out that the Maghrebi military had sold arms to Libya without the knowledge of the government in the 90s.

Still in effect, the law hampered the state-owned budding defense industry within Maghreb. An Ennahda Assemblyman proposed the bill, which would legalize foreign weapons sales with Assembly consent, codify the state-owned nature of the industry, and direct all profits directly to the Defense Ministry, as well as give the Defense Ministry administrative oversight of all defense companies. Intentionally, the Maghrebi Armed Forces would be able to finance itself by selling weapons. This was pitched as the perfect financial solution for the National Assembly. The government could both create and stimulate a new profitable industry as well as ease its own financial burden, all in one law. Of course, it also gave the military broad oversight of itÂ’s finances and exclusive access to the profits.

Once voted on, the law was passed with relative ease. Parliamentary opposition could not oppose the bill and oppose heightened spending in the same breath without appearing hypocritical. With an expected majority, the Maghrebi National Assembly overturned FWPA, and handed control of weapons export to the Defense Ministry.

Defense Ministry officials confirmed that an Arms Bazaar would be held to showcase Maghrebi products, as well as spending allocated to further development of domestic products.

_____________

$2 Billion Defense Deal Signed With Sudan

At alarming speed after the bill was signed, the Defense Ministry organized a procurement deal with Sudan valued at $2 billion dollars. Sudan would acquire 325x T-72B3 MBTs, domestically produced. They would also acquire 50x MF2000 fighter jets, an overhauled and modernized Dassault F-1, tantamount to the 4th Generation Mirage 2000-5.[/I][/LIST]

[sub]| DAWLAT ALAITIHAD LIL'UMAT AL'IISLAMIA - ادولة الاتحاد للأمة الإسلامية |[/sub]

[pre]The onslaught of operations in Jordan was proving to not only the Caliphate but the world what Abu Dhabi is capable of to ensure proper addressing of national security threats in the region. With military operations primarily coming in the form of air campaigns, the Caliph has prompted the deployment of 2 IGDF Regiments (6,000 personnel) into the Amman province of Jordan to reinforce the militias and the remnants of the Royal Jordanian Armed Forces. With Jordanian airports being located within the territory of the Islamic Abdulrahmanists, logistical and supply lines were able to be coordinated between Abu Dhabi and Amman to ensure adequate weapon supply to the Royal Jordanian Army, Royal Jordanian Air Force, and the IGDF.

The 6,000 personnel have been directed to assist in the securing of the capital city of Amman to allow the RJA to commence their military operations to avoid being spread out too thin. With the 6k personnel, the following have been deployed:[/pre]

[list][sub]250 x AJBAN 447A Multi-Role Armoured Vehicles

50 x T-72B3 Main Battle Tanks

150 x Leclerc Main Battle Tanks

5 x K239 Chunmoo MLRS

10 x K9/A1 Thunder Howitzers[/sub][/list]

[pre]Solidifying the position of the Caliphate, Minister of Defense Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa Abdulrahman has announced Abu Dhabi is declaring the Jordanian airspace a no-fly zone and under the occupation of the Islamic Air Defense Force. To ensure this enforcement, Abu Dhabi has authorized the additional deployments of:[/pre]

[list][sub]15 x FA-50 Light Combat Aircraft

5 x Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II Close Air Support single-seat, twin turbofan engine, straight wing jet aircraft

20 x McDonnell Douglas F-15QA Eagle twin-engine, all-weather tactical fighter aircraft

10 x Umar ibn Al-Khattab Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles

15 x Su-30SM2 Twin-engine, Two-Seat Supermaneuverable Fighter Aircraft[/sub][/list]

[pre]As a means to reinforce the 6,000 personnel deployed to Amman, Abu Dhabi has also prepared and deployed 2 Brigades (10,000 personnel) from the SARGC into Bedouin Arab Tribal Militia territory to further secure the Caliphate's border and to negotiate by force with the Bedouin tribes to switch their allegiance away from the Nationalists and/or Ba'aths to the Caliphate if they wish to avoid confrontation and defeat. The 2 Brigades will look to split the Bedouin territories into two sections and saturate villages with squadrons upon occupying said villages and destroying enemy logistical operations and supply storages.[/pre]

| SHIRAZ ROYAL HOSPITAL |

| Lying in her hospital bed, Tsarina Leila would be recovering from the last month attack on her life. Barely making through her surgery that saved her life, she lays there, staring into the TV, rethinking her life. The shock of the blast not only injured her body, but her spirit and soul it seemed. Questioning herself, who she is and her accomplishment she would breath heavily, looking away for a moment before hearing a slight knock on her door. It's the Empress. She would nod slightly, as Esfir walked in closing the door behind. |

[list][ Esfir ]: "I do hope you're feeling better..."[/list]

[list][ Leila ]: "As if you can call that better...I'm in stiches...laying here because clearly I wasn't the Tsarina I was meant to be."[/list]

[list][ Esfir ]: "Nonsense, utter nonsense. You were attacked by fanatics. Probably at the command of Moscow."[/list]

[list][ Leila ]: "Aw that's utter bullsh*t. If Moscow orchestrated this, I'd be dead. Their secret services haven't changed since my day. If they want you dead, you will be dead. But they need a personified enemy of the state, so they let me live...but what life is this..."[/list]

[list][ Esfir ]: "Oh for goodness sake! Stop with the self-pity. The attacks are all across the region. You're not special."[/list]

[list][ Leila ]: "Is that why you came? To let me know I'm not special? You're foolish to think you're."[/list]

| Staring at her in silence, Esifr would sit down. |

[list][ Leila ]: "You think you're indestructible. Untouchable. There is a coup coming your way...they asked me to lead it, but I said no. I'm not interested in power here..."[/list]

[list][ Esfir ]: " A coup? Against me? That's absurd!"[/list]

[list][ Leila ]: "But it's true...you see in Russia, you're a Tsarina for life, in Iran you're an Empress for a month. You're not even a player in their game, you're a mere pawn on the play board."[/list]

| Looking at her in shock, Esfir would stand up slowly. |

[list][ Leila ]: "You better watch your back, Esfir. Fortify your position before it's too late. Because once they come for you...you'd wish the KGB had you. You saw what happened to Farah many moons ago."[/list]

[list][ Esfir ]: "What happened to Farah was a natural death!"[/list]

[list][ Leila ]: "Orchestrated by the Family...including you. You better hope your...natural death, is not next."[/list]

| Looking at Leila for a moment, Esfir would grab her handbag and storm out as Leila lay back down sighing deeply. |

| ABU DHABI, PRINCESS YASMINE MANSION |

| Princess Yasmine made a life for herself. Married to the Grand Emir, son of the Caliph, Yasmine was now one of the most influential woman in the Middle East and in the world. Being part of the largest royal families on earth, an heir to the Iranian throne and the future Queen of the Caliphate, Yasmine was on her way in becoming the most powerful woman in the world. On the other hand, her oldest brother, Hamir, was a family failure, but a failure with major ambitions and lust for power. His sister was to be his way into power, as she can provide him safety and money for his own agenda. |

[list][ Yasmine ]: "It's a surprise to see you here. Tea?"[/list]

[list][ Hamir ]: "Yes please and how so? A brother is not allowed to visit his sister?"[/list]

[list][ Yasmine ]: "From what I remember you didn't even bother to come for my marriage."[/list]

[list][ Hamir ]: "Because you married that Arab douchebag..."[/list]

[list][ Yasmine ]: "Shut up. Here, even the pillows have ears. What is it that you want?"[/list]

| Hamir would look at the pillows before gesturing with his head towards the balcony. The two would walk out onto it. |

[list][ Hamir ]: "I need money."[/list]

[list][ Yasmine ]: "For?"[/list]

[list][ Hamir ]: "Does it matter? I'll pay it back! I promise."[/list]

[list][ Yasmine ]: "How much?"[/list]

[list][ Hamir ]: "200 Million, dollars, in cash."[/list]

[list][ Yasmine ]: "Are you mad? What do you need it for?"[/list]

[list][ Hamir ]: "It doesn't matter!"[/list]

[list][ Yasmine ]: "Then no money for you. Anything else?"[/list]

[list][ Hamir ]: "Really? Really, Yasmine?!"[/list]

[list][ Yasmine ]: "Anything else?"[/list]

| Looking at her in a defeated manner, he would look down. |

[list][ Hamir ]: "It's for uncle Ahvar."[/list]

[list][ Yasmine ]: "Ahvar? What does he need it for?"[/list]

| Looking at her for a moment, he would look out into the garden. |

[list][ Hamir ]: "He wants to orchestrate a new start."[/list]

[list][ Yasmine ]: "A new start?"[/list]

[list][ Hamir ]: " A royal coup, Yasmine. He wants the throne."[/list]

| Going pale, Yasmine would sit on the chair. |

[list][ Yasmine ]: "Are you mad?! Firstly, coming here with such requests! Could you imagine what would happen if I did lend you the money and he did try to coup and failed...the Caliphate would be indirectly involved causing a major issue, a major issue that could lead to war! Secondly...are you out of your stupid mind to go about trying to coup the Empress? She could have you killed in a second if she found out!"[/list]

[list][ Hamir ]: "But she won't though..."[/list]

[list][ Yasmine ]: "Oh! You're so stupid! Of course she will! Sooner than later. I know that our side of the family has fought tooth and nail to get the throne, but it's not our time. I cannot have you dead...look at me, Hamir. Look at me!"[/list]

| Hamir turns his gaze towards her. |

[list][ Yasmine ]: "I will sort this out, so that you have no involvement in this. You'll stay in Abu Dhabi for a couple of weeks, I'll sort out Ahvar and his followers. I will not allow our side of the clan to go down because of idiocy of some old bitter men! You understand?!"[/list]

[list][ Hamir ]: "But Yasmine---"[/list]

[list][ Yasmine ]: "Good! Now get out of my sight...go gamble, I don't know. Do something with yourself. I'll sort this mess out."[/list]

| Hamir would nod and after a moment leave off. Yasmine would think to herself for a while before taking out her phone. |

[list][ Yasmine ]: "Aunt Miryam! How lovely to hear you! Yes, I'm fine! Listen. I'm coming over for a couple of days, don't announce it though, just make sure the mansion is ready for me and get all the members together for Friday evening. Okay? Thank you! Yes Yes! I'll see you on Friday! Bye!"[/list]

| Hanging up, she would sigh deeply before looking down at her tea and with a smirk looking back up. |

[pre]March 2027 | Parliament Building of the Grand National Assembly, Ankara, Republic of Turkey[/pre]

[list][pre]| TURKISH GRAND NATIONAL ASSEMBLY APPROVES $24.9 BILLION ANNUAL MILITARY EXPENDITURE BUDGET FOR 2027 AMID PUSH TO COMBAT EXTREMISM[/pre][/list]

[sub]After setting a record-high $20.6 billion dollar annual military expenditure budget in 2019, the Turkish Grand National Assembly - the Republic's unicameral legislative body - formally ratified the $24.9 billion dollar annual military expenditure budget for fiscal year 2027, signifying an increase from $17.2 billion in 2026. Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the President of the Republic of Turkey, praised the passage of the budget - proposed by right-leaning members of his own party, the Justice and Development Party (AKP) - as a 'sign of the unity Turkey is developing and nourishing amid the rise of these threats to our national security'. In a moment which solidified his decision to backtrack on increased cooperation with the opposition coalition, the Coalition for Turkish Unity (TBK), President Erdogan made no comment on the five Good Party Assemblymen who voted in favor of the new $24.9 billion dollar budget.[/sub]

[sub]The new $24.9 billion dollar annual military expenditure budget for fiscal year 2027, advocated as one of the many methods the Turkish Government aims to use to combat 'extremist and Pan-Arabist ideals', is expected to come as a precursor to a rapid military expansion program and a procurement of modern arms from Turkish allies, potentially those in the European Union and others across the Mediterranean in Rome and Casablanca. Turkish Minister of Defense Hulsi Akar repeatedly condemned 'extremists, Pan-Arabists, socialists, nationalists, and opponents of the Turkish state' during his testimonies before the Grand National Assembly to justify the increase in military spending, and after the budget was passed he praised the legislative victory as 'a sign of the government's sincere goal of obliterating the enemies of the state and thus the enemies of the free world'.[/sub]

[sub]The Turkish Ministry of Defense has already enthusiastically outlined proposals for over $14 billion worth of modernization and arms procurement programs within the Turkish Armed Forces, which according to Defense Minister Akar 'is already lagging behind seriously in contrast with the Caliphate's and Iran's growing military strength, and such inbalance in power could result in the compromising of Turkish national security and Turkish national interests'.[/sub]

ITALIAN INVESTMENT AID INTO PALMERA

APRIL 2027

To aid the rebirth and growth of the Palmeran State, the Italian Government has issued an investment Bond for Italians to purchase consisting of a 1.7 Billion Dollar Bond paying an annual coupon of 4%. As a result Italy will try and where possible fund the investment through direct Italian Civilian purchases of said Bond, the interest rate for which is very attractive. By committing to investing through a Bond it also saves Italy direct funds, as it spreads out where the Money originates from at the cost of a higher rate of interest. Italy's investment initiative for Palmera will focus on the "Three Pillars of Infrastructure" and additionally on a healthcare initiative. Funds shall be used as follows :

1.2 Billion USD lump payment - Base Infrastructure in the form of Roads, Bridges, Airports & Ports

250 Million USD lump payment - Water Infrastructure in the form of sewage and fresh water wells, reclamation centers

200 Million USD lump payment - Internet Infrastructure in the form of fiber optic connections for Businesses and large scale Population centers

50 Million USD annual payment - Yearly lump payment for Health Initiatives such as Blood Drives & Drug Rehabilitation Programs

It is the firm belief of the Italian Foreign and Finance Ministries that these three pillars along with the additional "good will" target will form the backbone of Palmeran recovery and ultimately reclaim it as a popular tourist destination for Italians in the long run.

INDEPENDENT STATE OF CROATIA BANS ALL OPPOSITION PARTIES / THE IONIAN ISLANDS REUNITED AT LAST

APRIL 2027

https://youtu.be/BFxH9qYGWdI

The Independent State of Croatia under the leadership of General Drago Lovric, in light of the current tensions with Yugoslavia and as a result internal struggles with Serbs, has declared that all opposition Parties are henceforth banned and no longer permitted to conduct rallies or attend elections. As a result of the change, it was signed into law that the position of President which General Lovric now holds shall be reformed into the position of Poglavnik (Croatian word for the latin phrase princeps, or primary). It was justified by Lovric as a "move against renewed Socialism", him portraying the opposition parties as socialist and community in nature and thus a danger not only to Croatia but to Europe as a whole. In reality however it was a realization of his long standing goal to emulate the past Poglavnik Ante Pavelić, reverred in Croatia for his opposition towards Yugoslavia and fight for a free Croatia.

Almost uniquely among the European Far Right, the Ustaše movement is not hostile towards Islam but instead actively promotes it. It was their view and is indeed the view of lovric that since Croatian lands "inevitably and rightfully include" Bosnia, that Islam and Catholicism are the two "twin souls" of the Croatian State. In comparison however they are intensely hostile towards Orthodox Christianity as it is viewed as the Serbian Religion, and thus it is the faith of the eternal enemy. To honor and continue this traditional view of alliance between Croatian Catholicism and Bosnian Islam, both have been declared the State Religions of Croatia. Lovric's dream is the ultimate reunification of what is viewed in Croatia as the "True Croatia", consisting of the following territories : https://i.imgur.com/KWkJyPp.png

Ironically unlike most other Countries, Lovric's Government has publicly made clear that part of the lands that the Independent State of Croatia currently owns are not its rightful territory, and have pledged to release said lands upon the realization of their Croatian dream. These "unwanted lands" include part of their coastline going to Italy, part of their northern provinces going to Slovenia, a small portion along the Montenegrin Border to Montenegro and finally part of their north-east going to Hungary. The acceptance that these territories "should not" be theirs in the long run in the eyes of Lovric gives him ultimate legitimacy in his quest to reunite the lands of Croatia.

Elsewhere in the Dalmatian Community a historic tragedy was reversed as the Greek Government finally permitted a Referendum to be held on the remaining Ionian Islands on being absorbed into the Septinsular Republic. Plagued by its economic woes as a result of the war with Yugoslavia, the Greek Government was wooed by the idea that if the Ionian Islands voted to accept integration with Corfu, Italy would immediately pay a lump sum of 13.1 Billion USD as a way to repay all debts owed by the Islands to the Greek Government. Thus, as the Islands voted successfully (69.2% in favor) to rejoin the Republic, the Greek Government made official the deal between themselves and the Italian Foreign Ministry in which the official handing over ceremony would take place on the Island of Corfu.

It marks, at last, the reunification of the Septinsular Republic, which in culture is not quite as similar to the mainland as many may think.

SYRIAN ARAB REPUBLIC: AN INTRODUCTION

[sub]OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE | DAMASCUS, 2027 [/sub][/list]

[sub]| PEOPLE'S PALACE, QASR AL-SHAAB - قصر الشعب | THE LION OF DAMASCUS | After the ending of the long and bloody Syrian Civil War in February 2018, with the subsequent victory of Assad's loyalist forces and the Syrian Arab Armed Forces, alongside Russian counterparts against the Free Syrian Army and elements of ISIL, President Bashar al-Assad launched a massive reconstruction campaign to rebuild Syria. Cities like Aleppo, Raqqa, and Homs which had been severely damaged and in some areas, reduced to rubble would be cleaned up in the years immediately following the war. The Syrian Government began looking to foreign companies to contract out building permits to rebuild Syria's lost infrastructure. Naturally Russia, Syria's greatest ally throughout the conflict benefited the most from these contracts. The SGRI helped to modernize Syria's damaged and vastly outdated energy and maritime infrastructure as well as reconstruction of transportation infrastructure. In return for Russia's support, they were granted a permanent military presence in Syria through the signing of an agreement allowing Russia's use of Hmeimim airport, indefinitely and for free. The Russian Armed Forces were also allowed to form a permanent grouping at Khmeimim airbase and their naval facility in Tartus. As Syria continued reconstruction efforts, the Assad regime moved to liberalize Syria's sinking economy which had been propped up for nearly a decade by Russian intervention. | [/sub]

[sub]DAMASCUS FINANCIAL QUARTER | 6 AM - MORNING [/sub][/list]

[sub]| SYRIAN STOCK EXCHANGE, DAMASCUS FINANCIAL QUARTER - WAHRAN وهران | In an attempt to save Syria's economy from total collapse, President Bashar al-Assad elected to submit a new plan to fast track the liberalizing of the Syrian economy. Following the formulation of what has been called the Tehrir Plan, Assad expects that the People's Council, will ratify the plan. Because Syria has several vested interest groups and organizations within and outside the People's Council, they are considered voting blocks. The Tehrir Plan enunciates the need to liberalize the Syrian economy through a multifaceted approach that will do the following: | [/sub]

[list][sub]• Curb subsidization

• Increasing interest rates by creating natural demand

• Engaging in breaking public sector programs to create competition

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

• Empowering the farmer through:

[list]• teaching new agricultural techniques

• expanding and establishing vocational schools

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

• new soil-testing laboratories will be established

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

• Interlinking navigable rivers

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

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

| SOUTHER MANSION, SHIRAZ |

| The Southern Mansion for decades belonged to the Ahvar's. Duke Ahvar Pahlavi was the direct son of Grand Princess Fatimeh, who was the sister of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. During the 1970s, it was Grand Princess Fatimeh that became the largest threat to Empress Farah, even bigger than Ashref. Soon enough, however, in the 1990s, Fatimeh died in uncertain circumstances but her side of the family remained loyal to her and her fight for the throne. Renowned for their immense wealth in the agricultural and energetic fields, the Ahvar's are the money of the family. Yasmine came directly from this side of the family, with her father being Fatimeh's son. Her father passed away in 2018 due to a heart attack, and her mother remained as Princess-Aid for Empress Esfir.

A feast has been prepared for the whole family as Yasmine's arrival was announced. The major figures of the Ahvar's arrived, with the Southern Mansion trampled with them. The large beautiful tables were set up, with food of all kinds. Candles and bright lights were present. The guests began to arrive. Yasmine, wearing a beautiful long gold gown, with her hair up and a golden cape attached to the dress, would stand in front of the largest table, with a smile on her face. At some point the three heads of the Ahvar's would enter. Ahvar Pahlavi, the now retired giant in the Iranian Agricultural sector and her uncle. Bahrin Pahlavi, the current owner of Iranian Fruits International and the son of Ahvar. Mahvan Pahlavi, second son of Ahvar and the CEO of Shirazi Tech Corporation. All with smirks on their faces, all bowing their heads slightly as they see Yasmine. Everyone that mattered in this side of the family was present. Taking a deep breath, Yasmine would open her arms dearly as the doors shut. |

[list][ Yasmine ]: "It is such a pleasure to see you all healthy and well. Abu Dhabi is beautiful but nothing beats Shiraz."[/list]

[list][ Miriyam ]: "It is a blessing that you're here today!"[/list]

| Aunt Miriyam was Yasmine's closest relative present. Sister to her mother, Miriyam always took care of her niece and followed her blindly ever-since Yasmine married. |

[list][ Ahvar ]: "I must say I was more than surprised to hear you come. I thought you settled in Abu Dhabi with the Arabs for good."[/list]

[list][ Yasmine ]: "Oh, uncle. Abu Dhabi is where my children will be raised, where I shall one day maybe lead with my husband, where I shall dazzle. But here, is my home. Home that is scary recently. The attacks on the Tsarina. Shocking. Then attacks on my husband...bless him, he recovered though. He's a strong man."[/list]

[list][ Ahvar ]: "Yes. It's scary, you may say. But the Empress seems to be handling it well."[/list]

| Looking at him for a moment, Yasmine would smile again before taking a seat. |

[list][ Yasmine ]: "So she is. Anyway! Enough with the politics! I'm here to talk family."[/list]

[list][ Bahrin ]: "Family? What can we do for you again?"[/list]

[list][ Mahvan ]: "You don't need our help anymore."[/list]

[list][ Peshran ]: "She means she's here to spend time with us. You idiots."[/list]

| Peshran was her cousin, son to Duchess Farize, who silently observed the situation. |

[list][ Miriyam ]: "Let's not fight on this special occasion! Dig in! Yasmine prepared it all by herself!"[/list]

[list][ Mahvan ]: "So you have? Is it eatable?"[/list]

[list][ Yasmine ]: "Very funny Mahvan! Eat. Ahahaha!"[/list]

| Everyone would dig in. The feast would commence. Everyone laughed, chatted away, drank away. Duchess Farize observing it all from the side, catching Yasmine's attention. For the next two hours, the mansion got drunk, and after five hours many began to leave, leaving Yasmine, Ahvar, Mahvan, Miriyam, Farize, Peshran and Bahrin at the large tables. |

[list][ Yasmine ]: "So the Empress then...you mentioned she handles it well?"[/list]

[list][ Mahvan ]: "As if! She's crap at this! F*cking bulls*it!"[/list]

[list][ Ahvar ]: "Mahvan!"[/list]

[list][ Yasmine ]: "Please, let him speak."[/list]

[list][ Ahvar ]: "What?"[/list]

| Yasmine would turn her confused gaze towards Ahvar. |

[list][ Ahvar ]: "I don't know who you think you are, but you're nobody in this house. If I say enough, it's enough. I see your position within the Arabs got into your head."[/list]

| Miriyam would turn towards Yasmine who would smile slightly. |

[list][ Yasmine ]: "You're right, uncle. I'm sorry. So then, do you think she handles it well?"[/list]

[list][ Ahvar ]: "Why are you so fixated on it? And where is your brother? Hamir?"[/list]

[list][ Yasmine ]: "In Abu Dhabi."[/list]

[list][ Miriyam ]: "Probably gambling away! Bless his soul, he tries his best but I couldn't raise that boy. And your father tried! Your mother doesn't have time!"[/list]

[list][ Yasmine ]: "How is she?"[/list]

[list][ Miriyam ]: "You still don't talk?"[/list]

| Yasmine would look away for a moment before getting her composure. |

[list][ Farize ]: "What is your true reason for being here?"[/list]

| Everyone would turn their gaze towards Farize. |

[list][ Yasmine ]: "As always, to the point with you, aunt. But fair enough, you deserve to know. I heard that you're planning a coup, you uncle. With your sons."[/list]

| Astounded, Ahvar raised himself up with rage. |

[list][ Ahvar ]: "Are you accusing me going against the Empress?! How dare you!"[/list]

[list][ Yasmine ]: "So it's true? I think that's rather mad."[/list]

[list][ Ahvar ]: "Enough! Enough with your lies! We will not listen to anything you have to say, you lying---"[/list]

| Yasmine snaps her fingers, with the SOD-NOIS agents turning their guns towards Ahvar and his sons. |

[list][ Yasmine ]: "Oh. But you will sit and listen."[/list]

| Looking around, Ahvar would take a seat, with anger growing within. |

[list][ Yasmine ]: "You have decided to organise a coup that would lead to the destruction of our clan. You have not consulted my mother, Miriyam, Farize or anyone else about it within the elders. You have went against our safety and you will pay the prize."[/list]

| Looking around, Mahvan would get up and taking out a pistol he would be instantly shot in the shoulder falling down. Both Farize and Miriyam are taking aback. |

[list][ Yasmine ]: "Bahrin, Mahvan and uncle Ahvar. Each one of you consumed a fair dosage of a mixture of snake poisons. Each one of you should bleed internally to death...in the next...four minutes..."[/list]

[list][ Ahvar ]: "You're a disgrace! A sell out to the Arabs!"[/list]

| Ahvar would spit towards her before starting to choke along with his sons. After a few moments of gruesome spectacle, the men would lay dead on the floor with foam coming out of their mouths. Yasmine would turn her gaze towards Miriyam and Farize. |

[list][ Yasmine ]: "From now on...we make decisions. Together. Let the family know, that I will not stand for insubordination. The crown will belong to us, sooner than later but that is not the way to go about it. Now. You're either with me or against me."[/list]

| Yasmine would put her hand towards the centre. Miriyam would instantly put her hand in as Farize watched along with Peshran. After a moment, Peshran would put his hand in. Farize would breath in slowly and put her hand in as well. |

[list][ Yasmine ]: "I'm glad we could come to such happy conclusion. Aunt Farize, please deal with the Empress and get her to calm down. Aunt Miriyam, let the family know. Peshran, I need you to get rid of the bodies."[/list]

[list][ Peshran ]: "How?"[/list]

[list][ Yasmine ]: "I don't know...burn it, cover them, drown them...do as you please. But remove them once and for all. Now, I'm sorry about the dessert. I wanted the cake to be moist, but it turned out dry. It happens. Anyway! I'll better get going."[/list]

| She would start kissing each of them on the cheek. |

[list][ Yasmine ]: "It's been lovely seeing you all. Next time! You all have to come to Abu Dhabi, the sun there is much hotter than here. Ahaha!"[/list]

| Lighting her mint cigarette, she would leave off with her SOD-NOIS agents following. |

| MAGHREBI ARMED FORCES |[/B]

Naval Forces Deployed To Gulf of Aqaba, Attacks on BaÂ’athists In Jordan Commence

Gulf of Aqaba, Union-State of Islamic Nations

March, 2027

_______________

[list]As the historically stable Jordan descends into chaos, the Maghrebi government has watched closely as foreign forces maneuver around the conflict. With the resilient cancer of BaÂ’athism once again festering in the vacuum of Jordan, concerns have been raised about possible threats to Maghrebi interests and sovereignty. With Turkey now openly militarizing against Arab nationalism, the National Assembly has approved the deployment of a naval contingent to the Gulf of Aqaba for the purpose of leveling attacks against BaÂ’athist forces in Jordan.

Task Force Raisuni:

1x Qasimi-class Destroyer

2x Adhafer-class Stealth Corvette

2x Kilo-class Attack Submarine

The Task Force, under command of Vice Admiral Mostapha El Alami, took up positions in USIN territorial waters and initiated communications with USIN military forces. Coordinating with intelligence and troops on the ground, a waterborne direct artillery campaign would begin. Hyunmoo-3 LAM Cruise Missiles would be fired from the Qasimi-class ship, MNS Sayyid al-Hurra. The Kilo submarines fired their Club-S 3M14E LAM missiles, targeting supposed BaÂ’athist fortifications and bases. On its first day, TF Raisuni fired a total of 22 cruise missiles before pulling back to the Red Sea for further training and exercises. Navy officials confirmed the Task Force would loiter for several more days, continuing support for USIN combat operations.

Speaking at Fleet Base Jawhar al-Rumi, Supreme Commander Khalifa Haftar commented on the deployment, saying: “Securement of Maghrebi interest in the Jordanian Conflict is very important. Ba’athism is the ideology of the weak. Of those with hate for Allah and for their fellow man. Ba’athists are a desperate breed. I am proud of the opportunity for our Navy to end a few more.”[/list]

Ranponian wrote:INDEPENDENT STATE OF CROATIA BANS ALL OPPOSITION PARTIES / THE IONIAN ISLANDS REUNITED AT LAST

[spoiler]APRIL 2027

https://youtu.be/BFxH9qYGWdI

The Independent State of Croatia under the leadership of General Drago Lovric, in light of the current tensions with Yugoslavia and as a result internal struggles with Serbs, has declared that all opposition Parties are henceforth banned and no longer permitted to conduct rallies or attend elections. As a result of the change, it was signed into law that the position of President which General Lovric now holds shall be reformed into the position of Poglavnik (Croatian word for the latin phrase princeps, or primary). It was justified by Lovric as a "move against renewed Socialism", him portraying the opposition parties as socialist and community in nature and thus a danger not only to Croatia but to Europe as a whole. In reality however it was a realization of his long standing goal to emulate the past Poglavnik Ante Pavelić, reverred in Croatia for his opposition towards Yugoslavia and fight for a free Croatia.

Almost uniquely among the European Far Right, the Ustaše movement is not hostile towards Islam but instead actively promotes it. It was their view and is indeed the view of lovric that since Croatian lands "inevitably and rightfully include" Bosnia, that Islam and Catholicism are the two "twin souls" of the Croatian State. In comparison however they are intensely hostile towards Orthodox Christianity as it is viewed as the Serbian Religion, and thus it is the faith of the eternal enemy. To honor and continue this traditional view of alliance between Croatian Catholicism and Bosnian Islam, both have been declared the State Religions of Croatia. Lovric's dream is the ultimate reunification of what is viewed in Croatia as the "True Croatia", consisting of the following territories : https://i.imgur.com/KWkJyPp.png

Ironically unlike most other Countries, Lovric's Government has publicly made clear that part of the lands that the Independent State of Croatia currently owns are not its rightful territory, and have pledged to release said lands upon the realization of their Croatian dream. These "unwanted lands" include part of their coastline going to Italy, part of their northern provinces going to Slovenia, a small portion along the Montenegrin Border to Montenegro and finally part of their north-east going to Hungary. The acceptance that these territories "should not" be theirs in the long run in the eyes of Lovric gives him ultimate legitimacy in his quest to reunite the lands of Croatia.

Elsewhere in the Dalmatian Community a historic tragedy was reversed as the Greek Government finally permitted a Referendum to be held on the remaining Ionian Islands on being absorbed into the Septinsular Republic. Plagued by its economic woes as a result of the war with Yugoslavia, the Greek Government was wooed by the idea that if the Ionian Islands voted to accept integration with Corfu, Italy would immediately pay a lump sum of 13.1 Billion USD as a way to repay all debts owed by the Islands to the Greek Government. Thus, as the Islands voted successfully (69.2% in favor) to rejoin the Republic, the Greek Government made official the deal between themselves and the Italian Foreign Ministry in which the official handing over ceremony would take place on the Island of Corfu.

It marks, at last, the reunification of the Septinsular Republic, which in culture is not quite as similar to the mainland as many may think.

On the Other Side of the Wall

The recent announcement by Croatia's self-proclaimed Independent State of banning opposition political parties has been met with amazement by the people of the Republic of Croatia, unlike its western neighbor Yugoslavia's "Croats" have enjoyed a lively democracy since the rise of Tadic in the presidency and in his renegotiation of the Federal Republic. Many Croatian-Yugoslavs saw in the figure of General Drago Lovric the rebirth of fascism in Europe and the fear of a new invasion, the expansionism promoted by the general was met with heavy criticism from Andrej Plenković, Croatian representative in the Federal Cabinet.

A New Routine

The Yugoslav Air Force announced that in the coming months it will conduct a series of trainings with MiG-29 fighters equipped with 3M-14AE Kalibr and Kh-61 missiles training models, with objective of training and expanding the experience of Yugoslavs pilots and ground crews with the use of this type of weaponry both conventional and nuclear. The training will take place in Serbian airspace in order to avoid escalation of tensions on the Italian border, in addition to the presence of Soviet military personnel, the government has released access for military personnel from other nations who want to follow the training.

[sub] The thorium reactor would stand as a step into a new age of even safer Nuclear power, preventing the likes of the Three Mile Island and Chernobyl incidents that have permanently hampered the image of Nuclear power. Thorium Reactors now promised safety and an incredible decrease in Nuclear waste along with the ability to refine the plutonium in older nuclear waste to recycle for use in the reactor. Thorium reactors prove safer as they need a small catalyst to start the reaction. So if meltdown does somehow begin the thorium could be quickly disconnected from the plutonium source. The efficiency of Thorium would easily blow Uranium out of the water with it being estimated that 1 Ton of Thorium is capable of producing the same amount as 200 tons of Uranium. These Reactors would be built as modular reactors greatly increasing the build time and their smaller size due to ThoriumÂ’s efficiency would also help lower initial costs and build times.[/sub]

[sub] These new reactors would be built simultaneously in the new closed cities: City 1, City 2, City 3, City 4, and City 5. These will be built across the nation providing homes to reactor workers and be heavily protected to prevent the leaking of state information. Those living in the Closed Cities would enjoy a slightly more comfortable life as they provide a great service and take a great sacrifice to work in these reactors having to keep the secrets from family and friends alike. City 1 would be established in the Kola Peninsula roughly 165 miles away from Murmansk, City 2 would be established in the Ingria region 45 miles away from Saint Petersburg, City 3 would be established near the Volga River about 95 miles from Moscow, City 4 would be established near the Dur-Dur river 25 miles away from Vladikavkaz, and City 5 would be near Lake Khanka 100 miles away from Vladivostok. The reactors were slated to be built in 3 years with the surrounding cities said to have bare minimum essentials done in 1 year and to full capacity of 10,000 inhabitants by 2 years while waiting for the reactors to be finished these cities will act as top secret Naukograds housing the most top secret scientific knowledge of the Union. This development would also coincide with the mining industry of the Union to start extracting greater amounts of Thorium from the Union's vast deposits which Russia alone is believed to have 4100T of above ground Thorium.[/sub]

GULF NEWS

It has been announced that the Jordanian Nationalists, Liberal Democrats, Bedouin Arabs, and Islamic Abdulrahmanists have come to agreements to unify with the Caliphate to better coordinate assaults and operations against the Ba'ath insurgents in the Northeast and Southern Jordan. The incorporation of these lands come as the Caliph has promised political concessions to allow said groups to establish political parties to participate in the Supreme Parliament for Shura & Governance. The acceptance of the Caliphate into Amman granted a sense of security relief to Jordanians other than the Ba'aths, who knew that they needed to prepare for a fight of their lives. The Jordanian King, upon agreeing to having Jordan join the Caliphate, would motion for the House of Hashim to marry and merge into the Abdulrahman Family to finish the process of a unifying Arab houses into a singular powerful patriarchal family to govern the Peninsula + Somaliland.

The Caliph has indicated the counterinsurgency war against the Ba'aths will be brought to a new level to ensure peace and stability in Jordan. Abu Dhabi has motioned for the 6k personnel deployed to Amman to coordinate with the Royal Jordanian Army as well as for SARGC to switch from a conventional role of operation to asymmetrical and counterinsurgency to root out Ba'ath militants, Ba'ath politicians, and Ba'ath supporters to be arrested for investigation and subsequent trial for insurrection and violence against the Abdulrahman Family.

After the recent cruise missile attack from the Maghreb, Abu Dhabi would capitalize on the the mayhem as it would deploy an additional 20,000 personnel into Northeast Jordan to take control of Ba'ath territory and secure the Caliphate's border with Northeastern Jordan.

ITALY COMPLETES NAVAL DEAL WITH MAGHREB TO ENSURE MEDITERRANEAN SECURITY

APRIL 2027

The Italian Republic has today signed a Naval agreement with Maghreb that shall see the transfer of the Aircraft Carrier Cavour (the sale of which to Benelux was retconned) alongside an additional (enlarged) San Giorgio class to accompany the existing two that Maghreb already operates. It marks a new high for relations between the Countries since the western med. Crisis, but also shows Italy's serious nature on cooperative security in the Mediterranean alongside Maghreb. The sum required for the transfer was not publicly disclosed, however the Foreign Ministry did state that large scale price reductions were made in the name of friendship between the two States, along with the fact that Italy actively wants to spread responsibility for Med. Security among a few other States. Delivery of the Cavour is stated to commence within the month, the Vessel including its entire Harrier complement, with the new San Giorgio Class to take up to three years.

VIVA DUCE : MUSSOLINIS GRANDDAUGHTERS IN THEIR POLITICAL QUEST

https://youtu.be/QfBvJlvnGN8

APRIL 2027

It is perhaps lesser known to the outside world but the family of Benito Mussolini since the end of the war has been famed for two things in particular in Italy : Music and Politics. Generation after Generation has been involved in music and politics, or in some cases both (Such as Allesandra Mussolini). What is also not well known is that there are in fact not two Granddaughters active in politics but three, those being : Alessandra Mussolini (Member of Parliament for Rome), Edda Negri Mussolini (Mayor of Gemmano) & Rachele Mussolini (Recently elected as City Councilor in Rome). All three are active within the Brothers of Italy, thus all three are neo-fascist in nature and in agreement on their family's history : that being that the Duce was a force for good in Italy who unified the Country against the Communist menace which is once again rising to the east.

With all three having significant popularity, they have recently formed the "Italian Social Movement" within the Brothers of Italy Party as a direct reference and continuation of the Italian Social Movement which dissolved in 27 January 1995 as a result of internal struggles. The MSI was itself the official successor to the Fascist Party, and immediately upon entering elections in 1948 proceeded to win fourth place in almost every Election until being disbanded. The continued and consistent support that the MSI achieved for half a century was descriptive of how many Italians refused to change their opinions on Mussolini, and how even among the younger generations they repeatedly found large scale support among certain portions of the Population. With the Brothers of Italy now officially in Government alongside Lega, the three Sisters have formed their movement in an attempt to form a new voting bloc within the Brothers of Italy so they may achieve leadership of the Party by the next General Election.

It is believed by their supporters that as it is a tri-party nature, that being the three Sisters each have slightly different views however all share neo-fascism as a core belief, that they will be a slightly broader bloc than if only one of them were to run on their own. Additionally, it goes a long way to show unity among the Party, as with all three running together it would be virtually impossible to find a Lega or Brothers of Italy voter that did not approve of them. The future shall show whether the Sisters and their new Quest are successful, reclaiming the history of their Family and once again returning the reputation of the legendary Il Duce back to where it is supposed to be, at the beloved center of Italian society. Already their new Bloc has found friends abroad, in the form of Political Parties in Croatia, Slovenia and Albania with which they have had frequent contact as members of Italian Parliament. General Lovric as one example is a large scale financial Donor for Rachele Mussolini whereas Alessandra Mussolini has found support by the Albanian Monarchy due to her Charity work in Albania in the past, and her status as an Albanian Resident (her primary Residence is in Albania, not Italy).

MINISTRY OF THE INTERIOR: PROPOSED RECONSTRUCTION OF TUILERIES PALACE WINS SUPPORT AFTER 143 YEARS

[sub]VTH REPUBLIC | PARIS, 2027[/sub][/list]

[sub]| HELM OF LIBERTÉ, MINISTÈRE DE L’INTÉRIEUR - | Since 2003, the Committee for the Reconstruction of the Tuileries or Comité national pour la reconstruction des Tuileries has been proposing to rebuild the Tuileries Palace. This effort is similar to the proposal of reconstruction of the Berliner Stadtschloss (Berlin City Palace). Several reasons for rebuilding the Palace of the Tuileries have been advanced. Ever since the destruction of 1883, the famous perspective of the Champs-Élysées, which ended on the majestic façade of the Tuileries Palace, now ends at the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel, formerly centered on the Tuileries but now occupying a large empty space. The Louvre, with its pyramid on the one hand, and the Axe historique of the Place de la Concorde-Champs-Élysées-Arc de Triomphe on the other, are not aligned on the same axis. |[/sub]

[sub]| The Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel fortuitously stands near the intersection of the two axes. The Palace of the Tuileries, which was located at the junction of these two diverging axes, helped to disguise this bending of the axes. Architects argue that the rebuilding of the Tuileries would allow the re-establishment of the harmony of these two different axes. The Tuileries Gardens would also recover their purpose, which was to be a palace garden. |[/sub]

[sub]| Also, it is emphasized that the Musée du Louvre needs to expand its ground plan to properly display all its collections, and if the Tuileries Palace were rebuilt the Louvre could expand into the rebuilt palace. It is also proposed to rebuild the state apartments of the Second Empire as they stood in 1871. Plans of the palace and many photographs are stored at the Archives Nationales. Furthermore, furniture and paintings from the palace survived the 1871 fire because they had been removed in 1870 at the start of the Franco-Prussian War and stored in secure locations. |[/sub]

[sub]| Today, the furniture and paintings are still deposited in storehouses and are not on public display due to the lack of space in the Louvre. It is argued that recreating the state apartments of the Tuileries would allow the display of these treasures of the Second Empire style which are currently hidden. In 2006 a rebuilding of the Palace of the Tuileries was estimated to cost €300 million euros (US $380 million). The plan was to finance the project by public subscription with the work being undertaken by a private foundation, with the French government spending no money on the project. The French president at that time, Jacques Chirac, called for a debate on the subject. Former president Charles de Gaulle had also supported reconstruction, saying that it would "make a jewel of the centre of Paris." |[/sub]

[sub]| President Emmanuel Macron has recently reignited the flame of rebuilding the Palace of the Tuileries, with support coming from both the French government and the Comité national pour la reconstruction des Tuileries. Working alongside Paris city officials, the French government has agreed to cover cost of materials while the Comité national pour la reconstruction des Tuileries has agreed to provide the skilled labor. Overall cost of the reconstruction is estimated at €350 million euros (US $405 million). Total construction time with new materials, an abundance of skilled professional laborers, and modern day equipment is estimated at 10-15 years till completion. |[/sub]

[sub]| It is expected that the restoration of the palace will provide the government with an additional space to host state events as well as serve as an additional tourist attraction, with the Musée du Louvre space for more items in it's collection that are currently being kept in storage. The paintings and furniture that survived the fire in 1871 will be put in their rightful places based upon known photographs from the mid-1800's and paintings of the palace interior themselves. Some even speculate that the Tuileries Palace could replace or at least serve as a secondary Parisian residence to the French President. |[/sub]

FOREIGN MINISTRY: REMAINS OF NAPOLEON III AND FAMILY TO BE RETURNED TO FRANCE

[sub]VTH REPUBLIC | PARIS, 2027 [/sub][/list]

[sub]| HELM OF DIPLOMACY, MINISTÈRE DES AFFAIRES ÉTRANGÈRES - | It had always been Emperor Napoleon III's wish that he be buried in France, however exile prevented this from happening. He was instead laid to rest in a tomb designed by his wife, Empress Eugénie in Saint Michael's Abbey in Farnborough, England where she to is buried alongside their son Napoleon, Prince Imperial. When the French government reached out to the British government through a formal request to have the remains of former Emperor Napoleon III, Empress Eugénie, and Napoleon, Prince Imperial returned to France, Her Royal Majesty's government generously accepted. The remains of the three members of France's most prominent imperial family and the last monarch to sit on the French thrown will be exhumed from their tombs at Saint Michael's Abbey in Farnborough, England and brought back to France for the first time since being exiled in 1871. The remnants of the three imperial family members will be interred in the crypt of the Royal Chapel of the Palais des Tuileries which is currently being rebuilt. Interestingly enough, Napoleon III and his family were the last to inhabit the Tuileries Palace. While the original burial site in Farnborough which had been designed by Empress Eugénie herself will remain a popular tourist attraction, the new burial site is expected to become an attraction to visitors in France. | [/sub]

THE ALLIANCE OF HOPE : LEFT WING PARTIES UNITE INTO COALITION IN ATTEMPT TO BEAT RIGHT WING IN ELECTIONS

MAY 2027

Today marks a historic day in Italy as virtually every large scale Party outside of the Brothers of Italy, Lega and Forza Italia have formed what they have coined the "Alliance of Hope". Current Membership in the Coalition consists of the Democratic Party, Italia Viva, Coraggio Italia, Article One, Green Europe, Action, Italian Left & More Europe. Together they hold roughly 40% of the existing seats, and are hopeful that in the upcoming Election they can jointly advertise their cause and gain enough Voters to block Lega and the Brothers of Italy from another term in Government. This could be extremely difficult for them given the introduced laws on political advertising which has virtually banned donations to left-leaning Parties, however as the head of the Coalition Enrico Letta put it :

[list]"This could be the last chance to restore Democracy in Italy, before it slips out of our grasp forever. No Italian should surrender the home of Republicanism to the fascist menace."[/list]

So far with their promises to vastly reduce the size of the Military and abandon hostile actions against Yugoslavia they have already lost the support of the Military and the Provinces, however they stand a good chance of gaining many Voters that are on the fence due to their mainly centre-left focus. Such is their dire situation that the most extreme Parties amongst the Coalition have agreed to "dial down" the rhetoric in order to appeal to more moderate Voters who are more numerous and thus give a better chance of Electoral success. Ring wing Parties in response to the formation of the Coalition plastered social media with statements ranging from "The leftists cant even handle an electoral defeat, they immediately claim we are a dictatorship when they lose" to "Who even wants the moderates in control anyway, this isnt the 90s". Social Media in Italy in general has become a semi warzone across different Platforms such as youtube, Facebook and other chat and discussion sites, the two Italian Blocs at each others throats online.

ITALIAN AIRCRAFT TO BREACH YUGOSLAVIA AIRSPACE ON REGULAR BASIS, ITALIAN ARMY QUIETLY MOVES TO YUGOSLAV BORDER

MAY 2027

https://youtu.be/mXzeQqBy_Z4

In an ultimate move of "if i wail my arms in your direction and you get hit, its your fault", the Italian Air Force has internally (the order is not known to the outside world) ordered that Aircraft should conduct small scale breaches of Yugoslav Airspace on a daily basis fully armed with their standard Air-to-Air compositions alongside two anti-radiation missiles each in case of lock-on by ground installations. Air Units are to travel across the Border in groups of four while Italian Electronic Warfare Aircraft roam around in Italian Airspace, transferring data on land radar installations and SAM sites. Breaches are to occur a minimum of 40 times per day, which will among other things initiative fatigue among Yugoslav Pilots after months of the tactic, as Yugoslavia possesses far fewer Pilots and thus cannot rotate them at the same pace and degree that Italy can (the same thing is suffered by Taiwanese Pilots IRL, they are under immense fatigue). The Italian Navy, being already on station, has been ordered to provide all assistance possible which includes downing Yugoslav Aircraft with their long range anti-aircraft weaponry if said Yugoslavs choose to engage Italian Aircraft.

-----

Accompanying the order to breach Yugoslav Airspace on a daily basis is the mobilization of Italian Forces to the Yugoslav Border. Already around 40,000 Italians are present within the Provinces near Border Regions, however by the end of the week this figure is to be increased to 220,000 as the Italian Army has been ordered to achieve "operational parity" with the Yugoslav Armed Forces. Along with the existing Provincial Defense Forces that are along the Border this would bring the total figure of friendly Troops facing Yugoslavia from the current 268,000 (228,00 of which are Provincial) to 448,000. The mobilization is being done according to internal memos in order to "ensure the ability of a quick victory in the event of a Yugoslav first strike, or additionally the ability for a swift insertion of Forces in the event of further refusal to remove Nuclear Weapons from Yugoslav Territory". Further, in the event that Yugoslavia responds to the buildup, the Italian Strategic Forces currently armed with long range Cruise Missiles (Storm Shadow & Hyunmoo-3) is to stand on alert until further notice, prepared for a swift counter-strike aimed mainly at Yugoslav Missile Sites and Strategic Locations. Overall the deployment is the largest mechanized Force deployed by Italy since the Greco-Yugoslav War, where Italy had mobilized to the Albanian Border.

Total Troops being transferred from Italy to the Border Regions (Croatia, Slovenia & Albania) :

- 180,000 Personnel

Ground Forces

- 1,240 Dardo IFVs

| The horrific attacks in Korea sent shockwaves throughout the world. Very soon after the attacks, on major social media channels like YouTube, Twitter and even Tik-Tok, the major internet announcement was brought up from the People Battalion of Iran.

THE EMBASSY SEASON 2

Arnold Von Wittgenstein left the door of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Italy. It was rainy and the streets were empty. Waiting for him under his umbrella was his secretary Benjamin Jasper.

- so ?

Arnold lights up a cigarette. He clearly was anxious about what he had discussed minutes before.

- The Italians wonÂ’t budge. And they are increasing demands to the point the Yugos wonÂ’t budge either. Its only a matter of time before all of this becomes a nuclear war. But the Italians believe its all a bluff. That the Eurasians wont dare using the atomic weapon.

- What do you believe ?

- I donÂ’t know Benjamin. It would be suicidal to use it. But they have nothing to lose to be invaded another time after just being attacked by Greece. Sometimes I really believe the European Union should have been a forced thing. Now that they leave this is what you get.

They walk under the rain towards the vatican. Arnold, like Bernard Schweis, was a monument of diplomacy worldwide. He had seen the best days of relations between Rome and Berlin. But now, it was nothing that he could have imagined. He was an Italian at heart. His wife was Italian. His children were all born and raised Italians and proud to be even if German by blood. He could guide anyone in Rome and the Vatican sometimes better than Italians themselves. Perhaps this is why he could not sleep. Or perhaps this is why he could not even find the words to his family at home. He felt as if every second mattered now.

- Lets go inside the Chapel.

The Square of Saint Peter was something truely amazing. The colonades, the center of the obelisque and its mysteries. So much history concentrated into one place. The chapel was also empty but the rain outside made it warm and cosy. They sat together and watched the cross of Jesus Christ. Arnold prayed for God to help him find a solution. He prayed that Bernard Schweis would also succeed something in Moscow. That things would get better and even if peace would not be totally achieved, at least the threat of war be avoided. He then looked around the Chapel. He admired every detail, every statue, every painting, every little variation of architectural design.

- I have a call from Schweis.

- Alright lets go.

They went outside. Schweis had met with Sergei Lavrov. The German diplomatic machine was in full swing to avoid catastrophic disaster not just between Italy and Yugoslavia but because all of Europe was at stake. Scheffner had instructed all its diplomatic officers to make the crisis first priority in everything. A special Task Force called Task Force for Special Diplomatic Operations TFSDO was created with a team of 12 experts from the Auswartigesamt to the Bundesnachrichtungsdienst, the Bundesregierung and the EU Council Office.

Day and night, German diplomats went on planes, trains and cars to exchange letters and make proposals to all sides. On the sides, lines of communication between the United States and the Eurasian Federation were established to keep updates on the situation. Scheffner was however careful to not make any public declaration. In a meeting of Foreign Policy, she had made clear that she would rely on the individual efforts and talents of its diplomats. Her involvement was deemed too risky and in fact would be detrimental to the resolution of the conflict. It was always the style of Germany to play discrete and calm to contain the fire and chaos of conflict around. It was now a matter of what the Yugoslavs were going to do. But Arnold was sure the Italian demands were simply pushing for one thing : total destruction. He wanted to go back already and prevent this. He had to wait for the Yugoslav response and try again to negotiate. He simply had to find time to rest at the Embassy on the couch. He could not go home until the mission was completely over and the sun could rise again in a Rome he could continue live in for the rest of his daysÂ

Maghreb Advances Italian Relations Amidst Turkish Militarization

Casablanca, Republic of Maghreb

May, 2027

____________

[list]As the geopolitical situation in the Mediterranean complicates, the Benkirane Administration continues to push its dealings with Ranponian amidst New ProvenanceÂ’s militarization against Arabs nations.

The attitude in Casablanca immediately after the Western Mediterranean Crisis was mixed. Turkey was seen as having interfered and agitated the situation with its naval deployments at the height of tensions. Still, BenkiraneÂ’s administration favored positive diplomacy and a tone of forgiveness which led to attempts to make productive deals with Turkey. This was utterly soiled by a dramatic militarization in Turkey, in which it officially declared itself against Pan-Arabism and Nationalism. While many citizens see themselves as Maghrebi first and Arab second, it still heavily damages public opinion of Turkey. With this move, Turkey was moved from a potential ally to an overt military threat to Maghrebi security.

As the former HMS Illustrious proved to be inoperable, Maghreb moved rapidly to secure another option. Enter the Italian Navy and the Cavour. Cavour is a modern carrier, commissioned only in 2009. With at least several more decades of operability, the Maghrebi Navy was pleased to acquire it at a heavy discount, including its fleet of Harrier Jump Jets. While it was announced that MNS Casablanca would be mothballed, its own fleet of Harriers would remain in service. Another step forward for relations with Italy, the Maghrebi and Italian Navies would engage in a series of training exercises in the central Mediterranean, giving the new Maghrebi crew experience on Cavour.

This lays an increasingly strong groundwork for Maghreb-Italy relations. To some analysts, a closer relation between the two nations is a natural conclusion. Both have a distrustful relationship with Europe, both have vested interests in Mediterranean security, as well as in securing their own regional military influence. Both nations also share strong economic ties. Maghreb, via Libya, supplies as much as a third of Italian oil intake. LNG Pipelines crossing the Mediterranean are also crucial for other Maghrebi exports to Europe.

In light of this, Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita met with Italian Foreign Minister Luigi De Maio in Casablanca, Maghreb. At the meeting, the two acknowledged the fruits of current cooperation and opened the door for future cooperation. They discussed a host of pressing Mediterranean issues, expressing mutual concern over nuclear diplomacy of Yugoslavia and the hawkish stance of Turkey. Speaking on the matter afterwards, Minister Bourita said: ”My meeting with Minister De Maio was very productive. Italy and Maghreb have parallel interests in many places. It is my belief that continued cooperation between our two countries can be very beneficial. Security and stability in the Mediterranean is of paramount importance to the Administration and we see Italy as a valuable partner in this endeavor.”[/list]

Hello all,

IÂ’ve decided that I will be moving on from this region. ItÂ’s been a fun time here and all, but IÂ’m a bit bored and would like to try some new things. I might return sometime in the future, depending on how things work out. Until then, farewell, and thanks for all the great memories.

(PS: IÂ’ll probably stick around on the Discord)

ITALY UNPHASED BY SOVIETS, SHALL NOT FALTER IN ITS DEMANDS FOR YUGOSLAVIA

MAY 2027

https://youtu.be/kqAP9c2hJ6k

In a move of stubborn disregard and stalwart defiance towards the Soviet intervention in Yugoslavia, Italy and its Foreign Ministry have made clear that Italy shall not only continue all measures already implemented to punish Yugoslavia but intensity their maintenance. Italy has stated that Soviet interference does not change its rightful acts over Yugoslavia, nor does it justify or normalize the Nuclear weapons present within Yugoslavia itself. It did diplomatically come as a blow to détente between the two Powers however, having attempted less than a year prior to warm relations and increase their economic ties, such efforts now laying mostly destroyed. Only time will tell whether their stubborn continuation of their previous tactics is indeed a sound tactic, however what is visible is the unity it has created within the Adriatic Community. Whereas prior two of the five members of the Community disapproved of military action in Yugoslavia whatsoever, now all stand united against what is seen as a Soviet intervention against normalcy and peace.

Due to the interference of the Soviets direct increases in the Naval blockade have been called for, meaning that the following Vessels are being added to the Naval Cordon in the Adriatic, to counter any potential Soviet attempt to breach said blockade. The Italian Foreign Ministry has underlined that it has no intention of faltering on its warnings regarding any Yugoslav or Yugo-Allied Vessel trying to break the Blockade, and has stated that it shall engage hostile naval Vessels attempting to do so according to the guidelines of the San Remo Manual.

Italian Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio stated :

[list]"The functional changes as seen in Yugoslavia in the eyes of the Italian Government are as follows : Rather than punishing the Yugoslavs without Soviet personnel present, we are now punishing them with Soviet personnel present. In essence a lot of money is being spent so that Italy can continue doing what it has been doing for over a month now, and shall continue to do until our demands are met, Soviet company or not."[/list]

The following Vessels are being added to the Italian Blockade Force (Southern Task Force) :

- 10x Bergamini-class Frigates

- 8x Gotland-class Submarines

- 4x Todaro-class Submarines

* Further, Italian Coastal Defences are to be reinforced with further personnel, and put on a higher status of alert. In the event of an attempted breakthrough the primary support of the Italian Navy would be its land-based anti-ship Missiles, of which it operates 401 Launchers.

[sup]The twenty-year-long war between the government and the Taliban reached its conclusion with the 2021 Taliban offensive, the resulting fall of Kabul which returned the Taliban to power, and the fall of the Panjshir Valley resistance. Upon returning to power, the Taliban established its government which many believed would be a repeat of the Taliban rule of the early 2000s, however, the reality is always much more complicated than expected. While many of the senior Taliban leadership would make up most of the government, such as Hibatullah Akhundzada as Emir and Hasan Akhund acting as Prime Minister. The Taliban was aware that reverting back to the old-style rule of the '90s was counterproductive and allowed for old members of the Paramerican occupation government to be a part of the new government. The Taliban also alleged that they would uphold women's rights and guarantee protections to both ethnic-religious minorities. The first year of the regime was very turbulent as the government faced mass unrest caused by the threat of economic collapse and international isolation from the world community. Only a handful of countries would recognize the Emirate, that being the Caliphate, Pakistan, Bangladesh, the Maghreb, and Egypt. For the first year of the new regime, the Taliban leadership would attempt to build somewhat of an equal representative government an in attempt to improve its image on the world scene. Former Panjshir Resistance leaders who willing surrendered were allowed to return to their former positions within the government or retire with a state retirement salary under the Panjshir Accords. However, true power was with the council of ministers which was filled with Taliban senior leadership. As a result, the early days of the Taliban were full of backlash from constant protests that spanned over the year. The Taliban initially respected the protests for the sake of national reconciliation, but the protests escalated in late December when an Afghan media influencer, Nawyata Jalali, was jailed for her anti-Taliban activity on Tik-Tok. Her arrest was heavily covered by the media and foreign agents would stoke the flames which resulted in what foreign media dubbed the Kabul Uprising. The Kabul Uprising was a massive city-wide riot that resulted in a violent confrontation between Afghan protestors and Taliban militias who used force to quell the riot. The event was used as propaganda for western media sources to condemn the Taliban government as evil and other such moralization. After the uprising, the Taliban came down hard and began enforcing strict new rules on the population, such as the banning of cell phones for women, internet access, and banning women from learning institutions aside from specialized Islamic schools for women. Full Sharia law was enacted nationwide resulting in a repeat of the former Taliban rules of the late 90s. As for the economic situation of the Emirate, after the Paramerican withdrawal all foreign aid was cut off to Afghanistan and much of Afghanistan's foreign currency reserves were seized by the Paramericans causing a further destabilization of the delicate economy. The first 3 years of the regime were characterized by economic instability, the Emirate only stood the test thanks to the most generous foreign aid from the Caliphate. Afghanistan's trade is limited to China, Pakistan, and the Caliphate. However, due to insurgent activity between the Hazara's and Dustom's Junbish militia in the north, the lack of stability makes it hard for the Emirate to take advantage of its rich natural resources. After the first year of Taliban rule, most of the Taliban militias and several former ANA formations would be reorganized into the Islamic Army of Afghanistan.[/sup]

THE EMBASSY SEASON 2 - INFERNO

Episode 1 : - Arnold Wittgenstein, Ambassador in Italy fails to convince Italian Foreign Minister to find an agreement that Yugoslavia can accept. Yugoslavia also fails to agree. The negotiations continue but Arnold becomes desperate. Time is running out.

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

EPISODE 2

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

Ezekiel 7:7

Your doom has come to you, O inhabitant of the land. The time has come; the day is near, a day of tumult, and not of joyful shouting on the mountains.

HAMBURG HAFFEN - Secret Location - 03:01 AM

The F023 Christiana was ready to leave port. The Captain of the ship, Markus Begen, was waiting impatiently for someone. With him was someone without a uniform. His jacket showed an emblem with the acronym TFSDO.

Far away came one car with its lights towards them. Behind came another one, and soon, an escort. "Here they are" says Markus, finally done with waiting. He was told only 24 hours ago to get his ship ready for sail with no more details except a code name INFERNO. He knew what this meant. INFERNO was the codename for the imminent danger of nuclear holocaust in Europe. But only one ship ?

A black mercedes stops neatly in front of them. Her blonde hair attached and black coat, the tall figure, and the signs of the Commander of the Bundeswehr on the shoulder patches. It was her. The Boss.

- Commander Scheffner

- Is everything ready ?

- Yes Mam

- Have you understood the situation.

- Yes Mam

- Arnold Wittgenstein and Bernard Schweis are doing much to avoid this. You are to escort this man. He is a special agent for the TFSDO. A branch of ATEO. Go to the Inferno and let him do the job.

- Yes Mam

- Good luck Captain. And good luck to you Frederik. Try everything you can.

- Mam ?

- Yes Captain ?

- Wh..what if this mission fails ? is this our last option

She looked away. Her eyes could nearly tell she wanted to burst into anger and frustration. But she kept calm and simply looked back at him after consolidating her spirits.

- I hope it won't be our last option.

She returns to the car. They leave quietly as both men embark upon the Christiana. The ship was busy with preparations. The sailors had no idea of what they are going for. They seemed excited and ready to start their mission after months of non activity except minor patrols. Captain Markus orders the ship to leave port and head for the Inferno : the Adriatic Sea.

VATICAN CITY - 2:20PM

Arnold left the Chapel after a secret meeting with foreign minister Di Maio. Both men were exhausted and seemed to want to end this. Wittgenstein was sleepless for almost two weeks. But it didn't stop him from running towards his secretary and now acting chauffeur Lisa Lowič.

- Lisa ! To the airport now ! I have an urgent message to deliver personally ! Get in the car

She was finishing her brötchen she tossed away and immediately started the car. Her driving was extremely dangerous and at worst, suicidal. But every second was counting, and the car had diplomatic protection and priority.

- Arnold please tell me you have good news ?

- It depends its....

The car makes a hard left turn towards the highway.

- The Italians want the Yugoslavs to scrap their entire navy which

- They won't accept

- Exactly ! All the rest is possible. The navy issue is the LAST thing preventing the end of Inferno ! I have asked Luigi to see if reducing the navy could be better than taking it all away. I'll see if for Yugoslavia this is also acceptable. The more this drags on, the more the Eurasians are going to be involved.

The car was passing cars left and right. The Mercedes was giving everything it had to get to the tarmac where the private jet was waiting after a quick call for the Ambassador. He was sweating and putting his head against the window in exhaustion, ventilating and grabbing his file as if everything in life depended on it.

Post self-deleted by Somerania.

Somewhere in the Adriatic Sea.....

Over the small little waves of the Adriatic, the Christiana came slowly. It was night time still but the morning soon coming. On the radar, the mass of the Italian blockade and its navy dominating the area. Kapitan Markus was extremely nervous. The Italian admiral was notorious for being ruthless. It could be possible that the unexpected visitor be considered as hostile.

As Christiana progressed, an Italian patrol boat detected her. "Sir, we have an intruder entering the zone. German fregate". The Commander was extremely surprised by this sudden visitor. Perhaps was there something he didn't know from High Command ? He decides to open a line with the Deutsche Marine.

- Comandante Borsini, Comandanti-class patrol vessel can you hear me ?

- Kapitan Markus Bender, Commander of the Fregate Christiana. I hear you well.

- State your intentions. This is a restricted zone.

- We have a diplomat wishing to meet with the Admiral of the Fleet Signore.

Borsini cringed slightly. The nerve of these Germans. Showing up like this took some act of either crazyness or unlimited bravery. After all, the orders were clear. Italy was going to increase its moves. Nonetheless, Borsini transmits the demand to the Admiral. A clear message was sent back "Approved". He did not expect a positive response.

- Get the chopper ready !

The entire crew of the Christiana moved around. The pilots ran to the helicopter. The engine roars up to life. Markus and the diplomatic agent, Egon Nielsen, walk towards the open door covering their heads. As it gains altitude and heads towards the flagship of the Italian navy, Markus calls up on Egon :

- Please tell me I'm going to see the sun this morning !

- I don't know Sir ! I'm supposed to receive an imminent agreement soon before the Italian navy does something stupid and the Yugoslavs respond even worse ! I have to be there with him and show the agreement.

- So you are saying that right now is our LAST hour ?????

- Yes. Possibly...

Markus looked outside. He could not believe it. Everything now depended on Arnold Wittgenstein. He was in Yugoslavia right now negotiating the deal. But only God could tell if Egon would receive the message that a deal was struck or not...

The helicopter would soon begin its descent towards the Italian flagship. The Grand Final moment approaching.

CLASSIFIED : ITALY'S PLAN OF ACTION IN THE EVENT OF POTENTIAL NUCLEAR STRIKES BY YUGOSLAVIA

MAY 2027

With Negotiations from the Italian point of view looking as if they are in a stalemate, the Italian Armed Forces has issued "Order 71" which specifically tackles the tactics that the Military shall have to take in either a pre-emptive or direct response operation to Nuclear Weapons from Yugoslavia. It relies heavily on strike tactics and overwhelming firepower in the form of long range missiles, especially those launched in the air which Italy possesses more of comparatively to its ground based weaponry. The Military above all reassures its Forces that the possible use of Nuclear Weapons by Yugoslavia would most likely not be focused on Frontline Units (and ironically instead their families in large cities across the Country) and that the equipment issues to them would be more than sufficient to deal with radiation and possible chemical weapons use.

CONTENT OF ORDER 71 :

A. Considering likelihood of Yugoslav/Soviet first strike prior to invasion, all Long-Range Missile Forces are to remain on high alert until further notice. That being considered, the first operational unit to strike at the enemy consists of ground-launched Hyunmoo-3 by the 3rd and 7th Missile Battalions at [Redacted]. Both Battalions have received specific target locations which consist of what the High Command believes to be the most likely launch and/or storage locations of Nuclear Weaponry within Yugoslavia. These Battalions have been further ordered to exhaust all available missiles in the carrying out of said orders in order to ensure complete saturation of targets and taking into account possible counter-action by anti-missile batteries which however unlikely their intercept is necessary for ensuring victory.

B. All Air Force Chiefs have been issued individual and geographically locked orders and directions for air-launched Cruise Missiles, these Units have been instructed to assist in the carrying out of the Missile Forces primary mission, however their secondary objective is the destruction of Petroleum and other Chemical Stockpiles across Yugoslavia in an attempt to ignite or at the very least cause local spillage which in the case of dangerous Chemicals would be a replacement for a lack of Chemical Weaponry on the part of our own Armed Forces. The final target of the Air Arm is to be known or suspected locations of enemy munitions dumps, which would ensure shortages for enemy fighting power where possible. Primary Armament of the Air Wing in this vital stage is to be the Storm Shadow, as many Commanders have already expected and theorized. Priority for Wing Commanders should be Buildings resembling Silos/Fluid Storage Tanks, or Constructs resembling Refineries.

C. Additionally required of the Air Force is the use of strike teams consisting of groups of four aircraft each, equipped with a mixture of anti-radiation and air-to-ground weaponry, specified arsenal to be decided by respective commanders. Such teams shall proceed at highest possible speed, without regard for engine condition, into Yugoslav Airspace on strike missions against Yugoslav Infrastructure and Electrical Generation Constructs such as Dams or Petroleum based Generation Plants. Losses are expected, as such Commanders are advised to issue information on a need-to-know basis with an emphasis on urgency. Information on enemy positions encountered during flights is to be passed on immediately in order to achieve clear overview of enemy positions and strength. Friendly Air-Support to be expected, however given urgency of stage may be unavailable. In event of shootdown ensure destruction of all possible items of interest for the enemy, and if possible utilize emergency radios to indicate position of nearby hostile units for short term strikes. Under no circumstance move directly to enemy positions as directed under war manual, opt for longest possible in-field solution until communications no longer possible.

D. Due to the lack of Yugoslav Naval Forces in the degree that would be required to pose a serious threat to our own Naval Forces, the Naval Arm is instructed to utilize its available anti-ground weaponry in striking at targets deep enough within Yugoslavia that they could pose the possibility of holding strategic resources or command headquarters. Lists of said targets have been released to select Commanders to be spread at their own discretion, importantly includes targets suspected to be in use by Soviet Forces.

E. Where possible Radar Forces should exchange information with Albanian, Croatian and Slovenian Air Forces and their Attaches. War-plans from Allied Air Forces not included in this Order, each possessing individual plans of action and thus should be supported with any possible material or informative measures, including information on secretive strikes if requested.

[pre]May 2027 | Istanbul Grand City Hall, Istanbul, Republic of Turkey[/pre]

[list][pre]| THE WAVES OF CRISIS: PART 01[/pre][/list]

An atmosphere of fear hung over the great city of Istanbul, once the pearl of the Byzantine Empire then the capital of the Ottoman Empire. Now, the city stood in a relatively average state, not anymore comparative to cities like Ankara, Paris and Berlin. The crisis in the Adriatic was reaching its boiling point. German diplomats were doing their best to prevent nuclear war between Yugoslavia and Italy, but it did not seem to be working. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had been silent for the duration of the recent escalation events due to a flurry of criticism directed at him for alienating the Caliphate, which many had previously seen as a viable and strong ally for the Republic. Erdogan made limited public appearances, only being seen again since the passage of the new military budget legislation leaving Ankara aboard the presidential plane.

> What is the situation, Amir?

> Mr. President, the Italians are strengthening their blockade and German attempts to de-escalate are not working.

> Do you believe Istanbul and Izmir is in immediate threat?

Silence aboard the plane. The others nearby who could overhear the conversation, mainly military staff and presidential advisors, would shift uneasily, all not willing to reach the conclusion that Istanbul and Izmir, two of Turkey's major cities, were in danger.

> I believe so, Mr. President.

> General! A state of emergency shall be declared. Execute stability order 99 immediately.

President Erdogan landed in Istanbul under the cloak of the night, with limited press coverage. The President was not willing to be seen before the cameras after the recent debacle with the Caliphate for now. He, however, now needed to go before his people - the Turkish people - to explain the situation and his Administration's reaction to it. Over the next few hours, President Erdogan would meet with high level officials in Istanbul, including the city mayor as well as major figures in the region, before flying to Izmir and doing the same. The President's internal ministry staff scattered all over the country, relaying the President's secret directive to all corners of Turkey.

At 11:09 A.M., President Recep Tayyip Erdogan went before state television right as most Turks were preparing to go out for work or school. The President's speech was deemed mandatory to watch, and even in schools and workplaces they were broadcasted to ensure the message reached everyone.

> Fellowmen of Turkey. My comrades and allies. Today Turkey stands on the precipice of nuclear holocaust. Recent events in the Adriatic Sea between Italy and Yugoslavia have prompted the deployment of Soviet arms, ballistic and nuclear missiles to our Balkan neighbor. After many hours of discussions with major officials all over our country, it has been deemed by the Turkish Government that the Cities of Istanbul and Izmir stand in the face of immediate and imminent danger. Because of this, I have decided to sign into law Secret Directive A1, establishing a state of emergency in both cities and deploying anti-missile proponents of the military to these cities. The threat is real and we urge all Citizens to take precautions in case of the worst. Praise Allah and may he protect you all.

[sup]Prime Minister Kishida Unveils Measures to Strengthen JapanÂ’s Music Industry[/sup][list]

| [sub]One of Tokyo’s goals under the Former Suga Administration was to considerably expand the Japanese pop/rock industry, which actually worked well with the government incentives the bands received to adequately represent the Empire of Japan in the world. Of course this is being continued by the Kishida administration, after the appearance of one of the top JPOP bands on WorldVision known as JO1, which took place earlier this year, Kishida will use this to officially highlight that Japan is a ‘pop nation’.[/sub] |

| [sub]As we all know, the country that currently ranks number one in the best pop songs in the world is Korea, but Kishida already has solutions in mind. In a meeting with the Minister of Education, Culture, Sport, Science and Technology, Shinsuke Suematsu, a budget of around USD $ 15,2 Billion was established for the new Ministry of Youth, with a focus on expanding the Japanese music industry. Just as the Japanese Government has contracts with JO1 and ONE NÂ’ ONLY, Tokyo plans to sign contracts with 5 other JPOP bands, with the aim of carrying out more television commercials and Internet advertisements.[/sub] |

| [sub]Kishida, on the other hand, was heavily criticized by the Ministry of Finance for spending a huge amount on the new Ministry, and advised it to reduce it to USD $ 7,1 billion, so Kishida reduced the budget to the amount that was advised Minister, Mr. Hakubun Shimomura — But will your bold plans for JPOP reach the shine of KPOP? Only time will tell if that will happen.[/sub] |[list]

A brief summary of Shanghai's celebrations, mayoral statements, and connection to Khrushgrad as a sister city since 1959.[/sub]

[sub]》2027年5月上海 前圣彼得堡城市名称变更的消息并没有让大多数人措手不及,甚至没有引起人们的注意。 但它确实引起了上海共产党的注意。 在苏联共产党第一书记尼基塔·赫鲁晓夫 (Nikita Khrushchev) 之后,以 10 比 0 投票将更名为“克鲁什格勒”(KRUSHGRAD) 的消息。 第一书记赫鲁晓夫在中华人民共和国有180年的历史。 在毛泽东时代,赫鲁晓夫被谴责为修正主义者,并主持了中苏分裂。 中国共产党学者后来回顾了赫鲁晓夫在邓小平时代的成就。 不再是背叛共产主义教义的修正主义者,而是像邓小平那样适应和塑造共产主义未来的改革者。 作为上海的姐妹城市,克鲁什格勒的同名城市导致了一个周末的市长宣言,因为中国共产党将其信息转向拥抱在欧亚大陆恢复的社会主义中发现的新兄弟情谊。[/sub]

[sub]》 SHANGHAI in MAY 2027 News of former St. Petersburg's city title change did not catch most off guard or even notice. But it did capture the attention of the Communist Party in Shanghai. News of the 10-0 vote to rename to 'KRUSHGRAD' after First Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union Nikita Khrushchev. First Secretary Khrushchev has a 180 history in the People's Republic of China. During the Maoist years, Khrushchev was denounced as a revisionist and presided over the Sino-Soviet split. Chinese Communist scholars later reviewed Khrushchev's accomplishments during the Deng Xiaoping era. No longer a revisionist who betrayed Communist doctrines, rather a reformer like Deng Xiaoping's spirit to adapt and shape Communism's future. A sister city to Shanghai, Krushgrad's namesake resulted in a weekend of mayoral proclamations as the Communist Party of China pivots its message to embrace the new brotherhood found in restored Socialism in Eurasia.
